Chapter 256: The battle heats up
The soldiers who were fighting on the front line were all a little puzzled when they received this order, although according to the current situation, they would inevitably have to engage the enemy in close combat, and as long as it was in close combat, there would inevitably be casualties, so theoretically such an order would be advantageous to them.

However, at this time, the soldiers on the first wall thought that the enemy was able to find a place to store the oil because of their negligence, so they felt very remorseful, and planned to make up for their mistakes in the next battle. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu didn't give them a chance at all, and directly asked them to abandon the first city wall and retreat, but no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, they had to obey the command, so they could only follow the order and start retreating.
The coalition forces outside the city soon noticed the strangeness of the defenders, and immediately reported to the headquarters, and after receiving the report, the heads of state immediately came out to check in person, and then someone said uncertainly: "It seems that they are disassembling the catapults, are they preparing to retreat?" ”
"It's possible, but it's hard to say, maybe they are going to move them in order to prevent the fire from burning down those instruments, and I don't think they will give up the first wall easily no matter what." ……
However, the next development of events was beyond their expectations, only to see that the defenders of the city immediately set fire to the remaining materials piled up on the city wall after hurriedly moving the equipment, and then hurriedly withdrew to the second wall, so that the coalition players who were rejoicing that they had finally occupied the first wall did not have time to pursue, they had all completed the transfer.
Although there was a little regret that they were not able to take advantage of the retreat of the Yunze army to launch an attack on the second city wall, but the successful capture of the first city wall was enough to make the coalition army excited, but they did not expect that on the first day of the battle, only the second wave of attacks could take the equivalent of one-third of the king's fortress, they believed that as long as they continued to work hard, it would not be long before they could drive the Yunze army out and make the king's fortress change hands.
At this time, Zhou Yu was explaining to his soldiers why he gave up the first line of defense: "If we continue to be stationed in the first line of defense, we will be very passive. The enemy is usually stationed in the camp outside the range of our long-range weapons, and will attack us at any time, and we must also prevent the enemy's attack at any time, so that the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, which is quite unfavorable for us. And now I take advantage of the fact that the enemy has found us this time, feign defeat, and give them the first wall, so that I can do it. They must be manned at all times, and in terms of distance, the first wall is completely within striking distance of the two walls behind us, and even our archers can attack them, so that we can drag the enemy within our striking distance. Destroy the enemy's living force! ”
After listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, all the generals under his command suddenly realized that Zhou Yu was right, even if the enemy occupied the first city wall, the second city wall was still nearly ten meters higher than it, and it was more difficult for the enemy to break through, but they could strike at the enemy at any time. This is much cooler than passively waiting for the enemy to come to the door.
Seeing that those generals accepted his explanation, Zhou Yu was also relieved, so he then ordered: "Now you go back and reorganize the army and start attacking the enemy in batches in turn, we will let them taste what it means to be unstoppable!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The rest of the generals went down with joy when they received the order, and this kind of battle was their favorite, and the enemies on the first wall were like targets for them. Killing them is effortless.
So the coalition players on the city wall were tragic, at this time they were busy extinguishing the fire and preparing for the arrival of the army, completely unprepared that the enemy who had just fled in confusion would attack them so quickly, so they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. And when they reacted, they felt very helpless, and their remote equipment had not yet had time to be transported. The enemy is a three-dimensional attack on them by catapults, ballistas, and archers. And at this time they were able to barely attack the enemy only with archers on the city walls, only due to the difference in height. Their arrows, if they hit, deal very little damage.
In addition to attacking the enemies on the outer city wall, the Yun Ze army also did not let go of those enemies who were reinforcing in the direction of the city wall, anyway, as long as the enemy entered their attack range, they would all become their targets.
In just a few minutes, most of the coalition players on the city wall have been killed and wounded, but at this time, their reinforcements have also arrived one after another, and the long-range profession will immediately return fire after boarding the city wall, while the melee profession is to set up a shield to protect the nearby long-range players, as for the equipment such as catapults and ballistas in the back, they are also coming at the fastest speed, but before they can suppress the Yunze army, they must also go through several rounds of baptism of the Yunze army's equipment.
At this time, the battle completely entered the white heat, and hundreds of alliance soldiers were killed every second, but because the equipment of the coalition army has not yet been able to put into battle, it is difficult to cause much damage to the Yun Ze army by relying on those long-range professions on the city wall alone, so so far, the losses of the Yun Ze army can be said to be almost minimal.
Of course, the coalition forces want to reverse this situation as soon as possible, and the most direct thing is, of course, to quickly put the long-range equipment into battle, so under the urging of commanders at all levels, a ballista finally arrived at the position and began to return fire at the Yunze army on the city wall, and the ballista troops on the city wall also shifted their targets and gave priority to dealing with the ballista of the coalition army, and the competition of long-range firepower between the two sides began.
Next, the catapults of the coalition army are also about to reach the place where they can attack the city wall, but before that, the catapults on the city wall began to launch a devastating blow to them, the catapults are different from the ballistas, the heavy arrows of the ballista are more lethal to people, and the effect on the equipment is average, so whether it is a ballista or a catapult, it is not too much of a problem to be hit once or twice; The catapult is different, on the ancient battlefield, the boulder thrown by the catapult can be said to be a god blocking and killing the god, and the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, except for the city wall, nothing can resist their power, no matter what kind of equipment it is, as long as it hits, it will be smashed into a pile of ruins immediately.
So at this time, the casualties of the coalition catapults were very large, but they were fortunate that the defenders' catapults did not seem to be too much, and one of the major defects of this equipment was that the frequency of attacks was outrageously slow, so as the coalition forces charged regardless of casualties, more and more catapults arrived at enough places to counterattack and began to fight back, so the casualties of the Yunze army increased instantly.
At this time, the long-range equipment of the two sides can be regarded as starting a full-scale confrontation, with at least one ballista or catapult scattered into pieces every second on average, but the equipment of the Yunze Army can only come from the output of the Chinese base and the No. 1 base of the National War and the capture in the previous battle, and it is also necessary to defend the No. 1 base of the National War, so the equipment in the King's Fortress is very limited. And the coalition forces have the output of twenty-eight bases, even if they have lost some of them before, the total number of the remaining is nearly ten times that of the Yunze army!
So as more and more coalition equipment into the battle, the Yun Ze army began to feel a little difficult, at this time their ballista has ignored the ballista of the coalition army in the distance, and began to attack the catapult that threatens them greater, because the distance is now closer, and the target is still a behemoth like a catapult, so although the power of the ballista is not large, but the hit rate can almost reach 100%, with their joining, the coalition catapult casualties immediately increased again.
In fact, what Yun Zejun didn't know was that at this time, the commander of the coalition army was having a headache for the battle between the two sides, although for now, they still had a slight upper hand in the battle between the long-range firepower of the two sides, but all of this was exchanged for player losses at any cost.
