Looking at the information from the Moxies, Hudson was a little speechless. It can only be said that the Warhammer Kingdom is fierce enough, and it dares to play a big battle at this time.

If you really want to have a big game, it is better to join forces with the Mossi and recover the Augsburg defense line first.

Once this gap is closed, it is only a matter of time before the orc army that enters the Warhammer Kingdom is destroyed, and it is impossible to break through and leave.

Fighting in the Great Plains of War Hammer in the Plains of One Horse Pingchuan, even if you can defeat the orc army, you can't annihilate it.

If you can't beat it, can't people run away?

The orc expeditionary force is mostly cavalry, and the infantry chases the cavalry, that's a joke.

Suspicion to suspicion, Hudson still did not take a stand. War is a thing that is always full of infinite possibilities.

Although from the analysis of known information, the victory of this meeting initiated by the Warhammer Kingdom is not high, but there are exceptions to everything.

In case there are more than ten or twenty elite legions in the army gathered by the Warhammer Kingdom, plus a group of juniors playing crowd tactics, it is also feasible to use the number to consume the orc expeditionary force.

However, this is only a small probability event. Most of the main legions of the Warhammer Kingdom are pinned down on the front line, and if there are so many main legions in the rear, they will not be at the bottom of the ten kingdoms of the Terrans.

No wonder the Moxies are nervous. As old neighbors and neighbors with relatively close strength, there has been no shortage of friction between the two countries in the past years, and the strength of each other is too familiar.

What you can't do at home, you can do it with the Warhammer Kingdom?

Hudson couldn't answer that question. In military affairs, victory or defeat is often determined by a slight margin.

……

"Your Excellency Marshal, are you ready to start a big war so soon?"

Hudson asked with concern.

The Mossi wanted to relieve the siege of Dapest, and he did not object, provided that the Mossi could hold back the Beamon legion.

After such a long time, the Beamon Legion, which originally suffered a lot of losses, has completed the replenishment, and even if the combat effectiveness has not recovered to its peak, it has nine points.

Facing a fully formed Beamon cavalry regiment, whoever encounters them head-on will feel their scalp tingling.

It is not without the power to be able to confront them head-on, and the knights composed of pure cultivators can compete with the Beamon cavalry.

Unfortunately, the number of knights is too small.

Even with tens of thousands of troops on the expeditionary force, Hudson never thought of forming a knightly order.

It's not that it can't be formed, but the main thing is that a knight order is forcibly formed, and the core strength of other legions is evacuated.

The nobles who have the knights are not necessarily the most powerful militarily, but they must be the richest in their pockets.

Purely from the point of view of cost performance, the cost of a thousand-person knight regiment exceeds that of an ordinary army of 10,000 people.

If the same funds were to form a cavalry regiment, at least three or four thousand cavalry regiments would be able to be produced. If the selection requirements are taken one step further, the final cost will be even greater.

With such a large amount of troops, everyone still flocks to it, and naturally it also has its own unique charm.

Super combat effectiveness, high mobility, long-range running ability...... All are the advantages of the Knights.

As the first principality on the mainland, the Mossi people naturally have their own knights. Unfortunately, during the battle for Augustburg, several knights suffered heavy losses.

This is the official statement, and the specific situation is strictly kept secret by the major nobles. Whether it was really suffering a heavy blow or preserving strength, Hudson did not know.

What's more, there is a difference between the knights and the knights, as strong and weak. Some knighthoods were composed of pure knights, while others also had warriors mixed in.

Profession aside, a knighthood composed of junior knights is certainly not as good as a knighthood composed of intermediate knights.

The difference in combat effectiveness may even be several times greater, and it is completely impossible to generalize.

Hudson did not know the strength of the knights of the Moses, but he had personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Beamon cavalry.

The last time we concentrated the elite and surrounded and annihilated the tired soldiers of a dissatisfied Bimon cavalry regiment, they all paid a lot of losses.

It would be too embarrassing for him to now play against a full army of Beamon cavalry.

Perhaps the expeditionary force could block the charge of the Beamon cavalry in a large formation, but there was no possibility of defeating the Beamon cavalry, and they could not even hold back.

"Your Excellency, the first supplies aided by the Terran Alliance are already on their way.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated with several neighboring countries, and they will first borrow some of our strategic supplies, and then repay them with follow-up supplies delivered by the Alliance.

At present, these materials have entered the territory of our country, just for the sake of safety, and are currently being transported in small batches and many times.

For the sake of friendship between our two countries, the expeditionary force will be one of the armies to be replenished in the first round.

Taking into account the problem of battle damage in the expeditionary force, we can provide a recruit corps as a supplement. ”

Hudson didn't take Hodge's words to heart. "Friendship" is not "friendship" is pure nonsense, and if it were not for the expeditionary force's outstanding achievements, it would not have been possible to have this treatment at all.

The Duchy of Orton and Ruilimbo, which also sent expeditionary forces, were destroyed when the expeditionary force was destroyed. Even if there were still remnants of power, the Moses were not seen helping them restore the system.

In the final analysis, it is because of interests.

The Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force led by Hudson was able to fight and was of great strategic importance to the Duchy of Moxie. Even if it is not its own army, it is treated as well as national security.

The expeditionary forces of the Duchy of Orton and the Ruilimbo Kingdom, which have no combat effectiveness, have no substantive meaning to the Moxies, and the national power behind them is not strong enough, so they are naturally ignored.

At most, I would appreciate two sentences in a diplomatic setting, but deep down I might not know how to despise the incompetence of the two families.

"Your Excellency, if you can get the assistance of the Alliance, then the chances of winning this operation have increased by three points.

I just don't know how many elite divisions your country will be able to invest this time, in addition to the defenders of Dapest? ”

Hudson asked rationally.

The icing was indeed very satisfying to him, but he had to check first to see if it was wrapped in cannonballs.

There is no point in caring about ordinary troops, as long as the Moses are willing, they can pull out hundreds of thousands at will.

But this kind of army is purely powerful, even against the orc cannon fodder legion. Don't look at the lower limit of orcs, but as long as there is that bloodthirsty bestiality, it is not comparable to ordinary serfs.

According to past experience, the combat effectiveness of an ordinary orc army is about equal to that of a newly formed legion that the Moxies have trained for more than half a year.

The main thing is to look at the race, some powerful races have combat effectiveness, and they can even surpass some elite legions.

It's just that in addition to the five royal families, the other powerful races of the Orc Empire have been weakened very much. Either they have been wiped out, or they are on the verge of extinction.

From this point of view, it is not only the rise of the human race that has led to the decline of orc hegemony, but also the internal fighting of the orcs is the core factor.

If the five royal families of the orcs did not suppress the development of the strong combat power races below, maybe they would be able to pull out the elite troops now, and they would be able to add a zero directly to the back.

The truth is like that, but when it comes to their own interests, not everyone can let go.

In order to protect the dominant position of the ruling group and suppress the rise of other races, it is only an instinct.

"Three super-formed elite infantry legions, two cavalry legions, plus five knightly regiments, and fifteen new legions.

Including the expeditionary force, plus the defenders of the city, we have more than enough. ”

Marshal Hodge said confidently.

Hearing this data, Hudson's face looked a lot better.

With a large number of troops on the front line of Terrance still able to organize so many troops, the family background of the Principality of Moxie is still a little thicker than he expected.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that these forces are the last forces that the Mossi people are preparing to resist after the fall of Dapest.

Now the sudden change of the situation has given the Mossi people hope, so they changed their original plan and prepared to lift the siege of Dapest first.

After pondering for a moment, Hudson said slowly: "Your Excellency, if your country can gather so many elites, it will not be difficult to relieve the siege of Dapest.

The problem now is that the orcs are behaving very abnormally, knowing that the main force besieging the city of Dapest is insufficient, they actually do not send reinforcements.

It's as if they're playing a big game of chess, waiting for us to take the bait, and the army besieging Dapest counts as bait.

I don't know very well about the changes in the situation on the front line, but the bear court on the opposite side has indeed increased its troops.

Two legions of bear-man infantry, plus a mysterious elephant cavalry. It's not an ordinary war elephant, but an elephant with the blood of a demonic beast.

The specific combat effectiveness is unknown, if there is a legend that half of the combat strength of the Magic Elephant Legion, our cavalry can only take a detour!

The number of orc ordinary legions has increased even more, and we haven't figured out the specific number of troops, but at least it starts at 100,000. ”

Hudson said with a solemn expression.

The Xiongren Imperial Court's wanton increase in troops was all caused by him. The bear man emperor, who suffered a big loss, has become a frightened bird.

A main army could no longer bring him a sense of security, so he simply transferred a large number of troops from the rear, directly eliminating the possibility of another attack.

At the very least, Hudson didn't have the courage to attack the Bearren court again.

With so many troops coming, it was certainly not just to guard the house. Revenge on the Flying Bear Castle, that's entirely possible.

The delay in taking action is primarily a matter of strategy. The Flying Bear Fort can't be taken in a day or two, and one hundred and eighty thousand beast lives can't fill this huge pit.

The city's material reserves, Hudson has also taken advantage of the peace vacuum in recent times, and has also obtained several material supplies.

If you want to break the city by besieging it, you must be prepared to fight a protracted war.

The bears don't have that much time to spend here, and even if they are willing to die here, the other four royal families won't agree.

The best way to take revenge is not to storm the city, but to lure the expeditionary force out of the city for a decisive battle.

In a head-to-head duel, an expeditionary force of the Bearman Infantry Legion can still deal with it; The two bearman infantry legions relied on tactics to carry out Zhou Xuan.

Anything more, Hudson would have had to run away with his infantry. Even if half of the recruits have been replenished in the country, it is still the initial tens of thousands of people who have combat effectiveness.

"Your Excellency the Earl, rest assured, we have inquired clearly. The orcs are massing armies on the front lines, mainly to invade the Warhammer Kingdom.

The Warhammer Kingdom has assembled a heavy army and is preparing for a decisive battle against the Orc Expeditionary Force in the province of Atrus.

At such a critical moment, the Orc Empire must gather heavy forces to launch a new round of offensive on the front line to contain the army on the front line of the Warhammer Kingdom.

From now on, the principalities were no longer the focus of their attacks. Perhaps at this time, the Bearman Imperial Court has begun to move.

As soon as the orcs have completed their movements, we will take action. Even if they wanted to turn around, the mobilization of the army could not be completed in a day or two.

As long as we are fast enough, we can relieve the siege of Dapest before the orc reinforcements arrive. ”

Seeing Marshal Hodge's confident appearance, Hudson extinguished his thoughts of continuing to persuade.

Whether it can be done or not, we still have to fight to know. Everyone is so well prepared, it would be too eyeless to pour cold water at this time.

"There is no problem, as long as your army can contain the main army of the orcs and block the reinforcements sent by the orcs, the rest will be left to the expeditionary force.

However, on the issue of war horses and weapons and equipment, it is still necessary to send someone to urge it. The sooner we complete the installation, the better our chances of winning. ”

Hudson said boldly.

The sincerity of the tone did not give Marshal Hodge the slightest chance to refuse. He tried to open his mouth several times, but finally he swallowed it back.

After all, it is a guest army, and it is okay to let people help, but it is still too embarrassing to expect others to act as the main force to take on the most tiring work.

The most important thing is that even if Hudson is willing to agree, the expeditionary force will not be able to contain the Orcs Beamon Cavalry Corps.

What is destined to be impossible to do, it is useless to say it. Only the cavalry troops can really bring diversion to the Beamon cavalry corps.

Two cavalry legions + five knights, the strength on paper is already very close to the Beamon cavalry legion.

If some cavalry were drawn from various units to participate in the battle, perhaps another cavalry corps could be assembled.

The difference in strength between the two sides is not large, it is only a containment of one or two, and the possibility of defeat is very small.

The real trouble is to intercept reinforcements. If you can't stop the orc reinforcements, no matter how good the front fight is, it won't work.

The five royal families of the orcs sent an elite legion in, and the situation would be reversed again.

"Your Excellency the Earl can rest assured that once the horses and weapons and equipment are in place, they will be equipped for the expeditionary force as soon as possible.

As for the deployment of the big war, it is still a little early to talk about this. When the situation becomes clearer, we will slowly communicate and discuss. ”

After all, it was a lack of confidence, and Marshal Hodge did not dare to give a positive answer.

The shift in the strategic focus of the orcs is just their inference based on the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and it does not mean that it will definitely happen.

In case someone makes a false shot, it is not impossible to continue to catch them and beat them hard, and make up their minds to destroy the Duchy of Moxi first.

……

With Field Marshal Hodge gone, Hudson's focus returned to army training. Compared with the past, there have been a lot of changes in recent days.

Although he did not receive explicit allegiance from his subordinates, more and more nobles showed favor to him.

If you can't receive it for the time being, you can also be friends. The adult world is realistic, and in the final analysis, it's still a deal.

"What you can get, what you need to give." will be the core factor that determines the choice you make.

This kind of thing is destined not to be rushed, and if it is too eager, it exposes the demand in advance, and on the contrary, it will put itself in a passive position.

Most of the nobles were ambitious, and they would not sell themselves unless they had to. The best way to compare them with them is not to subjugate, but to act as political allies.

As long as the relationship is handled well, when the flag is erected to recruit people in the future, someone will naturally send their children over.

Compared with these nobles with titles and fiefs, those noble children who have nothing are what Hudson can really "afford".

"Your Excellency, this is the new plan of the expeditionary force, please take a look!"

As he spoke, Baron Caitley handed Hudson a copy of the document.

This is one of Hudson's recent achievements. Although there was no drastic reform of the expeditionary force, he still created a small staff department internally.

The original military system has not been changed, and the newly released small staff department has limited its authority to staff officers and assist in handling military affairs.

It did not affect the leadership of the aristocratic officers over their own private army, did not violate the actual interests of everyone, and naturally did not cause waves.

Including the current adjustment of the army, it still follows the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom and expands it step by step.

Glancing at the list of officers and the allocation of troops above, there was not much change in the communication between colleagues first, and Hudson nodded slightly.

"Just follow the list above and release it to the public!"
