Chapter Twenty-Six: Encountering the Enemy

It was decided to send troops, but it was delayed until three days later.

It was not that Hudson was deliberately delaying, it was mainly that the army of the Principality of Moxey, which was traveling with him, was not ready.

Looking at the efficiency, you can know that it has nothing to do with the speed of the soldiers.

Fighting in a foreign country, without the cooperation of the local army, it is very difficult to operate.

The Moxies were not in a hurry, and Hudson naturally didn't worry about them.

After such a show, he finally figured out why the Augsburg defense line fell so quickly.

It is not that the officers and soldiers at the front line are ineffective, but that the bureaucratic system is simply sluggish.

Looking at this reaction speed, you can know that the bureaucrats of the Principality of Moxi still stay at the level of the civil war of the Terran countries.

But the problem is that the orcs never talk about martial virtues, so they won't be ready at all, so they attack slowly.

Bathed in the morning light, the army finally embarked on its journey.

All the high-ranking officials of the Principality of Moxi personally came forward to see him off, and the etiquette was impeccable.

Crown Prince Caesar also appeared in the ranks, and compared to the unhappy parting a few days ago, his mental state has now adjusted.

Looking at the spring on his face, Hudson knew that he had a lot of fun in the last few days.

Of course, Hudson is happy now, too. Before the army set out for the expedition, the Mossi people also gave a generous gift.

In this respect, there is nothing wrong with bureaucracy. At least in terms of human sophistication, it is steady.

The hands of the man were short, and Hudson was very cooperative on the march.

The army of the Principality of Moxie travels as many miles a day, and the Leytershire legion follows as many miles as it does, never delaying time.

……

In the orc camp, a large number of troops gathered, and the flags flew all over the sky, and the scene was very spectacular.

There are many people and many things, and an empire governed by five major royal families has never had anything to do with unity.

When dealing with the Terrans, the five royal families are allies. In normal times, everyone is a competitor.

Forced by the threat of the human race, the overlord of the continent, the five royal families of the orcs were able to sit together and talk about problems.

If there is no external threat, they can do it themselves.

The end of the hegemony of the Orc Continent is half the credit of the Terrans, and half is the result of their internal fighting.

Around the choice of the main direction of attack, the five royal families have been arguing for a month, and they are still at a stalemate.

The Lion Clan and the Silver Moon Wolf Clan advocated continuing to attack the Duchy of Moxi, while the Beamon and Eagle Clan proposed to turn around and attack the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Bear Clan said that both sides would be fine.

Both sides have their own reasons, and neither can convince the other.

As the army continued to converge, the direction of attack had not yet been determined, and the five royal families were also a little anxious.

"We can't go any further!

According to the information we have gathered, reinforcements from the Alpha Kingdom have entered the Duchy of Moxi and are about to reach the front line.

Reinforcements from other Terran countries are now also starting one after another. In the next month, the Duchy of Moxi will be able to receive reinforcements from at least five countries.

The Terran Alliance meeting is about to be held, if we don't make a breakthrough on the battlefield as soon as possible and attract all races on the mainland to join this war, we will be driven back again! ”

The Eagle Emperor said indifferently.

The orcs are honored by the strong.

He took the lead in making a breakthrough in the Duchy of Moxie and achieved the greatest result since the beginning of the war, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced his voice power.

Seeing that the strategic advantages that were hard-won continued to disappear in the quarrel, the anger of the Eagle Man Emperor also rose.

"The Eagle Emperor doesn't have to worry, we all know the efficiency of the Terran Alliance meeting, and it won't be fruitful without a year and a half.

The Terran Alliance is not fully involved, and only a few Terran countries in the Northland are not our opponents at all.

Don't look at the countries that are sending reinforcements to the Principality of Moxi, in fact, they are all a group of unpopular goods.

If you look at the reaction of the Alpha Kingdom, they themselves are not optimistic that their allies will be able to hold us off.

It seems that reinforcements were sent immediately, but a lot of energy was also put into the construction of a new defensive line.

Countless wars in the past have proved that it is unrealistic to pull the Terrans from the continental hegemony at once, and the best way is to gradually encroach on their territory.

The Principality of Moxi is indeed easy to take down, but it is also easy for the Terrans to take it back.

Located between the Alpha Kingdom and the Warhammer Kingdom, this kind of strategic location will not be tolerated by the Terrans.

In comparison, the Warhammer Kingdom next door is different.

To the north is the Ice and Snow World, where only a few declining races are entrenched, and the climate is completely unstable.

There are only a few small Terran countries to the west of Exi, and it is estimated that before we can fight, those elves will take them down first.

Take the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Duchy of Moxi is still in our pocket.

At that time, we can completely spend time with the Terrans in the Duchy of Moxi, wait and see how the situation on the continent changes, and then make the next decision.

If the tribes join in, we will continue the war; If the situation is eroded, then abandon the Duchy of Moxi and hold on to the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom.

After digesting the results of the battle, the next war will continue to settle accounts with the Terrans. ”

Crown Prince Alex calmly analyzed.

In the last war, the Orc Empire took some northern provinces of the Alpha Kingdom, and everyone reaped the dividends.

After so many years of development, the strength of the orc empire has increased by one or two percent compared to before the last war.

This may not seem like a large number, but for a race that is struggling to survive in the cracks, any increase in strength is significant.

Realizing the benefits of cannibalization, the Beamon people's mindset has also changed. Instead of pursuing the hegemony of destroying the human race in World War I, he has instead advocated the strategy of encroachment.

"Alex, you're thinking too well. The Terrans are not stupid, how can they watch us continue to encroach on their territory and do nothing?

The last time it was an accident, but this kind of accident definitely doesn't happen often.

If we take the Warhammer Kingdom, the Terran Alliance will definitely counterattack at all costs.

I'm afraid that if you don't say that you will hold the Warhammer Kingdom, even the land we occupy now will lose a lot.

The only way to hold on to the loot is to inflict heavy losses on the Terrans, leaving them with no time to take care of us.

The top priority is to destroy the Duchy of Moxi as soon as possible, sweep away the bunch of small countries behind them, and then turn around and destroy the Alpha Kingdom and the Warhammer Kingdom.

As long as we're fast enough, it's entirely possible to complete most of these strategies before Terran reinforcements arrive.

What's more, the enemies of the human race are all over the continent, and only if there are major changes in the northland, the races will not be idle.

When the time comes, the entire continent will be in chaos, and the Terran Alliance won't even have the energy to send reinforcements!"

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor retorted.

As a radical among the orcs, he didn't want to give up halfway.

It was not easy to gain the strategic initiative, if you don't slaughter the human race, I don't know when the next time will be.

In his opinion, the Eagle Emperor is by nature. Accustomed to secretly playing black hands, he didn't dare to confront the Terrans head-on.

Alex's choice, it's even simpler. In the last war, it was the cannibalization plan of Emperor Beamon that was carried out.

As the crown prince, if he overthrows his own Lao Tzu's strategy, wouldn't he think his position is too stable and want to find excitement?

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the strategy, you have to fight it out.

In my opinion, it is better to tear through the defenses of the Duchy of Moxi first and annihilate their main force.

Dealing with this part of the enemy will make it easier to destroy the Duchy of Moxi or reverse course to attack the Warhammer Kingdom. ”

The Bear Man Emperor said nonchalantly.

Looking at that lazy appearance, it doesn't look like an emperor at all, but more like a lazy bear.

Adjusting the contradictions between the two sides, he doesn't have the ability. Come up with a better strategy, and you can't do it either.

The only thing that I am good at is to jump out at a critical moment and ease the contradictions between the two sides.

"The Terence Line of the Duchy of Moxi, although it is not as good as the Augsburg Line, but now that they have a heavy garrison, it is not easy to take it.

Unless we take the risk of crossing their fortress and leading a large army to attack the city of Dapest, and force them to call in the main force for a decisive battle! ”

The Lion Emperor on the side said with a sneer.

The border defense line of the Principality of Moxi is also hundreds of miles. At such a long distance, it is naturally impossible to be all fortresses.

In most areas, only the walls were built. Only important passes and strategic points were built with strong fortresses.

As for the rest of the area, it takes five to ten miles before a castle is set up.

The defense can only be regarded as average, it is okay to block a small group of orcs, and it is only a matter of time before the army falls.

Theoretically, the orc army could break through the defenses at any time if they wanted to.

But the problem is that the fortress fortress on the road must be passed through has not been taken, and the logistics may be cut off at any time.

To feed the war with war, just listen to it. If you really start fighting, you will find that the loot is far from being consumed.

Even if the orcs are not picky eaters, the consumption of more than 600,000 troops is not something that can be easily satisfied.

Even if food is not considered, some necessary supplies are also indispensable.

Sneak attack, that is built on the unprepared condition of the enemy.

The Moxi army along the way is not dead, and the orc army has broken through, and this kind of news will definitely be transmitted back as soon as possible.

A big city with preparation cannot be taken in three or five days.

In the face of life and death, the aristocratic bureaucracy is also able to fight hard. The aristocratic lord who seems to have a big belly can also kill people with a knife.

With perfect city fortifications and various magical black technologies, the price to be paid for storming Dapest City is definitely not small.

A quick fix, just a joke.

Forcing the main force of the Principality of Moxi to come out of the fortress for a decisive battle is a complete gamble of luck.

Not only do you have to bet on the principality's top brass to make wrong decisions, but you also have to bet that the noble generals on the front line are all good children and listen to the orders of the principality 100%.

……

Without the oil bottle, leading a large army to gallop across the land of the Duchy of Moxie, Hudson only felt relaxed.

It's a pity that there is a group of followers behind him.

Now he finally understood why Prime Minister Hercheg wanted to find him closely, and he felt that it was his son who led the Mossi army this time.

Looking at the performance of Moxie's army, you can see that this is another improvised private army of nobles and nobles.

Except for a small number of soldiers who are elite, most of them are rabble. The duration of the training is not more than three months.

Soldiers who did not even complete basic military training were sent to the battlefield.

The fact that the quality of the soldiers has dropped to this point is enough to prove how hard the Duchy of Mossi resisted.

Just defending the city, it doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. It's nothing more than exchanging lives for lives, and the three northern kingdoms are now playing with orcs for their lives.

Smart people are different, knowing that the front line is full of dangers, and they arranged their children to a safe area early.

Compared with the local army, which is responsible for defending the territory, the guest army undoubtedly has a much higher degree of freedom, and can flash people in case of danger.

Especially with Hudson, the survivability on the battlefield is much higher.

With a group of second-generation children on the battlefield, Hudson could only lament that it was not a good thing to be too famous.

With so many people staring, it's inconvenient to do anything. In case of a major defeat, a large number of second-generation children will be killed, even the guest army will not be able to bear it.

The only good thing is that the likelihood of becoming cannon fodder is greatly reduced.

When it comes to so many powerful children, not to mention special care when assigning tasks, at least they will not receive lifeless tasks.

Of course, the main thing is that Hudson hinted at the Moses with practical actions: the mission to the dead will not be done.

The fight with Crown Prince Caesar was not in vain. On the territory of the Moxies, the quarrel of the day naturally reached the ears of these magnates.

A guest army that can fight, but is not very obedient. When everyone is helpless, it also makes some smart people see a different kind of opportunity.

Children who need special arrangements from their parents will naturally not be able to have much personal ability. The children of the real elite have long served in the army and devoted themselves to the battle to defend the country.

The rest of the children are all good and bad, and it is not okay for them to go to the battlefield, but they are proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but they have military service and cannot avoid it, so they must go to the battlefield for a while.

Unfortunately, Hudson became more and more cautious. Glancing into the distance, he immediately ordered:

The order was given, and half of the heavily armored infantry put on their armor and marched forward. The scout horse went out for thirty miles to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and pay close attention to all the strange movements around him. ”

There's nothing wrong with being careful. Although the chances of a large orc army crossing the line and driving straight ahead of the line go undetected are low, it does not mean that there are none.

If you encounter it, you will suffer a big loss if you are not prepared.

As soon as the words landed, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Viscount Hudson, you are being too cautious. This is the hinterland of the principality, and it is still a hundred miles away from the front line, and even if you encounter an orc army, there is only a small group of miscellaneous soldiers who accidentally break in.

If a large force breaks through the barrier, it is impossible for the defenders on the front line not to send back information. With the strength of your army, there is no need to worry at all! ”

Glancing at the fat man behind him, Hudson replied angrily: "Viscount Raquel, we are going to fight, not to go outing."

Any negligence has the potential to bring huge losses to the troops. Everything else can be lost, but don't forget that we only have one life.

If you fall into the hands of the orcs, what will happen to you, you don't want to experience it! ”

As he spoke, Hudson's mind had already appeared: a fat man fell into the hands of an orc, tied to a barbecue grill, and the two soldiers couldn't lift it.

Weighing more than five hundred pounds, it is full of fat as far as the eye can see, and it is definitely the best food for orcs.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the sound sounded, and the marching team silently moved out of the way, allowing the horses to gallop on the road.

"Commander, the traces of the orc army have been found thirty miles ahead, and the specific number is still in the process of being identified."

Hearing this bad news, Hudson was almost thundered. Raquel's crow's mouth, which he had just said would not collide with the orc army, ran into it so quickly.

I can't bear it, so that's it for today, don't wait.
