Looking at the fine war horses and stroking the shiny armor, Hudson was very satisfied.

The information of the Moxies is still relatively reliable. In recent days, the orc armies have indeed been gathering in the direction of the Warhammer Kingdom.

These war horses and weapons and equipment in front of them are the best proof of this. If it weren't for the orc army tightening the front, it would have been difficult to transport these things safely.

Of course, there is also a part of the credit of the expeditionary force. Hudson has not been idle these days, the six major infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment of the expeditionary force are all fully established, and the total strength directly exceeds the 120,000 mark.

The extra soldiers are naturally the result of overstaffing. Hudson didn't like the popular "soldier + horse" statistical method, where soldiers are soldiers and horses are horses, how can they be confused.

The total number of troops is as high as 120,000, that is, 120,000 people, without the slightest moisture.

The source of the soldiers and horses, except for the supplement of the Alpha Kingdom and a new army provided by the Moxies, the rest was accumulated by Lord Hudson himself.

Gathering the rout and recruiting young and strong men into the army are all routine operations. It can be said that as long as they are bumped into by Lord Hudson in the wild, they will be included in the army.

As for how many spies were planted by other forces, Hudson didn't care. As long as the main officers are their own people, it is enough, and there is no need for ordinary soldiers to trace the origin.

The fastest replacement on the battlefield is the soldier, and maybe one day he will fall on the battlefield, and the original identity will naturally no longer matter.

The problem of overstaffing is a major issue in peacetime, but now it is wartime. Today it is still in a state of supernumeration, and maybe tomorrow it will not even be fully established.

At the very least, the Moses like the expeditionary force for the time being. Although the cost is a little bigger, it can't bring a sense of security!

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

With successive victories and the certification of the Orc Empire, Hudson's name has resounded everywhere in the territory of the Duchy of Moxi.

We all know that more than 100,000 expeditionary forces are stationed on the front line of the Flying Bear Fort, and the nearby orc troops come out to patrol, all of them take the initiative to take a detour.

If this news reaches the ears of the Bear Emperor, I wonder if he will regret holding Hudson up in person.

"Kill", then someone has to kill. Although many orc generals wanted to take Hudson's head and forge their own merits, this did not include the middle and lower level orc officers and soldiers on the front line.

I don't know the inside story, judging only by the record on the surface, I suddenly came to the conclusion that Hudson is not easy to mess with.

Can't be provoked, can afford to hide. Orcs are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and even because the law of the jungle within the orc empire is more distinct, their fear of the strong is even better than that of the human race.

I can't figure out the strength of the expeditionary force, and after the relocation of the bearren imperial court, the orc army left behind behaved exceptionally peacefully.

The orcs obeyed the rules, and Hudson didn't go out to do anything. The 120,000 expeditionary force seems to be strong and strong, but in fact it can fight only 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Relax some standards, and there are 20,000 veterans who have seen blood, which can barely be regarded as semi-elite.

The rest were all recruits, and although they had received some military training, they were still substandard in Hudson's eyes.

In times of war, it is certainly too late for step-by-step training. Pulling out and playing a few tailwind fights is far more effective than a few months of dry training.

This is also the reason why Hudson readily promised the Moshees to send troops to relieve the siege of Dapest.

As long as the Moxi people dragged the main force of the orcs, the army of more than 300,000 orcs besieging Dapest was the whetstone for his training.

In fact, without the main army of orcs to suppress the formation, the defenders in the city would be able to carve out a passage on their own.

Dapest is a big city, and the orcs are not encircled. Without the highly mobile Beamon Cavalry Corps, there would be loopholes everywhere.

The strength of the defenders in the city is not weak, as long as the Moxi high-level dares to take risks, they can tear through the siege at any time.

Apparently this does not exist. The king is not in charge, and it is a group of princes and nobles who make decisions.

Once there are many people, it has nothing to do with decisiveness. Resolutions that can be agreed by the majority of people are usually conservative.

They would rather pay a lot of money to invite the expeditionary force to come to their hands than risk the safety of the city of Dapest.

The main thing is a serious distrust of the combat effectiveness of their own army. Even the elite legions are equally skeptical in the minds of Moxie's higher-ups.

No one is to blame, this perception is based on the previous achievements of the Moxie army, and the rational judgment is made.

If the elite is not elite, it is not enough to just talk about it, but it also has to go to the battlefield to perform.

No matter how good the training and equipment are, it is not convincing.

Including Hudson himself, who was equally skeptical of the fighting power of the elite legions of the Moshees.

It's not that I'm worried that they don't have strength, it's mainly a matter of military morale.

From the beginning of the war to the present, the Moxi army has been accompanied by defeat all the way. Occasionally, before he had time to rejoice, he was immediately overshadowed by a new defeat.

After tossing one after another, the morale of the military has long been tossed away. If you don't fall into self-doubt, it's all in a good state of mind.

This aspect and the expeditionary force are two extremes. At Hudson's behest, from the time the recruits entered the camp, they had to learn from the brilliant achievements of the expeditionary force every day.

The battle flag of the bear court is even more of an old actor. It has appeared in almost every large camp, for fear that some people will not know about the great achievements of Lord Hudson.

……

"Captain Caitley, I'll leave these horses to you. I want you to train the cavalry regiment for me in the shortest possible time! ”

Hudson said with a feigned appreciation.

The speed of cavalry expansion was too fast, and even if it was selected from the whole army, it would not be able to gather so many skilled soldiers with bows and horses.

Not so much cavalry, but infantry on war horses.

Even if they were prepared in advance, the soldiers had only received some basic cavalry training, and they were still far from becoming qualified cavalrymen.

Hudson knows exactly what level his cronies are. It's okay to command the infantry, but the cavalry is still a technical branch of the profession.

In the previous days, the number of cavalry was small, and Hudson personally commanded it. Now to support the expansion into an army, and then under the direct jurisdiction of him, the commander-in-chief, it will be too much work.

Looking at the entire expeditionary force, there are very few who are capable of serving as the commander of the corps, and even fewer can command the cavalry corps.

The choice of Baron Caitley, in addition to holding his handle in his hands, the main thing is familiarity.

"Your Excellency, in the case of the cavalry corps, it will take at least three months before it can be put into battle.

In a short period of time, we will bully the orc infantry at most. If you encounter the Beamon cavalry corps, I'm afraid you can't do anything! ”

Caitley said apprehensively.

finally got the high position of the commander of the legion, but the first task arranged by the boss ran into trouble.

The fact that the Mossi wanted to launch a battle to relieve the siege of Dapest was no secret to the expeditionary force.

The leak of the news had nothing to do with Hudson, it was mainly because the Moxies themselves did not know the secrecy, which made the news spread.

In a big war of this level, those with a little military common sense know that it is impossible for the expeditionary force to watch from the sidelines.

"Don't worry, you don't need to deal with the large force of Beamon cavalry, and the Mossi will take care of it.

If you do encounter it on the battlefield, you only need to think about being able to deal with one or two enemies of the Bimon cavalry regiment.

If you exceed this limit, then you don't need to do anything with them, just avoid it. ”

Hudson said calmly.

He had high hopes for this cavalry team. You must not lose it before it has played a role.

Directly confronting the Beamon Cavalry Legion, that's what the Knights should do.

……

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

Just after assigning the task and distributing all the weapons and equipment, a piece of news from China startled Hudson.

Many places on the northern frontier front have fallen, and the originally stable Alpha Kingdom has also experienced turmoil.

Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient, and after losing a large amount of land, the situation of the war was quickly stabilized.

Only when the situation improved did he send someone to inform him, it was clear that he was worried that the news would spread, which would cause the expeditionary force to be unstable.

Compared with the bad news of the defeat on the front line, the rumor that Emperor Bimeng has the "secret method of immortality" has a greater impact.

Almost instantly, the bad news of the defeat at the front was covered up and attracted the attention of countless people.

The topic of "immortality" is a topic that people rush to in any world.

Even Hudson, after hearing the news for the first time, couldn't help but be moved.

Emperor Bimeng lived to be 300 years old, and his longevity far exceeded that of normal Bimeng, which is an ironclad fact.

Then there are two explanations: either Emperor Bimeng secretly broke through the holy realm and greatly increased his longevity; Either he really has a life extension, or a secret method of longevity.

The possibility of the former is very small, and there is no need to hide such a big movement as breaking through the Sanctuary Realm, and there is no need to hide it.

If it is the second case, whether it is the secret method of life extension or the secret method of longevity, it is worth everyone's peeping.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still young and Shou Yuan was still sufficient, Hudson was not sure if he would be able to resist the temptation.

If you are still like this, those old guys who are about to die will be even more difficult to bear.

It is certain that the bloodiest battle will inevitably unfold around Emperor Beamon next.

Maybe it's not just the Terran masters, maybe the powerhouses of the alien race will also participate. After all, no one dislikes their longevity.

Regardless of who sent the news, it was a naked conspiracy. Even if they knew that someone was deliberately creating enemies for Emperor Beamon, they couldn't stop everyone's hearts.

After weighing the pros and cons, Hudson finally suppressed the idea of joining in the fun. Everything is focused on the overall situation of fighting the orcs, and it is definitely not his instigation.

……

The province of Atrus, the Armageddon that will determine the future fate of the Warhammer Kingdom, has begun.

Gathering all the armies that could be mobilized in the kingdom, Joseph II not only did not have high spirits, but his hairline continued to reced.

Whether the number of soldiers is strong or not, Joseph II did not know; But the difficulty of commanding with many soldiers has definitely skyrocketed, but he has realized it.

First of all, the most immediate problem is the logistics of the army.

An army of 700,000 people has been gathered one after another, and even if they don't do anything, just eating, drinking, and lazing every day is a big problem.

This is no longer a question of whether the nobles of the province of Atrus will cooperate. The point is that even if every household opens a warehouse, they can't muster enough strategic materials.

"What, the orc army has attacked our granary? Tens of thousands of tons of grain and grass were set on fire by the enemy. ”

Joseph II asked, almost roaring.

In order to raise this batch of strategic materials, he worked hard, but in the end, he was directly cleared by the enemy.

The loss of supplies is small, the key is that the army has to eat! Fortunately, he was cautious at the critical moment and did not store all the supplies together.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Minister of War replied with a grim face.

There is no doubt that this is a failing answer. Unfortunately, the paper has already been handed in, and there is no possibility of revising the grades.

Perhaps feeling that his answer was too abrupt to gain the king's forgiveness, Thiago hurriedly stepped forward and explained:

"Your Majesty, the orc army is coming too fast. The soldiers guarding the warehouse are all logistics personnel with low combat effectiveness in the kingdom, and they can't react to the enemy's surprise attack at all.

This is just the beginning, the enemy has now divided his forces, and it is obvious that he is not ready to engage in a direct decisive battle with us, and our logistical pressure will continue to increase in the future. ”

It's all true, with such a division of the orc army, the original decisive battle plan was directly scrapped.

The two-legged ones can't catch up with the four-legged ones. If you become active, the orc army will definitely keep doing things. The situation of the Warhammer Kingdom will become even more dangerous in the future.

"Humph!"

"Rubbish!"

"It's all a bunch of rubbish!"

"Why didn't you notice such a big thing as the division of the orc army in advance? You have to wait for the enemy to come up with something before you know how to report it. ”

Joseph II reprimanded sharply.

It's not that his cultivation is not enough, it's that the battle report is too ridiculous. They were all attacked in the granary, and only then did they know that the news was reported, which was obviously a dereliction of duty by the guards.

If something goes wrong with the troops below, the Ministry of Military Affairs will naturally take the blame, and it will not be unjust if it is scolded.

"Your Majesty, it happened too suddenly. There is no point in holding accountable now. Pressing matter. Or solve the threat of the orcs as soon as possible.

For the materials lost in front, we can also find a way to deploy some materials from other places to come over for emergency.

Except for a few nearby legions, they may have to tighten their belts and live a hard life for a while. The influence of others is not very great.

But if there is another mistake in the future, it will be really troublesome. ”

Prime Minister Guy analyzed rationally.

Finding a problem is not the same as solving it. Just when the high-level leaders of the Warhammer Kingdom were worried about the division of orcs, the scattered orc army also took action.

The looting of material warehouses is just one of the routine operations. Rob convoys, attack patrols, and occasionally break through a few camps, but don't fight them......
