Chapter 58, the language of beasts everywhere
Bathed in the autumn breeze and under Hudson's command, the expeditionary force completed its formation on the avenue and waited for the orc army to come to the door.
It's not the way for the orc rescue convoys, but it's the best way to go. If you take a detour, not to mention the thirty miles you will have to travel, the road will still be winding.
There were 10,000 infantry in the center, 5,000 infantry on each wing, and 4,000 cavalry roaming outside the two wings, making a total of 24,000 men.
The army dressed in armor and wearing a red scarf on its head, under the light of the sun, is like a maple forest in the autumn colors, fiery red.
With a loud and urgent horn, the orc army appeared in the sky, black as a pine forest all over the field, but the formation was much more chaotic.
Just looking at the formation, it doesn't look like an elite.
However, as the Chinese army, the bear army still aroused Hudson's idea. Although the pace is a little chaotic, the big man with the armor on his head is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Compared with the bear-man soldiers who are generally two meters three or four tall and weigh four hundred pounds, the soldiers of the expeditionary force with an average height of less than one meter seven per capita are really beasts and ...... of contrasts.
Stone hammer, this is the first heavy infantry on the mainland. With this physique and tonnage, if it can't be regarded as the first in the mainland, then it can only be replaced by giants.
However, the Giant Clan has long since withdrawn from the mainland stage, and now the number of remaining giants is extremely limited, and it can only be a corner of peace.
Two armies with very different styles met on the plains, and suddenly the drums and horns sounded, and the banners hunted in the wind.
"Attack!"
With Hudson's order, the cruising cavalry took the lead and marched towards the orc's cannon fodder legion.
The infantry marched forward in orderly steps, like a mountain wall, shouting "kill" every three steps, and calmly advancing forward.
Seeing this scene, Bruno's Legion Commander's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to his senses.
The physique of the bear people doomed them to be natural infantrymen. As for the cavalry, don't embarrass the bears.
With their tonnage, and a suit of armor, they could easily weigh more than five hundred pounds, and the fragile horses could not afford all this.
Perhaps elephants are more suitable for them, in the era when orcs dominated the continent, the bears had a powerful elephant army.
Unfortunately, with the decline of the orc hegemony, the elephant cavalry of the bear-people also disappeared, and even the domesticated elephant herd was wiped out by the humans.
Since then, cavalry has become a shortcoming for the bears, and they can only focus on developing infantry.
As far as Bruno's army knows, the royal court has secretly formed a new cavalry corps, but the scale is not large, and it has not been involved in this war.
"All the troops are attacking!"
Ignoring the enemy's cavalry, this was Bruno's final choice.
In the history of the bear people, they were only rushed through the military formation once by the Beamon cavalry, and the human cavalry was obviously not qualified.
As for the two cannon fodder legions, if they can drag the elite cavalry of the Terrans, they will have completed their respective missions.
The terrible sound of the bull's horn shook the earth, and the cavalry of the expeditionary force roared and approached, and when they approached the camp of the orc army, they suddenly turned to abandon the army and went straight to the rear of the orc army.
Front-and-back pinch?
In an instant, Bruno noticed that something was wrong, and the Terran cavalry did not attack them, but ran all the way towards the royal camp.
"Oops!"
Realizing this, Bruno's face suddenly became gloomy. If you lose the royal camp, what is the use of defeating the elite of the human race in front of you?
"Send the order down and let the Hawkmen go out to scout and see if the Terran army in the nearby fortress has been dispatched!"
In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided like a sea of mountains, like thunder resounding through the valley, and like thousands of angry waves crashing against the mountains.
Swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whizzed and flew by, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble.
Two elite armies fought fiercely on the plains.
Iron men struck, death did not spin, hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, thick smoke and dust, the whole plain was enveloped and annihilated by the terrible aura of this primitive fighting......
Seeing that his own troops had suffered losses in this round of flesh and blood collision, Hudson immediately ordered: "Everyone shout with me, go straight to the Bear Man Emperor's court, and capture the Bear Man Emperor alive!" ”
"Take the Bearman Emperor Court and capture the Bearman Emperor alive!"
"Take the Bearman Emperor Court and capture the Bearman Emperor alive!"
……
The overwhelming shouts were actually shouted in the language of the bear clan. Although the pronunciation is not so standard, it is enough for all the bear-man soldiers to understand.
The earth-shattering shouts shook the hearts of the bear-man soldiers in the battle.
The Terran cavalry is gone!
The shock in my heart was reflected on the battlefield, and the pace under my feet inevitably slowed down a little.
What is fighting on the battlefield is a mouthful of blood, and once this breath is vented, it will be difficult to boost it again.
Although the rout was not enough, the opportunity to defeat the expeditionary force in one fell swoop was lost.
The two sides fought fiercely together, and Bruno, as the main general, was tormented in his heart.
With the battlefield on one side and the imperial court on the other, it is really difficult to choose.
At this time, the two two legion commanders had already arrived in front of Bruno, and Nonandez took the lead in picking out the topic:
"General Bruno, the enemy deliberately lured us out, obviously heading for the Imperial Court.
In a vain attempt to drag us here, and launch a sneak attack while the imperial court is empty.
Perhaps at this moment, the nearby Terran armies have already come out of the fortress and launched a siege on the imperial court! ”
"Captain Nonandez, I've sent the Hawkman out to scout, and news will come back soon."
He said so, but deep down, Bruno didn't think that the Terrans would give up this good opportunity.
There was an ordinary legion stationed in the imperial court, and there were many masters accompanying him, so if it was just the defenders in a few nearby Terran fortresses, he wouldn't be too worried.
But now that 4,000 more elite cavalry have joined, everything is no longer the same. It is clear that this is deliberately done by the Terrans.
Since it was prepared for a long time, gathering a group of Terran masters and taking the opportunity to attack the Bear Emperor, it is not surprising.
Having deduced the Terran conspiracy, Bruno became more and more embarrassed.
Now the two sides have been mixed up, and they have not been able to defeat the enemy army in one go, and it is obvious that they will not be able to tell the winner for a while.
Once the order is given to retreat, the Terran army will inevitably catch up after the ass. The slightest carelessness can turn a retreat into a rout.
"General Bruno, the safety of the Imperial Court matters. While there is still time to do so, you should hurry up and bring the troops back to the imperial court!
As for the enemy army in front of you, leave it to us. Even if you can't beat them, you can still hold them back. ”
Captain Boggs offered to break the rear.
Although he is the leader of the Ragtag Army, he is also from the Bear Clan. In times of crisis, the first consideration is the interests of the bear people.
The fall of the imperial court caused not only the loss of the 10,000 defenders in the camp, but also the high-ranking members of the royal family in the camp.
Even if all the high-level officials successfully escaped, the political horror disaster would still break the bones of the bear people.
This was much more serious than losing a main legion before.
"Report!"
Without waiting for Bruno to make a decision, the Eagleman has already brought the news.
"On the way to reconnoitre, we found a large number of Terran troops in the southeast, moving in the direction of the Imperial Court.
Judging by the march, there were no less than 20,000 men.
It is not known exactly which force it will be. ”
Bruno was about to speak, when another eagle-man soldier descended from the sky.
"Report!"
"The defenders of the Landry Fortress have come out, and the target seems to be in the direction of our royal court, and the long line is several miles long......"
The last straw that crushed the balance in his heart appeared, and Bruno could no longer afford to delay, and immediately ordered:
The herald sounded, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops. The Bearren Legion will go back with me to rescue the Imperial Court!
Captain Boggs, Captain Nonandez, you are responsible for leading people to stop the enemy.
In any case, hold off the enemy for at least two hours, and don't let them join the siege of the Imperial Court! ”
The horn sounded to collect the troops, and the bear soldiers, who were fighting fiercely, abandoned their opponents and wanted to leave the battlefield.
Finally, when the fighter came, Hudson would not be soft-hearted, and immediately ordered: "The orcs are defeated, we can't let them escape!" ”
Whether anyone believed it or not, the guards around him shouted anyway, and then all the soldiers shouted.
This time it's not the language of the bear-people, but the most widely spoken lingua franca of the Orc Empire.
How many people could understand, Hudson didn't know. Anyway, there is no loss in shouting a few voices, so many orcs always have a few stupid, and one flickering counts as one.
For the sake of these few words, he promoted it in the army for half a month before the soldiers remembered it.
It turns out that there are really a lot of fools these years.
Hearing the shouts and seeing the bear-man soldiers retreating, the two orc legions that were originally responsible for the broken rear fell into chaos first.
"Go back, the Terrans lied to you, you idiots!"
"The overseer team will be killed, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!"
The two legion commanders who were in charge of the broken rear shouted hard.
It's a pity that the Warlords were able to kill the scattered deserters, but they couldn't stop the army in chaos.
The first to be affected were the retreating Bearren Legion, whose chaotic allies were scurrying around, and many of them broke into their formation.
The original rear army was transformed into a front army and retreated in an orderly manner, and under the impact of its allies, it directly made a mess.
Although the bearman soldiers are well-trained, not every one of them has a bright brain. It's okay to move with the army, but once you get into chaos, you start to catch the blind at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Bruno, as the main general, was directly blown up.
Unfortunately, the chaotic army, like a fly without a head, began to scurry around.
Officers can't find soldiers, soldiers can't find direct officers, everyone is acting on instinct.
Pig teammates, that's really not moving.
The retreat turned into a rout, and if he had known this, he would not have allowed the two cannon fodder regiments to enter the battle.
It's all about experience, in the past, with the Bear Army as the core, the cannon fodder army acted as a wing, and once it tore through the enemy's military formation, it was able to immediately launch a massacre.
This was indeed the case in the early battles, following the Bear army together, and the two legions dragged down the Terran army on both flanks.
The only difference is that they failed to tear through the military formation of the expeditionary force in the first place, so that the war is at a stalemate.
When the coach ordered the retreat, the talent of the pig teammates reached the peak without a teacher.
The Bear Clan Legion, the first heavy infantry on the mainland, was not defeated by the enemy, but was tormented by his teammates and lost his temper.
After the Bearren Legion got rid of its entanglement with the Terrans, seeing that there were only more than 6,000 people left in the team, Bruno's face turned green with anger.
In the midst of the chaos, snatch back your own elite, not to mention whether the Terran soldiers agree, the key is that time does not allow it!
From the information received alone, tens of thousands of Terran troops went straight to the imperial court, and it is not known how many enemies were not discovered.
If you have been entangled here for a long time, what will happen to your hometown?
Glancing at the chaotic battlefield, Bruno gritted his teeth and ordered fiercely: "Go!" ”
Chaos is everywhere, and even if he lets the Bearren Legion fight again, it will be difficult to turn the tide of decadent battle.
Stay and fight to the death, and the best outcome is also a lose-lose situation.
……
Seeing that the bear man had been fooled, Hudson secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This war is a bet on the judgment of the other commander, if the other side will stay regardless of it, it will be the expeditionary force that should run away.
In order to play this big show, he mobilized all the nearby Terran defenders.
The movement of the army towards the orc royal court is naturally true. It's just besieging the orc royal court, but it's not within the scope of everyone's agreement.
It's not that Hudson is not perfect, it's just that he didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly.
Originally, I thought that I would mobilize the main army of the bearmen to come back to help, take advantage of the situation to eat some of the orc miscellaneous soldiers, and add a brilliant record of defeating the bearman army to my resume, and I could take it out and pretend to be forced.
I didn't expect the enemy to be so arrogant, and as soon as he came up, he thought he was 100% victorious, and in order to reduce the losses of the main force, he even sent out the cannon fodder corps.
I didn't expect the two orc cannon fodder legions to be so powerful, and at the critical moment when the bear legion retreated, they directly filled the skills of their teammates.
The fake record that he wanted to take out and pretend to be forced suddenly turned into a real record, and Hudson's head was buzzing.
Looking at the Bearmen who had been badly attritioned and left the battlefield, Hudson suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big deal.
A new thought suddenly appeared in his mind, should he take advantage of the victory to pursue and simply destroy the bear court?
When a thought comes out of your life, it never lingers again.
The fighter plane did appear, and the main army closest to the Bear Man Imperial Court was already seriously injured at this moment.
On the battlefield, these two cannon fodder regiments were able to evacuate a third of the soldiers back, and that was already the blessing of the beast god.
At this moment, the number of troops left behind in the Bear Man Imperial Court is definitely no more than two cannon fodder legions. Looking at the nervous appearance of the enemy guards, it is impossible to imagine that there will be fewer troops left behind.
If the Terran armies from all directions are gathered and a joint siege is carried out, it may not be impossible to take the Bear Man Imperial Court before the reinforcements from the four imperial courts arrive.
