Chapter 155: Antonio
The Principality of Oz, the front line of the battlefield of man and beast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe only eight remaining cities are not separated by a hundred miles like the Northern Wilderness, and the two cities are only thirty miles apart at most, and the Bright Empire has been operating for an unknown number of years, constantly transforming the terrain between the cities, and as soon as the war broke out, it was connected into a line of defense through continuous fortifications and military camps.
In the past few days, no large-scale clashes have broken out between humans and beasts, but battles with less than 100,000 men have occurred almost all the time.
The Marshal's Mansion in the City of Green Fields was temporarily requisitioned by Antonio, the generalissimo of the Bright Empire, the commander of the coalition forces, and he was listening to several of his subordinate staff officers report on yesterday's battle report.
"Marshal, there were a total of seventeen battles yesterday, of which 10,000 people were 1 time, 1,000 people were 13 times, and 100 people were three times, more than 36,400 soldiers of our human race died, more than 7,800 people were seriously injured, and it is estimated that more than 5,000 orcs were killed, most of them were low-level races such as rats and kobolds, and there were less than 100 people in the six major races. ”
The scale here is calculated by the number of orcs who attack, even if they occupy the geographical advantage of cities and fortifications, the ratio of station losses is close to ten to one, and the reason why the losses of the six major races are lower is more because the number of people participating in the battle is not much, and those who appear on the battlefield are all commanding low-level orc races to fight.
And among the six major races, except for the werewolves, the individual combat power is very strong, and the strength of the werewolves is in cavalry combat, and because they are not good at attacking cities, they have not participated in the battle for the time being, and the elite soldiers in the human race who can compete with the six major races have not been put into the battlefield for the time being, and since the outbreak of the war, the losses of the six major races have not been much.
"Those incompetent guys, the orcs have not yet attacked with all their might, and they have such huge losses. Antonio muttered, he meant the incompetent guys from other countries, most of the soldiers who died at the hands of the orcs these days were from their own countries, when the orcs attacked, the situation was clear and fine, once frustrated, it would suddenly be in chaos, which led to heavy losses.
It is not a problem to scold those soldiers of other countries in front of Antonio, and the staff officers dare not agree, even if they think so in their hearts, they can only stand there silently, pretending not to hear Antonio's words.
"By the way, how is the army of the Northern Chu Kingdom?" Antonio suddenly raised his head and asked, the Northern Chu Kingdom is in the second echelon among the many countries in the Dusk Continent, and its strength is second only to the Bright Empire, although there are several gaps between the Northern Chu Kingdoms.
"They are stationed in the easternmost Poplar City, where in addition to our legion of 200,000 soldiers, there are also the armies of the Northern Chu Kingdom and several small countries with a total of more than one million, the orcs launched several battles of 10,000 people a few days ago, all of which were easily blocked, and the losses of the coalition army are not large, among which the Northern Chu Kingdom plays a big role. One of the staff officers flipped through the information in his hand and found the information of the army of the Northern Chu Kingdom.
"Does it just play a big role? Hmph, don't hide it. Antonio was dissatisfied.
The staff officer's face changed instantly, in the battle of Poplar City, the army of the Bright Empire did not perform well, but thanks to the army of Northern Chu, it was able to suffer lower losses when resisting the attack of the orcs. "Thanks to the commander-in-chief of the army of the Northern Chu Kingdom, the orcs have no chance to break through a line of defense. "He still saved some face for the Bright Empire army in Poplar City.
In the Green City, with Antonio in charge, Poplar City is relatively far away, and the armies of the Bright Empire are equipped with uncles, and let the armies of other countries be responsible for defending the city for a long time, and they will be lazy.
"If memory serves, their commander is undefeated, and it's normal with that little guy's ability. "Antonio looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, but he is actually in his seventies, but he looks young because of his cultivation. Undefeated less than forty, when Antonio was famous on the mainland, he was not born yet, and it makes sense to describe him as a little guy who is undefeated.
The Northern Chu Kingdom is the last country ruled by the Chinese, and the Bright Empire is the backbone representative of the power of the gods, the relationship between the two countries has always been not harmonious, and the core task of the undefeated Southern Legion is to prevent the Bright Empire, so as the opponent, the Bright Empire knows very well about winning and undefeated, and Antonio naturally knows his ability.
"In this case, send an order to Poplar City, and let the undefeated commander be in charge of commanding the army, including the 200,000 troops of our country, to obey his command. Antonio issued an order that stunned all the staff officers, knowing the arrogance of his country's army, and emphasized: "If there is disobedience, it will be dealt with by military law." ”
No one dared to disobey Antonio's order, and the staff officers began to write official orders and at the same time secretly thought to themselves, looking at the attitude of the marshal, it was not like a joke, once they disobeyed, they would definitely be punished heavily, and it seemed that they should give a good account to their colleagues in Poplar City.
"If there's nothing to do, you can go down, remember to arrange, Ben Shuai will go to patrol tonight. Antonio commanded that the Terran soldiers have poor eyesight at night, and the orcs have a special constitution and have little impact, so it is more dangerous at night than during the day.
This problem is not a problem for the Songhai City army, not to mention that each of them is above the first level of strength, that is, the usual food mix is reasonable, and it is almost not bothered by night blindness.
Poplar City is located in the easternmost position among the remaining eight cities of the Principality of Oz, more than seventy miles away from the Gourd of Oz, although the road during this period is not as good as the cement road of Songhai City, but it is also flat and wide, and the cavalry who ordered it is quick to whip up, but it takes two hours to arrive at Poplar City.
"Why do you want us to listen to the command of outsiders, I don't accept it, I want to go to the commander and beg him to take back his order. "Eugene, the commander of the 200,000 Bright Empire troops in Poplar City, was dissatisfied with the order and clamored for Antonio to take back his order.
"I advise you to dispel this thought, follow the orders of the commander, and obey the command of the invincible general. "It's just that he was afraid that the transmission of orders would be blocked, a staff officer personally rushed to Poplar City, as a close staff officer by Antonio's side, his position was not as good as Eugene, but his status was not much weaker, and he was not afraid of Eugene at all.
If someone else came to give the order, and dared to talk to him like this, Eugene would definitely teach him a lesson, "I'm just not convinced." ”
"The marshal has moved his character this time, and if you disobey the order, the general will definitely be dealt with by military law. The staff told Antonio the truth about his displeasure, and Eugene had to compromise.
Win Undefeated was only surprised after knowing the order, and gladly accepted it, anyway, now in addition to the army of the Bright Empire, the other troops in Poplar City have actually been under his command for a long time, and the biggest advantage of this order is that he no longer has to worry about the people of the Bright Empire dragging his feet.
Win Undefeated declined the proposal to move into the City Lord's Mansion occupied by Eugene, and didn't pay much attention to the army of the Bright Empire, and they were not needed for the time being, rather than offending people normally, it was better to command them to fight at a critical time.
