Xiao Feng walked around the city wall, and saw that Kyle was very Bloom and there were several more fresh-faced generals behind him, a few of them were promoted from their original ranks, and a few were promoted by Kyle from the defeated troops of the Toulon Empire and the Cataron Empire.

According to Friday's report to him, these people are all capable and have led troops in battles before, and Kyle feels that they are trustworthy, and there is a real lack of junior officers, so he promotes some people.

Although Kyle is a soldier, he doesn't understand politics at all, and when he looks at Xiao Feng's expression, he can't understand what Xiao Feng is thinking, so he immediately called the middle-level generals he promoted over and introduced Xiao Feng one by one.

Xiao Feng was not very familiar with these people, but he could also feel that although these people's attitudes towards him were full of curiosity, they were also quite deferential, so he didn't say anything more.

"Let's go, go in and talk. ”

Xiao Feng took a group of people and others into the arrow tower on the city wall.

"I've heard about the situation, and now you tell me how many soldiers there are in this Qukai City. ”

"Lord Qiqi, at present, we have trained 60,000 regular troops and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers. ”

As the chief military officer, Kyle naturally knows the situation of the army well, Xiao Feng smiled.

"You've recruited all the people in Hulu Gorge? Haha, forget about it, I'm going to strike first, what do you think?"

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, everyone present was stunned, Kyle and Bloom both had big mouths, and the generals promoted by Kyle were even more shocked that their jaws fell.

Kyle and Bloom had been with Xiao Feng for the longest time, and they knew that their mage had always been a bold man, but this time they were still stunned by Xiao Feng's proposal.

You must know that what they are facing this time is not 30,000 half-orcs, but 300,000, and the half-orcs they face this time are not the old, weak, sick and disabled like before, but the absolute elite main force!

All their current strength is combined, although it is 160,000, but the real warriors among them are only 60,000 regular troops.

Thinking about the gap between the 60,000 regular army and the 300,000 half-orc elites, Xiao Feng still wanted to take the initiative at this time, didn't this let everyone go to death?

When Xiao Feng made this proposal, he was also paying attention to the faces of the generals under him, Kyle and Bloom and the generals who had been following him before were okay, although they were shocked at first, but then their faces became resolute, and they did not ask too many questions about Xiao Feng's proposal.

This is the prestige that he established in the hearts of these people after he led them into battle many times and achieved victory, as well as the previous experience of defeating the strong with the weak and winning more with less, played a role in the hearts of these people.

On the other hand, the officers and generals that Kyle promoted later had a somewhat unnatural look on their faces, and it was obvious that they couldn't trust themselves too much.

If such a person leads a small team to go out, it is very likely that he will lead the soldiers to escape on the battlefield, and he already has some arrangements for these people in his heart.

However, since he was ready to strike first, Xiao Feng naturally had his own plans, and as soon as he waved his hand, someone brought a large sand table.

This sand table happens to be Qukai City, and the mountain route to the north of Qukai City, and finally out of Huluzui and the Napal prairie outside.

This is also the sand table that Kyle made according to the topographic map after Kyle and the others captured Qukai City, and after Bloom led people to scout and came back from many expeditions, he drew a topographic map.

"Now the orcs are close to the Napal grassland, the mountain pass where they set off is in the city, I flew over in the afternoon to reconnoitre, the castle has basically been built, and a large number of weapons and grain are stored in it, it seems that the orcs want to use that city as a base for going forward, and once they fail this attack, they can also retreat. And with this city, they can form a stalemate with us here, and once they recover, they can rely on this city to attack us... ”

Xiao Feng pointed to the topographic map, near the mountain pass of the Napal prairie, and explained to the generals below.

The forward base built by the orcs on the other side of the mountain pass made him feel like a man's back, and after seeing it in the afternoon, he felt that he had to pull out the nail, or else he would give the orcs a fulcrum to confront them.

Kyle and they are all veterans, although their military knowledge may not be as rich as Xiao Feng's, but the war experience and battlefield feeling are still quite rich, they have known that city for a long time, they all know that the city will make everyone very uncomfortable there, and they have all thought about taking this city, but when they think of the elite of the orcs stationed in this city, they are all discouraged.

"Maybe it's also because when Qu Kaichen led the team to counterattack last year, he suffered heavy losses in the mountain stream before he arrived in Qukai City, and these orcs were very careful this time. Although the city had been repaired, they did not immediately set out to attack us. When I reconnoitred from the air in the afternoon, I found that they had sent a lot of human slaves to cut the mountain streams to build roads and clean up the rivers in the mountains, apparently in preparation for unnecessary losses... ”

Xiao Feng continued to inform these people of what he had discovered in the afternoon, and this time the faces of many of the generals present were gloomy.

They had also sent cavalry to reconnoiter the movements of the orcs many times before, but after being ambushed several times and suffering heavy losses, they no longer sent troops.

Bloom also rode the vulture out to reconnoiter many times, but every time he didn't wait for the half-orc camp, he would encounter multiple golden eagles to attack him, so he couldn't detect much information.

They hadn't known about the movements of the orcs outside for a while, and the news that Xiao Feng brought back this time scared them, the orcs were actually building roads and controlling rivers?

Originally, everyone still had some luck mentality, because the mountain road was narrow and difficult to navigate, even if the half-orcs had an army of 300,000, it was not good to rush all at once to Qukai City, but now it seems that if they repair the road, the 300,000 army will rush over at one time, it will really not be a problem.

"That's the main reason why I said, we need to strike first. The enemy is so big that we can't follow their rhythm and wait for them to come and attack us. We should take the initiative and take them by surprise first. And I don't think they would have thought that we would dare to take the initiative. ”

What Xiao Feng said is actually what is often emphasized in modern tactics, and it is nothing new to be dangerous and unexpected, but in this world, this way of thinking backwards is very bold and novel.

Kyle and Bloom pondered that this seemed to be the case.

"And I noticed that the human slaves sent by the orcs to build roads in the mountain streams are numerous, and if we rescue them, it will greatly supplement our strength. Moreover, there are not many overseers sent by the orcs in the field, and it is clear that they have already expected us to dare not take the initiative. ”

When Kyle heard this, he basically agreed with Xiao Feng's idea, because the current Qukai City is already a soldier for all the people, and what is most lacking is people.

"The third reason is that when I flew to the castle built by the orcs in the afternoon to reconnoitre, I found that the orcs were constantly sending grain and straw materials into this castle, but in fact, there were not too many people stationed in this castle. Because the city was built in a hurry, the city was not large. An army of 300,000 orcs wanted to live in it all, but that was unlikely. Therefore, the army of orcs was actually stationed in a river bay thirty miles away from the city wall. And the defense in the city is also very lax. If we touch it quietly, we will definitely be able to surprise him. In addition, this city, although it is only a base, is very conducive to our defense, and even if we can't defend it, we can burn the orcs' food and grass materials and destroy this city. ”

"Yes, that's how it should be!"

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Kyle stood up suddenly, he also figured it out, it is indeed better to take the initiative to attack than to passively wait for the orcs to come here, even if it can't beat that city, it is better to burn it.

Without sufficient food and materials, how long can the 300,000 army of the orcs last under their Qukai City?

Thinking about it like this, he suddenly had confidence in defending Qukai City again, and after listening to Xiao Feng's thoughts, there were not a few officers who suddenly had confidence again.

In the humble and low-spirited environment, the momentum suddenly rose, which is the benefit of having a backbone.

Seeing that the morale had been boosted, Xiao Feng said to Kyle: "Without further ado, we will set off tonight, the soldiers are not much more expensive, you first transfer a part of the mountain infantry out, let them open the way in front." The cavalry is pressing in the rear, don't worry, I will give you a sweep. ”

Kyle nodded, and immediately summoned a few heralds to give the order.

Soon there was a burst of meat in the barracks in the city, obviously for tonight's battle, the leaders of the battalion also prepared good wine and meat, so that the Erlang who went into battle tonight could have a good meal.

As soon as the dinner was over and the sun had completely set, Xiao Feng immediately opened the city gate, led 10,000 soldiers out of the city, and rushed straight to the mountains in the distance.

Before departure, all the soldiers rode horses, the mouths of the horses were covered with chews, and the horse's hooves were wrapped with linen cloth of a local kind of hemp grass to minimize the sound of horses' hooves.

Xiao Feng looked at his watch, the time to go out of the city was half past seven in the evening, according to the footsteps of the horses in this world, about midnight, he could meet with the road construction team of the half-orcs.
