World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 90
The Grim Reaper commander's face changed when he saw that the Orcs were not attacking but running around aimlessly. He understood that half of the duel was gone!
Xiao Yu did not follow the conventional battleplay in this duel. He held the advantage of the Grim Reaper in one fell swoop. Grim Reapers are indeed strong but they cannot show their strength!
The Grim Reaper used extremely heavy armor. An ordinary adult would have trouble walking if he wore this armor. Even specially trained warriors could act freely while wearing such heavy armor let alone run after Orcs!
The advantage of the heavy infantry was to use the phalanx formation to advance step by step. This method is suitable when two armies are fighting. In this way, the heavy infantry phalanx could defeat an army ten times their size.
However, they had forgotten that they were not on the battlefield!
They thought there would be a direct attack because this was a duel! The purpose of the attack would be to destroy the enemy formation. That was the reason they had light cavalry and light infantry on both sides to protect themselves.
Nevertheless, no one would have thought that Xiao Yu would just avoid the direct battle and walk away from this fight. The role of the Grim Reapers was lost with this simple move!
In fact, France used the famous Maginot Defense line in the Second World War. The defense is so strong that it is impenetrable. The Germans can't break through it no matter how they try.
But the Guderian theory and the Blitzkrieg Manstein plan were used in this case to counterattack them. They would not directly fight but go around to attack from somewhere else.
Xiao Yu already knew about this famous case and today will use it!
In the original war, the French were too focused on defense as they remained in the trenches of the war. They did not think that the Germans would use such quick attacks on different sides to create chaos. As a result, Germany won within a month even though the opposing side was stronger than them.
Out of box thinking will always affect the outcome of the battle.
This era is a time of cold weapons. Tactics of war are focused on thinking about aspects of the weapon. Xiao Yu knew that the tactics and strategies of the era of hot weapons were much more advanced for several hundred years compared to the theories and strategies of this era.
Perhaps, at this time many would think that the Maginot defensive line was a stupid plan. However, we live a hundred years after the battle took place and we have the cumulative knowledge of that hundred years. But in that era, change of mind is very difficult.
There will probably be some people who will think of using this method in this era. However, creating a situation on the battlefield would not be that easy.
Guderian's studies were incompatible with his time. In addition, you must have the right weapons, the right terrain, and be present at the right time to achieve success. Xiao Yu knew that the arena was such a place and was perfect for a blitzkrieg!
In fact, this method would not work on the actual battlefield. Because on the battlefield, all 500 orcs had to face the Grim Reaper head-on. Moreover, there would be a large number of light infantry and cavalry units attacking from behind the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reapers are attackers! Their mission was to break through the enemy formation. After the collapse of the enemy formation the cavalry will go in to finish off the enemy units.
On the actual battlefield, the cavalry units would not allow the enemy forces to act in such a manner. This method could only be used when only heavy infantry were present!
The enemy had 200 light cavalry and light infantry. But what could they do 500 orcs? Needless to say what would happen if the light infantry were to go to war with the Orcs. Xiao Yu was able to get away from the Grim Reaper while he slowly killed all the light cavalry and light infantry.
“Jenius! He is a military genius!” Many cursed and scorned Xiao Yu's escape but there were also nobles and nobles who understood military tactics.
On the surface it seemed that Xiao Yu was like a child playing around but in reality it was a strategy that no commander could do or do.
Most of the nobles thought of Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Zhan Tian! The invincible Great Marshal of the Dynasty!
…
…
The Grim Reaper Commander was stunned for a long time. He ordered the Grim Reapers to stop and temporarily remain silent. In fact, he had no plan of attack. At first, he planned to use a hundred light cavalry and a hundred light infantry to ensnare Orcs and use the army of Grim Reapers to slowly kill them.
But the area is too big! Orcs could escape as long as they were willing to act like that! If he used to attack them rashly with light cavalry and light infantry then his army would be wiped out!
Xiao Yu ordered the Orcs to stop when he saw the Grim Reapers stop moving.
“Stand silent! … Get into the right line! Look at this trash! I lost face because of all of you!” Xiao Yu thought of his gym teacher as he reprimanded the Orcs.
Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction after the orcs lined up neatly: "Excellent."
After which, he narrowed his eyes and turned towards the army of Grim Reapers: “Soldiers of Grim Reapers troops! Suddenly, I wanted to write a poem. Inevitably I want to express myself in this way so listen to me carefully! This poem reads like this, autumn! It is summer. Summer. Who will remember the petals and leaves from this autumn of the year in the next year? Soldiers of the Grim Reaper army! Who will remember you next year if you die today? I say, cherish your life and obediently give up! Surrender to the greatest king, yours truly is Xiao Yu, so that your life does not wither like those leaves and petals!”
Xiao Yu plagiarized the content of Goebbels' poetry to weaken the spirit of the Grim Reaper army.
Some of the smart soldiers from the Grim Reaper army also understood that the situation was not good. They knew that it was impossible for them to chase Orcs while wearing heavy armor.
If they dared to chase after the enemy then they would be exhausted and killed in one strike!
“Do you think you can break through our formation? If you think you have the ability, go ahead and attack us! We might not be able to defeat you right now, but you won't be able to do anything to us either!” The commander is not stupid. He planned to remain silent instead of chasing and waiting for the enemy's attack!
The audience was disappointed when they saw that the Grim Reaper commander did not plan to attack as well! They hoped that Xiao Yu would take the initiative to attack but the chances were too small! Xiao Yu had chosen to avoid the battle since the beginning of the duel! Why did he rush to attack now?
It would end in a stalemate if both sides did not attack! This way the duel will end in a draw! Many people thought that the battle would end so. Although there was never a lottery in the colosseum but it was a situation that no one could even dream of. Could it be that Grand Duke Simm would let the duel end in a draw?
Xiao Yu shouted: "Do you think I dare not attack you? I'm just giving you a chance to save your skin! Don't blame me because it's your choice!”
Xiao Yu chose 100 strong orcs and left the others behind. The high orcs from the previous battle wanted to participate in the attack. Name's Emperor. He had temporarily become the leader of this orc group ever since their tribe leader was killed. But Xiao Yu told him that as a leader he should put the survival of his people first. Caesar nodded as he pondered over the matter.
…
…
100 Orcs holding large wood. Aside from them, Grom, Tyrande, and the baby dragon were also there. Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the 100 orcs he had just chosen: “Drink the agility potion! Don't drink potion of strength!” The Orcs started drinking from the vials of agility potions.
Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction. He took out his sword and waved it: “ORCS! Follow me!"
