Chapter 829: No One Can Stop Me from Attacking the City (I)
Due to the high altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the average annual temperature in many places is below zero degrees Celsius, and even in some warm places, the average monthly temperature is less than 10 degrees.
In addition to the low temperature, the temperature difference between day and night on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also very large, and day and night are basically two seasons.
Although the temperature on the Tibetan Plateau has gradually warmed up in April, the temperature will drop back below zero degrees Celsius as night falls.
Going out on a cold night can be a very painful thing, let alone fighting siege warfare against the freezing cold winds and sub-zero temperatures.
Neither Li Qi nor Samir wanted to continue fighting at night, but Ning Yuan had no intention of stopping, so the two of them could only reluctantly continue to fight with Ning Yuan.
Li Qi mainly because the performance of the Huaxia Player Alliance during the day was a little too bad, so the Tenglong Legion did not retreat, and he was embarrassed to open this mouth to Ning Yuan.
Compared with Richie's embarrassment, Samir is more passive.
Because as the defender of the city, as long as the attacker does not retreat, he has no choice, so the enemy refuses to stop, and he can only continue to accompany passively.
The night is very unfriendly to humans, elves, and dwarves.
Their vision at night is very limited, and even if torches are lit around them, they can only see what is close to them.
And for the orcs who have night vision, they have an innate advantage in fighting at night.
First of all, their skin is much thicker than that of humans and other races, and their hair is thicker, which makes them more resistant to the cold of the night.
Secondly, they all possess night vision and can see farther than other races. Although not as convenient as during the day, the effect of night on them can be said to be minimal.
Seventy percent of the players of the ten legions that Ning Yuan transferred to the front line were powerful orc races, so it was not surprising that he refused to retreat.
When night fell, in addition to the orc players who had already reached the front line, Ning Yuan had the two dragon legions on the front line all withdraw to the barracks for repairs, and they were replaced by two new new forces.
Seeing this, Li Qi and the others could only withdraw the regiment during the day and replace it with two fresh troops who had been resting in the barracks.
As the two siege armies were replaced with new forces, the pressure on the defenders on the city walls suddenly increased.
Although the castle was lit with flames in order to attack the enemy, there was a fundamental difference between the light of fire and sunlight.
Except for the two orc elite legions of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds who were not affected, the other Terran and elven crossbowmen were all greatly affected.
Poor visibility makes it impossible for them to see enemies in the distance, and close enemies are entangled with their own melee soldiers, making it difficult for them to find a chance to shoot.
As a result, the long-range firepower on Sun Moon City was unconsciously muted after nightfall.
After losing the support of long-range fire, the pressure on the defenders of the city increased.
Due to the excellent equipment on the side of the Dragon Legion, the threat of the enemy's long-range firepower to them is very limited, so the sudden mute of the enemy's long-range firepower has little impact on them.
On the other hand, on the side of the Huaxia player alliance, the reason why they suffered heavy losses during the day was mainly because the armor rate of the soldiers was extremely low, and the enemies on the city wall used long-range attacks to inflict great damage on them.
When the enemy's long-range fire suddenly fell silent, their numerical superiority suddenly became apparent.
Under the desperate charge of the players, the eastern section of the city wall of Sun Moon City suddenly collapsed.
"Throw Molotov cocktails!"
Seeing that there were more and more Chinese players rushing to the eastern section of the city wall, Samir could only use a killer weapon to fight for his life in advance.
Upon receiving Samir's order, the soldiers on the tower immediately threw clay pots filled with fire oil at the enemy, and then fired a dense barrage of rockets.
Yes~~~!
The oil immediately burst into flames, and then a scream rang out from the city walls.
This Molotov cocktail attack of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds not only killed and injured a large number of Huaxia players, but also killed a lot of their own people, which can be described as killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves.
After discovering that his body was on fire, both Chinese and Indian players chose to commit suicide immediately, and those players who were not affected by the fire retreated.
With the suicide of a large number of players in the city, and the raging fire, the crisis of Sun Moon City was immediately resolved.
Seeing that the enemy had successfully forced back those soldiers who were besieging the city using fire attack tactics, Ning Yuan suddenly showed a look of disdain.
I saw him wave his big hand, and immediately a team of orc players rushed towards the city wall with sandbags.
After so many years and countless baptisms of war, Ning Yuan already knew all kinds of emergencies that would be encountered in siege warfare.
Since players are not afraid of death, many of them will use some of the same tactics to kill and damage their enemies.
And the tactic of using fire oil to carry out indiscriminate attacks, the Condor Army has already played it badly.
As a master of this way, Ning Yuan had used the tactic of indiscriminate attacks many times to sin against some indigenous forces, so he had already expected that the enemy might use fire attacks to prevent his own attack from attacking the city.
The fire would have been extinguished after half an hour, but the walls were littered with the corpses of the players.
At this time, the corpses of the players become the best fuel.
If the fire is allowed to burn like this, I am afraid that it will not gradually die out until at least the second half of the night.
If he really waited until that time, then Ning Yuan's night siege tactics would have failed immediately.
Samir looked at the fire on the city wall, felt the scorching heat on his face, and couldn't help but stretch out very comfortably.
Just when he thought that the Condor Army would not continue to attack the city tonight, and he could go back to sleep peacefully, a large number of black shadows suddenly appeared on the other side of the flames.
The shadows seemed to be carrying something in their hands, and they were constantly throwing them into the flames.
Next, a scene that stunned Samir appeared.
As the shadows kept busy, the flames that were originally burning suddenly became sluggish.
"It's not good, the enemy is putting out the fire."
After discovering that the fire was weakening, Samir immediately shouted in horror: "Archers, shoot at those black shadows and stop them from putting out the fire." ”
With Samir's order, the archers in the tower immediately faced the flames and there was a rain of arrows.
