World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 97
Xiao Yu was still casually drinking from the red wine and playing around with the baby dragon while looking at the soldiers gathered on the other side. It was as if he did not care about the upcoming war. The baby dragon had grown a little. The wings are harder and they can help him when running at high speed. Moreover, his fire spit was stronger than before. Baby dragons could burn someone now. Xiao Yu stared at the baby dragon while fantasizing about becoming a Dragon Knight.
Leah had told him that if Xiao Yu fed the dragon with ordinary food like roasted chicken, then the dragon would lose its wild side. That was why Xiao Yu bought a lot of raw animal meat when they were in the city of Tito. At first, the baby dragon did not want to eat the bloody meat but Xiao Yu forced him to eat it. The baby dragon would bite down on a piece of raw meat and stare at Xiao Yu with teary eyes.
Siwen sometimes gave snacks to the baby dragons when Xiao Yu did not notice. In fact, he sometimes saw her but closed his eyes to this small matter. He did not want to be too serious when educating the baby dragon.
Orcs were informed of the previous attack. They are ready to fight because of their hatred for humanity. Xiao Yu felt that this hatred would be a hidden danger in the future. He had to slowly teach them that not all humans were evil. Otherwise, racial conflicts will arise at some point in the future, as seen in Azeroth's history.
But humanity today looked at the Orcs as not the same but low-level beasts.
Xiao Yu planned to solve this contradiction in the future. He would popularize the concept of racial equality after he returned to his territory. He would not allow provocation against other races and slowly let different races live together.
Orcs are not good at using ballistas. However, they can aim and launch without any problems.
Tyrande would ride his tiger and observe the enemy and report back at the same time. Xiao Yu learned that the enemy had gathered 3000 soldiers through his report. All of them were light cavalry!
After all, heavy cavalry had poor endurance and its speed was slow compared to light cavalry. In comparison, light-moving cavalry is best for ambushes and ambushes.
Nevertheless, Xiao Yu's trench deployment had reduced the advantage that light cavalry had. Xiao Yu had absolute confidence in winning the battle.
The enemy was on the opposite side for more than an hour but they did not attack. They had sent some cavalry troops to act as scouts but found that it would be very difficult to pass through the obstacles made by Xiao Yu. If they could pass through that gap then their speed would decrease.
Xiao Yu followed Rommel's strategy in this battle. He said that the fort should be built quickly if the troops rest. Strong firepower and sturdy fortifications will always reduce casualties.
Xiao Yu was not a military strategist but he had common sense telling him that building a fortress would increase his strength by several degrees.
As a result, he ordered orcs to cut down trees, sharpen their heads, and tie them in rows. The wood will be inserted into the slope under the terrain.
Xiao Yu used the battle theory from the First World War. His strategy was based on making a trench to excel. The enemy is unprepared for such tactics and strategies.
The cavalry lost half of their battle power with the implementation of the fort. Who would have thought Xiao Yu would decide to stay here?
Originally, they were planning to prevent Xiao Yu from escaping so they carried light cavalry. But now the situation had changed and the light cavalry were useless.
Most people will try to quickly run back to their cage to feel comfortable if they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. But Xiao Yu had made a bold decision to bravely retreat instead of running towards his house. That was the reason that made their ambush fail!
The commander of the enemy forces was unable to come up with a proper plan of attack because the fortress and terrain that Xiao Yu had chosen made the cavalry impossible to attack. Light cavalry did not carry heavy weapons. Moreover, they also did not possess any ranged weapons!
“500 people form the front row! Get down and rush in to clear that hurdle!” The enemy commander shouted.
The cavalry could not move due to obstacles. The enemy commander would be foolish to send his troops with the forts in that place.
500 light cavalry descended from their horses. They held their small shields and daggers and rushed in to clear the obstacles so that other parts of the army could attack.
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he watched from the carriage. He's not in a hurry.
Xiao Yu issued an order when the 500 people were two hundred meters away from the obstacle: “Orc get ready! Within ten seconds after they reached the obstacle, throw all 10 hand axes! The ones who don't throw all the hand axes aren't going to eat tonight! Don't rush down the slope either! Otherwise, punishment! ”
Grom stood on the slope and was the commander responsible for this battle. Xiao Yu wanted to nurture Grom as a capable leader not just a killing machine.
The cavalry used their shields to protect themselves from possible arrows, but they were surprised that no attack was carried out. Moreover, they were surprised to see that they could not move the obstacle. There were more than dozens of large logs tied together in each place.
Even the Orcs could not take them in one go. They pulled the logs and tied them together afterwards.
Grom grinned as he stood on the slope. He had not planned to issue an attack order.
Grom had been following Xiao Yu for a long time and knew how Xiao Yu used tactics. IF the enemy could not move the wood, why would they want to attack?
Enemies come to the depths to cut the rope that binds the wood. They want to spread the logs and move them after that.
That was when Grom shouted: "Get down!"
The Orcs raised their hand axes and threw them away. The sky was covered with axes as if it was raining hand axes.
The enemy had no time to react when a second wave of hand axes was thrown.
Pat~ Pat~ Puff~
Many soldiers were hit by axes. Some of them raised their small shields to fight but the area protected by the small shield was small. Moreover, it was a light shield that could not stop the flying axe!
Only a few clever soldiers rushed in under the obstacle to protect their lives. Most of the soldiers were killed by the 5th wave of axes.
Nevertheless, the Orcs were firmly following Xiao Yu's orders. They threw all 10 hand axes.
The soldiers hiding under the rubble lost their spirits every time the axes would fly down and pierce the corpses of their comrades or the ground. They had never seen such a dense attack.
Rommel has said that the key to victory is strong firepower. Xiao Yu was applying those famous words right now.
Orcs stood motionless as they threw all ten axes.
However, there was joy in their eyes. Their blood is boiling. Xiao Yu's tactics had brought them victory! As a result, their confidence in Xiao Yu increased greatly. In the past they would be harmed when they faced humans. But now they believed that they would never face defeat if they followed Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was very satisfied with the result. He believed that the troops should have strict discipline. Otherwise, the Orcs would simply rush towards the battlefield and be killed by the human formation.
Both sides stood still for some time. Only the north wind whistled in their ears.
Xiao Yu did not order the orcs to attack. The cavalry stood on the other side like silly children. They don't know what to do.
“Take your ax! If you see an enemy attack then retreat instantly. You can't fight with them!” Xiao Yu ordered.
Orcs rushed down to pick up their hand axes. The soldiers hiding under the obstacle did not dare to come out. As a result, they were killed by Orcs who came to take their axes.
The battle has already started and the two sides have not contacted each other yet! But Xiao Yu was able to kill 500 enemy soldiers. This record was an extremely rare result that was nowhere to be seen!
