"What's going on? What's going on? They're just five hundred orcs, how could they become so powerful? Where did they get so many ballistas? And they can shoot so intensively?" the commander Roaring in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Just now, he also saw with his own eyes the intensity of Xiao Yu's firepower. However, what made him elusive was how Xiao Yu could inflict such intense firepower and create such an astonishing blow effect.
It is estimated that at least hundreds of crossbow carts are needed to form such intensive shooting, but Xiao Yu only has five hundred orcs in total. How did he form such intensive and continuous shooting of crossbow bolts
Originally, he thought that with this ten-man phalanx of infantry, he could easily kill the opponent's orcs. However, unexpectedly, it was another disastrous defeat by the opponent.
In this era, the transmission of news is not as developed as in Xiao Yu's era. They have already come out to ambush in advance. Naturally, it is impossible to know that Xiao Yu bought so many ballistas in Tito City.
Moreover, after Xiao Yu bought the ballista, it was covered with cloth, so most people couldn't see it. Some assassins came to spy, but they were either killed by Tyrande and Océlia, or they couldn't see clearly from a distance.
Even if they knew that Xiao Yu had bought weapons from the Hammer of the God of War, they would have thought they were bringing them back to the Lion King's Territory for use. They never thought that Xiao Yu was using it to deal with them.
Because, in this era, unless it is a very powerful magic item, otherwise, there are very few strategic weapons that can completely change a possession.
If these ballistas were placed in the hands of other people, they would not be so powerful. First, they did not have Xiao Yu's idea of focusing fire and shooting. Second, they did not have such powerful units as orcs. You can hold the ballista to shoot, and then quickly switch positions to fill.
Moreover, most people buy ballistas with one slot, so that they can aim better, but Xiao Yu directly buys five slots, which are completely covering attacks and do not seek accuracy. Originally, the Hammer of the God of War only had three slots at most, but Xiao Yu forced them to add two more slots, completely ignoring the accuracy. Although paying a little more money, it is still worth it.
All of this is the collision of advanced military ideas.
Just imagine, when the machine gun was just invented, all the military scientists of that era refused to use the machine gun because they thought the machine gun was expensive. Poor Maxim did not receive a few orders when he participated in the World Expo until many years later. , People gradually realized the importance and epochal nature of machine guns, and became the biggest killer of World War I, which directly led to the emergence of trench warfare and the death of tens of millions of people, which has never been seen in any war in history.
Even people of that era didn't realize the importance of machine guns, a weapon that changed the era, let alone how people of this era could realize the power of the five-slot ballista scattered over a wide range.
After shooting, Xiao Yu ordered the orcs to continue running down to retrieve the used crossbow bolts. Although they brought a lot this time, they still need to return the particles to the warehouse. This kind of covering blow is very cool, but it is indeed a waste of arrows.
Seeing the orcs picking up crossbow arrows, the commander of the human cavalry didn't dare to send anyone up to attack. He was completely frightened by Xiao Yu and the others.
If it was just one time, he would still be able to accept it, but two such large-scale attacks made him completely at a loss.
So, the war situation has been dragged on.
Xiao Yu ordered a few orc soldiers to keep watch, and the others rested where they were, and played backgammon to pass the time, otherwise, how tiring it would be to stand stupidly all the time.
So, the human commander was quite surprised to find that the orcs were chatting there, bragging about bragging, and playing chess, but they didn't take them seriously at all.
Insulting, this is a blatant insult to them.
However, in the face of this insult, they have nothing to do. They dare not charge at all now, otherwise, the result will still be the same as before.
help? Where are the reinforcements? This is not the Principality of Kahn. The army can be moved at will. It is already a big risk for their three thousand cavalry to go to other people's territory. Once they are found to be the troops of the Principality of Kahn, it will cause conflict between the two countries. Although they didn't play any banners, they were disguised as robbers, but are they all fools? Can't see how elite these cavalry are? Where did such an elite bandit come from
Moreover, if the army is transferred on a large scale, people will not be able to find it
retreat? How to retreat? The Grand Duke has always been strict in governing the army when he came to Xim, so the end of going back like this is to destroy the family, and the whole family will not have to live. They can die on the battlefield, but they absolutely cannot go back in such a failure. This is the character of Grand Duke Himlai.
drag? How do they drag? Xiao Yu can stay here, but if it’s not possible, Xiao Yu can run back to Tito City and stay for a few more days, because Xiao Yu entered here blatantly, and belongs to the passing nobles, and the other party will not treat them. However, these people entered the country illegally, and they would be attacked if they were discovered.
The commander is completely helpless at this time. Originally, when he received this mission, he still thought it was an opportunity to show his bravery. He could take back many orc heads and hang them on the wall for decoration, bringing glory to the family.
After all, 3,000 elite cavalry, no matter what, can kill 500 orcs, let alone they are still elite. However, their elites did not have any chance to display them at all, and they were all dead before reaching the front of the opponent.
It seems that they and Xiao Yu are not fighting on the same plane, and they don't let you have a chance to make a move.
This is tactics.
Now, this commander finally understands the mood of Death Scythe Infantry Commander Lancelot. Facing such an opponent, he can only have four words, and he wants to cry but has no tears.
"This Duke Lion King is indeed a real general. I underestimated him." At this time, the commander said lightly. At this moment, his heart has also calmed down, because he knows that he probably won't be able to go back alive.
Since there is already a mortal ending, there is nothing to be afraid of.
At that time, it was the same against the Death Scythe infantry. They defeated the opponent just after the start of the game, and it is the same now. They have already won the victory just after the start of the game.
He lost, and he was convinced that he lost.
"Wait, wait until night, everyone will launch the last attack with me. The glory of the Death Scythe infantry must not be desecrated, and the glory of our Glorious Knights must not be desecrated. Tonight, if you don't succeed, you will succeed."
Finally, the commander uttered such words.
All the cavalry listened, and their hearts sank. They also knew that they had no way out, and only had this last desperate chance, the last chance to use their own blood to wash away the shame of their defeat.
Seeing that they stopped attacking and began to get together to rest, Xiao Yu immediately understood what they were thinking. Immediately, after a few orders, Xiao Yu went to take a nap so that he could recharge his energy and watch the night's battle.
Xiao Yu remembered that she used to stay up late to watch football. She would sleep in the afternoon and then stay up all night.
At night, all the orcs sat there to rest, and they were not too vigilant. Only Osilia, Tyrande, and a few orc warriors were on patrol.
Tyrande's elven eyes can play a huge role at night, can see far away, and have night vision, so the opponent's every move cannot escape his surveillance at all.
Xiao Yu invited Xiwen over to play backgammon with her.
In the past, if Xiao Yu had invited Xiwen so hastily, Xiwen would definitely not have come to play chess with him. But through this experience, Xiwen's attitude towards Xiao Yu has quietly changed, and now that she is in the middle of a battle, she is nervous, so she still comes over to play chess with Xiao Yu.
Xiwen is actually very smart, but she has low self-esteem because she has always been unpopular in the family.
Now, Xiwen has completely let go of her burdens, her heart is bright, and she looks even more beautiful. While playing chess, Xiao Yu sneaked a look at Xi Wen's radiant and pretty face, and occasionally glanced at her thigh, but lost several games in a row.
All night, the opponent did not attack, as if waiting for something.
Xiao Yu knew that they were waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the darkest moment before dawn to launch an attack, because they wanted the orcs to spend a night of fighting and waiting to consume their physical strength.
The moment before dawn is also the time when people are the most tired, and it is the best time to attack. Since the commander of the opponent can be the commander of a cavalry regiment with 3,000 soldiers, he must not be a fool.
But they didn't know that Xiao Yu directly put these orcs to sleep, and only let Tyrande, Osilia and a few orc soldiers patrol.
How could Xiao Yu be fooled if he wanted to play this kind of psychological tactics.
Sure enough, when there was still an hour before dawn, the whole world was shrouded in darkness. It seemed that a large piece of black cloth covered the whole world.
At this time, Xiwen had already fallen asleep in Xiao Yu's carriage because of her exhaustion, her long eyelashes were shaking slightly, she didn't know what dream she was having.
At this time, Tyrande came into the carriage and said to Xiao Yu indifferently: "They are here."
