For three days in a row, the black barbarians adopted the advice of the staff of the Byron Empire, advanced layer by layer, and fought steadily, and Ortronburg was surrounded layer by layer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info looked at the cities that could fall at any time, whether it was the chiefs of those tribes or Charles the Lionheart, they were extremely satisfied with the current course of the war. Almost 140,000 men besieged Ortlenburg, more than half the number expected, and the fall of Ortlenburg was only a matter of time.

Looking at the swarthy city walls, Charlie the Lionheart had an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

During the reign of Orlando V, the Orlando Empire experienced a nationwide civil strife, and the aristocratic group raised a clear banner against the golden aristocracy led by the Orlando family, and thus unveiled a war that almost shook the foundation of the Orlando Empire. At that time, the lord of the Byron Empire only hesitated for a few days and missed the opportunity, which eventually led to a confrontation between the two sides here for a while and then a fight, and they returned in embarrassment.

It can be said that Ortlenburg was built quickly under the pressure of the Byron Empire, and if there was no confrontation, there would be no such city, let alone today's war.

Just as he looked into the distance, the sound of footsteps behind him stirred his mind, and he turned slightly sideways to look back, the huge lion head suffocated the people behind him, and it took a while to remember his mission.

"Lord Charlie, the food delivery team has been plundered by those hateful Desi fleas again......", this man was a little flustered, this errand was not a good thing in the first place, and it was easy to be affected by the anger of the big people. He was so frightened at this time that he lowered his head and did not dare to look up at the lion's head in front of him.

Charlie was stunned, and his erected pupils contracted slightly. This is the seventh time in the past two days that the logistics team has been looted. Just as Thor had predicted from the beginning, the more people the black barbarians participated in the war, the heavier the logistical pressure became, and without the logistics support of the system, it was impossible to support this black barbarian army with 200,000 soldiers. There is no more prey to hunt in the forests of the Salme Mountains, near the Bell Meadows, and the hunter team in search of prey must go deep into the jungle to get enough prey and food. They may not feel it yet, but it won't be long before they understand that such a large-scale exterminating hunt has brought destruction to themselves.

The prey in the mountains and forests is never a herd of cattle and sheep, and basically a few truckloads will be sent to the front line. On such an extremely important transportation line, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of mercenaries active. Rather than confronting the barbarian armies head-on, it was obviously easier to harass the supply lines and gain more merit. The constant harassment has made the black barbarian logistics team miserable, and the more people in charge of escorting, the fewer people who hunt. There are fewer escorts, and these Desi mercenaries will come to loot again.

Seven teams have lost news in two days, and more than a dozen teams have arrived later than scheduled. These harassments and abuses may seem to have little impact on the course of the war as a whole, but in fact they are extremely deadly. The food carried by the black barbarian army has almost been used up, and the rest can only rely on logistical supplies. This is also why only 120,000 of the 170,000 black barbarian army Chen soldiers outside the city of Ortronburg, and the remaining 50,000 people have become a logistics army to hunt and transport food.

Each person had to hunt five people a day for food to support the Pillar Army's food consumption, which was definitely a terrifying and desperate number.

"The safety of the supply lines must be ensured by arranging for people to sweep the supply lines. Charlie the Lionheart is not the leader of the coalition, but the chiefs recognize his wisdom and ability, and unless it is a particularly important matter, the chiefs rarely interfere in these seemingly complicated matters. "Go and tell the Great Chiefs, let them discuss, assign 20,000 men to be in charge of patrolling, and there must be no problems with our supply lines. ”

The black barbarian immediately bent over and turned around and ran to give Charlie the order, Charlie also had a special headache, the combat effectiveness of this group of black barbarians was okay, but their education level really made him feel a headache. Due to the lack of systematic knowledge, many ordinary orders need to be carefully explained by him, and they are not even as efficient as the teams of farmers, let alone fighting the Desi on the opposite side. The only thing that deserves praise for these black barbarians is their individual quality and combat effectiveness. But the problem is that war is never a one-person game, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't do what a group of people can do.

At first, I took it for granted, but I didn't expect that when these black-barbarians who looked very powerful formed an army, they would behave so poorly, far less powerful than he had inferred. I'm afraid that's all it takes. Charlie glanced at the dog-like black barbarians not far away, and his eyes were full of a mocking mockery, such a race actually wants to contaminate ......the whole of Orlando?

He naturally knew that these big chiefs were blinded by the powerful combat power of the black barbarians on the surface at this time, thinking that they could conquer the Orlando Empire with the black barbarians alone. They don't want to think about how they can crisscross a land of thousands of kilometers in diameter without cavalry?

The Lionheart was watching Ortlenburg, and there were people in Ortrenburg watching them.

The black barbarian army that was approaching and began to friction made Wren have to devote more energy to observe the other party, and Thor had absolutely no problem with strategy and tactics, at least from his point of view, he couldn't find any obvious problems. The mercenary corps operating outside the country constantly harassed and invaded the other party's supply lines, and as the black barbarian army approached, their supply lines became longer and longer, and the mercenaries' results were very remarkable. But even with such a guarantee, Wren still can't completely put his mind at ease, after all, this is a big war, a war in which more than 250,000 people have been invested on both sides, and the number of his own troops is obviously inferior to that of the other side.

Standing at the top of the wall, the flag above his head hunted in the wind blowing from the plains, looking at the black barbarians in the distance, it was like standing on the seashore and looking at the reef that disappeared from time to time. Thor stood by Wren's side, and Blair protected Wren with a long sword.

Compared to the seriousness on Wren's face, Thor was obviously much more relaxed.

After several minor frictions, the troops supporting Ortrenburg from all sides became honest, and most of them accepted the unified command of Ortrenburg and began to obey the arrangement. A small group of cavalry is naturally to deliver food to the other side, but a cavalry team of tens of thousands is enough to form a huge combat power to destroy the opponent's defense line. The reason why there has been no large-scale fighting between the two sides so far is that this is a tactic used by Thor to achieve the maximum result with the lowest losses in order to reduce his own losses.

Although you won't necessarily lose if you fight hard, you will definitely win very badly, so it's better to wait for the other party to collapse first and then go out to harvest.

Otherwise, just two ballistas and a power grid generator would be enough to cry wolf and howl at the black barbarian ghost in the front!

"Beasts that walk upright, and even if they are armed, they are just beasts that have taken up arms. The contempt in Saul's tone couldn't be hidden at all, and he didn't even have much pre-war excitement in the face of these black barbarians who didn't have the slightest chance of winning. "Lord of the city, in five days at most, they will have a riot. ”

"Oh?", Wren looked at Thor with some surprise, "Why do you say that?"

Thor smiled slyly, "Because they will run out of food in two days at most." He pointed to the camp of the black barbarian army that was as black as a dark cloud, and those black barbarians were not like the army of the Desi, which was orderly with the camp as a whole, but was "piled up" together. The weather was so hot, and there were no woods around Ortlenburg that could not be used for local materials, so these black barbarians used the ground as their beds, or sat together or lay on the ground, which looked very funny.

"During this time, we can let the black barbarians get a little closer, so that the ballista and the power grid generator can be more lethal. When the time comes, first destroy the opponent's will to resist, and then the 10,000 knight cluster will directly tear the opponent's formation from it, divide these black barbarians into three parts, and the infantry will come out together, and the war will be over in three days at most. ”

Let's hope for it!

After a few days of calm, the situation suddenly became faster, and the black barbarians attacked the city several times without success. This sudden change confirmed Saul's guess from the side, and the black man was short of food.

The lack of food is partly due to the harassment of supply lines by mercenaries, but more often than not, the climate has been too hot this summer, and it has been unusually hot. The fruits and stems were fine, and they were packed in baskets made of grass and rattan and covered with fresh blades of grass, and when they were transported to the front, they were a little shriveled but at least edible. On the contrary, meat occupies a large part of the black man's diet, and because of the hot weather, it is often slaughtered in the morning, and it begins to stink in the evening, and rots and spoils the next day.

Without rivers and streams from the Salme Mountains to Ortlenburg, there is no water to cool and keep them fresh, and the black barbarians on the front line are not replenished with meat products. It's like a Chinese on the planet, who can occasionally skip the staple food for a few meals and only eat vegetarian dishes. But if you can't even eat leftovers at once, it will kill you.

The black barbarians, who could not get meat supplements and could not eat enough, began to get agitated, and the lack of fruit stems and masses already showed signs of chaos, which had to make the black barbarians speed up the war.
