"How's it going, have you been contacted?"

Prime Minister Hercheg asked nervously.

Although the sudden action of the orcs did not completely cut off Dapest from the outside world, normal communication was still affected.

Faced with the blockade of the Hawkman Air Force, the griffin cavalry could only look for an opportunity to break through in the slits.

The communication in heaven is blocked, and the communication on earth is even more affected.

If you want to slip out from under the noses of the orc army, you need not only strength, but also luck.

It's not that there are more advanced communication methods, such as magic arrays.

But this thing is not only cumbersome to arrange, but also expensive and scary, and it can't be moved.

Since its birth, it has been a chicken rib product. Unless the alchemy technology is further improved, there is no possibility of popularization.

For a city under siege, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to lose contact with the outside world.

As soon as they sensed that something was wrong, the principality's top brass hurriedly sent people to sneak out of the city and contact the armies in various places.

"I got in touch, but it's just a little bad.

The coalition forces of the southern provinces, led by Count Fidris, were attacked by the Beamon legion and were now entrenched at Fort Erente.

The other armies didn't have much trouble, but we got bad news from the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force that the orcs were attacking the Terence Line in full force.

The exact circumstances are unknown, but Earl Hudson advises us to prepare for the worst.

At present, the expeditionary force has been accelerated, and it is expected that it will be able to arrive the day after tomorrow, and join us inside and outside to tear apart the orc encirclement of Dapest. ”

Count Martins said with a slightly apprehensive expression.

The more you know, the more troubles you have.

While others had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, he, the Minister of War, was well aware that the situation facing the Principality would become more and more difficult in the future.

The three northern powers were in trouble almost at the same time, and they couldn't find anyone to ask for help. The collapse of any one of them would be a major blow to the other two.

Nearby neighbors, let them support some supplies, and send troops to fight without embarrassing others.

Even if the countries could send reinforcements, Count Martins didn't know what to do with them. If you accidentally wipe out, you will be a big debt.

If you want to turn the tide, you can only wait for reinforcements from the Terran Alliance to arrive. But the premise is that they can hold on for that long.

"Will the Light Expeditionary Force and the defenders of Dapest be able to defeat the enemy besieging us?"

Prime Minister Hurcheg asked apprehensively.

This is the sequelae of the old defeats, and after a series of major battles, everyone lacks confidence in their own army.

"It should not be a big problem, Earl Hudson is not a reckless person, and he must have some certainty in daring to propose this plan.

Although there are 300,000 orc troops outside the city, they are all cannon fodder legions of the orc empire, and their combat effectiveness is very average.

The total strength of the expeditionary force has now exceeded 120,000, and they may not need our action to defeat the orc army outside the city.

However, it would be better to send some more troops over to be on the safe side. The infantry couldn't catch up, but the cavalry rushed over it was not a big problem.

The only suspense is whether the Orcs' Beamon Legion will come back to help.

However, we have two cavalry regiments, plus the newly formed cavalry regiment of the expeditionary force, and a few knights, so it should not be a problem to entangle them for a while. ”

Count Martins analyzed rationally.

I have to say that I have no confidence in my own family, but I am full of confidence in outsiders, I have to say that this is an irony.

But the reality is in front of us, in the battle ahead, the performance of the army of the Principality of Moxi is indeed substandard.

After the most difficult initial part of the war, the situation improved, but under the conservative strategy of Marshal Hodge, he still failed to show his success.

Just holding the line, or losing both in the field encounters, obviously can't reverse the negative effects of the early stage.

This depth of lack of self-confidence has a direct impact on the strategic formulation of the Principality of Moxie.

If replaced by a group of confident commanders, the Beamon cavalry would take military action as soon as they left.

Even if he didn't directly lead the defenders to kill, he would arrange for his men and horses to take the opportunity to go out and rob the camp, instead of sitting back and watching the situation change as now.

"If there's no other disagreement, let's do it!

Foreign Ministry, urge the alliance. The current situation, I always feel that something is not normal.

Emperor Beamon's old immortal came to the front line in person, and as soon as he came up, he tore open two lines of defense, and the Alpha Kingdom is now also in the news.

The situation in the Warhammer Kingdom was even worse, Joseph II led an army of millions, and he was unable to resist an orc expeditionary force.

Even if their actual strength was only half of what they claimed, it would be half a million troops. With so many troops pinned down there and unable to move, sooner or later something will have a big problem.

The situation in the principality is clear to everyone, and if the enemy's siege of Dapest is not broken as soon as possible, I am afraid that the next ......"

As the words came to his lips, Prime Minister Helcheg swallowed them back. The morale was not high in the first place, and after a few more blows, it would be completely gone.

Pessimism is spreading at the top of the Principality, and in addition to the deteriorating situation, it is also related to the changes in the top of the Principality.

Without the backbone of the king, Prime Minister Hurcheg is not a powerful minister, and no matter what decisions are made, everyone deliberates and votes.

This way of dealing with it is steady, but it always gives people a very reluctant feeling.

The current Principality of Moxy is in desperate need of a big victory to calm the hearts and minds of the people in turmoil at home.

Solving the siege of Dapest is not necessarily the best decision at the moment, but it must be the most effective option in a short period of time.

……

The Flying Bear Castle, since the withdrawal of the expeditionary force, has been subjected to the fiercest attack by the Bear Imperial Court.

Crossbow arrows, trebuchets, crystal cannons, and magic bullets flew all over the sky, and all the firepower beckoned to the defenders above the city walls.

It can be seen that the Bear Man Emperor is ready to vent all the grievances he has received on this castle.

This kind of strong attack at the expense of blood brought great psychological pressure to the defenders from the beginning.

The magic crystal cannons on the city walls are constantly ringing, and the bed crossbows and trebuchets are constantly firing salvos downward, but the Flying Bear Fort is just a fortress after all.

Compared to the entire Bear Man Imperial Court, all the firepower that he had on the battlefield of Moxi was still at a disadvantage.

After all, before the outbreak of the Great War, who would have thought that the Orc Imperial Court would spend such a great price to storm a military fortress?

Even if the offensive was to be so ferocious, it should have been directed towards the defensive hub of Terence City, not the strategically inferior Flying Bear Fortress.

Under pressure that it shouldn't have been, the ancient Flying Bear Castle wept in the midst of the war.

In the face of the overwhelming offensive of the orc army, if it were not for the isolation of the city, there was no way to retreat, I am afraid that the defenders would have collapsed long ago.

However, now this is just an appetizer, and the real bloody battle will be after the city is broken.

"Boom, boom......"

A loud bang was heard continuously, and after each explosion, a part of the city wall collapsed.

"What's going on, why hasn't the enemy's walls been torn apart?"

The Bear Man Emperor, who was watching the battle, asked with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has thickened the walls. Even if we bury the magic bullets that are designed to break the city under the city walls, we can't tear them all at once! ”

Perhaps seeing the bear-man emperor's ugly face, the middle-aged officer hurriedly added: "But even if the enemy thickens the city wall, it can't stop the heroic orc soldiers.

The collapsed walls were natural ladders that soldiers could follow the ruins and rush up the enemy's walls.

……”

As he spoke, the orc soldiers had already charged forward along the collapsed ruins of the city walls.

It's a pity that this blew up road is not a smooth road, and it is a little difficult to walk normally, let alone launch a charge.

Any delay on the battlefield costs lives. The charging orc soldier moved a little slower, and became a target for the archers.

This sacrifice was not in vain, a large number of orc soldier corpses gradually filled in the ruins, and a large avenue was piled up with the lives of beasts.

Seeing this scene, the Bear Man Emperor, who was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly ordered: "Let the bear man heavy infantry come up and tear open the enemy's turtle shell for me!" ”

The appearance of the bear man soldiers instantly attracted the attention of the generals defending the city.

Without the slightest hesitation, Raquel immediately ordered: "Quickly pour fire oil, and ignite the fire as soon as the enemy comes up!" ”

From a second-generation gentleman boy to a general who defends the city, Raquel also has words of suffering.

Originally, he had made up his mind to act with the expeditionary force and hug Hudson's thighs for melee.

I don't know which nerve is wrong with my own Lao Tzu, I actually think that it is too dangerous to follow the expeditionary force to relieve the siege of Dapest, so I left him in the Flying Bear Fort to garrison.

How risky the expeditionary force's trip was, Raquel didn't know, and he had already felt the danger of garrisoning the Flying Bear Fort anyway.

In the siege battle just now, the orc army suffered at least a few thousand casualties. With such a large casualty, there should be a pause or two.

But the bear man emperor who commanded the whole army outside was obviously a little superior, and directly ignored the casualties of the soldiers under his command.

Facing this kind of enemy, who wants to forcibly take the Flying Bear Fort regardless of his own casualties, is definitely not a good thing for the defenders.

In the depths of his heart, Raquel couldn't help but greet his father, he was too bad a son.

The right experience in the past does not mean that it will always be applicable.

It is dangerous to go out of the city to fight the orc army, but the fortress of the Flying Bear, which symbolizes the shame of the orc court, may not be safe.

Adversity is the most powerful way to grow, and it is by following Hudson all the way, and Laquel has learned a lot.

The current command, he is deployed according to the prior drill, to meet the attack of the orc army.

Although it is a little mechanical, Raquel has more reserves in his hands. Wherever there is a problem, send troops to reinforce it.

After several days of fighting, the Flying Bear Fort was actually defended without leaks, and the orc army simply failed to find a chance.

The raging flames not only blocked the attack of the orc army, but also took away dozens of bear-man heavy infantry who rushed forward first.

Perhaps it was the previous siege failure that exercised the bear man's mental endurance, and another failure did not cause his face to change.

"Your Majesty, we've wasted too much time in the Flying Bear Castle. If it continues to be delayed, I am afraid it will affect the next plan.

In case of a change on the front line due to this, it is difficult for the allies to explain it.

It is better to send a part of the army first and chase along the path of the expeditionary force, which not only blocks their back road, but also completes the agreement with the allies. ”

An elderly priest stepped forward to warn.

As the most special group of the Orc Empire, the sacrifice not only serves the important task of sacrificing to the gods, but also plays the role of the wise.

In the face of some of the top bear emperors, others did not dare to persuade them, but the respected old priest was not afraid.

After a slight hesitation, the Bear Man Emperor nodded and said, "Bruno, you have dealt with the expeditionary forces and know them best. This time it's up to you.

With the Third and Seventh Legions as the core, plus two Minotaur legions, two Pantherar legions, two boar man legions, and a centaur legion, a group army was formed.

I don't care about anything else, this expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom must not let them run away. ”

As the loser of the last war, according to normal circumstances, Bruno will be left idle if he is not held accountable. But in the army, in addition to the battle record, loyalty is also very important.

In the last battle, although Bruno suffered a big loss, he also indirectly rescued the bear court and proved his loyalty.

For his loyal subordinates, the Bear Emperor has always been very tolerant. For the sake of the reason, he decided to give Bruno's army another chance.

Looking at the allocation of troops, we can see that the newly formed group army is definitely not that kind of garbage army. They are also orcs, and the gap in internal combat effectiveness is also very large.

In this newly formed group army, there are not only two main legions of bearmen, but the rest of the major legions are also strong combat races, and the most difficult ones can also be sent to the middle and upper reaches of the orc empire.

Perhaps the combat effectiveness is not as good as the main army, but it also exceeds most of the cannon fodder regiments. On the battlefield, as long as you don't encounter the elite legion of the Terrans, it is also an existence that can kill all sides.

With such a strong capital, the Bear Man Emperor was also forced to do so. Shame can only be washed away with blood, and if the expeditionary force is not killed, the stain on his body will always remain.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! This time, I will definitely let the expeditionary force know that the dignity of our Xiongren Imperial Court should not be disgraced! Let that Earl Hudson die in remorse! ”

Bruno assured with confidence.

Originally, he was not convinced last time, but now that he has such a strong capital, there is no need to be afraid.

As for the great name of the expeditionary force in the orc empire, it was originally promoted by them, and it can't be done at all.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Bruno would have laughed happily. Isn't it a credit to take these troops to cut off the back road of the expeditionary force?

The only thing to worry about is the enemy running away.

However, this is not a problem, as long as the expeditionary force is not in the direction he is responsible for escaping, then he can dump the blame on the allies.

You can't destroy the enemy, but you can defeat the enemy as well. As long as the myth of the expeditionary force is broken, he is the hero of the bear people.

Of course, deep down, Bruno still longs to be able to kill the expeditionary force led by Hudson with one blow, and establish his status as a famous general in the Orc Empire.

Looking at his subordinates who were full of confidence, the bear man emperor said with satisfaction: "It's good to have this kind of confidence!"

Bruno, when you take Hudson's head, I'll throw a feast for you!" ”
