One hundred and twenty-two chaos
The situation in which things developed caught the Military Control Council by some surprise.
The day after the army was dispatched, news came back from Vansel, next door to the city of Barna.
The military governor and city lord of the Tiger clan was killed by the mob in the city lord's mansion, and hundreds of filthy orcs in the city lord's mansion were killed in battle.
The city defense forces clashed with local residents during the search for suspects, and a major fight ensued. The usually arrogant city defense army was willing to suffer, and after calling for reinforcements, they killed some residents on the spot.
I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that overnight, the entire Vansell City exploded like a bomb, and countless lifeless mobs in the slums and slave areas poured into the streets, turning the tiger aristocratic district and the rich area in the center of the city into a sea of fire.
The city defense army that rushed in the confusion was wiped out by the absolute numerical superiority of the opponent, and then, it is said that it was the main culprit in the assassination of Fansell, a rhinoceros man named Niu Dali stood up and shouted, and the United Army of the Vansell Labor People was formed, firmly controlling the city of Fansell.
Barnal, who was keenly aware of the opportunity, took out a lot of money to communicate with Niu Dali, and as a result... As a result, the United Army of the Toiling Masses represented by Niu Dali did not hesitate to send troops to help the old fox flank the two legions of the Military Management Committee.
This battle was really not spectacular, but the subsequent development made the military management committee stunned on the spot.
On the second day after Niu Dali and the old fox flanked the troops of the Military Management Commission, this battle was like a fire that ignited the flames in the entire area controlled by the Military Management Commission.
The first to suffer is the tax collection special escort regiments in various places, although those are all elite soldiers who have been transformed by filthy elements, but the military management committee, which never thought of such a situation, only formed a team of 3,000 people, which people can't even bubble up in front of the turbulent and excited masses, even if the other party is holding dung forks and sticks.
However, the erosion of the situation is far more than that, who doesn't want to save their lives? In the troubled times, what should we do after the talisman is ineffective? Needless to say, hurry up and set an example.
As a result, some clever tax collectors took off their military uniforms, turned into themselves, and led the special escort group to join the wave of resistance against "tyranny and government", and some even exposed the fact that some of the city lords who led the masses in the rebellion were liars and confidants of the Military Control Commission.
So in just ten days, under the deliberate guidance of some people, there were battles between the cities, between the special escort regiments, between the henchmen of the Military Management Committee and others, and the corpses were all over the ground, and the already devastated land was once again full of mourning.
To the slight relief of the Military Management Council, perhaps due to the lack of logistical supplies in Quisas, the four main legions of the Tiger King Army have been guarding near the demarcation line since they went south, and have not made further moves, which also gives them enough time to deal with the mess in their own territory.
But what about the facts?
Istrlaus has long been mixed in the area controlled by the Military Control Commission, operating in various capacities. And her activities are the main reason for accelerating the growth of this small fire.
The composition of the Tiger King's army was originally a simple orc, relying on the combat skills and tactical ideas trained in the Quezas system, Eastlaus abandoned the method of frontal combat, and instead...
Faced with a city controlled by the Governor's henchmen, Eastlaus and her Flying Tigers disguised as Commanders reinforcements, usually resorting to decapitation tactics after opening the gates, that is, taking out the inner circle of management in the city.
This kind of thing is still quite easy to do with the support of the intelligence of the Nine Divisions. Names, portraits, hobbies, possible locations, everything, in Moon's words, a lot of the time, whether it's making money or fighting wars, why can't you play with others, because people know what you don't know.
Here I have to mention the Grand Lord of the Rabbit Leader of Quisas, the Chief of the Special Operations Section of MI9, Xiaobai, also known as the rabbit head. (Attention, not a bunny head to eat!)
Xiaobai and Eastlaus have not gotten along well, and the reason for this is probably the fact that the Tiger Clan kept the rabbit people in captivity, although she knew that it was not Eastlaus who did it, and it had nothing to do with her.
But in Xiaobai's simple cognition, it was the military management committee appointed and promoted by Eastlaus, she didn't know anyone, she deserved to be imprisoned, and the blood on the hands of the Tiger Clan was inseparable from her Eastlaus.
In a sense, Eastlaus really thinks that what Xiaobai said makes sense, it is impossible to atone for sins with death, so only get along in this way, fortunately, Xiaobai distinguishes between public and private, and there has never been a mistake in intelligence.
Relying on the intelligence of the Nine Divisions, it is not difficult for the Istellus and the Flying Tigers to decapitate them, and cities without core management will often approach the riots under the guidance of the Nine Divisions.
As for people disguised as the MCC attacking supposedly neutral cities, it is normal for people disguised as a mob to attack other cities and the MCC at the same time.
The only thing that made Istlaus treat differently was probably the so-called special escort regiment. She usually kills these people and then gathers the members together to eliminate them, and she wants to test the reaction of the Filthy Elemental for Moon.
For a time, the entire southern area was in chaos, and all the cities and families were fighting on their own, and the cities A and B, who had agreed to jointly deal with C the day before, actually fought first when they met.
When they met, they fought three hundred rounds first, and the two waves of troops with thousands of casualties each looked at each other, looked at each other without saying a word, only a thousand tears. Because the two sides are in a gang.
It is not uncommon for several families fighting in it for the ownerless city to be put to the end of the pot.
After a battle, Istlaus was asked a question, "Are you not guilty that they are all orcs, all children of Fury, and they are killing each other under your leadership?"
"Nope. ”
"Because you've betrayed the orcs and made yourself a lackey of Quezas?"
"I informed them of the rebellion of the Military Control Council and gave them time and choice. I have begged and hoped, and I have sent people to help them escape. In that case, those who remain here are those who do not approve of me, or who are enemies of me. ”
"Excuses! These are excuses! You're an executioner!
"Hmm. Anything is good. I don't need to argue, I don't need to understand. ”
"How does it feel to have your hands stained with the blood of your kind, the blood of the orcs?"
"To be honest, it's pretty bland. "Istlaus turned away," said my lord, 'There is no shortage of cannibalism in any world.'" ’”
In two months, just two months, everything was out of the control of the MCC, and hundreds of thousands of people died for all sorts of reasons. By the time the MCC became aware of the existence of Istlaos and MI9, the situation was already irreparable.
The main army was almost all dragged in endless melee, and the Filthy Elemental shifted its strategic objectives and attacked the Water Elemental with all its might because of Neptron, so that the Filthy Orcs in the hands of the Military Management Council had no way to replenish it, and there was no follow-up support.
And all this, what did the Tiger King Army pay? It was probably the consumption of food and straw from the four legions watching the drama at the border, and the battle losses of the Flying Tigers...
The Military Management Commission is a little puzzled, how did the situation collapse so completely all of a sudden, and when did it begin to collapse?
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is mainly based on the Tiger Clan, supplemented by elites of various ethnic groups, and since it can be recognized by Eastlaus, it will not be stupid to die. It is precisely because they are not stupid and unwilling to live under others that they have the idea of imprisoning Eastlaus and seizing power and put it into action.
I just never expected...
"I never thought of it. "The High Priestess of the Fox Clan, Ford Hui, stood on a cliff in the Tiger Ridge, looking out over the city of Babula, which had once again fallen into flames, and there was not a single enemy within a radius of five kilometers around the city, but once again, he was burning inside.
"What is the High Priest feeling?" a Tiger Clan, who looked more like a martial artist, stood aside and asked.
"How did the situation get to this point?"
"Perhaps, it was a mistake for us to try to rely on external forces in the first place. Now that the external forces are withdrawn, there is nothing we can do to deal with it. ”
Ford sighed and turned to look at the other man, "I don't think I should have counted Moon Black in the first place. ”
"Oh?"
"If it weren't for him, how could he find out the secret of eating rabbits later, and then all kinds of things aside, just one person who wouldn't be saved by him rescued Eastlaus was enough. Without the tigress's popularity, any tiger king army is a joke. That woman can unite a lot of people's hearts. ”
"So, the High Priest regretted it?"
"Indeed, I regret it a little. ”
"Why?"
"Because now the situation is not as we expected. ”
"Hey, it's really, helpless. The Tiger Clan sighed as well.
"It's up to man. The coalition of nobles in Black Yao was actually resisted by the Stormwind Leader and Darnassus, and it seems that the old guys in the council have been prepared for a long time. Ford looked at the bottom of the hill again, his eyes twinkling.
"The decline in Neptron's strength has led to a desperate gamble on the Filthy Element. Naga was dragged to Lake Calbe, unable to move, and the blood clan and the succubus fought inextricably, and the succubus seemed to have a crush on the dark elves. The demon race is now also suffering from internal and external troubles. You can see a shadow of all this. ”
"You mean...?"
"Heh, a former piece of waste. ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Abandon the Military Management Commission. ”
"Indeed... Nothing to use. It's just a bit of a pity. ”
"There's no pity, though I don't know why he wants Fury, so let's just not get his wish. ”
"It's fine. ”
Ford Hui leaned over and disappeared into the night with the Tiger Clan.
In the 10**** year of the imperial calendar, the 15th day of the third month of winter (dark moon). At the junction of the Tiger King Army and the Tiger Rebels, Eastlaus stood on the parade platform and was full of emotion for a while.
Forty thousand people stared at her with burning eyes, not only because she was Eastlaus, but also because in just two months, she almost single-handedly turned the south upside down, and now, she had the opportunity to go straight to the tiger mountain in one fell swoop.
If the traditional siege-defense battle is followed, the Tiger King's army needs to take all the cities between the stronghold and the Tiger Ridge one by one. Missing any of them could be a nuisance that threatens the supply lines.
Only now, the Tiger King's army is no longer facing strong cities, rebels, and slightly dissatisfied but depressed people. The Tiger King's army has to face burning cities, terrified rebels, and "mobs" hungry for support and help.
At this time, the old-school orc nobles were particularly touched, and when Eastlaus led all the main forces of the Tiger King's army to set off, she told them that she was going to regain Tiger Ridge, and everyone thought she was crazy.
How can 40,000 people, or just 40,000 people, conquer nearly 400,000 square kilometers of land? But the slap in the face came too quickly, like a tornado. In just two months, she didn't even use 40,000 people...
There is no doubt that the southern part of the mess will bow down when the Tiger King's army passes.
She, Eastlaus, is the commander of these 40,000 men, the commander of the Tiger King's army, the king who leads them to restore the glory of the orcs.
And what Istellus himself lamented was not the situation in front of him. It was the commander-in-chief of the Guards, Gu Wu Fengyu, who single-handedly planned such a scene, and Heidi, the general staff officer.
Another thing that made Istlaus feel was the battle report that had just been transferred to her through nine places this morning: the 1st Legion of the Quezas Guards, in coordination with the 3rd Legion, had captured Saloma and approached Womar.
Where is Saloma?When Husbet was still there, the city of the Leon Clan's stronghold. That's when Moon was on the task of turning into a butterfly, and he rode the bipedal wyvern to the boarding and landing point of Olg. It's Olg in the back!
Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, Bone Dance Wind Whisper, Istlaus initially thought that she was just on Moon's thigh, and she could fight a little, but as the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, she was still not very qualified, but now...
Although the Third Army was gradually replenishing its strength, it had not yet reached the full strength of 25,000.
Two months... With two legions of less than 50,000 men, she broke through the five defensive lines of the government army, advanced nearly half a distance of Fury, and forced Olg. Eastlaus asked himself if he couldn't do it, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
It's just that the battle report of the nine places is too brief, only the approximate time and result, which makes Istlaus very anxious, and she can't wait to end the in front of her, run to Womar and ask the taciturn woman how she did it.
Two months ago, Copperwalled City. The time was nine days after Istrlaus left.
Esquik received that Eastlaus had been driven out of Copperwall, and spent a day mobilizing troops, arranging tasks, and three days on the road, and finally appeared northeast outside Copperwall on the ninth day after the tigress left.
Along the way, Ersquik kept in touch with the Eagle Scouts, and from the information they sent back, the other party was very strict about flying reconnaissance, and many of the Scouts died from the opponent's magic tracking arrows.
This is not good news for Ersquik, and it is certainly not bad news. The lack of information is naturally a little annoying, but the previous information was enough, that is, there were only about 10,000 people in the city. The good news is that the other side attaches so much importance to counterreconnaissance because it does not want to expose the lack of troops! This confirms the news that the guards are retreating in batches.
Looking at the brightly armored dark elves on the walls of the Bronze Walled City, Ersquik sneered. Furious Flame is not strong in magic power, yes, your dark elves are just a few people on the territory of Furious Flames, how can you be isolated and strong? Lao Tzu's more than 20,000 brave and warlike Minotaur warriors, as long as they rush to the city, the fragile dark elves are not just one totem to smash three?
It's just that... Why do the dark elves on the city wall not seem to be panicked at all? Is there a cat? The location of the bronze wall city is quite special, it is backed by the Nar River at most three sides, and the only way to quickly rush from the stronghold of the mountain tribe to the city is to go to the northeast plain.
Slightly hesitant, Ersquik first sent a small force of 2,000 to make a tentative attack, and sure enough, the seemingly windless and waveless flat was quite dangerous, and all kinds of deep pits and trenches annoyed the Minotaur warriors.
Some of the trenches are not deep, but if they fall into them, they will trigger a pre-set magic explosion or crossbow mechanism, and 2,000 people can rush out of the range of the Dark Elf bow and arrow, that is, 800 meters before they are killed or injured.
Osquik sneered, the cunning dark elves will play some tricks. Trap? That thing is not a reusable resource, Lao Tzu just fills it with human life, and it can be filled!
The second group of 2,000 people set off again along the path of their former comrades, and this time they encountered much less resistance, and the occasional trigger trap only caused one or two hundred casualties. More than 1,700 people rushed within range of the dark elves.
The mountain minotaurs dressed in leather armor and wooden armor are still admirable, and more than 500 people still rushed to the city of Bronze Wall City despite the rain of arrows in the sky. Ersquik, who had no hope for them at all, only gave them the order to charge, but did not let them bring any siege tools.
Feeling the strange eyes of his subordinates around him, Ersquik knew that he couldn't be tempted anymore at this time, and if he continued to be tempted like this, he would be secretly killed by his subordinates. Anyway, the so-called traps are almost detected, and they rush along the probed road.
And... An Eagle Scout who had been lucky enough to survive told him that the Dark Elves were piling up supplies in the city, apparently preparing to burn them down!
So Ersquik gave the order, and the 10,000 well-prepared Minotaur warriors howled and charged. There is no need for a siege vehicle, and the two of them can be used as siege vehicles with huge logs on their shoulders.
There are more than 10,000 heads, and the mountains are all over the wilderness.
It's just that Usquik didn't expect that those cunning dark elves were really hateful. Some of the traps are not triggered by touch, but are artificially controlled! They deliberately wait until the tough Minotaur warriors take it lightly!
It's just that... I don't know if the dark elves underestimated the minotaur, how could that small puddle of water stop the footsteps of his men, even if there was some sticky black liquid in it.
Blocked by a small trap, the Minotaur of the Mountain Ridge tribe entered the range of the opponent's bow and arrow in batches, and the warriors stained with a little vinyl gradually landed in the center of the group.
The minotaur in the front row was still wondering, why was there no sound of bows and arrows nailing on the wooden shield? The arrows of the dark elves are not separated from those warriors who are stained with black liquid, and they are all magic arrows with fire attributes!
Nearly a thousand strong minotaurs turned into burning roast oxen, rushing the siege team into a mess. Some of them could not bear the suffering of their companions, and wanted to help them extinguish the fire on their bodies, but instead sent themselves back to the arms of their ancestors.
Although there were not many people who were burned to death, it was still too demoralizing for the mountain tribes, as if... Everything is under the control of others, and he is just a clown who jumps off the beam.
It's just that the military order is in hand, how can the soldiers who rushed in front turn back, they can only use their flesh and wooden shields to advance against the rain of arrows that burst in. The size of the minotaur is not something that a wooden shield can stop?
The distance of 800 to 500 meters outside the city wall can really be called the death zone, and nearly 1,000 minotaurs died on the way to the charge. The one who was protecting his head couldn't protect his legs, and after the continuous arrows on his legs fell to the ground, what was waiting for them was more feather arrows coming at them.
Although the battle damage is not large, the momentum is low, in the final analysis, the mountain tribe is not a complete war group, and they suffer a lot as an attacker in the siege of a single army.
When Ersquik himself led the army to press, he was surprised that all the dark elves in the city were gone. Suspecting that it was a trap, he hurriedly ordered the army to advance cautiously, gradually testing whether there were any other traps on the way.
And the previous group of 10,000 soldiers, some of whom were bold, had already rushed to the city and began to smash the door with the logs in their hands. Just let him beat, there was no more movement in the city, this is a very strange picture, like suddenly becoming the siege training of the mountain tribe.
After the army had advanced cautiously for a while, it could no longer resist the temptation, and once again raised its speed to rush forward, and the destruction of the city gate was unusually smooth.
It was only when Ersquik entered the city that he saw the vanguard officer with a somewhat unnatural face that he realized that the cunning dark elves had escaped through the back door!
Ersquik thinks he's probably been in trouble with the Dark Elves all his life, these guys are so disgusting, and if they don't fight you head-on, you still have to run!
Fortunately, there was a piece of news that made Ersquik a lot happier, that is, there were still a lot of supplies and food in the city, and it seemed that the dark elves had not had time to take them away or destroy them. Why? Because some of the supplies had already been poured with the black liquid by them! It seemed that they came too quickly, and the other party didn't have time to burn them, so they stayed on the premise of saving their lives?
Esquik entered the Bronze Wall City at noon on the same day, and after counting the supplies, he found that although there was a lot of food, it was not a lot, which was enough for more than 20,000 people to consume for six days.
And at this time, there was another piece of news that made him upset. That was Simba's government army, which sent representatives and troops to escort supplies, just five kilometers outside the city. In the name of escorting food and supporting Ersquik, Ersquik knows that this is clearly here to rob it!
Grab the Bronze Wall City! The Dark Elves dragged him and the mountain tribe all morning with a trap and a few archers, I really think this city is easy to take? Bronze Wall City, the city is high and the walls are thick, it is not uncommon for people to be dark elves, why do people fight hard to guard this orc's things? And... Maybe it was deliberate, in order to justifiably cut off the retreat of the Tiger King Army.
It was very difficult to really fight hard, but Ersquik was able to bring all the troops out, which shows how determined he was.
Now, it's good that the bastards of the government army are following his ass, waiting to pick up ready-made. Escort food? Escort food 30,000 people? Isn't he trying to get rid of the control of the government army? If he lets the government army enter the city, then what is he trying to do?
But on the other hand, there is not much food in the city, and it is not enough to support him to let the birds fly high in the sky, and stay up until he ploughs the copper wall and waits for the strategic purpose of harvesting, so it is better to... Bring in the people of the government army, and then, catch the turtle in the urn?
