Chapter 507: Draining You

So, soon, a huge notice appeared on the tall wall of the Lion King City, which read, dear Prince Nicholas, I, Xiao Yu, will soon go to a ruins for an expedition, and there are countless treasures in it, so I dare not swallow it privately, and invite Your Excellency to go with you, if you are interested, please contact as soon as possible.

This notice made everyone in Lion King City scratch their heads one by one, and those adventurers who passed by Lion King City laughed one by one after seeing it.

However, some people who turned their minds faster immediately understood Xiao Yu's intention to do this, and couldn't help but admire Xiao Yu's wit.

Now, because of the opening of the Ankola Mountains, there are a lot of people who come here to explore, even if it is not for exploration, come to see the elves and orcs here in Xiao Yu, it can also be regarded as tourism.

Xiao Yu also specially hired a group of painters to come over, let some people paint with orc buddies, and then collect money. Many measures such as these make the Lion King Collar very popular now.

The reason why he did this was that Xiao Yu also wanted to make a name for himself as the lion king. After all, the lion king is too remote, and only by making a name for himself can it attract more talents.

Now the Lion King Territory is also the only way to Yunmeng, Xiao Yu also deliberately opened up a trade route, encouraging merchants to pass through here, and he collected taxes.

As a result, the former desolate Lion King Territory is now a very lively place. This is a hundredfold increase in foot traffic compared to the previous one.

Some of the people who were recruited by Xiao Yu's good policies have also taken root here, making this place already look like an independent kingdom.

Xiao Yu established some small cities for other people to live in, and did not garrison troops, and gradually became more and more presentable.

Seeing that Xiao Yu and they were going to start using troops recently, many adventurers came over and wanted to join as mercenaries to make some money, Xiao Yu also approved, and implemented a set of codes of conduct for mercenaries, and then handed over these people to Cassel to manage.

Cassel was originally a mercenary, and it was still very easy to manage them. In this, there is naturally no shortage of some secret agents and scouts of the other party, but Xiao Yu doesn't care anymore, and one or two scouts don't have much impact on Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu went to defend the principality this time, relying on hardware strength, and then there were Chimera's strange soldiers, even if his own action deployment was known by the other party, he was not afraid.

Mercenaries are also a very good force, and if they are used well, they can also play a big role. Back then, Hannibal relied on mercenaries to beat Rome to the ground.

If it weren't for the last Roman siege of Wei to rescue Zhao and attack Hannibal's hometown of Carthage, then Hannibal would probably have relied on those mercenaries to overthrow the entire Roman dynasty.

So, when all the preparations were almost done, Xiao Yu led the army, mighty and blatantly towards the Principality of Wei.

At this time, in the Principality of Wei, several people were discussing something.

"That Xiao Yu really doesn't know the height of the sky, do you think he can really defeat this Duchy of Wei? The Kennedys had already shown their refusal to give up the Duchy of Wei because it was a very important strategic location with access to Yunmeng. Now, we have enough power here, and if he comes, he will definitely let him die without even scum. On the main seat, a tall man with a full body of military uniform said coldly.

This person is none other than Zanetti, the general of the Kennedy family who commanded the army here before.

Zanetti is a general, and he is also very conceited, although the last attack on Lion King City failed, but he believes that it is mainly due to the lack of clarity about the other party's troops, and it was Robles who commanded at the time, and he had no real military power, so this led to this.

Now, Robles is not here, the command is all his, what else is he afraid of? With the elite soldiers here in the Principality of Wei, coupled with strong fortifications, and the various strategic resources of the Kennedy family, can't they really defeat that Xiao Yu?

"Yes, with Commander Zanetti here, you will definitely be able to beat that Xiao Yu in embarrassment." At this time, Jochi's father, Li He, looked flattering, and said with a smile.

Now, Li He has also become the main general of the Wei Principality, cooperating with Zanetti to protect the Wei Principality.

"What's more, there are also the men and horses of our church, when you fight fiercely, I will lead people to attack from the flank, and I will definitely be able to take it by surprise and completely defeat the army led by the lion king." At this time, a young man in red armor and some swagger stood up.

This person, as soon as he looks at his dress, knows that he must be from the church.

"Yes, with Lord Tello here, we will definitely be able to win this battle this time." Li He slapped his ass again.

"Well, the Scarlet Crusaders led by Lord Tello are an extremely powerful force, and they will definitely not think of it." Zanetti looked at Tello, a subtle glint flashed in his eyes, and he also said flatteringly.

Zanetti is a general, but he is very clear about the situation on this continent, and now the church is expanding its power everywhere, conquering cities, and disregarding people's lives, this kind of behavior, he is very disgusted.

In particular, the ideological control exercised by the Church, and the fact that anyone who did not believe in the Pope had to be killed, made him extremely disgusted, and he hated to lead people to destroy these Churchmen.

However, from the perspective of the overall strategic situation, now, he also has to cooperate with the people of the church, because in this way, it can help him to defend the principality.

There are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests, and now, the church has the same interests with them, and does not want Xiao Yu to develop them so that they can come together.

They may hate each other very much, and even want to be disgusted when they meet, but on the surface, they must smile and smile like brothers.

This is the benefit.

"Marshal Qiyu, the troops led by the Lion King have been drawn and are attacking our Duchy of Wei. Look at the number of people, at least 100,000. "The scouts below have come up to report.

"Well, how many ways are they divided?" Zanetti's face remained unchanged and asked lightly.

"All the way." The scout said.

"What? Way? Just sent all the way? Hearing this, Zanetti frowned suddenly, you know, the territory of the Duchy of Wei is very large, there are many places to defend, the general attack, if it is to attack such a large principality, it must be divided into several ways and pinch a few key points, but how can Xiao Yu go all the way with an army of 100,000.

"Yes, their 100,000 army has no intention of separating at all, and it should be the first to reach Cold City." The scout said again.

"This Xiao Yu doesn't understand the art of war at all, where can he fight like this? Isn't he afraid that we will cut off his back path from other directions? There is no strategy at all on the left and right, so it is easy to be attacked from the side. Zanetti frowned fiercely, frowning at Xiao Yu's strange play.

"This Xiao Yu wins with surprise weapons every time, maybe, what other tricks are there this time, we have to be careful." Tello heard this, but his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said.

Tello was young and handsome, talented, and very much appreciated by the Pope. Alonso's betrayal before, Mordridge was killed, and Kris Mo died, and those crusaders all betrayed, which made him hate Xiao Yu to the core.

He thought that Xiao Yu had completely insulted the glory of the Scarlet Crusaders, so he took the initiative to invite Ying over this time, just to give or catch Xiao Yu, and then personally send him to be burned at the stake.

Crismo is in a high position in the church, and of course the church will not say that Crismo has defected, but that he was killed by Xiao Yu by trickery, and Alonso rebelled and became an accomplice.

So now the whole church hates Alonso and Xiao Yu to the core.

"Hmph, I want to see what tricks he plays, tell the defenders of Hancheng to hold on with all their might, and I will send people to attack from the flank. As long as they can hold out for one day, then Xiao Yu will definitely be defeated. Zanetti coldly gave the order.

"Yes." So, the scout went down quickly.

At this time, Xiao Yu with a mighty army, is moving forward, while singing, Xiao Yu adapted the music of men as self-improvement, as a military song, let everyone sing loudly, boost morale.

The self-improvement of men was originally taken from the ancient song general order, which is a kind of song that is very suitable for fighting to improve morale, and was changed by Xiao Yu at this time, in the desolate wilderness, a long army, huge war drums beating, that kind of momentum, people are afraid to see.

Momentum is the most important thing in an army, Xiao Yu attaches great importance to this aspect, and tries every means to improve morale.

Singing is undoubtedly a very good way to boost morale. Xiao Yu remembered hearing a story about a general fighting a war, and every time he lost or won, he asked his subordinates to sing songs and return to the city.

In this way, the people thought that they had won the battle, and the soldiers gradually felt that they had won every battle, and their morale was high.

Such a good method, Xiao Yu can't do without it.

After marching for two days, he finally arrived at the bottom of the cold city, looking at the cold city that had been reinforced a lot by Zanetti, Xiao Yu did not order an immediate attack, but let the troops rest in place, eat and drink for a while.

As a result, the troops had a period of eating, drinking, and carnival, and they were having fun one by one.

By night, all the soldiers were ready for battle, one by one in good spirits, ready for battle. However, Xiao Yu still did not order to attack, but only warned everyone to set up camps, defend, and not attack.

Everyone was extremely surprised, why didn't they attack when they got here? However, everyone knows that Xiao Yu is a famous general, never defeated, and there must be some intention in doing this, so they waited with peace of mind.

At this time, the commander of Hancheng was already on full alert, waiting for him, seeing that Xiao Yu was not attacking, he couldn't help frowning, not knowing what Xiao Yu was thinking.

However, he didn't dare to ignore Xiao Yu at all, so he kept a high level of vigilance, and didn't dare to go back to his house to sleep at all, and just squinted at the city head for a while when he was sleepy.

In his judgment, Xiao Yu must be preparing to find a good time to carry out a sneak attack, so he must be extremely careful. Zanetti has already sent news, as long as he holds on and waits for Zanetti to send people to attack from the side, this battle will basically be won.

All he has to do is hold on at all costs.

By the next day, he thought that Xiao Yu might send someone to attack. But he was very surprised to find that Xiao Yu actually began to let people build fortifications in the same place, such as watchtowers, wooden fences, and trenches, and dug several ones.

So, for several days in a row, Xiao Yu had no intention of attacking, but kept digging trenches and building fortifications here, as if he was preparing to build a city here.

"What the hell is this Xiao Yu doing?" Zanetti had already sent people to prepare for a sneak attack from the side, as long as Xiao Yu began to attack Hancheng in a big way, then he could kill Xiao Yu in one fell swoop by sneaking up on the back and side.

However, Xiao Yu just didn't attack, and ordered the soldiers to eat, drink, play, and play games every day, just not attack. Recently, in Xiao Yu's barracks, games such as backgammon, sandbag throwing, rope skipping, and even football have been in full swing, forming several major leagues.

So, everyone was dumbfounded.

Not only were they dumbfounded, but even Mu Huali, Long Hui, Chagatai, Kaso and others were completely dumbfounded? What is this Xiao Yu trying to do?

Why don't you fight? Although it is said that a forcible attack may cause certain losses, but now the strength of the Lion King Leader is not weak, even if it is a hard fight, it can also defeat the cold city.

If you are afraid that the enemy will attack on the flank, some of the people can resist it. Cassel took the initiative to ask for help, otherwise the flanks were protected.

However, Xiao Yu's reply to him was that he would play backgammon tomorrow, and if you lost, you would have to dance a striptease in front of all the soldiers.

Cassel suddenly collapsed.

"What the hell is this Xiao Yu doing? Is it just trying to lure us out? "Zanetti is completely crazy, if the first few days are okay, it has been a month, Xiao Yu is still there to play chess, dance, carnival, and not attack the city at all, making him feel that his nerves are about to collapse.

To be honest, if he is allowed to take the initiative to attack Xiao Yu, he is still not absolutely sure, although Xiao Yu is not in the Lion King City now, but camped outside, but Xiao Yu's strength is now extremely strong, if he comes out to attack Xiao Yu and gives up the protection of the city wall, then he will definitely lose.

Originally, he was ready to fight a battle to defend the city, but now he was dragged like this by Xiao Yu.

He also tried to send people to attack Xiao Yu and them a few times, but Xiao Yu and their trenches were too much, making it too difficult for them to sneak attack the camp. Small-scale harassment is completely useless, and a large-scale offensive will certainly cost a lot.

Now, Zanetti has absolutely no idea what to do.

After another half a month, Zanetti really couldn't stand it, and the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops were guarding outside like this and not attacking, which was definitely a huge torment for the commander.

It's like the Battle of Kursk, the generals of the Soviet army have already decided to defend, but the Germans have not attacked, and they are so anxious that they almost collapse.

If the Germans didn't attack again, they would have attacked in three days, but fortunately, the Germans attacked first. This kind of large-scale battle is a huge test for the heart of the commander.

At this time, resourcefulness is no longer the most important thing, and whoever can withstand more pressure in his heart will be able to achieve the final victory.

"No, find a way to get them out." Zanetti's eyes flashed with a glint.

So, Zanetti wrote an extremely arrogant and insulting challenge letter and sent it to Xiao Yu. This letter has been polished by Zanetti's advisers, and ordinary people will definitely be furious when they read this letter, and they can't wait to peel Zanetti.

But after Xiao Yu read it, he just wrote a reply letter lightly, and this letter only had four words: fuck your mother.

Zanetti received the reply, and was immediately furious, although he had insulted Xiao Yu to the extreme, but he did not use such straightforward words, and his anger was like thunder, and once again people wrote a more vicious curse letter, provoking Xiao Yu to come out to fight.

However, Xiao Yu didn't read it this time, and replied to a letter again, still with four words: fuck your mother.

"This bastard." Zanetti was going crazy, so he hired soldiers to scold in front of Xiao Yu's camp, and all kinds of sharp words and insulting words were used, so that Xiao Yu's ancestors who had been scolded for several lifetimes almost jumped out of the grave.

Long Hui heard these words, and shouted angrily, Zanetti dared to insult the ancestor of the Xiao family, this is absolutely not allowed by him, he has been loyal to the Xiao family for so many years, someone dares to insult the ancestor of the Xiao family but does not fight, he absolutely can't stand it.

Therefore, Long Hui rushed out with people without authorization, but as soon as he was halfway through, he was caught by Xiao Yu and sent Mawei back.

"Uncle Long, you are so old, and you are so angry, the so-called gentleman doesn't do anything, he scolds us, we just scold them, if we do it, it will be too unrighteous, we are gentlemen, how can we do such a thing as fighting and killing, this is really too bad for our Xiao family's demeanor." Come on, Kael'thas, unleash a spell on me. Xiao Yu said, calling Kael'thas over and telling him to go out and put a spell outside.

So, not long after, I saw several huge fireworks above Xiao Yu's camp, facing the direction of those insulters, and then exploded in the sky, showing four big words: Fuck your mother.

Zanetti read these four words, spit out a mouthful of blood in anger, and fainted.

So, no matter how Zanetti sends someone to scold him in the future, Xiao Yu will return the tribute with four words, fuck your mother.

Moreover, Xiao Yu also asked his 100,000 soldiers to shout together, fuck your mother, it's really a heart-wrenching, shocking and crying ghosts and gods, which makes people change their color when they hear it and see it cold.

So, since then, Zanetti has stopped scolding, and he finally recognized the fact that he is not Xiao Yu's opponent in the matter of scolding the street.

However, Zanetti did not dare to relax his guard at all, he believed that Xiao Yu must have some kind of plan and was ready to attack suddenly, so he kept the soldiers high in morale and could not slack off in the slightest.

If this continues, all the soldiers of the Principality of Wei are worried every day, and the rumors are loud, for fear that Xiao Yu will send troops when he will send troops.

After another half a month, the commander of the church this time, Tello, couldn't sit still, and said coldly: "I really don't know what you're afraid of?" Are we really afraid of them? I'll take someone to attack myself, and I'm sure I'll be able to deal him a fatal blow. He is a turtle with a shrunken head, so he knows what kind of benefit can he have? ”

"Lord Tello, I can understand your feelings, but I have to remind you that before we joined forces with Lord Alonso, Lord Mordridge and others to attack Xiao Yu, and at that time the forces were even stronger than now, but we still lost. Do you think that with your current centaurs, you can kill Xiao Yu? Zanetti has also been angry lately, and he can't help but ridicule unceremoniously.

"What then? Are we just waiting? Tello snorted, in fact, he also knew that this was the truth, if Xiao Yu was so easy to fight, he would not be there now.

"What if we don't wait? And they did not come out. I'd like to see how long he can hide. "Zanetti hasn't been in a very good mood lately, and he has fought a lot of battles, but this is the first time he has seen a commander like Xiao Yu.

So, time passed little by little again, and Xiao Yu and they played more and more, even changing tricks, and many times they ran out of the camp to play, because the space in the camp was not large enough.

Those soldiers of the Principality of Wei often watched Xiao Yu's soldiers play various games here, and after a long time, they also understood some rules and cheered for Xiao Yu and them in the city.

"Come on, RED come on, look at your stinky feet, can you kick in? Why not me? If only I could have kicked in. It seems that today is going to be lost again. "At the head of the city, several soldiers of the Duchy of Wei are lamenting that gambling through Xiao Yu's football on their side has become the main way for them to pass the time.

Otherwise, who can stand it for months on end? Mentally and physically, it's overwhelming.

It's not that you can do it when you get down the military order, but people's spirits are limited, and after a long period of consumption, they will naturally decline, which is a physiological law.

"Hehe, I'm betting on the Blues this time, and I'll have the money ready for a while." The soldiers of the Principality of Wei who won the game were smiling.

"Match-fixing, this is definitely match-fixing, otherwise, how could the red team play like this?" The soldiers of the Duchy of Wei who had lost immediately became dissatisfied.

"What match-fixing? The strength of the blue team is strong, and you are not convinced. ”

"What do you mean to be unconvinced? What happened to the BLU team the last few times when we were abused by the RED team? What is it to win NB once this time? ”

"We're NB, what's wrong? You dog on the RED team. ”

"Dare you say I'm a RED dog, so what are you? You're a pig on the BLU team. ”

"Hey, who are you talking about?"

"I said it's all dogs who like the red team."

"Rub, owe flat, isn't it? Lao Tzu supported the red team. ”

As a result, chaos soon engulfed in the city, and a fight broke out.

On this day, Xiao Yu was watching singing and dancing in the camp tent while playing chess with Cassel, when suddenly a soldier quickly came in and reported, "Lord Qiqi, there is a man named Nikolai outside who asks to see you." ”

"Damn, why did this kid come so late?" Xiao Yu looked extremely dissatisfied, waved his hand, and said, "Call him in." ”
