Karu trained troops here, perfecting the siege tactics and the tactics against the orc infantry, but he didn't know that it gave Xiao Yu enough time to prepare.
If Kalu came to attack immediately, Xiao Yu hadn't finished production of human arms, and only had two bladed chariots.
But through the news from the spies, Xiao Yu knew that it would take at least a month before they could attack the city, and in this month, he could do a lot of things.
Kalu would often send some spies over to find out about Xiao Yu's orc troops, but Xiao Yu's hundred elf hunters were not vegetarians.
It can not only have shadow escape, but also be able to maneuver quickly on a leopard. It also has the eyes of elves, which can see much farther than humans. It can be ignored at night, and it can have night eyes. With such scouts, the opponent's spies just approached Within ten miles, they were killed directly.
When they reach level 10, these elf hunters have sentry guards, and they can basically monitor the tens of kilometers around the lion king's territory.
"Nimma, go take out another copycat. This bladed cart has been produced, and we have to test how powerful it is." Xiao Yu looked at the two bladed carts that were supported by two orcs on their shoulders, and was very much looking forward to seeing them. Its prowess in battle.
If it is in other troops, this kind of bladed chariot must be pulled by horses, but Xiao Yu has strong orc infantry here, and two people can carry it away. In this case, it will undoubtedly increase its mobility. .
This time, the cottage Xiao Yu chose was a medium-sized cottage. According to Zhao Hu, there were three or four thousand people in this cottage, but these three or four thousand people were not like the cottage in Tongguan last time, many of them were old and weak women and children. But they are all elite soldiers.
These bandits are very cold-blooded, burning, killing, looting, leaving no one alive, constantly recruiting soldiers, choosing strong soldiers, not wanting any burdens, and gathering a huge strength.
According to Zhao Hu, this cottage is very famous in the entire Lion King Territory, even more famous than his lord. However, such a policy of this cottage has also allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth.
Zhao Hu deduced that this cottage had hoarded at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins and other treasures over the years.
Xiao Yu is also crazy about money now, he needs money in all aspects, and he has to support so many people in the territory. Now that there is no tax, he has to rely on * to obtain income.
So in the end, Xiao Yu set his target on these bandits.
At the same time, he also wanted to test the cooperation of these arms and his command ability through this more challenging battle.
Actual combat is the only criterion for testing the combat effectiveness of troops.
Although these soldiers are all elite soldiers and are very powerful, the coordination of various arms is also a big problem. If the coordination is not good, it will cause a lot of damage and lead to the failure of a battle.
Therefore, Xiao Yu now needs to continue to train his troops to improve his combat effectiveness.
Now, the soldiers Xiao Yu brings are 300 orc infantry, 50 human infantry, 200 elf archers, 50 musketeers, 50 elf hunters, and two bladed chariots.
The remaining part is housekeeping at home, and some have not been fully produced, and the establishment of one thousand is still not enough.
Xiao Yu and the Juggernaut went to observe the terrain first, and then to see if any tricks could be used. In the end, he found that the chances of this cottage being able to use tricks did not seem to be very high.
Zhao Hu was not very familiar with this group of robbers, so he couldn't go in to cheat like last time, and now that Tong Guan's cottage was taken away, some nearby robbers began to pay attention.
Many people also began to spread rumors that some orcs appeared in the recent generation and have attacked several tribes. If this is the case, Xiao Yu dare not take the risk of going to the meeting alone to break into the thief's den.
And this cottage was built against the mountain, and a stone wall more than four meters high had been built in front of it, unlike the wooden fences like other robbers.
It can be said that this bandit den is almost a small city.
Xiao Yu didn't have much experience in siege. Looking at the thick city wall, although it was not as strong as his own Lion King's city wall, it was not so easy to break through. He couldn't help but feel a little worried about how to organize the attack.
He can't attack blindly like Karu, completely ignorant of the opponent, and then lose his troops. It is extremely distressing for Xiao Yu to die alone. After all, his current strength is less than a thousand, so he can't be wasted like Karu who is not afraid of the dead.
The only siege equipment that Xiao Yu has now are these two bladed chariots. Xiao Yu estimates that it should not be a problem for the bladed chariots to blast through the city gate. It should be able to blast open the city gate in less than ten blows.
However, a strong attack is just a bad idea, and the loss may be heavy by then.
The robbers on the city patrol were very meticulous, and they never let up, making sneak attacks difficult.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Xiao Yu decided to fight at night. Because their own arms have a great advantage at night.
At night, the strength of the night elves can be displayed beyond normal, because firstly, they can use shadow escape to hide at night, and secondly, their night eyes allow them to see more clearly in night battles, and they can disappear at any time. But it is clear at a glance to the enemy in the distance, such a sneak attack with a bow and arrow can definitely occupy a great advantage.
In night battles, only dwarves are worse. As we all know, dwarves have poor eyesight. Although they also drill caves and dig mines, their eyesight can only be guided by bright lights, and they don't have the ability to go too far. .
In this case, the Fifty Dwarf Musketeers are useless, but Xiao Yu can only do so.
The eyesight of the orcs is fine at night. Although they are not as strong as the elves, they are not too bad. Don't worry about the human infantry, as they are excellent human fighters, they can also handle it.
Therefore, Xiao Yu carefully waited until night in the nearby forest before acting.
Tonight's moon has only a small crescent, the sky is full of stars, and the cold light shines down, forming the best cover at night.
At a distance of fifty meters, even a powerful human would have difficulty finding anything in front of them, but elves can see clearly from a distance of one hundred meters.
Xiao Yu first led the Juggernaut, Tyrande, and two hundred elf archers, and slowly moved to one side of the city wall. The elf archers went up first, ten of them had reached level 3 and had accurate shooting. Even if the sentinel above noticed something abnormal, when he looked carefully, there was nothing.
Xiao Yu and Juggernaut sneaked from a corner of the city wall where there were few sentries, and then slowly climbed up.
For Grom, the four-meter-long city wall was just for fun. His height reached 2.56 meters, and he could reach the top of the city wall with a little jump.
But Xiao Yu was in difficulty.
The city wall of more than four meters is as high as a two-story building, and it is very difficult for him to go up.
In the end, he had no choice but to hold on tightly to the huge feet of the Juggernaut. When the Juggernaut climbed up hard, he was also thrown up.
After Xiao Yu arrived at the city wall, he immediately pinched his nose and almost fainted from the smoke. How many days has it been since the Juggernaut's feet haven't been washed? Next time they have to do a group personal hygiene cleaning.
When they got to the city wall, relying on the invisibility of the Windwalk, even if the opponent was within two meters, it would be difficult to detect it.
The Juggernaut and Xiao Yu didn't dare to use their swords to attack lightly, lest the reflected light be noticed by others. Both Juggernauts stepped forward and hugged each other's head, covered their mouths, twisted hard, click, and the neck broke , did not hum at all.
The archers below also began to wait for the opportunity to launch at this time. Tyrande and ten elf archers who had reached the third level shot at the sentinels who had gone far and left alone on the city wall. It was too late to call.
In this way, after killing more than a dozen sentries on the other side's city wall in a row, the remaining people on the other side became a little suspicious, because those sentry patrols were all carrying torches.
But before they had time to see what was wrong, the archers below had already attacked again and shot through their throats. For the remaining two, the Juggernaut went up with two fists and directly hit the throats of these two people, directly smashing their Adam's apples. broken.
So far, the sentries on one side of the city wall have been completely cleared.
