Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Hard Battle (The Second Update!) )
Is it a smoke bomb or is there something else going on?
Ji Yuchen opened the tactical system, and it quickly gave Ji Yuchen feedback on the current situation of troops in the north.
[Our troops: 5 spearmen, 63 halberders, 8 sword soldiers, 8 shield soldiers, 60 archers, 5 griffins, 10 crusaders]
[Enemy Unit 1, Thunderbolt: 60 Gray Wolf Warriors, 25 Barbarian Warriors, 60 Goblin Warriors]
[Enemy 2nd unit, Azog: 230 orc warriors, 90 orc hunters.] 】
During this period of time, the two watchtowers provided Ji Yuchen with 2 spearmen, 3 halberders and a knife soldier, and made up for the two spearmen sent out by Yu Xiaoyue to lose, because the threat from the north increased, so the strength arrangement of the defenders was adjusted again, and there were still 5 spearmen left in the south, and then another team of spearmen was transferred from the south gate, plus the recruits trained by the senior watchtower, and only one team of halberders was left at the south gate.
The archers were transferred to the north gate, leaving only half a team of archers and 8 crusaders, and the south gate was almost a fictitious now, but Ji Yuchen left a small team of crusaders to hide in the first-class hiding cave at the north gate, Ji Yuchen believed that this would definitely be able to deceive the hero of the thunderbolt.
Ji Yuchen had a feeling that Thunderbolt would definitely follow the large army to storm the north gate, and the south gate would be a feint, but just in case, he left Blackbeard and the few bandits over there, with Blackbeard and his bandits, even if he guessed wrong, he could resist for a while, and the crusaders in the Hidden Soldier Cave were still able to rush to support in time, as for why Blackbeard and his bandit troops were not included in the command of the troops, the system's response was that this did not belong to the troops under the direct command of Ji Yuchen, so they were not included in the troops.
The 10 Grey Wolf Warriors, 20 Wolf Cavalry and Grey Wolf Shaman of Thunderbolt did not appear, and although the half-orcs of Azorg on the other side kept sending small troops over to try, the continuous reinforcements still increased his strength slightly, and the strength of the two squads increased.
Ji Yuchen was a little worried, he didn't see the half-orc axe-thrower, and he didn't know how much the third-order half-orc axe-thrower had increased except for the first-order and second-order troops. The archer's health is only ten points, which belongs to the most crispy kind, and the axe thrower for the orc thrower will definitely kneel as soon as he flies the axe.
Ji Yuchen lowered his head and calculated. Twenty-three ladders can put sixty-nine troops at the same time, which means that one ladder can accommodate three troops, and there are now four hundred and sixty-five soldiers on the opposite side.
They will certainly advance the cannon fodder troops on the ladder first, and wait until the cannon fodder troops are eliminated by the archers, and then the main force of the siege will take over. Continue to carry the ladder forward. It is impossible for Ji Yuchen to ignore the cloud ladder and attack the main force behind first, which not only wastes the arrows but also wastes the physical strength of the archers, because the distance is too far, the lethality of the arrows is halved, and the accuracy will drop a lot, and those who can be killed by one arrow may have to shoot a few more times before they can be killed.
Goblin Warriors move at a speed of 12, which is a little faster than the Halberds, the same as the Orc Warriors, and the Barbarians move at the same speed as the Halberders at 11. The orc warriors waited for a round in the back, and when the goblin warriors and barbarian warriors began to move forward with the ladder, they advanced steadily, and the distance of a hundred meters took about 20 seconds.
Ji Yuchen couldn't wait for the ladder to advance so fast, so the number of times the archers could attack was greatly reduced, once the ladder came to the front of the city wall fifteen meters, the archers would have to retreat, this kind of low-level city wall did not have so many arrow towers for the archers to hide, if they were still on the city wall. Not only will it affect the halberdiers and crusaders to effectively encircle and kill the enemy troops who have climbed the ladder, but they will also die in vain.
Twenty seconds is enough for the archers to shoot five rounds, and forty archers can wreak a single blow to a goblin warrior within their effective range. Two arrows could kill a barbarian warrior, and Yu Xiaoyue's twenty marksmen's double shots could produce damage comparable to forty archers.
Ji Yuchen controlled the target of the marksman's attack, prevented them from attacking the goblin warriors who were running at the front, locked on the barbarian warriors who were one step behind, and shot in double combo!
While the goblin warriors were killed by a large number of bows and arrows, the barbarian warriors were killed by the marksmen. The few remaining fish who slipped through the net couldn't carry so many ladders, and a large number of ladders were stranded in place, the archers took a break, and the second round of attacks continued to shoot those who were still carrying the ladders!
The cannon fodder troops were all killed in place at once, at this time the ladder was only transported out of more than thirty meters, and the remaining distance had to be filled by a large number of troops, whether they wanted to take the first-order soldiers or the second-order soldiers as transporters, they would all be sniped by Ji Yuchen's sixty archers, and it would be impossible to lift the ladder to the front without paying the price of one or two squads. This is still because Ji Yuchen's city defense level is too low, and this second-level city wall does not give ranged troops a range bonus, otherwise the archers' attack effective range is even larger.
"Ah, Thunderbolt is here! I thought you were hiding somewhere. ”
Ji Yuchen used the telescope props to check the situation of the coalition forces on the opposite side, and suddenly found the figure of Thunderbolt Fire in the back, he was immediately happy, turned on the megaphone, and shouted below, "I thought you were going to attack me secretly, I was worried." There is no temptation this time, I have so many archers, how many soldiers are you going to spend before rushing over? ”
Ji Yuchen found this megaphone hidden in the depths of the props not long ago, he said, if you bring thousands of troops in the future, those players who don't like the virtual control panel of the command system, how loud do you have to shout to command the army, it turns out that he didn't find this megaphone!
He waited for a long time and didn't see Thunderbolt speak, and he was not in a hurry, while directing the archers to carry out precise strikes on the half-orc warriors who took the ladder, and it was necessary to control that the archers could be killed in seconds with a concentrated fire, and soon he figured out how to kill the half-orc warrior in seconds, that is, a sharpshooter's double burst plus the damage of an archer's shot could kill a half-orc warrior.
The half-orc warriors in the back gathered together to carry the ladder, and Ji Yuchen used archers and marksmen to kill a team of half-orc warriors, and Ji Yuchen's remaining small team of archers shot the half-orc warriors who rushed to the front carrying three ladders in a round of attacks.
However, the three ladders were already very close, Ji Yuchen simply let the three halberders climb down from the city wall, and burned the three ladders with flint when the large army on the opposite side was suppressed by the archers, so that the area of the city wall where the archers who were aimed at the three ladders gathered would be safe, and the archers could shoot one more round.
"I said, this is just the beginning, what's the hurry. My gray wolf warrior isn't on it yet! Suddenly, the sound of a thunderbolt amplified by a megaphone sounded on the other side.
"Ouch hey. Didn't I find the megaphone for a long time? "Ji Yuchen doesn't give up the opportunity to hit the opponent, maybe he will wait for the elite troops to be exposed!
"Hmph, you wait! Burn my ladder, right? Thunderbolt suddenly roared, "Glory!" Glory!! ”
There was also a wave of response.
"Glory!"
"Glory!"
"Glory!!"
You can see the thunderbolt fire in the lead. Putting on armor and going into battle, and then cheering up their own gray wolf warriors, the gray wolf warriors were immediately inspired and shouted wildly, and also infected other half-orc warriors and half-orc warriors. Even if the thunderbolt fire was already listening to the shouting, they were still shouting over and over again, startling Ji Yuchen, is it okay to boost morale like this?
The motivated fighters were emotionally stirred, and their morale suddenly exploded!
In the face of Ji Yuchen's slightly malicious ridicule, Thunderbolt not only did not get annoyed, but responded, he launched the real first wave of attacks, and under his command, a team of gray wolf warriors and a team of half-orc warriors also rushed into the effective range of the archers. The targets were the two ladders that were already less than thirty meters from the city walls.
"It's a real headache."
After the morale of the troops exploded, they also had a certain increase in movement speed, and the thunderbolt caused them to charge, and they rushed to the ladder at once, took the ladder, shouted glory, and put the heavy ladder on the wall as they ran, and quickly climbed the wall.
One of them is the place where Ji Yuchen placed the archers, and the three archers who he didn't have time to withdraw were killed, and the gray wolf warriors who were rising in morale could not be confronted head-on by the halberders, if it weren't for Ji Yuchen's three sword soldiers there. You may not be able to kill them.
The placement of archers on this section of the city wall can be regarded as resisting, but the other section opens a gap for the gray wolf warriors, firmly protecting the ladder, watching the four gray wolf warriors carrying nine halberders to protect the ladder to the death. He has a headache, isn't it possible that he is going to expose his oppressive attack now?
This skill was performed in the form of a squad, Ji Yuchen thought about it for a while, and immediately used oppression to attack the squad to which the nine halberders belonged, and they immediately burst out of morale, destroying the four gray wolf warriors and the three barbarian warriors who climbed up behind. Burn the ladder and burn it with flint.
"That's a skill? I don't have a lot of soldiers to use, can you do it! Thunderbolt was smiling at that end.
Judging from Ji Yuchen's performance just now, if the ladder is fully pressed, Thunderbolt is sure that Ji Yuchen will not be able to stop the orcs and werewolves without sending his crusaders.
"You'll find out later!" Ji Yuchen was not ambiguous, and completely withdrew the archers and pulled all the melee troops up.
"Yo, why are there fewer crusaders?" Thunderbolt shouted.
"I said I'm coming from the south gate now, do you believe it?" Ji Yuchen said that in the face of the orc coalition forces that had begun to fully land, he began to selectively let the troops use oppression to attack when the opponent's troops landed on the wall reached a certain number.
However, the oppressive attack is not a panacea, and the Orc warriors and the morale-boosting Grey Wolf warriors have successfully captured that section of the wall.
"It's a bit hard to do now!"
Thunderbolt watched as he continued to exert oppressive attacks, killing and wounding a large number of their troops in the narrow part of the city wall, and there were only six ladders left, he began to think about whether to send out the ambush soldiers on the other side, but he always felt that Ji Yuchen was still at ease, which made him quite scruples.
