Chapter 39
Carrie wasn’t planning to speak nonsense with Xiao Yu like the last tiesture the co to the drills down back at home
Last tier which destabilized Carrie’s mood He didn’t want to waste any time now and capture the town as soon as possible He couldn’t wait to step on Xiao Yu and vent his anger
20,000 soldiers divided into ten phalanxes Carrie had learned his lesson froone to war for long time so the combat effectiveness of his troops was loever, this time he had trained them for a ies before co to the Lion town
Boom~
The infantry began toafter their footsteps was like a music that pressured the hearts of their enemy and increased their own morale
Captain Hui’s soldiers would have wet their underwear by now if it wasn’t for the Xiao Yu who had eased the mood before Carrie’s army came Xiao Yu showed disdain towards the enemy which made the normal soldiers believe in victory
The enemy troops were about 400 meters away froan to accelerate their speed and run towards the walls Carrie had chosen a simple and practical formation
The gates of the toould be attacked by heavy infantry ere using a battering ra them up would enter the town to strike There was another battering ram that was pushed by the troops behind the rae was hidden inside infrantry and would give theates
Light infantry was covering heavy infantry from both sides They were armed with shi+elds to protect the troops from arrows In addition, the shi+eld would be used to climb the ladder
About ten ladders were carried by light infantry froh many drills to make sure that the ladders wouldn’t fall off when they acted in real battle
In addition, there were about 20 catapults pushed by the soldiers behind the first phalanx Each catapult was able to launch a heavy stone up to 400 meters It would be used to suppress the archers of the town
Carrie had spared no effort for this battle They had only 10 catapults in their territory so he had borrowed another 10 from other territories
Ordinary soldiers wouldn’t be able to shoot arrows to the top of the toalls that were high But the catapults would be easy to accomplish this feat In addition, last time the enemy archer had wounded and disabled Carrie’s archer so he was deliberately using catapults to suppress all the archers
In the second phalanx both sides were covered with light infantrymen But in the middle there were heavy infantrymen ere equipped with military crossbows They would be able to suppress the archers on top when the normal soldiers tried to climb the ladder
Xiao Yu praised the luxury lineup Let alone Lion town, Xiao Yu thought that Carrie could capture the capital of Wei principality with such troops
Unfortunately, Carrie had met Xiao Yu
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he sipped from a red wine
“Open the gates” Xiao Yu ordered
The grunts began to iates Captain Hui was surprised: ”Master, what are you doing? Do you want to surrender? Why would you open the town gates now?”
Xiao Yu replied: “It’s a good day Why would I surrender? Uncle Hui just wait and see…you will know”
Grunts directly opened the gates according to Xiao Yu’s orders The gates rumbled to the sides and Lion town looked like an undefended town Carrie’s arates opened Both commanders and soldiers were due scene What is happened? Does the enemy wants to surrender?
The speed of the soldiers slowed down and slowly came to stop The commanders didn’t knohat to do so they ordered the soldiers to stand in for for Carrie’s commands
