544 The Coming Decisive Battle
Now, for the first time, their tribe has fallen into a two-front battle mode, besieged by an army of hundreds of thousands of orcs.
If this had been in the past, let alone fighting on two fronts, they might have collapsed as soon as they heard that the orcs had sent over an elite army of more than 300,000.
But now that there is a spiritual pillar like Xiao Feng, they have confidence in the orcs.
This is the main reason why today, even if Xiao Feng is not here, but the two girls are still in danger, commanding and organizing soldiers, and fighting well on the battlefield.
They believe in Xiao Feng and believe that he will definitely be able to lead mankind to victory in this war, which has become an obsession!
And Xiao Feng didn't rush to answer at this time, but in his mind, he had indeed formed a battle plan to defeat the orcs.
This time, there were hundreds of thousands of elite orcs dispatched by the orcs, and outside Qukai City in the gourd gorge area, there were nearly 300,000 elite orc troops, and in the north of Rushing City, there were also no less than 300,000 orc troops.
And at present, in his tribe, the human army is simply unable to compete with these orcs in terms of numbers.
There are 60,000 regular troops and 100,000 baggage soldiers on the side of Hulu Gorge, which is the most elite combat force in his hands at present.
On the side of Riverrun, there are 20,000 elite soldiers defending the city, which is still trained by Kayla on the side of the Twin Towers, and as for the baggage soldiers, there are almost none.
Although there are still many militias in the rushing city behind, in terms of the training level of these militias, they are barely qualified to be a baggage soldier, and they do not have the conditions to be reorganized into a regular army.
So in terms of numbers, he can't form an advantage over the orcs, not to mention that the half-orcs have a natural advantage over them in terms of combat quality?
Therefore, it is impossible to go out of the city to fight in the field, and the only thing that can be done is to defend the city, but if the confrontation continues for a long time, the situation is naturally not good on their side.
After all, the human tribe has just formed a scale, the foundation is not solid, and it is still relatively fragile, and it cannot afford to fight a long-term war of attrition with the orcs.
The orcs on the side of the gourd gorge are different, although the half-orcs on the side of the gourd gorge have lost their baggage in the mountain city of Napal, as long as they make up their minds, then their rear will provide them with a steady stream of support.
Not to mention the group of orcs under Riverrun, they have the entire conquered Catlrun Empire behind them, and the Yingzhou Kingdom to provide them with.
Even if they spend a winter under this rushing city and stay up for a year, they have such capital.
But what about the Runriver City? Maybe the materials stored at present will survive this winter, but what about next spring? It is still necessary to sow seeds for spring ploughing, or else they may wait until next summer, when the green and yellow crops are not harvested, and they will be hungry.
After all, there are not only tens of thousands of mouths in the tribe now, but hundreds of thousands of people to feed.
Annihilate these orcs don't dare to say, but defeat them and repel them is a must!
But with the 80,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, how can he do this?
Even if Xiao Feng has tanks, airplanes, and cannons, although these firearms are extremely powerful, they can deal with hundreds of thousands of half-orcs, but the effect is not so obvious.
Since they have an advantage in terms of numbers and weapons, then this strategy of retreating from the enemy can only be found from other aspects.
Xiao Feng thought for a while before letting the other middle-level officers retreat, leaving only Bilodis, Kayla, Dean, and Groyin a few trusted senior leaders, and then said what he thought.
And after listening to Xiao Feng's words, all the leaders present were dumbfounded, it was really an immortal, such a plan can only be thought of by adults.
On the north side of Qukai City on the north side of the Gourd Gorge, large camps of half-orcs rose from the ground and filled the entire valley.
The supreme commander of the army, the camp of the high priest Zhuo Tuo, was built on a mountainside not far from Qukai City, and Zhuo Tuo also specially built a watchtower, standing on the tower, you can easily see the situation on the side of Qukai City.
The current Qukai City is no longer the Qukai City in their previous impressions, and the city wall is much taller than before, about fifteen meters.
Such a height, even for a half-orc who is good at climbing, is a very desperate height.
It had been two days since it had led a large army into the city, but it had not rushed to attack because the morale of the army was very low at the moment.
What happened in the city of Napal Hill has become a nightmare in the hearts of many orc soldiers.
The scene of meteors falling from the sky that night still appeared in his dreams from time to time, and he even doubted whether this war would continue.
Because the human mage on the other side was so terrifying, in his opinion, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he had to say that it was beyond the scope of what he could handle.
In the eyes of the High Priest Zhuo Tuo, the Death Reaper of Rushing City on the opposite side is currently one of the seven elders in their Mansha Holy See, and he can only deal with it.
As for him, he didn't have much confidence anymore.
But the war has already gone on to such an extent that it is not something that he can retreat from.
Before the official war began, he had already lost more than 50,000 people, and he still had 280,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
In the past two days, they have come to Qukai City one after another, and the mountain city of Napal has been completely destroyed, and all kinds of food and weapons reserves have disappeared, in order not to let the army go hungry.
Zhuo Tuo could only order the local grain to be requisitioned, so many small tribes in the Napal steppe were unlucky, and all kinds of food at home became their military food.
He asked the fox military division Hui Lan to be in charge of logistics, and reported a lot of figures to him in the past few days, according to the figures reported by Hui Lan, the military rations they have collected at present are enough for them to support them for half a month.
And within half a month, they must capture this Qukai City!
As long as the city of Qukai is captured, it is believed that a lot of grain will be captured from the city, and then it will go down the river as before, penetrate the entire Hulu Gorge, and recapture this important transit area.
Regain the initiative on the battlefield against humanity once again!
And at the same time, Zhuota's side should have also launched, right?
They fought their way out from the east side of the Continental Bridge, believing they had attacked the newly built city of Rushing Rivers!
Even if you can't capture that city, I believe it will bring huge psychological pressure to the human defenders in the gourd gorge.
The back road is cut off, the lair is attacked, and any army will be distracted when it encounters such a situation.
When the time comes, push them over, drive these humans out of the gourd gorge, and then join forces with Zhuota, and if the situation allows, then directly take down the Rushing City.
This is the battle plan that was originally made!
But unfortunately, before the whole battle plan began, he encountered accidents one after another.
The audacity of these humans to attack and occupy the mountain city of Napal was a big surprise to him.
Then in the mountain city of Napal, these humans were even more bold to go out of the city and fight with the army of orcs in the wild for a day, and finally although they retreated from the mountain city, they also left a very deep impression on Zhuo Tuo.
This group of humans is different from the ones they have met before, and it is very difficult to deal with.
Then came the tragedy of the mountain city of Napal, where the army that entered the city not only did not find food and supplies, but was slaughtered by the heavenly thunder meteor attracted by the human mage.
That night, more than 30,000 orcs were killed in the city alone, and countless others were injured, and Zhuo Tuo was even reluctant to send someone to carefully count the casualties.
It was precisely because of the meteor that fell from the sky that day that although they chased down Qukai City and the logistics supplies also followed, the morale of the army was still not high.
Everyone had a very serious fear of the Grim Reaper in Riverrun, and the hunger and thirst that used to dare to fight and be willing to fight against the human race was now gone, but the war-weariness began to spread in the camp.
So Zhuo Tuo was worried, but he didn't have much to do, he couldn't force these orcs to attack the city.
Who knows what the Reaper of Rushing City will do? If it is attracting a thunderbolt attack, the camp will collapse directly.
Therefore, even when Zhuo Tuo arrived at the city of Qukai, he did not rush to attack, but let the soldiers recuperate.
He knew that these guys with more muscles than brains, as long as they were given two days, they had enough to eat and drink, and they had enough spirits, and the hormones secreted in their bodies would restore their desire to kill and dispel their fears.
When the bestiality once again takes hold of them, that's when they attack.
It's a pity that from the third day, the originally low morale of the orcs has just recovered, but this day is not beautiful, and it begins to rain lightly.
Zhuo Tuo looked at the sky with annoyance, it was the autumn rain season of the year again.
Every year, when the seasons change, the warm and humid air currents blowing from the southern sea and the cold currents formed and blown from the snow-capped mountains in the north meet in the winds over this continent, and then form a large area of rainfall.
This rain usually lasts for several days, and when this period is over, it is late autumn, and then winter is right away.
The morale of the orcs began to gradually recover, but Zhuo Tuo was not in a hurry to send troops, he felt that he could survive it.
One is to wait for the soldiers to reach a peak of energy, and the other is to wait for the weather to clear, and when that time comes, it is time for him to launch a general attack.
This time, he planned to do the same as he had conquered the mountain city of Napal before, sacrifice without hesitation, and take this Qukai City directly in one go.
If it doesn't turn into a tug-of-war, it will be miserable, and I don't know how many orc lives will be consumed!
At the same time, Xiao Feng was also on the city wall of Qukai City, just retracting his gaze, and at the same time turned his head to look at the sky, the howling north wind, the sky was overcast, and it seemed that there would be another rainstorm tonight.
And at the same time, there is also the upcoming decisive battle!
