Even among players of the bronze tier, not everyone possessed such a city wall.

Many players with poor rankings and combat power were still using ancient walls made of wooden stakes.

As a veteran at the bronze tier, Wong Lukong certainly had a city wall like this, but the scale of the opponent's wall was a bit exaggerated.

Upon seeing this city, he almost turned to leave.

Damn, did he mistakenly think it was someone else? But this guy was indeed named Logic.

Was this dude really just a newcomer who had just risen from an O tier? It felt like a joke.

At this moment, Wonglukong was somewhat dumbfounded.

This logic was too abnormal.

Generally, newcomers who had just risen from the no tier might occasionally have a few exceptional ones who could build stone walls, but the scale would never be this large.

This was definitely cheating.

Damn, I need to report this.

That guy named Luo is definitely a cheater.

Opening the system interface and searching for the report button, Wong Luchong's mentality began to explode as he couldn't find where it was.

What was going on? That city wall was simply a deterrent by strength.

It can only be said that logic had developed his farming skills too well in the early stages.

Coupled with the two golden treasure chests he opened in his first battle that gave him the design plans for the golden level triple crossbow and the elixir of immortality.

The triple crossbow provided him with the capital to act as he pleased in the siege battle at the no tier.

while the civilization points earned from selling the elixir of immortality provided him with ample development funds.

Following that, the new panel unlocked by world fragments allowed him to directly annex the civilizations of two players, leading to a population boom.

These factors accumulated and combined, ultimately making Logic's civilization grow like a snowball during that entire early stage.

This unique development method was clearly impossible for ordinary players to replicate.

Therefore, for Wong Lukong, the towering city that appeared before him had exceeded his understanding of common sense.

Apart from the possibility of the opponent cheating, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

To fight or not to fight.

This became a question that gave him a stomach ache.

Retreating without a fight was indeed hard to justify.

He had to gather some useful intelligence first, such as the opponent's troop deployment and composition, so that if Lui questioned him later, he would have something to say.

At the same time, he also held a slight hope that maybe the opponent's city wall was just for show, perhaps they cut corners.

Once such thoughts arose, they uncontrollably began to spread.

And as he thought about it, Wong Lukong even developed a sense that the more he thought, the more likely it seemed.

After all, how could a newcomer build a city of such scale? There must be something fishy going on.

Chapter 229.

Tank formation.

Taking two deep breaths.

Wong Lucian adjusted his mindset and was determined to test the depth of the opposing side.

Moreover, he had brought his siege weapon with him, which was costly.

If he retreated without even trying to engage, it would be a huge loss for him.

With this in mind, Wong Lucan waved his hand, signaling his troops to push the siege equipment out to the open plane.

Hiding in the woods made it impossible to form a proper formation and launch a direct siege.

The commotion in the distance clearly caught Lu G's attention.

Through his binoculars, he saw the siege equipment being used by the opponent, and his pupils narrowed at the side of the crossbow.

Lu G was not particularly surprised that Wong Lucan possessed a crossbow.

As the earliest crossbows were siege weapons from their own era during the spring and autumn and waring states periods, it was not unusual for a bronze tier player to have a crossbow and Wong Lukan's threebow crossbow was the ultimate enhanced version of the crossbow series.

The appearance of the crossbow on the opposing side undoubtedly confirmed that his efforts in building the wall were justified.

LuG was not afraid of it.

For a siege weapon, maximum range was useless.

What mattered was effective range.

For example, his threebow crossbow was recorded to have a maximum range of over 1 500 meters, one of the highest records of the cold weapon era.

While it looked impressive, Lu Gene knew that by the time a bolt reached that distance, it would have little power left.

To estimate effective range, one could simply cut the maximum range in half.

The resulting number would approximate the limit of effective range, though not very precisely.

The crossbow that won Lucan pushed out was at least several eras behind his lacking in both range and power compared to his three bow crossbow.

As long as the opponent could not attack him from beyond his range, the advantage was undoubtedly on his side.

However, as a bronze tier player, Wong Lucan's initial display was quite impressive.

He had even luxuriously assembled a unit of heavy shield soldiers to protect the two crossbows as they advanced, followed by a siege tower, an archetypal siege configuration.

The units following were shield act soldiers, polearm soldiers, and archers, each forming three neat formations that slowly advanced behind the siege equipment.

With a considerable number of troops, it was clear that as a veteran bronze tier player, he could easily deploy hundreds of soldiers for the siege.

Unlike those still in the novice village, Lu G remained calm.

After experiencing a population explosion, the strength of his civilization had significantly improved.

Plus, with the wall in place, he could leverage a greater advantage, height advantage.

Ranged units stationed on high ground could achieve greater range and combat effectiveness.

This principle applied not only in games, but also in reality, as it was a parabolic issue, which I won't elaborate on here.

Commands were issued rapidly.

Although Lu Gi had primarily relied on his stonethrowing units in the defense, considering the threat posed by the two crossbows, he decided to deploy a unit of archers on the wall.

This way, if any unexpected situation arose, he could respond accordingly.

After all, the archer units had received upgrades.

Inspired by the step people's horn bows, they had been modified to achieve greater range and power.

Luog already knew the opponent's strategy.

They would first use the two crossbows to damage a city gates and walls.

Once the gates were thoroughly destroyed or the heavy crossbow bolts were exhausted, the infantry would push the siege tower to commence the siege.

A common siege tactic that had been used for many years.

With a simple gesture, the stonethrowers and archers stationed on the wall entered their preparation phase.

Using his moninocular, Lu G continued to observe the opponent's movements.

As he had already confirmed the attack ranges of both units, he knew exactly what targets the stonethrowers and archers could hit.

He just needed the opponent to enter attack range to signal his troops to fire.

However, the range of the opponent's early crossbows slightly exceeded his expectations.

While the stonethrowers could hit that position, it was a bit challenging.

With this thought, Lu Gi changed his gesture, ordering the stonethrowers to temporarily withdraw while the archers moved forward.

Target: The two crossbows outside the city, prepare for a volley, fire.

With the command given, a rain of arrows flew out as the siege side facing this deluge of arrows.

Wong Lucan's eyes flashed with surprise.

He had not anticipated that the range of the opposing archers would exceed his expectations.

However, being an experienced player, he was not easily intimidated.

He quickly shouted orders.

Heavy shield soldiers form a shield wall.

Cover the crossbows while they fire.

As Wong Lucan issued his command, large shields resembling door panels quickly came together to form a shield wall, protecting the crossbows and the soldiers operating them.

Considering the firing of the crossbows, they intentionally left enough space for the heavy bolts to be shot.

Seeing this, Luog couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This formation was interesting.

It seemed inspired by tank designs and was surprisingly creative.

Indeed, even on a cold weapon battlefield, modern thinking could yield fascinating results.

Bang! Bang! Two loud sounds echoed as the heavy crossbow bolts struck the majestic walls of Mingjing City, creating two small craters while also exposing their weaknesses.

The earliest crossbows, aside from their power and range, had a rather troublesome flaw.

They were very inaccurate.

The heavy bolts launched were already lacking in precision.

In this situation, adopting a formation that shielded both the crossbows and the soldiers behind them almost completely blocked the soldiers line of sight.

They could only rely on another soldier's communication to confirm and adjust their attack angles.

Honestly, this was indeed a tank-like tactic, but the result was that accuracy became even worse.
