Chapter 257: Transformation of Tactics, Defense
The battle continues.
This fight between the two sides can be said to be inextricably fought.
Although the bear people on the opposite side, who are high-end combat power, were suppressed by the elephant people on the side of Great Xia and the soldiers brought by Li Chuan, the large number of werewolves and foxes on the opposite side were not vegetarians.
Werewolves, in particular, are much more physically fit than Terran soldiers.
But on the contrary, the main force on the side of Great Xia is composed of two thousand Terran soldiers.
Individual strength is simply not the opposite side, and in terms of the number of troops, the advantage is not very large.
Now, although it is said that with Li Chuan's command, the situation is barely maintained, but it is obviously far from a certain victory.
This battle was much more difficult than he expected.
As time passed, Li Chuan could clearly feel that the Terran soldiers under his command could no longer keep up with those orcs in terms of physical strength.
If we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will only increase casualties.
Similarly, the opponent's high-end combat power bear man, the joint suppression of the face of the human and the human soldier is also a bit unbearable.
At this moment, both sides invariably chose to retreat.
Because the Great Xia side was more familiar with the mountains and forests of the Northland, they found a relatively safe location to camp.
The men began to light fires and cook, while the medics began to treat wounds for wounded soldiers.
The statistics of the casualties of the troops under his command were quickly sent to Li Chuan's eyes.
Looking at the content of the report, Li Chuan's heart sank.
Not to mention the orc strength, just the 2,000 Terran troops under his command lost nearly 400 people in this battle.
In addition to this, more than 200 people were seriously injured, and the number of lightly injured soldiers was even higher.
These cold numbers made Li Chuan feel heavy.
Transit camps.
The orcs entrenched in this camp are not easy either.
After a big battle, more than eighty percent of the orcs in the camp were colored, even Bey and Kgrud were no exception.
After the battle with Richard, Kegrud, who was covered with scars, directly approached Bey, and then said bluntly: "The other side is very strong, and if you want to continue fighting, ask those foxmen to hand over their weapons and equipment!" ”
Hearing this, Bey was surprised not to be angry.
Although Kgrud's attitude made it unhappy, it could not be denied that there was some truth in the other party's words.
Fox or werewolf, who is stronger?
That must be a werewolf.
In the current situation, those human forces don't know how to unite the elephant people and the orcs of other races, which can be described as menacing.
If they want to match it, then their side must continue to improve their combat power.
And now, if you want to improve your combat power, the easiest way is to let the foxes give up their weapons and equipment to the werewolf clan.
But this guy Kgrud is really arrogant, what if he gets weapons and equipment, fully arms the werewolves under his command, and further improves his combat power, what if he climbs on his head?
Bey's mind was racing, and there was a faint hint of hesitation.
"I know about this, and I'll call the fox people over to talk about it later."
It seems that Bey does not intend to give an answer immediately.
Krude also heard this and frowned, but finally walked out without saying anything.
After watching Kgrud walk away, Bey called a bear man next to him, called Ali over, and told Ali about it.
It originally thought that Ali should be very resistant to this kind of thing, but they didn't.
After listening, Ali nodded very dryly and agreed to the matter.
This reaction was a bit of a surprise to Bey, but in fact, in this regard, Ali thought very clearly.
How is the combat effectiveness of the fox clan, is it still unclear in its heart?
It can be said that even if the fox is fully armed, but in the face of the same number of werewolves, try to hold a rudimentary bone weapon, but in the end, it must be the werewolf who wins.
Besides, it was able to get to this point now, not because of the combat power of the fox people, but because of its own brains and the mountain of the bear people.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is of course good to be able to get weapons and equipment, arm your own people, and enhance the combat effectiveness in your hands.
But what's going on now?
If they don't increase their combat power, they may be defeated in the next battle.
If you can win, you will have a future.
If you can't win, it's over!
As long as it understands this, what is it reluctant to do?
Looking at Ali, who was acting very crisply, Bey didn't know what to say for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he finally expressed his concerns.
After listening to Bey's concerns, Ali also pondered for a while.
I have to say that Bey's concerns are somewhat reasonable.
The werewolf clan is not weak, and there are many of them, so if Kgrud gets a large number of weapons and equipment to arm his people.
At that time, just these dozens of bear people in the camp may not be able to suppress these werewolves.
But think about it from another angle, what if you can't hold it?
With a whole bear clan pressed behind, does Kgrud really dare to turn his face?
When the time comes, as soon as the reinforcements of the Great Chief Baker arrive, will the werewolves have good juice to eat?
Ali then informed Bey of his idea.
Hearing this, Bey suddenly realized.
That's right, there is a big brother behind him!
Does that Krude really have the courage to get a batch of weapons and equipment, and dare to tear his face with their bear people?
In the current situation, it is more important to improve combat effectiveness, that guy Kgrud, let it be arrogant.
Thinking of this, Bey slapped his big hand and settled the matter.
After that, Bey directly ordered Ali to send the weapons and equipment to the werewolves.
When the fox people sent their weapons and equipment, Kgrud was surprised.
He originally thought that Bey would shirk his strength, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask the fox people to send weapons and equipment so quickly.
After receiving the batch of equipment sent by Ali, Kegrud naturally distributed the weapons and equipment to his people as soon as possible.
The orc troops have captured the explorer camp and the transit camp successively, and in today's battle, the number of weapons and equipment looted by the fox clan along the way can be said to be quite large.
Now it is not difficult to arm all the werewolves
And after sending equipment to the werewolf clan, on the fox clan's side, Ali changed his clan with another weapon.
This weapon is called a bow and arrow.
In the previous battle, many human soldiers stood on the mountain wall and attacked them with this weapon.
The next day.
On this day, there was no action on either side.
Obviously, yesterday's fight was too intense, and both sides needed a little time to adjust.
At the same time, Li Chuan wrote a report on the situation of yesterday's battle and sent it to Great Xia City.
After yesterday's battle, he felt that Great Xia had to re-examine the orc troops on the other side.
Today's Great Xia has developed horizontally for a long time, but the vertical development is not very wide.
To the south of the mountain city, there are only two cities, and further south, there is the Great Xia City.
As a result, the messenger quickly delivered the report to the city of Great Xia.
After receiving this report, Xia Qi pinched the corners of his eyes with a little headache, only feeling that there were a lot of troublesome things recently.
In this situation, it is impossible not to send reinforcements.
But the problem is that the borders of Great Xia need to send troops on all sides, and the cities behind also need to deploy garrison troops.
This also includes those soldiers brought back by the Southern Expeditionary Army, who were converted from natives.
Speaking of the Southern Expeditionary Army, they went all the way south, and every once in a while, they would send a group of natives to Great Xia, as well as the maps drawn along the way.
According to the map, the Southern Expeditionary Army was already hundreds of kilometers away from Great Xia, and Xia Qi had the intention to call them back, but it would take a while.
Therefore, don't think about it this time.
As for the cavalry, first, it is a little far away from the mountain city, and the cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests.
The most important point is that now Kree and Silan are at the right rate
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
led the cavalry to fight with the capitalized steppe people on the grassland, and he couldn't pull away at all.
In other words, in the current Great Xia, there are no spare troops on the human side.
Just when Xia Qi was thinking about how many troops he wanted to send and how many he wanted to send.
On the other side, in the mountains and forests of the Northland.
After a few days of rest, Li Chuan decided to attack again.
If this wave can be won, then everything is easy to say.
And if you can't take it, then temporarily withdraw to the mountain city and wait for Your Majesty's next order, or the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
The horn of attack echoed throughout the mountain stream, and the murderous two groups of men and horses were once again slaughtered.
In this battle, in order to recover the casualties caused by his previous mistakes, Xiangzuo, who had not even removed the bandages on his body, held a weapon made of iron birch in his hand, and rushed to kill with great ferocity.
Together with the other three elephant men, they held back the bearmen. =
And Li Chuan, leading the main force, had already collided with the main force on the opposite side.
The main force of the orc forces on the opposite side is all composed of those white werewolves, and the leader is none other than Kgrud.
Li Chuan found that the werewolves on the opposite side were all equipped with weapons and equipment that originally belonged to the Great Xia soldiers.
Although these equipment may not seem to fit, they also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the werewolves.
This change has undoubtedly made this battle even more difficult to fight.
Even Richard felt the obvious pressure.
After several rounds of confrontations, the main force has already shown some disadvantages.
Probably seeing the situation here, Xiangzuo, who was brandishing his weapon, rushed all the way to help the main force break the siege.
Xiangzuo's assistance undoubtedly helped the main force share part of the pressure to a certain extent.
Li Chuan took advantage of this opportunity to quickly change the formation and began to command the soldiers under his command, cooperating with the offensive of Xiangzuo and maneuvering with the enemy's main force.
However, this level is simply not enough for them to turn defeat into victory.
If Li Chuan wants to continue to fight with this orc army, it will actually be difficult to win, and at most it will be five or five open.
Whoever wins in the end will be a pyrrhic victory.
For a general, no matter who it is, a crushing victory is not something to boast about.
Besides, now Great Xia doesn't know how many orcs there are in the Bitter Cold Land.
If his side finally won the victory, and as a result, another wave of orcs appeared on the side of the bitter cold land, then the Great Xia side would be completely passive.
Li Chuan knew in his heart that it would be unwise to continue the attack.
These orcs in the bitter cold land will obviously not be content after taking the transit camp.
They will inevitably continue to attack south, plundering more resources.
In that case, he might as well take a step back, retreat to the mountain city, and wait for the orcs to come to the door.
The mountain castle is high and deep, and it is not at all comparable to the explorer camp and the transit camp.
If you want to break through this city, it is not very difficult for orcs who do not have siege equipment.
It would have been better if they had given up attacking the mountain castles and had moved on to other cities.
He could have waited until the orc army attacked the city, sneaked up from behind, and had a front and back attack with the defending troops, and the battle was victorious.
With a decision in his heart, Li Chuan immediately ordered someone to blow the horn of retreat.
The sound of the horn spread throughout the battlefield in a short period of time, and after receiving the order, the army under Li Chuan's command withdrew all the way in the direction of the mountain city in the north.
In fact, Li Chuan's decision does coincide with Xia Qi.
Later, in the warrant sent from Daxia City, Xia Qi clearly asked Li Chuan to temporarily withdraw to the mountain city of Beidi and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Orcs have a strong attack power, and in a one-on-one situation, even if they are fully armed, human soldiers are hardly their opponents.
It is really unwise to fight with it.
The best way is to defend the city, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then it is not too late to fight it.
It is precisely because of this that when Xia Qi gave the order earlier, he had already ordered someone to transport the resources to defend the city to the mountain city.
