Chapter 41: The Golden Ratio of Monroyeia
Upon receiving a message from the Tanma, Hudson immediately summoned the officers for a meeting. Although he didn't know who the Beamon cavalry was besieging and killing, it didn't affect him to join in the fun.
Originally, I thought about leading the cavalry to help the field first, but after hesitating, I decided to forget it. If you are not a relative, you can't take risks for a group of strangers.
Anyway, the battle is still in a stalemate, and it will not be possible to tell the winner for a while. The most important thing is that the temptation to besiege a Beamon cavalry regiment is too great.
Just lead the cavalry regiment over, at most help to break the siege. If you want to leave the enemy behind, it is simply impossible.
Hudson had never heard of the war for so long, and the Beamon Cavalry Regiment had been annihilated.
With equal strength, alone in the field, his cavalry regiment was definitely no match for the Bimon cavalry.
β¦β¦
"News came from Tanma that a Bimon cavalry had appeared in front of them, besieging and killing a group of unidentified people.
Judging from the location in the field, this Terran team is likely to be a survivor who escaped from Bethel Fortress.
Everyone heard the explosion just now. It was the nobles of Bethel City who used a special trick to die with the orcs.
They defended the dignity of our race with their lives. Now that their descendants are being chased and killed by orcs, and we happen to bump into each other, how can they sit idly by!
Even if I misjudge, those who are hunted down are still members of my human race. Saving from the orcs is always right.
According to the news from Tanma, the fighting between the two sides was very fierce, and the number of Beamon cavalry still alive was about eight or nine hundred.
A thousand-strong Beamon cavalry regiment, if you want to annihilate them all on the battlefield, the strength of our cavalry regiment alone is far from enough.
So I decided to select 3,000 elites and go out with the cavalry regiment.
Baron Katelai, Baron Calvo, Baron Reno, Knight of Sitting, Knight of Ball, Knight of Field, ...... Take the lead in elite guards and go with me.
Baron Berio, Knight of Guarente, Knight of Nelson, Knight of Adrian...... You're in charge of staying behind.
Viscount Raquel, if there are nobles in the newly formed 23rd Legion who are willing to participate, they can also lead the elite to participate.
The soldiers were very fast, and the people who were named immediately went to count the soldiers and horses. β
Hudson said unquestioningly.
The nobles he selected were all private armies with strong combat effectiveness, and they all had their own cavalry teams.
Half of the cavalry regiment in the Lyteshire Regiment was contributed by these people. This kind of opportunity to brush up on combat exploits can't be said without them.
Three thousand elites is just an imaginary number, mainly based on the number of elites in the hands of these guys, plus the elite veterans of the mountain collar, and the approximate data finally given.
A little more or less will not have much impact on the final result. The only pity is that the number of war horses is not enough, so I can only use the horses to make up.
Thanks to the selfless dedication of the bureaucrats in the logistics department, it would not have been easy to gather 3,000 horses.
Deep down, Hudson had decided to expand the cavalry. This battle is the best opportunity, as long as the Beamon cavalry regiment is encircled and annihilated, and more battle losses are reported later.
This kind of thing is impossible to delve into at all. has dazzling combat exploits, even if you know that there is a problem with the battle damage. The Moses still want him to continue to work hard, and they will also fill it with lake paint.
What's more, he hasn't eaten alone, and the second generation of the newly formed 23rd Army has also left a copy. As long as you have the courage to participate, you will gain something.
The new 23rd Army collapsed, that is, the overall quality of the soldiers was not up to par, and the guards who followed the second generation were still very capable of fighting.
β¦β¦
A loud bang in Bethel City not only alarmed the nearby orc army, but also the nearby Terran defenders.
The griffin cavalry's information from the high altitude converged as quickly as possible into the hands of the commander-in-chief of the front, Marshal Hodge.
When he first received the battle report, he suspected that someone was joking with him again.
The Leberon family is not a small nobleman. Even if it has been declining in recent decades, it is the old nobles who can rank in the top five in the principality. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
More than 10 generations, hundreds of years of long-term operation. Bethel Fortress completely. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 41: The Golden Ratio of Monroyeia
It can be called impregnable, and when it comes to defense capabilities, it can be ranked in the entire Duchy of Moxi.
Such a fortress giant city, Marshal Hodge never considered the possibility of falling. At the very least, it should not have fallen into the hands of the orc army at the beginning of the war.
According to the experience of the Alpha Kingdom, as long as the old nobles do not die, it is impossible for the orcs to break through their lair without a few months of strong attack.
It was useless not to believe it, the nearby defenders all gave similar battle reports, and personally sent griffon cavalry to reconnoitre, which also proved the fact that the Bethel fortress was in ruins.
As for how the orcs broke through the Bethel Fortress, no one could say for a while, but some people speculated that it was related to the earth-shattering explosion, and suspected that it was the orc's handiwork.
Fortunately, the griffin cavalry's reconnaissance was strong, and they found that the orc army had suffered heavy losses, which made Marshal Hodge breathe a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the orcs, if the orcs had the strength to easily destroy a fortress city, the battle that followed would not be able to be fought at all.
In fact, now Marshal Hodge doesn't know how to fight the next battle.
Fortress Bethel fell, and a huge vacuum gap appeared in the originally solid defense line.
From then on, armies of orcs can drive straight through here.
Although the defenders on both sides can also attack their logistics and transportation lines from the fortress.
The problem is that the orc armies are not as dependent on logistics as the Terran armies. In addition to a small amount of strategic materials, they can all use local materials for consumption such as eating, drinking, and Lazar.
"Harley, immediately summon the royal capital and inform him of the fall of Bethel Fortress.
Tell His Majesty the King that we do not have enough mobile forces in our hands to close the gap in the defensive line in time.
The construction of the follow-up defense line has not yet been completed, and it is unable to intercept the orc army from driving straight in. It is recommended that His Majesty the King expand the scope of the fortified wilderness.
It is better to include all the northern provinces of the principality, so as not to leave an opportunity for the orcs. β
As he spoke, Marshal Hodge's expression gradually darkened. "Solid walls and clear fields" is easy to say, but it is not an ordinary difficulty to implement.
The most realistic question, after the wall is cleared, the production is completely destroyed, what do the big guys eat?
Unlike the nobles on the front line, they have had the experience of being robbed by orc tribes and have enough sense of crisis.
Grain was stored in the castle early on, and with the subsidies of the principality, the fortified walls were quickly cleared. Initial Update@
Now that the area of the "Fortified Clear" has been expanded, the situation has changed. First of all, subsidies from the Principality are difficult to put in place.
Even if the finances can grit their teeth to support it, there is no way to immediately produce enough food.
Even if there is food in the rear, there is no guarantee that it will be delivered to the castles of the nobles before the orc army arrives.
Nobles who are wealthy, have enough sense of crisis, and know that they have stored grain in advance may be able to survive.
But most of the nobles, they didn't think about this problem at all, or even if they thought about it in advance, they didn't have enough financial resources to complete the reserves.
In fact, after the outbreak of the war, the nobility of the northern region also broke out a wave of panic buying food, but only the wealthy nobles were eligible to participate.
If a poor ghost wants to have more than two or three years of food reserves, there is almost no possibility. After all, as lords, they not only have to feed themselves, but also their people.
The autumn harvest has not yet been completed, and once the implementation of a comprehensive fortification and clearing of the wilderness and the cutting off of grain production, perhaps it will not last until the next year, and some people will run out of food.
It cannot solve the food shortage caused by the clear wall, and even if the king gives an order, it will be difficult to carry it out.
Knowing what to know, Marshal Hodge is still powerless. Who could have predicted that the first to fall would be the Bethel Fortress, which was the least likely to be lost?
Deep down, he couldn't do anything but angrily scold Earl Langton for being a waste and the Leberon family for being vain.
Even if you want to settle accounts after the autumn, you have to live. Judging from the information received so far, there is not a single piece of information to prove it: the Earl of Langton has run away.
As long as people don't run away and choose to live and die with the territory, then again. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 41: The Golden Ratio of Monroyeia
Big mistakes can only be forgiven.
Even when the final accountability is held, there is a high probability that he, the commander-in-chief of the front, will bear the blame. _o_m The charges are all ready-made - the rescue is not good.
It is impossible to ask for sin. As long as the king has not gone mad, he will not touch his commander-in-chief.
In any case, Marshal Hodge was also ordered at a time of crisis to take over the mess.
After taking office, although there were no outstanding achievements, at least the construction of a new line of defense was completed, and the orc army was blocked for two months before it was torn apart.
Compared with the previous ones, the defenders of the Augsburg defense line are all top students.
If you want to change people, you have to have a more powerful commander.
In the face of the crisis of national extinction, all disputes must be put on the back burner. Even if it is his political enemy, he will squirt two throats at most.
If he really picks on his son, the most anxious ones are the powerful people in the royal capital.
Everyone is smart and very aware of the current situation. If it could run, it is estimated that the transnational migration movement has already been in full swing.
It's a pity that the freedmen can run away, but their nobles can't. Not only can't they run, but even the children of the next generation can't run.
If you don't fulfill your noble obligations, not only will your ancestral inheritance be gone, but you will also have to face the pursuit of the entire Terran Alliance.
If you want to run for your life and leave, it's not completely out of the ordinary. But it is necessary to wait until the situation completely collapses before he can follow the king in a strategic shift.
Theoretically, this strategic shift is usually to run to a province that is easy to defend and continue to fight the orcs.
Exile can exist, but no king has set a precedent for this in the face of an orc invasion.
After all, three hundred years ago, it was the Empire of Light that ruled the north, and even if it didn't suppress the Orc Empire, it would not be left behind.
Next, the Alpha Kingdom is another hardcore nail household. There are many kings who have died in battle, but there are really no kings in exile.
At most, it was a one-time relocation. Even if he left the country under special circumstances, he would soon return and continue to preside over the resistance.
With this tenacity, the Alpha Kingdom won the respect of the Terran Alliance. With the support of various countries, it has been resurrected again and again.
β¦β¦
After a pause, as if thinking of something, Marshal Hodge hurriedly ordered:
"Chief of the Guard, immediately send someone to relay the news of the fall of Bethel Fortress to the legions that are changing their guards as quickly as possible."
After saying that, cold sweat broke out on Marshal Hodge's forehead. almost ignored the most critical issues in the past.
If the army that changed the guard was not prepared and had an encounter with the orc army in the wild, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even if there was an earth-shattering noise when Bethel Fortress fell, the nearby Terran army should be vigilant.
Marshal Hodge still chose to remind him again. After all, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds; There are many troops, and there are also commanders of all kinds.
Don't look at the usual shrewdness, but that's just politics. Some people's military literacy, that is, they really can't do it.
Even though these aristocratic officers have received military education since childhood, they still can't change the fact that the military level of some people is miserable.
The study of military knowledge only allows them to learn the rigid routine of machinery, and they cannot apply this military knowledge at all.
The problem of pure talent, just like the difference between a classmate bully and a scumbag, is really good, and if it is not good, it is really bad.
β¦β¦
Leading the troops on a mighty march, when he was about to approach the target, Hudson waved his hand: "Pass the order, everyone wrap the horses' hooves with cloth."
Now we will move separately, the cavalry regiment will follow me to the enemy's rear, the horse cavalry will be divided into three, and we will outflank the enemy in four ways.
Baron Katelai, Baron Calvo, Baron Reno, you all have experience in commanding cavalry battles, and the three teams will be handed over to you.
The members of the newly formed 23rd Legion also attacked from the front together with the horse cavalry led by Baron Kellet.
It's a rare opportunity, it's rare to have a lone Beamon cavalry regiment come to the door, and we must get them. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 41: The Golden Ratio of Monroyeia
Take them all. β
For some reason, when giving orders, Hudson always felt that something was wrong.
The "lone Beamon Cavalry Regiment", it seems that when the Beamon cavalry moved, most of them were regimental units.
In a frontal field battle, a thousand-man Beamon cavalry regiment can defeat a 10,000-strong army of ordinary people.
Like the newly formed 23rd Army Corps, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment is quite good, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to stop a charge of the Beamon Cavalry Regiment.
Even if you encounter the main army of the Terrans, even if you can't win, you can still run. Thinking that this kind of opportunity to pick up the leak will rarely appear.
Even if the horse's hooves were wrapped, when the army was about to approach, it was discovered by the warring parties.
There is no need to hide, it is all in sight, and no matter how much you hide, you can't hide it.
With the strength of the two families, nearly 5,000 troops spread out to surround them on all sides, and from a distance, the mountains and fields were full of Terran cavalry.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
Anthony, who was the first to notice all this, shouted in surprise.
The guards of the Leberon family, who were originally at a disadvantage and were in danger, instantly boosted their morale!
It doesn't matter where the reinforcements come from, as long as it is a Terran army, when facing the orc army, everyone is their own people.
Realizing that the general trend had gone, Officer Beamon, who had no intention of fighting, immediately shook off his opponent and ordered: "Withdraw!" β
It's a pity that it's all late. The Terran cavalry appeared in their sight, and their figures were also exposed to Hudson's group.
After fighting for so long, half of the guards of the Leberon family have fallen, and now that the opportunity for revenge has come, how can they be let go.
"Entangle them, can't let this group of Beamon escape!"
Anthony shouted.
It's true that two legs can't catch up with four, but there is still a power in this world - magic.
Several magicians who were holding magic cores to replenish their magic power could no longer care about their own consumption, and they all took out their ability to press the bottom of the box and released the retardation technique at the Beamon cavalry.
Frankly, this magic doesn't work well. While slowing down the enemy, it often affects the speed of one's own people's movements, and it is impossible to achieve accurate strikes.
However, there is no waste magic, there are only waste magicians. In special situations, retardation can also be very useful.
After a short delay, the distance between the two sides has been narrowed to only a few hundred meters, and the encirclement is closed.
"Whoosh ......"
Hudson's signature arrow missed, and it was already flying towards Beamon's cavalry. In an instant, four unlucky Beamons fell from the beast to the ground.
If you look closely, you will find that some of the cavalry have taken out the magic crossbow.
There was no firing, because the distance was too far for the cavalry to run, and it was impossible to aim.
The Beamon cavalry, who broke free from the entanglement and wanted to forcibly break through, became the first victims. Before he could rush up, he was shot directly into a sieve.
Looking at the Beamon cavalry, who was hit by multiple crossbow arrows, Hudson secretly cursed "loser".
The biggest feature of the magic crossbow is that it is expensive, and even the missing arrow must be specially made. Although there is the Principality of Moxie to bear, it can't be wasted casually.
In times of war, this scarce resource is not something that can be bought with money. Even if the Duchy of Moxi has a rich foundation, it is impossible to have too many reserves in his hands.
If they can't be replenished, these magical equipment become luxury toys.
Now is not the time to worry about this, these hundreds of trapped beasts on the field are still fighting, and they can bring a lot of losses to the coalition forces if they fight hard.
The Beamon cavalry died, and the beasts beneath him went crazy. In the blink of an eye, Hudson saw several horsemen and horsemen attacked by war beasts.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hudson hurriedly replenished the arrows of the insane masterless war beast, and at the same time ordered at the cavalry under his command: "Kill together with the war beast, you don't need to leave a mouth alive!" β
Frankly speaking, he is also very greedy for this Beamon war beast. It's a pity that in the continent of Aslanta, there is no precedent for the human race to domesticate the Beamon war beast.
According to the popular saying in the mainland, the Beamon War Beast and Beamon live and die together, and the Beamon Knight loses and dies in battle, and the War Beast will soon follow to death.
Truth can't be verified, but something that countless ancestors couldn't do, Hudson. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 41: The Golden Ratio of Monroyeia
I don't think I can do it.
Perhaps because of the outstanding performance just now, or perhaps because of the order to reveal the identity of their commander, the Beamon cavalry chose to break free from the entanglement of their opponents and rushed towards Hudson's position.
Deeply encircled, "capturing the king" is undoubtedly the best choice to break the predicament. Hudson sincerely appreciated the super high military quality displayed by the Mongolian cavalry.
Especially when these guys choose him as a breakthrough, it needs to be praised a lot. After all, the iron plate on this side is the hardest in the whole field.
Instead of running away from the weak point, but coming over and kicking the hardest iron plate, it can only be said that the luck of this Beamon cavalry is very good.
There was no need to give an order, the crossbowmen had already consciously aimed at the charging Beamon cavalry.
It can be said that every step forward is paved with the life of the Beamon Knight. Getting closer, the archers, who had long been impatient, also began their own performances.
After the two-wheeled cavalry shot, the Beamon cavalry, who was supposed to enter the hand-to-hand battle, suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and it seemed that the speed of their war beast suddenly slowed down.
Under the rain of arrows of the enemy, a sudden reduction in the pace of advance was absolutely catastrophic.
In the blink of an eye, teams of cavalry, spear in hand, appeared in front of Hudson.
The encirclement was shrinking more and more, and the members of the Leblung family, who had fought hard with the Beamon cavalry, gradually withdrew from the battlefield, leaving the stage to the cavalry.
Perhaps realizing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged officer Beamon's face turned pale. His intuition told him that this time he was a bad decision.
It is impossible to retreat, and the signal flare for help is shot. But this place is still dozens of miles away from the nearest orc army camp. Initial Update@
Except for the Hawkman Air Force, which has the opportunity to rush to support, the rest of the army can only collect their corpses even if they rush over.
Glancing at the magic crossbow in the enemy's hand, he knew that even if the Hawkman Air Force came over, it didn't seem to have much effect.
As if he had made up his mind, the middle-aged officer Beamon's eyes were full of blood, and the momentum around him suddenly soared, and regardless of the rain of arrows in the sky, he lifted the special knight's gun in his hand and jumped up to take Hudson's life.
Closer, closer!
Just when the knight's spear was less than thirty centimeters away from Hudson, it suddenly stopped, and no matter what, it could not pierce again.
Before he could react, a huge bear paw appeared in front of him, and then the whole person flew upside down.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the middle-aged Beamon was stupid! At the cost of a great injury, the blow in exchange for it ended like this.
Originally, he wanted to exchange his life for his life, kill Hudson and disrupt the Terran coalition army, and fight for a chance for his subordinates to break through.
Unfortunately, the end result was that his body was full of arrows, and Hudson on the other side was unscathed, looking at him as if he was looking at a clown.
Forcibly enduring the pain, the middle-aged Beamon held up his last strength, and said unwillingly in the common language of the mainland: "The Beamon family, the gold is better than the Beamon Roye Yinya."
Human, say your name and let me die for a clear moment! β
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with dead people."
While replying, Hudson did not forget to make up for Roye Yinya, so that the golden Beamon went to meet the beast god with a stomach full of doubts.
