I opened a new book, I played live in the fairy world, everyone help collect it, and give some recommendations!

"What, my lord, you want to go on a northern expedition?"

After listening to Xiao Feng's thoughts, everyone in the conference room was stunned, this proposal is too bold, go out of the city to the north, and make hard steel with half-orcs in the wild?

For a while, all kinds of pictures poured into the minds of the leaders present, Kyle, Bloom, Friday, Charlesman, Kayla, Bilodis, Groin, Dean, and so on, everyone fell into a strange state of silence for a while, as if someone had smashed their heads, and they didn't know how to respond to Xiao Feng.

Although under Xiao Feng's leadership, they had established a foothold on the Panievilera Peninsula and established their own territory, but this was all under the protection of the high walls of Riverrun.

They were able to repel the attacking orcs one after another, relying on the thick walls of the city and relying on defense, but now they want to go out of the city to fight the orcs, they don't have much confidence, even under the leadership of Xiao Feng.

After all, how powerful the half-orc field battle is, they have all experienced it firsthand, in the wild, without the protection of the city wall, and the half-orc field battle, in their opinion, it is no different from sending them to death.

Although they had won several successive victories against the orcs, they had all achieved results by hiding behind the tall city walls, and a large part of the factors were due to the geographical advantages here, and the battlefield where the city walls were downloaded made it impossible for the orcs to invest too many troops at one time.

And in the open field, it is different, those orcs occupy the advantages of strength, speed and other aspects, and there is no terrain restrictions, once they come up from all directions, coupled with the style of those half-orcs who are not afraid of death, everyone just thinks about the pictures of those short-handed encounters with the half-orcs, and they all feel a chill.

"My lord, although we have faith in you, is it too hasty to decide to go out of the city to fight the orcs in the field?"

Xiao Feng has a lot of power in everyone's hearts, so although everyone has deep doubts about his thoughts, no one dares to show it easily, and the conference room was silent for a while, and finally it was the old and serious Kyle who took the lead in speaking.

"Haha, no, this plan is not hasty, in fact I have been thinking about it for a long time. I've already learned that in the last winter, including this spring, no orcs have ever appeared near our city walls, and our reconnaissance range has even spread to ten miles north of the city walls, what does this mean?"

Xiao Feng knew that most of these people here were defeated by the half-orcs, and they had been defeated by the half-orcs in the wild many times, so if he wanted them to agree with his ideas, he had to convince them, otherwise when the time came, the thinking would not be unified, and it would be easy for accidents to happen in the wild in the future.

The people present had not learned much of Sun Tzu's Art of War, so they didn't know much about battlefield psychology, and Xiao Feng knew much more about this than they did.

Looking at everyone's blank expressions, he explained to them with a smile: "This shows that in the previous wars, we have already hurt and scared the orcs, so they will take the initiative to shrink their sphere of influence, otherwise do you think that these guys who are not beastly and rely on instinct will retreat like this?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present fell into deep thought, it is true that the half-orc alliance, and the generals at the top know some strategies, and some can be regarded as tactical masters, but in terms of strategy, they are really not very good.

If they thought that it was easy to bully this side of Riverrun, it was not a big deal, I am afraid that Bingfeng would have been under their noses a long time ago, and they did this last year.

But when the ape-man general led the army and suffered a loss under Riverrun, their sphere of influence quickly shrank and fell backwards, which must have been their fear.

"It can be said that the last battle to defend the city was a turning point between us and the orcs in this area. At the beginning of this year's spring, not only did the orcs not come to provoke, but they didn't even see a ghost, either they selectively entered a state of strategic contraction, or their main force was now fighting elsewhere and didn't want to pay attention to us for the time being. In any case, it seems to me that they must be in a state of under-strength in this area now. ”

Xiao Feng's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, and he continued.

"With the nature of the orcs, what do you think will happen to them when they regain their strength or complete their conquest of other regions?

"Definitely not!"

Kayla replied, everyone present now has basically been guided by Xiao Feng's thinking, indeed the adult is right, once the orcs regain their strength, with their character, they will inevitably come to retaliate, and by that time, how many people will they send?

The first time they came with a thousand people, the second time they came with more than 10,000, and the third time they came with more than 30,000, so what about the fourth time? I'm afraid it will appear in the form of a thunderball, right?

Thinking of the overwhelming picture of orcs charging on the battlefield, everyone present felt a chill in their backs.

"Now we have more than 60,000 people on the side of Riverrun, more than 30,000 people on the side of Twin Towers, and we already have 100,000 people on the entire peninsula. But these are far from enough in my opinion, we need more manpower to develop the peninsula behind us, accumulate more strength, and prepare for the confrontation that will arise in the future? So now is a good time, while the strength of the orcs on the other side is empty, we should take the initiative to liberate more humans!"

As soon as Xiao Feng said this, no one objected anymore, it is true that their tribe now has a tendency to become a country, but the only weakness is the lack of population.

Now is not a time of peace, you can hide quietly in a corner of the continent to recuperate, and there are half-orcs on the north side of the city wall!

Therefore, if you want to develop and grow your strength quickly, there is nothing like going out to liberate more humans and capturing more orcs as slaves, which can bring greater help to the tribe.

Seeing that the people present were no longer speaking out against it, Xiao Feng immediately said: "Then this matter is decided, Kyle, Bloom, Friday, Bilodis, Dean, you follow me to the north, and the three thousand regular troops of Riverrun, plus three thousand auxiliaries, will fight together." Kayla, you, Charlesman, and Groyin, with the 3,000 soldiers brought from the Twin Towers, are responsible for guarding Riverrun, organizing logistics, maintaining order at the base, and preparing to accept refugees and captives. ”

Xiao Feng's status is special after all, and what he just said also convinced everyone, at this time, his decision is final, and no one will object to it.

The matter of the Northern Expedition was finalized, and the mobilization order was also issued, after Xiao Feng gave Kyle and Charles Esman their logistical preparations, which also played a role at this time, and all kinds of weapons, equipment, and food began to be transported out of the warehouse and distributed to the soldiers.

In fact, as in modern warfare, even in ancient times, it was fought in logistics, but in ancient times, not too many people noticed this.

In the modern world, it was not until the appearance of the book "On War" summarized by the German military scientist Clausewitz that the importance of logistics to a war was mentioned for the first time.

Later, countless of his disciples carried forward the ideas of this book, and after countless wars, they came to the importance of war as logistics!

If you want soldiers to play their due role on the battlefield, you can't ignore the impact of logistics on morale.

Xiao Feng brought this theory to this era, and it can be said that this idea is very advanced.

Prior to this, in this world, ordinary soldiers, in addition to knights, in the eyes of the military nobles of all countries in the world, were cannon fodder, and knights were real soldiers.

And ordinary soldiers, that is, gray livestock, usually ploughing and grazing, and so on in wartime, temporarily catch a lot of mud legs, these soldiers, the only role on the battlefield is to strengthen the courage, and to complete the mission of filling all kinds of pits.

As for the life or death of these ordinary soldiers, the nobles don't care at all, weapons and equipment supplies, hehe, not to mention.

According to Xiao Feng's understanding, ordinary soldiers in this world, when there is a war, must obey the conscription orders of those noble lords, and even bring their own weapons and equipment and dry food to join the lords' army and complete combat tasks, which is no different from the conscription and slave soldiers in ancient China.

The only good thing is that if the war is won, they will be able to get a certain share of the spoils, but if they lose, then it will be hehe.

Therefore, such a soldier can play some role on the battlefield when he is fighting a good fight.

And such a soldier, Xiao Feng doesn't need it, what he wants is an elite soldier who dares to fight, which is also the main reason why he has not expanded the size of the army, 3,000 elite soldiers can be much stronger than 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers.

For these 3,000 elite soldiers, Xiao Feng has never spared the inclination of resources, which can be seen very obviously in weapons and equipment.

Almost all of them are equipped with iron armor, although it is a slightly rough iron armor created by Groyin, but this is enough, these iron armor against the orcs, may not be of much use, but at least it can provide a very strong sense of security for the soldiers, which can greatly improve their morale.

All the soldiers were equipped with sophisticated spears, two meters eight spears, which gave them a relatively long range against the tall and powerful orcs.

Moreover, the spearheads of the spears were all three-edged bayonet-shaped spearheads that Xiao Feng asked Groyin to carefully build.
