Chapter 186: The Zerg's Last Resort
If the Zerg side still has the confidence to hold on in the previous entanglement, then when the Terran trebuchet appears, there will be no suspense at all.
Trebuchet (Manufactured in Imperial Age, Castle Production) Cost: Wood: 200, Gold: 200, Health: 150, Attack: 0, Armor: 2, Shield: 8, Range: 16
The trebuchet is the most powerful and long-range siege weapon in Age of Empires 2, and it must be deployed before it can be used (it is relatively vulnerable when deployed), and it has very poor ability to attack active targets, cannot deal with close attacks, and needs to be protected by troops. The disadvantages are: the price is very high (a penny, a penny), and the time to unfold and put away at the same time is long, and it is best to attack several cars in turn.
Regardless of the disadvantages of the trebuchet, the ultra-long range of 16 points and the terrifying lethality of facing buildings more than make up for it.
Of course, if a stone thrown down by a trebuchet accidentally falls on some soldiers, it can also deal a lot of damage.
What's more, when the Terran trebuchet appeared, it meant that it had already entered the imperial era above the castle era, and at least one castle had been built.
The castle is the ultimate defensive building in Age of Empires 2, as well as a training ground and construction site for things like trebuchets and special classes.
Once the castle appears, it means that the defense of the Terrans has been completely stabilized, even if the Zerg sends troops to sneak attack, it will be difficult to obtain frontal results, but it may be a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and there is no return.
And until now, the Zerg side was disturbed by the attack and could not develop smoothly, so they barely scraped together enough resources to enter the Imperial Era, and there was still a distance from gathering the resources to build the castle, plus the Terran was blocked at the door, which made the Zerg even more worried when climbing technology, and I don't know what to do, and the result can only make the situation it face worse.
Therefore, the moment they saw the Terran trebuchet, most of the Zerg soldiers decided that this time it must have failed.
"Rioter, fight last!" In desperation, the Zerg commander had no choice but to make this decision.
The so-called rioters have two meanings:
One is to go all out regardless of training, generally speaking, if a basic armed force wants to participate in the battle, it must at least go through a period of training, if it is a team that has entered the one-dimensional space to participate in the war, it is not among them, but many members who have been called to participate in the war have never participated in the coordinated battle of the one-dimensional space, and they must go through a period of running-in, and they want to skip directly, unless they form a war group like Zhang Dongzhe and them, and the next time 10,000 members of the war group will enter the same basic armed force again, At the same time, you can also choose the type of class this time, so that you can participate in the battle with a little training. In this way, the training time consumed is extremely short, and it can indeed be called a riot soldier.
The second is that there is no restriction on the strength of the personnel participating in the war. Taking the Terran side as an example, those who entered the one-dimensional space to participate in the battle before were at least those who had reached the first level of the mortal level in their Force cultivation, like those soldiers who had not been able to make a breakthrough in their cultivation of the Force for a long time, but they were still on standby in the real universe. It is worth mentioning that if the cultivation is higher than the limit, if you fail to integrate the role of the original realm, you will not have supernormal strength when you enter the low-level basic armament, but if the cultivation is too low, it will inevitably affect the strength of the troops in the one-dimensional space.
For example, if there are 10,000 Terran soldiers who have cultivated at the second level of the mortal rank into a villager's basic armament, then as long as these 10,000 soldiers have not fused with the original realm role, the villager's basic armament can only exert the strength of ordinary villagers. However, if 10,000 uncultivated Terran soldiers enter a villager's basic armament, it is likely that that villager only has 20 HP in the one-dimensional space, or even less, and the attack power will be weakened, which is much worse than the 25 HP limit and 3 attack damage of ordinary villagers.
In the riot mode, all kinds of barracks in the base will go all out to train soldiers, and they will not train carefully at all, and at the same time, the members on standby from the outside world will no longer be screened.
Sure enough, when the Zerg started the rioters, the number of soldiers increased suddenly, basically like an assembly line, and a large number of soldiers appeared in line in the base.
"Charge!"
At the same time, several battering rams and various catapults were also pushed out, and they rushed to the vicinity of the city gate early.
Battering ram (craftable in Castle Age)
Price: Wood: 160, Gold: 75, Health: 175, Attack: 2, Armor: 0, Shield: 180, Range: 0
Ballista (craftable in Castle Age)
Price: Wood: 75, Gold: 75, Health: 40, Attack: 12, Armor: 0, Shield: 6, Range: 5
Catapult (can be crafted in Castle Age)
Price: Wood: 160, Gold: 135, Health: 50, Attack: 40, Armor: 0, Shield: 6, Range: 7
……
Unlike trebuchets, catapults can be built in the age of castles, while the latter can only be built in the age of emperors, and the latter is not built in a conventional siege weapon factory, but the ultimate defensive structure - the castle.
This dispatch of the Zerg basically exhausted everything, 5 siege rams, 4 ballistas, 7 catapults, a total of 16 siege equipment. In addition, there were more than 100 soldiers who were quickly trained, and even dozens of villagers rushed up.
If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, this is the determination of the Zerg commander.
In fact, this one-dimensional space war has been fought so far, it is almost over, the only question is how much damage the Zerg can cause to the human race, although their final violent action is to kill a thousand enemies and injure three thousand, but due to the uneven strength of the members participating in the war, even if the losses are larger, it will not affect the overall strength of the current one, but can weaken the strength of the dominant Terran, and lay a good foundation for the next battle in the one-dimensional space.
The same thing, the Terran will do it in the case of an absolute disadvantage, and because the Terran has been losing in the face of the Zerg for a while now, they have more opportunities to do so, but this time they actually forced the Zerg to fight hard, but they prepared so many backhands in vain.
At this point, the entire battle of the one-dimensional space can basically be said to have been won or lost, and the human race unexpectedly won the final victory when a large number of people entered the Golden Ancient Plain Realm and were busy trying to find opportunities in the large-scale plot of Wuliang Mountain, and at the same time, it also made those behind the scenes who planned to dig a pit for Zhang Dongzhe completely miscalculated-they thought that Zhang Dongzhe had failed to reach the first level of the mortal rank, and that he would inevitably be embarrassed to participate in the battle this time, but the result was a different situation.
