Chapter 20 Fortified City

Several of our guild leaders were discussing countermeasures at the top of the city, when the position on the opposite side changed first. The water vapor that filled the air was rapidly gathering into the air. It was obvious that there was some force gathering the water vapor. Our doubts were quickly answered. The water vapor in front of us quickly gathered into a huge black cloud within ten minutes, and then it started to rain, quickly covering the water that had just been cooled down. The lava rock ground washed over again.

"They are preparing for the final attack!" Hongyue suggested: "Everyone should return to their respective posts. This place will become a battlefield soon."

I nodded: "You go to the rear. Just leave it to me to command here."

"Okay!" Rose turned around and took everyone away, leaving only the two national weapon users, True Red and Gold Coin. After all, they were not good at commanding, and their main function was to exert their personal combat effectiveness.

What was originally a mountain forest in front of Panshi City is now a black rocky ground, an absolutely flat, unobstructed area. A large number of troops can be seen at the break that appeared in the distant mountains, moving here, black and heavy like a flood, and the number is initially estimated to be over ten million. NPC legions can be purchased. For Americans, this army is nothing, but it is a headache for me.

The army headed by the Holy Spear Alliance stopped not far in front of the city. The Gunslinger is very smart. The architecture of Rock City is completely derived from Essinger, and the towering city wall like a cliff has a strong psychological deterrent effect. If the Gunslinger leads his troops to attack the city directly, his troops will be 100% frightened by the city wall. So this guy first parked his troops far outside the city, so that they could see the city wall, but because of the distance problem, they would not be too intimidated. As long as the troops adapted to the fear of large objects, they would not They will be frightened by the height of the city wall again. Only then can these armies exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The gunman held a telescope and looked at the top of the city wall for a long time, and suddenly found me standing on the city wall. And looking straight at him, he immediately smiled, and then led the army to move forward some distance. This position is now within the artillery strike range of Panshi City, but we don't plan to open fire yet. It is unlikely that the shells will hit if we throw them randomly at this range.

After ordering the army to stop advancing, the Gunslinger took only a few people around him and continued forward until they reached the bottom of the city wall. "Ziri, do you know what I'm here for?" The city wall is too high, and the sound of this guy's amplification magic is as low as a mosquito's hum.

I 'touched' the leaves of the city tree from my body. This is copied from Essinger, and of course there are also city trees. Let the city tree connect my leaf to the amplification magic circle on the city wall. "Of course I know. Aren't you just here to die?" I deliberately turned on the amplification magic array to its maximum power. The giant magic array with a diameter of more than thirty meters carved on the city wall was more powerful than the temporary amplification magic of the Gunslinger. It was so loud that it was as loud as thunder, so shocked that the gunman almost fell off his horse.

"Okay, you're being cruel." The Gunslinger pointed at me and said, "It doesn't matter if you destroy my city, today I will ask you to pay me back all your capital and profits."

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

"You...!" The gunman suddenly pointed his gun at me and planned to kill me with one shot, but his actions quickly froze. Because the foot of the city wall suddenly shook. A row of holes suddenly opened in front of the gun god, and a three-meter-high metal column popped out of each hole. As soon as the metal columns were raised, the ground reclosed to fix the columns. At the same time, the tops of the columns suddenly spread out in all directions, forming a bowl-shaped structure. With a buzzing sound, a purple crystal stone like an olive stone appeared in the small bowl on top of each pillar. At the same time, these crystal stones lit up quickly, and red electric balls appeared around them, rotating at high speed around the crystals. Looking at these crystal spears suspended in mid-air, God already knew what they were.

Yusina, who had been following the Gunslinger, pulled the Gunslinger back: "That's the Electric God Pillar. It's better not to be impulsive. We can't deal with city-level defensive weapons!"

"I know!" The gunman put down his gun dejectedly.

I lay on the edge of the city wall and looked down at him, deliberately provoking him. "Haha! Why don't you shoot? Come on? I'm right here. Are you going to shoot? Don't be afraid! Are you afraid of little things like that?"

The gun god made a crackling sound when he squeezed his hand, but he didn't dare to move. He also knows that these things are not easy to mess with, so it is better to tolerate them. After snorting, he didn't say anything and led the people back again. As a result, the players on our side let out a burst of boos on the top of the city wall. The angry gunman turned around and tried to rush back, but was forced to do so. The companion fought back.

After returning to the main formation, the gunman stopped struggling. The Oriental man was leaning on a rocking chair and said calmly: "I told you not to go. You can't scold him. Think about what that kid did." You know it. He has been doing business as a middleman. Do you think that such a population will be poor? What age are you in, and you are still going to call the two armies to form a formation? Is that necessary? "

"Whose side are you from? How could you hit me so close?"

"Anyway, I'm not from your side." The Easterner casually threw away the core of the fruit he had just finished eating. "I told you before that I'm just a consultant you hired. I provide advice for your actions. Whether you adopt it or not is your business. Once the contract expires, I won't have to follow you, so I'm not yours. I am not from Ziri. I am still a free man now and will always be in the future. Do you understand?"

Yusina immediately said: "Your plan to level the mountains has shown that your strategy is very effective. If we fight according to our own method, we may not be able to reach the city wall and we will have to reduce one-fifth of our strength. However, now the city is already under the city wall. We are in front of us, so please be more serious and help us think of any way to break in, right?"

"The easiest way is to attack by force and use people to pile up. Of course, you probably don't have enough people here to pile into the city. So my suggestion is to mix the special operations personnel with the general troops, and then the special operations personnel forcefully enter the city wall. Even if they can't control the city wall, they can at least buy time for the people below without causing too many casualties. The most dangerous thing about Rock City is the outer city wall. As long as you enter, it will be easy."

When Yusina heard this, she immediately asked in surprise: "You haven't seen Isengard?"

"Why should I meet Isengard?" The Easterner asked proudly.

"Don't you know that Isengard has three walls?"

"Three ways?" The Easterner was obviously stunned for a moment. He changed his previous casualness and sat up from the rocking chair, then immediately went to the temporary camp to take out the map and unfold it, and then asked someone to take out Essinger's rough drawing and explain it to him. After listening for a while, he said: "I'm careless! I didn't expect that there is such a city. I always thought that the thickness and height of the city wall outside Essinger were exaggerated! I didn't expect it to be so troublesome! Since Rock City is Aisinger It’s a replica of Singer’s hair, which means the structure is the same, right?”

Yusina said: "We have never entered Rock City, but the city is a replica of the system rewards, and there should be no mistakes. Moreover, according to the reactions of the spies we sent to the interior of Frost, Essinger is far from what we thought. Simple."

"Three city walls are indeed not simple." The Easterner nodded and admitted.

"It's not a problem with the city wall." Yusina said: "According to spy reports, there is an underground city in Essinger, and it has more than one floor. Our spies have only entered three underground floors at most, and there seem to be many more floors below. , but the NPC utilization rate of the Frost guild is too high, and it is difficult for our player spies to blend in. Also, you should have seen that there is a symmetrical inverted city above the Rock City. The city above and the city below The cities are called mirror twin cities. They can support each other during battles, and their connection point is only a central Soul Gathering Tower besides the teleportation array. If we attack, the teleportation array will definitely be closed. We want to capture the Spirit Gathering Tower. It probably won’t be easy to climb up again. So…!”

"That's really difficult!"

"This is still a small problem." The Gunslinger said: "Based on previous experience, Essinger has something that can destroy all enemies within a certain range in an instant. We don't know the specific range, but it can definitely cover the entire city. And it can also Automatically distinguish between friend and foe. So if we really attack, they will definitely activate it once. Fortunately, that thing either has a cooldown time or is a special cost, anyway, it cannot be used continuously. But this means that we have to occupy the city at least twice Only then can we completely control it, so it is best to divide the current troops into three parts, use two parts for the first occupation, and save the last part for another occupation.”

The Oriental man nodded and said: "It seems you are not really that stupid! If that's the case, then that's it...!"

The Gunslinger discussed with the guy for more than an hour before he started assigning tasks. Everyone received very detailed mission instructions, but problems arose before the battle even started. A red beam of light suddenly appeared in the supply camp behind the military formation. As soon as the gunman saw the thing, he immediately shouted: "Get out of the way, that's the laser sight line."

The United States is flooded with guns, and everyone knows about laser sights. Although the description of the gun god is not very accurate, the effect is still achieved. The surrounding players began to quickly command the NPCs to pull the horses away to the position where the light shines, but that The beam of light kept following the movement of these carriages and things. Sudden. The clouds in the sky spread into a hole. A white light bomb hit straight down, hitting the spot where the beam was shining.

"Lie down!"

There was a bang. The white light bomb landed next to a carriage pulling cannonballs. The cannonballs on the car were detonated instantly, and the shock wave directly lifted the surrounding carriages away. Before the chaos was over, the beam of light suddenly moved to the tent next to the gun god. The gun god quickly picked up the oriental man and jumped out. The white light bullet arrived shortly after and blew up the tent in one fell swoop. of falling apart.

"What is this? A beheading operation?" the Oriental man complained as he got up from the ground.

Yusina explained: "This is the Tower of Babel of the Frost Rose Alliance. According to the analysis of the data we have, its characteristics are similar to a space-based weapon. It seems to be able to attack any target around the world."

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" While the Eastern man was speaking, several more places were attacked intensively.

"Actually, this thing's role as a reconnaissance satellite is far greater than its attack power." Yusina said: "But the problem is that its ability to strike at will has a great impact on morale!"

"Don't worry, this thing can't fire a few shots." The gunman knows the situation of our guild very well, and he also knows that the unique characteristics of the Babel Tower are that it cannot be used continuously. Sure enough, the attack was over soon. The damage caused was actually not large, but the impact on combat effectiveness was very serious, because basically the ones hit were baggage carriages, and all of them were ammunition carriages.

Because I am worried about what tricks we will play again. The Gunslinger simply calmed down the army and then began to order the attack. Of course, the tactical guidance of the military advisor had also been notified.

"I'm finally willing to move!" Zhenhong, who was almost asleep on the top of Rock City, finally regained his energy.

Jin Coin also geared up and said, "Let's see how I deal with them this time."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. These two girls were really more violent than the other. However, I am also very concerned about the activities below, but the content I pay attention to is somewhat different. What I care more about is what methods American players will use to deal with the outermost wall of Rock City. The city wall, which is more than 400 meters high, is already a mountain. The thickness of two kilometers ensures that even if it is hit by the forbidden curse, it will collapse in a small area at most and will not be completely crossed. With such a city wall lying across the front, I don't know what method the Gunslinger will use to attack. Column and ladder could not reach the top of the wall. The gate of the Broken Dragon Stone structure cannot be opened by hitting the ground with a city rush vehicle. Are they still planning to climb up?

Seeing the American players below coming in like a tide, without any strategy or tactics at all, are they really planning to build a slope with people? Shaking his head, he waved away his speculation. All I can do now is stay the same and change. No matter what methods the American players use, I will just take advantage of them.

The chaotic motley army quickly entered the city limits, but our side didn't even start the artillery fire. It's a bit wasteful to waste the shocking effect of the first round of shelling on these miscellaneous soldiers. There is no need for them yet. When the chaotic soldiers shouted and rushed to the foot of the city wall, the thing that originally scared away the Gunslinger and Yusina popped out again, and at the same time, the crystal lit up with a dazzling light.

Bang...a terrifying lightning arc flashed through the crowd approaching these metal rods. Those who were hit immediately turned into burning torches. High-voltage electricity can not only kill people. It can also directly set fire to charred corpses.

After seeing the tragic situation of the first batch of dead troops, the gunman finally began to feel lucky that he didn't shoot me just now, otherwise he would be one of those charred corpses now.

The killing speed of the Electric God Pillar can only be described as terrifying. Even with such a crazy impact, no one can take a step beyond the thunder pool. A large number of charred corpses fell in front of the electric pillar. Speaking of which, this thing is actually useless. According to different materials, each electric pillar has its own level. When the Electric God Pillar kills people below its own level, its efficiency is probably unmatched by any other weapon, but for people above its own level, the Electric God Pillar is a complete decoration. However, those who were attacking now were all miscellaneous soldiers. The Electric God Pillar was simply engaged in a massacre. After a while, a mountain of corpses was piled up under the city wall.

Just under the city wall in this chaotic place. Some special personnel suddenly carefully moved their belongings under the city wall. One player put the strange-shaped iron plate in his hand on the ground. Four people next to him immediately carried a long pipe and placed it on the iron plate and connected them. The players behind him successively sent several parts. This thing was put together in no time.

If you look closely, you will find that this thing looks like a mortar, but of course it is not a mortar. I saw a player move out a strange-looking thing. This thing looked like a shrunken strap-on launch vehicle, with a rope attached to the center part. The rope lay on the ground. There is a big volume. The two players made some adjustments to the thing and then put the shells in it. Just lost it. The player immediately turned around and squatted down with his head in his hands. Hearing a bang in the air behind him, the rope-tipped cannonball flew straight to the top of the city wall, and the rope on the ground was being pulled up at a very fast speed.

The cannonballs flew pretty well at first, but the city wall, which is more than 400 meters high, is not easy after all. Moreover, there is a rope trailing behind the cannonballs, and they seem to fall down only halfway through the flight. However, just when everyone thought that this thing couldn't come up, a long flame actually spurted out from behind the thing. The specially treated cable is not afraid of fire. The cannonball dragging the rope rushed to the top of the wall at lightning speed, and then suddenly exploded in mid-air, scattering a black rain.

"It's a cluster bomb!" Jin Coin couldn't help but cursed.

Don’t blame the gold coins either. The cannonball dragging the rope exploded and actually threw out a bunch of small objects. The gold coins were not a physical attack profession, so of course they would be scared. However, the small black dots thrown by the cannonballs did not explode when they hit the ground, but instead made a long series of impact sounds on the ground. When we settled down and took a look, this was not a bomb! The cannonballs threw out all nails, and each nail was connected to a rope end, which was finally put together to form a large rope connected to the city wall.

I finally understood what this thing was for. These are the grapple guns with rocket extended range. The wall of Rock City is too high, and it is impossible to throw things up with flying claws. The only thing that can be considered is a rope that is launched with mechanical power. The Americans are more experienced in this area, so they quickly developed special rockets that can fire rope hooks. As for those loose nails, it's all for insurance. Even if a rope hook catches something, once the opponent pulls out the rope hook, the person who is halfway up will definitely fall to death. But this kind of shotgun is different. Each rope end on the rope is connected to a nail, and each nail is driven into the ground. If you want to break the rope, you have to cut the thickest main cable or remove those nails. Cutting off the ropes one by one is a tiring job.

"Oh, do Americans have a good idea?" Zhenhong looked from the edge of the city wall at the ropes stretched like ribbons under the city wall. The entire front of Rock City was roped up almost simultaneously for thousands of days, and almost all of them were successfully hung. It's probably not easy to catch the rivets that are shooting out like these.

The players and NPCs on our side were shocked at first, but after reacting, they immediately began to cut the rope in front of them desperately, and found that they couldn't stop doing it. These ropes are specially processed and are extremely strong. Not only are they not afraid of fire, but it also takes half a day to cut off several of the rope ends, which has little effect on the main cable.

The American players below noticed that we couldn't cut the rope, and immediately started to climb up the rope with pride. People's physical strength in the game is much better than in reality. Even at a low level, it is much stronger than in the real world, so things like climbing ropes are simply not worth mentioning to players. Seeing players crawling on the white rope tied at the top of the city, I couldn't help but think of the mice stealing sesame oil. Thinking of mice, I suddenly had another idea. Since this rope is not afraid of fire, then the player is always afraid of fire, right?

The archers first used long-range attacks to suppress the enemies climbing up the rope. Under my command, a large amount of kerosene was quickly sent from the city and distributed to various wall sections.

Jin Coin looked at me in confusion and asked, "Why do you want kerosene?"

"You'll know soon." I carefully picked up the jar of kerosene, then pointed the outlet toward the rope and slowly poured it down. I poured it very slowly. After the kerosene flowed onto the rope, it did not drip down, but began to flow down the rope.

An American player who was halfway up the climb suddenly noticed that his hands were greasy. He put his head up and smelled it, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was already too late. I put a small fireball on the top of the city wall against the rope covered with kerosene, and then the flame immediately burned along the kerosene on the rope.

The more than a thousand ropes that were 'shot' to the top of the city wall turned into more than a thousand fire ropes. The players hanging on them were all burnt and fell down. No one dared to climb the ropes anymore.

"Master Military Advisor, your strategy doesn't seem to work very well, does it?" the Gunslinger said to the Easterner in a bad tone.
