Chapter 32: The Great Bear Commands

He felt that if he was called "Commander Xiong", he would not be able to highlight his military rank as a "great" commander, nor could he show his powerful and domineering name as "Xiong Da", so he asked his subordinates to call him "Commander Xiong". As for whether others would mistake his name for "Xiong Dada", he didn't think about it.

"Nonsense, what if the wolf cavalry runs too fast and catches up? Are you stupid?" Commander Xiong picked up the bear's paw and gave his men a head.

"Commander Xiong Da, I found a lot of corpses of orc warriors in front, it seems that they are all from the second regiment. A scout shouted in a panic.

"What? Take me there. Commander Xiong was a little surprised. According to the previous analysis of combat effectiveness, these two teams of men and horses can theoretically complete the plan to destroy the Terran forces alone. Of course, if they attack alone, then they can only choose to attack their base camp, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"There are more than a hundred orc corpses here, apparently they were just encountered and killed by the Terran army in front of us, but where have the rest of the second regiment gone?" Commander Xiong muttered to himself. "Hmph, it must be going to eat alone, this group of dogs/mothers, let's hurry up and catch up. "I don't know what status the kobolds have in the orcs, anyway, everyone talks about their family.

At the same time, Myron is making combat arrangements: "Clear this path and make it look like he is clearly conducive to attacking." Myron said, pointing to a relatively smooth road. The terrain here is similar to that of the camp, it is hilly, and the soldiers are not unfamiliar with the arrangement.

"Make a wall out of the front with big stones, and it doesn't need to be strong, just look like a wall. "There was only half an hour to make a simple arrangement, and Myron didn't instruct everyone to dig a trap, after all, it wasn't something that could be made in half an hour. He just "built" a suitable road for the orcs to go up the mountain, and piled up a lot of big rocks on the top of the mountain, and when the time came, he just had to push it down, which was more powerful than any trap.

As for why it looked like a wall, Myron felt that no matter how stupid the orcs were, it would not be obvious that others were going to throw stones down and rush up stupidly. But the wall is different, it's just a wall, and it doesn't have much attack power.

"The orcs followed us all the way and took it for granted that the corpses were, but we only left a hundred or so corpses, which would disturb the orc's judgment. I don't think he will know the fact that the other team has been wiped out, but will speed up his actions because he is afraid that the other team will take the credit. Myron analyzed.

"Anyway, the top of the mountain is big enough, and our men will hide half of it first, and then they will reappear when they rush to the mountainside. When they see a small force of enemy troops stationed in the middle of the road, they will definitely charge without brains. As a rule, these orc slaves are all tied up for me, and don't make any noise. Myron continued.

As Myron said, the orcs did speed up their advance, and it only took 25 minutes to catch up. Of course, the price of speeding up the march was that they were now all gasping for breath at the foot of the mountain.

There was no suspense in the subsequent action, the orc saw that there were not many people on the top of the mountain, and Myron left him a spacious charging route, and sure enough, he rushed all the way up. As a result, more than 700 warriors suddenly appeared on the top of the hill and began to shoot, and the pikemen in front began to push down all the large stones that had been prepared.

Blocked by falling rocks, the charge of these orc warriors is basically a joke, and then they are fired by 3 waves of feather arrows, and those who are lucky enough not to die have no intention of fighting. Finally, the infantry regiment rushed down from the top of the hill and cut down all the orcs who could still move to the ground, and the battle ended happily.

The battle went so smoothly that it was completely inseparable from the low IQ of the orcs. The orcs do have good execution skills, so they have been completing the tasks assigned by William seriously. But once the situation and the content of the mission are different, the orc commander begins to judge the situation for himself. Once the orc leaders were made to think, the situation would immediately become clear.

Brainless rushing, hard work, this is the basic principle of orcs fighting. So, it's not so much that Myron commanded well, but that the orcs played themselves to death. In this way, if there is no major change in the orcs, then any Terran general can use these skills to easily destroy the same number of orcs, which is why the orcs have not been able to develop.

"However, there should be a very good commander among the orcs, at least stronger than many famous historical generals, as can be seen from his layout. It's just that for some unknown reason, this commander did not go to war with the army. If he had personally commanded it, we would have been more than lucky this time. Myron concluded.

"How so? We easily wiped out these 1,000 orc warriors. Warner felt that Myron was a little worried.

"No, in this case, as long as the orcs don't rush up, then we can only choose between a head-on battle or starvation. "Isaac has some knowledge of combat.

Myron nodded at Isaac and said, "That's right, that's it. So, it's not so much that we're strong, it's that we're lucky. It's just that we can't rely on luck all the time, since it's so dangerous here, we have to increase our troops immediately. ”

Although the infantry regiment lost more than 200 soldiers, these recruits have grown a lot in the battle and can become qualified non-commissioned officers after the reinforcement. And in Myron's heart, these excellent non-commissioned officers are the core of an army.

In terms of slaves, the previous orc slaves were all sacrificed by them as bait. Of the 600 Terran slaves, there were only 200 left, but after these two battles, there were more than 600 orc slaves out of thin air, just to make up for the previous losses.

In such a dangerous battle, the losses of the infantry regiment can be described as negligible, which also makes the image of the leader of Myron Weigan deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the respect shown by the soldiers when they salute is also radiated from the inside out. This is also human nature, there is no soldier who does not want to have a wise and martial commander, after all, an excellent commander usually brings everyone "victory" and "triumph", and those tiger commanders can generally only lead everyone to a foreign land.

The camp should be rebuilt as soon as possible, and the troops should be expanded as soon as possible, and Myron intends to directly expand the force to 5,000 people. With so many people directly recruited, the expenses were much larger, and the gold coins in Myron's hand finally bottomed out. Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce has already made a certain amount of income, contributing 10,000 gold coins in the first two months, otherwise it would be very difficult for these people to even eat.

In the original plan, half of the 200,000 gold coins needed to be used for construction, and at least 2,000 slaves needed to be purchased, and after 2 years of normal expenses, the final number of conscripts should be controlled at about 3,000. The task of mining is also relatively tight, because to provide 100,000 gold coins worth of azurite ore for free, there will be almost no profit in the first year.

However, since Myron first invested in the Chamber of Commerce, the income of the Song of the Forest can be continuously replenished, as an emerging industry, the yield of the Song of the Forest is much higher than that of mining. This is also the reason why Myron dared to increase the number of troops to 5,000 at once.

There were also two reasons why the number of troops had to be increased: one was that the strength of the nearby orcs was obviously stronger than they expected, and there was also a military genius, and if there were few people, the ship would not necessarily capsize in the gutter one day. The second is that the Song of the Forest is spread throughout the Principality of Lane, and the transportation of materials and the security of various regions require a large number of people, which makes Myron have to train more qualified warriors.

However, even with the income from Song of the Forest, Myron can now only buy equipment for another 2,000 warriors. After all, all the goods he bought were high-end goods, and high-end goods generally have one characteristic, that is, they are expensive. Fortunately, the training of the infantry regiment is not an overnight thing, and Myron estimates that after these soldiers have completed all the training, the equipment should be complete.

If you ask, what if you still don't have the money to buy equipment? Myron can naturally add more courses to delay everyone's graduation progress.

Now that Myron has spent all the money, the 2,000 slaves needed naturally cannot be obtained through purchase. So, Myron hit the idea on these orc neighbors again.

Of course, Myron has no offensive plans in the near future. Regardless of whether the orc tribe can only come up with 2,000 warriors, or whether that military genius is still here, it is undoubtedly very irrational for Myron to attack such a village with less than 1,000 troops.

The inability to attack does not mean that reconnaissance is impossible, on the contrary, reconnaissance is very necessary. So, the next day, Myron sent out the reconnaissance team, making sure to find all the threatening orc tribes in the vicinity, and to find out the specific scale.

The repair of the camp was more difficult than the construction of the new one, and the soldiers had to not only re-deliver supplies, but also clean up the fire site and repair the traps that had been activated. Soldiers who tasted the sweetness of the last defensive battle were particularly active in repairing traps, as traps were significantly more reliable in combat than recruits.

Half a month passed quickly, and the location of the orc tribe had already been discovered. This is a large tribe of more than 20,000 people, and according to the habits of the orcs, the number of soldiers is conservatively estimated to be more than 5,000. Counting the 2,500 orcs wiped out by the infantry regiment, Myron estimates that there should be about 3,000 qualified warriors in the entire orc village.

However, Myron's recruitment plan has also been completed, and just yesterday, 4,000 recruits arrived at the camp on time. Although it doesn't have much combat effectiveness, it's quite bluffing for so many people to go to that station.

Without taking into account external factors, this orc village can hardly pose any threat to Myron, and unless they are all soldiers and come to fight, it will be difficult to break through the defenses of the infantry regiment. And as time goes on, the camp's defenses will get stronger and stronger.
