Chapter 83: Offensive Battle
Since the headhunter's side quest has been completed, Feilai will naturally lead the headhunters to meet with Thrall. It is worth mentioning that the system is also very stingy. After killing a captain-level monster, nothing is given except experience, which makes Feilai quite depressed...
For the time being, let's shift our attention to the players of Crazy Axe.
The buildings of the laborers have been completed. Five laborers began to go back and forth between the gold mine and the hall, busy collecting gold coins, while the hall produced new laborers and started cutting wood, and the war mill was also started to be built. At the same time, the barracks have also started to operate to compensate Thrall for the troops! Looking at this situation, Crazy Axe guessed that there will definitely be a large-scale battle later.
Crazy Axe's guess was soon verified. His guess was correct in some places. It was indeed a large-scale battle, but that battle was not a simple field battle or encounter battle.
Ding Dong: The copy mission has been updated. The soldiers on the front line have discovered a human base. These humans who think they are superior have always used swords and knives to fight against the orcs! If you want to stay here, you must drive them away, or even destroy them! Players assist Thrall and his troops to capture the human sub-base.
Seeing the system prompts, everyone didn't have any ideas. They thought that they just had to continue to the next link and follow the prompts of the task. However, is it really like this?
When the tenth beast soldier walked out of the barracks, including the first five beast soldiers, Thrall already had fifteen beast soldiers, which exceeded the number of a team! Moreover, Feilai just came back with the headhunters! As soon as these headhunters came, they joined Thrall's combat troops! Although not all the headhunters came in, there were a full ten! At this general glance, Thrall's troops are already quite strong! Some players even think that the next battle can probably be solved by Thrall's troops, right?
However, Feilai and Crazy Axe don't think so. If the copy is really so easy, then the battle they encountered before is unnecessary. Wouldn't it be enough to let Thrall lead more units or eliminate that battle? The dungeon is not for players to come in and watch the show. The biggest possibility is that the next battle will be very difficult.
Following Thrall's troops, everyone left the base and walked forward for nearly two minutes. Finally, they found the human units. However, when they saw the other side, all the players frowned.
The terrain on the screen is an extremely narrow bridge, which can only allow three beast soldiers to stand side by side at most. On this side of the bridge, there is first a huge city gate blocking it. On the other side, there are nearly ten infantrymen and five or six musketeers, and next to them, there are ten defensive arrow towers!
Ten arrow towers are used to defend a bridge that can only allow three beast soldiers to stand side by side! The system setting is simply crazy! The attack speed and attack of the arrow tower itself are much higher than that of the unit! In addition to the number, it is impossible to force through with Thrall's troops!
Thrall: Damn it, humans always like to defend in such places. If we force an attack, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price! Warriors, do you have any ideas?
A dialogue from Thrall appeared on the information bar. Obviously, the battle to attack this bridge will fall on the players.
Faced with this problem, the players all had a headache. Even if it was not necessary, there was no good way to deal with such a situation. What is needed for an attack is an overall strategy, and the role that personal strength can play in it is relatively much smaller.
Crazy Axe has been thinking all the time. He still has a little experience in controlling the overall situation.
The first problem to be solved is the gate on the bridge side. Crazy Axe has already had a way to deal with this problem: the length of the bridge is about 300 yards, and the attack range of these arrow towers is 900 yards. In this way, just let the long-range units attack. Relying on their range, even if they are hit by the arrow tower, they are at the edge. Once they are in danger, they can retreat immediately.
The second question is the most important one, how to break through. The combination of infantry and musketeers is enough to form an effective interception. Now with the addition of defense towers, the opponent's output is extremely terrifying! It is estimated that if a beast soldier goes up, the arrow tower and the musket will attack him directly!
Let's solve the city gate first!
After thinking for a long time, there is still no result, so Crazy Axe simply takes one step at a time.
"Come over, long-range units, break the city gate first. You have the advantage of range, and you are just standing at the edge of the arrow tower's attack range." Crazy Axe roughly explained the idea of breaking through the city gate. The players present were all good at operation and easily understood what Crazy Axe meant. Immediately, all the long-range units moved and began to attack the city gate.
As these units stepped into the attack range of the arrow tower, a large number of arrows flew over instantly! However, the number of long-range units is not small, and the heroes and mercenaries together exceed ten. Once the attack of the arrow tower is dispersed, it will not be a threat!
The ranged units had just started the first wave of attack, and seeing the attack from the arrow tower, Crazy Axe suddenly thought of a way to solve the second problem!
The health of the city gate is not low, a full three thousand! And it has five points of city armor, which means it can hold out for even longer! Fortunately, the system does not stipulate the length of time, so just grind it down slowly.
One minute passed quickly, and the health of the city gate had been consumed by more than six hundred. At this rate, the city gate can be broken in less than five minutes. On the other hand, the ranged units did not receive any major damage, and their health was in a very good state. The melee heroes behind could not go up, and they were all responsible for using potions to replenish their supplies!
At this time, in order to ensure that the solution to the second problem is feasible, Crazy Axe will do some tests next!
Controlling his hero to move forward, he went straight beyond the position of the ranged unit, and continued to move forward! Crazy Axe's sudden action surprised all the players. But what surprised them even more was that the Crazy Axe had already exceeded the position of the ranged unit by more than two hundred yards, but none of the arrow towers attacked him! He still attacked the unit selected by the grid!
It really works!
After confirming that his idea was correct, Crazy Axe was very happy, which meant that the second problem had been solved! Next, just wait for the city gate to be breached!
This is the fourth chapter of today. Then, adding up the new day, there are still three chapters to go, which is not too much. I have been working hard to pay off the debt these two days, and the effect is pretty good. .
Going to sleep...
