"Don't take it lightly, those heavy cavalry are difficult to deal with and are about to attack the city!" shouted a captain.
Although the rolling wood and stones were obviously lethal to the barbarians who climbed the ladder to the city, they were not that fast to move. After the first round of rolling wood and stones was consumed, there was a short gap period.
The barbarian soldiers were still climbing up the ladder one after another, trying to board the city.
Among these barbarians, the heavy cavalry are particularly troublesome.
After they rushed to the city, they immediately dismounted and tried to board the city like infantry.
But they are obviously different from infantry.
These heavy cavalry are the elite of the barbarian soldiers, and their physical fitness is much stronger than that of the infantry. Coupled with the increase in demon power, all attributes have been comprehensively improved.
Moreover, they hold shields and wear heavy armor, so ordinary arrows cannot do anything to them.
During the intervals between rolling logs and rocks, these heavy cavalry climbed up quickly.
"Let us deal with those barbarian soldiers!"
Li Hongyun shouted while aiming the matchlock gun at the climbing heavy cavalry.
"boom!"
There was a gunshot and smoke filled the air.
The projectile came out of the barrel and accurately hit a heavy cavalryman who was climbing up at an extremely fast speed.
The armor that can protect against arrows has no protective effect at all when faced with projectiles, and is directly penetrated!
Not only that, fragments of the armor also penetrated the body, causing secondary damage.
The heavy cavalryman could no longer hold on to the ladder and fell directly.
Not only Li Hongyun, but other players who had been assigned blunderbuss and matchlock guns also opened fire one after another, so that the heavy armored cavalry who wanted to board the city would have a good experience of what it meant to say "Sir, times have changed."
Although their accuracy is not as accurate as that of Li Hongyun, as long as these heavy cavalry are allowed to climb up some distance before firing, the hit rate can be greatly improved.
Players in the first row immediately retreated and reloaded after firing, while players in the second row stepped on top, while players in the third row continued to stand by.
This three-stage attack tactic was invented to solve the problem of slow reloading of muskets. Whether it was Shengjun, Dongyi or Western countries, similar inventions were found wherever there were muskets.
Players all come from modern society, and this tactic does not require popular science, almost everyone understands it.
In this way, almost all of the first batch of barbarian soldiers who tried to use ladders to climb the city perished under the city.
Players first use bows and arrows to shoot the barbarians without armor, then use muskets to shoot the barbarians wearing heavy armor, and finally use large-scale killing props such as rolling logs, rocks, and thunder to clear out the enemies in dense areas.
At the end of a round of fighting, the barbarians controlled by the demon suffered heavy losses, while the losses on the player's side were negligible.
Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot by arrows from the city walls or chopped down by the barbarians who were lucky enough to scale the city wall, most people were basically unscathed.
But soon, a new round of attacks came again.
More barbarians continued to arrive, stepping on the corpses of their companions and continuing to climb the city. Not only that, there were also barbarians pushing carts to the west city gate!
Beiman's crash car is not the most primitive type, but has been improved, not only with a suspension frame, a hammer, but also a roof.
Soldiers can hide under the roof of the vehicle and push the vehicle forward slowly. Even rolling logs and rocks will hardly pose a threat to the solid roof.
"These barbarian soldiers have many tricks and are harder to deal with than the Dongyi bandits." On the city wall, Zhao Haiping said with emotion while shooting arrows.
Chu Ge nodded: "Well, for the Dasheng Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians are obviously more difficult to deal with enemies.
"Although the Dongyi bandits disrupted the southeastern coast and caused great losses to the Dasheng Dynasty, they were just scabies. In fact, the Dasheng Dynasty never really regarded these Dongyi bandits as opponents.
"But the Northern Barbarians are different.
"Whether it is Beidi or Beiman, no matter it is Yan, Chu, Wei, Liang, Qi, no matter which dynasty it is, the nomadic people in the north are the biggest threat. If one is not careful, the country will be destroyed like the last years of Da Qi.
China Lu Chen.
"The Northern Barbarians were able to destroy Qi back then, so their military strength should not be underestimated.
"The game "Dark Sand" is quite merciful. The first two dungeons allow us to use the Eastern Yi thieves to practice our skills. If we face the Northern Barbarians directly from the beginning, I am afraid that most players will only be abused."
Zhao Haiping shot another barbarian soldier who was trying to climb the city to death with one arrow, and asked: "So after talking so much, how are we going to solve this car rush?"
Some players have tried to throw rocks at the rush car, but to no avail. The stones bounced off the roof of the rush car and did not cause any serious damage.
"Just prepare the rocket." Chu Ge said to Zhao Haiping.
Zhao Haiping was stunned for a moment: "Rocket?"
Chu Ge turned to look at Li Hongyun, who was holding his musket high and shooting happily: "It's time for you to appear! Fire up the oil!"
The sealed clay pots filled with strong fire oil had already been brought to the top of the city, just waiting for this moment.
In fact, according to historical records, due to the relatively developed firearms in the Dasheng Dynasty, the use of fierce fire oil was far less frequent than before. But this is not true history after all, but the Fortress of the Orderer.
In the Fortress of the Orderer, as long as you are willing to spend money and construction value, all activated equipment can be replaced.
The players exchanged some fierce fire oil in advance and stored it just for now.
Of course, since the relevant technology tree has not yet been lit up, technology points similar to the "Fierce Oil Tank" have not yet been activated. Perhaps such toys can be activated after clearing certain copies of Daqi.
But now, we can only use clay pots filled with strong fire oil and throw it, and the lethality has been reduced.
Li Hongyun happily raised the Menghuo oil tank high and threw it towards the rushing car below!
Of course one can was not enough, so he threw three more cans in succession.
The players nearby immediately looked over to watch.
In fact, everyone doesn’t have much expectations for this. After all, the city wall is so high. From top to bottom, the target is not very big. How can it be just right on top?
If the clay pot is a little crooked and falls next to or under the ram car, it will not be of much use, because these barbarian soldiers are controlled by demons and are not afraid of death. Even if they are burned, they will insist on attacking the city.
It would only work if strong fire oil was poured on the top of the ram, igniting it and burning the entire ram to lose its effectiveness.
However, what shocked everyone was that the four clay pots actually drew a strange arc in the air and accurately landed on the roof of the car one after another!
There was a "pop" sound, the clay pot shattered, and the fire oil flowed down the roof of the car.
Zhao Haiping saw the right moment and fired a rocket on the roof of the car.
The other players were not idle either, shooting rockets, or throwing thunderbolts, in short, igniting the fierce fire oil.
With a cry, flames shot into the sky!
The raging flames immediately enveloped the car and burned violently.
The barbarian soldiers had just pushed the ram car to the city gate with great pains, and were about to work together to push the hammer to hit the city gate, but they found that fierce oil flowed down the roof of the car, and it instantly caught fire.
Before even a few collisions, these barbarian soldiers were already buried in the flames along with the charging car.
Not only did the rush car not play the role of siege, but it blocked the city gate and turned into a blazing roadblock, blocking the way of the barbarians behind.
Once again, the crisis was resolved, and the players breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the reserve team that has been waiting in the city is a little impatient.
During the first expedition of the Orderers, these reserves also stayed in the city, but at that time, the broken city gate in the small county town was quickly breached, and they were able to fight with the bandits in the city.
But now, the defense of the Orderer's fortress is too strong, leaving the reserve teams waiting in the city with nothing to do.
"Brothers on the city wall, are you tired? How about we change and we go up to fight for a while?"
"Yeah, it's so boring to wait in the city all the time..."
"Can you send us as surprise troops to sneak out from other city gates to attack the enemy?"
No matter how they asked, Chu Ge remained indifferent and had only one answer: "Stand where you are!"
Chu Ge knew very well that it was normal for the barbarian soldiers to be blocked from attacking at first, but this did not mean that the players were really sure of victory.
The demon is not stupid. Although it treats these barbarians as cannon fodder, it will definitely think of other ways after its attack is blocked.
At that time, it will be time for these reserve team players to show their talents.
But now, the time has not come.
If you attack rashly because of a temporary advantage, it is tantamount to giving away.
Regardless of the fact that the barbarian soldiers are being beaten so hard that they can't find their way around, if they really go to the great plains outside and players who can only run around on two legs face heavy cavalry, they will only get beaten.
Even fierce men like Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping are in vain when faced with a mass charge of cavalry, and no matter how good their combat skills are, they are useless.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the players who were responsible for guarding the east side began to be attacked.
"Report! I don't know when those thieves sneaked to the east! They crossed the hills and dense forests and are trying to attack the east gate!"
Chu Ge hurriedly said: "Separate a reserve team to support the east! The commanders in other defense areas are also always paying attention to the enemy's movements. If they find anything, they must report it as soon as possible!
"The terrain in the east is complicated. Each captain can send players out through the secret passage to ambush the enemy according to the battle situation!"
Relatively speaking, the east side is covered with rolling hills and dense forests. Although the terrain is not as dangerous as the north and south sides, it is basically impossible for large siege equipment to pass through.
Therefore, the garrison strength arranged on the east wall will definitely not be as complete as that on the west side.
Whether it is the number of players responsible for defense or the rolling logs and stones prepared, they are far behind those in the west.
Apparently the demon realized that the west wall was difficult to break, so he sent these Dongyi bandits to try to attack from the east.
The thieves were very agile and basically had no cavalry, so they could easily cross mountains and ridges.
If we were lucky enough to take advantage of the lax defense and attack the east gate and enter the city, then the defenders in the city would naturally be in chaos. Then the east and west would attack from both sides, and the possibility of capturing the city would be greatly increased.
It's a pity that players didn't make such a stupid mistake.
The players in the reserve team were gearing up. After rushing to the east gate, they found that the current guard strength of the east gate was sufficient, and it was impossible for the thieves to board the city or break through the city gate in the short term.
Although we don't have many rolling logs, rocks or thunder at the east gate, the bandits also don't have large siege equipment, so the two sides are in a state of novices pecking each other.
Therefore, the captain of the reserve team took his players and sneaked out of the city through the secret passage that had been built in advance, hid in the dense forest, and quietly made a detour to the rear of the bandits.
