The crossbow is fixed on top of the city. Although there is a shaft at the bottom to rotate the shooting angle, it still has a large attack blind spot.
Crossbow arrows were originally used to defend against large siege weapons such as rams and catapults. Facing such a dense crowd of players, such powerful weapons were as powerful as cannons against mosquitoes.
There are simply too many players in the coalition.
Even under the most ideal situation, the crossbow arrows can string together several players like a gourd and kill them instantly. Compared with the flood of players under the city wall, this is just a drop in the bucket.
But apart from the machine crossbows, the volleys fired by the city's archers were somewhat ineffective on the part of the players on the opposite side.
Although players' discipline is average, their individual combat effectiveness is stronger than that of most NPC soldiers. Moreover, due to the opening of the dungeon system, they are more or less equipped with armor, and their resistance to bows and arrows is very high.
Although various traps on the ground posed a certain threat to the charging players, they were eventually eliminated by Sun Jianjun with his life.
The ladder is indestructible - this is the setting of the game. Otherwise, all it takes is a few elite warriors on top of the city to push the ladder away, and the dozens of feet of city wall will become an insurmountable gap.
As for games, after all, you still have to give siege players a way to survive, otherwise they will just be fooled.
"GKD! Go up the ladder and be quick in front!"
"Damn it, don't mess with the people behind you! Be careful, I'll report you for harassment!"
"Bibi, crawl for me!"
"Maomaocha, workers are so afraid of heights! Don't squeeze in the back, they will fall... ah..."
The ladder leads directly to the top of the city. Although it is invulnerable to water and fire in the game's settings, it is essentially just a very long bamboo ladder that only allows players to climb up in order. If the players above are making more noise,
It may even sway and make a harsh friction sound.
Then I saw a group of Sun Jianjun players clinging to the ladder on the city wall. From a distance, they looked like a long worm crawling upwards along the city wall. From time to time, some people slipped and fell to the street while climbing.
There was a chirp and then there was no sound.
"Replace armor-piercing arrows! Fire!"
The enemy army was approaching fiercely, but Hua Xiong did not panic at all. He waved his hand, and the archers who were originally shooting at the distance were replaced with specially-made armor-piercing arrows, and they fired at the players on the ladder.
Round salvo.
The ladder is indestructible, but the players on it are not.
Crossbows have an attack blind spot, but archers do not.
The specially-made arrows can easily tear apart armor defenses below Excellent level. Even if it is Excellent level or Epic level, it cannot reduce all damage.
Hua Xiong also spent a lot of money.
Armor-piercing arrows were expensive to make, and even Dong Zhuojun had limited rations.
It is naturally wasteful to use armor-piercing arrows to suppress the attack, but now that the situation is imminent and the army is approaching the city in a real sense, there is no need to worry about so much.
On the fourth day of the disaster, there was no formation of soldiers with swords and shields in hand, so things like ladders were naturally first come, first served - especially when a few light weapon players relied on their quick legs to crawl in front of the attacker.
The city is at the forefront of everyone.
Now he has become a living target.
What's worse is that when the player dies, he will disappear. Arrows fired from behind will never have the risk of hitting the corpse. They can directly hit the person behind without any waste of output.
There is still no progress in the siege - to be precise, there is no chance to even rush to the top of the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
Under the command of Hua Xiong, the players on the top of the city only need to play like whack-a-mole and kill the fish that still climb up to the top of the city under the volley of fire - the player Sun Jianjun just saw that
As soon as they appeared, several weapons were used to chop off their heads, and most of them turned into white light without even being able to hum.
So far, there is still no player who has successfully gained a foothold in the city.

"Child Sun Jian! Is this all you can do?"
The battle went smoother than expected.
I saw Hua Xiong standing at the top of the city, raising an internationally recognized gesture towards Sun Jian in the distance, and shouting provocation.
"Thieves will stop being so rampant! Huang Gong is coming again!"
What he responded to was a loud and rude shout.
"Damn it, what the hell is that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sharp-eyed players on top of the city noticed that a line of smoke came from Sun Jian's formation and approached the city wall at an extremely fast speed.
Looking closely, he saw a middle-aged man who was more than ten feet tall. Half of his face was covered by a short beard. His hair was not long and tied into a bun at the back of his head. His whole body was bulging with explosive muscles.
It actually held up all the armor on his body.
The most exaggerated thing was the weapon in his hand - he was holding an iron boat of more than two feet diagonally, but it was used as a giant shield to resist the incoming arrows. Even the crossbow bolts were blocked.
Easily blocked.
The person who came was none other than Huang Gai, the strongest horseman under Sun Jian's command.
"Damn it, big brother is one of his own!"
"Yao Shou! A friendly NPC was stabbed in the back! Is there anyone in charge?!"
Huang Gai is huge, and when he charges, he is as unstoppable as a speeding truck.
Whether it was a trap or a horse, even the friendly players who were blocking the way were all knocked away, and they rushed directly to the top of the city along a ladder erected.
In contrast, player Sun Jianjun, who was trying to climb forward on the ladder, fell directly to the ground like a bowling ball that was knocked away. It was just good luck. There were a few who were particularly unlucky and fell directly to the ground.
When his head hit the ground, it turned into white light on the spot.
Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with cordial and friendly greetings to the female relatives of Huang Gai's family.
"Boom!"
Huang Gai's figure remained strong, and he collided head-on with a crossbow. With his flesh and blood, the crossbow was smashed into pieces. Even the arrow next to him was being cocked.
The two unlucky players were both knocked dozens of feet away by this huge force, and turned into white light before they even landed.
It's not over yet.
Huang Gai laughed loudly and waved the iron boat in his hand, causing bursts of sound to break through the air.
This iron boat is so powerful and heavy that wherever it goes, no matter whether it is the players, NPC archers or the crossbow equipment, there is no enemy. It means that you will die if you touch it.
Unexpectedly, the iron boat was wide and large, and its attack range almost covered the entire city of Sishui Pass.
As we said before, "Wushuang" is a game that places great emphasis on personal heroism.
Huang Gai was like a bulldozer, moving the iron boat in his hand all the way. With the power of one person, he turned the guards of Sishui Pass upside down.
"when!"
A long knife held the iron boat that Huang Gai was wielding.
Hua Xiong finally took action.
Hua Xiong used a long-handled broadsword. After all, he was the boss who killed the unparalleled general Pan Feng with a few blows. Hua Xiong's force was quite powerful.
I saw that his sword was fierce, slashing towards Huang Gai's vitals.
But it's of no use.
Huang Gai's weapon, the iron boat, was a huge tower shield. Although he was unable to counterattack under the fierce offensive, no matter how Hua Xiong attacked, it remained as immovable as a rock beaten by waves.
"Hahaha, come on, attack me with all your strength!"
"Didn't you eat? Brother!"
Even Huang Gai still had the energy to spout trash talk and provoke Hua Xiong.
After being unable to attack for a long time, Hua Xiong finally became angry.
"Why are you all standing there! Attack me! Kill this garrulous old man!"
