Of course, in addition to the regular army, the Xihe Kingdom also had a much larger number of militia regiments.

However, after knowing the threat of the orc kingdom, the Xihe kingdom began to organize military training in batches for all adult males under its rule. Ensure that every adult male is given one month of the year for military training.

Therefore, if one of the three is drawn, the Xihe Kingdom can easily pull out a militia group with more than 100,000 troops.

But no one wants to do it unless they have to.

The cost of summoning such a large army is too great. If nothing else, the daily consumption of food alone would be astronomical. And the militia is not a real warrior after all, their combat effectiveness is very low. If it is pulled to the battlefield, its role is only to defend the city. Although Xiping City has undergone a comprehensive rectification, it has been strengthened and widened into a real fortress.

But no matter what, there are no less than 100,000 people stationed in Xiping City.

Therefore, this huge number of militia regiments will only be sent to the battlefield when the battle situation deteriorates, so as to have a "inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood" defense battle with the orcs.

However, the arrival of kings, city-state armies, and Templars from all over the country one after another in Xiping City has already brought a great sense of security and confidence to the defenders.

After all, since the founding of Xihe, it is the first time that an army of this size has been assembled.

The huge number of troops was formed into an array, standing on the wall of Xiping City and looking at it, the overwhelming feeling was not much more than the orc army.

Therefore, after seeing such a powerful legion, the city lord Fengshi, who was still worried about the war, was almost swept away with panic and worry in his heart.

"This time, whether it is the fortress outside the city or our city, it can be defended by sufficient troops. ”

"Yes. I believe that this time, those damned orcs must not be able to take the city again. We will defeat them completely outside the city!" said Marshal Xilian.

But then, when time passed day by day, and the huge orc army really gradually approached this important border town, all the generals and high-ranking leaders in the city couldn't help but feel nervous and depressed.

"The griffin knights have received news that the orc army is less than a hundred miles away. Judging by the speed of their march at the moment, these orcs will be about to march down to the city by noon tomorrow. ”

Early this morning, Wu Lin took the intelligence news sent by her subordinates, looked at Marshal Wang ** Xilian and tribal reinforcement leader Zhu Xiao and others, and couldn't help but say word by word: "This time the orcs have 50,000 troops. We had less than 40,000 troops.

We are at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and the same is true in terms of combat strength. Looking at it this way, if we want to win this war, we must win the first encounter. ”

"That's right. But we can't just hide in the city. We can't hold on for long with just one wall. We're going to have to go out of town with these orcs for an encounter. Kingdom Marshal Xilian echoed.

The Xihe Kingdom also had a great military strategist. I once said it in my book "On Offensive and Defensive Warfare". "A besieged city cannot be held, a city without reinforcements cannot be held, and the best way to defend a city is to keep the enemy out of their reach. ”

And as the marshal of the kingdom, in these days, Xilian can also be said to have turned this work to pieces. So while agreeing with the witch Lin's opinion, he also used his own opinion: "The victory and defeat of the first encounter are the ones that can affect the soldiers' confidence in victory the most. We have to win the first meeting, but it can't be a defensive victory behind the walls.

We should use our best legions to defeat the orcs where they can't reach our walls. Only in this way can we build up confidence in the victory of the warriors, and can we make those orcs who come from afar feel afraid!"

With that, a pair of eyes turned to the others present.

"Sounds like a good idea, I agree!" Zhu Xiao, the leader of the tribal reinforcements, was the first to raise his hand to express his attitude.

When he was scouting, he fought with those orcs, and he felt that the combat effectiveness of those orcs was not very good. So he's confident that he's going out of town and winning.

He was, and the Templar leader's guard thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Now, there are 6,000 Templars and Tribal warriors in the city who have been blessed by Liang Tian. In Shou's opinion, if it was just a confrontation, there was no reason for them to lose.

So at this moment, everyone turned their eyes to the witch Lin.

Although there were 30,000 people in the king** and the city-state army combined, everyone knew that the person who really made the decision in this war was the witch Lin.

"Xilian said it very well, I think this is exactly what we need. ”

Witch Lin said this, and also said that she had no opinion. It was at this moment that the tactical plan of the human defenders was formalized.

"Then for the rest of the day, it's just a matter of waiting for the orcs to arrive. ”

At the end of the meeting, she looked to the west from afar, and the witch Lin said secretly in a voice that only she could hear.

......

"Ten miles ahead, our warriors have already discovered those human watchtowers. By noon tomorrow, we'll be in their first border city. ”

A few hours later, in the army of orcs dozens of miles away from Xiping City. The Great Patriarch of the Fire Blade Tribe, Red Tiger, looked at Dawu, Hasen, Chagan, Agora and the others in front of him, and said like this.

"Good. Hearing this, Davout, who had long been eager for war, couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Then first pull out those human watchtowers one by one, and then push the army over and directly crush the city." What do you think?"

"It's just a group of slaves, can they really stand up to tens of thousands of Sask warriors? ”

"Hah, that's right. Just crush them. ”

The Grand Patriarch of the Demon Axe Tribe, Hasen, and the Grand Patriarch of the Star Bow Tribe, Chagan, both have full confidence in their own side. I don't think there's any need for a strategy to deal with the hordes.

In fact, at this moment, Davout, as the commander of the coalition forces, also has the same opinion.

It can be seen that the Red Tiger and Agoura on the side have not yet spoken, and in order to show fairness, they also asked them.

"I'm okay with that, I'll listen to you. Agoura smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, the red tiger on the side also echoed.

"Very well, let's do it. Let the warriors of the subordinate tribes uproot the human watchtowers one by one, and then crush their cities and your humans who don't know whether to live or die with their armies. ”

In a few words, the orc army also set its own tactics.
