Chapter 815, take precautions
(Don't look at it yet)
The time, place and people, sometimes one or two things are enough, but sometimes they are indispensable.
After the orcs in the Tarim Basin threw themselves into the arms of the Condor Empire, the Condor Army occupied the right time and place in the Tarim Basin.
However, since the Condor Army entered the Tarim Basin with all cavalry corps that were not suitable for siege, they were lacking in the number of people and people besieging the city.
If the siege was launched by the regular army of the Condor Empire, then after the absolute superiority in numbers and the superiority in the height of the walls on which the enemy relied was wiped out.
Even if the enemy's tactics of fire attack caused them heavy losses, they could continue to attack the city until it was completely breached.
It's a pity that the orcs in the Tarim Basin don't have the fighting spirit of the Condor Army.
Don't look at the fighting spirit when they first attacked the city, but it was just an illusion.
When their attack suffered a setback and suffered a large number of casualties, they were immediately beaten back to their original prototypes.
When Ma Wanli saw the bear-man warriors standing stunned in the face of the devouring flames, he knew that it would be difficult for the orcs who only relied on the Tarim Basin to break through the Tiger King City.
And just as he expected, the other two battlefields also suffered similar defeats to the bearren side.
When the bear-man warriors withdrew, seeing their dejected appearance, Ma Wanli immediately felt very disappointed.
Because he knew that when Rose Holy Light reported the performance of the bearman warriors to Ning Yuan, the name of the Tarim Heavy Infantry Legion was basically out of contact with them.
As Ning Yuan's cronies, Rose would not normally be sent out by Ning Yuan alone to carry out combat missions, and he came to the Tarim Basin this time to investigate the three orc clans instead of Ning Yuan.
If the bears don't show the appearance of being lost after being hit hard, they continue to attack the city.
Then even if they failed to break through the Tiger King City in the end, Ning Yuan would give them affirmation because of their high will to fight.
At that time, as long as Xiong Dalin and the others can pass a series of loyalty tests, Ning Yuan will definitely send people to train them, and they will become a new heavy infantry corps based on them.
But unfortunately, the performance of the Orcs in the Tarim Basin was too disappointing.
Therefore, after breaking through the Tiger King City, Ning Yuan will most likely transfer an orc heavy infantry legion from the northeast region, and then use this orc legion as the basis to expand the army, absorbing some Tarim orcs who are not bad.
As for the separate army that Ma Wanli once mentioned, it is estimated that there is no drama at all.
Near noon, Niu Dashi, Zhu Dachang and others rushed to Ma Wanli with a solemn face, and the six of them held a meeting again.
Looking at the three people with solemn faces, Ma Wanli spoke: "The three patriarchs, let's report the losses of the morning first!" ”
After listening to Ma Wanli's words, the three of them glanced at each other, and finally Xiong Dalin took the lead in reporting: "The bear people have dispatched a total of 31,207 people, and 5,725 people have been killed, and there are no wounded. ”
After Xiong Dalin finished speaking, Niu Dashi continued: "The Minotaur clan dispatched a total of 30,000 people, killed 4,500 people, and there were no wounded. ”
Zhu Dachang said: "The wild boar people dispatched a total of 31,000 people, 4,823 were killed, and there were no wounded. ”
After listening to the casualties reported by the three people, Ma Wanli immediately took a deep breath and forcibly dispelled the deep disappointment.
The 90,000 orc warriors lost 15,000 men in just one morning, and then they were driven off the city walls by the tigerman defenders, which was a bit of a heavy loss.
Although the number of casualties on the besieging side has historically been greater than that of the defending side during a siege, this is generally the case when the defending side has the advantage of the walls.
The Condor Army built countless ice and snow passages outside the city walls, directly using the ice and snow passages to offset the advantages of the walls of Tiger King City, and the orc warriors could directly rush to the city wall along the ice and snow passages.
If you don't take into account the situation where the tiger people use fire attacks, then the enemy and us are basically on the same running line.
Although the tigerman defenders still have a slight terrain advantage, the orcs of the three clans also have a numerical advantage, so there should not be such a large battle loss ratio at all.
However, the fact now is that the orcs of the three tribes, who have the advantage in numbers, have been defeated.
Then there is only one truth, that is, the strength of the orcs of the three clans is far inferior to the tiger defenders of Tiger King City, and the reason why they failed miserably is that their skills are inferior to people.
Glancing at Xiong Dalin and the three of them with very depressed expressions, Ma Wanli adjusted his thoughts a little, and then comforted him: "The three patriarchs don't have to be so depressed.
The warriors of your tribe are all on the battlefield for the first time, and they have not received formal militarized training or weaponry, so it is normal that they cannot defeat the enemy.
All the elite soldiers are trained in blood and fire, as long as those warriors of your tribe can successfully survive this level, then they can grow rapidly, and one day they will become the elite of a hundred battles.
When the three patriarchs go back, they must be enlightened and help them through this difficult time.
Tomorrow at noon, we will continue to attack Tiger King City, and hopefully I will be able to see a group of reborn orc warriors by then. ”
"General Ma, will you continue to attack the city tomorrow? Don't you give the fighters a little time to adjust? Hearing that the siege would continue tomorrow, Zhu Dachang immediately became anxious.
Seeing that Zhu Dachang and Niu Dashi were both a little reluctant to continue the siege, Ma Wanli immediately patted his forehead and explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell the two patriarchs.
The flying legion sent by His Majesty Ning Yuan to support us has already arrived, and they are repairing in a valley, and it is expected that they will be able to reach Tiger King City tomorrow morning.
When the time comes, the Flying Legion will cooperate with the warriors of our three clans to launch an attack on Tiger King City, and Tiger King City will be broken tomorrow. ”
Hearing that the flying legion of the Condor Army had arrived, Zhu Dachang's faces immediately changed.
Zhu Dachang asked, "General Ma, why did the reinforcements sent by His Majesty Ning Yuan arrive so quickly?" Didn't you say it would take them two months to get here? ”
Ma Wanli said: "It should have been like this, but Your Majesty is eager to unify the entire Tarim Basin as soon as possible, so he asked them to rush over all the way day and night." ”
"Then tomorrow we will cooperate with the Flying Legion to attack the city, and after breaking the city, can we still get the reward of His Majesty for forming a separate army?" Zhu Dachang asked the question that the three of them were most concerned about.
1996
Seeing that all three of them looked concerned, although Ma Wanli couldn't bear to tell them that cruel answer, he couldn't bear to deceive them.
After sighing helplessly, Ma Wanli shook his head and replied, "Due to the performance of the warriors of the three clans this morning, I am afraid it will be very difficult for them to form a separate legion for the main force. ”
Seeing that the three of them all had dejected expressions on their faces after hearing the answer, Ma Wanli immediately comforted: "Three patriarchs, although the chance is already very slim, it is not that there is no chance at all.
As long as the warriors of your three clans can fight tomorrow with a new look, I am sure that the several battlefield observers sent by His Majesty will re-evaluate them.
Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know it yet, His Majesty Ning Yuan has sent Seraphic Observers over, and they have been closely watching every place on the battlefield from high altitudes, and our every move is under their watch.
I'll be honest, and please don't mind the three patriarchs.
Your performance this morning has been really disappointing.
Although the warriors of your tribe are entering the battlefield for the first time, they should not be intimidated on the battlefield.
The tradition of the Condor Army is that no matter whether we win in the end or not, we must not be weaker than the enemy in terms of morale and fighting spirit.
If those warriors of your tribe were not frightened by the enemy's fire attack tactics, even if you failed to break through the Tiger King City in the end, His Majesty Ning Yuan would have felt your bravery, and he would have considered letting you form an army alone.
It's a pity that you didn't pass this most important test.
In fact, I told you before the siege that the enemy will use fire tactics against you during the siege, and you have all seen the power of fire incineration.
Hey, that's a shame. ”
At the end, Ma Wanli sighed again.
Ma Wanli was originally very optimistic about Xiong Dalin, and he sincerely hoped that Xiong Dalin could enter the inner circle of the Condor Empire.
If Xiong Dalin can be reused by Ning Yuan, then as Xiong Dalin's guide, he is the Bole who discovered Xiong Dalin.
But unfortunately, Xiong Dalin was not able to turn the tide in the end.
After listening to Ma Wanli's words, Xiong Dalin and the three of them showed their disappointment, and they kept sighing there.
Seeing the three of them like this, Ma Wanli had to speak again and comforted: "The three patriarchs, gold will shine sooner or later, and you can't collapse because of a failure."
As I said earlier, although the hope of forming an army alone is very slim, it is not completely hopeless.
And just because you fail this time doesn't mean you won't have a chance in the future.
As long as you can perform well in the future, His Majesty Ning Yuan will still give you a chance to reuse yours.
When you look at yourself like this, it's all a sigh.
As a commander of the army, you are all like this, how can you enlighten the soldiers under your command?
As a general who commands the army, victory or defeat is only a criterion for evaluating your ability, and being able to mobilize the soldiers' fighting spirit and make the most correct judgment at a critical time is the criterion for judging whether a general is suitable for leading troops.
So if the three of you are interested in joining the military, then you must always be able to maintain a calm mind.
Because if you are in chaos first, then your army will be in chaos as well. ”
At the end of speaking, Ma Wanli's tone suddenly began to sharpen, and he hoped to wake up the three of them in time.
If they couldn't even accept this setback, then it would be impossible for them to be reused by Ning Yuan.
"General Ma is right, if we are all like this ghost, wouldn't the bunch of rabbits under our hands be even more depressed?" Xiong Dalin was the first to be awakened by Ma Wanli.
After bowing deeply to Ma Wanli, Xiong Dalin said: "Please rest assured General Ma, no matter what the final result is, we will do our best to fight tomorrow, and we will never disgrace General Ma again." ”
"Old cow, old pig, let's go, go back and wake up those rabbit cubs, let them cheer up again."
After finishing speaking, Xiong Dalin and the three of them arched their hands towards Ma Wanli and the three of them, and then turned around and left the camp.
After the three of them turned to leave, the wolf who had not spoken the whole time said to Ma Wanli: "General Ma, it seems that you are very optimistic about this Xiong Dalin." ”
"How so?" Ma Wanli asked with a smile.
Wolf Invincible replied with a smile: "If you weren't optimistic about him, you wouldn't be so patient with them, because even if we didn't have them tomorrow, we could easily break through Tiger King City." ”
Seeing that the wolf was invincible, Ma Wanli said with a smile: "General Wolf, don't you think that this Xiong Dalin is a talent?" ”
"If he's never fought, it's really good that he's doing that." Wolf Invincible replied.
"What about General Ivan?" Ma Wanli looked at Ivan on the side again.
"It's a very good organisational and a good adaptability, so it's a good thing.
If you can get a ginseng fruit from Your Majesty, then in time, this Xiong Dalin will become a great weapon. Ivan spoke highly of Xiong Dalin.
"Do those two generals know why I'm helping this Xiong Dalin so much?" Ma Wanli continued to ask.
"I don't know."
They both shook their heads at the same time.
Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, Ma Wanli didn't sell it, and directly gave an explanation: "Presumably the two generals know Your Majesty's ambitions."
Our Majesty's greatest wish is to be able to expand the territory of the Condor Empire to the boundless.
His Majesty once said that wherever the sun and the moon shine on the rivers are the territory of the Condor Empire. ”

Behind the Elephant Warriors are heavily armed Bear Warriors, Minotaur Warriors, Boar Warriors, and Tiger Warriors, and unlike the Elephant Warriors, these large men are armed directly to the teeth, and each one is like a small moving bunker, which will feel very difficult to gnaw just by looking at it.
Behind the orc hoplites is the 60,000 Condor Guards led by Shen Wanli, flanked by the Terran Heavy Infantry Legion, and behind the Terran Heavy Infantry Legion are the Dwarf Heavy Infantry Legion and the Barbarian Legion.
Behind the Condor were five hundred dwarven ice bear cavalry and the Terran heavy cavalry legion, the werewolf guerrilla legion and the elven windrunner legion followed behind them, and on the two wings were the Condor Leader's cavalry legions.
