Chapter 901 Siege Machinery Catapult
20 units of the Rank 8 Blood Dragon VS 20 units of the Rank 8 Ghost Behemoth.
Both sides are eighth-order troops, and the number is the same, so you can intuitively judge the level of combat effectiveness.
The two Rank 8 armies roared and fought.
If you compare the size, the ghost behemoth is the life of being beaten, and although the size of the evolution is equal to combat power in most cases, that is only the majority of cases, and the ghost behemoth is not in this 'most cases'.
I saw that the battle was unilaterally crushed at the beginning, and after the blood dragon's attack hit, although it seemed that it could cause some damage, it was just damage, and it would not cause heavy damage and fatal injuries, on the other hand, the ghost beast counterattacked, and every claw was swung out, like an invincible divine soldier swept through the air, and the blood dragon's blood-colored bones looked extremely hard, like confetti flying all over the sky.
Therefore, although there is a huge gap in the size of the two sides, it is the opposite that the small body side hangs the large body side, of course, the size here is relatively speaking, and the small side is also a giant body type with a height of more than ten meters.
The battle of the eighth-order troops is devastating for the surrounding low-level troops, as long as they touch it slightly, they will be killed in seconds, but fortunately, the plain is big enough, so the NPC forces under the alliance of evil wolf knights bypassed from both sides and continued to attack the low-level troops of the retreating dragon mercenary group.
It took less than a minute for the ghost beast to solve 20 units of the eighth-order blood dragon, and this is because the blood dragon characteristic can draw blood from the damage caused to restore its own injuries, otherwise it won't last a minute at all.
"That's it?" Xu Yun looked at Long Xingtian a little strangely and asked suspiciously.
Seeing that the eighth-order blood dragon was killed one by one by the ghost beasts that were also eighth-order, and the dragon mercenary group did not react, he felt that the commander of this battle was not a rookie, and this kind of simple mistake was made? , Blood Dragon, an eighth-order class, is most suitable for bullying the soft and fearing the hard, so let this eighth-order class go head-to-head with the invincible ghost beast in close combat, isn't it waking up? .
"This time, our Xia Longcheng commanders are Xia Yunmeng and Dragon Eye, the fourth and ninth places on the list of famous generals! , We don't know much about this battle plan", among the five players standing behind Long Xingtianxia, someone explained to Xu Yun, because they didn't know the battle plan either, but the players who commanded the battle were not nameless.
"Is that so?" After hearing the name of the commander, Xu Yun knew that there should be another reason for deliberately sending these blood dragons to death, so he didn't ask.
With the appearance of the eighth-order class of the Ghost Behemoth, other units of the NPC Force Alliance have also appeared one after another.
Orcs, ogres, cyclops, and Beamon, these troops circled out from behind the hills like a tidal wave, and countless wolf knights instigated wolves to rush out of the hills, and continued to fight with the cannon fodder troops under the command of the Dragon Mercenary Regiment.
When these troops completely appeared on the plain, the attack and defense of Xia Long City officially began.
If the city east of Xia Long City is below the fifth order, the dragon mercenary group may take the initiative to attack, because in addition to the low city walls, the city below the fifth order also has the risk of being raided by flying troops, so the advantage of defending the city is actually not too big.
But after the city reached the fifth order, it was different, and the advantage of the defending side of the city was greatly increased, so the dragon mercenary group did not have any intention of taking the initiative to attack at all, but just let the cannon fodder troops and the other party consume each other, and the other troops did not attack at all, and the melee players were still invisible, and now it seems that they should have adopted offline tactics like those previous French players.
Now that the NPC coalition has set up a formation on the plain, the number can be seen at a glance, but this number is beyond Xu Yun's expectations.
100,000 units of seventh-order Beamon!
200,000 units of sixth-order cyclops!
A fourth-order ogre in millions!
Hundreds of thousands of units of third-order and half-orcs and countless second-order wolf knights.
Although this number of troops can be called terrifying, compared to the four forces of the three major NPC kingdoms and the wilderness plane, this number is a bit small, or even pitiful, for example, the seventh-order legions that Xu Yun annihilated during this period of time add up to almost 100,000 units of seventh-order troops.
"Does the head of the reincarnation think that these NPC forces are too few troops above the high level?", Long Xingtianxia certainly understood what Xu Yun was thinking, so he asked with a smile, and seeing the latter nodding, he continued to explain:
"For the reincarnation leader, this number of troops may not be too much, and you have eliminated almost this number of seventh-order troops during this time, but for our major giant forces, the seventh-order troops are still very tricky enemies, so this number is already very much for us, and such a small number of opposing troops is consumed by a large number of troops and players!"
In order to achieve this goal of reducing the NPC alliance, the Dragon Mercenary Group has paid unimaginable resources, because it can no longer afford this kind of consumption before it will launch a decisive battle, otherwise if it can use resources to kill these NPC alliances, the Dragon Mercenary Group will certainly not be stingy.
"Here we go!" , After seeing the number of these NPC alliances, Xu Yun was very relieved, because of this number, he felt that the deal between him and Longxing Tianxia should be no problem, so he looked out of the city very relaxedly, and the battle officially began.
As the green frenzy surges, the fourth-order ogre troops under the command of the NPC coalition begin to advance, protecting the ten catapults in the center.
Catapults!
This is the same war machine as the bed crossbow, but it is much narrower than the bed crossbow in application, first of all, it is a huge body twenty meters long and five meters wide, and it can throw a two-meter diameter stone projectile five hundred meters away each time, and the launch speed is not fast, but because it has a huge damage bonus when attacking the city wall, it will generally only appear when attacking the city, and the combat effect is not good.
In the past, when most of the cities were below the fifth order, no one used catapults to attack the city, because they could directly use flying units to cross the city walls to attack the city, so there was no need to let the bulky and expensive catapults come out.
But when attacking a city above the fifth order and with a forbidden air array, if there is no catapult as a war machine, then there is only the option of destroying the city gate, and the city gate is definitely the key defense area of the defender, and it is not easy to break, so the siege party will fall into an absolute disadvantage, and only with the catapult, the difficulty of the siege will be greatly reduced.
The Wolf Knight and the Big-Eared Monster, who had retreated to the city wall after the undead scourge battle magic appeared, were now under the command of the hero, all of them rushed towards the location of the ten catapults protected by the ogre, and the Wolf Knight, which belonged to the NPC force, stopped them, and the two sides fell into cannon fodder attrition mode.
The catapult, protected by the ogre troops, quickly came to a stop at a distance of five hundred meters, and then ten huge stone projectiles were thrown high, drawing a parabola in the air and flying towards the city wall.
Bang!
A huge crash sounded, and these ordinary-looking stone bombs, as if they were stuffed with high explosives, blew up a huge crater one meter deep and nearly three meters in diameter on the six-meter-thick city wall, if it was not a stone, but a huge bomb.
You know, this is a sixth-order city wall!
Even if a seventh-order class like Beamon is allowed to attack casually, it is impossible to leave much trace on the city wall, but the stone projectile thrown by the catapult caused such a lot of damage, it can only be said that the bonus of the rules for damage is too strong.
The stone projectiles emitted by catapults, if they hit ordinary high-level troops, may not be able to hit the results of instant killing, but when attacking the city wall, they can play results far beyond the attack power of the seventh-order troops, and it is no wonder that only in siege battles can this war machine appear.
On the throwing arms of the ten catapults at a distance of 500 meters, new stone projectiles slowly appeared, but it would take some time to launch a second round of attacks, depending on the situation.
"Long-range fire attack!" , the order under the amplification scroll bonus resounded on the battlefield, because the ogre troops had already torn through the low-level cannon fodder interception line at this time, and slaughtered within two hundred meters of the city wall.
The fourth-order ogre, who is four meters tall and carries a huge wooden club, can be knocked away with a stick when facing the second-order wolf knight, even if the blood volume is too low, the name ogre is not just a name, the corpses all over the battlefield are enough to make these ogres regenerate, although in a cruel way.
It can be said that the cannon fodder sea tactic is completely impossible for some troops, especially for the fourth-order vampire king troops in the cemetery, the more enemy cannon fodder troops, the stronger this force will be.
The appearance of the ogre means that the cannon fodder sea tactics cannot be effective, and in this situation you can only rely on ranged troops.
Countless ranged attacks were launched from the city walls, raining down on the green sea of ogres.
Call!
Flying a large number of rocks in the air, the sixth-order cyclops standing in the city can of course also attack with projectiles.
The ogres who were slaying towards the city wall fell in rows as if they had crashed into a copper wall under such terrifying long-range fire.
The third-order half-orc class is not qualified to go to the city wall as long-range firepower, especially for the dragon mercenary group that does not lack players, it is impossible to pull out millions of long-range players, but hundreds of thousands of words can still be pulled out with all their strength, and the combined long-range firepower of these long-range professional players is stronger than millions of units of half-orcs.
Regardless of whether the player or the cyclops, the ranged attacks sent out can easily inflict heavy damage on the fourth-order ogre, and even if they hit the instant kill, it is not a difficult task.
It's just that relative to the number of ogres that must be calculated in millions, it is impossible to solve it with long-range firepower, at most, during the period when the long-range firepower is in full swing, the ogre troops can't move in an inch, even if these ogres are constantly killed, they don't stop advancing, it is clear that being cannon fodder consumes the player's magic and physical strength.
Now it's the turn of the NPC forces to use the ogre as cannon fodder.
It's just that for the players, there is a looming problem! ,
