Chapter 275: The Eastern Crusade
Comparing the current strengths together, the grassland people at this time are fighting a civil war, and it is impossible to make any new moves in a short period of time, and the bear people in the bitter cold land are still nowhere to be seen.
In comparison, the Orc Alliance in the east is almost reaching his borders!
From the skin map, it was not difficult to see that those guys must have been thinking about New Rock City.
Although the hyena closest to New Rock City is hundreds of kilometers away from New Rock City, if it weren't for the fact that Great Xia accidentally discovered those hyena people, it is impossible to say that they would have infiltrated in the direction of New Stone City and built new territories.
They didn't wake up until they attacked New Rock, but it was a little late.
"Pass on my order, transport grain and grass to New Rock City, and gather troops."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to recruit some soldiers from the grassland?" ”
"No, to get to the Orc Alliance, you need to pass through a large jungle, and the cavalry will slow down the march considerably. Moreover, if you encounter an orc on the march, the cavalry will not only be unable to fight, but will also become a breakthrough for the enemy. ”
"Your Majesty said yes."
The proposal was rejected by Xia Qi, but Zhang Liang's face was not clear.
He himself did not agree with the cavalry marching in the jungle, and the reason why he asked this was only out of his consciousness as a courtier.
Xia Qi pondered for a moment and said, "In this crusade, except for the Bear's Imperial City Guards, I plan to use all orcs. ”
"As for the general of the unified army, let Li Chuan serve as it. That kid had done very well in his previous battles with the orcs of the Bitter Cold Lands, and had accumulated a lot of experience in fighting the orcs. ”
The northern wall of Luronse has now been built, and according to the Scouts, the bears of the Bitter Cold Lands are not present in the central region at this time. I think there will be no battle on Lulongse's side in the near future.
And what made Xia Qi really make up his mind was the return of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
Since the news sent by the Southern Expeditionary Army last time, they are now not far from Tianxiong Pass, and now they may have all boarded the ship to return to Great Xia City.
When the Southern Expeditionary Army returned, Xia Qi planned to let them be stationed in the mountain city.
While recuperating, they can also be used as a support army, whether it is New Rock or Lulongse, no matter which side is attacked, they can support at that time.
Straight to the point.
Xia Qi began to draw up the number of troops that needed to be mobilized for this crusade.
Four elephant men, 500 double-sword war wolves, 800 kobold short spearmen, 500 red fox archers, 500 minotaur infantry, 300 panda warriors, and 800 goblin crossbowmen.
plus the former thousand Imperial City Praetorian Guards and lion men, as well as the thousand human troops who accompanied Li Chuan on the expedition.
The total strength of this expedition has exceeded 5,000!
The most important thing is that more than half of the troops are orcs.
If it is converted into human strength, the total strength of this wave is properly tens of thousands.
Xia Qi made up his mind this time to give the orc force in the east a hard blow.
If you can't wipe them all out, you'll have to cripple them half.
Orders to mobilize troops were quickly sent to the various orc tribes, and the forces of all sides began to move rapidly, and then marched towards New Stone City.
Gradually, they gathered into a large army and began to march towards the east.
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, more than ten days had passed.
Some time ago, the first batch of iron ore mined from that large open-pit iron mine had already been transported back to Great Xia City.
After smelting, all of them have been turned into iron ingots.
It's just that Xia Qi is not in a hurry to forge these iron ingots into concrete things.
Although he can be promoted to the Iron Civilization by doing Great Xia in that way, according to his understanding of the civilized battlefield, maybe after Great Xia is promoted to civilization, he will be given the whole thing
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What a moth.
Maybe it will have an impact on his crusade.
In addition, there are still too few iron ingots now, and it is not too late to hoard more iron ingots before proceeding to the next step.
It is also worth mentioning that the iron ore waste after smelting is not discarded.
Xia Qi had previously obtained a drawing of cement production, in which iron ore waste residue was needed.
With cement, the speed of building the city wall in Great Xia can be further accelerated.
A few days later, the Southern Expeditionary Army finally returned to Great Xia City.
The group looked at the still prosperous Great Xia City in front of them, and their faces all showed a look of sudden isolation.
They had been far away from Great Xia and this civilized world for too long.
The return of the Southern Expeditionary Army added a force to Great Xia.
Subsequently, Xia Qi personally summoned the white wolf and Wang Meng and rewarded them with a large amount of property, cloth, etc. After that, let them go down and rest first.
The other side.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, and the fact that no one escaped from the previous annihilation of the hyena people, the orc force did not know that they had been discovered by Great Xia.
When the appointed time was reached, they carried the food and headed for the hyena people's camp.
On the other hand, the Eastern Expeditionary Army of Great Xia also passed the hyena man camp, and after choosing a nearby target, they began to march.
As a result, on the way, the Crusade Army collided with the orc force's grain delivery team.
There was nothing to say, and the Eastern Crusade army immediately roared and killed it.
Seeing this, the hyena man, who was in charge of transporting grain and grass, was so frightened that he left the grain cart and turned around and ran.
The number of the other party is dozens of times as many as theirs, if you don't run, will you still rush up to die?
Hyena people don't have such awareness.
But the question is, can they run?
Not to mention that the speed of the Twin Blade Wolf is much faster than them, and don't forget that there are also ranged troops in the Eastern Crusade army.
A hyena man runs frantically and overtakes one companion after another.
It thought very clearly in its heart that every more companion it surpassed would give it a better chance of escaping.
Perhaps, when it passes the news back, it will be favored by the Queen.
At the thought of the smugness, the hyena man couldn't help but gigei a strange laugh.
While it was still immersed in a sweet dream, a short spear came at a rapid pace, and before the hyena man could react, the short spear had already penetrated its body.
It's kobolds!
In this round of short spear throwing, dozens of hyena people were immediately pierced through the body by the short spear.
This round of attacks directly frightened these hyena people, and even the speed of escape was a little slower.
Richard seized this gap and led his double-knife wolf to rush forward, and dozens of hyenas died on the spot.
The rest of the Crusade did not intervene, but surrounded the hyenas.
The surrounded hyena people are going crazy at this time, what is the situation?
Kobolds, werewolves, foxes, lionmen, bears, minotaurs, where did these orcs come from?
Why do they get mixed up with those humans?
Why do they attack them?
However, these questions were not answered until their death.
With the cooperation of kobolds and werewolves, these hyenas were wiped out in less than twenty minutes.
After the war, some people cleared the battlefield, while others stayed in place and rested.
Li Chuan was holding a map in his hand, according to the map that he had previously copied from the hyena people, according to the map, they were not far from the next orc camp.
The army of the Eastern Crusade marched for half a day
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Fang's orc camp was already in sight.
Li Chuan, who was checking the situation through the binoculars, had a look of surprise on his face.
The development speed of this group of orcs is much faster than he imagined.
Originally, he thought that the other party would build a simple camp at best, but he didn't expect that they had already built a small city, and they had also built a decent ring of walls on the periphery.
At the head of the city, there are even a few hyena people on duty.
It looks like that's the case.
However, Li Chuan didn't pay too much attention to this, in front of the four elephant men, this small city wall was completely useless.
But know that these are all made by a group of indigenous orcs.
It was only now that Li Chuan understood why His Majesty insisted on waging war against these orcs.
These orcs are now able to do what they are now, and if they are allowed to develop for a few more years, it will definitely be even more difficult to deal with by then.
It was inevitable that Great Xia would use troops against these orcs, because they were too close to Great Xia, and even if they didn't start a war now, they would still start a war in the future.
Again, in this world, it is enough to have a civilization in Great Xia.
Then, the army paused its march and rested in place, while Li Chuan called the commanders of the various troops.
In this battle, Li Chuan had no intention of using stratagem.
According to their current strength, if they want to capture such a small orc city, it can almost be said that it is effortless, and they deliberately arrange a strategy, but it is an extra move.
As the horn of war sounded, the Crusade army began to march towards this small orc city.
As soon as the army advanced, the four bear men who were opening the way in front of them just appeared, and the hyena people standing at the top of the wall suddenly had their eyes full of horror.
By the time they saw the Crusade behind the elephants, the fear in the hearts of the hyenas had reached their peak, and their bodies retreated uncontrollably.
"What happened?"
A tall hyena man appears, and she is the queen of the hyena people.
And next to the hyena queen, there is also a wild boar man.
This small city is not unique to the hyena people, and with their strength, they can't build this small city alone.
Another orc force in the town is the Boar People.
The movement of the Eastern Crusade Army was so big that there was no need for a warning, and the orcs in the city had already noticed it.
"Queen, an army has appeared outside the city, and there are elephant men among them." The leader of the hyena squad, who was on duty before, said.
The tone was full of respect.
"Elephant Man?"
The Hyena Queen's eyes flashed with puzzlement, the Elephant People have always been docile and do not attack other orc races under normal circumstances, but why is it here now, and it still looks bad?
Wait a minute!
The hyena queen suddenly noticed that the four-headed elephant man in front of her was much taller than the elephant man in her impression.
This is not an elephant man on their side at all!
Thinking of that Great Xia again, the hyena queen suddenly suddenly.
I had heard the orcs who fled from the Great Forest here before say that there were orcs in the so-called Great Xia, and now it seems that it is really true.
None of this matters, the important thing is that the army on the opposite side has already hit them!
"Are you still stupid to do what you're doing? Don't hurry up and blow the horn yet! ”
The hyena man, who heard the order of the hyena queen, did not dare to rub it off, and hurriedly blew the horn of the assembly.
The sound of the horn caused a riot among the human slaves working in the city.
After hearing the sound of the horn, a large number of orcs with weapons quickly rushed towards the location of the city gate, and in the blink of an eye, they had already gathered into a group of black presses.
