Looking at the army that the other side had already assembled, Xiao Yu was still drinking red wine leisurely there, having nothing to do with teasing Xiaolong, and he didn't look like he was in front of him at all. Now the little dragon has grown a bit bigger, and his pair of wings have become harder, and he can fly up in a fluttering manner.
Moreover, Xiaolong's breath is much more powerful than before. A breath of flames can roll up a person and burn him to death. Therefore, Xiao Yu had a fantasy about the little dragon that he would ride for himself when he grew up. Who wouldn't want to be a dragon knight
Through Osilia's reminder, Xiao Yu remembered that the little dragon is a dragon after all, if he keeps feeding it some ordinary food, such as roasted chicken and duck, the original wildness in the little dragon's body will be lost.
Therefore, when Xiao Yu was in Tito City, he bought a large amount of raw meat from monsters and brought them to Xiaolong to eat.
At the beginning, Xiaolong was not used to eating such bloody things, but Xiao Yu forced Xiaolong to eat these things, otherwise, he would have nothing else to eat.
The poor little dragon was tearful every day. He took a bite of the monster's meat and looked up at Xiao Yu. His appearance really broke the hearts of those who saw it and shed tears when they heard it.
Xiwen couldn't get used to it, and often secretly took advantage of Xiao Yu's inattention to give Xiaolong a few snacks that it usually likes to eat. Xiao Yu saw it occasionally, but turned a blind eye. Educating children, sometimes you can't take it too seriously.
At this time, the orcs had already learned that someone was coming to attack. Out of hatred for human beings, they are all gearing up to fight hard.
Xiao Yu also vaguely felt that the orcs' hatred for humans would be a hidden danger, and he had to be corrected slowly in the future to let them know that humans are not all bad people. Otherwise, it is easy to cause large-scale ethnic conflicts, just like the history in Warcraft.
However, today's human beings do not treat orcs as equal creatures, but as low-level beasts, who feel that they can be killed and raised at will.
If Xiao Yu wanted to use these orcs reasonably, he had to resolve these contradictions. After he planned to go back, he would slowly popularize the concept of equality of all races in the area of Lion King City, not allow to stir up racial conflicts, and slowly integrate the various races.
After this period of training, although the orcs are not very proficient in using the ballista, there is basically no problem with aiming and launching.
At this time, Tyrande kept riding the leopard out to observe the opponent's military situation, and then came back to report.
Through Tyrande's report, Xiao Yu learned that the opponent has gathered about 3,000 troops, all of them are well-equipped, and all of them are cavalry.
However, they are all light cavalry, not heavy cavalry.
After all, they were doing volleys this time. It would be impossible to use heavy cavalry to volley. Heavy cavalry are powerful, but they move slowly and have poor endurance. They can't run for a long time.
Only this kind of mobile light cavalry can achieve the best surprise effect.
It's just that Xiao Yu's deployment reduced their advantage of the light cavalry a lot. Although there are only 500 people on his side, Xiao Yu has absolute confidence to wipe out the opponent.
Since the opponent appeared, he had been preparing for more than an hour, but he still didn't take the initiative to attack. They sent some cavalry to make a tentative attack, but found it extremely difficult to cross the obstacles made by Xiao Yu. Even if he passed through the gaps in the obstacles, he would no longer be able to charge at all, and he would be sent up to be killed.
There is a saying in Rommel's famous military saying that as long as the troops rest and garrison, they must build fortifications quickly. Intensive firepower and solid fortifications are the key to reducing casualties.
Although Xiao Yu is not an orthodox military strategist, he still knows this kind of common sense. Building more fortifications can improve his own strength by several levels.
Therefore, when he was free these days, he asked the orcs to cut down countless trees, sharpen their heads, tie them into several rows, and then insert them upside down at the bottom of the slope, forming a very favorable position.
Xiao Yu's current combat thinking is the trench warfare thinking of the First World War, and this is also the way of fighting. No matter how high the opponent's military level is, it is still far behind him in terms of ideological level.
With these obstacles, the opponent's cavalry has basically lost half of its power. No one would have thought that Xiao Yu would stay here and not leave.
Originally, they were all equipped with cavalry to prevent Xiao Yu from escaping, but now it seems that they have become a burden instead.
In a situation surrounded by enemies and being hunted all the time, the subconscious of ordinary people must be to quickly run back to their lair so that they can feel at ease.
But who would have thought that Xiao Yu would be so bold that he dared to just stay like this and not leave. In this case, all their ambushes will be ineffective. It's impossible for them to lie in wait for Xiao Yu to come over, who has that patience.
The cavalry was unable to charge, and the opponent occupied favorable terrain and convenient fortifications. The commander was also in a dilemma, not knowing how to attack properly.
It is naturally impossible for their cavalry to carry any heavy weapons, so there is no way to conduct large-scale long-range attacks.
"Send a vanguard of 500 people, dismount and become infantry, and rush up to clear these obstacles." Finally, the commander issued such an order.
If you don't know these obstacles, the cavalry is just a decoration, and it is useless at all. Such an obstacle, it would be a fool to send cavalry to charge.
After receiving the order, 500 cavalry immediately dismounted, holding small shields and short swords, and charged quickly to clear the obstacles, while the other cavalry prepared behind, and once the obstacles were cleared, they charged.
Seeing five hundred cavalrymen turning into infantry and rushing over, Xiao Yu poked his head out of the carriage, holding red wine, lying on the edge of the window, squinting his eyes, not in a hurry.
It wasn't until the 500 people reached less than 200 meters that Xiao Yu lazily said: "All the orc warriors are ready to attack with hand axes when they reach the obstacle. Within ten seconds, give me ten Throw all the axes out, whoever can't finish throwing away will not be given food tonight. Moreover, no one is allowed to rush down the slope without my order, otherwise, they will be whipped ten times as punishment."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu continued to tease Xiaolong.
Grom was now standing on the top of the slope, directing the battle. Xiao Yu let Grom also learn to command this time. After all, he needs to be the leader of the orcs in the future, and he just needs to be able to fight and kill.
Soon, these infantry rushed forward, and after getting close to the obstacle, they immediately used their shoulders to resist the bundled wooden stakes.
However, they soon discovered to their surprise that they couldn't carry these bundled obstacles at all. A dozen huge logs were sharpened and bundled together. How many catties does that weigh
Even if several orcs carried it together, it was very reluctant. At the beginning, these logs were pulled over and then tied together.
Grom stood on it with a big grin as he watched the soldiers carrying the logs with all their strength, but he didn't give the order to attack immediately.
After following Xiao Yu for a long time, he naturally learned a lot of Xiao Yu's tactics and bad ideas. Since they couldn't handle it, why were they so anxious to attack
Sure enough, these human soldiers couldn't bear it at all, so many of them continued to go in, trying to cut off the ropes that bound the logs from behind. This time, their formation dispersed.
At this time, Grom roared, "Let go."
After receiving the order, the orc warriors immediately swung the hatchets in their hands and smashed them out fiercely. For a moment, the sky seemed to be covered by something, densely packed, like a group formed by countless bats.
Before they had time to react, the second wave of hand axes had already gone to the sky.
Puff puff…
The sound of axes piercing into the flesh sounded, these soldiers were directly hit by several axes before they had time to take any precautions.
Some soldiers held up small shields to resist, but the small shields of this kind of cavalry were very small and light in weight, so they couldn't stop the flying axes roaring all over the sky. Sometimes, an ax directly smashed the small shield into pieces.
Only a few clever soldiers moved forward quickly and hid under the obstacle, which saved them from trouble. The other soldiers were all dead when the fifth round of hand axes came down.
However, these orcs resolutely carried out Xiao Yu's order, and threw out all the remaining five axes, and smashed them on the corpses of these soldiers.
The effect of flying axes all over the sky, as shocking as rain, almost collapsed the spirits of the soldiers hiding under the obstacles, and the cavalry who were waiting not far away also stayed there, unable to say a word for a long time .
They had never seen such a dense firepower attack.
Rommel said that fierce concentrated fire is the key to victory. Xiao Yu resolutely carried out these famous sayings. If people of this era cannot keep up with Xiao Yu's tactical thinking, they will naturally be doomed.
After all the ten axes were thrown away, these orcs stood there dumbfoundedly, looking at the corpses all over the ground, without moving a muscle.
However, each of them showed a strong bloodthirsty and excitement in their eyes. The blood of the orcs was already boiling. Xiao Yu's tactics and the huge results achieved made them more confident and unwavering in Xiao Yu's leadership. In the past, when they faced regular human troops, they all suffered losses.
They gradually believed that as long as Xiao Yu led them, they would never lose the battle.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu was very satisfied. Only a strictly disciplined army can win the battle. Otherwise, like before, the orcs would rush up and hack in a swarm when they fought, and they would definitely be killed by the human phalanx.
After more than a minute, there was no sound from both sides, only the north wind whistling past, making whining sounds, as if they were talking about something.
Xiao Yu didn't have an order not to attack, and the cavalry was completely stupid, and didn't know what to do next.
"Go and pick up all the axes. You must be fast. If you see the opponent attacking, withdraw immediately without any hesitation. Otherwise, you will be whipped ten times." Xiao Yu finally gave the order.
So, the orcs rushed down quickly and picked up the axes. The few soldiers who were hiding under the obstacle didn't dare to come out for more than a minute. They were so frightened that they were so nervous that as long as they went out, they would definitely be shot to death by flying axes all over the sky. , they did not know that the orcs had run out of throwing axes.
So, these orcs came down to pick up the hand axes and killed them one by one casually.
In one battle, the two sides had no contact at all, and killed 500 people from the other side. This kind of record is rare no matter where it is placed.
