Chapter 1455, Reconquest of Lost Territory
The whole thing went quite smoothly, and several veterans in the army were indeed capable people.
And after the previous outstanding performance, Hussein Ibn's approach of formulating tactics basically according to their opinions also made a group of veterans feel respected, and invisibly gathered a wave of people's hearts.
In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity brought to them by this cold winter, the Great Food Army, which was extremely familiar with the terrain, under the leadership of several veterans, could be said to have easily approached the target city.
Following the meaning of those veterans, this wave, Hussein Ibn did not choose to lead the charge as usual, but sat in the rear.
After all, he is now the emperor, and taking the lead in the charge can certainly boost the morale of the army, but on the other hand, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor must also be taken into account, and it is safer to stay in the rear.
This can be said to have greatly relieved Hussein Ibn at that time, and at the same time secretly sighed that their Majesty and their staff officers had control over this whole plan, and the thoughts and styles of several veterans in this great food army were almost completely expected by them.
After briefly confirming the entire attack plan, under the leadership of several veterans, the Great Food Army quickly overwhelmed the border.
Unlike humans, the orc army is small in number, and on this premise, Raymond Sosi has to disperse his limited forces in order to maintain his occupation and domination of an entire Eclipse territory.
According to the intelligence information fed back by the spies of the Spiegel Division, this border fortress happens to be the one with the least number of troops stationed on the border line, and the internal strength is only about 3,000.
Although the combat effectiveness of the orc soldiers far exceeds that of the human soldiers, the numerical advantage cannot be ignored, you know, the current Great Food Army has nearly 50,000 troops!
Several veterans who were familiar with the terrain first scattered 40,000 of them on both sides of the battlefield and set up an ambush.
Then one of them will attack with 10,000 troops.
When the orc troops on the opposite side saw this number of people, they naturally didn't have much scruples in their hearts, and went directly out of the city to meet them.
In their opinion, the Great Cannibal has long been a group of remnants of the defeated army, just fight casually.
Between advancing and retreating, the orc troops that came out were easily led away by the 10,000 food soldiers, and then, as soon as the signal flare sounded, the 40,000 troops ambushed on both sides were suddenly killed, and a wave of three sides encircled, directly killing the suspense of this battle.
The difference in strength between the enemy and us is there, even if it is an orc soldier, it can't withstand the suppression of more than ten times the strength!
Although it was only a small fortress in a remote location and small in scale, it was of great significance as the first piece of lost territory that their Great Food Army successfully recaptured.
The army was stationed, and the Great Food Army, which won the first battle, had already high morale, and this wave was almost about to break through the 90-point mark and reach the level of 'morale like a rainbow'.
Undoubtedly, this is a good sign, the morale has been raised to this level, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been significantly improved.
The only thing that is regrettable is probably the resource reserves in this fortress.
In addition to a fairly large stockpile of arms and ammunition, the amount of food stockpile is simply too small.
This made several veterans clearly aware that the orc army was in a food crisis, and although Hussein Ibn had known about this for a long time, he still had to make peace at this time, and at the same time put forward a proposal to take advantage of the victory and pursue and recapture several rear cities in one go.
This proposal was undoubtedly unanimously approved.
After all, they can only restore their productivity if they recapture a certain city, acquire population resources and factory facilities.
In the current situation, no matter how big or small, it is necessary to recapture a few cities first and lay the foundation for the restoration of the country.
After this proposal was passed, before the enemy orc army could react, Hussein Ibn and several of his veterans directly led their army to start a rapid march overnight.
According to common sense, the orcs in this border fortress are only in their early 3,000s, so the garrison of the rear city will only be less.
And it was true, Hussein ibn almost easily took the first border city.
Under the rule of the orc army, the days are almost miserable for the people of the Great Eclipse, and for the return of the Great Eclipse Army, they naturally welcome it with both hands.
After entering the city, the tragic situation in the city almost exceeded Hussein ibn's expectations.
The orc army that captured this place really had no intention of governing this city well, and in the months after the winter, they completely unilaterally continued to plunder food from the people.
But in fact, Raymond Sosi doesn't want to do this, and on the premise of not knowing how long this all-out war will last, for the sake of long-term consideration, it will definitely be beneficial to govern the cities he has captured, and then he, the humans, will provide him with productivity.
But the problem is that he has no choice now, and his orc army is already in a food crisis.
On the profiteer's side, he has not been able to buy food, and now he is almost unable to feed the soldiers under his own hands, who still has the spare time to govern the development of the city?
In this way, this is the current tragic situation.
So far, this entire Great Food Empire has lost knowing how many Great Cannibals have starved to death on the streets.
Looking at the yellow-skinned and skinny cannibal people and the corpses that fell in the streets and alleys, the soldiers and veterans of the big cannibals after entering the city all showed grief and indignation on their faces.
Taking a deep breath, Hussein Ibn ordered the soldiers to clean up the corpses as soon as possible in order to avoid an epidemic in the city.
At the same time, I went to confirm the granary in the city, and there was still some grain in stock, but it was basically snatched by those orc soldiers from the people of the Great Cannibal.
Originally, Hussein Ibn had planned to order people to distribute food and help the victims, but he was stopped by the soldiers beside him with a look.
Even with the grain stored in the granary, the food in their hands is relatively limited.
If you want to distribute food and help the victims, you can't do it at all, and if you do this, you will only have enough food for your army.
Around this matter, after discussing with several veterans for a while, they also agreed with a heavy face.
At the same time, a conscription notice was issued in the city, and priority was given to resuming the work of several important production factories in the city, recruiting workers, and checking whether there was any farmland in the city that could be cultivated.
If there is, then for long-term considerations, it will definitely have to recruit a group of farmers and reorganize them.
This job, on the premise of giving food as a reward, is enough to make countless citizens flock to it.
