Chapter 127: Divergence
The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.
In today's world, no one has yet summed up this truth. But as a general, Zhu Xiao also understands that the siege of the city can only be grasped at the first time.
Now he is betting on this certainty.
Therefore, at this moment, the witch Lin and the leader of the Templars, who were sitting there, listened to him say in a high voice, "Since the great battle outside Xiping City and among the orcs, we have never lost. Whether it's on our own territory or on orc territory, we're invincible. Ma'am, to put it bluntly, this is when our morale is at its highest.
So, if we don't take advantage of this time to attack the walls of the orcs, when will we attack them? If we continue to delay, our chances will only get smaller and smaller. In other words, the cost of success will be greater for each day of delay.
So in my opinion, we should launch a general attack on Fireblade City tomorrow and take it down in one fell swoop. ”
"In one go, you can't help but think too simply!" Shou firmly objected in this regard.
"Everyone knows that a thousand warriors are condescending, relying on the walls to defend the city, and it takes three thousand warriors to attack. That's the strength of the defenders.
Today, there are no less than 20,000 orc inhabitants in the city. Among them, there are no less than 5,000 adult males who can take up arms and fight. Orcs are also a race of soldiers, and in addition to men, those orc women can often bend bows and spears.
In this way, we will not have any advantage in terms of troops. If you don't have an advantage in terms of troops, but you have to attack a well-defended fortified city, this is not the choice of a smart person!"
"You!" Zhu Xiao's face turned red instantly. What is "not the choice of a smart person", isn't this just saying that he is stupid.
Zhu Xiao is also young and vigorous, and he can stand this. So he pointed at Shou's nose and scolded, "Shou, you are an idiot who can't think." How can those lowly orcs be comparable to the warriors who have been blessed by our lord.
What can you do if you don't have an advantage in terms of troops, just ask, which warrior can't do it with one enemy against two, and one against three. ”
"Shut up, I've taken that into account a long time ago. We only have 6,000 people, and even if we can fight two with one, we will not have an advantage with one against three. Compared to ordinary Kingdom warriors, those orcs can even defeat three with one and five with one.
However, when they attacked the castle held by the warriors of the kingdom with the same number of troops, they did not take advantage of anything. You can ask my captain Ye Li about this, he was a kingdom general who commanded the first great battle with the orcs.
It is with this in mind that I suggested that we should encircle the reinforcements. In this way, it can not only consume the living strength of the orcs, but also take the opportunity to affect the morale of the orc defenders in the city. Do you understand, "smart man"!?"
"You bastard!"
Naked mockery is really naked mockery. Although Shou didn't say that his mouth was dirty, his words made Zhu Xiao more uncomfortable than scolding.
So looking at him, Zhu Xiao couldn't help but say hatefully: "You don't have to say these things, you bastard can say more than me, I admit that I can't argue with you." But if you're really capable, let's go out and have a showdown, and I promise to be proud of you bastard!"
"Ha, then come on!"
"Papa~"
The two are staring at each other with wide eyes. On the side, the witch Lin, who was silent just now, suddenly clapped her hands. When the two turned their heads one after another, the witch Lin, who was very calm on her face and still had a smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at the two of them with a smile instead of anger and said, "You guys are really majestic." Have you all forgotten what you do?
Look at what you two bastards just said, isn't that amazing!"
One second there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the next second he smashed the table with a calm face. Shou and Zhu Xiao shuddered and lowered their heads, neither daring to look up.
But even so, the witch Lin pointed to the two people in front of her and still scolded for a long time, making the two of them red-faced and ashamed.
Then, looking at the two people in front of her, Wu Lin couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's normal for different opinions to have differences. Why not scold or even fight.
You're not a three-year-old, and you're not an idle drunkard who spends all day doing nothing. So, I don't want that to happen a second time, you know?"
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"Louder!"
"Yes, ma'am!" both said in unison.
Seeing this, the witch Lin nodded, and said, "I just thought about it seriously and decided to use the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements." Zhu Xiao, don't be unconvinced, and don't think I'm partial. I have my own considerations for this. ”
"I understand, ma'am. ”
"Very well, then you all go back. ”
waved his hand to let the two leave, and when Zhu Xiao and Shou left one after another, the witch Lin couldn't help but sigh again because of the quarrel just now. It's like the orcs aren't monolithic.
Servants of the gods, tribal warriors and Templars were also at odds. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that there are great differences between the two sides in customs, political systems and economic structures, and even food. It's normal to look at each other unpleasantly.
That's pretty good at the moment. A few months ago, when the tribal warriors had just arrived in Xiping City, the conflict between the two sides was even greater.
Especially when it comes to the details of faith. Even though the Tribal warriors and Templars were stationed in different parts of Xiping Castle at the time, physical clashes broke out from time to time.
Because in this regard, the tribe that prioritized the belief in Liang Tian always had a sense of superiority. And when this sense of superiority is manifested, it will give people a sense of arrogance. But the Templars are not like petty beings, and they will inevitably cause some physical conflicts when they come and go.
"It's not easy to lead both Templars and Tribal warriors at the same time!"
Noticing the scene in front of him, Liang Tian, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but let out such an emotion. But he chose to wait and see.
Although he has all kinds of magical abilities, he can turn decay into magic, and make the impossible possible. But he is not omnipotent, nor is he omniscient.
He also has his own limits, things he doesn't understand and can't do.
If you meddle in everything, you will inevitably have the ridiculous thing of an insider commanding an outsider, and then tarnish your own image of being a great and upright person. It's better to wait and see what happens, just go to the bottom of it.
With this in mind, the night will soon be deep. Witch Lin lay on the bed and fell asleep, but a group of orc warriors in Fireblade City were sharpening their knives.
