Chapter 109: Strategy, Tactics

();

Maybe it was in the era of King Maudun back then, or the era when the orcs ruled the Great 6 ten thousand years ago.? ≀ at that time, the orcs were full of talents, and they had enough intelligent people to plan everything.

But today's beast race is already weak, only a few million people, not even comparable to the population of an ordinary kingdom of human beings. There is hardly a single person in the entire group who can be called a strategist.

Hilnardo and Muru can be said to be excellent, one is an excellent domestic talent, and the other is an excellent army commander. But they have not experienced enough, or so to speak, their gaze is still limited, and they do not see far. Others, like Tulayan, Angre, Barotan, Lorne Khan...... It's only shown that he has excelled in a certain aspect, and he hasn't experienced too much, and now he is definitely not a strategic talent.

Orcs and Terrans are different, there are too many Terrans, even according to a low ratio, there will always be some amazing talents. The orcs didn't have that strength, so the Baroque had to teach them little by little, hand-in-hand, in the hope that they could become talents.

Of course, at present, it seems that it is not bad, if there is no Baroque, I am afraid that whether it is Muru or Tulayan and others, they will be buried in the barren land of the gravel wasteland, and they may not be able to get out of the old age for a lifetime.

The war in front of us is both a crisis and an opportunity, depending on how you look at it. The Holy See is ready to launch a huge battle to destroy the orcs in one battle. Therefore, they need to make all kinds of preparations, especially food, water, weapons and armor, horses and mounts, tents and clothing...... And so on and so forth, all of which need to be prepared in advance. Even if humans were able to come up with numerous storage bracelets and pack all the supplies, it would still take a lot of time to prepare before that.

Coupled with the summoning order, it will take time for the troops to be assembled in various parts of Audria, and it is based on the discussion between Baroque and Mazzaro, the latest great magician who has taken refuge in him, and it is deduced that the Holy See will take at least two to three months. in order to officially invade the orcs. At that time, it also happened to be May, and the northern tundra had melted the ice and snow and the climate was warm, which was suitable for marching!

So the orcs still have plenty of time. Baroque can also patiently explain the current situation to the excellent orc generals at the core. And how strategies and tactics should be established.

"Strategy is the end, tactics is the means!" was the first sentence of Baroque's mouth. He also knew that in the minds of the orcs...... Including Muru, the distinction between strategy and tactics is always vague and specious. It seems that only by killing as many Terran soldiers as possible can we defeat the enemy. But I don't know that there are many ways, and I don't have to fight head-on. It is also possible to make the enemy pay a heavy price, or even defeat.

"First of all, we must have a clear understanding of our own true strength and that of our enemies. Baroque was like a teacher in an academy, speaking to all the orc leaders around him.

"The entire orc clan is only a few million people, and we can say that we have gathered all the young people who can fight to form an army! 500,000 orc soldiers, 500,000 troops, it seems that it is indeed very powerful. But if you compare it to humans, it looks very weak. The [Convocation Order] of the Apocalypse Holy See is only issued to the Odria Empire, but according to the information we have obtained, it is inferred that in the more than half a month since the Convocation Order was issued, there have been more than 500,000 human soldiers. They gathered on the plain outside the imperial capital of Adria Duron. If the Holy See prepares to attack us in May, then they have three months to continue recruiting soldiers, and by that time perhaps this number will increase several times. Even two million people are not an exaggeration!"

Two million people! That's almost half the size of the entire orc race, and that's just the army assembled by an empire of humanity. One can imagine the depression and heaviness in the hearts of the orcs after Baroque said this. They do have the determination to fight and the belief that they will win, but the reality tells them that faith and determination alone are never enough.

I saw the orcs who were originally a little excited and impetuous. Because of these words, I gradually calmed down. Baroque smiled, not to hit their emotions too much, otherwise it would be overkill. He continued, "It can be said that we are in a very bad situation, even if we respond to human invasion according to the previous countermeasures. We will lose. ”

"Baroque, what should we do?" asked Protoya first. He is a native of the northern tundra and has fought many times against Odria's annual Legion of Clearing, and arguably has the deepest understanding of how the Orcs have dealt with it in the past. The so-called orc response is lackluster, to put it bluntly, it is to fill in with the lives of orcs. Desperately fighting to inflict casualties on the humans, eventually forcing the human legions to retreat. But this approach is often more harmful to itself. What if the invasion of humans is repelled? One by one, the orc tribes gradually decline because of this method, and then the broken tribes merge and swallow each other, form new tribes, and then fight the humans desperately...... Day after day, the orcs are endlessly exhausted.

Dealing with ordinary invasions may be helpless, but there is always some effect. But in the face of the huge army that came out of the summoning order, if the orcs still did this, they would really be sent to death. Baroque is no exaggeration to say that it will lose!

"I've thought of a solution. It doesn't seem like anyone else in the tribe has any new proposals, right?" Baroque asked deliberately, and when everyone shook their heads, he continued: "In two ways. ”

"First of all, we have to establish our own strategic objectives, that is, what are we prepared to gain in this war? And what price are we prepared to pay for this? Purpose and bottom line, this is strategy. And then there's the question of how we need to do that in order to achieve this strategic goal? This is tactics. ”

To put it so bluntly, not to mention the clever Muru, Angrey and others, even the stupid Hubertus grinned in the corner and said: "Oh, I know, the strategy is to beat the human mongrels back, and the tactic is that the Baroque shaman leads us to fight, and you let us fight as much as we want!"

The orcs burst into laughter, and Baroque also smiled and pointed at Hubertus: "If anyone says that the Hubertus brothers are stupid, then let him listen to today's meeting......! It's about beating the human invaders back. But what about the second one...... I can't do it on my own, after all, I am not a god, how can I command an army of 500,000 by myself, and then drive out an army of 2 million? This requires the joint efforts of all the brothers present, and this is also the purpose of this meeting. ”

"With 500,000 orcs against 2 million human soldiers, we will definitely not be able to fight head-on, after all, we can't afford to lose. Baroque, what are your tactics?" asked Muru. He listened most attentively in this meeting. Because those simple-minded orc commanders may only need to lead orc warriors to fight on the front line. And as a commander like him, there is much more to consider. This meeting of the Baroque requires their commanders to pay attention to it carefully, and then when they carry out the order, they can cooperate perfectly without compromise. And it is clear that Tulayan, Angre, Lorne Khan, Plottoya and others are aware of this, and they are all preoccupied.

"I created two tactics, which I call [wolf pack tactics] and [guerrilla tactics]. And these two tactics are currently the most suitable for us to deal with the human army. Baroque did not blush at all, and took for himself the great tactics created by the brilliant military strategists who had brought over half the soul of the earth.

Wolf pack tactics and guerrilla tactics are easy to say, but they are also quite complicated to explain. Baroque then patiently explained to the orc commanders in detail. There is no way, the best talents of the orcs are in front of him, and he can only try to say it in as much detail as possible, whoever can understand and listen thoroughly, he will choose who will be in charge alone. After all, if those two tactics were to be used, the army of half a million orcs would definitely be scattered. There's no radio or internet to keep in touch at all times. It often takes several days to deliver an order, so the ability of the commanders assigned to them is particularly important.

Fortunately, the old brothers did not disappoint him, at least they all had a preliminary understanding of the tactical concept of the Baroque. As for being proficient in cooperation, you need to hone your tacit understanding on the battlefield!

The northern tundra is vast and has great strategic depth. And during the two- or three-month buffer period during which Odria gathered his army, there was enough time for the old and weak women and children of the Orcs to migrate to the Valley of Miracles deep in the tundra. Baroque had already handed over the six Tree of Life [Core Totem Poles] in his hands, as well as the construction method of the [Great Star Totem Array] recorded in the dragon skin scroll that appeared in the palace of King Maudun in the Gravel Wasteland, and had them all taken to High Priest Silo. And a large number of precious and precious metals necessary for the construction of the totem array brought back from Kuchi Island were also left in the tribe for Ortu to take away. With the help of the gray dwarves in the Valley of Miracles, High Priest Sira should be able to preside over the construction of a simplified version of the [Great Star Totem Array] as quickly as possible.

That way, Valley of Miracles can sit back and relax. Because of the protection of the Great Star Totem Array, unless the Holy See once again appears eight Divine Messengers of Light, all of whom deliver the strongest blow, they may be able to break through the defenses of the Great Star Totem Arrayβ€”β€”β€”β€” which is all recorded in the dragon skin scroll of King Maudun.

As long as the worries are solved, then the 500,000 orcs outside will have the time and patience to deal with the human army. The Baroque does not ask whether it can take advantage of it in the first place, and even pays some price for it. He only hopes to be able to delay the human army until the cold winter comes, even if the humans want to retreat, it will not be so easy!

The cold northern tundra is the world of orcs and the nightmare of mankind! And at that time, it was the moment when the orcs stretched out their fangs............ (To be continued.) )
