When people are crazy, they can do anything. The current Karoo has been forced into such a situation.
Among his father's three sons, he was originally the most trusted, capable, and favored, and he was appointed as the successor of the next lord.
However, because of the failure of the last attack on the Lion King's Territory, his elder brother and second elder brother had already seized this opportunity to attack Karu wantonly, trying to make him lose power, so that they had the opportunity to inherit the lord.
Karu's father was also extremely dissatisfied with Karu's action. It was really incompetent that 5,000 people failed to capture a weak Lion King collar that was about to collapse.
Therefore, after going back last time, Karoo's father was also furious. If Karoo's mother hadn't pleaded for mercy, he would have definitely punished Karoo severely.
Karu found some reasons for the orcs, so Karu's father suppressed his anger, and reorganized the army of 20,000, so that Karu could attack again.
His entire army of 20,000 was actually not just for the purpose of attacking the Lion King's Territory. In this era, troubled times are approaching. It is very important to hone the soldiers and horses to expand the territory in the future and gain benefits in this chaos.
Regarding the Lion King Territory, Karoo's father never thought that the 20,000 army, with the help of so many magicians, fighters, and siege equipment, would not be able to defeat it.
Perhaps any general who attacked the Lion King's territory at this time would get the result of Karu, but now Karu is leading the army, so all the responsibilities are on him.
Karu led an army of 20,000 to attack a lion king's territory known as a ruined territory, and more than 6,000 people died. How dare he go back like this
No one would say that Xiao Yu's strength is too strong, only that he is incompetent.
Therefore, Karu had to prove himself. He had to capture the Lion King's Land, get those bladed chariots, get those strange trebuchets, and capture those orcs and elves before he could excuse himself.
If he went back like this, he would face heavy punishment from his father, and no one could protect him.
Now, Karoo's only way out is to put all his eggs in one basket and take the Lion King City to the death. Now, he still has nearly 15,000 people. If he relies on crowd tactics to pile up to death, it may not be impossible to win.
The well-trained infantry phalanx and siege strategy at the beginning seem to be of no great use to Xiao Yu now.
And the only useful thing is the number advantage.
"I don't believe that the orc infantry is that powerful. I can't pile up the Lion King City with ten times your strength."
Karoo's gaze was almost morbidly persistent, and he made a plan to succeed or succeed.
"Everyone is ready, regardless of the heavy infantry, light infantry or magician crossbowmen, all press on me. Whoever dares to take a step back will be beheaded immediately. If you can't take the Lion King City, you all leave the corpses here." Karu The voice echoed throughout the wilderness through the magic of amplification, as if a trapped beast was roaring.
"Rush for me, kill those dirty orcs, capture those elves who think they are noble, and snatch those beautiful women as our playthings, those who retreat will die, there is only one way for you, that is to rush into the Lion King City, kill All those who resist inside. As long as the city is broken, everyone can kill and loot at will for three days, and everything that can be robbed is your own."
Karu stood on the carriage, waving the sword in his hand, his eyes were already red.
"kill… "
Under Karoo's death order, these soldiers also seemed to feel a kind of morale of breaking the boat. Although they were full of doubts about the strange troops ahead that caused them heavy losses, they still had an absolute numerical advantage. It was only with the help of the thick city wall that they blocked their footsteps. As long as they break through the city wall, they can win and kill wantonly in the Lion King City.
The siege battle depends on when the city can be broken. Once the city is broken, the morale of the defending side will inevitably drop, lose the will to resist, and be defeated directly.
Therefore, they feel that it is understandable for so many people to die under the city, because the other party has a tall city wall, and what they have to do is to rush into the city wall, where their glory, their wealth, and their slave girl, so they are going to rush in.
Xiao Yu sat on the rocking chair at the top of the city, listened to Kalu's yelling, squinted his eyes, and murmured: "This Kalu really dares to go all out, it seems that he is also forced to have nowhere to go, go back He will be severely punished afterwards, so he will do everything he can to capture the Lion King City. This time, he did not attack according to the formation of the military method, but purely suppressed by the superiority of numbers, which is also a big trouble."
After all, Xiao Yu's troops were too small, and the soldiers under Long Hui's command could not play much of a role. With just a thousand people, it would be extremely difficult for even the orcs to withstand ten times the strength of the troops.
At this time, although Xiao Yu also wanted to rely on tactics to win, but it seemed that there was no good way for this kind of tactics that were completely crowded with people, so he could only fight head-on.
"Looks like it's going to be serious." Xiao Yu stood up and put down his wine glass. He knew that the time to test the fighting power of the orc infantry had come.
"Kill..." The charge of Kalu's army came like a wave, and all the backup ladders, crossbows and other things were taken up, and they charged to the death.
"It's louder than your voice again, orc infantry, yell at them." Xiao Yu gave an order, the most important thing in combat is momentum, once the momentum is worse than the opponent, then it will definitely be in a disadvantageous situation, those soldiers under Long Hui are now A lot of them are starting to have calf cramps, so a morale boost is a must.
Roar…
The orc infantry is the best at this kind of work. Five hundred big mouths roared together, like thousands of wolves howling, forming a wave of sound like the tide of the moon, pressing towards the front.
Immediately, the voice of the Karu soldier was covered, at least the other side's voice could not be heard from the city head, the orc's voice was really too loud.
This time, Xiao Yu could no longer carry out the empty city strategy, and Kalu's soldiers rushed towards the head of the city in one go.
"Catapult, get ready, launch." Xiao Yu calculated the distance and gave the catapult an order. Now, since the opponent has given up the formation of heavy infantry, the catapult can no longer be used to deal with heavy infantry. Xiao Yu only needs to keep an eye on the opponent's ballista and catapult.
woo woo...
The stones flew in the air, with a sound like howling ghosts and wolves, and fell down in pieces like hailstones from the sky.
bang bang bang...
In the area covered by the catapult, less than one-third of the people could survive, and most of them were killed directly.
"Their ballistas are coming, aim at the first row of ballistas on the left, the first group of five catapults, and prepare to shoot in salvo." Xiao Yu saw that the other party actually separated all the ballistas, between the two catapults, The distance between them is extremely far, so it would be too wasteful for ten catapults to attack together, so the catapults were divided into two groups.
Even if there are five catapults, all of them attacking in a range of gravel, they can kill a ballista.
buzz buzz...
The stones flew, smashing a ballista and the soldiers beside the ballista without any suspense.
"The second group of trebuchets, aim at the first ballista on the right and launch." Xiao Yu gave the order again, and fired from two lines.
bang bang bang...
There was another burst of stone smashing, and a ballista was killed. But the opponent still has more than a dozen ballistas, which continue to move towards the city wall quickly under the push and pull of the soldiers. Once they reach the attack distance, these ballistas can pose a huge threat to the orc infantry at the top of the city. The shields of human infantry can also penetrate directly.
"Four bladed chariots, aim at the second ballista on the right and shoot in salvo." Xiao Yu also issued an order to the orc soldiers on the other side who were controlling the four bladed chariots at the top of the city.
There are ten blade chariots in total, six are placed at the gate of the city, and four are at the top of the city.
In fact, for things like bladed carts, the effect of flat shooting is the best. Shooting down from the top of the city is not as good as the dispersed coverage firepower of the trebuchet.
Unless, if the moon blades issued by these blade cars can turn, they will be more powerful.
chi chi chi...
Under the control of the orc infantry, the four blade chariots immediately shot out four moon blades, with a strong whistling sound, like four huge silver plates, and shot towards the ballista over there.
bang bang bang...
The powerful moon blade hit the ballista, splitting the ballista in half. However, of the four moon blades, only one hit, and the others were all crooked.
The accuracy of the blade car's long-distance attack is also very poor. So it made sense for Xiao Yu to let the four blade chariots shoot together at the same time, at least one of them could be blinded.
Otherwise, let a bladed chariot continue to hit a ballista in seconds, and it may not be able to hit it for a long time.
Although they missed the ballista, those moon blades also hit some of the opponent's soldiers and cut them in half, the visual effect was shocking.
The catapults went to attack the ballista and catapults in the rear, and the soldiers flocked to the foot of the city wall like crazy, some still climbed the city wall, and some rushed to the city gate.
The elf archers have already started shooting, and the orc infantry at the gate of the city have already wound up their knives and are ready to launch at any time.
