The next day, Fengxiang City Alliance mobilized 100,000 players. Under the leadership of Zeng Yi, they went straight to the Imperial City of the Persian Empire. In this attack, Zeng Yi not only brought the three bosses, but also the blood-clothed guards.
More than two thousand people.
Just looking at the apparent strength, the players led by Zeng Yi this time are actually very powerful. The four of Zeng Yi are all top-notch masters, as well as the heavy cavalry unit of the Blood-clothed Guards, plus an army of 100,000, the entire
There are only a few guilds in the game that can achieve this level of strength.
After the defense line in the core area of Persia was breached by players, the only obstacle between Fengxiang City and the Imperial City of Persia was a few ordinary fortresses on the way. However, these fortresses are all very ordinary small and medium-sized fortresses. Each fortress defends
The army only has 1,800 people. Although the defense system is relatively complete, not even the Persian Empire believes that these small fortresses can stop the enemy.
The Persian Empire did not invest any power in these fortresses. Instead, it concentrated all its power in the imperial city.
When the army reached the gates of several fortresses, the defenders of the fortresses had already lost their morale and had the intention of running away. It was easy for the players to capture these fortresses. They released the catapults and launched
After several rounds of attacks, under the leadership of dozens of top-notch experts, the players captured several fortresses with almost no casualties.
After taking these fortresses, the player is basically just a stone's throw away from the Persian Imperial City.
Originally, Zeng Yi thought that he might encounter some attacks from the Persian Empire along the way, such as harassment by guerrillas. In the past, when players faced the NPC army and were in a weak position, such methods were commonly used by players. For the sake of safety,
, every time the army stops to rest, Zeng Yi will carefully send out experts to patrol, and pay special attention to the protection of the food and grass that players eat, and even let the three bosses take turns to protect the food and grass. Although players can bring their own supplies, but the food and grass
Being destroyed will still have a great impact on players.
But I didn't expect that the journey would be very smooth. Not to mention the guerrillas, not even a shadow of the Persian army was seen. Even the three bosses said that the system master had changed his gender. Zeng Yi actually led the large army smoothly.
Arrive at the Persian Imperial City.
When they arrived at the Persian Imperial City, Zeng Yicai realized why there was no danger on the way. It was because the alliance that took the lead had already reached the Persian Imperial City and launched a tentative attack. The Persian Empire had already focused all its attention on
Being on a frontal battlefield, there is no time to do other things.
That alliance was the first to reach the gates of the Imperial City of the Persian Empire. They were very smart and gained the first-mover advantage and occupied the offensive area on the east wall of the Persian Imperial City. The player's forces were facing the east wall of the Persian Imperial City. For the player,
The east wall is the most comfortable attacking position.
However, the Persian Empire also knew this, and more defenders were deployed on the east wall. In Zeng Yi's opinion, the offensive area to the east of the Persian Imperial City was not actually the best place.
As expected by Zeng Yi, the alliance that took the lead in launching the attack caused a great sensation among the major guild alliances immediately after the action, and all major guild alliances were studying countermeasures.
However, these guilds were too slow in their research. Before they could decide whether to take action, the Fengxiang City Alliance also took action. Once the Fengxiang City Alliance took action, all the major guild alliances couldn't help it. They were not fools. Zeng
If Yi can figure out the problem of taking the initiative, other guild alliances can naturally think of it too.
The major guilds also sent their troops to attack the Persian Imperial City.
When Zeng Yi led his troops to the gates of the Persian Imperial City, the tens of thousands of defenders on the northern wall were already well prepared, and each one was on the alert, preparing for the enemy's attack.
Zeng Yi, however, only led the three bosses to the front line. After observing the defenders on the city wall, he withdrew directly.
"Boss Ni, should we make a tentative attack?" Several hall leaders from Fengyun Tianxia and Tianxiang Guild couldn't help but say when they saw Zeng Yi coming back.
Zeng Yi waved his hand, "What kind of fight are you going to fight? Let the brothers set up tents and set up the camp, then rest and fight all the way here. We are so tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"This...that's okay!"
The soldiers of the Persian Empire were highly concentrated and were waiting for the player to launch an attack. However, they did not expect that they started setting up camp a few miles away, with no intention of attacking at all.
In fact, when he first arrived, Zeng Yi also wanted to attack without probing, but after personally observing the defenses of the Persian Imperial City at the front, Zeng Yi gave up this plan.
The Persian Empire also spent a lot of money to build its home base. The city walls were extremely tall and thick, and they also combined the advantages of the city walls of the Central Plains and the advantages of the Persian Empire's rhombus. The essence of the rhombus was to transform the city from a convex polygon.
Into a concave polygon, such an improvement will make the attacking side exposed to more than one bastion face regardless of attacking any point of the castle, and the defending side can use cross fire to carry out multiple strikes. The walls of the fortress are built very high, and use
It is reinforced with stone or bricks, and some towers or horse faces are also set up to obtain additional firepower output.
Coupled with the densely packed ballistas, crossbows and other fire output points on the city wall, there are tens of thousands of Persian elite forbidden troops. Let alone a tentative attack, even if 100,000 people are thrown in, they may not be able to test anything.
Just as Zeng Yi thought, the alliance that struck first rushed forward and invested tens of thousands of troops in a tentative attack. As a result, they did not even touch the wall of the Persian Imperial City, and all the tens of thousands of troops died in the battle.
On the way to attack.
More than a dozen catapults were covered by the Persian Empire's ballistae and arrows before they could launch an attack. Even though the players tried their best to protect them, they still lost several catapults. This made the alliance very confused. Fortunately, they retreated in time, otherwise
Most of those catapults were probably left on the battlefield.
Faced with a defense system like the Persian Empire, Zeng Yi and the other four men concluded after some research that even if the players gathered millions of troops, it would be impossible to break through the Persian Imperial City in a short period of time.
This war will be a protracted war. Of course, Zeng Yi and others do not think that the players will fail. Although the Persian Empire's defenses are extremely powerful, as long as the fight continues, the players will lose little by little.
Grinding can also destroy all the Persian defenders. The player's troops will not be reduced. They can be replenished in a day or two at most if they die. As for the elite defenders of the Persian Empire, if one of them dies, one will be missing.
