Chapter Seventy-Three: Military Intelligence

Mingo was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw to the ground, Aragorn is the messenger of God, what is this concept? In this world where divine power and imperial power coexist, if someone is recognized as a messenger of God, then even the king of a country must be respected, because although the messenger of God is not a god, what he says can represent the will of God, as long as the messenger says that your throne is not approved by God, it is impossible to get the support of God's followers, and the collapse of the country is even more conceivable.

Liang Ke himself felt even more incredible, what was the situation? This old man had a dream, and he decided that he was an envoy of God? This is as ridiculous as waking up with an extra father. He couldn't answer, so he could only look at Cardinal Alger in a daze.

Alger was not surprised by Mingo's surprise at Mingo and Liang Ke, he smiled and continued: "Of course, all this is just a dream of mine, and there is also my speculation, after all, this is the first time I have met Colonel Aragorn today, and I have experienced your wisdom, courage and courage from the rumors of the people, but I don't know much about other aspects. I will report to the Archbishop of the Imperial Capital about this revelation and all that you have, and I trust that his wisdom will make the right judgment. ”

From the tone of Alger's voice, it could be heard that he had regarded Aragorn as an envoy of the gods, which was why he was so respectful. But this kind of thing that has not yet been confirmed by the church is not suitable for public speaking, especially this kind of remark comes from the mouth of a cardinal who is known for his benevolence and nobility, and in the future, the reputation of Liang Ke, the oracle, is afraid that it will spread, and the old man is fighting for the danger of losing his reputation, and he must first publicize this matter, which is actually a manifestation of benevolence, and now a miracle and a oracle will undoubtedly bring hope to the precarious Cape Rambet.

Whatever the old man's purpose, it's not a bad thing to have an oracle sign, which will be more conducive to getting closer to the bishop and discovering the secrets of the crystal balls. Liang Ke made up his mind and took the initiative to talk to Alger. Bishop Alger is very fond of astronomical calendars and other miscellaneous studies, and Liang Kecheng's systematic scientific views have brought him to a new world view, this extraordinary insight has strengthened his identification of Liang Ke's divine envoyship, he believes that only God will know the origin of the world, Bishop Alger is like a student, seriously ask Liang Ke all kinds of questions, Liang Ke will answer, if he can't, he will say that he has insufficient understanding, and he needs to learn together. While he was talking, a herald came to invite General Minggo and Aragon to the headquarters to discuss matters, Liang Ke hurriedly said goodbye to Bishop Alger, Alger asked Liang Ke to come and have a long talk with him if he had time, Liang Ke nodded in agreement, and left quickly.

When Ming Ge and Liang Ke arrived, General Kan Delun was walking out with a group of staff officers and personal guards, Ming Ge and Liang Ke walked a few steps quickly to meet them, and before they had time to hurry up and salute, Kan Delun waved his hand and said loudly: "You follow me and go to the city wall to see the enemy's situation." Quincy, tell us about the information you've gathered. With that, he strode forward, and behind him Quincy explained the military situation to the officers who followed.

"The orcs suddenly launched a surprise attack on our two outpost fortresses early yesterday morning, and although the orcs have never launched a siege battle for many years, the defenders of the fortress did not slack off, and they responded fiercely to the attack of the orcs. According to past experience, the advantage of the orcs fought in the plains, their wolf horses were fast and ferocious, and there were many of them. Porcupine warriors are all powerful land combat units, but they lack engineering equipment, no superb tactics, and lack of long-range attack units such as magicians, and our advantage in defending the city is huge, our city is strong, the city walls are tall, the mountains and forests of the Luoshen Mountains are dense, and the wood is inexhaustible, so we are very well equipped to defend the city, and if we fight a war of attrition even without foreign aid, we can hold out for a long time. But it is difficult to understand that Rock and Suva were breached at the same time in just two hours, and less than a quarter of the soldiers escaped. According to the soldiers who fled, the Orc siege was completely different from what they had used to be, and they were well planned and orderly. They first piled up unknown dried herbs under the city, and after igniting it, thick poisonous smoke came out, and those poisonous smoke drifted to the city head with the help of the north wind, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were choked and couldn't open their eyes, they took advantage of the situation to send a huge Glufen giant elephant warrior, although the number of giant elephant warriors was scarce, but the body was as high as five meters, and the body ran to the city with a heavy siege ladder, and the long tusks were inserted into the city wall, and those wolf riders rode directly onto the city wall by means of the wide siege ladder, and when our soldiers regained their sight, the city wall was already full of orcs, although the officers and soldiers defending the city fought desperately, killing thousands, but in the end they were outnumbered, and our two fortresses fell。 Quincy spoke slowly, and there was a faint meaning between his words to protect the officers and soldiers of the fortress, he secretly looked at the back of General Kan Delun, and saw that the commander did not seem to care about his protection, so he continued to explain the military situation.

"Yesterday afternoon, the wolf cavalry crossed the Lake of Tears, and tried unsuccessfully to intercept our ordnance, and before sunset all 60,000 wolf cavalry gathered under the southern city, and camped about three miles away from us. To the north of the city, nearly 120,000 orc porcupine knights, monitor lizard knights, storm bear heavy infantry, and Dug infantry surrounded us to the death, and the orcs had sent soldiers to the Tears Mountains to cut wood since last night, as if they wanted to imitate the war equipment obtained in the rock and Suva fortress. ”

Quincy walked and spoke, and it wasn't long before the group reached the north wall. The Rambet Horn is close to the Luoshen Mountain Range, and the stones are sufficient, so the city is built very tall, the city wall is thirty meters high, and the width is seven or eight meters, and the soldiers at the head of the city are busy transporting the stone bullets to defend the city.

Liang Ke came to the side of the city wall, holding the battlement and looking down at the city, the military tent of more than 100,000 orcs rose from the Luoshen Mountain Range in the east, and connected to the north shore of Tiantear Lake in the west, stretching for several miles longitudinally. The military tents in the camp are scattered and evenly distributed, the passage of troops is clear and reasonable, and the banners of each army are clear and orderly. The front of the camp was covered with horse-blocking trenches, and it did not look like they wanted to attack immediately.

On the east side of the barracks, tall orc warriors were trimming the giant trees they had harvested into logs, and then transporting the huge logs back to the back of the barracks, too far away to see what they were doing. On the shores of the Lake of Tears, orc warriors are loading cut ice cubes onto board carts, and Kongkamon is carrying cartloads of ice cubes into the barracks. Liang Ke was wondering what they were doing when Commander Kan Delun suddenly turned his head to look at the young major and asked.

"Do you think the orcs are harvesting wood and digging lakes for ice?"

Quincy bowed his head and was silent, just peeked at the generals and staff officers, all of whom were higher in rank than him, and although Kan Delun looked at him, he knew that this question should definitely not be answered by him now.

Those generals, you look at me, I look at you, they all opened their mouths and didn't speak, and in the end, it was General Willy of the Djinn Division who broke the dullness with a rough voice.

"If you want me to see, these stinky orcs are making stretchers, ready to fight and carry the wounded. "General Willie is brave and unparalleled in battle, but his head is not very useful, and today he can say the results of this profound analysis, and his heart is already secretly proud.

Willy is Kan Delun's old subordinate, he has been the captain of his personal guard, he once saved Kan Delun's life on the battlefield, and he loves and hates this tenacious subordinate Kan Delun, he glared at Willy, General Willy saw it and grinned, the commander did not open his mouth to scold himself, even if he praised, he was beautiful enough in his heart.

Someone started the beginning, and the follow-up words are easy to say.

"The orcs cut down the giant trees, I think it might be to imitate our trebuchets and use them to take the city under siege. A middle-aged general said while touching his beard.

"Well, I also think that since they are putting up a posture and preparing to besiege us for a long time, they naturally want to use this time to build large siege equipment, after all, Cape Rambet is not a rock fortress, the city walls here are tall, there are many defenders, and the siege ladder alone cannot rush up, so it is a good choice to use siege equipment for attrition warfare. Another general chimed in.

"And how do they help in siege warfare by taking ice in the lake?" General Mingo, who was very clever, did not answer General Kandelen's question, but asked another question more profoundly. This will not make him appear obscure, avoid saying the wrong thing, and show the merits of his deep thinking. Sure enough, Kan Delun glanced approvingly at General and echoed: "Yes, tell me, what is this?"

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's to go back and turn it into water to drink?"

"Well, that's not a problem, and now that many parts of the lake have melted away, and it will be enough to get water, I see! It is likely that they are trying to use these ice blocks as projectiles for trebuchets against us. ”

"Mmmmmmmmmm ”

"I don't think so, it's getting hotter and hotter, and by the time they've finished building the trebuchet, the ice will have already turned into water. Besides, the ice cubes are limited in weight, so how much damage can they do to us?"

"Not necessarily, ice can break easily, and if you hit a wall, a splash of ice can hurt people. ”

"Nonsense, I haven't heard of anyone who will let the ice crumble, hahaha!"

Kan Delun frowned when he heard this, he was really full of brave generals, and it was difficult to find wisdom generals! Kan Delun turned his head and saw Liang Ke leaning on the battlement and carrying the collar of his cloak to avoid the wind, as if he had nothing to do, and when he saw Lao Liang's appearance that he had nothing to do with himself, he was angry, and called out with a gloomy face: "Colonel Aragon, tell me, what do you think?"

Liang Ke shrank his neck, and said in his heart, "Can't I hide behind you?"

"Lord Commander, Aragorn thinks that the generals' analysis is very reasonable, and all kinds of possibilities exist, but after all, we are here to analyze, and there is an element of speculation in the analysis, which may be a little different from the truth. So far, we don't know the enemy's strategic purpose, and if we understand their ultimate goal, we will understand why they do it. Therefore, it is still recommended to do some reconnaissance and obtain some more direct and accurate information, so that we can avoid mistakes in strategic decision-making as much as possible. ”
