Lin Ye's arrival greatly boosted the morale of the orc legion, and directly repelled the elven army, the strongest army in the continent, on the frontal battlefield, laying a brilliant result. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, with the collapse of Stormstorm, the confrontation between the two sides has shifted from defensive to positional, and the two sides are once again on the same running line.

The soldiers were so excited by today's victory that they couldn't sleep all night, talking in whispers in front of the fire, and they had high confidence in the battle that would follow.

After all, after today's battle, the elven army is not as powerful as imagined, at least in terms of combat effectiveness, the orc army soldiers will not be at a disadvantage.

But only Lin Ye, the core commander of the entire legion, knew the crux of the problem, and he was not blinded by the short-term victory in front of him.

"Although we temporarily repelled the attack of the elven army today, it is because the reaction of the orc army is beyond the preparation of the elven army, and Farred needs to collect troops and adjust, he is a very experienced and excellent military commander, almost the same level as General Adolf who encountered before. ”

Lin Ye has a high respect for these battle-hardened veterans, who have passed the period of impulse to fight against all odds.

No matter what the situation, they are very calm, and can always analyze the most favorable situation in the shortest possible time to launch a fatal blow.

So it was with Adolf, and so was it with Fared, whose command had been fought again and again by blood and death on the battlefield.

It's not a martial artist like Storm, or a guy like Ka Miao, who is blinded by utilitarianism.

"Then what should we do next? Is it to temporarily shrink the battle line? I'm afraid that this kind of terrain is not very conducive to our battle, if we retreat into the belly of the Obsidian Province and use the depth of the entire province to deal with the elven army, will we be able to achieve better results? I have seen many battle examples. ”

Rhodes frowned and asked, as a local administrator, he didn't know much about military issues, that is, because of the outbreak of war.

It was only recently that he made up for the military history of the mainland, referring to many examples of warfare, and learned the concept of strategic depth.

"No, now several tribes in the prairie are watching the movements on our side, once we retreat to show weakness and expose the gap, then they will inevitably take action and take the opportunity to tear this gap indefinitely, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to us at that time. ”

Lin Ye shook his head and rejected Rhodes' proposal, although Rhodes was also well-intentioned, but the war could not only look at the immediate gains and losses.

His vision is even farther, not only the elven army, but also the steppe in the north, where 30,000 nomadic cavalry are ready to move.

"But weren't those steppe dwellers intimidated by you? With you here, the steppe nomadic cavalry wouldn't have attacked, right?"

Rod glanced at Lin Ye in surprise, as the administrative governor of the frontier province, he knew the situation in the northern steppe in the past two years very well.

Knowing that Lin Ye has a close relationship with the leaders of several steppe tribes, the whole steppe is becoming more and more closely connected with the Far East, and the dependence is strong.

"There are usually two reasons that drive human beings to act, one is the so-called sentiment at the spiritual level, which includes emotional things such as justice and reason, and the other is the material level, that is, interests, which include the ability to plunder wealth and population and bring substantial benefits to themselves. ”

"For the savannah, I did give them a favor, a sense of affection, and at the same time brought them a certain benefit, and there are two reasons for the existence of these two reasons, which are usually not taken against me if there is no other reason, but if the second reason is infinitely improved. ”

That is to say, when the benefits they can obtain are infinitely expanded, the first reason will be shaken, and even become insignificant, for example, a businessman will take risks if he has 50 percent of his profits, trample on the law with 100 percent of his profits, and commit all crimes with 300 percent of his profits. ”

Lin Ye shook his head, he knew very well that in the final analysis, the time for the Prairie and the Far East to communicate with each other is still short, and they have not yet formed a deep-rooted bond with the younger generation, and now they are completely linked together with interests that can calculate gains and losses, and they are not stable at all.

Unless we wait another ten or twenty years, let the second generation of the steppe people receive education in the Far East, so that they can form a sense of belonging, it will tend to be stable.

"Although I don't understand it, but that means there is only one choice in front of us now, and that is not to let a single step?"

Rod carefully pondered Lin Ye's words, and probably heard something he meant, once he withdrew from the current defense line, it would invite endless troubles.

"That's right, we must fight to the death with the elven army on this border, we must deter them with a tough attitude, if we show the slightest cowardice, I am afraid that it will invite a tragic situation of total collapse, we have no choice at all, either fight to the death or perish. ”

Lin Ye couldn't have understood the current situation more clearly and thoroughly, and the enemy standing opposite him at this time not only had a powerful army.

There are also excellent generals and calm commanders, which puts a lot of pressure on him, which is more difficult than any previous battle.

"But the number of elven troops is only about 20,000 people, now that the internal strife in the empire has subsided, we can completely spare our strength to deal with them, just now I heard that there are 40,000 reinforcements on the way, when they come, we can be in a numerical advantage, and completely annihilate the enemy!"

Rhodes showed a little excitement, not only him, but now the whole Storm Legion, everyone said that reinforcements were coming.

They had been beaten passively for a month, and now the orc legions were showing their strength, and then reinforcements were about to arrive.

This is simply a double happiness, with such an advantage, they can't win the war to the end, and the elven army will definitely lose!

"News of reinforcements? I sent them out to encourage morale and confuse the enemy, in fact, there would be no reinforcements. ”

Lin Ye shook his head and said a fact that shocked Rhodes, there were no reinforcements?

And it was deliberately spread? This scared Rhodes a lot, and if such news let the soldiers know the truth, wouldn't it be fried?

"Now that the empire is under enemy on all sides, and the army has been sent to various places for reinforcements, where is there any spare strength to defend the north? So now against the 20,000 elven army, it is 10,000 orc troops and 4,000 soldiers of the Storm Legion!" Lin Ye said slowly.
