Chapter 330: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Although the Sunny King William was still more cautious, he actually didn't know that the scope of this ambush circle of the orcs was larger than he imagined. As long as he insists on marching, he will inevitably be ambushed.
Just start with Deschamps's plan. In his massive May Offensive plan, he was ready to swallow the two largest human forces in one go. Although he didn't know at this time, one of the plans had failed, but the other plan seemed to him to be nine out of ten. As long as the humans who highlight the Sunny Fortress advance a little further, a little further, they will not be able to go back.
Contrary to William's imagination, this encirclement did not exist now, because the orcs were actually far enough away from them that the human scouts could never detect each other. But in reality, this encirclement is very targeted.
Deschamps abandoned 30,000 remnants of the weak generals, which was given to the human coalition to eat, this is to resolutely judge the other party and lure the enemy out, otherwise he is not even willing to sprinkle the bait, how can the other party be fooled? These 30,000 people are bait, so fragrant that humans have to eat it.
Sure enough, William's troops barely lost much and won the battle in one fell swoop......
Marshal Deschamps also has 230,000 soldiers, including 40,000 hoplites of all-tiger people, 40,000 cat people, snake people, and kobolds, 20,000 pure-blood orc troops, and the remaining 50,000 are centaur marksman troops, and this encirclement should be on these 50,000 centaur marksmen.
After Lin Tian's order to strengthen reconnaissance around the battlefield was issued, a large number of thieves gathered in these places, and the news that came back made Lin Tian's hands and feet cold...... Obviously, the team on the sunny side. It's too late to withdraw.
A troop of 50,000 centaur marksmen, who are both marksmen. At the same time, it is also a cavalry, and it has to be a noun. Called Riding Archer.
These centaurs are born with 4 legs, and they have the name of horses, so they are naturally natural cavalry, although they are slightly inferior to real cavalry in terms of speed and endurance, but this gap is not too big, and they can barely be used. When Deschamps' 60,000 wolf cavalry was dispatched, they became the only cavalry unit. Now, the marshal is going to borrow these quasi-cavalry for a blitzkrieg.
As a matter of fact. The 230,000 orc army was a long distance away from the ambush point, and the scouts naturally couldn't find them, because they weren't at the ambush point at all. But while the humans were busy eating the bait, the orcs acted, and they approached the predetermined ambush point from the predetermined points like five fingers contracted.
And that's not even the deadliest, the deadliest is these 50,000 centaur shooters. Their position was clearly carefully designed, as they ran along the road and then swooped out, cutting through the path between the fortress and the attacking army. That would be equivalent to completely blocking the return route of the human alliance......
It's a well-planned serial scheme. The first is to deliberately release false news about the transfer of reinforcements (some are true and some are false, making it difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality. ), and then there's the real transfer of the army (except that the route is carefully designed). At the same time, he deliberately made a posture of suspicious defense, using 30,000 orc outcasts as bait. Tempting humans to feast.
In order to avoid human reconnaissance, they all evacuated for a considerable distance. After calculating the time, mobilize the whole army to surround according to the predetermined position, and at the same time use the centaur archer unit, this quasi-cavalry unit as a rapid reaction force, first step through the key positions, cut off the return of the human army in one go. The last step of the plan was an army of 230,000 orcs, encircling and annihilating 450,000 human coalition troops.
Someone is going to disagree. 230,000 encircled and annihilated 450,000, isn't this a joke?
No kidding, these 450,000 are human coalition forces, not Lin Tian's troops, if according to the ratio of 1 to 3, 230,000 orcs are equivalent to the combat strength of 700,000 human troops, in this case, it is not a fantasy to spend a certain price to encircle and annihilate the human coalition army......
When Lin Tian concentrated his energy and sorted out the context of the orc's encirclement and annihilation plan from the pile of thieves' snowflakes, he gasped and was speechless for a long time......
He's a little weak at this point. You must know that the current position of his army is still in the Shangri-La grassland, even if he abandons the aboriginal troops to go alone, it will take about two days, and if he uses three mounts to sprint in turn, he can be much faster. But can it be faster than the centaur shooter who is already in action?
The latest report shows that it only takes half a day for these brigades of centaurs to move quickly to completely cut off the way of the human coalition forces back to the city. In other words, it's too late......
Maybe tomorrow, these 450,000 combined forces of 450,000 people and dwarves will be surrounded by superior orcs in a narrow position, and then torn apart and eaten by the orc army. And even if he runs for his life, I'm afraid he can at most rush to collect their corpses. At that time, not only will the coalition forces be destroyed, but there will also be danger for themselves. Even after a war of this scale, it is impossible for the orcs to retain 230,000 warriors, according to Lin Tian's estimate, 14 or 50,000 should be able to command well, and this requires the human warriors to fight hard enough and have the will to die......
Orcs of this size, without reinforcements, are still at an absolute disadvantage. Don't forget, just after the Battle of Shangri-La, the aboriginal troops in his hands have lost more than half, and there are only 60,000 after the reorganization, and the 140,000 reinforcements from the royal capital are still on the march, and it will be 4 or 5 days before they rush to the battlefield.
But war is like that, the opponent is not a puppet, and it will not be planned by you. They will find ways to break away from your plans, and instead let you unknowingly be moved by their plans. There is a good saying, whoever holds the initiative in the war will win.
Before this, Lin Tian carefully directed a play and grasped the initiative in the war, so that he killed 140,000 orc elites in the Battle of Louis Bridge and Shangri-La respectively, and the form was originally very good. If he follows his plan and fights with hundreds of thousands of human alliances, the orcs will definitely not be comfortable. But Deschamps' plan also began to work, and he knew better about the human commanders who had been fighting him for many days, and carefully designed such a trap to lure the snake out of the hole, and in one fell swoop, the main force of the coalition army was pulled out of the well-defended fortress of the sunny day, and then caught the turtle in the urn......
However, Lin Tian was quite grateful to this righteous coalition commander, and he naturally had to repay Li when people voted for him. This product is actually a stubborn temper, and he eats soft rather than hard. When others bully him and look down on him, he fights back in a more drastic way, looks down on him more, and bullies others even more.
But if they are good to him, he will repay it a hundredfold. If you want me to say, the typical is the second goods that owe unfavors! (To be continued......)
