Chapter 66: Departure

If the mobility of the orcs in the wasteland were to be viewed by the standards of the nineteenth-century armies on Earth, the future of humanity would be extremely pessimistic.

Before the appearance of trains, automobiles and airplanes, the mobility of the human army was like a turtle crawling compared to the orcs, even if the equipment level of the human race during World War II was compared, in the absence of large-scale airlift capabilities, the mobility of the orc army still has its uniqueness.

The key lies in the traditional logistical system of animal husbandry that has cultivated a large number of livestock-assisted traditional logistics and, most importantly, the terrible constitution that exists in the flesh of each individual orc itself.

Most orc races, when their physical capacity exceeds 50% of their own body weight, can still maintain a daily range of more than 200 kilometers (winter, an average of 12 hours of light level), and this speed will not cause too much physical wear and tear of the orcs, and will not affect a series of marching elements such as the orcs camping and eating, or even preparation for war in unexpected situations. In the long process of evolution, the orcs have followed large herds of livestock to migrate in the wasteland for almost their entire lives, so their leg strength is quite terrifying.

As for the well-known long-legged race of four-legged centaurs in the orc race, it is even more remarkable, short-distance assaults in the wasteland land, these guys can run at a high speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, even if it is a long-distance attack, it is very easy for them to travel 5600 kilometers a day, as long as they can ensure supplies.

The terrifying physical abilities of the orcs give them unrivaled ability to maneuver in combat. If nothing else, this weight and physical strength alone can make the human soldiers on Earth die of shame. In ancient times, the orcs had such strong physical strength that they were enough to form an invincible army of high-powered tanks, invincible; And even in modern times, the orcs are armed with modern industry, and they can become an assault force with extremely little dependence on logistics, and the combat radius and durability are extremely terrifying.

If these data are taken to the history of human warfare, it is definitely a very terrifying number, even in the modern warfare of the 21st century on the earth, the mobility of the large-scale human army cannot be compared with it.

Compared with the centaur, the human air force, perhaps the combat radius can exceed this number, and the strike distance of the strategic air force and ultra-long-range missiles can form a bird's-eye on it, but after all, that is the level of unconventional combat forces, among the real ground combat conventional combat forces, not to mention the mechanized group army of the army hegemony of the last century, even if it is a more modern air assault group army, under the barrel effect of logistics support supply restrictions and differences in the power of different arms, It's also hard to compete with the overall mobility of the orcs' massive centaur battle groups.

The orcs, a strange intelligent species of the otherworldly continent, actually contain extremely terrifying war potential. Compared with them, mankind only has an advantage in the intensity of firepower of modern weapons, information-based unified communication command, and weapons of mass destruction.

Such a race, a continent like the Orc Wasteland, although the area seems to be huge, but in this way, it is really like a narrow cage for the orcs.

Even Zhang Quan himself only gradually realized this fact after personally commanding such a large-scale group march of his subordinates, and he was immediately shocked when he calculated it in private! Even if he was just an otaku pseudo-army fan on Earth, he knew a little bit about what this terrifying mobility meant for war, and he couldn't help but feel terrible for the power hidden in the orcs.

What is even more frightening is that this ability does not rely on external machinery like the humans of Earth, but belongs to themselves.

The orcs, a civilization that is completely different from the human race on the earth, slowly opened up to him little by little as Zhang Quan gradually integrated.

……

After Berg, who flew back from the air, gave Zhang Quan a detailed report on the situation of the leopard man found a hundred miles away, he immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the march, and while marching, he urgently convened the generals under him to discuss the matter.

"It's Otrius' men and the elders' men who are fighting, I guess, that's right." Zhang Quan first asked the former Cat Clan patriarch Carters to introduce the situation to everyone, and by the way, let him appear in front of his subordinates.

He said, "When Xia just escaped from the Talon Division, I saw with my own eyes that the Leopards of the Sharp Talon Division were in a mess and attacked each other, and they have not stopped until now. ”

"So you mean that we should strike quickly to eliminate them, or should we take a second look at the situation around us?"

"No, Patriarch, we should seize this opportunity to destroy them immediately, the leopard people in the wasteland are known for their strong mobility, once they find our army approaching, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not immediately retreat and wait for the support of other tribes. The leopards are fighting each other, but it doesn't mean that they are not defensive against outsiders, and if the pressure we bring is too great, it is also possible that they will complete the internal integration in advance and deal with us in a unified manner. ”

Zhang Quan nodded in his heart, his meaning was the same, while the Leopard Race was still in chaos now, it was his established policy to attack each one with thunder.

The leopards are not easy to deal with, they are the most feared assault infantry in the wasteland, they are the natural sprint champions in the wasteland, they are invincible in short-range assaults in the orc race, their attacks are extremely fast, their movements are agile and ferocious, and they are the natural enemies of almost all the lower orc races. It would be best to have a chance to annihilate some of them while they were weak in the field.

For this kind of enemy, there is absolutely no room for any hesitation in the battle, and he must be more fierce than them, and he actually advocates taking the initiative to fight, but although he agrees with it in his heart, it is not shown on his face.

He looked at the rest of his men, waiting for their opinions.

Several other generals in the tribe, Bill Gas, Kobold Grant, Centaur Glenn, and Thor who was recently promoted by Zhang Quan's appreciation for his military exploits.

These guys are obviously very unhappy with the appearance of Carters, a cat man, but they also agree with his opinion, especially Thor, who is Kenya's deputy and cares about his old chief.

"Patriarch! Master Kenya, he hasn't come back yet, how is he doing?"

Zhang Quan replied, "The situation is very bad, he must stay and monitor by himself, his physical strength can no longer hold on." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Thor hurriedly said, "You don't have to wait for the brigade to attack, just our scouts and centaurs are enough, less than a thousand leopard men, and they are divided into two groups of melee, and our two divisions together are enough to defeat them." ”

Zhang Quan looked at other people, and he was just as eager, everyone cared about the old man Kenya,

"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Quan decided to believe in the combat power of the centaurs who had been trained by himself, "Just use Thor's suggestion, the centaurs will attack a hundred miles of thunder and strike a blow, be sure to defeat this leopard man, GΓΌlen, you will lead the team, and Thor will assist you!" ”

"Yes," the two agreed in unison.

"But you must pay attention, according to the cavalry combat regulations I formulated, you must wait for the enemy's formation to be chaotic before charging, otherwise, you can only attack in the periphery with cavalry shooting!"

"Yes!" The two looked at each other, looking very excited and impatient.

"Okay, then let's go! Let's go! ”

The two of them immediately rushed out of the RV, and rushed forward with the sound of horses' hooves, and then the assembly posts of the centaur cavalry rang one after another far ahead, and the centaur cavalry and scouts, who were originally guarding the two wings of the army, gathered together in front of the whistle and shouting, and after a while, changed into a distant swarm of bees.
