Volume 19 Chapter 18 Fifty-meter Heavenly Chain
"Kill..." Accompanied by the shocking shouts, the players rushed towards their final target excitedly. Of course, this target is not easy to deal with. Because the transnational teleportation array itself is equivalent to a troop transport channel, there are high-level troops that our guild has just arrived in the vicinity.
Unlike shipping that is slower but cheaper, the unit transmission cost of a teleportation array is much higher than that of shipping. Although the larger the teleportation array, the lower the average cost per transmission, no matter how low it is, the cost of the teleportation array is absolutely impossible to be cheaper than shipping or land transportation, or even air transportation. In fact, according to the fees calculated by players themselves in private, even if they spend money to ask experts to help with transportation with advanced flying creatures, the unit cost will not exceed even the cheapest teleportation array.
However... just like air tickets are so much more expensive than train tickets, there are still people who are willing to take a plane. The unparalleled speed advantage of the teleportation array is its ultimate magic weapon to attract customers. However, the high unit transmission cost determines that even if the teleportation array is used to transmit troops, it is limited to teleportation advanced troops. If even cannon fodder is transported with the teleportation array, it is better to buy it directly at the battle site.
Because of the high cost of the teleportation array, our cross-border teleportation array actually transmits all advanced troops. When the players rushed out of the building complex and saw a densely packed high-level troops in the square ahead, their enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.
Because the transnational teleportation array is equivalent to a connecting bridge between China and Japan, the pressure of material transportation here can be said to be very large. Although only a small number of materials with small sizes and relatively high value are transported by the teleportation array, as a connecting channel between the two countries, the daily throughput of material here is still amazing. In order to allow these things to be transported smoothly, the entire transnational teleportation array is actually a large open square around the entire transnational teleportation array. The main function of this square is somewhat similar to the container stacking area in the port, which is a area specially used for sorting and transporting goods. Now, due to war, all the materials parked in the square have been transported back to Aisinger on the other side, and the ones that replace these goods are large and advanced troops.
"Damn it, what did I see?" Seeing the dense troops in front, the fastest player immediately stopped rushing, but the people behind him still pushed him forward involuntarily, but no matter what, the speed of the charge slowed down after all.
Although the subsequent *** players also discovered the terrifying situation in front after rushing into the square, because they did not see more people in the square, the team was still pushed forward. Although the people in front were frightened by the senior troops, they were ready to die after all. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, these people began to run again, hoping to use their strength to fight a path for the people behind.
Looking at the enemy charging wildly, the legion on our side had no intention of being shaken. A senior NPC stood on a high platform and shouted loudly: "Everyone should pay attention to it, tie the defensive formation."
Boom, boom. With three neat footsteps, the entire legion moved forward three steps. The first row of heavy shield hands quickly lowered the shield, and the spearmen behind immediately extended the spears from the gap and top of the shield. After these people, a row of long bowmen quickly raised the arrows and pointed to the sky at twenty degrees in front. Then, with the command of the commander, a row of neat flying arrows flew out at the same time with a buzzing sound.
The arrows used by these advanced archers seem to be equipped with special pronunciation devices. The sharp whistling arrows roared into the crowd of players like noisy worker bees and instantly dropped.
In addition to luck, players who can fight here alive have strong strength and battlefield experience. After being attacked by a rain of arrows, players immediately shouted to ask the people with shields to rush forward. In fact, there is no need for these people to shout, the people with shields are already accelerating.
The team arrangement was quickly changed during the running, and the players and the shield players in the npc quickly rushed to the first row. Although they could not form a perfect formation in the movement like the troops of our guild, they used their strong strength to form a defense line with many loopholes and curved lines, but basically they finally used shields to protect the front of the line. With this shield array, at least in the face of arrow rain, the survival probability of players and npc will be greatly increased.
The excited *** players were somewhat proud of looking at the protective array they had just completed, but what they didn't expect was that their pride had lasted for less than two seconds and turned into fear, because the second wave of arrow rain attack made them fully realize what the elite troops of the Frost Rose League were.
The shield players who were charging with their shields and those who were protected by their shields thought they could completely ignore the attacks of the archers and rushed to the front of the formation. Who knew that when the second wave of arrows rain came down, the shield players who rushed in front suddenly found that the shield they were holding turned into paper stuff. The falling arrows easily penetrated their shields like a layer of window paper, then penetrated their bodies, and then penetrated all the people behind them and those behind them. Finally, the arrows even breathed a breath of half a foot deep on the ground before completely stopping.
Although the two armies are now relatively close, they can penetrate three layers of human walls and penetrate half a foot deep after shooting through the shield. How can such a position be achieved by bows and arrows? This is a small-caliber anti-tank gun!
The second wave of arrow rain ended. Although the chargers realized that their opponent's strength was amazing, they did not intend to give up. The city walls and terrifying street battles in front of them had already caused them to lose too many people. Now victory is right in front of them, so how can they give up? Even if the arrow rain is powerful? The distance is just so far. Before the two armies contacted each other, they only received two rounds of arrow rain. What are the fears of a person if they die? The least feared by the people who are *** now is the death.
Despite this idea, the subsequent rain of arrows still surprised the players. Indeed, their charge speed and the distance between the two armies were only enough for archers to shoot two arrows under normal circumstances. In this case, the players calculated the opposite troops based on advanced troops with outstanding strength. If it were a general army, it would be almost enough to shoot an arrow at this time. However, the players were destined to be disappointed today.
Just when the *** players thought they could fight the elite forwards after two rounds of arrow rain, a shout suddenly came from the archers' troops opposite. "Everyone changed the peacock's screen to open the arrow." Hearing this shout, a neat sound of changing arrows suddenly came from the archers' team, and then all the archers set up four arrows on the bowstring at one time, and then pulled the bow to its limit.
After the archers were ready, a commander in front of the team suddenly raised a flag, then waved it down suddenly. With a whimper, a large black cloud suddenly rose up and covered the team of players in front.
Looking at the black clouds that suddenly rose in front of us, the players who were charging immediately realized that something was wrong, but at this time they could no longer hide. They could only watch the black clouds fall into the crowd, and then they saw that the players who were less than ten meters away from our army's vanguard fell to the ground one after another, and the troops behind them were cleared. The players' impact line was pulled back fifty meters in an instant, because all the people within the 50 meters in front had fallen to the ground.
"This...this...this...this is his grandma?" Looking at his companion who fell down suddenly, the *** player finally realized the problem.
Even if it is calculated based on the speed of the fastest-speed personnel in the *** player team, it will take at least two seconds to rush through the fifty meters in front. The archers on the opposite side seem to have a fifty-second speed. In other words, if all the people with the fastest speed charge, as long as the opponent's fifty-meter speed does not slow down, they will have to force over a dozen rounds of arrow rain before they can rush through the terrifying fifty meters. However, the more serious problem is that more than two seconds is calculated based on the speed of the assassin, but have you seen anyone using assassin to rush to the defensive line of heavy shield hands and spearmen to defend? What is the difference between smashing stones with an egg?
Among the standard tactics, there are only three types of troops that are most suitable for rushing to the heavy shield defense line - heavy cavalry, heavy infantry and long spear team. Among the above three types of troops, the fastest one is naturally the heavy cavalry, but even at the speed of heavy cavalry, it will take at least three seconds to rush through this distance. According to the speed of the archer fire of the opposite archer, if the stormtrooper cannot rush through this fifty meters in three seconds, it means that as long as the opponent does not slow down, no matter how many people come here, they will be shot to death within this fifty meters range.
Originally, for players who rushed over a few seconds, it has become the most terrifying 50 meters of death. Those who can rush over are not able to break the formation, and those who have the ability to break the formation are not fast enough, which is completely an unsolvable proposition. Of course, it is actually easy to solve this proposition. As long as you use infinite personnel to rush hard, wait until the archer on the opposite side is exhausted and has no strength to shoot the bow, or when their arrows are used up, they can rush over. But do you need to fill in the number of people in this process... Anyway, players who know that there are not enough people left on their side.
"What should I do now?" A group of *** guild presidents parked on the edge of the square were discussing together.
