The King Chapter 228

  Chapter 228 The Enemy Appears

   On December 7, 99988 in the sacred calendar, under the repeated requests of the Mosi people, the expeditionary force completed the defense change.

  Looking at the Fort of Flying Bear behind him, Hudson couldn't help feeling sad.

  In the past few months, the Expeditionary Army has completed its transformation here, which is also a leap in his life.

  From an ordinary army commander to the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, he is unique in the entire human-beast battlefield.

   This climbing speed, even the top second generation in China, is hard to come by.

  In this respect, Crown Prince Caesar also contributed a lot. It was with his negative teaching material that the dignitaries of various countries realized "again" that war requires professionals.

  Even if you want to arrange children, you must first check your ability, not just arrange the position based on birth.

   Invisibly, many small and medium-sized nobles have left opportunities. Otherwise, the position of commander-in-chief would not have fallen so easily to Hudson.

  The coaches all take advantage of this east wind to rise to the top, and the generals below are no exception. In the past, only nobles above the viscount served as the head of the legion, but now there are not only barons, but even the head of the knight legion.

  Of course, this is mainly due to the particularity of the expeditionary force. No second-generation children came to pick peaches, so these personnel appointments were able to pass smoothly.

  If it is left in the country, if the little noble wants to get up, he has to go through battles again and again and accumulate enough prestige before he can be promoted exceptionally.

  How long this kind of good life will last, no one can tell. After all, the greatest lesson humans can learn from history is to never learn anything.

   The unity of the nobles was forced out. Once the situation improves, they will immediately fall into internal fighting.

  Looking at the towering city wall with nostalgia, and looking at the green vegetable fields, Hudson knew that leaving this time might be a farewell.

  Looking at the frowning officers who were sending off, he didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only let these people ask for their own blessings.

   It seems that two legions have been added to change defenses, but everyone knows that the Flying Bear Fort without the expeditionary army is almost like an ordinary military fortress.

   It's only a matter of time before the orc army makes a comeback. The vegetable fields outside the city can only be harvested in one wave, and there is no hope for the follow-up.

   Not everyone can scare off the orcs with their reputation. Maybe the wronged Xiongren imperial court will take revenge on the new defenders for the suffering they suffered from the expeditionary army.

   If you can't take down the Expeditionary Army, can you still not take down the two Mosi Legions?

   These are the internal affairs of the Principality of Moxi, and Hudson has no ability to intervene. No matter how difficult the next task of guarding Flying Bear's Fort is, someone has to guard it.

  Leaving this nail can make the orcs feel uncomfortable, which is the greatest value of the existence of Flying Bear Castle.

"Set off!"

  Accompanied by Hudson's order, the army marched in orderly steps and embarked on the journey mightily.

  The chilling aura coming to the face seemed to be silently telling: This is an elite division.

  One hundred and fifty miles away, the Bearman Royal Court, who had just transferred from the Bethel area, immediately received the news that the expeditionary force was leaving the city.

   "The enemy has finally come out. Tell the other four imperial courts that everything is going according to plan and let them speed up. This time, the enemy must not be allowed to slip away again!"

   Xiong Renhuang said viciously.

  As one of the five orc kings, the last expedition to the joint battalion, although the actual loss caused was not a big deal, the insult it caused was huge.

  Even though things have passed for so long, the political influence has not faded away. Every time everyone mentions the Expeditionary Army, they always bring the background board of the Royal Court of the Bearman.

  Hudson has essentially become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. It is really hard to dispel his hatred if he does not destroy the expeditionary force.

  Under the common drive of hatred and interests, there is a big net laid by the five imperial courts.

   Not only to destroy the expeditionary force, but also to take away the Warhammer Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi in one wave, and establish the glorious victory of the Orc Empire.

  The bait has been put down, the previous plan was very successful, and the next step is to test the actual operation.

   Outside the city of Dapace, in the camp of the orc army. Seeing the information from the Eagle scouts, Prince Butzweig smiled coldly.

   To break the siege of Dapez, it would involve the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, so it is naturally impossible to do it in one go. If the army is to gather from all over the world, it is simply impossible to achieve complete synchronization.

  Even if the Mosi people were prepared in their hearts, after ordering the troops from all over the country to move closer, they marched towards the city of Dapace in groups, but in the eyes of Prince Butzweig, there were still flaws everywhere.

   "Three elite infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments, plus five knight regiments, and 15 new regiments, plus seven expeditionary regiments, the total strength exceeds 350,000.

   This does not count the defenders in the city of Dapace. If all of them are added up, I'm afraid it's not far from 500,000.

   There are enemy troops everywhere in the south, north, east, and west. The Moxi people really think highly of us! "

  Prince Butzweig's words caused the generals to roar with laughter.

  There are many soldiers and generals, but they can't scare the Bimon Army. In the last Dacias battle, the human race also had an absolute advantage in strength, but they were still scattered and fled in the end.

  The number of enemy troops is larger this time, but the strength in their hands is also much more than before.

   "His Royal Highness, the enemy is gathering an army, and we can't just watch and do nothing.

   Just taking advantage of their busy time, defeating the army along the way first is a big gift for them! "

   Greg couldn't help but suggest.

  Beamon, who was born for war, has never been afraid of war, they only worry about the absence of war.

  If it weren't for the high-level Beamon being sober enough to suppress the warlike desires of the people below, I'm afraid they are either fighting or on the way to fight.

   "Captain Greg, your proposal is very good. The process of gathering the enemy army is indeed a good opportunity.

  But the more opportunities appear in front of you, the more rational you must be. If we can see the problem, so can the enemy.

  Who can guarantee that this is not a loophole deliberately released by the enemy, just to lure us into taking the bait? "

  Clark, who turned his mouth against him, was a think tank recruited by Prince Butzweig. In the past years, he has made many suggestions and is deeply trusted by the coach.

   "Then according to our Viscount Clark, just look at it like this now and do nothing?"

  Greg mocked pretending to be annoyed.

   Civil and military lines are two lines, it is impossible without conflict. As a general who was killed from the army with real swords and guns, Greg really looked down on this kind of lip service.

   Clark had already seen the scene in front of him. Greg didn't like a counselor like him, and he never liked this kind of "reckless man".

   If he really wanted to gain prestige in the army, Clark had plenty of opportunities. The problem is that he is Prince Butzweig's staff and think tank first, and his position in the army is only second.

  The opportunity to show off is naturally left to the coach. How can there be someone who is an aide and steals the show, and is dedicated to making achievements for himself?

  Duty is the main reason why he is so trusted. Otherwise, he is a fox-human race, how can he be qualified to sit here and discuss with a group of Bimons.

   "Don't worry, Commander Greg, we will definitely fight. But there are enemies on all sides, so we have to pick a target, right?

  For example, the expeditionary force that just came from the north. If we attack them, we won't be able to eat them for a while.

   After a long delay, the human army from all over the place gathered, and the army that besieged Da Pest City was in danger.

  The best choice now is to pick a weaker human army first to attack the morale of the enemy.

   For the next battle, it is best to wait for domestic reinforcements to arrive before fighting a decisive battle with the human race. "

   Clark replied calmly.

  A pit was dug down so lightly. He has basically said everything that can be said, no matter how Greg responds next, he will inevitably step into the trap.

"Humph!"

   After sipping coldly and expressing his dissatisfaction, Greg turned his head directly.

  Experience told him, don't argue with lip service, it means disaster.

  The best way is to use fists. If you can't agree with each other, you should be beaten up.

   They all hang out with Prince Butzweig, and they have to give the boss some face. This kind of thing must not be done.

   "Okay, let's stop here!

  Whether this is the enemy's flaw or a trap they deliberately left behind, we must fight this battle.

  Mr. Clark is right, the expeditionary force should be the strongest among these human armies. With only our main army, it is difficult to eat them in a short time.

  The enemy in the west is very close to the expeditionary army. If we attack them, it will easily turn into an encirclement of the two armies against us.

  The best choice is the enemies in the south. Although they have the largest number, most of them are recruits. There are only two knights and one infantry regiment with a little fighting power.

  As long as our speed is fast enough, we can completely defeat the enemy army before they gather.

  Head of the Guards, send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the fish has already been hooked, and ask him to urge the empire to send reinforcements as soon as possible. "

  Prince Butzweig said with a wave.

  The understatement failed to cover up the unnaturalness between the brows. Obviously, as the bait of this plan, he still felt the pressure.

   Compared with the Mongolian cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the human army is indeed low. But he couldn't stand the large number of human troops, but he only had one Beamon cavalry army in his hand.

  Throughout the ages, there have been more battles in which ants kill elephants, but far more than the classic battles in which fewer wins more.

   No matter how elite your army is, you must be cautious when facing an enemy army ten times larger than your own.

   After all, the enemies this time are not all mobs. The elite army of the human race is not as good as the Beamon army, but it is still possible to entangle them for a while.

  Once the battle is not settled quickly and turns into a long war of attrition, the party with the disadvantaged force will be a disaster.

  Dapest City, a group of princes and nobles are busy making strategic deployments. Even the news of the secret method of longevity did not arouse the slightest disturbance.

   It's not that they don't have the desire to live forever, on the contrary, it's because their desire to survive is so strong that they don't have the mind to think about these illusory things.

  No matter how good longevity is, you have to survive first before you are qualified to talk about this topic.

   "The expeditionary force has already set out, and armies from all over the Principality are also in action.

  For the sake of safety, the Ministry of Military Affairs asked the troops to suppress the marching speed to 30 miles.

  Marshal Hodge communicated with Earl Hudson that the expeditionary force will act as a vanguard to attract the attention of the orc army.

  However, according to the agreement, it is the principality army that is ultimately responsible for the decisive battle with the Beamon Army.

  Based on the marching speed of the expeditionary force, they are currently about 150 miles away from the city of Dapace.

   Next, let's see if the orcs fall for it! "

   Earl Martins said solemnly, as if everything was under control.

  It's a pity that everyone present is a veteran of the political arena, and they immediately understood the meaning behind the words.

   It sounds nice to suppress the marching speed at 30 miles per day, but the real situation is that the fastest marching speed of the army is at this level.

   The expeditionary force is responsible for attracting the attention of the orcs. In other words: the current expeditionary force is the closest to the city of Dapace.

   Playing language arts, Martins is also forced. As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Principality, he can't just say that his army's performance is unqualified.

   Even if this is the truth, it must be covered up.

   Otherwise, if it spreads out and causes turmoil in the hearts of the people, it will be a big trouble.

   What's more, the slow progress of the army is mainly dragged down by the new army. The main army is still good.

   "Count Martins, these main armies have just been supplemented. Can they entangle the Beamon army?"

   Prime Minister Herceg asked concerned.

   It's not that the Principality of Moxi is pulling the hips, it's mainly because the early battles lost too many elites, so that there is no follow-up.

  If it wasn't for the loss of the main force, it took a lot of time to rest and replenish at the rear, and the city of Dapace would not be so easily besieged.

   "Prime Minister, I think the problem now is not how to entangle the Beamon cavalry, but how to intercept the orc reinforcements.

  Just a Beamon Cavalry Legion, plus a group of cannon fodder troops, wants to besiege the city of Dapace. I don't think a normal commander can think of it.

   It is clear that it is the bait released, deliberately attracting our main force to come to the decisive battle, but the Principality has no way to refuse.

   Now the competition is about patience and speed. Whoever can't bear to make mistakes first will be more likely to be eliminated.

  Warhammer Kingdom is the best example. It tried to preserve its strength in the previous battles, but now it is time to pay the price.

  The expeditionary force of the Orc Empire has disturbed their rear. Gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, but was still led by the nose by the enemy.

  Although the situation in the principality is critical, we still have reinforcements. The advance troops of the Terran Alliance have already set off and will arrive in the spring of next year.

   Now what I need is to buy time. No matter what kind of battle, everything is about gaining time. "

   There is no positive answer, sometimes it is negative. The facts are right in front of you, and it cannot be diverted by personal will.

   Earl Martins, who is familiar with the Principality's army, knows very well that the key to entangle the Beamon cavalry is not the performance of his own cavalry, but more depends on whether the enemy cooperates.

   They are all high-mobility troops. As long as the Beamon cavalry wants to run, no one can stop them.

  The only knights who can compete with them head-on, the number is too small. Moreover, these troops belong to different families, and no one can say for sure how much combat effectiveness the temporary cooperation can exert.

   If you are not sure about tactics, then you can make up for it with a strategic victory. Their core task is to delay time and reconcile the siege of Dapes. The success or failure of one or two battles is not the key.

  Passively became the forward of the whole army, Hudson, who knew nothing, still marched step by step.

  The army gathered in Dapace City from all directions, no matter how the orcs chose, they could only attack in one direction.

   Persimmons are picky, Hudson believes that with his name, there is a high probability that he will not be that unlucky guy.

   "The order to go on, the detective horse will expand the detection range by ten miles, and the heavy infantry will be divided into three groups and take turns to serve as the front army."

  Experience is summed up, self-confidence is self-confidence, Hudson still can't guarantee that the commander on the opposite side must be smart.

  In case of encountering a naive general, they will choose the famous one to stand up, and the expeditionary force is the first target.

  Instances in this regard have never been uncommon in history. Many single-minded generals are often able to achieve unexpected results, mainly because the opposing generals miscalculated the hearts of the people.

  Although the purpose of war is to play with people's hearts, it needs people to have it. When encountering a single-minded enemy, no matter how you set up a suspicious formation, they will directly overwhelm them.

  As soon as the order was issued, the Griffin Cavalry, who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the Beamon Cavalry remotely, landed in front of Hudson.

   "Your Excellency, the Beamon Legion of the orcs has moved. The direction of their troops is just opposite to ours."

  Hearing the news, Hudson's first reaction was that a fighter plane appeared. Just considering the distance between the two sides, he had to suppress this tempting thought.

  Even the nearest orc is no less than one hundred and forty miles away from the expeditionary army.

   After a long-distance raid, I don't know if I can seize the opportunity, but I must be tossed and useless first.

  Soldiers are expensive on the battlefield. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity of the Beamon cavalry to go out to attack the camp, the best choice is cavalry.

  Unfortunately, the cavalry corps of the Expeditionary Army has just completed expansion and has not yet formed an army. It can only be regarded as an elite cavalry infantry.

   Cavalry combat and infantry combat are still different after all. Hudson didn't know exactly how powerful the Cavalry Legion was.

  Taking a cavalry corps of unknown combat effectiveness to attack the camp of hundreds of thousands of orcs, Hudson's mind is not broken yet.

   This kind of fighter is better left to the Mosi people. The army on the road must not be able to catch up, but the army in the city can make a move.

   It may be difficult to tear apart the encirclement net, but it is still possible to take advantage of the opportunity and boost morale.

  As if thinking of something, Hudson suddenly ordered: "Send the order to set up roadblocks on the road behind the army, especially dig more horse pits on the main road.

  Leave horse scouts along the way, and if you find the traces of the orc army, immediately light the wolf smoke. "
