Chapter 47: Chance Encounters
As Hudson predicted, the most important core heritage is always carried with you.
The contract was signed, and the Leberon family simply sent the inheritance they carried.
Including the secret door passed on by word of mouth, it is also clearly explained.
After reading some of the content at first, Hudson suddenly understood why the Leberon family had fallen.
The inheritance of magic, the inheritance of alchemy, and the inheritance of knight cultivation are all available, except for the lack of knowledge in the military field.
I don't know if there is no accumulation in this area, or it has been ignored, anyway, this part of the content is vacant.
It's true that the transcendent world pays attention to cultivation, but if you blindly lean towards it, it will be too much.
A big nobleman with strong comprehensive strength is really strong.
There are obvious shortcomings in the military, and it is not difficult to explain why Bethel Fortress fell so quickly.
Without kung fu emotion, Hudson was already immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
……
"Report!"
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, fifty miles ahead of you, you will find an army of orcs, numbering tens of thousands."
Hearing the orc army, Crown Prince Caesar suddenly became energetic.
Fifty miles is not close, and it is not far away.
If the infantry is carrying a heavy load, it may not be possible to walk it all in a day; Replace it with a cavalry attack, and it will be able to arrive in more than an hour.
At this distance, it was discovered that the enemy army was really not a griffin cavalry who was passive and slack. In fact, the farther the detection distance, the greater the space that needs to be explored.
Without knowing the enemy's location, scouting fifty miles is equivalent to drawing an arc with a radius of fifty miles along the position of the army.
Monitoring such a large area, even if the griffin cavalry flies in the sky, there is a lot of pressure.
What's more, the orcs also have an air force, and in case of an encounter with the patrolling eaglemen, it is unknown whether they can come back alive.
"Order the griffon cavalry to continue to monitor the movements of the orcs and find out the enemy's troop disposition as soon as possible.
Guards, tell the commanders of the legions to come over for a meeting! ”
Crown Prince Caesar immediately ordered.
Although he has no experience in fighting with soldiers, he is still very proficient in basic military knowledge.
Looking at the familiar map, he knew he had been right. Sure enough, the orcs did not stumble along the defensive line, but aimed at Dapest.
Whether to stop moving forward and carry out the previous fishing plan, Crown Prince Caesar suddenly hesitated.
The fall of Bethel Fortress cleared the way for the orc army to move south.
If you want to hunt down the orc army heading south, the most important link is that someone must cut the middle passage, so that the sudden orc army will become a lone army.
The orc army in the rear is not stupid, and will definitely not let this kind of thing happen, and the two sides are bound to fight around the Bethel area.
Will the Moxi army at the front be able to accomplish this task?
Crown Prince Caesar had no bottom in his heart, and since the fall of Bethel Fortress, his assessment of the combat strength of Moxie's army has plummeted.
In the depths of his heart, he doubted more than once that the level of the Duchy of Moxi was so good, how could it be mixed with the first principality of the human race.
The biggest advantage of fewer people is high efficiency. The top of the expeditionary force, composed of the commander, deputy marshal + five corps commanders, soon got together.
The latest information about the orc army has also been transmitted, and the enemy's strength has changed from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, three to fifty thousand to be exact.
Specific numbers, then don't be embarrassed to scout the cavalry. The orcs marched in a chaotic manner, and they can estimate an approximate number, all of which are veterans with rich reconnaissance experience.
The range of the interval is a little larger, that is because the people below are serious and responsible for the work, for fear of misleading the commander.
"Your Highness, the route of our march is about to change. Continue to follow the path you came, and soon you will collide with this orc army.
The ordinary orc army is not a cause for concern, the key is that according to the detected intelligence, there are still a large number of Beamon cavalry in the enemy army.
Although our army has an advantage in terms of strength, it is afraid that it will not take advantage of the battle against the Beamon cavalry in the field.
In case the war is at a stalemate, and the troops of the other four royal families of the orcs come to reinforce it, it will be a big trouble. ”
Count José said cautiously.
As the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, his most important task was not to make a contribution, but to bring back Crown Prince Caesar safely.
As the most orthodox heir of the Alpha Kingdom, the value of Crown Prince Caesar's safe return is more important than any meritorious work.
As a guest army, they are just here to help the field, and they can't work too hard at all.
According to his original intention, Crown Prince Caesar could stay in the rear and coordinate remotely. It is most perfect to leave the affairs of the front line to the free play of a few corps commanders.
won the war, and the military merit is indispensable for the commander; If you lose, whoever commands it will naturally be responsible.
"Your Excellency, you are also too cautious.
The five royal clans of the orcs are in their own way, and the Beamon clan has always been strong, and it is too late for the clans to be happy if they have the opportunity to watch them unlucky.
Even if they reach a compromise and really send troops to the rescue, they will be passive and slack.
According to the information gathered, the Beamon army that entered the Duchy of Moxi had a total of two legions, and the defenders on the front line had to cut off the back route, and the most that could be sent out was only one legion.
Some time ago, there were several major battles, and both legions are now less than a force, at most eight or nine thousand people.
Now the expeditionary force of the Duchy of Orton is no more than twenty miles away from us; The expeditionary force of Ruilin Boguo is only more than thirty miles away from us.
With the strength of the three of us, there are 120,000 troops, plus several new legions of the Principality of Mossi who are acting together, and the total strength is more than 180,000.
Even if there were 50,000 orcs in front of them, it would be enough to remove the more than 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers of the Beamon clan and hand them over to the new legion of the Moses.
The 120,000 expeditionary forces concentrated in the Three Kingdoms, even if they can't swallow eight or nine thousand Bimeng cavalry in one bite, they can at least leave half of them behind.
Severely damaged the army of the Beamon Imperial Court, only the armies of the other four imperial courts remained, and then the difficulty of encircling and annihilating the remaining four imperial courts was greatly reduced. ”
Crown Prince Caesar said with determination.
Cannon fodder to cannon fodder, elite to elite, there is nothing wrong with it.
The expeditionary force is not all elite, but the proportion of elite soldiers in it still exceeds 20%.
The remaining soldiers, the poorest, also received a year of military training. Although the water of this training is a little lost, there are still months of off-duty training.
After all, it is the team that accompanies them to the battlefield, and the nobles are still very hard at training. If you don't train it, it's purely a matter of ability.
After the expedition, several corps commanders were trying to find ways to help their subordinates make up for the lessons. After all, a long-distance march is also a kind of training.
It not only tests the physical strength and endurance of soldiers, but also tests the organization, coordination, and coordination ability of a unit.
What happened to the expeditionary forces of the other two countries is not known for the time being. However, in Caesar's opinion, no matter how low it is, it will not be low.
After all, it is to go abroad to fight, and there are many countries watching, if the strength is too poor, it will not be embarrassing.
The superiority of more than ten times the strength of the troops was all pressed on the Beamon cavalry. No matter how good they can fight, they will be dragged down and exhausted to death.
The coach and the deputy coach disagreed, and the five captains present also fell into a state of disagreement.
Some people have no confidence in the expeditionary force, and they have no bottom in their hearts about Crown Prince Caesar's plans; Some people think they can fight this battle.
It can only be said that the power of the example is unlimited, and the news that the First Army easily annihilated the Beamon Cavalry Regiment not long ago really stimulated many people.
Everyone is a county soldier, and the Mossi regard the First Legion as a first-class elite, but they know it very well.
The strength of the First Legion is indeed superior to them, but to say that it is too strong, they do not agree.
At least among the main legions of the Alpha Kingdom, there is no figure of the First Legion.
If it is really as powerful as the outside world, the kingdom is reluctant to send it to the Duchy of Moxi as a consumable.
An army that is slightly stronger than them can torture and kill a Beamon cavalry regiment, and many people think that replacing them will only cause more casualties.
Even if you can't do total annihilation, you can always inflict heavy damage on the enemy, right?
Three optimists + Crown Prince Caesar, the main battle faction suppressed the moderation faction with an absolute advantage.
Count José wanted to speak out against it several times, but under the sharp eyes of Crown Prince Caesar, he finally chose to shut up.
After all, he was just a part-time worker, nominally the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, but in fact anyone present had more weight than him to speak.
The two moderate army commanders who have high hopes are not enough of their own confidence, and they are not strong in front of Crown Prince Caesar at all. After a few symbolic arguments, he directly disarmed and surrendered.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Count José could only sigh secretly.
If we can't stop this war, we can only do our best to do a good job to improve the chances of winning the war.
"Your Highness, since you have decided to fight the orcs, the work on the side of the allies must be coordinated.
It involves a joint operation involving the armies of the four countries, and it is best to concentrate forces together before acting.
Otherwise, if there is a problem in any link in the middle, it is possible that the cooperation will not be in place, which will lead to the defeat of the war! ”
Count José said earnestly.
It's just that he himself didn't notice how strong the disgust in Crown Prince Caesar's heart was at the repeated mention of "failure".
"The coordination of the problems of the nations is left to His Excellency the Earl. Please be sure to manage your relations with the three countries.
Everyone else went to prepare for battle, and we waited here for the orc army to arrive.
The pivotal moment to turn the tide of the battle has come, and the next ......"
Count José didn't listen to a word of the blood, and his mind was full of his own shoes.
Coordinating relations between countries is easy to say, but it would be very important to implement it.
Everyone is not subordinate to each other, so why should they listen to Caesar's command?
There are not enough benefits, just the identity of the crown prince of the Alpha Kingdom, it is not worth everyone's life.
It's just a tailwind, if you encounter a headwind, it will be a big disaster to fly separately.
……
The Beamon Legion was exposed to the Alpha Kingdom Army, and the Expeditionary Force was likewise exposed to the Beamon Legion.
The difference is limited to the discovery of the other party's chronological issues.
By the time Prince Butzweig received the news, the distance between the two sides had narrowed to forty miles.
In the face of an enemy army far superior to his own strength, whether to fight a battle, Prince Butzweig's heart is also uncertain.
Although the Beamon clan claims to be invincible, it is just a boast.
It's okay to scare the enemy, but if you take it seriously, you will definitely have a tragedy.
The core factor in deciding whether to start a war is not only whether it can be won, but also how much it will cost.
Half of the invincible prestige of the Beamon clan in field battles is made by real swords and guns, and the other half is good at choosing fighters.
Knowing that the enemy is strong and I am weak, I still stupidly rush forward, that is not a war, but a head.
"Are you sure it's the Alpha Kingdom's expeditionary force, not the new formation of the Moxi people?"
Prince Butzweig asked with concern.
They are all Terran armies, and their combat effectiveness is not the same.
The battle has been going on until now, and the Orc Empire also has its own set of criteria for dividing the combat effectiveness of the Terran army.
Among the armies of the three northern kingdoms, the armies of the Alpha Kingdom are not necessarily the strongest in combat, but they must be the most difficult.
As old rivals for hundreds of years, both sides know each other too well. The advantages and disadvantages of each are clear.
Since this is understood, targeted means will naturally be developed.
Especially the private army of the old nobles, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and many details are imperceptibly engraved in the bones.
In the face of these targeted methods, the Orc Empire has not thought of change. It's a pity that some racial talent habits can't be changed if you want to.
Difficult does not mean invincible, even if the opponent's weaknesses are discovered, it is only relative.
Under the absolute difference in strength, the army of the Alpha Kingdom is still a beaten role, the only difference is that it can support it for a little longer.
The estrangement between the races has led to opacity of information on both sides.
I don't know the strength of the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force, just using the strength shown by the First Army as a reference, Prince Butzweig also has to pay attention to it.
"Your Royal Highness, it is indeed an expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom. Even if the flag can be camouflaged, the characteristics of the two armies cannot be changed.
The enemy forces in front of us were very similar to the Ratshire legion we were concerned about, the only difference being that their formation was a bit more chaotic, and they didn't have the kind of evil aura that could be felt from a distance. ”
Having received a definite answer, Prince Butzweig was a mixed bag.
The cannon fodder under his command can't be counted on, and if he wants to eat the enemy army far beyond himself in one bite, one Beamon army is not enough.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the enemy doesn't seem to be as strong as expected.
In the era of cold weapons, there are many factors to consider in order to judge whether an army is elite.
But to be sure that it's not the elite, it's very simple.
If there is no evil qi that rushes to the sky, it means that no blood has been seen. No matter how well this kind of army is trained, it cannot be called elite.
After a little hesitation, Prince Butzweig decided to fight.
Fleeing without a fight is not the style of the Beamons.
What's more, their goal is the city of Dapest, and even if they want to avoid it, the enemy may not let them leave.
"Satuk, you immediately run to the camp of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan and tell them ......"
