Shadow's siege officially began, and huge burning fireballs fell from the sky like dense meteors in the dark night.
In China, large-scale battles like to be fought at night.
And all large-scale battles involving shadows are basically at night!
Because Qianshan Yueying is a man who is used to using conspiracy and tricks, he believes that at night, when people are most tired and when their defenses are most relaxed, the success rate of launching an attack will be higher at this time.
To put it more bluntly, at this time, all the office workers and student parties are asleep, because those who are supposed to work have to go to work the next day, and those who are supposed to go to school still have to go to school. This is the time when the guild can allocate the least number of people.
You can tell just by looking at the data on the battlefield.
The total number of people in Mingxiao is only 6,000, Countercurrent is 10,000, Qinggang is 11,000, Creation is more miserable and only has over 1,000 people, and the number of people gathered in the early stage of Killer Fairy Tale is only over 3,000, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be no more than 6,000 people.
.
This actually has a lot to do with the composition of each guild. Most of the idle workers in the Nishiliu and Qinggang societies have the lowest salary, so they don't care how much money will be deducted if they take a day off tomorrow.
In large-scale city battles and guild battles like this, wages are usually given to those who participate in the battle. If they win, they will be given double wages. Those who contribute more will receive higher bonuses.
Often the bonus from a city battle is enough for them to earn a day's salary, not to mention that sometimes there are double, triple or even ten times the bonus. Even if you only get one bonus, you still get points for participating in the resident battle.
Points are also a disguised form of bonus, which can be used to redeem items for money. Overall, the benefits are huge.
Of course, generally no gold is collected, gold coins are issued directly.
Each station will generate a certain amount of gold coins every day, which is used to pay wages to the guild. Of course, if you encounter some guild leaders who are enriching their own pockets, they may just pocket it themselves. This kind of thing is not impossible.
Happened.
In this regard, what super guilds do is relatively formal. After all, super guilds are backed by some real-life consortiums and may have a relatively clear financial management system.
On the other hand, fighting at night can also save a lot of personnel expenses!
The distraught girl, like a competent war reporter, just shouted: "They are starting to attack!" and the scene shook and moved outdoors.
Hesitating about the throwing angle of the catapult, so at this time a large number of players are hiding under the inner corners of the city wall, which is the place where the damage is lowest.
Of course, the magicians and archers will still be on guard on the tower.
After three rounds of attacks, Shadow began to dispatch ground attack troops.
Our players rushed over from the gravel high ground on ladders, while the extremely large truck behind them was also slowly moving forward, driven by the soldiers who were looking at it.
Catapults are still throwing boulders and oil bottles...
"Don't you make catapults?" Adam asked me curiously.
I chuckled and said, "That thing is too expensive! And it's too big and bulky. If there aren't a lot of them, it's basically just a target for the shadows, so forget it!"
Under such an intensive fire attack from the Shadow, the catapult is simply a showpiece and a complete waste of money.
We are all petty bourgeoisie and don’t have that much money to squander.
The boulders thrown by the shadows hit the tower, rolled over and fell into the city, crushing many people to death.
As for the oil bottles, they have begun to bloom everywhere, and there are half-sized flames everywhere in the fortress, with thick smoke billowing out.
The flame produced after the oil bottle bursts is not strong, but the smoke is extremely large.
"Damn it, Shadow invented the smoke bomb?" I shouted depressingly. This kind of scene would actually increase the pressure on the defenders in the city, and subconsciously give him the pessimistic idea of failure.
"Tsk, tsk, Shadow's siege offensive is really too strong! I can completely believe that he will advance directly into the city so unscrupulously!" Adam had to sigh.
It is true that no guild has been able to deploy as many siege equipment as Shadow during siege battles, none, so far, none.
Through the picture of the distraught girl, I saw that the archers on the tower had begun to fight back.
Each of the archers fully drew their long bows and threw them into the sky. Some archers with fast hands could even shoot two arrows in a row when others shot one.
As the shadow ground troops continued to approach, the mage team on the city tower also began to throw out the group killing magic they had prepared long ago, and began to try their best to stop them on a large scale.
And the shadow's chaplains also began to use their abilities, and streaks of holy white light fell from the sky, falling on the knights wearing heavy armor, and green numbers appeared one by one.
"Well, Shadow switched to Knight Charge this time and made a lot of progress!" I said calmly.
Adam looked at me in surprise, "Then what profession did they use to charge before?"
I smiled and said: "Reserve!"
The advantage of using a knight to charge is that the knight can attract and resist the archer's attack to the greatest extent, and the priest's close follow-up also ensures the knight's survival rate.
Just after the first wave of impact, the Shadow Knight Charge Corps had already transported the ladder to the wall of Patrick's Fortress.
Here they will be baptized by mages from above. This is the time when their knights will be truly tested.
At this time, the mages on the tower rarely use single-target magic, because in that case, the dps output will be too little.
Facing a flood of opponents, the effect of single-target magic is really limited.
However, the damage caused by group magic is not as high as that of single-target magic. If it cannot be killed instantly, it may be rescued by the opponent's priest.
This is a battle of numbers and equipment.
After all, the width of the city wall is limited, and there are only so many people that can be accommodated. However, Shadow chose to attack from the south and concentrated its superior forces here to ensure that the first charge could kill the city wall.
"The limitations of the Qinggang are beginning to show up!" Adam said thoughtfully beside me, "The range arranged on a section of the city tower is limited. If these ranges cannot effectively deal with the knights corresponding to the section...
"
"Then they have a chance to climb up!" I continued what he said.
This is the fact that the Qinggang's long-range power is obviously not as good as the Dawn.
The long-range DPS on the city wall cannot effectively destroy the shadow knights under the city wall, which gives them the opportunity to set up the ladder.
And some knights were already running up with their shields against the arrows and magic falling from above. The chaplains who accompanied the army stood at the extreme distance and frantically replenished the blood of these knights who climbed up the ladder to ensure that they would not die.
Got killed.
The battle at the scene can be said to be quite fierce. It can also be said that Shadow's attack was well planned. In the first wave of attacks, they had successfully set up a small number of ladders and started climbing the ladder.
