As the Dragon War Alliance continued to grow, they began to try to attack some small cities. The situation in Liangzhou also gradually became clear.
The progress of the entire server was based on the general trend of the world. The first goal was to occupy 160,000 square of land. The second goal was to reach 30 alliances with more than 45 people. The third goal was to wipe out 9 million thieves. The fourth goal was to occupy 15000 square of level 4 land. After this, it would enter the Heroes Divide stage, which required the entire server to occupy 20 or more level 3 cities.
Basically, in the first few days of the novice stage, all the players were doing their best to occupy land and increase their resource production and general level. However, some alliances that had a deeper understanding of the game would start to organize some activities to attack the lowest level 3 cities.
Occupying a small city had certain benefits. It could increase the resource production of all the members of the alliance. At the same time, the players who occupied the city could obtain additional taxes.
An Alliance's rule over a certain region was mainly achieved through these key cities. The more cities they occupied and the higher the rank, the more stable the Alliance's rule over the region would be, and the more benefits they would obtain.
According to the alliance master's request, Zheng Hongxi went online punctually at 8 pm.
After a few days of hard work, Dragon War had developed very well. It was currently the largest alliance in Liangzhou and could be ranked in the top 10 in the entire server. Other than that, the second largest alliance in Liangzhou was called How You Have No Clothes, which was slightly weaker than Dragon War.
The city they were going to attack this time was Yun Street, a level 3 city.
In Shoreline of the Earth, the lowest level city was level 3 and the highest was level 10 (Luoyang).
Actually, a level 3 city was very easy to attack. There weren't many benefits. The main reason for attacking this city was to practice. In the future, there would be such activities every day. The levels of the cities would become higher and higher and harder. Therefore, it was necessary to familiarize the alliance members with this rhythm.
In the strongholds around Yun Street, Zheng Hongxi's troops were already in position.
If they wanted to attack a city, they had to build strongholds around the city in advance. This way, the troops could directly dispatch troops from the strongholds. If they dispatched troops from their own main city, it would take a few hours just to march. They wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Before the official attack, the alliance master had already sent a group email in the game to explain some things to take note of.
The people participating in the attack had to clear a level 1 land around the city in advance and build a stronghold. On the day of the siege, he had to mobilize his main forces and siege troops to the fortress in preparation for the siege at night.
Every player had to prepare at least three squads. The first was the main force, which was the strongest force, and was responsible for clearing out the defenders. The second was the siege force, which was the force with the highest siege value. It didn't need to be full, but it was enough. It was mainly responsible for reducing the defense value of the city. The third was the paving force, which was usually made up of Cavalry, and was used for paving roads, scouting, and so on.
Siege troops were usually infantrymen. Infantrymen had the highest Siege HP, but they were also the slowest. They usually had to leave their homes seven to eight hours in advance to rush to the Stronghold.
Zheng Hongxi looked at the strongholds surrounding Cloud Street City. This time, there were at least 60 to 70 people from the alliance. The entire Cloud Street City was densely packed with strongholds. There were five to six layers of strongholds inside and outside, and it was completely surrounded.
Because the Alliance Master didn't know how strong the city's guards were, he called everyone in the Alliance over.
At 8 o 'clock, the siege officially began.
The Alliance's current highest combat power was called Cloud Recess. This time, their stronghold was in the first row outside Cloud Street City. They had already occupied a city area of Cloud Street City in advance, and they were ready for the siege.
Cloud Street City was a small city, and it also occupied nine squares. The center was the inner city, and the rest were all urban areas. Because they couldn't directly attack unconnected areas, they had to first destroy an urban area before they could attack the inner city of Cloud Street City.
Of course, some of the bigger cities occupied a larger area. For example, Liangzhou's capital, Wuwei, was a level 8 city with 25 squares. They had to destroy two urban areas before they could attack the inner city.
Soon, the Alliance Master's mail arrived.
"Start clearing the defenders now. Cloud Recess's troops will arrive in the city area at 8: 05, and the other main forces will arrive one minute later. Everyone, remember to calculate the time well and don't increase unnecessary losses. "
Zheng Hongxi looked at the time. It was 8: 03, and his main force was cavalry. If they attacked now, it would take them 2 minutes and 12 seconds to march. In other words, they would be able to attack in a few dozen seconds.
In Shores of the Unyielding Earth, distance and time were two very important factors. Before attacking, the system would give very accurate marching speed and arrival time.
The reason why Gao Zhan had to attack first was that the city's defenders were stronger than most of the players' troops. The city area of a level 3 city had level 6 defenders, which meant that the defenders' combat power was equal to that of a level 6 city. Moreover, there were a total of four defenders.
Other than some rich players who could wear the armor themselves, most players would at most be crippled by half of the defenders. Therefore, this kind of siege needed a lot of players.
The main force of Alliance Gao Zhan, Cloud Recess, took the lead and directly crashed into the city's defenders, instantly destroying an entire garrison. However, his own main force was also crippled.
There was a battle report from the Alliance in the battle report interface, and everyone could see the details of this battle.
The Alliance Master sent another mail. "Everyone, you can send out your main force to attack the city. Let me emphasize, the siege troops must not move, wait for the mail. "
In an instant, densely packed arrows appeared on the fortresses around Cloud Street City. All the arrows pointed at Cloud Street City. Troops marched towards the city center, and the visual effect was very shocking.
Zheng Hongxi's troops were also mobilized. After more than two minutes, these troops began to fight fiercely with the defenders.
"F * ck, the defenders are so overpowered!"
Zheng Hongxi looked at the battle report and felt his heart ache. His main force was crippled the moment they collided with the defenders. He lost more than half of his soldiers, but only managed to destroy a quarter of the defenders' forces.
The soldiers of the main force were gathered by Zheng Hongxi. In this game, recruiting soldiers required a lot of resources, and resources were never enough.
However, Zheng Hongxi also knew that attacking the city was beneficial to the entire Alliance. It was fine even if the main force was crippled. They could just wait for the recruitment at night, and when they woke up the next day, their forces would be full.
Under the siege of everyone's main force, four defenders of Cloud Street City were killed in just three minutes. However, these defenders would recover within an hour, so they had to seize the time to attack the city.
The Alliance Master sent another mass mail. "Alright, everyone, mobilize the siege troops. Pay attention to the center of Cloud Street City, and don't miss!"
