Chapter 236: Defensive Battle
For one night, there was no stop outside Taoyuan Town.
The rebels didn't pay attention to the rabble at first, but the enthusiasm of the players deeply shocked them, and I don't know if many players hadn't received the news during the day, and at night, players from all over the world gathered outside Taoyuan Town.
Suddenly, the rebel camp was no longer facing sporadic strikes like during the day, but wave after wave of onslaught.
The night greatly weakens the attack range of the archers, and often the sneak attack players will not be detected until they are close to the camp ten meters away, and at this time it is obviously impossible to defend the enemy outside the camp, and the archers cannot play a role, so they have to rely on ordinary soldiers to fight in close combat.
It is inevitable that there will be casualties in hand-to-hand combat, and although it takes more than a dozen players to exchange the life of a rebel soldier, the number of players is so large that it is impossible to tell in the dark how many players participated in the sneak attack at night.
In desperation, General Sun and General Li had to repeatedly shrink the area of the camp to minimize the space for players to sneak attack, and at the same time, they had to arrange a considerable number of soldiers to take turns on duty.
Rao is like this, at the end of the night, more than 100 of the 1,700 rebel soldiers were killed!
The two generals faced the corpses of the rebels lined up in a row, and they were so angry that they cursed in the direction of Taoyuan Town. Relying on the characteristics of players who are not afraid of death, Taoyuan Town launched a death squad-style attack on the rebel camp, according to the approximate battle damage ratio, this night, there were more than 2,000 players involved in the sneak attack!
So many were killed. There were more soldiers with varying degrees of injuries, and only about 1,300 were left unharmed.
General Sun, who was furious, immediately issued an order to attack. Be sure to ask your men to break through Taoyuan Town within an hour.
Siege battles are on the verge of breaking out!
This time, the rebels learned the lesson of General Li last time and were very well prepared. In addition to the archers, he also brought some siege equipment including ladders and chariots. With the support of these siege equipment, the rebels were obviously much more confident in attacking the city.
Under the cover of the archers, the infantry with siege equipment slowly thought about leaning at the foot of the city wall, to the surprise of General Li, there was no rain of arrows on the city wall, although I don't know what the reason is, but this is always a good thing, and many unnecessary casualties can be avoided.
What he didn't know was. In fact, if it weren't for those casualties last night, Wang Hao would definitely arrange archers to go to the city to participate in the defense today, and at this critical moment, he couldn't hide it at all.
However, the results of the one-night sneak attack greatly exceeded his expectations, and according to the incomplete statistics reported to him, the death toll of the rebels was more than 200, and he also knew that there must be some factors of double counting and false reporting, such a great enemy in the current situation. He didn't care about distinguishing which people were making false reports, but the results of his discussions with others, removing the factors of false reports, made a conservative estimate. The number of rebels who lost at least 100 in one night was very close to the real situation.
Considering the number of injured people who are inconvenient to go directly into the battle, Wang Hao has greater confidence in this battle!
Thereupon. Out of this optimism about the prospects of the war, he decisively decided to keep the drunkard squad in hiding. Until the last minute, I won't consider sending it out for the time being. So. There is no sequence of archers among the city defense troops, and ordinary soldiers don't know that there is a rare type of archer in Taoyuan Town.
Without archers, the defenders of Taoyuan Town could only resist the suppression of the opposing archers on the city wall, while quietly waiting for the opposing siege force to slowly approach.
In fact, the archers of the rebels were so idle that the defenders at the head of the city could not cause any trouble to the besieging troops, even if they were not suppressed with bows and arrows. It's just that this kind of shooting, even if it is a habit, can also reflect a kind of suppression of the other party, which is always useful in terms of momentum.
The ladder slowly erected the city wall, normally speaking, in this case, the defenders should try their best to prevent the other party from going to the city, but the defenders of Taoyuan Town are gearing up one by one, as the first batch of players in the entire game world who are fortunate enough to participate in the town attack and defense battle, they are about to usher in the first siege battle, which is not the general excitement!
The rebel soldiers cautiously approached the city through the ladder, and when the first soldier jumped up the tower, at least five sabers beckoned him!
It is by no means an idle person who can be the first to go to the city as a spearhead, at least from the perspective of combat effectiveness alone, it will definitely not be lower than 20, and such combat power is almost invincible for a player soldier with an average combat strength of only about 10.
However, there were too many people on the city tower, and the rebel soldier had three heads and six arms, but the space on the city wall was too small for him to move, and after he barely cut down seven or eight players, he finally accidentally opened the scoop and fell down without snorting.
However, his heroic performance had created enough time for those behind him, and by the time he fell, two more rebel soldiers had already jumped onto the walls. With the foreshadowing of the previous person, after the two arrived at the city wall, they relied on each other to resist the attacks of more players and soldiers around them.
The rebel soldiers continued to storm the walls, scuffling with the defending players.
There are constantly players turning into white light everywhere on the battlefield, and the space of the city wall is narrow, and the rebel siege troops cannot be dispersed on the city wall on a large scale, and the total battle damage ratio can be controlled at about five to one, but even so, Wang Hao still couldn't help frowning.
At this rate of casualties, 1,000 soldiers would not last much time, and even if they were all resurrected, it would be difficult to last for more than an hour. Because, as the number of casualties increases, the walls will become more and more empty, which will lead to a significant increase in the battle damage ratio.
Seeing that it couldn't go on like this, Wang Hao waved his hand at a few people behind him and said, "Let's go!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he rushed forward first, followed by Huang Zheng, Liao Hua, and Water Snake, three subordinates with strong combat effectiveness.
With their accession, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed dramatically. Especially on the section of the city wall where Huang Zheng appeared, the rebel soldiers basically died one by one, and they didn't need the help of other defenders. (To be continued......)
