More than 100,000 players quickly bypassed the Xixia counterattack army. After waiting for the Xixia army to leave, the players quickly arrived at the border pass. This pass did not exist in the era of the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and
After the Xixia people took control of the eastern part of the Western Region, in order to prevent players from attacking, they built a pass based on a fortress. It was also because of this fortress that the Xixia people were able to firmly block the players.
When building this pass, the Xixia people built it completely according to the fortress. It can be said that everything is for defense. A small fortress, its walls are comparable to the walls of the main city. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although here
There are currently only 10,000 Xixia border guards, but it will still be very difficult to attack here.
Zeng Yi and others arrived near the fortress and did not launch an attack directly. On the one hand, they had not yet figured out how to attack. A head-on attack on a fortress of this level would cause huge casualties. On the other hand, the Xixia counterattack army did not
Before they get far, everyone is afraid that the other party will receive the news and fight back. If that happens, the players may face being attacked from both sides.
More than 100,000 players are hiding near the fortress. While waiting for the Xixia counterattack army to go away, Zeng Yi and others are studying how to attack this fortress. Zeng Yi and several first-class experts have already investigated the basic pass of this fortress.
, and according to the intelligence from the pro-military Captain's Mansion, Zeng Yi and the others knew this pass and each room very well, but it was precisely because of their understanding that Zeng Yi and the others were so worried.
The Xixia people actually built this pass based on the bastion. The bastion is a type of ancient fortress. Its essence is to change the city from a convex polygon to a concave polygon. Such an improvement makes it possible to attack any point in the castle.
It will expose the attacker to more than one bastion face, usually - one, and the defender can use crossfire to carry out multiple strikes. The simplest and typical example is the five-pointed star fortress. No matter which face the enemy attacks, they will suffer two
Compared with ordinary fortresses, bastion fortresses usually have taller walls and are reinforced with stones or bricks, and some towers or horse walls are also installed to obtain additional firepower output.
"Everyone understands the situation. This pass fortress can be said to be the Xixia people's biggest support in controlling the eastern region of the Western Region. Everyone has a basic understanding of the defense of the fortress. I wonder if you have any good methods to capture this
A fortress?" Zeng Yi looked at the vice presidents of various major guilds.
After a long silence, one of them said: "Is the bastion really that powerful? We are ten times the enemy. Isn't it possible to capture it from the front?"
"You saw this fortress just now. The walls are so tall that except for top-notch players like us, other players can't get up at all. Even if they use flying claws to face the bastion, the effect will be greatly reduced. No matter who attacks the bastion.
All sides will be covered by enemy bows and arrows from other directions! Even if we try hard to capture this fortress in the end, how many people do you think we can have left?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, "If it doesn't work out, we might as well give up this fortress and choose a pass that is easy to break through. There is more than just this pass on the border!"
Zeng Yi smiled helplessly, "Everyone, we are not just selling it all at once. We want to occupy and control the eastern part of the Western Region for a long time. This fortress is in a key position. If we don't take it, wait for the Xixia people to come back, what do you think, players?"
Can you still control this area?"
"Is there no way to deal with the bastion?
"Yes, super firepower suppression, directly crushing with strength. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing. There is also a heavy siege. Although the bastion is powerful, it will not cost a lot to build, and there is no way.
The construction of large cities and bastions is all for the needs of war. Materials and other things are all dependent on supplies. After besieging it for three to five months, it will basically collapse internally! However... these two points do not apply to us.
, We can’t even match the Xixia people’s firepower, let alone suppress it, and we don’t have that time to besieged!”
After studying for a while, they couldn't come up with a solution. Everyone fell silent again. At this time, the fourth child frowned and said: "Although the defense of the bastion is strong, it is only for external use. If there is a problem inside it, it can be
Not necessarily."
"you mean?"
"This bastion originally had more than 30,000 Xixia frontier troops, but now 20,000 have been transferred away. Let's talk about personnel first. The other side is somewhat short of it, and its interior will definitely relax its vigilance. There are also supplies. The other side has so many personnel and supplies.
It will be very huge. If you destroy the other party's supplies, how long can the other party hold on?"
"You mean to send a team of experts to sneak into the fortress and destroy the enemy's supplies? However, it is not that easy to sneak into the bastion!" According to the observations of Zeng Yi and others, almost every ridge of the bastion has
There are arrow towers, and it is very difficult to sneak into them quietly, let alone a team of people.
"The other side is tightly defended, so we can only lure the snake out of its hole. We might as well send out a small group of troops at night to attract the other side to pursue us. As long as the other side sends troops, its personnel will be further shorted. As long as we seize the other side's loopholes and sneak in for dozens of
A top-notch expert, there should be no problem!"
Although the fourth method is simple, there is currently no other good way, so we can only give it a try. Zeng Yi looked at everyone and said: "Since we have no other way for the time being, let's follow this method.
! Take action tonight!”
The most important step in Laosi's method is to lure the snake out of the hole. If the enemy doesn't leave the city to pursue him, then it's useless to say anything. But if you want to lure the snake out of the hole, the bait cannot be too many. If there are too many people, the opponent will not dare to leave the city. If the number is small, the opponent will leave the city.
There were too few pursuers and it would be ineffective. After everyone discussed for a while, they felt that the number of people should be controlled to less than 5,000.
The baits were quickly picked out. These players were all good players. After all, as a bait, the most important thing is to run fast. If you run slow and someone catches up, it will be difficult.
Time soon came to night, and a few sharp-tongued players, with more than 4,000 people, rushed to the fortress city in a swagger. At first, the Xixia people discovered the player team. As if facing a powerful enemy, the defenders of the fortress were all fully armed and ready.
, but when the player launched the upward attack, the Xixia people relaxed their vigilance a little, and even felt a little funny that less than 5,000 people came in and had the courage to attack the bastion with more than 10,000 defenders! (To be continued)
