Chapter 319: Siege Weapons
A huge and typical medieval castle, this type of building is not uncommon in the game, especially in human territory, but when Lu Xiaofeng and the others saw "it", they were all stunned for a moment.
It's hell to see this style of building in this inaccessible world, which means that they weren't the first visitors!
"The Axis Ring Castle is known as the strongest stone castle ever built," Halo exclaimed: "This kind of castle has two concentric castle parapets, reinforced with the outer wall, you see, the inner wall is much higher than the outer wall, in order to give the long-range fire on the inner wall a greater field of view and firing range, so as to form a crossfire on the inner and outer walls, not long ago I wanted to dive in to have a look, but I was almost killed by the archers above." ”
“…… You even have research on castles? ”
"I understand a little." Halo said proudly: "As an intelligence businessman, being knowledgeable and well-informed is a basic skill. ”
"Well, if you know how to break into this castle, I'll admit that you're knowledgeable, or you're a second-rate crappy intelligence monger."
"Really? It's very simple, if you look at the gate over there, I think we can get in if we break the gate. ”
“…… As if they hadn't said it, the dwarf archers above didn't look easy to mess with. ”
"It's not easy to mess with, it's not easy to mess with, it's all bronze bosses, and there are quite a few of them."
A group of people observed around the castle from a distance while discussing, Lu Xiaofeng and a few people rushed forward to test the strength of the guardian power on the castle, not only caused the rain of arrows from the archers on the city wall, but also encountered the attack of ballistas and catapults: crossbow arrows with the thickness of human arms, burning stones, the visual effect of the attack is obvious, it is very easy to distinguish, and if you eat their attacks, you will drop nearly a thousand blood, and the "steel plate" equipment that Lu Xiaofeng is proud of is as brittle as paper paste in front of these city-defending weapons, Fortunately, these siege weapons in the city did not attack quickly. The number doesn't seem to be much, otherwise these defending weapons alone would be enough for the invading enemy to eat a good pot.
"It's so fierce!" Lu Xiaofeng rolled back out of the castle's guard range, dodged the archers' pursuit, stood in the back and recovered the amount of blood, just now the temptation ate a round of damage in order to test the strength of the attack, and was almost given seconds by the defending weapon.
"What to do? I looked at it just now, and there was a canyon behind it, and the junction was blocked by this castle, and we couldn't go around it and couldn't continue to explore. ”
"Canyon?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at the map. He said: "Our current position is not very far from the center of the map, it seems that the poisonous dragon is likely to be at the back of the canyon, and this castle is the way to go, so we need to capture this castle." ”
"We don't have enough long-range power right now." Bai Yunfei said: "The archers on the city wall are very fierce, if we can't solve them first, we will suffer huge damage during the siege, and those weapons to defend the city are also troublesome, and there is a little bit behind." We don't have siege weapons, and it's hard to break down that gate. ”
"Siege weapons?" Some people don't know very well what this concept is, but Lu Xiaofeng and Halo both nodded, they and Qianfu Bailian and Bai Yunfei did the large-scale dynamic mission in Shuren City. I've seen the ramming car used in the siege, and the effect of the siege weapon hitting the city gate is much stronger than the player's weapon slashing magic blast, which is fundamentally different.
Lu Xiaofeng briefly explained the concept of siege weapons, and those people were stunned when they heard it. The head of the enemy who could not kill him proposed: "As for siege weapons, we should go back to Commander Rosen, I think only the advance army will have siege weapons here." ”
"That's right. I can only find a way to find him. ”
Lu Xiaofeng sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and said: "No matter what it is, there will be a castle here, anyway, we have to take it down, and the more we hurry, the better, how to say that attacking a city guarded by NPCs will be easier than a city guarded by players, today we should encounter the best opportunity, everyone is lucky." ”
The crowd chuckled, indeed.
Lu Xiaofeng continued: "We chose a random road and went straight, and then we met the only castle on this map here, so we should buy lottery tickets for such luck." ”
Everyone laughed again, and Halo said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, there will definitely not be only one such castle, wait a few of us to run around this mountain range and see how many such castles there are." ”
"Well, we should divide our troops into three ways, halo you take people to explore the number and specific location of the castle, and the others go back to Commander Rosen to see how he reacts, but I don't think there is a good chance that he will give us siege weapons."
"Oh, for what?"
"Because the forward base has not yet been built, the mission on us will not be completed at this time, and if we go to that NPC at this time, he will ignore us."
“…… That's right. So what to do? ”
"Lao Fei, if it doesn't work, you can organize a strong attack." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Of course, the sooner you take this kind of castle, the better, you don't need to explain this, you can understand." ”
"Well, that's exactly what I mean! But I'm afraid we won't be able to beat it, the last time we fought that kind of wooden fence monster camp, it took a long time, this kind of stone castle is very difficult to see, and the gate looks really thick......"
"If you can't beat it, you should first touch the intelligence, collect data and prepare for it, in short, since we are ahead of others, we should not let ourselves slow down, even if we fail, we must fail earlier than others."
“…… You're right. By the way, the soldiers are divided into three roads and there is one more way, what are they going to do? ”
"Plan ahead." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'll go with you to Commander Rosen first, if he gives the siege weapons everything is fine, if not, I guess there is a place where you may be able to get siege weapons, I'll go there and take a look." ”
"Where?"
"Didn't you just say that?"
"Ahh I got it. Bai Yunfei patted his head and said, "Nightmare Court, why didn't I think of it?" ”
"Huh." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and instructed: "Let's go, hurry up, if I really go to the Nightmare Court for a while, keep my whereabouts secret, now we are on the cusp of the storm, it is really dazzling, any move will be concerned and analyzed by those who are interested, so don't let people know where I am going and what to do, you must know that the confidential information of Lu Dao is the hole card." ”
"Ha Luha, I know." Bai Yunfei said with a smile: "Let's go, I hope everything goes well!" ”
Everyone acted according to the plan, halo arranged with a few fast runners, and acted at two ends, while Bai Yunfei and Lu Xiaofeng returned to the forward base and met with Commander Rosen on the hot construction site, but the situation was tilted towards the expected side, and this NPC ignored everyone's enthusiastic clicks.
"Brother Leopard was guessed by you." Bai Yunfei smiled bitterly.
"There are good and bad." Lu Xiaofeng did not delay, began to read back to the city, and took advantage of the progress of the reading note to walk: "Lao Fei acted according to the plan, pay attention to collecting intelligence. ”
"Understood, you hurry up and get things done over there and come back."
“OK!” Lu Xiaofeng replied, and the screen flashed and a figure appeared in the lion arch, he summoned the lightning lion and took out the horn and began to rush away.
There was a long distance from the Lion's Arch to the main city of the Tree Man, Silva, and Lu Xiaofeng received a secret message from Bai Yunfei halfway through the arrival, saying that they had gathered men to prepare for the siege, but after a quarter of an hour he received the news of the defeat, because most of the siege players did not know enough about the attack power of the weapons defending the city, because the formation was dense and was easily wiped out several times.
Lu Xiaofeng was not surprised by this, he had a deep understanding of the attack power of siege weapons, and knew that if he couldn't break the city gate quickly, in fact, this number of players wanted to capture the castle was an extravagant hope, that is to say, without siege weapons, it was impossible to take the castle for the time being.
He estimated that the second wave of the players' attack might last a little longer, but the thickness of the gates and the sharpness of the siege weapons would keep them defeated, and as expected, he received the news of defeat again within half an hour.
That's why Lu Xiaofeng said that there are good and bad.
Knowing that Lu Dao will fail but still asking them to attack the city, if it is known that Lu Dao will definitely say that he is cheap, but in fact, even if he doesn't say anything, Bai Yunfei will definitely still go to attack the city, instead of stopping them, it is better to let them taste the bitter fruits of defeat first, otherwise how can they seem to be extremely dazzling after they get the siege weapon?
Aha, this is the big winner in life!
Lu Xiaofeng smiled proudly, and happily advanced to Da Ailong, coming to the first floor of the Nightmare Court.
This time, he revisited the old place, and he familiarly walked around the treant camp in the depths of the map, but he didn't see the supreme leader of this place, Berego, the strong bow, and the purifier Kellyburn, and so on After asking the players who were active nearby, he learned that the players had unlocked the barrier on the second layer of the Nightmare Court and captured it, so the two old NPC acquaintances had already settled on the second layer.
The entrance to the second layer is in another place, Lu Xiaofeng went in according to the information he inquired about, and it didn't take long to find these two long-lost old friends, click to talk to them respectively, and didn't get any information about siege weapons, Lu Xiaofeng was slightly disappointed, and began to turn around in the camp, except for these two NPCs, the most likely one related to siege weapons is the quartermaster.
When he found the quartermaster, Lu Xiaofeng was a little apprehensive, if it didn't work out, he would come for nothing, took a deep breath, and he firmly clicked to talk to the officer:
"Adventurer, what do you need?"
Lu Xiaofeng opened his sales menu for a quick look, and soon a red option caught his attention: a small catapult.
Small Catapult: With a range of 500-1800 yards, it deals moderate damage to walls and gates, and light concussive damage to the player.
The dream came true, Lu Xiaofeng had a thrill in his heart, and then carefully confirmed it several times before he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was it that he was looking for! This thing costs 2 gold, which is a lot of money, but the biggest problem at the moment is not the price, but the red option, which means that there is no right to buy it.
Lu Xiaofeng scolded secretly, there are many good things, it seems that I have to spend a little time for this purchase permission, the time is really not enough! (To be continued......)
