Chapter 60, the first rise of the famous general

By the time he left the Bearman Imperial Court and returned to the battlefield with his cavalry, the battle had already ended.

It can be seen from the corpses all over the ground that the results of the battle are very glorious. Ordinary orcs aside, the most important thing is to kill thousands of bear man elites.

When bragging in the future, the expeditionary force can also generously announce to the outside world that they are also the elite division that has defeated the main army of the bears head-on.

20,000 infantry and 30,000 orc armies clashed, including a bear army known as the first infantry on the mainland, this record is enough to take back and brag about it for a lifetime.

The 4,000 cavalry stormed the Bear Man Imperial Court, which was a classic battle worthy of special mention. Two stunning victories a day are enough to leave a name in the history of the human race.

Military victory is secondary, and the key is political influence. With this record, it was enough to offset the defeat of the previous expeditionary force in the Battle of Dacias.

If this record had been passed back to China, it was estimated that Caesar III would have secretly regretted that he had recalled his son too early.

If you lose it at night and let the crown prince stay in the position of commander of the expeditionary force for a while longer, you can also take advantage of this wave of military achievements and save some reputation.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, who would have thought that the expeditionary force, which was seriously injured, would be able to turn the tables in a difficult situation?

You don't have to think about it to know that Crown Prince Caesar, who is a negative teaching material, will have even more miserable days in the future.

In the eyes of the outside world, the expeditionary force can still fight, and the defeat in the battle of Dacias is purely caused by the commander's blind command.

At the very least, the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom will insist on this view as a bargaining chip in the next political game.

Even if Crown Prince Caesar inherits the throne in the future and involves military issues, it is difficult to have much say.

Hudson couldn't have thought about it so much. The political and military victories will be sorted out later, and the top priority at the moment is to count the losses and consider the aftermath.

When the 4,000 cavalry returned to the castle, there were only more than 3,200 left, and the loss rate was nearly 20%.

This is also one of the reasons why Hudson decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops and did not continue to entangle in the Bearren Imperial Court.

Even on the way back, he encountered the tired bear-man infantry, and he chose to let it go.

It's not that he's soft-hearted, it's that the cavalry has suffered too much loss, and if he fights with the bear-man infantry again, the cavalry troops in his hands will be wiped out.

In the absence of replenishment, the highly mobile cavalry force, is undoubtedly very valuable.

If it weren't for the expansion of so many cavalry before, Hudson would not have dared to plan this classic conference battle.

Once the cavalry is gone, relying purely on the infantry to support it, the expeditionary force will not have a good time in the future.

Compared to the cavalry, the situation of the infantry regiment was much better. In addition to the elite collision in the early stage, which damaged many soldiers, the water dogs were beaten in the later stage.

The number of attrition is around 10%, which is completely acceptable to Hudson compared to the brilliant record.

The only regret is that under the glorious record, there are not many loot captured. The orcs came out to fight, and they didn't carry much material with them.

There were a lot of good things in the Bearman Imperial Court, but it was a pity that Hudson didn't dare to let the soldiers rob them.

If you really carry a large amount of loot and lose the mobility of the cavalry, it is unknown whether you can escape with all your body.

The biggest catch was the ambush team that was sent out to fish in the first place.

It took up more than 300 wagons, and although a third of them were carcasses, it was enough to make Hudson smile.

Most of the trophies filled with more than two hundred wagons were gold coins or gold products, and the total value of this part alone was not less than two million gold coins.

The rest of the loot was varied, and there were even seven noble maidens and five elven slaves among them.

At first glance, I knew that this was a gift for the big names in the Bearman court, and now it was all cheaper Hudson.

But none of these beauties did not move. Everyone is a nobleman, and when they meet the families of their colleagues, they must be rescued and appeased.

At least in front of countless nobles, no one dared to fall into the ground. Lord Hudson, who cherishes feathers, will not make mistakes in this.

Five elven slaves, not to mention. It's all men, and Master Hudson doesn't have such a heavy taste.

In his heart, he was also speechless for a while about his special love for the Moxi nobles. It's really a flower to eat and hold on, and play.

asked a circle of nobles in the army, maybe embarrassed in front of everyone, but no one wanted to take over.

What to do, Hudson didn't think about it. You can only lock people up first, and wait for the nobleman with a special fetish to come and claim it.

Of course, the probability of such a thing happening is not high. Special fetishes are not new in aristocratic circles, but there are few who dare to put things on the surface.

With so much loot, Hudson certainly couldn't take it alone.

All the nobles who participated in the war scored a share, and the nobles who died in the battle had to reserve a share.

Hudson has never been stingy in these face-saving projects.

The headquarters of the expeditionary force also had to leave a fund for its activities. Although there is money that cannot be spent now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

War can only stop ordinary people, and for those warmongers who are eager to make war money, troubled times are the best opportunity.

Mercenaries from all over the world have been frantically pouring into the Duchy of Moxi for some time now. If it weren't for the siege of Dapest, it is estimated that there would be an endless stream of people reporting every day.

"Crisis" means that there is "danger" and "opportunity".

Without this opportunity, the plebeians and the nobility would always be two different classes.

Chriss IX's Supreme Mobilization Order cleared the legal barrier for commoners to become nobles.

Theoretically, if you take a risk in the middle of war and achieve outstanding achievements, you can achieve a leap in life.

As for whether you can cross it, it still depends on luck. Many noble ancestors made their fortunes in this way.

Fortune, Decline, Revival, Decline......

As long as it doesn't perish, it's a cycle.

There is no such thing as a long-lasting family. Even if it is claimed to be an ancient aristocrat that has been inherited for thousands or tens of thousands of years, the ancestors may only have a surname.

Gold coins and gold products are easy to handle, the value is clear at a glance, and it can be divided directly.

The rest of the mess can only be disposed of after getting rid of it.

After all, this is a time of war, and the price system of the past has long since collapsed.

The various crafts that were once highly sought after are now not as valuable as bread.

The prices of all commodities linked to the war have soared to the sky.

No one wanted the elf slaves, but the magic equipment in the loot was robbed by a group of nobles as soon as it appeared.

The final way to deal with it is very simple, just take it out and auction it - the highest bidder wins.

Everything that could be digested internally was digested, and some of the remaining magic materials that were less used, as well as a bunch of strange and unrecognizable things, were left in the treasury of the expeditionary force.

As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Hudson naturally took the biggest share of the cake, followed by Uncle Bear Stearns, who was responsible for the combat force.

The battle flag of the Bear Man Imperial Court alone is not simply measured by money.

The only problem is that the flag cannot be given away now, or that Hudson is unwilling to hand it over cheaply.

The current Principality of Moxie is still too busy to take care of itself, and it can't afford to pay this big price at all.

Giving them nothing real than to boost morale is of any real significance. No matter how rich the promise was, Hudson would not be foolish enough to run to the Duchy of Moxie to guard the frontier for them.

Bring it back home, it's so far in the middle, who knows what will happen?

If you are robbed back by the orcs halfway, it will be a waste of time.

What's more, Hudson can't return to China at the moment, and the Coslow family has no one in the court, even if he brings things back, it will be difficult to get the due return.

Instead of making a wedding dress for someone else, it is better to keep it in your hands to decorate the faΓ§ade. Hang it in the living room, and whoever sees it must be respectful.

When training troops, they can also be used from time to time to show off their fears of orcs.

After this great battle, Hudson clearly felt the transformation of the army. Not only did the troops become more confident, but even the morale of the defenders in the city also rose.

Hearing about orcs scaring them peeing their pants will never happen again.

Listening to the constant bragging of a group of colleagues, the local nobles of Moxi who stayed behind, it was an envy and jealousy.

In a big battle of this level, as long as you participate in the number of people, it is also a talk that can be used to brag for a lifetime.

It's a pity that before the start of the fight, few people dared to sign up. Of course, even if they were willing to sign up, Hudson wouldn't give them a chance to cause chaos on the battlefield.

If you want your name to appear on the list of merits, it is not completely out of the question. As long as you give a generous gift to Lord Hudson, you can be hung up.

The size of the feats is entirely determined by the value of the gift. Anyway, the expeditionary force and the Moxi defenders are two systems, and they will not steal each other's resources.

After sorting out the internal problems, a good news of artistic processing was distributed to the Quartet in the name of the expeditionary force.

Thinking of this, Hudson couldn't help but complain: the country does not pay attention to the expeditionary force, and it is difficult to even contact the royal capital directly.

Each time, he either sent a message to the griffon cavalry of the Mossi people, or sent messengers himself to gallop thousands of miles on horseback.

Communication difficulties are not all problems, and the biggest advantage is that Hudson's authority is high enough that he does not need to ask for instructions on everything.

Even if you provoke a general battle, you don't need to report to the kingdom. If you lose the battle, you can even block the news directly.

As long as the expeditionary force is well controlled, and the soldiers damaged in the battle are replenished in time, you can fool the past.

For a country that has been at war with orcs for a long time, being chased around by orcs is not a big deal at all.

As long as the position is not lost and the troops are not too lost, it is all considered a strategic transfer.

……

"What, Earl Hudson has gone to attack the Bearman Court?"

Marshal Hodge asked incredulously.

Before the battle report was sent, the news had already spread first. I had communicated with my neighbors beforehand, and everyone was watching the battlefield closely.

I don't know the specifics, but just by looking at the chased orcs who are scurrying around, everyone knows that Hudson won the battle.

This kind of good thing, it is naturally necessary to inform the boss of the family. Originally, Marshal Hodge only regarded it as a small victory and didn't pay much attention to it.

But the news that came back one after another made him more and more frightened. As someone who has seen a big scene, Marshal Hodge can still barely hold on.

Now as soon as the news of the attack on the Bear Man Imperial Court came out, the old marshal was also broken. I couldn't care about any image anymore, and directly asked the doubts in my heart.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We just received the news from the people below, and we couldn't believe it, and we sent people to the bear camp to investigate.

Judging from the situation on the scene, they have indeed just experienced a big battle, and the camp has been very badly damaged.

According to the news from the defenders from all over the country, the armies of the other four imperial courts also suddenly moved, and all of them went to the location of the bear man imperial court.

It can be preliminarily determined that the Xiongren Imperial Court was forced to ask for help from the other four imperial courts because of a serious threat from foreign enemies.

The only one who has the strength to pose a threat to the Bearren Imperial Court nearby is the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force stationed in the Flying Bear Castle.

On the day of the incident, the expeditionary force also carried out a large force movement, and the defenders of several nearby castles also dispatched troops to cooperate.

It's just that the original agreed plan was for everyone to make a posture of feint to attack the bearman royal court and force the orc army to come back to help.

I don't know what happened halfway, and in the end the feint turned into a strong attack.

Perhaps it was Earl Hudson who discovered the warplane, or perhaps there was a reason why he had to attack, and the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force did launch an attack on the Bearren Court.

Judging from the information gathered, the expeditionary force should have taken advantage of it this time. The specific situation still has to wait for the battle report of Earl Hudson. ”

Harley replied solemnly.

Everyone was pressed to the ground by the orcs and rubbed, and they had to be very careful when they went out of the city to make a little move.

Now that someone dares to stab the bear man royal court, and they have taken advantage of it, the news is really unbelievable.

But the idea is not important, the key is that the facts are in front of you. The expeditionary force really went to do it, and it did it beautifully.

After calming down, Marshal Hodge's face suddenly became rosy, and he said with a smile:

"This is a great joy, and the Earl Hudson's move will surely reduce the pressure on Dapest.

If the Bearren Imperial Court is really hit hard, the pressure on our nearby castles will also be drastically reduced in the short term, and we can expand the range of activities again. ”

It can be seen that he is happy from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Principality of Moxi, he, the marshal, is also under great pressure.

The voices of criticism within the principality have never stopped. They weren't kicked down, just because they couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Personal fame and fortune are just enough, the key is the general trend of the overthrow of the principality, which is the most reassuring to him.

Once the Principality of Moxi falls, all the nobles and nobles attached to the principality will slide into the quagmire.

"Report!"

"Marshal, an urgent battle report from the Flying Bear Castle, please ......"

Without waiting for anyone to finish speaking, Marshal Hodge snatched the battle report, opened the seal and looked through it.

There was not much on the parchment, but it weighed a thousand pounds in his hands.

The further down he looked, the more Marshal Hodge's expression changed significantly, and in the end, his mouth directly changed into a big O-shape.

"Harley, immediately send someone to relay the battle report to the royal capital.

In order to prevent accidents, let a few more copies be copied and sent out by different routes. ”

……

The Bear Man Imperial Court, facing the reinforcements of the four royal courts, the Bear Man Emperor was embarrassed.

The nest is not safe, and I have to ask my allies for help, and if it gets out, it will be laughed at for a lifetime.

Judging by the smiling expressions of the people who came, they were all looking at him laughing now.

I know that people are watching jokes, but these reinforcements were also recruited by himself. Being able to come over is a favor.

Losing face, that's the bear court's own business, but you can't blame the allies.

"Your Majesty, is this Earl Hudson really so powerful?"

Crown Prince Alex asked with concern.

Although the Beamons had fought against Hudson, it was a pity that the hapless cavalry regiment was wiped out and no valuable information was sent back.

Because of the problem of strategic needs, the Beamon Imperial Court has not had time to retaliate, but the account is still written down first.

Even though the Beamon and the Bearren have always looked down on each other, they still recognize the strength of the Bearren infantry.

Now that this old enemy has suffered a big loss at the hands of Hudson, Prince Alex, who has the intention of revenge, naturally has to pay attention to it.

"He is the most powerful soldier of any enemy we have encountered since the beginning of the war.

Not only is the use of troops powerful, but also the ability to govern the army is also very strong. In particular, the First Legion of his descendant Expeditionary Force is the top legion among the human race.

In the future, if you encounter it on the battlefield, you must be cautious. This time, we were careless and fell for him. ”

The Bear Emperor replied stiffly.

If you can't prove that Hudson is powerful, it will seem that he is too incompetent.

In order not to make yourself a waste, you can only make the enemy more powerful.

It was a little unnatural at first, but soon the Bear Man Emperor got used to it. In addition to himself, two of the other four people present actually nodded in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, the Bear Man Emperor understood what was going on.

The Silver Moon Wolf Clan and the Beamon Clan were defeated at the hands of Hudson. Although the bear-man royal family suffered the most losses, the other two suffered considerable losses.

The enemy is cowering in the Flying Bear Castle, and there are tens of thousands of heavy troops, and there is no way to take revenge for a while.

But Hudson can be active outside, and everyone's face can't get by. The Bears wanted to brag about Hudson's awesomeness, and they just went with the flow.

Since the enemies are so powerful, it seems logical that the small defeat suffered before will be logical.

Anyway, everyone is out to mix, and they still have to have face.

The three of the five royal families are all powerful, and the remaining two families are difficult to believe even if they don't believe it.

With the endorsement of the Orc Empire, a star was raised.
