The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 222 Occupation
Seeing that Zhang Qiang didn't care about the information he revealed, Lewis was a little confused about this person.

It should be said that this is internal news from the top executives of the consortium and the country. If an ordinary game player knows this news, he will drop his glasses in shock, and then cry and beg him to let them participate in this plan , or thinking about seeking benefits for oneself through this foresight.

But Zhang Qiang's cash flow is calm, why is that?
He really couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't leave Zhang Qiang to do it alone. He found that he was almost behind Zhang Qiang's progress in the game.

Although now everyone has touched some of the game's doorsteps, and began to transfer from the ordinary civilian camp to the kingdom camp, they all want to seize the commanding heights of the game in the kingdom camp.

The kingdom camp is the place with the most resources in the game. According to the conclusions drawn from the high-level meeting, the higher the kingdom camp is, the more it can get in touch with many secrets of the game. Take control of this new energy source.

I can't stand him thinking too much.

The NPC knights have begun to drive away one after another soldiers and nobles who are lower than them, ready to attack the city.

The commander of the siege was still Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang was the only one left.

Because he has the authorization of Viscount Rogerson, although Viscount Rogerson is seriously injured, he has not lost his mind and can still command his troops through orders.

Lewis could only line up with the players of his own guild, waiting for Zhang Qiang to give an order. He felt a little aggrieved. When would he, the leader of one of the best guilds in China, want to listen to the command of an ordinary game player.

Zhang Qiang walked in front of his troops, looked at Lin Luo's soldiers, and couldn't help but frowned. The last attack on his troops suffered heavy losses. Could it be that these few people are going to attack the city this time?

A light infantryman beside him looked at Zhang Qiang's frowning, and said softly, "Master Knight, don't we still have those captives? We can recruit captives to be the vanguard of this attack."

Zhang Qiang glanced at him and knew that he was talking about using those captives as cannon fodder. They hid behind. If the captives attacked the city wall, they would charge up again. If all the captives were dead, they could retreat.

After all, they are their own troops, the regular army.

In the combat mode of the cold weapon era, the enemy's cannon fodder is generally used first to consume the enemy's cannon fodder. If the cannon fodder wins, it can also consume the enemy's regular soldiers. When the regular soldiers rush up, they can consume the enemy's elite troops. It's a crowd tactics style of play.

Although it was a bit inhumane to those cannon fodder troops, everyone fought like this, and the cannon fodder understood their role, so no one thought it was wrong, and Zhang Qiang had no other good way.

Another crossbowman said: "My lord knight, the morale of the captives is very low, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. It may not be of much use, but it will affect our attack time. Why don't we rush up quickly and defeat the enemy?" The cannon fodder troops, and then let Viscount Rogerson's knights rush up with their troops to expand the results of the battle."

The light infantry obviously didn't want to rush up to meet the enemy's arrow rain, and strongly opposed it.

"Master Knight, you only have our troops left. If you kill them all, you will have no one to send."

The crossbowman said: "Master knight, you must first recruit them to use captives, and to recruit them, you need to pay your reputation. Using captives is against the spirit of chivalry in Calradia, and other knights will despise you for doing this." Yes, those noble lords will also feel contemptuous of you, and it will affect your image in their minds."

Zhang Qiang was stunned, what else is there to say?
He looked at the light infantry, and the light infantry said with some shame: "Yes, my lord, the nobles and lords think that captives are a kind of wealth, not soldiers who will fight on the battlefield again. They agree to take the captives back and hand them over to those slave traders. , and then sell them to other people to share the benefits brought by the captives, instead of letting them go to the battlefield as cannon fodder after they are captured, they think this is a disregard for the lives of captives and violates the laws of war.”

Before the crossbowman continued to speak, the light infantry rushed to continue: "But, Sir, if you win the battle, the increase in reputation will exceed the reputation you paid. Do you think you are a knight with not many troops? If you can take down an enemy's castle, everyone's opinion of you will be different. You will greatly exceed the guesses of those noble lords. Back then, our lord, Earl Plais, also took down the enemy's castle alone. Is it valued by the king?"

The crossbowman immediately retorted: "But the lord, he has never used captives as cannon fodder to take down the enemy's fortress. His fighters are all very good. He is a lord who is good at teaching students according to their aptitude. He will use everyone to their advantage. Where he should go."

"Needless to say," Zhang Qiang stopped them. He had already decided. Could it be that keeping so many captives was a waste of food?
Be sure to take advantage of them.

The crossbowman said: My lord, the captives are all Vikia warriors. They will not be cruel to their fellow citizens. Take down the enemy's fortress.In the first attack, we suffered heavy losses, but the enemy was not much better. They were already few in number, and our attack had already hurt them. I saw that they lost at least one-third of their elite last time. , and half of the soldiers, I am afraid that what they put on the city wall this time are some cannon fodder troops. "

"We only need one round to defeat them, and then Viscount Rogerson's troops rush in to destroy their elite."

Zhang Qiang no longer paid attention to the two of them. He went back to the rear, brought the captives over, gave them weapons, and called two of Rogerson's knights to let their cavalry escort the captives to the battlefield.

I personally led my soldiers to walk on one side of the captives, and on the other side was Rogerson's troops.

Watching the captives, led by a group of Rogson's soldiers, turn over the wall and fight with the enemy, Zhang Qiang galloped on the battlefield, learned about the situation everywhere, and adjusted his strategy in time.

The captives spent 200 reputation points on him, and it hurts to think about it.

However, if you can capture Fort Dremag, it should be worth the effort.

There were screams and screams on the top of the wall. From time to time, the bodies of soldiers from both sides fell from the city wall, but they did not see the slightest progress. The soldiers did not even occupy the city wall, but had a slight advantage, and the enemy was still tenacious.

Zhang Qiang couldn't bear it anymore, and he led his soldiers to drive the remaining captives up the city wall.

Only then did he discover that the enemy guarding the city walls were all elites, and there were actually a lot of senior soldiers, Vikia light infantry, Vikia infantry, Vikia heavy infantry, and many more, who were also Vikia infantry and light infantry prisoners. If it weren't for the large number of Rogerson's soldiers, they might not even be able to climb the city wall.

Those crispy Vekia soldiers had a bit of a hard time facing the heavy infantry and infantry of the Kingdom of Swadia.

But they are on the defensive side. As long as you get stuck in a narrow passage, you have to compete with them. It will take some time to defeat them.

What's even more annoying is that all the archers of Vikia gathered in the open space of the castle, row by row, and launched a volley of shooting tactics against the teams they were fighting. Round after round of arrows rained down. The attacking team of our own side actually suffered losses to the point of retreating steadily.

Although they might accidentally injure their own infantry, in comparison, it was Zhang Qiang's soldiers who fell more.

Because they have so many soldiers.

The terrain on the city wall is narrow, and only three soldiers are allowed to attack side by side in the front. Except for the soldiers in the second row who can help, the third row can only rest. Only in this way can we fight a war of attrition.

See who has more.

Let's see who kills who first.

Those Vekia archers were shooting arrows at the soldiers of the Swadia Kingdom behind them. When a round of arrows rained down, there were always a few unlucky ones who were shot down.

You have archers, but I don't?
Zhang Qiang was so angry that he immediately organized the remaining Vikia archers and his own Swadia Kingdom crossbowmen to fight in a row on the city wall, and shot arrows at the Vikia archers in the castle open space.

The effect was immediately manifested.

The Vekia archers fell in batches.

Zhang Qiang has more crossbowmen than infantry, and there are still 13 crossbowmen. In the first round of siege, all the infantry died.

Crossbows shoot farther than bows and arrows, and are more lethal than bows and arrows, but the disadvantage is that the rate of fire is slow, but this is nothing. The key is that they can disintegrate the enemy's attack. After a few rounds, the enemy will not be able to bear it. He even pulled out the sword at his waist, picked up the shield on the ground, howled and rushed to the city wall, joining the ranks of the attack.

Rogerson's knights also followed Zhang Qiang's example and separated the crossbowmen to fight alone. There were more of them, and some of them had already begun to call out those Vikia infantrymen who did not fight on the wheel one by one.

The two sides came and went, shooting at each other, and more soldiers from Zhang Qiang's side fell down, because Vikia's archers were so powerful, and their shooting speed was also fast.

The advantage is that there are many people on Zhang Qiang's side.

When the city wall was captured and the melee in the castle, the war ended easily when the sky gradually turned pale.

Only then did Zhang Qiang realize that the guards on the city wall were actually elite soldiers, and those who came out from behind were ordinary soldiers and cannon fodder soldiers, so they were quickly defeated by the elite soldiers that Rogerson arranged behind and did not attack.

A royal flag belonging to the Kingdom of Swadia was raised on the highest spire above the castle, telling people that Fort Dreimag has been occupied by the Kingdom of Swadia.
