Chapter 399: Defense
The first red arrow connected to the inner city district of General Jianping Tu. Soon, a second red arrow, a third red arrow followed...
Six or seven strongholds of [How Could We Be Without Clothes] had already been built, and the troops in these strongholds launched an attack on the leader of [Dragon Battle] almost simultaneously.
At this moment, there were ten defending units of [Dragon Battle], all main forces sent by members relatively close to the leader, arriving fairly quickly.
The first unit collided, and the bright red number on the defending force dropped from ten to nine.
Zheng Hongxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the opponents weren’t high-tier fighters either.
Checking the battle log, Zheng Hongxi found that the enemy unit wasn’t particularly strong either, roughly on par with his own forces. He could only say this player had dedication but neither money nor luck.
But just as Zheng Hongxi relaxed a little, the second enemy unit struck, and the defending force instantly plummeted from nine to four!
This enemy unit had directly pierced through five defending units!
Zheng Hongxi panicked. He quickly opened the battle report and discovered it was a small Wei Cavalry squad—a formation of three Wei Kingdom cavalry units—which was why it had torn through five of their units.
“Is this their alliance’s high-tier fighter?”
“Damn, they already have a fully formed unit this early? The pure Wei Cavalry combo is really something!”
“But they still have remnants. Once they withdraw to the stronghold, they can pierce through again!”
“What do we do? What do we do?”
“Are there any online members nearby? Pull all units over! Even siege units, use them as cannon fodder, as many as you can!”
“Those within thirty minutes’ travel, come over. Any farther and it’s useless—too late!”
“What about Yun Shen’s main force? How much longer?”
“Still ten minutes. A small Wei Cavalry, even a big Wei Cavalry (Xiahou Yuan, Xun Yu, Cao Cao) is just a snack for Wu archers.”
But right now, this small Wei Cavalry was already causing massive trouble for [Dragon Battle].
Soon, a second unit, a third unit...
The forces of [How Could We Be Without Clothes] kept crashing into the defending units. After the first round of combat, all of [Dragon Battle]’s defending units had been beaten back home!
At this point, all troops from [How Could We Be Without Clothes]’s strongholds swarmed out, dense red arrows pointing at the central city district of [Dragon Battle]’s leader, now devoid of defenders!
“It’s over!”
“What do we do? It’s too late!”
“Yun Shen still has three minutes. Feels hopeless.”
Everyone in the chat group panicked. If many of [How Could We Be Without Clothes]’s units were siege troops, they could wipe out the leader’s city defense in one round. After all, a player’s city didn’t have as high defense as an NPC city; it would crumble quickly under concentrated fire.
But [Dragon Battle]’s top fighter, Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu’s main force, still needed nearly three minutes to arrive. Everything depended on whether the leader’s city would fall in this round.
The fate of the entire Liang Province rested on these three minutes. Whether the city fell or not, Liang Province would take two completely different paths.
“First hit is a cavalry unit. Good, city defense only dropped by less than 20 points.”
“Second unit has an archer. This time it dropped by 70.”
“Third is another cavalry unit. Dropped by 33 points.”
Everyone was nervously watching the city defense value of the leader’s city district. Initially, a player’s city defense was only 900 points. If some infantry units specialized in siege attacked, they could drop it by one to two hundred in a single hit.
Fortunately, [How Could We Be Without Clothes]’s preparations were also hasty. Most of the units they could gather were cavalry—fast but with low siege value, so the durability dropped slowly.
In the meantime, two more units arrived, delaying [How Could We Be Without Clothes]’s siege progress.
“Hold the line!”
“Damn, only 300 city defense left, and the enemy still has plenty of stamina!”
“Yun Shen is almost here!”
“Great, Yun Shen is defending!”
Finally, when [Dragon Battle]’s leader’s main city had only 210 city defense points left, Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu’s main force arrived and successfully stationed at General Jianping Tu’s main city.
Wave after wave of enemy units continued advancing toward the city district, but they all crashed into Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu’s defending force. Five or six units hit it, yet the defending force stood firm!
The people from [How Could We Be Without Clothes] were clearly stunned. They had thought victory was within reach, but over ten units that charged in had all returned empty-handed!
The alliance channel of [How Could We Be Without Clothes] was in chaos.
“What’s going on? Any more units? Hurry up and attack! [Dragon Battle]’s leader only has 200 health left. Two more rounds and we’ll take it down and be done!”
“Damn, the enemy’s top fighter’s unit has arrived. One person pierced through ten teams! Check the battle report.”
“What the hell? How is this Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu so strong?”
“Look at his two generals—Lu Meng and Zhou Yu!”
“Shit, are you kidding me? How does [Dragon Battle] have such a freakish whale? Lu Meng is already out?”
“Damn, his unit still has a lot of troops. We can’t break through.”
“But we still have units arriving one after another.”
“It’s useless. The combat power gap is too big. Most of us have cavalry—cannon fodder!”
“Can’t worry about that anymore. The arrow has left the bow; there’s no turning back. Tonight is our best chance. If we can’t take it and it turns into a stalemate, the situation will be very bad for us! All frontline units that can move, pull them all over and charge! Even if we have to pile up bodies, we’ll take down this whale!”
The people from [How Could We Be Without Clothes] charged like madmen, trying to brute-force their way through Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu’s main force.
But it was completely useless. Another three or four teams rushed in and were all instantly wiped out.
In the game, Lu Meng and Zhou Yu were both five-star divine generals. The “Grand Governor” formation, which was invincible in the mid-game and still effective in the late game, referred to the Wu Kingdom archer combo of Lu Meng, Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu.
Lu Meng’s skill was “White Robe Crossing the River,” which prevented the enemy from making normal attacks for the first two rounds of battle. After this effect ended, it immediately launched a strategy (magic) attack on the enemy.
Zhou Yu’s skill launched a strategy attack on the enemy and put them in a fear state, preventing normal attacks for two rounds.
In other words, with these two generals paired together, any enemy generals relying on physical attacks would be completely helpless, unable to deal any damage. Meanwhile, these two generals’ output was extremely fierce, bombarding the enemy with various magic attacks that left them disoriented.
