058: They touch people's hearts
Bradit Front, Military Conference Room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Rigila Mountains are the main transportation hub connecting the Western Theater and the Central Theater, and if it is lost here, the materials and personnel of the two western provinces will be seriously affected.
So, after the Empire emerged from Operation Tempest of the Orcs and regained its footing, plans began to make plans to retake the Riggilla Mountains, and this task was to be undertaken by the city of Bradit.
At this moment, in the city of Bradit, in addition to the original garrison, the military department has reallocated 20,000 soldiers, as well as the garrison of the original Rijera Mountain, with a total of more than 50,000 people, which is the highest military force that the military department can give before the follow-up troops arrive at the front line.
After receiving the order, Carlos sent his army out of the city as quickly as possible, trying to occupy strategic points one by one, and then slowly trying to recover the Riggilla Mountains.
However, at this time, the orcs had completed the overall control of the Riggilla Mountains, and all the commanding heights and strategic points were dispatched to deploy troops.
At this moment, there are a total of twenty-six offensive routes in the Riggilla Mountains, which are roughly divided into three theaters, one is the direction of the Moonlight Glade in the north, which occupies seven main roads, the other is the direction of the central Wind Ridge, which occupies four main roads, and the south occupies five main roads in the direction of the town of Stookart.
"Yodru, is there any progress on the Autumnwind Avenue?" Carlos asked Colonel Yodru, an offensive line in the direction of the Wind Ridge.
"Still no. Yodru frowned and said, "No matter how provocative they are, those orcs will not come down alive or dead, they occupy the high slopes on both sides and camp on both sides, there are many shamans, and the fortifications are abundant. ”
Since Carlos began to use troops against the Riggilla Mountains, he has tried every means to lure these orcs out of the camp, but the orcs who have always been simple-minded and will chase you all over the street if they scold you with two sentences, this time they have eaten the scales and are determined to defend them strictly.
After asking several other generals about the same situation, Carlos's brows furrowed even tighter, and he turned his eyes to Clerk Witt and asked, "Witt, what did the Imperial side say?"
According to the current situation, there is only one way to attack, but it is obviously impractical to take the Riggilla Mountains with only the current military strength, and after understanding the situation clearly, Carlos reported the matter to the military department.
"Yes, General. Witt nodded and replied: "The military headquarters asked us to hold our troops for now, and the reinforcements of the four provinces in the south are already being assembled." ”
The empire has a total of 27 provinces, each province maintains a certain scale of standing garrisons, although the combat effectiveness of these armies is not as good as the five directly subordinate legions of the empire, but there is always some training, the primary selection quota of the five directly subordinate legions, has always been recruited from this soldier, and sent to the army after intensive training.
Carlos tapped his index finger on the table, and finally announced: "In that case, then the generals will do their own duties, and make the fortifications first"
"Yes"
"Wit, you go and urge the intelligence department to send more scouts, and be sure to keep an eye on the orcs' every move. ”
"Yes, General. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Witt again, "By the way, is the Earl back?"
After the start of the war, Count Reis went to the imperial capital because he wanted to participate in the overall military deployment.
Although Carlos has a true inheritance of his father, he is still inferior to the Imperial Eagle, which ranks seventh on the list of Golden Rose Generals in terms of war experience and strategic vision.
If Count Lacey can return at this critical moment, it is difficult to guarantee that there is any way to break the current stalemate, even if it is also helpless against the current strict defense of the orcs, it will also be of great help to improve morale.
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Witt.
"Not yet, General. It's a pity that Wittur has a disappointing answer.
"yes, I see. Carlos nodded, and stood up to end the military meeting.
"Also... Checkmate. But at this moment, Witt suddenly spoke again: "The griffin knight sent out by the intelligence department has returned, and it has been confirmed that two weeks ago, the unusual troop build-up of the orcs in the Eternal Forest was indeed aimed at the Silver Soul Army. ”
"What?!" Zax was the first to get up, his voice thunderous: "How are they?"
Many of the members of this special swordsman army were not only from major command schools, but also some of them were the children of the families of the generals present.
At the beginning, it was mainly because of the shortage of troops and the inability to arrange this group of commanders, so it was specially formed.
Originally, I thought that I would hand it over to a Riyan swordsman to lead the team, and familiarize myself with the battlefield to improve my future, but I never thought that I would be left in the enemy's base camp on the way to the first expedition.
Since the news came back, their safety has affected the nerves of many people, but Carlos, who saw that his son was in the middle of the team, didn't say anything, so they naturally could only hold it in their hearts.
Especially two weeks ago, when the news came back from the front line that the orcs had fought an ambush on the south side of the Eternal Silence Forest, many people's hearts were hanging.
The deployment arrangements of the orcs for that battle had been passed back yesterday, and the generals present were all experienced and excellent generals, and they deeply understood what it meant to be caught in that kind of encirclement.
For a while, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Witt, including Carlos, who did not speak, and the entire venue was silent for a while.
"They... They..."
I don't know if it's too much pressure or deliberately to hang people's appetites, Witt stuttered twice in succession, and just when Zax couldn't help but go up and shoot him, he hurriedly said, "Escape, escape." ”
It was clearly visible that the frowning brows of each general were soothed at this moment, and even Carlos let out a long sigh of relief that was imperceptible.
"Haha! I knew these boys weren't going to end up so easily!, worthy of being my students!" Zax, who had an informal personality, couldn't help but laugh.
Many generals shook their heads when they heard this.
If it weren't for you stupid, they would be so miserable? Do you have the ability to lose all your soldiers on the battlefield, and you still have the face to put gold on your face?
"Do you know how they escaped?" Carlos said in a relaxed tone, and after saying that, he realized that this was not in line with the issue of the Military Council, so he waved his hand and added, "Well, the meeting can be dismissed." ”
That's what he said, but none of the generals had the intention of leaving.
They have all seen the previous intelligence deduction, and the orcs are so well prepared for this encirclement and suppression, it is a mortal situation, and everyone is very curious, how did this group of young people escape from death?
Intelligence is an indispensable part of warfare, and the Empire has multiple channels for spying, such as griffon knights and scouts like Danes, who were saved by Kane and them.
Through these layers of intelligence, the real-time movements of the orcs can be grasped as much as possible, so no matter how large the scale of the battle occurs in that direction, the empire can fully deduce it afterwards.
Witt picked up a few small flags and stuck them in the sand table in the center of the table, and began to explain: "According to the information we have so far, after they realized that they were in an ambush..."
