Chapter 39
Carrie did not plan on talking nonsense with Xiao Yu like last time. So he waved his hand to signal to the commander in front to set up a formation according to the training they were practicing before they left.
Last time, Xiao Yu showed his middle finger which made Carrie's mood unstable. He did not want to waste time now and seize the city as soon as possible. He could not wait to step on Xiao Yu and vent his anger.
His 20,000 soldiers were divided into ten ranks. Carrie has learned from the last failure. He knew that his territory was not at war for a long time so the combat effectiveness of his troops was low. However, this time he had trained them for a month and they had done a lot of tactics and strategies before coming to the Lion town.
Boom~
The infantry began to move and formed a phalanx. The voice that resounded after their footsteps was like music that suppressed the hearts of their enemies and boosted their own morale.
Warrior Captain Hui would be bedwetting now if not for Xiao Yu who had eased the atmosphere before Carrie's troops came. Xiao Yu showed contempt for the enemy which made normal soldiers believe in victory.
The enemy troops were about 400 meters away from the city walls. The infantry holding the stairs started to accelerate their speed and ran towards the wall. Carrie had chosen a simple and practical formation.
About ten ladders were carried by light infantry from the right and left sides. They had gone through many exercises to ensure that the stairs would not fall when they acted in real combat.
In addition, there were about 20 catapults pushed by the soldiers behind the first row. Each catapult is capable of throwing stones weighing 400 meters. It would be used to suppress the city archers.
Carrie did not waste any effort on this battle. They only had 10 catapults in their territory so he borrowed another 10 from other regions.
Ordinary warriors would not be able to shoot arrows at the top of the high city walls but catapults achieved this feat easily. In addition, the last time an enemy archer had injured and crippled Carrie's archer so she would intentionally use a slingshot to suppress all archers.
In the second row, both sides were also protected by the light infantry soldiers— but in the middle there were heavy infantry soldiers equipped with military bows. They would be able to suppress the archers above as normal soldiers tried to climb the stairs.
Xiao Yu praised the luxurious line. Let alone the Lion town, Xiao Yu thought that Carrie could seize the capital of Wei kingdom with such an army.
Unfortunately, Carrie had met Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he sipped a glass of red wine.
"Open the gate." Xiao Yu ordered.
The grunts began to immediately open the gates. Captain Hui was surprised: "Master, what are you doing? Do you want to give up? Why are you opening the city gates now? ”
Xiao Yu replied: “It's a good day. Why did I give up? Uncle Hui you just wait and see .... You'll see soon enough.
The grunts instantly opened the gate according to Xiao Yu's orders. The gates rumbled to the side; the lion city looked like an unguarded city. Carrie's troops were about 300 meters from the city when the gates were opened. Both the commander and the army were stunned and stunned as they watched the strange scene. What the hell's going on? Does the enemy want to surrender?
The speed of the soldiers slowed down, finally stopping. The commanders did not know what to do so they ordered the soldiers to stand in formation. They're waiting for Carrie's orders.
Carrie's army's momentum was confounded by Xiao Yu's move. All the soldiers stood still at a distance of 300 meters from the wall as they waited for Carrie's orders.
“Xiao Yu, are you going to give up? If you give up now, I'll let you live and become my slave. I will let you watch every day as I play around with your sister-in-law.hahaha!”
Carrie stand. He felt as if the entire world was prostrating at his feet.
Xiao Yu took a sip from the glass of red wine. He pointed at Grom; the hero raised a large wood carving. The wood was carved to resemble a fist. Middle finger.
Xiao Yu ordered Grom to show it.
"Fuck!" Carrie crushed the jug in her hand angrily.
"Get on! I want you to capture him alive! I want to see his face as we destroy all the women in Lion City! The first person to enter the Lion city would enjoy one of Xiao Yu's brothers-in-law. “Carrie yells as if he's a madman not a noble.
Xiao Yu sat back in his chair like a real man. It was as if he had nothing to do with the middle finger.
"Resigning charges!" The phalanx commanders shouted. The army started moving once again. However, they had entered the range of the archers.
All the elf archer bows had been replaced. Now, they could reach a distance of 200 meters. They were standing on top of the wall so their range was more than that. Moreover, Trueshot Aura Tyrande helped them in terms of their strength and attack range.
The arrows whistled through the air and fell like rain. All the enemy soldiers who entered the distance of 300 meters became their targets.
The range of the shooter is much further. However, their accuracy was very poor.
Usually, the archer's attack rate decreases when the enemy initiates the attack. Moving targets are not good targets to shoot at. In addition, they will be able to reach the wall and use the stairs for no more than a minute. However, their momentum was broken. The second charge is a completely different matter. Everyone knew about the gap in initial speed and peak speed.
Arrows were pouring down from the air. The slain soldiers began to hinder the people who were chasing them.
Initially, they would reach the wall in a minute. However, that time frame increased by several times. The archers were able to make dozens of shots during that time period.
The archers are deadly. The shooters also intensively shot at the enemy. The enemy soldiers must pray to their gods to stay alive.
After all, by the time the phalanx reached the city wall, the first column of the phalanx was dead. The commanders had to send a second column to attack.
It was a huge blow to the morale of Carrie's troops as they watched the entire line of infantry soldiers die before even reaching the city.
The psychological tactics Xiao Yu used were successful.
“Enemies ten times their size as many as millions attacked Qin. Qin opened the gate but the enemy did not dare.”.
Xiao Yu whispered his musings about Qin's theory of Jia Yi: “The experience and tactics of the ancients were very useful. I opened the gate but they did not dare to move forward. ”
