Chapter 44
Someone will do anything when they are crazy. Carrie was forced into such a situation.
His father had three sons and he was the youngest. However, Carrie was the most trusted, most powerful, and most favored of the three brothers. He was the first successor to become the next ruler of the territory. Due to his last failure, his older brothers took the opportunity to attack Carrie's reputation before his father. They want to inherit the god.
Carrie's father was also angry because of her actions. He thought that his son was too incompetent because he was unable to seize the weak Lion town with 5000 soldiers. Carrie's mother had begged her otherwise her father would have punished Carrie a long time ago. In addition, Carrie carried an orc that suppressed her father's anger. As a result, his father lent another 20,000 troops to attack the Lion town.
The essence of giving Carrie 20,000 troops was not just to attack the Lion town but to hone the combat skills of the soldiers. They live in difficult times and Carrie's father plans to expand their territory in this chaotic time.
Carrie's father never thought that his son would fail to capture the Lion town with so many troops, witches, warriors, and siege equipment.
Perhaps, the result would not change even if an experienced general came to lead the attack. But right now the leader of the army is Carrie and all responsibility is on her shoulders.
Carrie did not dare to return at this moment as she had lost nearly 6,000 soldiers out of 20,000 and was unable to capture the Lion town. He knew that no one would say that Xiao Yu was too strong but they would declare that Carrie was incompetent. Carrie has to prove herself. He had to capture the Lion town, obtain the Glaive Throwers, and capture orcs and elves in order for his father to forget the defeat he faced.
As a result, Carrie is desperate to capture the Lion town. He had almost 15,000 troops and if he could not win with strategy and tactics then he would break into the Lion town with just brute force by relying on a number of troops.
He saw that siege tactics using heavy infantry were useless. The only useful thing he had at the moment was the advantage of having a lot of troops.
“I do not believe that the Orcs are invincible! I will use ten times the power to break through the Lion city!”
Carrie saw his army.
“Prepare for battle! Heavy infantry, light infantry, witches, automatic arrow users, warriors, and everyone else will attack the Lion city! Anyone who dared to turn around would be killed on the spot! Either we seize the city or we die here!” A witch helps echo Carrie's voice throughout the camp.
“I want victory! Kill the dirty Orcs, capture the elves, and make them your toys! You only have one way and that is to progress! Kill anyone who fights after you enter the Lion City! Everyone will be free to loot the city for three whole days and get whatever they want as long as you can get into the city!”
Carrie stood on top of the carriage and waved her sword.
“KILL~!!!”
The soldiers were doubtful of the situation but they knew that they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. They thought that they would be able to break through the blockade and enter the city. They would kill right and left as long as they could break through!
In this type of battle where the enemy is doing a siege, the morale of the defending side will be lost when the enemy enters the city.
Because of this, Carrie's forces knew that all they had to do was enter the city. After that, they will have glory, wealth, slaves, and everything they want!
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he stood up and whispered: “Carrie is desperate. It seemed like he could not return as he would be severely punished so he gave his all to seize the Lion town. He will not follow the art of war and will rely on pure numbers to suppress us.. It's a big problem..”.
In the end, Xiao Yu did not have that many troops. Moreover, Captain Hui's army was useless in a sense. He knew that it would be very difficult to use 1,000 troops to fight at least 10 times the enemy.
Xiao Yu wanted to rely on tactics and stratagems to win. But Carrie was going to force her way so Xiao Yu had to hit hard.
"At least he really meant it." Xiao Yu placed the glass in his hand. He knew that it was time to test the grunts on the battlefield.
"Kill~~~" Carrie's troops roared as they began to attack.
"Grunts roars at them!" Xiao Yu ordered. The most important thing on the battlefield is momentum. He must raise the morale of the Lion town.
Five hundred grunts began to roar at the same time. It was as if tens of thousands of wolves were howling.
No one in the city could hear each other's voices due to the roar of the snort.
"Launch the Destroyer." Xiao Yu calculated the distance. He had to deal with the catapults of the enemy.
wusss~~
The stones flew and whistled in the sky. They're crumbling.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
The people who were in the scope of the crushing stone were mostly killed. Only 1/3 of them survive.
“Shoot catapult on the left side. Five Destroyers, aim and shoot!” Xiao Yu saw that the enemy had divided the catapult into two groups. The interval between the two is far away. That's why he used five destroyers to aim at one catapult. Even if 4 does not hit one will.
Buzz~~
The stones fell and destroyed the catapult and the soldiers who pushed it.
“Second group! Aim for the first catapult from the right side. Attack!" Xiao Yu once again ordered.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
This attack managed to destroy another catapult. However, the enemy had nearly 10 catapults left and they were only able to destroy 2 of them. The soldiers quickly pushed the catapult. Xiao Yu knew that once the catapults reached a distance where they could attack his troops, they would pose a great threat to the grunts and even the bachelors.
“Four Glaive Throwers! Aim for the second catapult from the right side! Shoot it!" Xiao Yu issued another order.
He has 10 glaive throwers. Six of them were near the city gates while four of them were above the walls.
In fact, both Demolishers and Glaive Throwers were much more effective if they shot from above the wall.
Chi~ Chi~ Chi~
Four blades were fired from the glaive pitcher. They whistle in the air.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
One of them hit the catapult and made the machine bend. 3 others did not succeed.
The accuracy of the Glaive Thrower was not good in long-range attacks. However, Xiao Yu had used 4 of them so that at least 1 of them would successfully shoot down the slingshots.
If he only used 1 glaive thrower then it might take a long time even without successfully hitting the catapult. In addition, the other blades do not hit the catapult but cut the army in half, which is a thrilling visual impact on the enemy.
The enemy soldiers had reached the foot of the wall while catapults were used to push towards the city. Some of them rushed towards the gate.
Archers had started firing long ago as the grunts were setting the Glaive Throwers near the gate so they were ready to launch at any time.
