Chapter 143: Deployment
The whole campaign can be roughly divided into three phases, namely, pre-battle preparation, mutual testing, and the final decisive battle.
Different historical battles will be slightly changed according to the actual situation, but generally will not exceed this range.
Players can earn points in a variety of ways during the campaign, which they can then redeem for rewards after the battle.
More importantly, these points can be directly contributed to national merits.
You must know that merit is the only way to improve your title.
As for the benefits of a knighthood, if you have the ambition to command a fleet that is truly your own, then merit is essential.
It's too early to say this to today's players.
Let's just say that the equipment and props that can be exchanged for points, the highest level reaches the superb, which is enough to stimulate the fighting spirit of the majority of players.
Wang Hao looked at the large number of players in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a meaningful smile.
Points aren't that easy to earn.
There are many ways in which players can earn points in the run-up to the war.
For example, two points can be awarded for transporting ordnance and materials, one point for accompanying escorts, one point for battlefield patrols, and one to five points for intelligence detection, depending on the situation;
Destroying behind enemy lines earns 3 points for each transport ship sunk, and 10 points for destroying a station.
If you can take one of the enemy's naval bases, then it will be a full hundred points.
At first glance, this is a lot of ways to earn points, but as long as players who have experienced a few historical battles will know, the purple equipment that can be exchanged on the quartermaster's supply table is nothing more than a flash in the pan for most players.
Any piece of equipment on it costs a few hundred points, and theoretically, it is enough for the player to take a few enemy naval bases.
But in fact, not to mention that there is at least a third-order fleet stationed in the sub-base, even if the player takes it by luck with the crowd tactic regardless of the casualties, whether the 100 points are evenly distributed or falls on the head of the lucky one, the result will not be acceptable to the majority of players.
Some people also say that even if you don't have the idea of scoring the base, destroy two military stations and sink a few transport ships, as long as you can come a few more times, you can always save enough!
It's a good idea, but when you actually put it into practice, you'll find a very awkward problem.
There are at least a few million players on both sides of the battle, so even if there is a lot of space in this single dungeon, what would it be like if you broke into the rear of the enemy alone?
You will find that there are enemies all around you.
It's like a sheep entering a wolf's den, and you are moving points in the eyes of others, so you don't immediately rush up and tear you to pieces.
This is not a movie, a person can enter and exit seven times in the army, surrounded by thousands of ships, even if Wang Hao encounters this situation, the result is only to hang back.
"Look at what, honestly transport grain and grass with me."
Wang Hao glanced angrily at the guild members around him with excited faces, this was almost the largest event launched by Saint England since the Battle of the Red Coral Sea.
The level of the Saint England Chamber of Commerce has been raised to **, with nearly five hundred members, plus members of several branches, there are almost a thousand people gathered around Wang Hao at this moment.
Hearing Wang Hao's words, the guild members who were originally extremely excited looked like frosted eggplants, all of them looked depressed.
Transporting grain and grass? Isn't that what a is supposed to do? If this reaches the ears of peers, it will not be looked down upon.
"Ah, Minister, won't you lead us around the enemy's rear?"
"Yes, Minister, you can take us and teach those French a hard lesson!"
Several guild members who had a good relationship with Wang Hao persuaded on the side, as if hoping that the other party would change their minds.
Wang Hao understood everyone's feelings, after all, he also came from that age, young people are bold, adventurous and thrill-seeking, but since everyone handed over the command of this battle to him, then he has to be responsible for these people.
"Do you know what those guys next to me are?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Wang Hao's finger, and it was a group of players with red eyes and screaming, all heading towards the opposite ocean.
Judging by the expressions of those people and the shouting slogans, it is obvious that they are going behind enemy lines.
But they still didn't understand what Wang Hao wanted to express, and they all showed their eyes seeking to solve their doubts.
"Cannon fodder, they're a bunch of cannon fodder."
Wang Hao waved his arms to strengthen the persuasiveness in his words, such a large group of people wanted to pass through the enemy's blockade line, it would inevitably attract the attention of the enemy, and the result could be imagined.
If he arranges it, he will definitely divide everyone into squads one by one, sneak in from different locations, and there is no need to converge after entering, flexibility is their biggest means of saving their lives behind enemy lines, at most, occasionally several squads occasionally join forces to do a vote, and immediately part ways after doing it.
The whole nest is together, that is the rhythm of looking for death.
As for what can be gained in the end, it can only depend on each person's ability.
Because he was behind enemy lines, there were too many unpredictable variables, so Wang Hao did not recommend everyone to go.
In comparison, although the transportation of supplies and escorting grain and grass at home is a little slower, it is better to be sustainable and stable, but when this is said, everyone may not be able to accept it.
Immediately, Wang Hao's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart: "They are the cannon fodder for us to explore the way, through their hands, we can find out the enemy's arrangement, and when they are tired, then it will be our turn to perform on stage, this time the battle will last for a long time, don't worry." ”
Let's stabilize everyone's emotions first, and as for the future, who knows what will happen next, let's talk about it then.
He thought a little irresponsibly.
"Minister, you're so insidious, but I like it."
"Hehe, I'll just say, with the minister's surname, where will I suffer!"
"Hahaha, let those fools explore our way in front, and let's earn some pocket money while recuperating in the back."
Everyone's faces showed joy, not mentioning that they almost became one of the cannon fodder, but they were all in high spirits.
Simple people are easy to satisfy.
Wang Hao sighed, counted the people present, and began to group and assign tasks.
Two-thirds of them went to take up the transport mission, and one-third took on the accompanying escort mission.
These two look similar, but in fact they are different, although the transport task is a little more rewarding, but there are risks, if in transit, the ship is sunk, then not only will they not get the reward, but will be deducted a point.
However, there is no such punishment for those who receive the escort mission, but for each player who kills a player who comes to grab food, they will be rewarded with a point.
In order to prevent the two sides from swiping points from each other, players are not allowed to communicate over long distances in the dungeon.
Therefore, the transmission of information between each other should also be transmitted by manpower.
This also has the advantage of making the war more real and reducing the impact of external forces.
In these three historical battles, the Mingliang Naval Battle in East Asia was smaller after all, and its influence was limited to Asia, and the participating countries were basically Asian countries.
Although the Battle of Lebandor was the largest naval battle in Europe at the time, it was a religious dispute that discouraged many players.
So the Hundred Years' War between England and France became the best choice for other players.
According to official statistics, since the start of the event, the number of players on both sides of the Anglo-French battlefield has been in a process of rapid increase.
So far, there are 4.17 million players on the British side and 4.43 million on the French side.
Judging from the current growth trend, the final number of participants in this battlefield is bound to exceed 10 million.
Nearly 10 million players are crammed into the same dungeon, and it's an exciting thing to think about.
"There's no problem with the server, right?" A white man asked with concern.
"The Titan is working well at the moment, and even if the number of people doubles again, there will be no problems."
"yes, now it's up to the lads to perform." ――
Headquarters of the British Navy.
The commander in chief of the coalition forces is none other than Horatio. Nelson, this is a very relatable person.
As one of the world's top legendary captains, his skill in commanding fleets is even greater than his personal prowess.
Looking at the new information sent in, he couldn't help frowning, the strength of both sides was increasing rapidly, but the intelligence work was not in place for a long time, which really annoyed him.
"Issuing orders to increase the rewards for spying on intelligence."
As soon as his voice landed, a man with an old-fashioned face walked out.
Nelson muttered, the naval strength of Britain and France is basically equal, and the real decision to win or lose is probably to focus on those strangers.
I don't know what my old opponent is thinking about at this time?
On the French side.
Commander-in-Chief of the French Navy's fleet was Truguet, also a legendary captain.
He was the strongest sailor in the Napoleonic period, served as the commander of the Brest fleet, and had great personal strength, but he was deprived of all positions in the later period because of his admiration and opposition to the imperial system.
There was a rumor that if he had been in charge of the navy at that time, perhaps the whole of Britain would have been flattened.
Although it is only a rumor, it also speaks volumes about his strength.
Unlike Nelson's cautious care, Truguet was more aggressive, and his favorite was big-budget plans.
"Tell me to go down, I want to see the leaders of those strangers, the quota is only ten, let them discuss it themselves, I just want the result."
There was a gleam in his eyes, and in order to achieve his goal, he would not care whether those strangers lived or died.
At this time, there was a change in the mission signs on both sides.
The British side raised the reward for intelligence from time to time, which attracted the hearts of countless players, and after receiving the mission, they went to the French camp.
As for the players on the French side, they are boiling, although they are a little inexplicable about this task, but the reward is actually to be able to meet with the Supreme Commander, even if they know that it is impossible to subdue this legendary captain, but even YY is not bad.
For some interested players, it is possible to read more useful information from this quest.
But Wang Hao didn't know anything about all this, and the aborigines' active surnames were greatly enhanced, making the world in the game develop in an unknown direction. (To be continued.) )
