Chapter 16 Kekou Armor and Pepsi Shield

Five days passed in a flash. During this period of time, the spies continued to deliver news from the capital to the wilderness camp.

After learning that Grand Duke Yanan was so calm and did not send troops to attack immediately but continued to wait for reinforcements from all walks of life, General Babu and others couldn't sit still.

Grand Duke Yanan already had more than 30,000 soldiers in the royal capital, plus the more than 20,000 noble private soldiers he recruited, there are more than 50,000 people.

Grand Duke Yanan occupies a favorable location and possesses a lot of wealth. He can also recruit a large number of mercenaries and even non-human races to fight for him.

According to the news heard so far, not only several large mercenary regiments from the Kingdom of Steel City joined in, but also well-known mercenary regiments from several surrounding countries are also coming!

Moreover, Grand Duke Yanan also signed an agreement with the dark elf forces in the underground world of Iron Furnace Plain, which was suspected to be a cession of land, in exchange for the other party sending a black elf wizard and an army of nearly a thousand people to help out.

If he continues to wait passively like this, General Babu is worried that he and others will face an army of at least 100,000 or more!

Knowing this worry, Xiao Yu held a meeting, and after reviewing the gains and losses in all aspects, Xiao Yu nodded and agreed to the battle plan.

Since Grand Duke Yanan belongs to the tortoise, then he can hold his breath and let his side preemptively strike!

The first thing to do is naturally to fight out from this wilderness and enter the Iron Furnace Plain!

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

There are continuous mountains between the Iron Furnace Plain and the wilderness, and the nearest gap stands the kingdom's rare fortified city - Melting Iron Fortress!

Iron Fortress is said to be the land of Longxing for the royal family of the King of Steel. Nearby is the best and most convenient open-pit iron mine in the kingdom, which produces 70% of the country's annual iron ore.

Relying on this favorable location, Rongtiebao has developed the largest iron smelting industry in the country, and there are well-known commercial guilds located here, making this fortress very rich.

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

The strength of Rongtiebao is largely reflected in his city defense.

It has two walls, the outer wall is a 30-meter-high stone city wall, and the inner wall is 35 meters high. Enemies of the outer walls.

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

Ballistas, trebuchets, and all kinds of strong crossbows are available. According to the former General Babu, the best way to attack a strong city like Rong Iron Fort is to besiege rather than wait for it to surrender without food.

Grand Duke Yanan used this trick to capture the city.

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

"It's impossible to besiege Rong Iron Fort without attacking it." General Babu rubbed his cheeks and talked nonsense about the information he had learned: "The scouts got the news from a nearby village."

"The rebels guessed our whereabouts. Two days ago, a knight group from the royal capital entered the Melting Iron Fortress, and brought in at least fifty carriages of supplies."

"Rong Iron Fort generally has 5,000 defenders. Counting the young and strong conscripted fortresses, the number is between 15,000 and 20,000." A thin nobleman next to Enric calculated skillfully: "Fifty carts of supplies Even if only half of it is food, it is enough for them to last for two weeks."

"Yeah, we still have to consider storing food in the fortress, it will take longer...we can't afford to wait!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yu yawned a lot, then leaned over and smiled lightly at the senior officers of the army in his single tent:

"It seems that you all feel that you are going to fight, so let's fight!"

"After breakfast, let's go to war!" Xiao Yu waved his big hand, and after announcing with pride, he thought for a while and took out a two-jin glass bottle.

There is a simple label on the bottle, which says authentic Erguotou, alcohol content 53% and other small characters.

"Bub, I remember you mentioned that the savages in the wilderness like to drink alcohol like life. Drinking alcohol before the battle can enhance their combat power."

"Yes, Lord Protector."

General Babu nodded, and trotted in front of Xiao Yu and said, "Barbarians are born alcoholics! But after drinking, they can indeed increase their strength greatly, and they are not afraid of death!"

"It's a pity that the food self-sufficiency of our Steel City Kingdom is slightly insufficient. Wine has always been imported, not to mention expensive, and often out of stock!"

Speaking of this, General Babu's face was full of resentment. Obviously, this guy also tried to buy wine but was embarrassed and annoyed.

"It's full of high alcohol."

Xiao Yu organized his words and said, "Do you know what high alcohol is? It's alcohol twice as strong as the strongest alcohol you've ever had."

General Babu was stunned, thinking that this strong wine was really a powerful name, it was twice as strong as the strongest wine he had ever had!

He stroked his beard embarrassingly. He obviously had a Chinese character face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he could actually smile like a flower:

"Master Protector, this high-grade wine is not for the barbarians. I wonder if we generals can try it too?"

Xiao Yu smiled when he heard it clearly, he didn't expect that General Babu was also a good drinker, he said: "No problem, but it's a mistake to drink, if you want it, I'll give it to you after the battle."

The baijiu in Xiao Yu's hands was in bulk, and he bought it at an old grocery store he was familiar with. It cost five yuan a catty, and he could give away a catty of ten catties at a time.

As for Lilliputian, a catty of wine poured down would be a large basin of wine, and one could swim in it, enough to drown alcoholics of any level.

This time, the two catties of OEM Erguotou were distributed to the 20,000 barbarian fighters who were the forwards, and bursts of excited shouts erupted immediately.

When there are tens of thousands of people, the momentum is huge, and even Xiao Yu can't ignore it. He walked out of the tent and watched the barbarians even had many fights for the position of the forward. alright?

Among the 20,000 barbarian vanguards, General Babu selected another 1,000 strongest and most capable vanguards as the dead soldiers.

Ordinary pioneers only have one bowl of spirits, but each of these dead soldiers can drink three bowls, so as to maximize their physical potential.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning the equipment of these barbarian dead soldiers.

There are all kinds of weapons. Maces, hammers, woodcutters, 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, sometimes interspersed with white.

These armor shields are made of metals that the barbarians can't recognize, and the few patterns that appear have strange things mixed in them, making the elders of the barbarians unable to recognize the meaning.

But it cannot be denied that both armor and shields are genuine good things! They are lighter than iron, but equally strong, and when worn by barbarians, they can play more boldly.

Of course, these dead soldiers 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 his complaints.

"Kekou armor, Pepsi shield... Well, this is the first time that your two brands have shown their faces in Lilliputian, but I don't know if you can also become famous after changing your business as a weapon dealer?"

A new week, a new start, how about counting the votes?
