Chapter 812 Hundreds of Thousands of Targets
"Spinning and jumping, I closed my eyes. I decided to fight with my eyes closed. If it's too scary later, I'll close my eyes too!"
I heard a lot of newbies using my player radar, and they seemed to be planning to hit them with their eyes closed. Flynn was also very speechless.
"It's understandable to be nervous. I'm a veteran player, so I'm not a little nervous. After all, it's my first time to fight such a big battle."
"Don't be afraid, newbies, you can just follow me later and see how the Double Moon Sword Technique I recently learned kills everyone on the battlefield!"
"But... I haven't killed anyone yet. This game is too real. I don't know if I can adapt to the feeling of killing. I'm a little worried."
"Ah! I got an arrow in the knee!"
"Aoli gives!"
"Hold on, be careful to avoid arrows!"
There are many new players and many old players. The characteristic of this charge is that new and old players with vastly different combat capabilities are mixed together.
The mass charge of hundreds of thousands of players was very huge, and thanks to the vast plains in front of the Maginot Line, it would otherwise not be able to accommodate so many people charging together.
More than 100,000 people couldn't perform it, so they had to queue up in a long queue.
But there is an open plain ahead, which is definitely not good news for Flynn on the defensive side.
At the same time, the huge battlefield is a huge challenge to the commander-in-chief of both sides.
The commander-in-chief cannot take care of all aspects, nor can he concentrate all the forces together.
From this point of view, the number of enemies that the hundreds of thousands of players who rush out spontaneously need to face is not 100,000 versus 2 million.
Maybe hundreds of thousands, versus three to five million.
But despite this, Flynn was still not optimistic about this group of mobs who did not obey the arrangements and spontaneously rushed out to kill.
Because on the extremely wide plain ahead, an uncovered charge can easily become a living target. Obviously, before the official battle begins, this group of players will encounter a torrential rain of long-range firepower from the empire.
If the morale of the indigenous miscellaneous army is quite average, the dense rain of arrows in the sky is enough to defeat the miscellaneous army.
However, the players are not willing to sacrifice their lives, and they are not stupid. They know that they will definitely be shot into dogs on the way forward.
Their idea is that although they are living targets during the charge, the other brothers around them are also living targets.
There are hundreds of thousands of targets on site, even if there are hundreds of thousands of pigs, the empire will have to shoot for three days and three nights, right?
The two heavily armed groups advanced despite the threat of artillery fire, but there was no cluster bombardment of artillery fire that everyone had worried about at the beginning.
Within the Imperial position, the catapults that had been bombarding for several hours were still throwing ammunition towards the top of the Maginot Line.
Instead of adjusting the parabola, it is used to bombard charging players.
To a certain extent, this shows that the movement and steering of those catapults are inconvenient and may also be difficult to adjust.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to point a catapult at hundreds of thousands of defenseless people who are charging and blast them randomly?
But there is also a possibility that the empire does not care at all about the charge of hundreds of thousands of people.
They have enough confidence to deal with hundreds of thousands of players charging into the battle.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the empire, these so-called brave men from the small border country of Iron Qiu Kingdom are just a bunch of local chickens and dogs.
After charging for a certain distance, the Empire attacked first, and they launched a super-intense arrow rain.
How dense is it?
It's very similar to the rain of arrows from the Qin army in the movie Heroes.
It's just that the scale of this round of arrow rain is even more exaggerated than the exaggerated performance in the movie.
This can no longer be said to be a rain of arrows, but must be said to be a copper wall composed of bows and arrows.
The arrows with infinite lethality came overwhelmingly, leaving no gaps!
According to Flynn's visual inspection, at least hundreds of thousands of arrows were fired from the imperial army at the charging warriors.
Almost every brave man was hit by a bow and arrow.
Although each bow and arrow is not very powerful when taken alone.
Many arrows, after shooting a parabola, can only be blocked by the armor and cannot break the defense at all.
But you must know that quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes.
Maybe the helmet can withstand arrows, maybe the breastplate can withstand arrows, but at least players still have their hands and faces.
There are also those joints that will be attacked by bows and arrows.
Not every player is equipped with heavy armor that covers the entire body.
In fact, even among veteran players, only those heavy-armed warrior players who specialize in charging into battle and have a certain economic foundation will equip themselves with full-body plate armor.
Most players will only pack a few key parts of themselves, such as chest, shoulders, arms, thighs, etc.
After all, full-body, high-quality armor is expensive, troublesome to maintain, and the daily wearing experience is not very good.
Many players are not willing to equip it.
Putting aside a few, most of them were non-heavy warrior players who only had some armor on their bodies, and the damage they suffered from bow and arrow attacks was still very obvious.
Not to mention that among the hundreds of thousands of players, there are brothers wearing simple chain armor, chain mail, and pierced armor.
Many mages, rangers, etc. only wear leather armor or even cloth robes.
Such lightly equipped players will suffer heavy losses when faced with a hail of arrows.
Fortunately, players have rough skin and thick flesh, and their pain is not too painful. Even if they are hit by bows and arrows, they will not lose their combat effectiveness due to pain.
But this does not mean that players will not die!
After being hit by several arrows. The lame leg should be lame, the bleeding should be bleeding, the vital part should be directly hit, and the one who should be thrown into the street will be thrown into the street on the spot!
Therefore, under the attack of the empire's arrows, the attrition was still obvious.
A round of arrows rained down, and Flynn visually estimated that at least tens of thousands of players were injured due to the strikes of bows and arrows.
Thousands of people were shot to death directly in the first wave of arrows.
It has to be said that the killing effect of this super dense arrow rain is indeed very powerful.
Sure enough, as long as the quantity reaches a certain level, it is the absolute king!
Flynn didn't know how the empire's army could achieve such a large-scale intensive archery.
This level is definitely not something that the empire's archer troops can shoot normally.
Could it be that the empire has special archery equipment?
The first wave of arrows caused heavy losses and was a spiritual blow!
Under the rain of arrows, many people were killed and howled like ghosts and wolves.
Many new players, especially those who blindly follow the trend, experienced such a large-scale battle for the first time and saw large-scale flesh and blood.
It's so direct that I'm confused.
And this is just the beginning of the empire.
