With a loud noise, the trebuchet in the Northern Barbarian battle formation threw a huge stone, but the distance was not calculated very well. It did not hit the city wall or fly into the city. It just landed on the hillside and smashed out a big stone.
Pit, dusty.
The players were a little panicked.
"What? The demon actually has a catapult? That's not fair!"
"Yeah, we haven't unlocked this technology yet!"
"It's so far away, we can't fight back..."
Players are all a bit confused.
At this time, they could only watch helplessly as the demon controlled the Northern Barbarian soldiers to throw stones into the city with catapults, without any means of countermeasures, because they did not have any equipment that could hit such a distance.
But soon, the players felt relieved and praised the construction players headed by Li Weiyi for their foresight.
Because of the change in terrain, the threat of catapults to the city has been greatly reduced!
The first stone did not hit the city wall, but fell on the hillside. This was not an accident.
Soon, several trebuchets on the barbarian side threw stones one after another, but except for a small stone that hit the city wall, the other stones fell on the hillside, failing to pose any threat to the players.
As for the stone that hit the city wall, it only made a muffled sound and caused stone fragments to fly.
Some players hurriedly poked their heads out of the city wall to check the hit area, and found that only a shallow mark was left, and there was no serious problem at all.
As for the oil barrels thrown over, they basically failed to hit the key targets. However, many oil barrels fell under the city and burned brightly, which instead caused obstacles to the barbarians who were preparing to attack the city.
This is obviously due to the terrain.
Under the suggestion of Li Weiyi and other construction bosses, although the players were heartbroken, they still agreed to spend a lot of precious construction value to change the terrain of the entire Orderer fortress.
When the barbarian soldiers attacked the city, they attacked from above, and the trebuchets were thrown from the bottom up, which greatly reduced the power.
Those heavy stones couldn't fly so high, so they had already landed before they touched the city wall. They just hit the ground outside the city and had no effect at all. And even if the slightly smaller stones hit the city wall by chance,
, and cannot cause serious damage.
After all, this city wall was built by players with a lot of construction value, without any cutting corners, and it is extremely strong.
What if you didn't spend a lot of construction value in advance to change the terrain of the entire Orderer citadel?
So even if the city wall is built twice as long as it is now, even if the second outer city wall is built, it is impossible to have such a good defensive effect.
Because there is no terrain gap, the trebuchet can completely attack the city over the city wall, and the huge stones falling from the sky may also cause damage to the city wall, causing huge difficulties to the players' defense.
And if it is on flat ground, those oil barrels are more likely to fall into the city and city walls. Once they catch fire, they will ignite the buildings in the city or the rolling logs on the city that are prepared for defense, with disastrous consequences.
In short, the choice of professionals is indeed the right one!
The players couldn't help but feel boosted in morale. Even before the battle officially started, they already had the upper hand psychologically.
The barbarian army was approaching quickly, with heavy cavalry charging in front, light cavalry following closely behind, and then followed by infantry carrying ladders and pushing siege rams.
After approaching the city wall, these northern barbarian light cavalry took off their hard bows, stretched their bows and nocked arrows, intending to shoot at the city.
The monster's style of play is quite luxurious. Heavy cavalry is the most valuable asset in the entire army, but at this time, the monster completely uses them as human shields and cannon fodder, creating opportunities for the infantry behind them to board the city.
Of course, the players in the city will not be used to these monsters.
Since you are cannon fodder, be prepared to face the fate of cannon fodder!
The two captains were each responsible for the defense of one side of the west gate. After the barbarians entered the attack range, they waved their hands in a tacit understanding and ordered the players to launch a counterattack.
"Fire the arrow!
"Get ready to roll the logs!"
The warriors hidden behind the arrow stacks on the city wall unfurled their bows and arrows in unison and shot at the barbarians below.
In an instant, arrows rained down!
These are mainly the default conventional arrows, but also mixed with powerful special arrows, such as armor-piercing arrows, rockets, etc.
Unlike real archers in history, players have unlimited access to basic weapons.
For example, basic waist knives, spears, shields, bows and arrows, etc. are all available for unlimited use.
Therefore, players do not need to cherish arrows at all. Regular arrows can be used casually and are inexhaustible.
Of course, these things will actually consume a little bit of the power of the Orderer, but for Meng Yuan, this consumption is simply insignificant, so he simply opens up the supply without any restrictions on players.
However, the supply of upgraded weapons is not unlimited.
At present, many players have switched to advanced versions of weapons, such as more sophisticated spears, armors, bows and arrows, etc. These weapons cannot be used without restrictions.
Among the arrows, there are also special arrows such as armor-piercing arrows and rockets. They are all bought with real money and silver from the blacksmith shop. The quantity is limited and the price is high.
But there are still many players who use these special arrows as soon as they start. The reason is very simple: there are rewards for killing enemies.
After the war, not only can you receive bounties in the game based on your beheading data, but when the new movie makes money and the box office is divided, the contribution value will also affect the amount of money divided.
Therefore, if these special arrows are not used now, when will they be used?
Although it is expensive, as long as you can kill the enemy, you can make the money back.
An overwhelming rain of arrows fell on the bandits, and the first ones to bear the brunt were the heavy cavalry rushing in front.
These heavy cavalry were covered in armor from top to bottom, and even the war horses were tightly wrapped. Although arrows kept falling on them, they failed to penetrate the heavy armor.
A few unlucky ones happened to be shot into the gaps in the armor by arrows, or were hit by armor-piercing arrows, rockets and other special arrows, and became the first wave of cannon fodder to be cleared.
But since the number of special arrows was very small after all, the other heavy cavalry continued to move forward without any stagnation.
But the light cavalry following these heavy cavalry were not so comfortable.
The light cavalry only wore helmets and no armor at all. Many unlucky light cavalry were directly shot into hedgehogs by both their men and their horses. They fell to the ground and never got up again.
These light cavalry also immediately raised their bows and arrows to fight back, but after the arrows were shot, they found that it was of no avail.
Because they were attacking from above, shooting low and high, the range of the arrows was already quite different. In addition, the players on the tower relied on arrow stacks to shoot and were well hidden, so the counterattacks of these light cavalry had no effect at all. It had too great an effect.
However, the charge of the heavy cavalry and light cavalry did attract firepower for the infantry. Some infantrymen were already carrying ladders and braving the rain of arrows, following the cavalry, waiting to use the ladders to attack the city as soon as possible.
"Put the log in!"
The players on the city worked together to push the rolling log down the city wall.
"Boom!"
The thick rolling wood rolled down from the city wall and hit the ground heavily, but it was not over yet, because although the terrain of the west gate was relatively gentle compared to the south, east, north, and south sides, it still had an obvious slope.
After the rolling log landed, it rolled down the slope.
The heavy cavalry of the barbarian soldiers were charging. When they saw the rolling wood, they had no time to dodge, and they directly ran into it with both men and horses!
When people fly, horses also fly.
Although these cavalry were wearing heavy armor, they could not resist the impact of the rolling logs. They were like a well-sealed can. A cut with a knife would cause minimal damage, but a blow with a blunt instrument could directly cause internal injuries.
Looking down from the city, the place where the wooden log rolls is like a barber's clipper pushing over the customer's head, which is very relaxing.
But after all, these barbarian soldiers are controlled by demons and have no idea what fear and retreat are.
Relying on the numerical advantage, they were able to force their way to the bottom of the city wall.
There was a "click" sound, and a ladder was already erected on the city wall.
Due to the terrain, the city walls on the north, south, south, and east sides of the Fortress of the Orderer are extremely high, making it impossible to reach them with ladders. The west side is the only place where ladders can be used to attack.
Many barbarian soldiers immediately climbed up the ladder and tried to climb the city.
Arrows were still coming like raindrops, but many barbarian soldiers climbed up the ladders with shields in hand to block the arrows.
However, just when some barbarian soldiers thought they were about to successfully scale the city wall, they saw that the defenders had some new tricks in their hands.
Stones fell violently!
These barbarian soldiers were on the ladder and could not dodge at all. They could only subconsciously raise the shield in their hands to resist, but in the end they could only be hit by rocks, and the barbarian soldiers below who were trying to climb the ladder also fell together. Going down, it's like skewering candied haws on a stick.
Not only that, these stones retained their power after falling to the ground, and even hit the thieves on the ground who were preparing to attack.
In an instant, blood flew everywhere, and the sound of broken bones could be heard.
Some barbarian soldiers fell to the ground, and the hands holding their shields were completely bent and deformed. However, they did not die because they had been enhanced by the power of demons and their vitality was very tenacious.
Soon, these barbarian soldiers who were hit by stones realized that they were lucky.
Because some other barbarian soldiers were even worse. As soon as they climbed halfway, the defenders on the city had already thrown down a round iron ball with a burning lead!
There was a loud "boom", and the sky-shaking thunder exploded in the dense area of the barbarian soldiers!
In the thick smoke, the huge power generated by the gunpowder explosion blew up the pig iron fragments. These thieves had no time to react before they were cut to pieces by the fragments.
All the barbarian soldiers near Zhentian Lei were blown to pieces!
The players who were in an advantageous position faced the barbarian soldiers who had an absolute advantage in numbers, but they did not feel any pressure at all. Instead, they felt indescribably relaxed and relaxed.
Many players who have newly qualified for the closed beta will participate in the Orderer Expedition for the first time.
They were still a little nervous at first, but at this time, the nervousness had completely disappeared and was replaced by excitement.
