Do we need artillery? Zhang Quan began to think about this issue seriously, and after learning that the elven side might have a heavy weapon cluster such as a terrifying war magic plant, he began to doubt the power of his line to shoot the phalanx. Anyone who knows a certain amount about the modern military history of the earth must know that artillery is the end of the ancient dense phalanx queue, and the combination of cavalry and artillery is enough to crush everything with the existence of a similar phalanx, which is what Napoleon did in the modern history of Europe.

If the war magic plant cluster in the legend of the elves can really play the same devastating effect as the modern artillery cluster, Zhang Quan has to admit that the base mountain orc military system he has established is really difficult to compete, and he must at least get a powerful long-range weapon, that is, artillery.

But modern artillery, Zhang Quan is really hard to get, not only are weapons rare, but it is also difficult for him to ensure safe access to this channel power in modern times, and even if he gets it, can this group of orcs in the Gaia world really learn to manipulate it in a short time? The manipulation of artillery is not as good as that of muskets, and the training of artillery is not so simple, and it is obviously not very reliable to get a team of orc artillery in a short time.

He didn't know when the specific elven invasion started and how big the invasion was, but from the mouth of the elf Lena who had already eaten in his mouth, he already knew that the news of this elven invasion was true, and these two elves appeared in the wasteland, and they were indeed used as spies.

It won't be too long for him to prepare.

Then, it occurred to him that in previous history, the orcs, who lacked heavy weapons, had defeated the invasion of the elves.

……

"Patriarch Otilus, I still have a lot of respect for you, although I don't appreciate your means of doing things, but I still agree with your ideals, you have also seen that the base mountain tribe is also engaged in agriculture and planting on this land, and we continue to do what you leopard people have not done."

In the city of Walter, a room made of huge concrete wood, the multi-flowered Otiluus was fastened to the wall with iron chains, and less than five feet in front of him was placed a square stool, on which Zhang Quan, the current owner of Walter City, sat proudly.

He asked Otilus:

"Because of you, the strength of the Leopard Alliance has been greatly reduced, and now the elves are about to invade, I'm afraid only our base mountain can stop them, you say, in such a crisis, as a sinner of all the orc races in the wasteland, shouldn't you think about making up for it?"

Zhang Quan's words are very skillful, he knows the weakness of people like Odiluus, and the idealist always puts the interests of the group more important than his own interests, and it is only appropriate to use this reason to impress such people. However, the so-called because of Otilus, this statement is actually a stealing concept, this time the leopard people are in civil strife, the base mountain took advantage of the situation to go south, and the defeat of the leopard people made the leopard people suffer losses Isn't it their base mountain, this point Zhang Quan will of course never mention.

Otilus raised his head and glanced at him weakly, and then quickly lowered his head, a figure like him is in the base mountain, and everyone has no other thoughts about him as a prisoner, because he is worried about his superior force, and has always controlled his physical strength below the cordon that can cause danger, although there is no punishment such as whipping, but life is by no means easy.

Zhang Quan is by no means the kind of stupid good person.

"The elves are coming? Er, it seems to be true......" After a pause, he continued, "What do you want to ask?" Go ahead! ”

"But I can't promise an answer." He continued weakly.

Zhang Quan smiled, not feeling embarrassed by such a conversation scene, and Odilus's reaction was quite satisfactory to him, he lowered his voice and asked quietly:

"You leopard people have been fighting against the elves on the border for so long, you must have some experience, and now we are also going to the battlefield of the elven invading army, but my subordinates have no experience in fighting the elves, you say, we orcs have to deal with the large war weapons that the elves have, what are the methods."

Oterius looked up at him again, as if in some astonishment, and said:

"You really feel a little strange to me as a human, not like an ordinary human businessman, you talk like this, as if you are really an orc standing among us. This is definitely not a habit that a southern human should have. ”

Oh? Yes, this guy is keen, Zhang Quan hurriedly changed the topic and replied,

"Does it matter whether I'm an orc or a human? It is important for the orcs to resist the invasion of the elves, and in this position, I think that I and you, including my tribe, we should all be on the side of the orcs. "This leopard man, who is said to have been trained in the human world, is really not ordinary, and he senses his strangeness so quickly.

Otrius thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, as if he had let go of something,

"On the orc's side, huh?" He had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Humans are really good at talking, but does it make sense to me which side you're on?" What about orcs, what about humans, I'm a prisoner now, what else do I have to worry about? ”

"Yes." Zhang Quan was not affected by Otellus's words, "At this moment when the orc wasteland is about to be invaded by the elves, no orcs are useless, any orc should stand up and serve the survival of the race, this force, no matter how big or small, no matter how much, is the inevitable choice of every orc, this is where the national righteousness lies, you should not let me down!" ”

Otellus hung his head, obviously touched by what Zhang Quan had just said, and although he had encountered ups and downs, he was indeed a fanatical idealist, and this would not change. He bowed his head and thought for a long time before he spoke:

"Alright! I believe you. Actually, now, I don't have anything to fool people about. ”

After another pause, under Zhang Quan's expectant gaze, he said:

"In fact, the elves have nothing to be afraid of, their weaknesses are obvious, the elves' large-scale war weapons are extremely expensive, they need a lot of magic crystal and magic core resources, and they need a large number of high-quality magicians and clergy.

"No sustainability?" Zhang Quan keenly noticed this, is it the modern high-tech war model on the earth similar to that of the United States? Can't afford it because it's expensive? Something like the Demon Crystal Demon Core must be an extremely important strategic material in this world if you think about it, coupled with the need for high-quality magicians and clergy, it should indeed be very difficult to maintain such a war.

Otilus nodded, and continued,

"The total population of the elves is only a few million, and even if the Northern Elven Royal Court is mobilized, the troops will not exceed 50,000, they are not like us, all the people are soldiers. The army of the elves, most of whom are auxiliary, a war weapon needs a large number of elven population to wait, and also needs a large number of elite soldiers to protect, 50,000 elf troops, of which the really effective war weapons are only hundreds or thousands, and they must be divided into different battlefields for use.

So their power is not as great as you think. ”

This guy saw the anxiety in Zhang Quanmei's eyes,

"Most of the elves' war weapons are very cumbersome, the deployment time is very slow, and a lot of preparation work is still needed before the war, and they can't quickly form combat effectiveness, so the elves' war weapons troops have a huge shortcoming, that is, they lack on-the-spot adaptability!"

"And this is the strongest point of our orcs, our weapon is our body, we can attack at any time, we are extremely mobile, we are never fixed in one place, our wasteland is deep and vast, and there is no strategic place worthy of their key attack, in a battlefield environment like the wasteland, we can casually detour far, far away, far to ...... The elves simply can't guarantee their supply lines. ”

"The war between elves and orcs is never fought on a frontal battlefield, we orcs will only think about storming the front they have prepared when we are stupid, those grenade trees, ballistas or something, when they come, we run, and when they are gone, we will come back - they can't hit us at all, how can they attack us? The elves' ability to maneuver in war is far inferior to that of our orcs, and they can't even run for a month and a half for the distance we can maneuver in a day, and once their armies are transferred and gaps are opened between each other, then our chance will come, and so on...... You should know by now how we orcs defeated the elven invasion! ”

Zhang Quan nodded and said that he understood, grandma's, feelings, these guys are playing the same set when Soviet Russia was playing during World War II on the earth! The strong wall is clear, the strategy of great depth, this strategy, the orcs in the wasteland are naturally very suitable, and this weakness of the elves is indeed too obvious, enough for him to use on the battlefield. The advantages and disadvantages of these enemies and friends, if used well, can indeed become the winners and losers on the battlefield, no wonder the orcs can compete with the elves who sound so superior and advanced at first glance under such clumsy conditions.

"Moreover, in addition to all these shortcomings of the battlefield victory, the elves have one of the biggest weaknesses in the war, as long as there is this weakness, it means that the elves will never be able to sit in the position of the overlord of the continent, and the humans and we orcs know it, so even if the elves are magically skillful, no matter how powerful their war weapons are, the humans and orcs have never been afraid of them."

"Oh! What is the weakness? ”
