Chapter 687: Shame and Courage
Huge arrows continue to bombard the Japanese trebuchet camp, the ground trembles as the boulders continue to fall, and the boulders fall on the players who are responsible for operating the trebuchet, and the stumps and broken arms are splashed in all directions, and the scene is unbearable.
The reinforced trebuchet, which has a maximum range of 600 yards on flat ground, fills the gap left by the flame trebuchet when it refreshes its ammunition, allowing the ultra-long-range attacks on the walls of the East Gate to continue to erupt.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a huge arrow stone smashed impartially on the bent beam held high by a frost trebuchet, and the huge force made the trebuchet tremble violently, and the frame parts let out a "crunch!" Voice.
However, after being hit by a Arrow Rock Bombardment, the durability of the Frost Trebuchet was reduced by only 20, and the Artisan player next to him immediately repaired it, quickly restoring the durability of the trebuchet to 100%.
Zeng Jun's body was suspended above the city wall of the East Gate, looking at the rows of frost trebuchets in front of the Japanese cavalry camp, his face was solemn, the armor of the frost trebuchet was too high, and he was hit by the arrow stone in the front, and he only suffered a small damage, at least five consecutive hits by the arrow stone could destroy a frost trebuchet, which was definitely not good news for the players responsible for defending the city.
Although the stone projectiles thrown by these ordinary trebuchets are not very powerful, they are fast, and two skilled operators can fire a stone projectile in an average of 12 seconds, which is five times faster than that of a flame trebuchet, because the density of the attack is high enough, this is also an ultra-long-range attack force that cannot be ignored.
With the acquiescence of the Wenling idlers, hundreds of reinforced trebuchets continued to roar all the time, drawing thousands of wonderful parabolas in the sky.
In less than a minute, the frost trebuchet outside the city roared again, and the second wave of dense blue meteor showers hit the city wall area again, and the entire east gate city wall turned into a sea of frost again, and at the same time, it also caused the Chinese region to lose more than a dozen flame trebuchets and nearly a thousand warrior players.
The level of the siege machine is one level higher, and it is really much stronger, not only does it have an additional attack range of 100 yards, but it only takes 45 seconds to refresh ammo. These two advantages made up for the disadvantages faced by the Japanese as an attacker.
……
Unconsciously, the trebuchets on both sides have been roaring inside and outside the city wall for more than an hour, and in this more than an hour of indiscriminate bombardment, the entire East Gate city wall was left countless mottled marks by the frost trebuchet, and the city wall in several places even appeared palm-wide cracks, and the city wall was very seriously damaged.
The trebuchets placed on the city walls suffered even more during this time, especially the Dawn Guild's proudest flame trebuchet, which was the most severely damaged, and less than 50 of the more than 300 flame trebuchets that were put into battle were still able to continue working.
Of course, the Japanese are not having a good time, and the number of frost trebuchets that are used as ultra-long-range trump cards by Eiji Tanigawa will definitely not exceed 50 now.
The battle in the other three directions was basically no different from the battle at the East Gate, and the battle lines for which the Guilds were responsible, such as Drunken Escape, Decisive Battle, and Murderous Maniac, had no substantive contact in the first hour or so of the war, and everyone only relied on long-range construction machinery to carry out the confrontation.
Of course, due to the three national servers currently participating in the war, except for the two guilds of Dawn and Shogunate, which have high-end goods such as flame trebuchets and frost trebuchets, the other guilds are still using ordinary trebuchets to fight each other, and the scene looks much smaller than that of the East Gate.
After the trebuchet was gone, Tanigawa finally decided to start a frontal charge against the walls with heavy cavalry.
With the sound of the last forty or fifty frost trebuchets and the sound of weak reeds, the ironclad heavy cavalry all over the mountains began to move slowly, and then attacked the east gate wall like a tide, and the heavy iron hooves rumbled through the entire cherry blossom city, completely drowning out the roar of the trebuchet.
"All the ranges re-ascended the walls, and the enemy's cavalry began to charge." Wen Ling shouted in an idle voice.
"The cavalry will follow me out of the city, and be deployed within 40 yards of the city wall, and no one shall leave the 40-yard range of the city wall, and those who violate the rules will be punished." In order to better command the cavalry troops, Wen Yu gave up the opportunity to fight side by side with the air cavalry, and led the ground cavalry, mainly the Scorpion Tiger Iron Cavalry, out of the city to fight.
The heavy city gate slowly rose, and Wen Yu rushed out first, followed by a large number of scorpion tiger iron horsemen.
In the first cavalry confrontation, the Wenling idlers only sent the Scorpion Tiger Iron Cavalry of the Dawn Guild, the Clouded Leopard Cavalry, the Frost Wolf Cavalry and some other miscellaneous cavalry were temporarily left in the city, and the cavalry of the Thunder Guild and several other small and medium-sized guilds also did not leave the city.
Heavy armored cavalry wearing heavy horse armor flooded towards the city wall of the east gate, and the momentum was very huge. The hundreds of ordinary trebuchets that the artisan players had nervously assembled also began to roar wildly, throwing heavy arrows one after another.
Now that ordinary trebuchets have been gradually eliminated, guilds like Dawn and Decisive Battle no longer produce this kind of machinery, but there are still some stocks in the warehouse that have survived the previous wars, and those small and medium-sized guilds still treat this ordinary goods as treasures, so it is not too difficult to pull out hundreds of such ordinary trebuchets in the war.
With the roar of the trebuchet, black arrows rained down on the cavalry phalanx outside the city.
"Bang bang bang!" The dull sound of boulders crashing into the ground came and went. Huge rocks fell from the heads of the heavily armored cavalry, "Boom! With a bang, it shattered into several pieces, dozens of tiny stones.
With a wail from the mounts, the heavily armored cavalry who had been hit rushed out of the rubble with their mounts, and even half of their blood and blood were saved.
"Rub, the defense of the heavy cavalry is too perverted, and the arrows thrown by ordinary trebuchets can't kill them." On the city wall, the alliance leader of a small guild said with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.
The realistic scene is a heavy blow to those small and medium-sized guild leaders and players who regard ordinary trebuchets as treasures, and those trebuchets that they use as big killers are now hitting other people's cavalry head-on, and they can only kill half of their blood, if they fight with such cavalry alone, it will be a fart.
"There's nothing strange about this, if these arrows are smashed on my air cavalry, it is estimated that they can only smash about 20% of their qi and blood, and ordinary trebuchets have basically been eliminated." Zeng Jun's words are very shocking, but they are indeed the truth.
"It's too hurtful for you to say this, that little alliance master, his guild just studied the trebuchet pattern this week, and before he had time to be happy, he was hit by you like this." Bing Lan quietly sent a message to Zeng Jun, reminding him not to speak so directly in the future.
Zeng Jun immediately defended: "Shame and courage, I am doing this for their good, if I get a few ordinary trebuchets and become complacent, sooner or later I will be eliminated from modern warfare." ”
"You don't want to think about it, the actual situation of others, if every guild has the strength of us and the decisive battle, wouldn't the Chinese region be invincible in the world?"
Zeng Jun thought about it, too, there are high and low people, and guilds are also strong and weak, and he usually wishes that every guild is weak and can't help but be scared by himself twice and run away, but now when the national war is going on, he hopes that everyone is the division of the king, how can there be such a reason.
The Japanese heavy cavalry braved the barrage of arrows and stones, and managed to break through the fire blockade of ordinary trebuchets at a very small cost, and entered the shortest range of the trebuchets.
Although the mounts of the heavy cavalry were draped in heavy horse armor, they were still fast.
After a while, the crossbow of the arrow tower in the city began to move, and with the roar of the crossbow, a dense rain of thick steel arrows slanted towards the outside of the city.
Bang bang bang!
Stout crossbow arrows struck the heavily armored cavalrymen one after another, sparks on the armor of the knights and mounts, and a cascade of damage numbers.
In order to ensure the speed of the charge, the Japanese sent a pure cavalry charging team this time, and the treatment support of the priest was lacking, and after a round of trebuchet baptism, many knights did not have time to recover, and they were again subjected to intensive fire from crossbow arrows.
"Ahhh
With a scream, the cavalry fell to their horses and died, and the corpses were trampled into flesh by the heavy iron hooves of the horses that sat down like a tide of companions behind them, mixed with the grass on the ground, and the wet soil mixed with blood, and then kept flying with the flying hooves of the horses......
Under the dense crossbow arrow attack of the arrow tower, the number of Japanese heavy cavalry casualties was significantly higher than before. It's not because the attack of the arrow tower is more powerful than the trebuchet, but because after these cavalry were baptized by the trebuchet, the qi and blood on their bodies have been consumed a lot, and now they are once again under the intensive attack of crossbow arrows, and finally they can't support it and fall to their deaths.
The loss of about 20% of the cavalry under the dense crossbow attack did not impress the Japanese players, at least not their commanders, and the tide of heavy armored cavalry still rushed towards the east gate wall bravely.
"Archer, projectile attack!" The Demon of God roared and took the lead in tilting the longbow in his hand upwards 45 degrees to throw it.
The dense rain of arrows poured like locusts towards the cavalry camp that was rushing outside the city, however, most of those arrows fell on the cavalry, but most of them were bounced away, bringing out a number of damage figures that made people cry without tears, and only a few high-level archers could shoot arrows that could pierce the armor of knights and horses, causing substantial damage.
"The heavy cavalry produced in the training ground is really powerful, sisters, let them taste the power of our mages trained in the magic tower." The battle of space in Bing Lan's hand pointed to the city and shouted loudly.
