Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 18 The Gnoll Plays Tactics
Failed to find good things from the market.

Tang Jing simply drew a lottery for all the five first-level crystal nuclei seized today, in exchange for fifty refugees.

The territory is now neither short of residential buildings nor food, and buildings such as granaries and mills have also been completed. Tang Jing is naturally happy to continue to increase the population of the territory.

.........

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Tu Qiang, who went out to raid, led his troops back, and successfully wiped out six enemy territories.

[Territory Stele: Bronze Level (1.4/10)]

[Collect all ten bronze tokens to upgrade to silver level]

"The territory stele is promoted to the bronze level, and a territory characteristic can be obtained. Please choose."

[Successful weather LV1: Chance of agricultural disaster -10%]

[Wu De Plenty LV1: Army Combat Power +5%]

[Government and people and LV1: Internal affairs efficiency +10%]

"It's all good stuff!"

Tang Jing was drooling, without any hesitation, he immediately chose Wu Dequan.

Again.

All things in the territory in the early stage must revolve around the core of military struggle.

After the second sweep, a vacuum zone had formed within six square kilometers around the territory. Tang Jing immediately ordered that the sweep operation come to an end.

It's not that I don't want to, but that the wolf man crisis must be resolved first.

If the city defense battalion's scope of activities is further expanded, it is very likely that it will be attacked by jackals in the wild.

Not worth the candle.

"My lord, today we have caught traces of the wolf man several times. In the next day or two, the wolf man may attack the territory at any time." Tu Qiang reminded.

"I already smell the gnoll."

Tu Hong looked sharply into the distance. In order to guard against the jackals, he had ordered torches be planted on the "stone city wall", and the entrances and exits of the city gates were also blocked with stones again.

The whole battalion has entered the first level of combat readiness, ready to deal with a fierce battle at any time.

"How is the crossbow team training?" Tang Jing asked.

"After a day of training, the crossbowmen have basically mastered the operation skills of the god arm crossbow, but they have only mastered it, and they are not yet proficient. Fortunately, they don't need to fight in the wild this time."

If the jackals were really going to attack the territory, the crossbowman could lie on the stone pile and shoot.

"It's good if it comes in handy."

Tang Jing was very fortunate to act decisively. If it was another day at night, the consequences would be disastrous.

"In this way, while there is still a little time, let's touch each other again, deduce the possible attack methods of the jackals, and prepare a response plan as much as possible." Tang Jing was lenient in anticipating the enemy.

"can."

Tu Hong also thought it was a good idea, so he invited Mr. Wu, a think tank, to discuss it for over an hour.

After finalizing the plan, Tang Jing participated in the entire offensive and defensive drill of the city defense battalion. In the evening, he was accompanied by his own soldiers to inspect the stone city wall.

Before they got close, they could already hear wolves howling.

Standing on the "city wall" and looking into the distance, under the hazy moonlight, the wolf man is looming.

They have come!

"The jackals are planning to attack at night?" Tang Jing frowned.

"uncertain."

Tu Hong, who accompanied the inspection, replied: "It may also be a strategy of exhaustion, deliberately exposing, so that we can be on guard all night and consume the physical strength and energy of our soldiers. Once we slack off, we will launch an attack immediately."

The gnolls are all playing tactics.

Faced with such rogue tactics, the city defense battalion could only respond passively, not daring to relax for a moment.

this night.

The wolves howled one after another, not only making the soldiers of the city defense battalion fearful, but also the whole territory.

.........

Five in the morning.

Tang Jing finally fell asleep when he was woken up again by his own soldiers.

"My lord, the jackals are ready to attack!"

"Good come!"

Tang Jing's first reaction was to be happy, not afraid that the wolf man would not come, but afraid that he would be so exhausted all the time.

Quickly came to the city wall.

In the morning of early spring, there was a layer of mist in the wilderness, and there was still a trace of cold in the air.

Even more frightening is the army of wolf men.

Wow, what a huge piece.

The pack of wolves was still at the front. There were more than two hundred of them. I'm afraid they gathered all the wild wolves in a radius of tens of miles, which showed the determination of the wolf man this time.

Not just wolves.

In order to take revenge and wipe out this suddenly rising territory in one fell swoop, and maintain the rule of the wolf man in this area, under the organization of Hogg, the leader of the Black Claw tribe, all the wolf man in a radius of a hundred miles were gathered.

There are more than five hundred heads.

Regardless of size or strength, the Jackals had the upper hand this time, but they were still playing tactics.

Truth is cunning!
"My lord, the scattered formation of the jackals is not good for our defense." Seeing that the enemy finally showed his true face, Tu Hong was not moved by it.

The scattered lines of Gnolls are definitely a disaster for the newly formed ballista team.

It is difficult to form an effective kill.

In particular, there were swift-moving wild wolves in the enemy's formation. The "Stone City Wall" of the territory might be able to stop the jackals a little, but they definitely couldn't stop the wild wolves, and they jumped up in two or three hits.

Chiyou warriors and sword and shield soldiers are not afraid of wild wolves, but crossbowmen who have only trained for one day are afraid.

They're not even recruits.

Once the wolves get close, it will definitely be a disaster for the ballista team.

"Execute the plan and actively attract the jackals to the city gate." Tang Jing came to the city gate decisively, took out the resource bag, and took away all the stones blocking the city gate.

A passage more than eight meters wide was left empty.

"Hmph, looking for a dead end!"

Seeing this, Hogg, the leader of the wolf man in the distance, had no doubts about it. He immediately commanded the army and rushed towards the city gate. He was already imagining the wonderful scene of tearing the enemy apart.

"Ready to fight!"

After the passage was opened, the blade team led by Tu Qiang was at the forefront.

There are rows of sword and shield soldiers in the back, but they only account for half of the sword and shield soldiers. The remaining half climbed up the "city wall" and stood side by side with the crossbowmen, responsible for protecting the safety of the crossbowmen.

"Ouch!!!"

Leaning slightly, the strongest wild wolf has rushed to the gate of the city, fighting with the blade team.

To be precise, they were massacred by the Blades one-sidedly.

Wearing a full set of infantry armor, the Chiyou warriors looked at the entrance of the passage, and they had the posture of "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it", and they were simply invincible.

With the blessing of Tang Jing, it is like a tireless killing machine.

The wolves could barely hurt them!
"A bunch of trash!"

Seeing the wolves being slaughtered ruthlessly, Hogg's brows twitched unconsciously, and he immediately ordered the wolves to get out of the attack position, and instead attacked the enemy at the top of the city.

As for the fierce battle at the city gate, it will be handed over to the bravest Jackal warriors.

Hogg couldn't believe it.

How long can the heavy infantry of just a dozen people last?It will be torn after all.

"Ouch!!!"

The wolf king, who was already distressed, immediately commanded the wolves to kill at the top of the city gate on both sides.

"Ready to fight!"

The sword and shield soldiers commanded at the head of the city are facing Olin, holding the war hammer tightly in his hand, and the blood in his body is boiling.

It was extraordinarily excited!
Finally a chance to avenge the humiliation of the Wolf man!

The sword and shield soldiers, who had already had several combat experiences, were not afraid at all of the wolves rushing up, and easily chopped off the wolves under the sword.

After all, they are old opponents.

As for the crossbow machine team, up to this moment, they have not fired a single crossbow bolt. They all squatted on the ground, quietly hiding behind the sword and shield soldiers, waiting for the order to attack.

Until the main force of the wolf man army rushed to the gate of the city and entered the shooting range of the god arm crossbow.

"preparation!"

"shooting!"

In order to let the ballista team play its value and not be timid, Tu Hong chose to command the ballista team himself.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

After receiving the order, the crossbowmen who had been ready for a long time rushed out from behind the sword and shield soldiers, aimed at the densest part of the wolf man team, pulled the trigger, and shot out the crossbow arrows.

More than thirty sharp arrows pierced through the air in an instant.

Followed by the second round, the third round...

In order to create a continuous killing effect, a hundred crossbowmen were divided into three teams, adopting the classic three-stage strike tactic, one team aimed and fired, the second team was in a state of waiting, and the third team stretched their strings.

It caught the jackal man by surprise.

Although many jackals were wearing iron armor, it was dilapidated and could neither protect the whole body nor the head. Facing the crossbow, they would suffer heavy losses immediately.

"Damn!"

Hogg, who was commanding from the rear, saw that the opponent actually had a crossbowman, and his expression was gloomy.

It is not in the information
"However, do you think you can win this way?"

With a ferocious expression on his face, Hogg ordered the pack of wolves to press on, and at the same time personally commanded the reserve team formed by more than two hundred of the strongest gnolls to come towards the top of the city.

"Ouch!!!"

Halfway through the journey, all the gnolls were also possessed and landed on all fours, no different from a pack of wolves.
