Chapter 275: Abandoning the Outer City
Faced with the sudden overwhelming sea of black people outside the city, a group of newly recruited players were surprised, and their faces were also pale with fright.
"The boss of life, what should we do now, we have no way to defend it." One player exclaimed.
"Who said that the defense, we are just putting on a show, as soon as they start the siege, we will escort the craftsmen back to the inner city." Drama is like life.
At this time, the architects, who had been surprised by the situation outside the city, also stopped their work one after another, and poured onto the outer city walls one by one, looking curiously at the large sea of people outside the city.
"Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen this scene" said in surprise, not afraid at all, but with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Yes, we old brothers haven't seen such a big war scene for many years." Several old architects sighed.
"I didn't expect the first big war in the troubled times to appear in our city, is this providence or coincidence?" The world looked at the outside of the city in surprise, and then turned his head to look back, and on the inner city wall in the distance, there seemed to be a figure standing proudly
This man stood quietly on the city wall with his hands in his hands, and a momentum of dominating the world came from afar, which made him worship in his heart.
"Brothers, do you see, that boss doesn't look like our previous boss?" The third of the world said with a trembling voice.
"It's a bit like it, it's the same fighter, it almost makes me think I'm back a few years ago." The architects nodded and smiled.
"Don't be afraid, boy, it's just a game, we can retreat if we can't beat it, the city is not so easy to break." The three-point world roared loudly.
"Yes, Uncle is right, there is still an inner city that can't be beaten, don't be afraid." The drama is like life, and he laughs.
Just when everyone in the city was nervous, a large number of people poured into the center of the basin, divided into four neat ranks of the four legions, and the water surrounded outside the gunpowder city was impassable.
The Pinnacle Legion occupied the north gate, completely sealing the passage of the Bone-Eating Wasteland, and the other three legions firmly occupied all the other canyon mouths, watching the city with fierce eyes.
"Pass my command, no matter what happens, everyone should not act rashly, and from this moment on, stand quietly where you are." Peak Kill was immediately ordered in the Legion.
"I haven't heard it, whoever dares to move will be kicked out of the legion immediately." Feng Feng Yixiao shouted.
"Understood." The people at the peak didn't understand what was happening, but since the commander gave the order, they could only accept it unconditionally.
By the time all the players of the four legions were in place, the basin was already crowded with people, and in the end, only the players of the Bloodthirsty Dynasty were left to guard outside the south gate of Gunpowder City, completely blocking the way to retreat.
Protected by a group of shield warriors, the Bloodthirsty Plotter strode to the closest place to the city.
"The people of the city listened, and called for rebellion against their fate." A group of shield warriors shouted.
"Our eldest brother is resting, what do you want to do?" Standing on the city tower and asking.
"Tell that kid to open the city gate quickly, compensate us for yesterday's losses, and give up the city, and we won't embarrass him, and the previous grievances and grievances will be written off." Bloodthirsty Yuanmou snorted coldly.
"You just dream, it's our eldest brother who you chased and killed has no way out, and now he is besieging our city, whatever you want." The drama is like life, and he said coldly.
"Don't be reckless, there are only a few people in your city, do you still want to resist, if we didn't want to destroy the city wall, we would have already launched an attack." Bloodthirsty Conspiracy said.
"If you want to fight, you can fight, and don't talk nonsense." Hikohiko's temper became even more impatient, and as soon as he raised his hand, he raised his staff, and a fireball roared out.
Swish!
On the five-meter-high castle tower, the fireball flashed and was blocked by a shield warrior with a shield, and a faint damage value immediately appeared above his head.
"Bosses, you can let your brothers attack, concentrate in one place when attacking, don't destroy the city too strictly, we have to repair it ourselves." The Bloodthirsty Plotter turned around and retreated with the people, and immediately said in the command channel.
"Got it." The three commanders replied excitedly.
Thundered
In an instant, countless figures outside the city strode forward, and the shield warriors surrounding the city wall immediately formed a thick shield wall, protecting the ranged professional legion behind them, and quickly approached the city tower.
In troubled times, according to the rules of the battlefield, the defender has a more favorable setting than the siege side, that is, the defending player standing on the castle tower will have three times the attack distance compared to usual, which is a special reward given by the system to the defender.
As soon as the players of the Bloodthirsty Dynasty approached, fifty defenders of the city, under the command of Xi Rusheng, began to launch a dense array of bows and arrows and magical attacks
Whoosh
A rain of arrows fell, and the sound of clanging metal was endless, but it did not cause any casualties on the other side.
"No, your numbers are too small, even if you use the arrow tower, you can't resist, and the outer city can't hold it." The world shook his head and said.
"By the way, Yan Yan hurriedly sent these uncles back to the inner city, and we will withdraw after playing for a while." The drama is like life, and he laughs.
"Okay." Hikohiko nodded, turned around and led a group of architects down the castle tower, and quickly rushed towards the inner city.
The rest of the players scattered around the castle towers, quickly entering the few arrow towers and launching defensive attacks.
In an instant, the tall arrow towers on the city tower began to fire, and thick arrows flew into the crowd outside the city.
Bang bang bang!
Each long arrow shot down, the effect caused was no longer as weak as an ordinary arrow, but directly knocked the shield warriors outside the city and the shield backwards, directly hitting a crowd.
The three parts of the world and a group of old architects happened to see this scene and couldn't help but be surprised.
Since this is the first large-scale siege battle between players in the troubled times, the power of the arrow tower is just being revealed
"Wow, this time it's different from the God Realm, the arrows of the arrow tower actually have a state of shock retreat." The world said in surprise.
"Yes, the arrow tower used to be chicken ribs, but I didn't expect it to be improved so much this time." After thinking twice, he nodded.
"It looks like the status of our architects is going to rise again, brothers, let's mix up with the new boss." The world laughed.
"Got it."
The architects strode up the stone steps and quickly returned to the inner city
Come on!
At this moment, the countless players surrounding Gunpowder City let out a deafening roar in unison, launching an overall general attack towards the city
The sound of the three directions shook the sky, and countless black crowds rushed quickly towards the city in the middle
Li Xu stood on the city tower, looking at the situation around him, only the northern side was still quiet, and the peak army did not move according to the plan.
In the inner city, the returning architects, as well as the alchemists who came out to see the excitement in the alchemy workshop, were all helping to carry materials up the castle tower, preparing for the final defense for a while.
"Xiaoxi, you guys come back too, give up the outer city." Li Xu smiled faintly.
"Big brother, let's play a little longer, and shoot a few more enemies." The drama is like life, and he said with a smile.
"Come back, this is an order, it doesn't matter if you joke about it, during the war, the order must be done." Li Xu said coldly.
"Uh, understood, we'll be back immediately." The drama was stunned for a moment, and for the first time he saw his eldest brother speaking so majestically, he hurriedly beckoned his teammates, withdrew from the arrow tower with fifty new players, and quickly returned to the inner city
Looking at the buildings in the outer city, a third of the buildings that have been repaired, everyone feels a little reluctant, this is a waste of a large amount of gold coins.
Only Li Xu didn't feel the heartache at all, he understood very well that he couldn't give up the child and couldn't hold it, and he gave up the outer city, and the peace in exchange for the future was definitely worth it!
And he believes that the four legions will not wantonly destroy the buildings in the outer city, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the Gunsmoke City has no ability to resist at all, and the city will be occupied by them sooner or later, and it is estimated that they will not destroy the city that is about to belong to them.
Boom
The tower, which had no resistance, allowed the three major legions to approach the side of the tower, and under the orders of the commanders, concentrated their fire on the city gate.
Watching the rain of arrows and magic fall on the thick city gate, a series of system prompts continued to refresh in Li Xu's prompt bar
Ding System: Warning! Players are fighting against their fate, your illegal fiefdom [Gunsmoke City] is under attack by the enemy, and the current durability of the south gate of the city is 29999/30000!
Ding System: Warning! Players are fighting against their fate, your illegal fiefdom [Gunsmoke City] is under attack by enemies, and the current durability of the city's north gate is 29999/30000!
bite
The durability of the three gates dropped wildly, and the system prompt never stopped for a second.
Li Xu, who was upset by the view, directly blocked the system prompt bar and concentrated on the offensive outside the three city gates.
Judging from the rate at which the durability of the city gate decreases, it only takes less than ten minutes for the four major legions to break through the city gate and enter the city.
"Big brother, we're back." Drama is like life, take a group of players to quickly enter the inner city and run to the city wall.
"Each of you three leads a team of brothers to the other three gates of the inner city to assist the NPC guards in defending the inner city, and you must protect the safety of the NPC when the time comes, and don't fight hard with the enemy." Li Xu said.
"Knowing the big brother, even if we hang up, we won't let one NPC die in vain." Drama is like life, nodding.
"Go ahead, it doesn't matter if the city can't hold on, you must hold on for a longer time." Li Xu smiled with satisfaction.
"Got it." The three of them nodded, each with a dozen players, and rushed towards the other three city gates
At this time, Li Xu had already issued an order for all NPC guards to gather at the four gates of the inner city to defend against enemy attacks at any time.
The inner walls of the Gunsmoke City are built on the mountainside several meters above the ground of the outer city, and there is also a circle of five-meter-high castle towers, which makes this place a natural fortress.
On top of that, there are only four passages leading from the outer city to the inner city, and all of them are zigzag stone steps carved out of the stone wall, and the zigzag stone steps are about ten meters long, which is an extremely favorable environment for the defenders.
Just like what Li Xu had heard at the beginning, when the Storm Legion was here to defend against the attack of the Beast Clan, as long as a few dozen people were equipped with sufficient resources, they could resist the attack of tens of thousands of Beast Legions
And now, Li Xu is facing the same situation as then, but he now has an advantage, because he still has five hundred NPC soldiers in his hands to help defend.
Archers and mage NPCs are ready at the four gates, and countless stones and arrows are stacked on the walls, each with two arrow towers
