Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh shame and courage
Huge arrows continued to hit the Japanese trebuchet camp, and the ground continued to tremble as the boulders continued to fall. The boulders hit the players responsible for operating the trebuchets, and broken limbs flew everywhere, making the scene unbearable. ..read the book, read the book
The enhanced trebuchet, which also has a maximum range of 600 yards on flat ground, fills the time gap left by the flame trebuchet when it refreshes its ammunition, allowing the ultra-long-range attacks on the east gate wall to continue to explode.
With a loud "bang.", a huge arrow hit the curved beam of a frost trebuchet without hesitation. The huge force caused the trebuchet to tremble violently, and the frame parts emitted a loud noise. "Crunch." sound.
However, after being bombarded by a arrow in the front, the durability of the Frost Trebuchet was only reduced by 20. The craftsman player next to it immediately repaired it and quickly restored the durability of the trebuchet to 100%.
Zeng Jun's body was suspended above the east gate city wall, looking at the rows of frost trebuchets in front of the Japanese cavalry camp, with a solemn expression on his face. The frost trebuchets' armor was too high, and they were hit by arrows in the front. It takes at least five consecutive hits from arrows to destroy a frost trebuchet. This is definitely not good news for the players responsible for defending the city.
Although the attack power of the stone projectiles thrown by these ordinary trebuchets is not high, the attack speed is fast. Two skilled operators can launch a stone projectile in an average of 12 seconds. The attack speed is five times that of the flame trebuchet, because The density of attacks is high enough, and it is also a super long-range attack force that cannot be ignored.
With the acquiescence of the idle people in Wenling, hundreds of reinforced trebuchets roared non-stop, drawing thousands of wonderful parabolas in the sky.
In less than a minute, the frost trebuchets outside the city roared again, and the second wave of dense blue meteor showers hit the city wall area again. The entire east gate city wall once again turned into a sea of ice, and at the same time, the Chinese area once again More than a dozen flame trebuchets and nearly a thousand warrior players were lost.
The level of the siege machinery is one level higher, and it is indeed much more powerful. Not only does the attack range extend by 100 yards, but the ammunition refresh time is only 45 seconds. These two advantages make up for the challenges faced by the Japanese as attackers. Disadvantages.
...Unconsciously, the trebuchets from both sides have been roaring continuously inside and outside the city wall for more than an hour. During this more than an hour of indiscriminate bombardment, the entire east gate city wall was left with countless mottled marks by the frost trebuchets. The city walls in many places even had cracks as wide as the width of a hand, and the damage to the city walls was very serious.
The trebuchets placed on the city wall suffered a heavier blow during this period. In particular, the flame trebuchet that the Dawn Guild was most proud of was the most severely damaged. Of the more than 300 flame trebuchets that were put into battle, only the remaining It can still work after less than 50 aircraft have been loaded.
Of course, the Japanese are not having a hard time either. The number of Frost Trebuchets that Eiji Tanigawa regards as his super-long-range trump card will never exceed 50.
The battles in the other three directions were basically the same as the battle at the East Gate. The fronts that the unions were responsible for, such as Zui Xiaoyao, Decisive Battle and Murderous Demon, had no substantive contact for more than an hour before the war started. , everyone just relies on remote construction machinery for bombardment.
Of course, due to the three national servers currently participating in the war, except for the two guilds of Chenxi and Shogun, which have advanced items such as flame trebuchets and frost trebuchets, the other guilds are still using ordinary trebuchets for bombardment, and the scene looks worse than The east gate side is much smaller.
After the trebuchets were fired, Tanigawa Eiji finally decided to send out heavy armored cavalry for a frontal charge against the city wall.
Accompanied by the feeble sound of the last forty or fifty frost trebuchets, the armored heavy cavalry all over the mountains and plains began to move slowly, and then they attacked the east gate city wall like a tide, and the sound of heavy iron hoofs rumbled loudly. The entire city of cherry blossoms was completely drowned out by the roar of the trebuchet.
"All the long-distance soldiers are back on the city wall, and the enemy's cavalry has begun to charge." Wenling idlers shouted loudly.
"The cavalry followed me out of the city and set up defenses within 40 yards of the city wall. No one is allowed to leave the 40-yard area of the city wall. Violators will be punished." In order to better command the cavalry troops, Wen Meng gave up fighting side by side with the empty cavalry. Taking the opportunity, he led the ground cavalry, mainly the Scorpion Tiger Cavalry, out of the city to fight.
The heavy city gate slowly rose, and Wen Meng rushed out first, followed by a large number of scorpion and tiger cavalry.
In the first cavalry confrontation, the Wenling idlers only sent out the Scorpion Tiger Cavalry, Clouded Leopard Cavalry, Frost Wolf Cavalry and some other miscellaneous cavalry from the Dawn Guild, and they were temporarily left in the city. The cavalry from the Thunder Guild and several other small and medium-sized guilds also did not leave the city.
The heavy armored cavalry wearing thick horse armor came over the east gate city wall like a tide. The momentum was very huge. Hundreds of ordinary trebuchets that the craftsmen and players nervously assembled also began to roar crazily, throwing heavy trebuchets one after another. Yaishi.
Nowadays, ordinary trebuchets have been gradually eliminated. Guilds like Dawn and Decisive Battle no longer produce this kind of machinery. However, there are still some stocks in the warehouse that have survived previous wars, and those small and medium-sized guilds still use this kind of machinery. Ordinary goods are valuable, so it is not too difficult to pull out hundreds of these ordinary trebuchets in a war.
With the roar of the trebuchet, black arrows rained down on the cavalry square outside the city.
"Bang bang bang." The dull sounds of huge rocks hitting the ground came one after another. The huge stones fell from the heads of the heavy armored cavalry. With a "boom.", they shattered into several pieces and dozens of small stones. piece.
Following the whine of their mounts, the heavily armored cavalry who had been hit rushed out of the rubble with their mounts, and their health and vitality were even saved by half.
"Oh no, the defense of the heavy armored cavalry is too abnormal. The arrows thrown by ordinary trebuchets can't kill them." On the city wall, the leader of a small guild said with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.
The real scene is a heavy blow to those small and medium-sized guild leaders and players who regard ordinary trebuchets as their treasures. Those trebuchets that they regard as great weapons can only hit other people's cavalry head-on. If you lose half of your health and fight against such a cavalry alone, you're still in trouble.
"There's nothing strange about this. If these arrows hit my air cavalry members, they would probably only lose about 20% of their health. Ordinary trebuchets have basically been eliminated." Zeng Jun's words were very shocking, but they were indeed The truth.
"What you say hurts people's self-esteem too much. That little guild leader's guild just researched the design of the trebuchet this week. Before he had time to be happy, he was hit by you like this." Binglan secretly sent a message to Zeng Jun. , remind him not to speak so directly in the future.
Zeng Jun immediately defended: "Know your shame and then be brave. I am doing this for their own good. If you are complacent after getting a few ordinary trebuchets, you will be eliminated from modern warfare sooner or later."
"Don't even think about the actual situation. If every guild had the strength of us and the decisive battle, wouldn't China be invincible?"
Zeng Jun thought about it, yes, people are divided into high and low, and guilds are also divided into strong and weak. I usually wish that every guild would be weak and run away after being scared by me, but now during the national war, I hope that everyone will be among the kings. Teacher, there is no such truth.
The Japanese heavy armored cavalry braved the sky full of arrows and stones, and successfully broke through the fire blockade of ordinary trebuchet structures at a very small cost, and entered within the shortest range of the trebuchet.
Although the mounts of the heavy armored cavalry are all covered with heavy horse armor, they are still very fast.
After a while, the crossbows in the city's arrow tower began to move. With the roar of the crossbows, thick steel arrows formed a dense rain of arrows and tilted towards the outside of the city.
Bang bang bang.
The thick crossbow arrows hit the heavily armored cavalry one after another, leaving sparks on the armor of the knights and mounts, and also causing a series of damage figures.
In order to ensure a fast charging speed, Japan sent a pure cavalry charge this time, without the healing support of priests. After a round of trebuchets, many knights had not had time to recover before they encountered another attack. Intense firing of crossbow arrows.
"Ahhhh."
With screams one after another, cavalrymen fell off their horses and died. The corpses were instantly trampled into flesh by the heavy iron hooves of their companions who came up from behind, and mixed with the grass on the ground and the moist soil mixed with blood. Together, and then kept flying with the flying of horse hooves... Under the intensive crossbow attack from the arrow tower, the number of Japanese heavy armored cavalry killed was obviously much more than before. It was not because the attack from the arrow tower was more powerful than the trebuchet. Powerful, but because these cavalrymen had been baptized by trebuchets, and a lot of their energy and blood had been consumed. Now they were once again intensively attacked by crossbows, and they finally couldn't hold on and fell off their horses.
About 20% of the cavalry were lost under the heavy rain of crossbow attacks. This did not move the Japanese players, at least not their commanders. The tide of heavy armored cavalry was still rushing towards the east gate city wall with unnecessary bravery. Rushed over.
"Archer, projectile attack." God's Demonic Shang roared, taking the lead and tilting the longbow upward at 45 degrees to project.
Dense rain of arrows poured out like locusts toward the cavalry camp that was running wildly outside the city. However, when those arrows hit the cavalry, most of them were bounced away, leaving everyone in tears. In terms of damage figures, only a small number of arrows shot by high-level archers can penetrate the armor of knights and horses and cause substantial damage.
"The heavy armored cavalry produced at the training ground are indeed powerful. Sisters, let them taste the power of the mages trained by us in the magic tower." Bing Lan pointed the space battle in his hand towards the city and shouted loudly.
