"The training ground is a place dedicated to training cavalry."
The Magic Tower is a place dedicated to training mages, and the training ground is of course a place dedicated to training cavalry. Maybe there are other special buildings in the pale yellow world that are dedicated to training infantry, archers, priests and assassins, but you have not had the opportunity to see them yet. That's all.
The rumbling sound of iron hoofs suddenly stopped, and the millions of cavalrymen in Japan suddenly stopped. They stopped at a place where the flame trebuchets set up on the city wall could not hit them. They were quiet, as if they were waiting for something.
"What are they waiting for?" someone asked.
"Waiting for their long-range attack equipment."
"Within the attack range of the flame trebuchet, do they still want to set up the trebuchet safely?"
"No, so they don't plan to do this at all. Instead, they assemble it and push it out from the rear of the cavalry camp." Zeng Jun said while looking into the distance.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of heavy iron hoofbeats sounded again, and passages automatically separated from the neat cavalry team. Then from the back of those passages, huge monsters covered with green linoleum were slowly pushed out.
Tongyang pointed to the huge beast slowly pushing out from behind the cavalry camp in the distance and asked in confusion: "Why did they cover those trebuchets?"
Zeng Jun glanced at Tongyang and replied: "We also covered the kerosene trebuchet."
This answer seemed a bit inconsistent with the question Tongyang asked, but Tongyang understood it, so she stopped asking and looked nervously at the huge beasts being pushed out one after another behind the cavalry.
After a while, the green linoleum formed a sea of green in front of the heavy armored cavalry, which looked spectacular from a distance.
"I didn't expect the number to be so large." Binglan said with a sneer.
"What I'm more concerned about is what are the machines underneath those green linoleum coverings." Zeng Jun said with a frown.
The idler in Wenling thought for a while and guessed: "Being able to refresh the training ground, maybe Shogun City has successfully upgraded to the tenth level castle. Nothing major happened in this area some time ago. Apart from this incident, I can't think of anything else in Shogun City." What kind of opportunity can renovate a training ground?"
"What the uncle means is that those machines are products produced by the Level 10 Research Institute."
"Very possible."
"Then..." Zeng Jun suddenly felt a chill rising in his heart. If those were really products produced by the Level 10 Research Institute, he might be in big trouble this time.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the attack range of those machines." Wenling Xianren said.
At this moment, a zither sound suddenly sounded from the city wall. Everyone on the east gate wall was silently looking at the green sea outside the city, whispering what was covered under the green linoleum. Something, so it suddenly seemed a little quiet near the city wall.
In such a quiet environment, the sudden sound of the trebuchet's spring bouncing was a bit harsh, like a muffled thunder suddenly striking in the sky filled with dark clouds.
"Ah." Many players were frightened by the sudden thunder of the sword, and subconsciously screamed.
A black arrow flew out of the city in a parabola with a scream in the air. With a muffled bang, it landed heavily not far in front of the green ocean.
"Who is making the cannon fire?"
"What kind of airplane are you doing? This will scare people to death."
"It's so undisciplined."
…
Complaints from the players on the city wall kept coming one after another.
Behind an enhanced trebuchet, Ye Ming stuck out his head, stuck out his tongue, and defended in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Please use more accurate words. It can easily cause ambiguity. Besides, I'm just I want to test the distance between the opponent and the city wall, how can this be called a random cannon fire?"
"It turns out to be Boss Ye Ming. Sorry, we didn't see it was you having sex just now."
Ye Ming got angry and shouted loudly: "I emphasize again, you are not allowed to use the word sex."
A group of people all looked in the direction of Ye Ming, with different expressions on their faces.
Feeling the gazes directed at him from all directions at the same time, Ye Ming wished he could find a crack in the city wall and get in.
Occasionally, there was a player who was relatively slow to react and still persisted in whispering: "But Boss Ye Ming, you also said you had sex just now."
Ye Ming was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall.
…
Afterimage Mirage walked out from the other side of the trebuchet, glanced at Ye Ming sympathetically, sighed softly, pointed to the seemingly tiny crater made by the arrow in the distance and said: "The enhanced trebuchet's The maximum range is 600 yards. Based on the height of the city wall, it can be increased by about 20%. In fact, the maximum range should be 720 yards. If the opponent's machine has a maximum range of more than 750 yards, it will probably be very troublesome, but Lao Lei just tried a shot..."
Ye Ming's resentful eyes looked at the afterimage mirage with a murderous intent.
Afterimage Mirage deliberately turned her face to one side so as not to meet his gaze, and continued: "The impact point of the arrow is not too far away from the opponent's machine. According to my judgment, it should be less than 80 yards away. The opponent has not yet moved the machine. The green felt covering outside has been lifted, which only means that from their current location, they cannot effectively attack the city wall area, so we shouldn't worry too much about the distance."
The maximum range of the flame trebuchet and the enhanced trebuchet are both 600 yards. Of course, this maximum range refers to the range on flat ground. The maximum range on the city wall is about 720 yards. If the afterimage mirage The judgment is accurate, and we really have nothing to worry about.
…
As if to confirm what Afterimage Mirage said, as soon as Afterimage Mirage finished speaking, the green ocean suddenly started to move slowly, rolling up the green water and slowly spreading towards the green grassland on the plain outside Dongmen City.
"Get ready to fight." Ye Ming swept away the awkward look on his face and said loudly.
The guild members responsible for controlling the trebuchet immediately took action after receiving the order and quickly entered their own fighting position.
The waves of green water push forward and engulf the green grass little by little. The green area between the city wall and the green ocean in the distance is getting smaller and smaller...
Finally, those players who were hiding in the blue ocean and appeared to be very small suddenly jumped out unwilling to be left alone. With uniform movements, they stretched out their hands and pulled hard, quickly tearing off the green felt cloth covering the tall machine. , a tall trebuchet exuded a blue light under the sunlight.
There was obviously a strong chill in that blue light, which oppressed the surrounding air and instantly condensed layers of light mist.
Countless water mist gathered together to form a swirling fog. In the dense sea of trebuchets, the clouds and mist shrouded, instantly covering the ferocious faces of those machines that shone with blue light in the sun.
"preparation."
"Say she."
Following Ye Ming's order, the crisp sound of machine springs continued together, and thousands of stones on the east gate city wall were fired together. The arrow stones dragging the long tails of cargo flames screamed in the air, drawing out lines one after another. The fiery red trajectory roared towards the mist-shrouded land outside the city.
Almost at the same time, the mist-shrouded land also rang out with crisp sounds of reeds and zithers, and streams of blue pops roared towards the city wall from a distance.
People who were admiring the majestic beauty of thousands of flying fireballs streaking across the sky suddenly closed their eyes, pointed at those blue parabolas, and exclaimed with fear in their voices: "What is that?"
"It's the frost arrows thrown by the frost trebuchet. Everyone should return to the city to take shelter immediately." The idlers in Wenling immediately shouted loudly.
"withdraw."
Wenling Xianren's order represents the decision of the entire Dawn Guild's senior leadership. As the commander-in-chief of the national war and the deputy leader of the guild, it is impossible for anyone to doubt the authority of his words. With this order, except for the player responsible for controlling the trebuchet, everyone else will immediately Under the leadership of their respective legion commanders, they evacuated to the bottom of the city wall.
The next moment, the ammunition fired by the flame trebuchet exploded into a sea of fire outside the city, burning countless players responsible for controlling the trebuchet and dozens of frost trebuchets. At the same time, those blue meteors fell one after another within the city wall. , bursting into clusters of snow-white ice flowers.
The city wall immediately turned into a world of ice and snow. Damage numbers continued to float from the city wall. The screams from the players' mouths were mixed with the sounds of trebuchets falling apart and collapsing.
In the first round of confrontation, more than 20 flame trebuchets were destroyed. Thousands of players responsible for controlling the trebuchets and those who had not yet had time to evacuate died, resulting in heavy losses.
Players who were hit by the frost trebuchet and survived by chance were affected by the frost slowdown, and their movements immediately became stiff.
However, looking from the city wall, it can be seen that the losses suffered by the Japanese outside the city are not small.
"A few hundred more warriors will come on top." Ye Ming shouted loudly.
Immediately, four to five hundred warriors turned around and rushed up the city wall again. They quickly dispersed and replaced their fallen companions, and continued to control the trebuchets to fight.
The flame trebuchet does not require manpower to fill ammunition, and there is no ready-made ammunition to fill it. It can only be automatically generated. The time to generate ammunition is 60 seconds, so after an attack, you need to wait 60 seconds before attacking again.
Fortunately, although the shogunate's frost trebuchet is one level higher than the flame trebuchet, it also takes a certain amount of time to generate ammunition.
After a round of attacks, the big weapons of both the enemy and ours were temporarily silenced. The Japanese also brought a lot of enhanced trebuchets this time. However, since the range is only 600 yards, they cannot attack the city wall area from their current position. If we continue to move forward, it will be too dangerous. Tanigawa Eiji seems not to want to take such a big risk for the time being.
However, due to the condescension of the Dawn Guild and the Thunder Guild, the range of the trebuchets was increased by 20%, and the enhanced trebuchets erected on the city walls could still continue to attack.
With the skillful operation of each strong warrior player, the sound of machine reeds and zithers sounded again on the city wall, and rows of black arrows hit the Japanese trebuchet camp in thousands of parabolas.
