Chapter 251 The tactics of the coalition forces
When they realized that this was tincture oil, they immediately thought of the purpose of the enemy projecting such a large amount of tincture oil on the battlefield. So the foreigners' screams of despair came one after another: "oh!no--"
But Zhou Yu did not have any mercy intentions and continued to order: "Star the rockets--" Then he saw that the heavy arrows on the crossbow were replaced with rockets tied with linen dipped in tinder oil, flying like fire dragons toward the coalition forces of various countries that had begun to panic!
As soon as the fire dragons landed, the fire spread rapidly. The battlefield covered with tinder oil turned into a hell on earth in the blink of an eye. Those wooden siege equipment had no chance of surviving and were quickly burned to ashes. As for those foreign players, they would not really feel the feeling of being grilled by fire like NPCs. Apart from feeling hot, they would only see their health drop rapidly, and then they turned into a white light and disappeared on the battlefield.
Since there was a clearing ground around the base, there was no other combustible substance except the equipment pushed by the enemy, the fire came and went quickly. In less than ten minutes, except for the catapults, snails and other equipment that were still burning, the fires in the rest of the places were all extinguished.
But it was in less than ten minutes that the first wave of attack troops sent by the coalition forces were wiped out, and the losses of millions of people in four directions were second. The losses of those siege equipment were definitely a heavy blow to the coalition forces: except for the long distances of the crossbows, the losses of the other catapults, stalkers, and rushing vehicles were at least equivalent to the output of ten days in their base! It accounted for one-third of the original total!
Of course, although this loss is very heavy for the coalition forces, it can be afforded. However, with this lesson, they would never dare to fight with Yunze Army on the position of position with Yunze Army before they were sure that the turbulent oil of Yunze Army was used up, for fear that Yunze Army would launch such a powerful weapon again when they gathered together.
The inability to engage in positional war does not mean that the coalition forces will stop attacking the base. They finally gathered together again. If they could not take back the base while Wenmin had no time to take care of it, the alliance they had just formed could be disbanded on the spot.
So in addition to continuing to surround the base, they also sent small groups of troops to harass them. As long as there was a slackness in the Yunze Army, they would gather their troops to break through this place. Once the Yunze Army reacted and began to concentrate their forces to counterattack, they would retreat immediately to force the defenders to remain nervous and disperse their energy.
At the same time, they were inspired by Yun Zejun and knew that tinder oil, a daily necessities that could be seen everywhere in grocery stores, could play such a huge role on the battlefield, so they also began to collect tinder oil everywhere in their respective game areas. Especially in some countries in the Middle East, when they saw the power of Yunze Army's tinder oil, they immediately thought of their own specialty - oil. It is said that as early as when Babylonian civilians, people there had already used oil as weapons. This thing is much easier to use than tinder oil. Once it is contaminated, it is as difficult to get rid of like dog skin plaster. And it is very resistant to burning. The impurities in it can produce toxic gases when burning, and even if they can't burn it, you can poison you!
When so many regions and so many countries have all operated, the energy generated is not comparable to that of a lonely man like Wenmin: in less than a day, they collected a large amount of tincture oil, especially the Middle Eastern countries, which contributed countless oil to the coalition forces and continued to supplement them later. So now if the coalition forces want to adopt fire attacks, it can almost be said to have inexhaustible tincture oil and oil.
This is not enough. How to put these tincture oil and oil on the city wall is the most critical issue. It is definitely not possible to smash it with a catapult like Yun Zejun, because their range is not as good as others. If they do so, they will be buried in the fire again before they get close. The tincture oil they carry has no other effect except burning itself a little more tragic.
Of course, the commanders in the coalition were not all of them. They quickly came up with a solution: Didn’t you have a range advantage over us because of the height of the city wall? Although we cannot build a city wall in a short time, it is okay to make a pile of earth? As long as the height of the pile exceeds the wall outside the range of the defender’s catapult cart, can’t the advantage of the defender’s army be offset? Although this is also a huge project, the coalition forces are crowded, so it is okay to pile up a sufficient number of piles of earth in one direction?
Do it as soon as possible. With the order of the coalition command, all the players of the coalition forces took action. Although they did not have any modern tools, because they were in the game, people would not feel tired at all. Moreover, the various attributes of the characters in the game were much stronger than in reality. Even if each person carried one or two hundred kilograms with his bare hands, it was not a problem. As time passed, the piles of soil rose from the ground. It would not take long for them to catch up or even exceed the height of the city wall. At that time, the only advantage of defending the Yunze army relying on was no longer there, and they would be in a passive situation of being beaten.
When the coalition forces first started to operate, Zhou Yu guessed their plans, but there was no anxious look on his face, and he looked completely confident. However, when someone asked him what he should do, he just smiled and asked them to wait and see.
On the third day after the coalition began the attack, they finally piled up piles of soil that could accommodate a certain number of catapults and crossbows. After nearly forty hours of hard work, they finally completed this huge project! On the east side of the National War No. 1 base, there were densely packed piles of soil, some even connected together to form a wide platform.
Because there is enough space outside the city, these mounds form a strip of about ten kilometers long and more than one hundred meters wide, and the space where the casting cart or crossbow cart can be placed ten times that of the city wall! At that time, if both sides conduct long-range equipment bombing, they can crush the Yunze army on the city wall in terms of quantity and range. At this time, the Yunze army's difficulty in destroying these platforms is no less than capturing a solid city, which is almost an impossible task for the defenders with a huge gap in number and the coalition forces.
Looking at the successful platform, the coalition forces went up to the heads of the command center and ordinary players, all excited. Davis said to the other leaders proudly: "I heard that there is an idiom in China called 'one force to reduce ten benefits'. Although our method is a little stupid, it is obviously the most effective. I really couldn't think of any other way to crack our 'fence tactics'. I guess the commander of China on the opposite side would be so worried, right? Hahaha..."
Frans also echoed excitedly: "Davis is right! And I heard that the commander is still a god-level npc. Haha, in my opinion, those npcs are npcs. Even if they are god-level, they are only the points that we play with. Come, let us celebrate in advance!"
"Everyone, let's not be busy celebrating first. Hurry up and organize people to transport the equipment to the platform and start an attack. I can't wait to see the helpless look of the enemies in the base!" Bamara interrupted and urged.
So at the urging of the coalition command, the coalition forces were busy transporting the catapults and crossbows to the platform. However, this time, most of the platforms were transported on the platform, because their "fences" were built outside the range of the crossbows in the city. Even if their platform exceeds the defenders in height, they were not enough to allow the catapults to attack the city wall. The main purpose of placing the catapults is to prevent Yunze Army from rushing out.
