Chapter 119: Excuses
So, in the past few days, the Flying Eagle Village began to prepare for a large-scale battle against the Lion King Territory, and all kinds of materials began to be prepared. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and in such a large-scale operation, logistics supply is a very important piece.
The reason why the United States was able to have a strong attack force during World War II was that in addition to the excellent training and equipment of soldiers, successful management ideas also played a vital role.
It was precisely because of Eisenhower's excellent management and coordination skills that he was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces and plan a large-scale battle such as the Normandy landings.
And the information of these materials was sent out by Xiao Yu a long time ago, and they went to the Lion King Territory to prepare before the war.
When Xiao Yu came, it was naturally impossible not to leave a channel for information transmission, otherwise, what if something happened to the Lion King City?
He had Tyrande lurk in a nearby place, waiting for Xiao Yu to deliver the news every night. Tyrande has a leopard, is extremely mobile, and ordinary people can't catch up with her, and can be invisible in shadowy places like the woods, so it's the perfect place to deliver messages.
Xiao Yu has powerful skills such as wind walking, teleportation, and heroic leaping, and at night the Flying Eagle Village is absolutely free to come and go, and no one can stop him from coming and going, so it is very easy to pass on the news.
Through the transmission of these news, Lion King City already knew the specific situation of the Flying Eagle Village's attack, and knew all about the troops, materials, and heavy weapons, and made preparations for the battle according to Xiao Yu's instructions in advance.
Although the number of bandits combined this time is very large, reaching a huge force of more than 100,000 people, but now the lion king is no longer what it used to be, all arms are more and more complete, and there are two more heroes than before, and they are still auxiliary heroes. The level of each class has also been greatly improved, some orc infantry have even reached level 8, and most of the troops are already above level 3 and have one or two of their own skills. With the money, Xiao Yu replaced all the soldiers with second-level equipment, and the combat effectiveness was not improved a little. Xiao Yu also collected five hundred orcs from outside, and added another amount of troops.
Moreover, in addition to the troops in the base, the regular army of the Lion King has now reached the establishment of 10,000 people, although because the time is still short, it is not an elite soldier, but under Xiao Yu's strong reward policy, these soldiers have high morale, like wolves and tigers, and they can't wait to go where to cut off a few heads and turn them in immediately, so that they can be rewarded.
Even if they die, their families can be treated with absolute kindness without any worries. In this case, the combat effectiveness of the soldier is greatly improved in the subjective aspect.
With these armies, and with the right command, by defending the city against 100,000 bandits who are not regular troops, there is at least a seventy percent chance of victory.
Of course, this is what Long Hui and Mu Huali think, and Xiao Yu's idea is that these 100,000 people must be killed this time. After he kills him, his merit value is estimated to reach a higher rank, and he can upgrade a main base to level 2, a class of the level 2 main base, but he is very much looking forward to it.
In fact, the gap between him and the next level of military rank is not very much, as long as he annihilates a few more people, he should be able to improve.
So, after a month of preparation, the bandits' army of more than 100,000 set off in a big way, ready to set foot on the lion king's territory.
Encouraged by Xie Sanlang's policy, the owners of the village are all in high spirits, gearing up, and they all want to take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
Xie Saburo recently clarified the specific number of rewards, such as how many heads were cut off in a battle, how many people were lost, reported back, and then distributed according to the proportion.
The clarity of the numbers made these robbers more aware of how many people they could get for killing them, so they did not hesitate to spare their brothers, because the compensation for the death of a person was definitely far more than the death of a robber soldier.
Only those who explained Xie Saburo's conspiracy through Lei Leopard understood that these compensation seemed to be very generous and an opportunity to make a fortune, but on the whole, it was Xie Saburo who made the final profit.
If they all fight out, all this money will be taken back by Xie Saburo in the end.
There is a pile of gold in front of you, and you can reach out and get it, but you also know that this gold is poisonous, and if you take it, you may die, and at this time, you will think about it.
However, greed is human nature, and some of the village owners who have been analyzed by Lei Leopard, although they know about Xie Sanlang's conspiracy, they still think that if they have the opportunity, they can also kill some people from the lion king without losing too many people, so as to get some rewards, as long as they are careful, don't lose too much.
This is the so-called death of people for money, and birds for food.
Knowing that gold is poisonous, I still have to find a way to pick it up.
Therefore, Xie Sanlang's schemes are not clever, so that you will be fooled even if you know that it is a conspiracy.
This also proves that these village owners are short-sighted, have low vision, and are not at the same level as Xie Saburo.
The army set off towards the lion king, and Xiao Yu also set off with a thousand heavy cavalry shortly after they left. Of these heavy cavalry, four hundred and fifty were his own knights, and the other five hundred and fifty were transferred to Xiao Yu by Xie Sanlang.
At the beginning, Xie Sanlang also wanted to divide Xiao Yu's four hundred and fifty knights into three heavy cavalry teams, so as to disperse the original loyalty of Xiao Yu of these cavalry teams.
But Xiao Yu brought these knights back through the fight with Lei Leopard, Xie Sanlang mediated several times, and Xiao Yu never compromised.
Xie Sanlang later felt that Xiao Yu's four hundred and fifty people couldn't make any waves, and anyone who brought his own people to the cottage and was divided would be suspicious.
Therefore, Xie Sanlang also acquiesced to Xiao Yu's command of the original four hundred and fifty knights.
Xie Sanlang looked far away, so he wouldn't argue with Xiao Yu about whether the four hundred and fifty people were completely dispersed. Because after all, this is not a force that can pose a threat to him, if there are thousands of people, Xie Saburo will definitely not allow it.
Although Xiao Yu walked backwards, but because the cavalry must be much faster than the infantry, he quickly overtook them, and went in the direction of the lion king first, these robbers this time because it was a siege battle, and they also carried large siege equipment, so most of them were infantry, and they naturally walked slowly.
Xiao Yu's action was also approved by Xie Sanlang, so even if someone saw it, they would not have any suspicions.
Within a few days, Xiao Yu had already reached a range of thirty miles near the Lion King Territory.
Xiao Yu looked at the terrain around here, and said to the heavy cavalry under his command: "There is a hillside over there, less than ten miles away from the Lion King City, there is a dense forest on it, which is the most suitable for hiding, and observe the battle below, we will go there." ”
Xiao Yu's words, in fact, are mainly for the five hundred and fifty other heavy cavalry, the purpose of coming here this time, Xiao Yu also told them, is to watch the battle, to experience the atmosphere of a large-scale battle, not to participate in the battle, just find a place to stay and watch.
The reason why Xie Sanlang was relieved that Xiao Yu came out was also because there were five hundred and fifty people following Xiao Yu, and he was not afraid of what tricks Xiao Yu would play.
At that moment, Xiao Yu was leading these people to run towards the high slope. Near the Lion King Territory, there are originally undulating hills and complex terrain, only a large area in front of the Lion King Territory is a completely empty field, and you can watch at a glance whether there are other people's activities in front of you.
This was also a strategic consideration when the city was first built.
After Xiao Yu took the knights to the dense forest, he let the cavalry rest here, and he himself went out to investigate the situation.
The heavy cavalry is wearing heavy armor, and it is definitely inappropriate to be a scout, Xiao Yu is not here to fight this time, so he is only wearing leather armor, and he is riding fast, which is suitable to act as a scout and investigate the situation.
Originally, if he was with a large army, there would definitely be light cavalry scouts, but now he is taking these people to watch the battle, which is far away from the lion king's territory, and there is no need for scouts or scouts, he just goes out to scout by himself.
When Xiao Yu taught these heavy cavalry, one of the contents of the lesson was that as the commander of the battlefield, he must personally reconnoiter the terrain in advance and know the situation in the combat area well, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to command the operation perfectly.
Xiao Yu's theory was also recognized by Xie Sanlang.
In fact, this is also one of Rommel's military theories, and before Rommel fights a war, he must personally take a helicopter to observe the terrain in the combat area before launching an attack.
For this reason, he was almost defeated by the British army and his own people several times.
Now, this theory has become an excuse for Xiao Yu to leave.
These knights, Xiao Yu is not going to use it in this battle, and he can't use it, because if he uses it, he will definitely be discovered, as long as he can return to the Lion King Territory and defend the city through the soldiers in the city, it will definitely be no problem.
All he needed was an excuse to not be with these knights while the battle was going on.
And these excuses, he must have thought of a long time ago.
A big war is about to begin.
