My little country

Five days passed in a flash. During this period of time, the agents kept passing news about the capital to the wilderness camp.

After learning that Duke Yanan was so calm, he didn't send troops to attack immediately, but continued to wait for reinforcements from various directions, General Babu and others could not sit still.

Grand Duke Anan had more than 30,000 soldiers in the royal capital, plus the more than 20,000 noble private soldiers he enlisted, so there were more than 50,000 soldiers.

Grand Duke Anan occupies a favorable geographical position and has a lot of wealth. He can also recruit a large number of mercenaries and even non-human races to fight for himself.

As far as the news I have heard so far, not only several large mercenary groups from the Gangdu Kingdom have joined it, but also well-known mercenary groups from several surrounding countries are also coming!

And this Grand Duke Yanan also signed an agreement with the dark goblin forces in the underground world of the Iron Furnace Plain that was suspected to be cede, in exchange for the other side to send a black goblin wizard and an army of nearly a thousand people to help out.

If he waited so passively, General Babu worried that he and others would face an army of at least one hundred thousand!

Xiao Yu learned of this concern and held a meeting. After reviewing the gains and losses in all aspects, Xiao Yu nodded and agreed to the battle plan.

Since Duke Yanan belongs to the tortoise, he can hold his breath and let him take the initiative!

The first thing to do is naturally to fight out of this wilderness and enter the Ironforge Plain!

There is the best place in the Kingdom of Gangdu, with two-thirds of the population and three-quarters of the wealth of the entire kingdom!

There is a continuous mountain range between the Iron Furnace Plain and the wilderness, and the nearest gap stands a strong city-Rong Iron Fort!

Rongtiebao is said to be the land of Longxing of the King of Steel. Nearby is the kingdom’s best and most convenient open-pit iron ore, which produces 70% of the country’s annual iron ore.

Rongtiebao has developed the country's largest iron smelting industry by relying on this location, and well-known commercial guilds are located here, making this fortress very wealthy.

A wealthy city in the Lilliputian Country means strong strength. After all, there is no strength in this era, and wealth has long been looted by others.

Much of the strength of Melting Iron Fort is reflected in his city defense.

It has two walls. The outer wall is a 30-meter-high stone wall, and the inner wall is 35 meters. The distance between the walls is 100 meters. The height difference is just enough to allow the marksmen on the inner wall to sneak up on those who climbed. The enemy of the outer wall.

And regardless of the outer walls and the inner walls, there are densely packed bunkers and arrow towers built on the walls.

Ballistas, catapults, and all kinds of powerful crossbows are all there is. In the eyes of the former General Babu, the best way to attack a fortified city like Rongtiebao is to besiege rather than wait for food to surrender.

Duke Yanan used this trick to capture this city.

Now it has become the first difficulty to stop the King of Steel, Anrik's Restoration Army.

"It is impossible to besiege the Iron Fort without attacking." General Babu rubbed his cheeks and said nonsense about the information he had learned: "The scout learned the news from the nearby village."

"The rebellion has guessed our whereabouts. Two days ago, a king's knight group settled in the iron fortress and brought in at least fifty carriages."

"The iron fortress generally has five thousand defenders, including the young fortresses called up, the number is between 15,000 and 20,000." A thin nobleman next to Anrike calculated skillfully: "Fifty carts of supply. Even if only half of the food is enough for them to last for two weeks."

"Yes, you have to consider the food reserves in the fortress. This is longer... we can't wait!"

Xiao Yu yawned loudly after listening, and then leaned over to face the senior army officers in his single tent with a light smile:

"It seems that you all feel that you are going to fight, then just fight!"

"After breakfast, go to war!" Xiao Yu waved his hand, and after announcing it arrogantly, he thought about it and found out a two-jin glass bottle.

There is a simple logo on the bottle, which reads authentic Erguotou, and the alcohol content is 53%.

"Bab, I remember you mentioned that the barbarians in the wilderness like to drink and are addicted to alcohol. Drinking before the war can enhance their combat power."

"Yes, Lord Protector."

General Babu nodded, trotting in front of Xiao Yu and said: "Barbarians are born alcoholics! But after drinking, they can indeed increase their strength and fear death!"

"Unfortunately, the self-sufficiency of food in the Kingdom of Steel Capital is slightly insufficient. Wine has always been a foreign product, not to mention expensive, and often out of stock!"

Speaking of this, General Babu's face was full of grievances. Obviously this guy had tried to buy wine but was embarrassed and angry.

"It's all high-quality wine."

Xiao Yu organized a language to say: "Do you know what a high-grade wine is? It is wine that is twice as strong as the strongest wine you have ever drunk."

General Babu was stunned. He only felt that this high-grade wine was really a powerful wine name, and it was twice as strong as the strongest wine he had ever drunk!

He felt embarrassed and touched his beard. He was obviously a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he could smile like a flower:

"My lord Protector, this high-level wine removes the barbarians. We generals don't know if we can taste it?"

Xiao Yu smiled after hearing it clearly. He didn't expect that General Babu was also a good drinker. He said, "No problem, but drinking is a mistake. You want it. I'll give it to you after the war."

The liquor in Xiao Yu's hand is bulk liquor, bought at the familiar old grocery store, for five yuan per catty, and one catty for ten catties at a time.

For Xiaorenguo, a pound of wine is poured into a large pool of wine, and you can swim in it, and it is enough to drown any alcoholic of any level.

This time the two jin of OEM Erguotou was given to the 20,000 barbarian fighters as the forward, and bursts of excitement suddenly erupted.

With tens of thousands of people, the momentum was so great that even Xiao Yu couldn't ignore it. He walked out of the tent and watched the barbarians even fought for the striker position. He couldn't help but secretly shout that the military spirit can be used...or the effect of high alcohol is too great All right?

Among the 20,000 barbarian forwards, General Babu selected a thousand of the strongest and most capable pioneers as the dead.

Ordinary Pioneers only have one bowl of spirits, and each of these dead men can drink three bowls to maximize their physical potential.

Also worth mentioning is the equipment of these barbarians and dead men.

Weapons are varied, maces, hammers, wood axes, and one-handed knives can all be seen in the hands of these dead men.The armor is a uniform style, mostly bright red, sometimes red and white, and the shield is mainly blue, with white interspersed occasionally.

These armor shields are made of metal that the barbarians can't recognize. The few patterns that appear are mixed with strange things, so that the elders of the barbarians can't recognize the meaning.

But it cannot be denied that both armor and shields are genuine and good things!They are lighter than iron, but equally sturdy, and the barbarians can play their bold style better after wearing them.

Of course, these dead men didn't know that after they assembled as an army, Xiao Yu, the protector of the kingdom behind them, was holding his mouth and holding back not to complain.

"Delicious brand armor, Pepsi brand shield...Well, this is also the first time your two brands have appeared in Xiaorenguo, but I don't know if you changed into a weapon dealer, can you also achieve fame?"
