Chapter five hundred and sixty-one, menacing
At the same time, outside Gaoling City, a siege battle was staged.
They are different from the short houses in the city that match their height.
In order to protect their own lives, these timid goblins built the walls of Gaoling City extremely tall and towering.
The most exaggerated thing is that in order to place as many defense equipment as possible, the width of the city wall is extremely exaggerated, even exceeding the scale of the city wall of Mirror City.
Who knows how much manpower and material resources Gawain spent on this wall.
If it weren't for the goblin civilization being a special civilization that excels in technology and technology.
For an ordinary civilization at that stage, it would have been impossible to build such a city wall.
It can simply be said to be the crystallization of the technological power of their goblin civilization.
Facing such a city wall, Zhang Zhenguo's psychological pressure began to rise even before the intruder started fighting.
However, after all, he is also an experienced driver who has been struggling in the bronze rank for decades.
It's not like I'm going to be scared off just because of this little battle.
Now his civilization is in desperate need of a large amount of resources.
I had beaten four or five rookies in a row before, but it turned out that I was exhausted and didn't get many resources.
Although one of them won, from the perspective of profit, he felt that he was losing money.
In other words, those weaklings in the Bronze rank have been squeezed out.
If we continue to fight, we won't be able to grab many resources.
In this way, he had no choice but to urgently need resources, so he could only set his sights on these less trivial targets.
And this Luo Ji, although he was in the limelight some time ago, but compared with those big guys who have always dominated the top two hundred, he is a newly promoted person after all, and his background in thinking is still shallow, so he should be able to make some moves.
In the final analysis, among a box of hard persimmons, Luo Ji was singled out as the softest one.
Although Zhang Zhenguo did not go out in full force in this wave of invasion, it was still fierce.
Obviously, he was forced by the situation where his own civilization was in urgent need of resources.
Five thousand troops were directly dispatched to suppress the formation, plus seven siege equipment.
It’s completely like ‘I want to take a piece of meat from you no matter what!’!
A military formation of five thousand troops quickly formed.
Seven siege engines began to roll out from the rear.
Through the telescope in his hand, Guo Zhen saw clearly what was going on outside the city, with a solemn expression on his face.
The siege formation on the opposite side is a bit big.
He looked back at the wall under his feet, which was so spacious that it could almost fit a horse, as well as the defensive equipment made by goblin technology on the wall.
Guo Zhen felt a little more confident.
Although once the distance is shortened, these defensive equipment are basically useless.
But at least at a long distance, it can still give the enemy a sufficient blow.
Regarding the operation of the city defense equipment, Guo Zhen left all operations to the goblin soldiers in Kaoling City.
Fight head-on on the battlefield.
These short, thin goblin soldiers are vulnerable to attack.
But when it comes to operating these large ordnance, he is a good hand, and every movement is very neat.
As soon as the opponent entered the shooting range, the catapults and three-bow crossbows on the city wall began to bombard the outside of the city indiscriminately.
The entire process did not require Guo Zhen to say even a single word.
Because the goblin civilization used to rely on this method to forcefully dissuade invading players!
This indiscriminate bombardment directly destroyed half of the seven siege equipment pushed up from the opposite side.
Zhang Zhenguo, who was in the back, felt his heart beat violently.
"Fuck! How many defense weapons are placed on the wall opposite?"
At this time, if you change to a rookie without a rank, or a newcomer who has just reached the Bronze rank.
Faced with such a battle, one would probably have to persuade the other to retreat.
But facing a veteran like Zhang Zhenguo, after seeing all kinds of tricks, it is not that easy to persuade him to quit.
Not to mention that at least hundreds of thousands of military expenses were spent on this trip. How could he just leave?
Sure enough, the opponent had no intention of retreating.
Accompanied by an attack horn.
The other side quickly evacuated their four thousand troops into small square formations.
Greatly reduced the hit rate of catapults and three-bow crossbows.
Then the large shield soldiers led the way in front, and the siege troops in the rear carried ladders and pushed siege vehicles, and quickly launched an offensive towards Gaoling City!
Guo Zhen's heart sank when he saw this.
"Archer troops prepare!"
Then look for the moment when the opponent's siege troops enter the shooting range...
"Shoot me an arrow!!"
A hail of arrows shot towards the outside of the city one after another.
But the siege troops outside were also very tenacious, maintaining the posture of advancing with their shields raised, and moving closer to the gate of Gaoling City step by step!
After advancing to a certain distance, the enemy's archer troops also fought back and began shooting arrows at the top of the wall of Gaoling City.
Holding a large bronze shield in his hand, Guo Zhen gritted his teeth as he blocked two rounds of arrows.
With the small amount of troops in his hands, he could not stop the advance of the siege troops on the opposite side.
Looking at this situation, a close fight is inevitable.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. Going out to attack the city clearly had no chance of winning.
In this way, we can only defend a wave of city walls!
Seeing that the other party was about to be pushed under the city wall.
Guo Zhen quickly waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers on the wall to move up rolling logs and rocks to greet them.
Shout loudly at the same time...
"Keep an eye on each wall, don't let the ladder on the opposite side come up!!"
Guo Zhen holds a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. He has the power to hold a barrier and prevent ten thousand people from opening it.
With a strong general like him guarding a wall, it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to rush up.
The other soldiers concentrated on guarding the remaining locations.
For a while, the battle was very tense.
On the top of the wall outside the city, a man wearing light armor and a long sword hung on his waist. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said to Zhang Zhenguo...
"Your Majesty, the enemy's defenders are fighting tenaciously. It may be difficult to capture the city wall today. It is better to retreat temporarily, take a short rest, and then fight another day."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhenguo, who was wearing bronze armor, looked ugly for a while.
"Let's fight another day? Military advisor, you know we have no time!"
He did a stupid thing before, which directly caused the various resources within his civilization to fall into a state of extreme scarcity.
In the previous invasions, we only attacked small fish and shrimps, and the resources we grabbed were only a drop in the bucket.
In other words, if he can't grab a lot of resources to fill this gap, he will collapse! How can he not be anxious?
Looking at the already confused Zhang Zhenguo, the man known as the military advisor sighed secretly in his heart, and then spoke again...
"Your Majesty, haste makes waste. The enemy's city defense forces have consumed a lot of city defense resources in this battle. Next time we fight, we will definitely be able to fight much easier."
"Furthermore, Youdao is a force that works hard in one go, then weakens again and again, and is exhausted again and again. Now the morale of our army is low. If we continue to fight, there is no chance of victory. It will only increase casualties."
