Chapter 48: The Battle of the Southern Plains II
Bella didn't mean to let go of the 13 8th-order half-orcs, at this time, if she could leave one more, the future battle would be easier, because of Lawn's sudden addition, the advantage gained, whether it was Lawn or Bella, would not let go, and the battle was far from reaching the level that could be called tired.
Although it is a bit of a pity, let the half-minotaur who got it escape, and the unlucky half of the arm was also taken away, I think it will still be cured, but at this time, it is better to concentrate on leaving a few more in his chagrin!
The order to retreat was given, but the battle around Raun was more intense, no need to think about anything else, whether it was a human or a half-orc, at this time only the battle was needed, the elite half-orcs were ready to desperately cover their patriarch to escape, and the human soldiers could not let them get their wish, fortunately, Shunan, who had a free hand, took two 8th-order masters who served in the defense line to help, so that the mother and son could concentrate on the battle, but there were only two opponents left.
The two patriarchs are both half-orcs of the feline family, although it is really impossible to determine whether it is a cat or a leopard or a tiger, and they really can't be asserted by their ears alone, but they don't know where to be blessed with the two 8th orders of bloodthirsty magic, not to mention that the orcs are already higher than the combat power of the 1st order of humans, and they don't care about the violent increase in the combat power of bloodthirsty magic, just the crazy demon-like attack, I know that these two are not ready to leave alive!
Bella didn't dare to easily fight against the two crazy orcs, just kept delaying and didn't let the two retreat, once the statute of limitations of the bloodthirsty spell passed, these two would be over, there was no need to fight with the mortal person, however, this spirit of desperately covering his colleagues made Lawn different, I don't know if these two are particularly affectionate, or simply a battle maniac!
Bella was pinned, the human legion naturally did not dare to pursue, fortunately, the results were not cheap, although the half-minotaur will recover soon, but on the first day, he left the opponent's 4 highest combat power, which is already a good result, although according to Lawn's estimate, I am afraid that these masters will not appear again in the future, Lawn They must face the onslaught of the opponent's soldiers, in other words, today, Lawn won, but Lawn has already begun to plan to retreat.
It's a very realistic problem, Bella is just a person! The master of the battle against Bella completed his task, but I have to admit that the loss of ordinary soldiers is far more human than that of half-orcs, which is naturally for the rescue of Bella, for the sake of a fight. However, Bella's victory at least ensured that at the level of the highest combat power, the two major armies of Nanlin were undefeated, and all that remained was to see how many soldiers were consumed to make the other party retreat.
In the face of more than a million orcs, it is impossible to talk about losing an inch of land, these can only be considered in the future, and now it depends on which city everyone can stop the orcs. Soon, the two severed patriarchs were exhausted and stayed on the battlefield forever, without much sympathy, and the huge casualties of human beings in the future were worthy of sympathy.
At night, a message left Nanyuan City, the target was the royal capital, the high-level combat power was victorious, the victory was imminent, and the royal capital was asked to send soldiers to reinforce! Lauen believed that this good news would definitely be exchanged for reinforcements, which was equivalent to inviting the group of officials and lords of the royal capital to share the war exploits, the situation was unclear before, and there was no news about the delayed support, and this good news was sent back, presumably it would not take a few days for the reinforcements to be in place, and at that time, I think I could also use the combat power of the army directly under the royal family to carry out a counteroffensive.
The battle did not wait until the next day to restart, less than 1 hour after the orcs faded, Nanyuan City had to stop repairing the city wall, it was very single, the half-orcs came back with a large army! In the extreme distance, there were 5 8th-order half-orcs sitting in the town, as if they had the ability to let Bella go again, but this super long distance, Bella went, it must be a siege-attack situation, and Lawn did not have the ability to reach such a long distance.
The battle between the masters is indeed over, but the war of attrition has just begun, and Lawne suddenly thinks of a question, is it possible that the Orc Plateau has been breeding for many years, so that there are too many Orcs, so that they have to find more habitats? Otherwise, the battle here has become a pure war of attrition, and there is really no need to continue!
There will be no orcs to tell Lawne the answer, the city wall that collapsed in less than half an hour, but told Lawn that they may be stronger than them, and the generally superb quality of soldiers is their real advantage! Lawn's optimism is too early, and the high-level battle will end directly just because of the loss of four and a half combat strength, which may mean that the other party is not ready to rely on this to win at all!
The battle was raging outside, and several high-level officials, uh, to put it bluntly, had a meeting with the Lawne family. Seeing this, Lawne also understood why Pru was suspicious of his son, the high-level meeting was basically a family gathering, if it weren't for the obedient captain next to him, Lawne himself doubted that the family would have plotted to rebel.
The city wall has been riddled with holes, and at this time, both sides are undoubtedly in a field battle, and Xiu Nan knows that his legion will be exhausted if he fights the opponent's 400,000 combat power at most, and when the time comes, it will be the half-orcs who will drive straight in. Therefore, Shunan must keep enough troops to keep fighting the orcs! Now, he wants Raun to find a way to do this.
Bella wanted to transfer her own legion, but Raun didn't dare, the timing chosen by the orcs was too good, at least half of the mother's legion should stay on the front line of the Warcraft battlefield, but the support of 1 million couldn't beat the orcs, and the result of the long journey was that the tired soldiers of the human race faced the recuperated orcs, and even the attack and defense could be the half-orcs defending the city, and the humans attacking the city. So, Raun just sent a message for Bella's legion to assemble in the southern part of Nanlinshire, where the capital city of Nanlin is located, and try to hold off the orcs there, because that place is special.
Bypassing there, the orcs can reflexively invade Nan'an and Nanshi County, which will give the orcs too much room to turn, and Lawn does not dare to fight a sports war with the orcs, and the human soldiers can't catch up with them. It's a pity that the new city may not be needed, it may only become the base camp of the counterattack-attack orcs, and the turning point is that the 1 million troops supported by Bella will be unstoppable in Nanlin City!
Don't talk about the future, now Nanyuan City can't stop it!
Mobile warfare, humanity will be defeated. But the problem now is that Shunan's legion is being dragged in Nanyuan City, and the orcs will not stop attacking day and night! Even at night it is more beneficial to the orcs. If you want to retreat, there seems to be no other way than to survive with a broken tail, but even so, there is no guarantee that the orcs will not divide their forces to pursue. The sheer number and sheer quality of the half-orcs made Lawn feel at a loss for what to do, but fortunately, the half-fox people were destroyed, otherwise the current situation would be even worse.
With a long breath, Lawne said lightly, which one has the courage to break through directly into the Orc Plateau? We will break through to the Wilderness City, and withdraw the people of the Former Ying City, halfway, I need someone to take the most elite part of 3~50,000 people, go directly south, go around the path to the rear of the Orcs, interrupt their supply lines, and maneuver with the Orcs on the plateau.
Xiunan's gaze fell directly on Cassie, if nothing else, when it came to high-speed assault, Xiunan's first reaction was Cassie. Lawn very much hopes that it is someone else, this is almost a mission to die, it sounds like the most elite soldiers, the most direct purpose, is just to distract the orcs, it is best to go directly to the pursuit of this only the most significant threat to their empty rear, so that most of the main force of the legion can leave Nanyuan City safely, and use the city of Wilderness City again, which can allow humans to consume tens of thousands of half-orcs at the least cost.
One step back, Lawne didn't know how many tails he could break, but there was no way, they had less time except for the soldiers, so they could at least buy a little time.
Cassie did not hesitate, Shunan has always had a very special status in Cassie's eyes, Cassie respects Shunan very much, and when he saw Shunan looking at him, he accepted the order without hesitation.
"Cassie, one hundred kilometers south of the original No. 1 camp, there is an iron mine, and there are supplies I threw away in the mine, you can find a way to hide there! In the Orc Plateau, you don't have to make much success, find a way to avoid the pursuit of the Orcs, just find a place to hide, if the Orcs don't chase, you will make trouble again, in short, you can't let the rear of the Orcs be peaceful!"
Lawne is equivalent to exempting Cassie from the combat mission and leading away the enemy, but Lawn knows that it must be the centaurs who are chasing them, because only they are the most suitable for running, and Lawn is most afraid of the centaurs, with them, Lawn does not feel that the large army can escape safely.
Unconsciously, many recruits who are not elite began to plug the gaps in the city wall, and the most elite soldiers were replaced instead, and the external saying is that the captain of the Bella Legion led the elite to attack the half-orc battle formation again, as long as the half-orcs began to withdraw, the humans also withdrew to the Wilderness City, and used the city wall there to resist the half-orcs again!
Each with hope, each set off again with their own missions! Bella held Raun in the distance and constantly released spells, rumbling spells echoed, slightly calming the group of soldiers who were used as cannon fodder, they may think that it was Bella and Captain Raune fighting, and soon, the orcs would retreat as they had just done!
A full 100,000 recruits were abandoned in Nanyuan City, for the upper half of the orcs, their immature skills basically could not cause casualties, fortunately, a lot of veterans were placed in the team, barely maintained a direct rout, and the remaining more than 700,000 people, a direct and orderly part of the impact on the half-orc team from the west city gate, and at the same time covered the 30,000 most elite soldiers led by Cassie to break through to the south, these 30,000 people are the last direct elite of Xiunan, all of them were given to Cassie, and the rest have been killed. The remaining large troops were divided into three batches, each with nearly 200,000 troops, and withdrew to Yuanye City and then Yuansha and Yuanji Cities.
Raun really hoped that the two 8th-orders hidden in the army would do what Cassie was going to do, but unfortunately, these people ran out of courage because of their high ranks. As for the three batches, it is because after these three cities, it is the boundary of Nanlin County, and there will be three bloody battles here, no matter how many enemies are killed, these people have almost completed their tasks, and their souls have returned to heaven and earth.
A retreat is not a coaxing of a scheme, millions of people, just planning to be destroyed in just four cities, the first time such a decision was made, Raun is very grateful for the trust of Shunan and Bella, so that he can act so recklessly, in fact, no one can do it, can borrow the power of the city, almost consume more than 100,000 half-orcs, it is already the best ending, if Shunan and Bella command, their choice must be a bloody battle in the wilderness, burning embers Fang Xiu, compared to this, the two of them feel that relying on the city can indeed play some role.
Watching Cassie leave at high speed with the most elite warriors turned into cavalry, he took all the horses with him, if the centaurs are also horses, then Cassie also led away 30,000 centaurs by the way, which is also the last number of high-speed mobile troops in the orcs, everything, it depends on these infantry.
Lawn listened to Nanyuan City gradually fall silent, I don't know how long it took, in short, Nanyuan City, it's over! And the culprit of everything is himself? Lawn is not sure, he can't seem to believe that the war is like this, just a few words, 300,000 lives are lost in Nanyuan City!
Bella didn't know her son's guilt, but Bella, who was used to war, thought that Raun was a genius, whether it was the initial strategy or the tactics of defending the city, it was impeccable, because the casualties of 300,000 humans took away almost 200,000 half-orcs, such a ratio has already satisfied Bella, in Bella's heart, her husband Shunan's troops can consume 300,000 half-orcs to complete the task, now it seems, it is not difficult!
However, there is too much credit for Laune, and now that the consumption of mental power is becoming more and more serious, how long can Lauun last?
