The King Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Actions of the Terran Alliance

The first joint military meeting ended without a problem, not because the two sides did not cooperate, but because before the enemy made a mistake, they really couldn't find an opportunity to do something.

The Beamon cavalry stayed thirty miles away, and Hudson didn't have the guts to take the infantry to chase the cavalry.

Besides, the enemy also has legs. If you can't beat it, can't you run?

Even if all the cavalry of the Principality of Moxi are in place, there are only three cavalry regiments + a few knight regiments in one joint army.

Head-on confrontation with the Behemoth Legion is okay. If you want to encircle and wipe out the opponent, you don't even think about it. With such a small number of cavalry, they couldn't afford to encircle them at all.

The orcs are not stupid. Since they came here separately, there is a high probability that they are prepared. Unless the Eagles flying all over the sky are dealt with first, it will be difficult to defeat Zhenxin one by one.

It is not impossible to take a risky battle, but in the current situation, the Principality of Moxi simply cannot afford a big defeat.

Hudson, who has just stepped into the upper circle, is also unwilling to press down on his family's hard-won status and take military adventures.

If you can't find a fighter, you can only wait. Three hundred thousand troops were wiped out at once, even if they were all cannon fodder troops, it would not be able to replenish in a short while.

According to the information provided by the Moxi people, among the five-way reinforcements of the Orc Empire, the army of the Bearman Royal Court is the most powerful.

Now Hudson is not afraid that the orcs will come fast, but he is afraid that they will deliberately slow down the march and control the arrival time on the same day.

The five-way army gathered, together with the Beamon Cavalry Corps, it was another large-scale battle.

I don't know why, but now that the "big battle" is mentioned, Hudson feels a headache.

Relying on the strength of the expeditionary force and the large army gathered by the Mosi people, it is not a big problem to defend Dapes, and the hope of winning a big victory is really slim.

The military plan has not been worked out, but several emergency plans have been prepared. But those have little to do with Hudson. If the situation deteriorates to the point of getting out of hand, the expeditionary force will not have as many concerns as the Moxie.

Declined the Moxi people's retention, returned to the camp, and the final casualty report of last night's battle also came into Hudson's hands.

As he expected, there were almost ten thousand casualties. Fortunately, most of the wounded were rescued. After a few days of rest and nutrition, they became a group of good soldiers.

The final number of attrition was 6,376, of which 5,827 were determined to have died in battle, and the rest of the unlucky ones didn't know whether they got lost or got on the orc's barbecue grill.

"Send an order to let the cavalry clean up the nearby routs, and search for missing persons by the way!

If you encounter Beamon cavalry on the road, don't tangle with them and return to the camp immediately. "

Hudson ordered with a blank face.

As soon as he was successful, he led the troops to fight for more than half a year. He was used to seeing life and death, and now he has developed a "heart of stone".

Being soft-hearted can't solve any problems. The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of the orc so that he can go back to be his noble lord.

The expeditionary force lost a lot, but gained even more. The immature recruits, after the baptism of last night's battle, can be considered to have seen the "big scene" now.

Compared to the past, the soldiers have obviously increased their aura, and their temperament has changed.

This change is most familiar to Hudson. It's just that in the past, it would only appear after several times of fighting, but this time the one-night battle took place.

Sure enough, it is still a brutal battle, which can best create a strong soldier.

The total strength of the expeditionary force has decreased, but the recruits have transformed into veterans, and the combat effectiveness has increased slightly.

"kill!"

Deafening shouts of killing resounded throughout the world, and the assembled army of the Warhammer Kingdom launched an attack on the orc infantry camp.

For a while, arrows rained all over the sky, and flying stones rolled down.

The Magic Crystal Cannon also popped up to join in the fun at some point.

There are only sporadic magic crystal cannons, only the human army has equipment, and the orc army that came all the way with light vehicles can't bring these big things.

It was so easy to surround the orc infantry, Joseph couldn't believe it.

It was like a dream, as if the orcs suddenly had water in their minds and let them fiddle with them.

"Your Majesty, the orc cavalry didn't rush over for reinforcements, but instead wreaked havoc even more recklessly.

Judging from the news from various places, the enemy seems to want to bypass us and go all the way north to cooperate with the orc army in the north to open the gap! "

Military Affairs Minister Thiago's words were like a basin of cold water that poured a chill on Joseph II who was in joy.

The script was not prepared this way. The original plan was to besiege the orc infantry, attract the orc cavalry to help, and then fight them decisively.

Didn't expect the siege plan to be completed soon, but the orc cavalry played their cards out of common sense and played "you fight yours, I'll fight mine".

The loss of 30,000 infantry orcs is enough, but the northern defense line cannot be lost by the Warhammer Kingdom.

Once the orc army breaks through, the present of the Principality of Mosi is the future of the Kingdom of Warhammer.

Even their situation will be even worse. The Orc Empire's emphasis on the Warhammer Kingdom is obviously more than one level higher than that of the Principality of Moxi.

A strong line of defense, that is only for external enemies. If there is an enemy coming out from the back, it will be another scene.

"If we annihilate the orc army in the encirclement first, and then return to the northern defense line, will there be enough time?"

Joseph II asked concerned.

The minister of military affairs did not speak, but the prime minister said first: "Your Majesty, it is not just a question of whether it is too late, but what the orcs want to do.

It is true that the orc cavalry marched northward, but they also did not forget to carry out destruction along the way, burning houses, destroying farmland, and expelling the people...

All the places they passed were reduced to ruins.

The provinces along the way can basically be declared abolished. If this situation continues, there will not be an inch of pure land in the entire Warhammer Great Plains.

The foundation of the kingdom has been shaken.

And the millions of refugees who are on the move, now also a new threat. In some areas, there have even been farces of refugees storming noble castles to grab food. "

The actual situation is more serious than what Prime Minister Guy said. The destruction of the local economy will directly weaken the Warhammer Kingdom's war potential.

The most direct consequence is that the logistics support of the army will not be guaranteed.

Without the fertile Warhammer Great Plains, only the mountainous provinces in the west of the kingdom could not afford the huge material consumption of the army.

Even if all the accumulation of the nobles is emptied, it is still a drop in the bucket.

The assistance of allies is also hopeless. Even if everyone is willing to donate generously, it will be difficult to transport the supplies.

As the most remote kingdom of the human race, although the Warhammer Kingdom has escaped countless internal disputes, it is difficult to obtain help from various countries in times of crisis.

If you really want to deliver supplies, you will inevitably borrow from the Principality of Orton or the Principality of Moxi. Not to mention the long distance, the current situation of the two countries simply has no spare capacity to help them organize transportation.

Inventory can be consumed in a short period of time, but once this kind of idleness continues, it will be a matter of time before the Warhammer Kingdom collapses.

Transformed from a military issue to an economic issue, Joseph II's head became bigger and bigger.

Suddenly, he suddenly understood why the orc infantry could easily siege them.

With the successive problems in the rear, the logistics of the 700,000 troops assembled are slowly being eaten away by the orc army.

This kind of destructive destruction is much more effective than the simple method of robbery.

As long as the besieged orc infantry can be dragged on for a while, the 700,000 army will collapse by itself because of food and grass problems.

Thought he had insight into the enemy's conspiracy, Joseph II was not happy at all.

In order to gather the 700,000 troops, the military forces of several provinces in the rear have been evacuated. Facing the long drive of the orc cavalry, there was almost no way to fight back.

Even if the left-behind nobles stick to the castle, they cannot stop the advance of the orc army. Cavalry is not suitable for attacking cities, but it does not mean that they cannot drive serfs to attack cities.

You can't expect everyone to be tough. With a knife on your neck, there will always be someone willing to cooperate with the orc army.

Since Duke Daniel banned massacres and used refugees to cause trouble for the Warhammer Kingdom, this war has become different from before.

The current Warhammer Kingdom not only needs to provide food and supplies for the army, but also find ways to relieve refugees. If any link is not done well, it will become a huge thunder, blowing up this ancient kingdom to pieces.

If they knew earlier, the orcs would play like this. Joseph II would never gather an army and run over to fight them.

The troops were scattered all over the place, and although they couldn't block the orc's front, it was absolutely impossible for the enemy's cavalry to move so smoothly.

It is impossible for at least a dozen cavalrymen to drive thousands of serfs to destroy and even besiege noble castles.

Not being able to divide troops arbitrarily means that the enemy's destruction speed will be greatly reduced, and they can also gain more time for emergency preparations.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality. If it is really a new start, Joseph II may not be able to withstand the pressure.

It seems that he initiated the Atreus provincial battle, but in fact it was a joint effort of various interest groups in the kingdom.

Who made everyone's foundation on the Warhammer Great Plains?

Without struggling hard, who would be willing to abandon the family business and evacuate to the west to resist?

People leave their hometowns and are humble, and the same is true for nobles. Without the support of the foundation, even with the strategic transfer of the army, their right to speak in the kingdom will be greatly weakened.

Wars are full of variables, no matter how strong your hands are, if you lose follow-up strength supplements, you will only get weaker and weaker.

After recovering the lost ground after the war, the original foundation has nothing to do with the frustrated people like them. If you are lucky, you can get some compensation and appeasement. If you are not lucky, you will not even be eligible to live to that day.

Interests determine the position. Marshal Borg was able to insist on abandoning the Warhammer Great Plains and retreating to the western mountains because he was the spokesperson for the interests of the nobles in the western provinces.

Joseph II can't, the foundation of the royal family is in the Great Plains of Warhammer, and the core supporters are also in the Great Plains of Warhammer.

If you dare to give up the foundation directly, maybe before the orcs come, the people under your hands will start to make trouble.

Individuals cannot go against the general trend, even if they know the risks ahead are huge, they can only bite the bullet.

Now the question is raised, it is because their foundation is being destroyed by the orc cavalry, and they are in urgent need of rescue.

"If we give up..."

Just halfway through speaking, Joseph II forcibly swallowed the rest of the words.

It is easy to let go of the encirclement, but these tens of thousands of orc infantry will turn into brown sugar and follow them all the way.

As long as the army shows a slight flaw, these enemies will bite at the first time. They are all elites, and once they make a move, the loss to the army will definitely not be small.

It is even more impossible to divide the troops and go north for reinforcements. The mobility of infantry is far less than that of cavalry. It is estimated that they only took a few days to divide their troops, and the orc cavalry turned their guns and came back.

Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, most of the remaining army will be cold.

Busy with a loss of soldiers and generals, and let yourself fall into strategic passiveness, that is a serious blood loss.

What's more, after the war, the balance of power between the two sides will also change, and the situation will worsen.

"Is there no good news?"

Joseph II asked helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I have just received news from the Principality of Moxi that they have defeated the orc army that besieged Dapace.

As long as they can withstand the counterattack of the orc reinforcements in the next big battle, the situation in the Principality of Moxi can be stabilized.

There was also good news from the Alpha Kingdom. After breaking through three lines of defense, the orc army was finally blocked by them.

It is said that a counterattack was launched, which defeated three main orc armies and wiped out more than 200,000 orc armies.

The first batch of reinforcements supported by the Terran Alliance have all set off now. A total of 300,000 elite troops will arrive in the Principality of Moxi within two months at the earliest.

In addition, the alliance meeting also approved the previous proposal of the Alpha Kingdom, and the major forces will send experts to reinforce the front line first.

The support is strong this time, and all forces with parliamentary seats must send at least one earth knight or magister.

One vote represents a master, and the top forces also promised to send sky knights to participate in the battle. These masters will arrive one after another in a month.

Once these forces are in place, we will completely suppress the Orc Empire with high-end forces. "

Foreign Secretary Cassidy unhurriedly released a big thunder.

Everyone who was worried that the situation would get out of hand suddenly found that they could still be rescued. As long as you persist until the arrival of reinforcements, the deteriorating situation may be restored.

The only problem is the distribution of reinforcements.

The 300,000 elite army is not a small number, it has already surpassed the entire military strength of many countries.

Before the outbreak of the war, among the many forces of the human race, there were only five with a standing army of more than 300,000, and there was only the Alpha Kingdom in the north.

However, there are many reinforcements, and there are many countries that cannot hold back and need reinforcements. After everyone divides it, there is not much left.

"How many reinforcements did the kingdom get?"
