Long Hui is also stepping up his military training these days, because Xiao Yu promotes super good soldier treatment, high military pay, several times better than farming, family members who die in battle have pensions, and lifetime tax exemption, so it greatly stimulates young people to join the army.
Now, Long Hui has more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, but because many of them are new recruits without much actual combat experience, Long Hui can only step up training to make them become qualified soldiers as soon as possible. As for equipment, they have no shortage. Most of Xiao Yu's robber resources are armor and weapons.
Seeing Xiao Yu approaching, all the soldiers immediately stopped their training, and under the leadership of Long Hui, they gave a standard military salute to Xiao Yu. Long Hui is a professional soldier, so he has extremely strict requirements on the words and deeds of this kind of soldiers. Standard military etiquette and military norms are the most basic common sense.
After these soldiers gave a standard military salute, everyone looked at Xiao Yu with extreme respect and admiration.
They also saw the supplies and slaves this morning. The lord went out and brought back so many things casually, which made them full of confidence in the lord and the future of the territory. .
Xiao Yu smiled and waved to let them continue training, then called Long Hui over.
"Uncle Long, how is the situation on Kalu's side?" Xiao Yu asked. Long Hui must be fully responsible for inquiring about the news.
It is not very difficult to go to Karoo to find out the news now. Because Karoo's territory hadn't experienced too many wars before, the blockade of news was not very strict. Just send a few people in pretending to be caravans, and they can hear the news.
Although the princes in various places are separated, there are not many large-scale wars between them.
"Master, according to the information sent by the spies, Karu has assembled at least 20,000 troops, including heavy infantry, no less than five magicians, and no less than thirty fighters. We are in the running-in of the battle, and may attack us at any time. Because Karoo wants to show off his huge strength and put pressure on us, the information is not kept secret, and it is easy to find out. They also claimed that this time Cut off the heads of all the orcs, and return them for decoration."
Long Hui stood straight, like a javelin, and reported to Xiao Yu seriously.
Judging by his respectful and rigorous attitude, it is obvious that he has recognized Xiao Yu's status as the lord. In the past, he only recognized Xiao Zhantian as the lord. As for Xiao Yu, he only regarded him as a young master, so he always spoke Not like this.
After the last battle of defending the city, as well as the last two victories Xiao Yu won from the bandits, the large amount of supplies he brought back, and a series of policies implemented by Xiao Yu, Long Hui completely approved of Xiao Yu.
He believes that under the leadership of Xiao Yu, the Lion King Territory may really be able to get out of the predicament and prosper.
After listening to Long Hui's words, Xiao Yu nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Let them come, they can just send us some equipment."
Looking at Xiao Yu's indifferent expression, Long Hui couldn't help reminding: "Master, Kalu's army this time is no small matter. Even if you have an orc army, it may be difficult to resist this time. This time they have hoplites , in history, when the human race wiped out the orc race, they used heavy infantry, heavy cavalry and magicians on a large scale. The orc soldiers are indeed very powerful. An adult orc soldier can fight against five elite human soldiers without any problem. Even more, but the orcs are much lacking in terms of army formation and tactics. When ten orc soldiers face ten human soldiers, there is no doubt that human soldiers will be wiped out instantly, but a hundred orc soldiers A phalanx composed of a hundred human heavy infantry will be tied and each other will suffer damage, but if a thousand orc soldiers face a thousand human heavy infantry, the orc soldiers will be at a disadvantage. If the army is combined with the breakthrough of the heavy cavalry and the powerful magic attack of the magician, the orcs will definitely have no power to fight back. They are personal heroes, but it is difficult to become a strong team. This time, Kalu's army There is no shortage of hoplites and magicians, fighters, and all kinds of siege equipment. Your orc troops are too small to resist."
Hearing Long Hui's words, Xiao Yu naturally knew that Long Hui was worried that the Lion King's army was too small, and there were only one or two thousand men in total, and it was impossible to fight against an elite army of more than 20,000.
However, Xiao Yu is not worried about this at all. His trump card is not just a simple and strong orc infantry. The cooperation of various arms is the kingly way.
With these arms in his hands, plus the blade chariots and catapults, and guarding the city, as long as the command is proper, it is no problem to kill 20,000 soldiers.
The level of the current orc soldiers and elf archers has been greatly improved. The first batch of 200 orc soldiers and 200 elf archers who followed Xiao Yu, as long as they are not dead, have already reached level 3. also reached level 4.
Up to level 3, the strength of the orc infantry will increase by at least 30%. With the effect of berserk, one orc soldier can kill seven or eight elite human soldiers without any problem.
After the archers reach level 3, they all have precision shooting skills, and they can even shoot directly into the eyes when dealing with some heavy infantry.
Although heavy infantry can cover their entire body with armor, they cannot cover their eyes. In this case, the strength of the opponent will be weakened by several percent.
Moreover, Tyrande has a powerful aura, and the archer's range and attack power have been further increased.
Coupled with the newly-appeared musketeers, human infantry, blade chariots, and catapults, these are unexpected by Karoo, and they can all play a role of surprise. If they come, let them all be buried here.
Xiao Yu is very confident about his troops and his command. However, Xiao Yu was suddenly very interested in what Long Hui said just now.
However, what he was interested in was not how strong Karoo's army was, but the history of that year. Did a war between humans and orcs really break out in this world
"Uncle Long, in this history, did there really have been a powerful orc empire, elf kingdom? Did human soldiers really defeat the army of the orc empire?" Xiao Yu took this opportunity to ask carefully, so as to solve this problem The question of where the world really is.
Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Long Hui couldn't help curling his lips, and said, "Master, this knowledge is found in books. You usually don't like to read books, so you don't understand these histories. Orcs also had powerful The empire, under the leadership of their orc god Thrall, used to be extremely prosperous, but then for some unknown reason, their god disappeared, so the orc empire began to decline, and the elves were similar. They are huge, and they can be found in every mountain range, but then their tree of life was destroyed, and then they failed to recover."
Hearing what Long Hui said, Xiao Yu cursed secretly in his heart: "Damn, there really is Thrall, Tyrande is the god of the elves, and Thrall is the god of the beast race. Could it be the continent of Azeroth back then? What special changes happened later to become what it is today?"
Xiao Yu suddenly felt a headache. This seems to be a very huge historical problem. It seems that it will take a lot of work to solve it.
"I have to read a book when I have time." Xiao Yu thought about it.
"Okay, Uncle Long, you can train them. I will take care of the city defense, and I will definitely make this kid Kalu suffer another big loss. Don't forget, I am the god of the beast race, the god of the elves, and the god of the elves." How could the king appointed by the gods of the dwarves not be able to deal with even one Karu?"
Xiao Yu grinned, and brought out his magic theory again to comfort Long Hui.
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Long Hui naturally didn't believe a single word. If the god of the beast race chose someone like Xiao Yu as the king of this era, he would definitely be blind.
But somehow, seeing Xiao Yu's confident appearance, he seemed to feel that this battle could really be won. Wasn't it the same last time? Xiao Yu just brought those orc soldiers and defeated Kalu's 5,000 troops. This time, maybe he can really create another miracle.
If all of Kalu's 20,000 troops are defeated this time, Kalu will no longer have the strength to attack the Lion King's Territory. It can be developed step by step.
The key to everything is to resist Kalu's massive attack this time.
