Chapter 148
Accompanied by a series of dense whistling, a whole piece of stone bullets flew directly from behind the ancient city wall of the Tiebi Tribe and attacked the archer troops located on the high ground outside the city.
"Grass! It's actually a slinger?" Zhang Yisheng was shocked, but he was not unprepared. After all, he was also an archer by profession, so he would definitely consider the safety of the archer unit seriously and leave a special team. The shield-wielding melee units are responsible for the safety of the archer troops in the rear.
Now that the enemy's long-range attack is coming, he doesn't need to say anything at all. The shield-holding troops responsible for protecting them are already raising their shields for defense at the first time.
The heavy stone bullets kept hitting the shield, and the force of the impact transmitted through the shield made the soldiers holding the shield feel uncomfortable for a while, "Boss, the other side's slinger's attack is a bit powerful. Soon!"
Hearing the report from the commander of the shield-bearing troops, Zhang Yisheng's face sank, and then he decisively ordered, "The siege troops in front continue to advance, and the archers and shield-bearing troops retreat thirty steps!"
The troops under his command moved quickly under his order, Zhang Yisheng retreated, but couldn't help but muttered in his heart, "Damn! What the hell? Since this Luo Ji can build the ancient city wall, it means that he is also an old man. Player, why are you still using slingers?"
But in any case, the siege battle has already started, so there is no reason to be counseled. The archer is his specially strengthened unit, coupled with his silver-level 'Archer Proficient' skill, even if he retreats 30 steps, the range will be reduced. Influence power, but he can still threaten the defense forces behind the ancient city wall of the other side, and compared to the other side, the threat posed to him by the slingers of the other side is greatly reduced.
"Archer troops, keep shooting arrows!"
"Commander, the opponent's archers retreated!" The sentry huddled behind the guardrail of the sentry tower carefully revealed a pair of eyes. After taking a look at the situation outside the ancient city wall, he quickly reported to Zhao Pan below. .
"How far back did you go?"
"About twenty steps! The subordinates can't be sure!" The undulating terrain in the hilly area was originally unfavorable for visual distance measurement. In addition, the arrows were flying around, so he didn't dare to look closely at all, and could only say made a rough judgment.
When Zhao Pan heard this, his brows were obviously wrinkled. Although the sentinel himself said it was not certain, but after the invaders retreated for a certain distance, the arrows of the archer troops could still attack them now. At this position, this is enough to explain a lot of problems. The range of the opponent's archer troops is larger than he expected!
After thinking about this, Zhao Pan asked decisively again, "What about the opponent's siege troops? Have the siege troops retreated?"
The sentry saw the opportunity and glanced out again. "No! The siege troops are still pushing the siege vehicles forward!"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan waved his hand decisively, "The shield and axe troops are responsible for blocking the arrows at the top of the head. The stone slingers advance ten steps, the attack angle is shifted to the left by forty degrees, and all the stone bombs are ready to be thrown! Turn the fire! Enemy siege troops, let it go!!"
Most of the slingers Luo Ji sent to the Tiebi tribe to garrison were veterans with rich combat experience. They had already been extremely proficient in the use of slings, and they were even more adept at controlling the angle of attack. With Iwon's order, the wildly thrown stone bullets immediately launched a powerful suppression attack on the advancing enemy siege force!
"Turn the fire? And it's a bit powerful." The reason why the slingers were eliminated, in addition to the flaws in their mobility, is also one of the reasons for their own attack accuracy. The opponent's slingers can actually attack the target. The conversion was done so quickly and accurately. To be honest, Zhang Yisheng was a little frightened, and then he gritted his teeth, "The archer troop advanced 30 paces, forced back the opposing slinger troop, and covered the advance of the siege troop!"
Now that the opponent has turned the fire, he decisively returned to the best output position confirmed before, but unexpectedly his rear troops have just moved, and have not had time to climb up the high ground as a slinger on the defensive side. The troops turned fire again, and a round of stone bullets smashed directly into the high ground!
Although the stone bullet that almost flew in the face was finally blocked by the shield-wielding troops in front, it still caused a look of surprise on his face, and then he swears on the spot, "Grass! The reaction is so fast? Is it someone? Are you staring at my actions?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yisheng decisively activated his skills, "Hawkeye!"
The dark pupils quickly contracted and enlarged, and the vision in front of him instantly became clear, and then he found the figure shrinking behind the guardrail of the sentry tower and peeking at the battlefield.
There is no dawdling, the duration of the eagle eye is limited, I saw Zhang Yisheng's movements are fast and violent, between the bow and the arrow, an arrow is fired! The sentry who was still huddled behind the guardrail of the sentry tower had no time to react. At that time, he only heard a muffled sound of 'du'! About two fingers away, the flying arrow was nailed to the wooden board on the guardrail of the sentry tower! But it still made the sentry break out in a cold sweat, "Okay, it's dangerous, I almost got hit by an arrow..."
At the same time, Zhang Yisheng on the other end gave a displeased 'tsk', which was different from when the first two sentries stood guard on the sentry tower without any defense. Behind the guardrail, in the face of such a situation, the difficulty of trying to kill the opponent with one arrow is obviously skyrocketing.
In desperation, the entire battle situation gradually evolved into a tug of war. Once the archer troops advance, the opponent's slinger troops will directly suppress a round of long-range attacks until they retreat, and once they retreat, the opponent's The slingers immediately adjusted their positions and turned to the siege troops.
At this moment, Zhang Yisheng already realized that he was kicking the iron plate, but he would not be persuaded to retreat directly. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. When he first invaded, it was already afternoon. The advantages of the long-range arms, covering the siege troops to advance in one breath, rushed to break the city gate before dark, but did not expect the firepower of the opponent's slinger troops to be unexpectedly fierce, forcibly suppressed him, and the siege troops also It was extremely difficult to advance, and if he continued to fight, once it got dark, it would be bad for him...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yisheng waved his hand and decisively issued the order to withdraw the troops. Now, he is not in a hurry. The firepower of the opponent's slingers is indeed strong enough, but according to the attack frequency, no amount of stone bullets can withstand it. That consumption, up to three rounds of siege warfare, this city gate will be broken!
