Chapter Fifty-Three: A Mere Steel Capital Kingdom Can't Hold Me
After loudly declaring war, Xiao Yu focused on his first weapon that he really took advantage of.
This is a long-handled weapon that refers to the weapon of the god of war Lu Bu in the game of Warriors of the Three Kingdoms.
Xiao Yu originally wanted to refer to Changshan Zhao Zilong's gentian gun, but later thought about the legend of the ancient spearman Lucky E, but gave up this immature idea.
The shaped weapon is 215 centimeters long, with a moon blade of about 28 centimeters at its widest point, and the head is made of steel alloy and a secret method forged by craftsmen, and the handle is made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight.
As far as the full-painted halberd is concerned, both in size and weight, it is much lighter than the Fang Tian halberd that the party believes, and it is also much smaller.
But Xiao Yu was already quite satisfied, he was not the god of war of the red rabbit in Lu Bu's horse among the people, and it was better to put the weapons together.
Xiao Yu named this pseudo ~ Fang Tian painting halberd for the thunder painting halberd!
It means that this halberd has the power of thunder!
Relying on the excellent electric shocker parts and three small batteries provided by the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens God, and by having the craftsman lay wires and other mechanisms in the inner tube, once Xiao Yu pressed the mechanism when he wielded the Thunder Halberd, he could generate a strong current at the blade of the Halberd Moon and the head of the spear.
According to the electric shock data provided by the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavenly Gods, the strength of such an electric current exceeded that of many self-defense devices, enough to knock down an adult man with a single blow.
Dealing with the creatures of Lilliputia, Xiao Yu believed that this kind of electricity would not be inferior to those wizards who specialized in thunder and lightning.
Through previous combat experience, it can be found that there are few more effective ways to deal with those dark sorcery than this kind of thunder and lightning power.
After Xiao Yu got the Thunder Halberd, he immediately ran to the depths of the uninhabited mine to learn combat skills with the help of several weapon masters invited by the apprentice wizard of Ainodia.
Most of these weapon masters are gifted, but they are warriors of civilian origin, and after growing up through battle formations, they cannot be promoted to knights due to various physical sequelae.
The bottleneck of strength made them have to focus on the grinding of skills, so that they have become recognized weapons masters by the fighters, and have the qualifications to open a training ground to train the warriors' combat skills.
The army led by Xiao Yu occupied the Molten Iron Castle, and I don't know anything else, at least the weapon masters in the castle were used by Xiao Yu.
Under the guidance of these weapon masters, Xiao Yu gradually knew how to exert his body strength in the case of using the Thunder Halberd, and how to make moves, so as not to get himself injured.
This practice lasted until the day the army was opened, perhaps because the Spiritual Elixir had improved Xiao Yu's learning ability? Xiao Yu's training was very smooth, although he couldn't master any advanced power skills.
However, the basic usage of the Thunder Halberd is already clear in mind, and it can be issued naturally and smoothly at any time.
"The army is out!"
At the main gate of the camp, Anrique, the king of the steel capital, rode a horse and personally sat at the gate, drew his sword, and ordered the whole army.
After a response, the legionnaires who had already lined up in the phalanx held their flags, clenched their weapons, and marched in unison, pulling out of the camp in a long snake formation.
The sound of 10,000 people stepping neatly resounded in the sky, and thousands of spears marched forward and held high, like a forest of moving spears.
The cavalry under the command of General Babu was also transformed into real iron cavalry, and with sufficient financial support, the horses were replaced by stronger and heavier war horses, and they were all dressed in iron armor.
As soon as they moved, they immediately overpowered the momentum of the other troops.
Sitting on the electric tricycle, Xiao Yu tied the Thunder Halberd to the side of the car, looked at the mighty army following closely behind him, and there was a heroic atmosphere brewing in his heart.
"The army that opened this time has 8,000 pikemen, 2,000 crossbowmen, 3,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 1,000 iron cavalry."
At this time, the Wizard Apprentice of Ainodia, together with several transcendent barbarians, was docked on Xiao Yu's shoulder, and he took the list provided by General Babu and read it to Xiao Yu:
"There are also 5,500 newly recruited mercenaries and rebels from all walks of life, plus 30,000 barbarian warriors."
"The total number of the army is forty-nine thousand five hundred!"
After speaking, Ainodia looked at Xiao Yu.
"Is that almost fifty thousand?" Xiao Yu said softly: "What about Grand Duke Yanan, is it still a hundred thousand troops?" ”
"Yesterday, there was a report from a secret agent that Grand Duke Yanan suddenly imposed martial law on the entire royal capital, and everywhere he killed suspicious elements who were suspected of being informed."
Ainodia replied: "Therefore, we have not received the latest information, only that as of the day before yesterday, no less than 150,000 troops have been gathered under the command of Grand Duke Nayanan!" ”
"According to the information, there are only 300,000 people living in the urban area of the Iron Furnace Castle in the royal capital." Xiao Yu was slightly stunned and said, "Where did so many soldiers come from?" ”
"As long as there is money, there are a lot of poor mercenaries in our area who are willing to work for their lives." The Wizard Apprentice of Ainodia smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Highness, don't you know that there are many villages and cottages in the mountains around the kingdom."
"These places are poor and bad, and since ancient times, mercenaries have been used as a way out, often a village is a mercenary group, and all adult males are members of the group."
"With Grand Duke Yanan's financial resources and connections, if there is enough time, it will not be difficult to bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses over."
Speaking of this, Enodia also secretly sighed that the failure of Anrique, the king of the steel capital, was really excusable, their royal family had long been far behind the family of the Grand Duke of Yanan, no wonder they could not get the sympathy and support of the great nobles.
If this life is not overthrown, the last bit of royal power will be set aside in the next life.
The only thing that people didn't expect was the variables brought about by the intervention of giants.
Thinking of this, the Wizard Apprentice of Ainodia continued: "It is worth noting that the intelligence has mentioned that traces of the dark elves of the underground race have appeared on the streets of the royal capital, and the rumors have obviously been confirmed to be true. ”
"We must beware of the special reinforcements of Grand Duke Yanan, and in addition, a certain noble family deliberately released news to us."
"Deliberately released? Hmph, these families! When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.
"What's the news?"
"Grand Duke Yanan has contacts with neighboring countries, and it is likely that some kind of agreement will be reached."
"In other words, in this war, there are officials from other countries who will intervene?"
Xiao Yu rode the electric car proudly and said, "What are you afraid of? If they dare to intervene, won't they give us an excuse to invade them? ”
"Invasion...... Other? Although the Wizard Apprentice of Ainodia had already felt it, he still felt very shocked when he heard Xiao Yu's undisguised words.
Since the establishment of the Gangdu Kingdom, it has been on the defensive for hundreds of years, fighting out...... It has never only existed in the dreams of every hot-blooded man.
But I don't want to, the protector of this kingdom has already wanted to fight out and invade other countries early in the morning!
"You're surprised?" Xiao Yu patted his thunder halberd.
"Didn't I say that a long time ago?"
Xiao Yu looked into the distance and said with a faint smile: "When I met your king, I said ......"
"A steel capital kingdom can't accommodate me!"
"It's not in my eyes!"
