Chapter 18 Jackals play tactics
I couldn't find anything good in the market.
Tang Jing simply raffled off all the five level 1 crystal cores seized today and exchanged them for fifty refugees.
The territory now lacks neither residential buildings nor food. Granaries, mills and other buildings have also been completed. Tang Jing is naturally happy to continue to increase the territory's population.
………
4 p.m.
Tu Qiang, who went out for a raid, returned with his troops and successfully wiped out six enemy territories.
[Territorial Stone Tablet: Bronze Level (1.4/10)]
[Collect ten bronze tokens to upgrade to silver level]
"The territory stone tablet is promoted to Bronze level and you can obtain a territory characteristic. Please choose."
[Good weather LV1: Agricultural disaster probability -10%]
[Strong Martial Arts LV1: Army Combat Power +5%]
[Zhengtong Renhe LV1: Internal Affairs Efficiency +10%]
“They are all good things!”
Tang Jing was drooling after seeing this, and without hesitation, he immediately chose Wu De Peng.
Still the same sentence.
All affairs in the early territory must be centered around the core of military struggle.
After the second sweep, a vacuum zone had been formed within six square kilometers of the territory. Tang Jing immediately ordered the sweep operation to come to an end for the time being.
It's not that I don't want to, but I need to solve the jackal crisis first.
If the city defense camp expands its activity range, it is likely that it will be attacked by jackals in the wild.
The gain outweighs the loss.
"Sir, we have captured traces of jackals several times today. In the next day or two, jackals may attack the territory at any time." Tu Qiang reminded.
"I can smell the gnoll scent already."
Tu Hong looked sharply into the distance. In order to guard against the jackals, he had ordered that the "stone city wall" be filled with torches, and the entrances and exits of the city gates were re-blocked with stones.
The whole battalion has entered the first level of combat readiness, ready to face a fierce battle at any time.
"How is the training of the crossbow unit going?" Tang Jing asked.
"After a day of training, the crossbowmen have basically mastered the operating skills of the divine arm crossbow, but they have only mastered it and are not yet proficient. Fortunately, this time they don't have to fight in the wild."
If the jackals really want to attack the territory, the crossbowmen can lie on the rocks and shoot.
"It'll be nice if it comes in handy."
Tang Jing was very fortunate to have acted decisively. If it had been another day late, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"In this way, while there is still a little time, we will meet again, deduce the attack methods that the jackals may launch, and prepare a response plan as much as possible." Tang Jing always expected the enemy to be lenient.
"Can."
Tu Hong also thought it was a good idea, so he invited Mr. Wu, the think tank, to discuss it for more than an hour.
After finalizing the plan, Tang Jing participated in the entire offensive and defensive drill of the city defense camp, and even went to inspect the stone city wall in the evening accompanied by his own soldiers.
Before I even got close, I could already hear the howling of wolves.
Standing on the "city wall" and looking into the distance, under the hazy moonlight, the jackals are looming.
They are already here!
"Are the jackals planning to attack at night?" Tang Jing frowned.
"uncertain."
Tu Hong, who accompanied the inspection, replied: "It may also be a tactic to weaken the troops and expose them deliberately 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 immediately launch an attack."
The gnolls are getting into tactics.
Faced with such rogue tactics, the city defense battalion could only respond passively and did not dare to relax for a moment.
This night.
The howls of wolves kept coming and going, not only making the soldiers in the city defense camp fearful, but also the entire territory.
………
Five o'clock in the morning.
Tang Jing finally fell asleep and was woken up by the soldiers again.
"Sir, the jackals are ready to attack!"
"Well done!"
Tang Jing's first reaction was that he was happy. He was not afraid that the jackals would not come, but he was afraid that it would be a waste of time.
Quickly come to the city wall.
On an early spring morning, a layer of mist appeared in the wilderness, and there was still a hint of coldness in the air.
Even more frightening is the army of jackals.
Wuyangyang is so big.
At the front of the queue was the same pack of wolves, with around two hundred of them. It might not be possible to gather all the wild wolves within a radius of dozens of miles, which shows the determination of the jackals this time.
Not just wild wolves.
In order to take revenge and eliminate the suddenly rising territory in front of them in one fell swoop and maintain the Gnolls' rule in the area, under the organization of Hogg, the leader of the Black Claw tribe, Gnolls within a hundred miles radius were gathered.
There are more than five hundred heads.
Regardless of scale or strength, the Jackals have the upper hand this time, but they are still playing with tactics.
The truth is cunning!
"Sir, the jackal formations are scattered, which is not good for our defense." Seeing that the enemy army finally showed its true appearance, Tu Hong was not moved by it.
The Wolfmen's too scattered military lines would be an absolute disaster for the newly formed crossbow fleet.
It is difficult to cause effective damage.
In particular, there are fast-moving wild wolves in the enemy formation. The "stone wall" of the territory may be able to stop the jackals for a while, but it will definitely not stop the wild wolves. They will jump up in a few seconds.
Chiyou warriors and sword and shield soldiers are not afraid of wild wolves, but they are afraid of crossbowmen who have only been trained for one day.
They're not even new recruits.
Once the wolves get close, it will definitely be a disaster for the crossbow fleet.
"Execute the plan and actively attract the jackals to the city gate." Tang Jing decisively came to the city gate, took out the resource bag, and collected all the stones blocking the city gate.
Clear a passage more than eight meters wide.
"Humph, you're looking for death!"
Hogg, the leader of the jackals in the distance, saw this and had no doubt that it was there. He immediately commanded the army and rushed towards the city gate. He was already imagining the wonderful scene of tearing the enemy into pieces in his mind.
"Ready to fight!"
After the passage was opened, the Blade Team led by Tu Qiang was at the front.
Behind them were rows of sword and shield soldiers, but they only accounted for half of the sword and shield soldiers. The remaining half all climbed up the "city wall" and stood side by side with the crossbow fleet, responsible for protecting the safety of the crossbowmen.
"Ouch!!!"
Leaning slightly, the strongest wild wolf has rushed to the city gate and is fighting with the Blades.
To be precise, he was massacred by the Blades.
The Chiyou warriors wearing full infantry armor looked like they were invincible when they walked towards the entrance of the tunnel.
With Tang Jing's blessing and blessing, it was like a tireless killing machine.
The wolves can barely hurt them!
"A bunch of trash!"
Seeing the wolves being slaughtered mercilessly, Hogg's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and he immediately ordered the wolves to get out of their attack position and turned to attack the enemy at the top of the city.
As for the fierce battle at the city gate, it is left to the bravest jackal warriors.
Hogg didn't believe it.
How long can the heavy infantry of a dozen people sustain it? It will eventually be torn apart.
"Ouch!!!"
To be continued...
