Chapter 400: Worst Plans
As soon as the battle loss ratio was calculated, Yun Xiaohan realized that the current long-range attrition style of play had a very low effect, and it could even be said that if he continued to fight like this, today's plot would definitely not have a good result.
Continuing to play this way means that the player can't really influence the outcome of the battle. Since the player is not the decisive force in a conventional war, the real decisive force can only be the NPC armies of both sides.
If you drag on like this, you can only wait for the NPC troops of the coalition forces behind to arrive, and then under the attack of the NPC coalition forces, you can break through the village in one fell swoop. But in this way, the imperial players have completely become soy sauce players, at most, they are taking advantage of the situation to beat the side drum and take advantage of it.
It may seem like nothing wrong with that, but there are too many variables.
The most critical problem is the time limit.,This time the plot needs to capture 8 villages and a city.,If the surrounding 8 villages don't come down, you can't attack the city.,But if this circle of 8 villages all rely on NPC armies to fight.,How much time does it take.。 Even if all the villages are attacked in one go, it will take a lot of time to run 8 villages alone, and there are a large number of infantry in the NPC coalition, and they can't march fast.
When the NPC coalition takes down 8 villages, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold. A city is a city, and the city defense should be much stronger, and it cannot be achieved overnight, and how much time can be left for siege is critical. Only by saving more time in the siege phase can the final siege be more certain, otherwise it is likely to fall short.
And no one knows if there will be NPC reinforcements from the Shang Alliance, and if there are reinforcements, how large will the reinforcements be? When will it arrive? But Yun Xiaohan felt that according to the consistent urine nature of the designers of "Choice", there would definitely be reinforcements from the Shang Alliance, but there was only a difference between more and less. Considering that this is just an optional plot, the word "optional" itself illustrates the difficulty of this plot, if it is easy to play, will it still be optional?
In addition, no one will know better than Yun Xiaohan how this plot is triggered, originally this plot is the result of his deep excavation, no matter what kind of moth comes out in the process of the plot, Yun Xiaohan will not feel strange.
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: "The husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! "It's not a bad thing to consider the development of the situation badly, and to prepare more, at least it can make people not lose their mentality when facing a bad situation, so Yun Xiaohan has to plan for the worst.
The coalition has a great advantage in numbers, not only in terms of the number of NPCs, but also in the number of players.
Don't look at the number of players involved in the plot on the imperial side, but only 20,000 people officially signed up, and more of them are those who came to join in the fun. Although Yun Xiaohan has not counted it, and it is impossible to count it, the number of players who joined in the fun is at least more than 40,000. Although there may not be so many now, more and more players will come as the story progresses.
It's the same with the business alliance, players from both camps will keep coming.
But people are profit-oriented, if it has always been such a high battle loss ratio, the attacking players have not been able to get much benefit, but always lose experience, there will be people who give up halfway, or cower, and then the other will disappear, then it will be completely difficult to do.
The current battle situation is the best example, even if the battle loss ratio is low, the defenders in the village have suffered a lot of casualties, but the defenders in the village not only did not decrease, but there was a tendency to increase.
On the one hand, the village itself can spawn a small number of NPC soldiers every once in a while, and on the other hand, players and NPC reinforcements from the business alliance continue to enter the village to help defend it.
With such a two-pronged replenishment, the number of additional troops on the defending side is even higher than the number of lost troops, but the ratio of NPCs to players is decreasing.
Since he realized that such a fight would not work, Yun Xiaohan immediately began to think about how to change his playing style, and he quickly thought of a way to cure the symptoms.
Yun Xiaohan reported a coordinate, asked the players under his command to withdraw from the battle and regroup, and when the assembly was completed, he would take people around the rear, intending to block the reinforcements.
At this time, there are also a lot of imperial players around the village, but most of them are sparsely scattered and shoot at the defenders in the village, and there is no formed player team.
Medium-sized villages usually have only two gates, and this is the case with the village that is being attacked, and the main gate of the village is now the east gate.
When Yun Xiaohan led the team to the west gate, the gate of the village on the other side, he found that there were already many people fighting on this side, but the number of Imperial players was much smaller than that of the Shang Alliance, so there was no way to prevent the reinforcements of the Shang Alliance from entering the village.
Seeing what else to say in this situation, Yun Xiaohan shouted, and everyone rushed up and began to intercept the reinforcements of the Shang Alliance.
Yun Xiaohan didn't have the idea of going to seize the door, although there were not many defenders of the West Gate, there were about 300 people, and these 300 people were all NPC troops, no matter how lively the fight outside the West Gate was, these NPC troops had no intention of going out, but the Imperial players would attack when they entered the range.
In this case, the possibility of wanting to capture the West Gate in one go is really not high, the village gate is so wide, and it can't rush in in a short time, once the situation is deadlocked, the other side will transfer troops to help guard the gate, plus the reinforcements of the Shang Alliance on the other side, it is more than 1,000 people led by Yun Xiaohan who are being flanked.
It is impossible for Yun Xiaohan to exchange the interests of his direct player troops because he wants to get a good plot result, once they suffer too many casualties, but they do not get any benefits, it is impossible to be so commanding when they are transferred later, they follow Yun Xiaohan to eat meat, not to cut meat.
In Yun Xiaohan's opinion, to take his old book for an uncertain plot reward is completely putting the cart before the horse. Moreover, he is in the fire on the west gate, and the result of the hard work is likely to be to let the east gate take advantage of the situation to capture the village, which is really a sacrifice of life.
Yun Xiaohan is just an ordinary player, he has his selfishness, and his ideological realm is not noble to the level of sacrificing the ego and fulfilling the ego, so he chose a more secure and easier way to fight for the interests of his team - not to attack the door for the time being, but to go all out to encircle the reinforcements, first break down the intermittent reinforcements, and then talk about other things after taking this piece of interest.
The strength of this group of players under Yun Xiaohan is still very strong, after all, the main force among them is the members of the Ling Dome Pavilion, and the players and NPCs in front of them rely on the location to fight defensive battles, and they have no way to do it, so they dare not rush hard.
However, when everyone was in no danger to defend and did not form a queue to shoot at each other, the side with stronger individual combat power had a huge advantage, and in a short period of time, the players and NPC soldiers of the merchant alliance who came to support were completely dispersed.
