Chapter 427

Of course, if the NPC holding the shield is directly hit by the ballista of the defenders, it will be killed in seconds, but the hit rate of the ballista is not high, and the probability of directly hitting the NPC holding the shield is still very low. Protective cover, shoot a coalition NPC directly.

But the power of the ballista also has a limit. After penetrating the shield and killing an NPC, it will lose its power. At most, it will seriously injure the second target, and it is impossible to kill two birds with one stone.

There are quite a lot of NPCs holding shields in the NPC coalition army. In addition to the vanguard troops, there are also many NPCs holding shields in the long-range troops standing at the back.

However, the shield-holding NPCs in the long-range troops cannot keep opening the protective cover, because the protective cover is bidirectional and will also block internal long-range attacks, so it will only be opened at critical moments when it is covered by long-range attacks from the defenders.

Yun Xiaohan carefully discovered that the protective cover of the shield-holding troops also has a CD time, and the CD time is not short. He estimated that it was about 20-30 seconds.Once the protective cover is removed, the coalition forces can only resist the cover attack launched by the defenders within the CD time of the protective cover.

However, although the NPC holding a shield cannot open the protective cover, it can still use the shield and body to provide cover for friendly troops. Although the cover range is far less than the protective cover, the effect is still good. It is better than letting the long-range troops be directly attacked. Hit well.

As long as shield-holding NPCs are not subject to large-scale fire, they still have a chance to survive. If they can survive and treat NPCs, they can help them gain blood, but long-range NPCs can't do it. Once dead, the healing NPC is useless.

After seeing the performance of the shield-wielding NPC, Yun Xiaohan felt that the role of shield-wielding professions in wars is still very important. Although the PK ability is weak, lacks output, and basically does not have long-range capabilities, it can be said that there are many shortcomings, but it can provide friendly forces. Protection is an indispensable link in the battle of the large army.

Players can't learn this kind of protective cover skill now, but it's hard to say in the future, and even if this kind of large-scale military protective cover skill can only be used by NPCs, the shield-wielding profession among players must have other small-scale defensive skills , For example, the equipment effect of [Flash Dance Giant Shield] is 3, which can cover all friendly troops within a 10-yard semicircle on the side and rear.

It seems that he still needs to pay more attention to shield-wielding professions, and then relax the recruitment requirements. Whether it is directly recruiting casual people or poaching people, it is good to charge more shield-wielding professions to join the association. It's not impossible to consider.

When the vanguard troops of the NPC coalition army were still some distance away from the city, 20 catapults of the NPC coalition army also entered the attack range and took the lead in showing off.

The NPC coalition forces are still protected by protective shields, but the defenders have no established shield-holding NPCs, and naturally there are no protective shields. Needless to say, the defenders who were directly hit by the stone bullets thrown by the catapult, it must be It was death, the ricochet formed after the stone bullet hit the ground was the more threatening, and could often kill more defenders, and even the gravel that popped out after the stone bullet hit the ground could cause quite a lot of damage.

Although the catapult caused a lot of damage to the defenders, it did not cause much damage to the city wall.Although the city of Gloria is small and the walls are short, it is quite strong, and it stands still under the attack of the catapult.

Of course, this may also be because the power of the coalition catapults is not strong enough, not the kind of advanced catapults; or this optional plot has greatly strengthened the walls of Gloria City, after all, the defenders can increase. It is normal for the city wall to become stronger.

Next, the long-range troops of the coalition army also entered the range. The long-range troops in the coalition army are less than one-third of the total number. The ratio of archers and mage soldiers is almost 5:1, and mage soldiers have a lot of skills In other words, they are all the more common active attack skills.

The coalition's long-range troops did not start attacking immediately after entering the range, but continued to move forward and spread out the array.

However, the space under the east gate is limited after all. It is too far away from the city gate to hit, too close to the city gate and the angle is not enough, and a certain amount of space is required for drawing bows and arrows and casting spells, and they cannot stand too densely for the defenders to attack at will. Therefore, although the NPC coalition forces have been fully deployed, there are not many players who come up to get in the way, and there are only less than 5000 long-range NPCs who can attack.

In this way, these NPCs are still quite crowded, and because "Choice" is just a game after all, no matter how realistic it is, it can't be the same as a real war.

If these long-range NPCs are replaced by players, there can be at least twice as many players. Players are players, and they don't pay attention to queues like NPCs, and they deliberately widen the distance and space.

But having said that, it may be because there is not enough distance and space that the player's long-range attack effect is greatly reduced. Although there is no basis for this speculation, Yun Xiaohan feels that the possibility is still very high.

After the long-range troops of the NPC coalition forces were fully deployed, they began to attack the defenders on the city wall. Yun Xiaohan immediately discovered the pattern when they made a move.

These long-range NPCs, the archers all use projectile attacks, and the mage soldiers also use spells with obvious attack trajectories. What's more telling is that the trajectories of these spells are also in the shape of a parabola. The effect of gravity is small, and the parabola is relatively flat.

If only some NPCs do this, it can be explained that they only have this type of skill, but if they all do this, it means that only in this way can they deal higher damage.

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiaohan confirmed his previous thinking, and the damage caused by the long-range attack of the NPC coalition forces further proved the correctness of this thinking.

The players shot for a long time before, but not many defenders on the city wall died, and no one even evaded the attack.But the NPC coalition forces only shot two rounds, and a large part of the city wall died. Some defenders with relatively low blood volume also took the initiative to retreat to the city, or began to look for shelter or dodge when the long-range attack fell.

At this time, the avant-garde troops of the NPC coalition army also arrived at the city, and they directly pushed the ladder cart over.

The aerial ladder vehicle dispatched by the coalition forces this time is a relatively simple version, mainly composed of three parts: the bottom is equipped with wheels, which can be moved; The hook is used to hook the edge of the city and protect the head of the ladder from being rejected and destroyed by the defenders.

Although the NPC coalition forces only carried a total of 5 aerial ladder vehicles this time, and the others were ordinary double-legged ladders, these 5 aerial ladder vehicles can make it easier for the attacking soldiers to climb up the city wall. Step ladders and ladder cars are much safer and more reliable.
