Chapter 417: Coalition Attacks Shang Alliance Plot 4
PS: Chapter 416 should be the East Gate, I wrote it as the West Gate, correct it.
While the Merchant player was crafting the Ladder, a few of the more impulsive players had already stepped forward and attempted to launch a ranged attack on the defenders of the wall.
But before they could get into range, the defenders' ranged attacks were already coming, killing several players on the spot, and the rest hurriedly retreated.
The range of this attack of the defenders is at least more than half of the normal range, which is obviously a bonus brought by the height of the city wall, which cannot be hit so far in an independent space, and the wall that is much higher than this will not work.
After these daredevils were defeated, no player dared to rush forward, but when the players did not step forward, the defenders began to move, and the defenders began to attack with the ballistas on the city walls. The location of the NPC coalition is relatively far away, and the ballista can't be hit, so the unlucky ones can only be the Imperial players who are standing relatively close.
The crossbow arrows fired by the ballista are extremely powerful, and if they are hit, they will definitely be dead, even if they are rubbed, they will be seriously injured. Moreover, the crossbow bolt is extremely penetrating, and there are many players, often piercing two or three players at a time.
However, there are only 8 ballistas on the city wall on the east gate, which is not a lot, and not every crossbow arrow can hit people, and the frequency of arrows is also fast, so the actual casualties caused are not very many, and its deterrent effect is far stronger than its killing effect.
Being shot by a ballista, Imperial players who are in the front position are panicked and scramble to retreat, and the chaotic situation of crowding makes it easier for the ballista to hit the target, even hitting multiple targets at once.
Seeing this kind of scene, Yun Xiaohan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, players are still just players after all. Yun Xiaohan's team had been in contact with ballistas when they were fighting the Battle of Slatsburg, and they still had some precautions against ballista attacks, and Yun Xiaohan was also cautious to stand parallel to the NPC coalition forces, so the ballista would definitely not be able to hit them.
After about 3 rounds of shooting, the Imperial players have withdrawn from the range of the ballista, although the players have little experience in war, and many of them have not even fought the defense of the city (the Battle of Slatsburg was a battle dominated by Nancy City players, and the players of Snow City were not all able to participate, and the Imperial players of the Battle of Sardinia were often defeated as soon as they landed), but the players' brains were not stupid, and they could quickly judge the ultimate range of the ballista according to the crossbow arrows inserted in the ground.
For a while, no one was willing to step forward again, and even the few large guilds that wanted to be in the limelight were temporarily silenced. No one is a fool, there are so many defenders on the city wall, and there are ballistas, which no guild can take down alone, and if it is hard, it will be sent to death, not to mention that the two-legged ladder has not even been built, and there is no hurry at this time.
After a short wait, the first Ladders were created and passed on to the other players.
Some guilds have more merchants and more ladders built, and as long as you put a two-foot ladder on the city wall, subsequent players can use the ladder to climb the city wall, so although it is only the first batch of ladders, it is barely enough.
As soon as this ladder was enough, several guilds with more ideas began to be unable to hold back.
These guilds are not stupid, knowing that a single guild will definitely not have a chance, they began to connect with each other, and even began to do the work of scattered players, trying to attract more people to attack with them.
Yun Xiaohan is only the titular commander-in-chief, and there are less than 2,000 players who can really directly control it, which is not as good as some larger guilds. Although there are 20,000 people in the coalition chat room, the game has been open for more than a month, and most of the players already have a guild, if there is no guild interference, they may still buy Yun Xiaohan's account, but in this situation, they will definitely give priority to following the guild's instructions.
Yun Xiaohan is not arrogant enough to feel that since he has a name, everyone else should listen to me, his mind is still very clear, and he will not do thankless things.
And Yun Xiaohan is still very happy to see this happen, and there is cannon fodder to take the initiative to test it, which saves him a lot of effort.
Several guilds quickly completed the tandem, made a little preparation, and began to attack when the second batch of two-legged ladders was in place.
Shield battles and anti-mount led the way, followed by other melee players, followed by priests and ranged classes, and a large group of players rushed towards Gloya City.
Because the charging scene was very chaotic, the specific number of people Yun Xiaohan couldn't count, but at least six guilds participated in this operation, including the Dragon Yin Guild and the Storm Temple, these two alone combined had nearly 8,000 people, and the scale of the other four guilds was not much smaller than these two guilds, Yun Xiaohan estimated that the total number of people exceeded 20,000, and the Shang Alliance defenders at the east gate were only in their early 10,000s.
The numerical superiority was a source of confidence for these guilds, and they fought relatively well when attacking villages, which only fueled their arrogance.
As soon as the Imperial player entered the firing range, the defenders on the city walls began to attack, and the ballistas were not idle, but the players were also mentally prepared for this, and ran under the walls in the face of the attack.
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, many players who were watching also rushed up, and even some Ling Dome Pavilion players wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Yun Xiaohan.
Today's plot is going too smoothly, and in less than 45 minutes, only Gloya City remains, although the number of players on the imperial side is too obvious, but Yun Xiaohan still feels that "Choice" cannot complete the plot so easily.
After paying nearly 1,000 casualties, the player's forward troops finally rushed to the bottom of the city, where they were placed on the walls with a ladder of their feet, and after a little fixation, they began to climb the walls, while the ranged class stopped to attack the defenders on the walls to cover the melee player's climb.
The defender shoots at the player while attacking the player who climbs the ladder.
You can't use skills when climbing the ladder, you can only be beaten passively, and you will receive additional damage, and the defender can also push the ladder, and the attacker can only use the skill normally when you climb the city wall and don't need to use your hands to grab the ladder, but as long as your feet are still on the ladder, you will also receive additional damage, and once you fall from the ladder, you will also receive a certain amount of fall damage according to the height.
The process of pushing the ladder is equivalent to the competition between the two sides, both hands are constantly throwing dice, once the value thrown by the defender exceeds a certain standard of the attacker, the ladder will be pushed down, the defender pushes the ladder, the attacker climbs the ladder, and the person who is fixed on the ladder below will be involved, and the side with more people will naturally have more advantages, but overall, it is still much more beneficial to the defender.
