Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bloody War (II)

It's getting late. Vertex updates the fastest

The battle line on the human side has retreated again and again, at least two or three miles.

The two-to-three-mile front is really an inch of blood. For every step back of humanity, many warriors have to be sacrificed. Every time you retreat, you often have to fill in a number of lives to avoid the collapse of the battle line.

Despite the best efforts of the human commanders to seize every opportunity they could, the gap in power cannot be bridged by intelligence. Even if they tried their best, they still couldn't save the defeat.

All they can do is to defeat without chaos and defeat without collapse as much as possible.

In the rear of the human front, the face of the goddess of virtue sank like water.

"Do you need us to strike?" asked a demigod powerhouse.

The goddess shook her head and was silent for a long time before she said, "Retreat to the defense line of the Great Wall and let them attack the city!"

This was also one of the original tactics, but no one expected that the battle that everyone thought should be able to win easily would end up like this.

Fortunately, the Great Wall is still there.

With this line of defense that stretches across the eastern part of the northern land and separates the human kingdom from the orc kingdom, even if the orcs have an advantage, they can't win easily.

Even without the help of divine magic, humans can use the advantage of geography and numbers to consume it.

The gods have not fallen, but there is something wrong with the connection with the human world. When the problem is cleared, it will be time for humanity to fully counterattack!

When the time comes, the disadvantage of the exhausted orcs in terms of strength will be completely exposed, and a single onslaught will collapse them on all fronts!

Until then, all humanity has to do is endure with endurance.

The darkness of the night did not stop the two sides from fighting, nor did it slow down the retreat of the humans.

The Orc Emperor Iloh was still standing on the chariot, his long hair was blown by the night wind, and the lionman's golden mane had turned gray from old age, but his hair had not yet dried up, just like the enthusiasm and fighting spirit in his chest.

"The humans are retreating, presumably trying to retreat to the Great Wall. For the first time since the beginning of the war, he said, "If you want to make them bleed more, you have to attack now." ”

"We don't have enough strength to storm anymore. A veteran of the staff said with a sigh, "Although the reserves are still there, but considering the subsequent siege battles, our soldiers need to rest now." ”

Ilo nodded slightly, he was not good at the art of war, he had always respected the opinions of professionals, and he was as good as he was.

At this moment, a young staff officer suddenly spoke up and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a suggestion!"

This kind of impolite behavior is bound to be severely reprimanded in the human realm, but it is no problem among orcs, who don't really care about "seniority" or "rules".

Ilo looked at the other with interest, and the first thing he noticed was the pair of fox ears, no doubt a member of the Wilder family, who had always been called "the wise".

"What do you suggest, little Wilder?" the Emperor asked.

The young fox man's face turned slightly red from the excitement of the Emperor's friendly attitude, he took two deep breaths, and then said in the calmest tone possible, "I think we should send some mobile troops to disrupt the logistics and supplies of the humans." ”

The emperor was stunned, since the original Gold Coin Federation Civil War, the notoriety of the "Mobile Force" can be said to be known to everyone, and everyone knows it. Later, after discussions, the countries of the mainland unanimously adopted a treaty "prohibiting the use of mobile forces to strike at enemy logistics and civilians." Now little Wilder suggested that the orc empire form a mobile force, which is tantamount to unilaterally tearing up the treaty, which is quite a shameful and despicable thing for the orcs who have always respected trust.

Emperor Yiluo is also a person who values credit, so when he heard this suggestion, his first reaction was surprise, and then he wanted to refuse.

However, instead of speaking immediately, he looked at the other members of the staff team.

As a monarch, he should have consulted his ministers before making a decision.

Everyone in the staff group was shocked and angry at first, and then they all showed thoughtful expressions, and after a while, several of the oldest veterans nodded their heads in agreement.

"Treaties or something, now it doesn't make sense. This battle is a great battle between orcs and humans, with the winner becoming the overlord and the loser likely to be driven out of the main plane. In this case, of course, any means can be used, and there is no need to have any scruples at all. ”

"Yes, keep the letter so that the neutrals will support us. Now that the entire main plane has been involved in this great war, it is either friendly or enemy, and there are no neutrals left!

"But be careful, you can't engage in massacres, otherwise it will anger His Majesty the Void Kamene......"

"His Majesty the Void Mask has made it clear that he doesn't care about anything other than massacres and refugees, and as long as the mobile forces don't do it well, they won't interfere. ”

"How can that not be considered hot?"

"This ...... Let's talk about it......"

Emperor Ilo nodded, and asked the staff to discuss the issue.

However, before the Committee began to discuss the issue, it made a recommendation.

"Your Majesty, since we plan to send mobile troops to attack the rear and supply lines of the human race, then there is no need to think about the siege. The oldest veteran said, "Then the reserves don't need to rest, continue to attack, take advantage of the advantage we have now, kill more if we can, kill more!"

Emperor Ilo naturally accepted his advice, and the order was conveyed.

This order was accompanied by more brutal fighting and more bloodshed than during the day.

After a day of fighting, both sides were tired. Even the reserve team, which can rest during the day, is difficult to rest well in this environment, so they are not in good shape with each other. However, the orcs can use large-scale magic to quickly restore the soldiers, but the human side that has exhausted mana cannot.

To make matters worse, orcs generally have dim or even dark vision, and night does not interfere with their vision. Humans, on the other hand, are not, and even with torches and fire-lit fires, most human soldiers have a greatly obstructed view, making it difficult for them to see the enemy clearly, and it is even more difficult for them to hit and dodge enemy attacks.

So on this night, the human losses were extremely heavy. By daybreak, the loss of human soldiers was shocking to the commanders, along with the battle line retreating sharply.

Of course, in this night, the human beings also successfully fought several counterattacks with some arrangements originally located in the camp, consuming a large number of orcs, but from the overall statistics, in this short night, the exchange ratio between orcs and humans has exceeded one to five, that is, on average, the fall of each orc soldier will be accompanied by the fall of at least five human soldiers.

Not only that, but the seriously injured soldiers of the orcs can save their lives under the divine healing, and even recover as soon as possible. The humans could not do it, they could only rely on the healing potions and other things prepared in advance, and the effects of the potions were very limited after all, making it almost impossible for their seriously injured to be saved. If this factor is taken into account, the ratio of battle losses between the two sides on this night is only afraid to even exceed 1 to 10!
