Chapter 87: Taking Yourself as Bait
After repeated shirks, Hudson still did not escape the fate of the coalition commander.
The Mossi demanded that he happily refuse. How could it be that the Mossi people Lu Ziye activated the communication magic array at a great cost, and invited Caesar III to be a lobbyist.
In the face of his boss's earnest persuasion, Hudson was still unable to withstand the pressure and reluctantly took the hot potato.
Rushing ducks to the shelves, I have to admit that Moxi's heart is really big, and he is not afraid of his passivity.
In fact, Hudson really doesn't dare to make small moves now. For no other reason, after suffering a big defeat, his road to the great nobility was broken.
Perhaps it was because of this that Moxie went to great lengths to push him to the top.
The ability is strong enough not to crowd out everyone's interests, and he is bound to the future, and the commander who must work hard is such a commander.
Being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is extremely risky, and although the benefits are seriously insufficient, they are not completely absent.
For example: honorary titles.
If you win this battle, you can at worst get the title of marshal granted by the Duchy of Moxi. If you win the pretty, maybe your own kingdom will also grant one.
In the continent of Aslanth, the marshal is full of gold. If you are not experienced in a hundred battles, and if you don't have dazzling military achievements, you won't be awarded at all.
Especially in this kind of resistance to foreign invasions, the title of marshal obtained can be eaten all over the continent.
It is almost close to the career ceiling of the military, and above is the title of marshal awarded by the Terran Alliance, which can directly enjoy the treatment of marshal in all human countries.
Although the marshal awarded by the Terran Alliance has a high gold content, it is obtained by the big names in the history books. Everyone who has made a significant contribution to the development of the Terran race, and not a single one is still alive.
You can imagine how difficult it is. Anyway, it's not enough to defeat the orc invasion, at least you have to lead the Terran army to slaughter a knife from the orc empire.
Or participate in several battles against foreign invasions, accumulate enough outstanding achievements, and have enough good popularity, it is possible to obtain the approval of the Alliance Council.
These were things that Hudson could not have imagined. Being able to get the title of marshal of a principality is enough for him to take it out and pretend to be forced.
If he is lucky enough to obtain the title of marshal of his own kingdom, then he will become an important military general of the Alpha Kingdom, or one of the military spokespersons.
Originally, everyone would choose not to see the problem, and happily accept him into the circle of the great nobles.
Unlike now, even if Hudson gets the ticket to become a great nobleman, it is still unknown whether he can cross the threshold.
Woe to you!
While enjoying the dividends brought by the title of "Marshal", it is natural that you also need to bear the corresponding backlash.
"Acceptance" also means valuation. In the event of a conflict of interest, or even a potential conflict of interest, everyone will regard him as an opponent of the same grade.
If you want to continue to "live", it is impossible. Once the war is over, repression is inevitable.
This is a challenge that must be experienced by all strata of stratums. The difference is limited to the position below slightly more, and the competition is not so fierce.
There is no need to complain, at least there is still the possibility of cross-class in the Alpha Kingdom. Those who are in the hinterland of the human race, fighting a war is like a country of family, and there is no chance to jump from the class.
All are played according to the rules of the game, and the competition is hard power. Even if you have a thousand calculations and thousands of hills and valleys, there is no place for it.
After the cake at home is divided, you can only go out to find opportunities. After the orc invasion, many knights from inland countries came to join the army.
With Hudson's name, the expeditionary force also recruited many noble children from foreign lands. It's a pity that all aspects of ability are very average, and most people's military literacy is limited to commanding a team of ten.
Dacai, maybe! It's a pity that Hudson's fame is obviously not enough to attract cattle to defect.
Of course, Hudson prefers to believe that talent is cultivated.
Lack of systematic knowledge inheritance, no matter how strong the talent is, it can be raised.
In his position, seek his government.
This war was not easy to fight, and after sitting in the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hudson immediately began to make a big move.
The orc army was halfway there, and even if the Moses destroyed the road again, it wouldn't be long in coming.
It is certainly too late to train the troops, and the only thing that can be done is to temporarily integrate the command system and boost the morale of the troops.
The specific strategic deployment is one word "stability".
The 480,000 troops of the Principality of Moxi, plus the 110,000 expeditionary force, the total strength is approaching 600,000.
Commanding so many troops to fight was a real embarrassment for Hudson. Even if he has experienced the experience on the battlefield, but the span is so large all of a sudden, he still has no bottom in his heart.
It seems that there are many generals, but in fact, there are only about 100,000 elites. Among the remaining troops, it is estimated that there are only about 200,000 who have received military training and have been on the battlefield.
Hudson, who had inspected the barracks, could only be described in one word, that is, "indescribable."
Either serfs who had just laid down their hoes, or freedmen who had been forcibly conscripted into the army without knowing where to go. There is a high probability that there is a shortage of people, and in order to make up the number, measures have to be taken.
After all, the registered population of the Principality of Moxi is more than 8 million, and even if there is some concealment and concealment, there are at most more than 10 million people.
So far in the war, the Mossi have lost seven or eight hundred thousand, if not a million, of soldiers.
The loss of a large number of young and strong men will certainly seriously affect the conscription work. In order to complete the task, it is not strange to catch strong men to make up the numbers.
The soldiers were all forcibly recruited, and they had not yet had time for comprehensive military training, and the morale and combat effectiveness of the army could not be counted on.
Fortunately, the enemy is an orc, not a Terran civil war. Otherwise, when this kind of unit arrives on the battlefield, it will be able to immediately turn on the swing mode.
Considering the actual situation of the army, Hudson decisively decided that the future combat strategy of the infantry corps was to "harden the village and fight a dumb battle".
Don't expect a big victory, as long as you don't suffer a big defeat. The problem of finding fighters is left to the cavalry corps.
It is purely forced out by reality, and it cannot solve the enemy's air force, and most of the tactics can hardly play their due role on the battlefield.
……
"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish! A simple lure of the enemy into a rout can turn into a rout, you are simply ......"
Emperor Beamon's angry scolding did not look like the physical state that a three-hundred-year-old man should have.
The uproar of the Immortal Secret Law incident not only caused an uproar in human society, but even within the Orc Empire, there were many old immortals who were about to die and were staring at him.
If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Beamon had accumulated power for a long time, I am afraid that someone would have come to the door directly to ask for it. Being able to endure it now does not mean that you will be able to endure it forever.
The strong man who has come to the end of Shouyuan, once he goes crazy, he can do anything.
In the face of this unfavorable situation, Emperor Beamon was also secretly worried. The secret method was performed in the last step, and the number of sacrifices required far exceeded his previous estimate.
There are very few strong people who are scattered and cultivated, and most of the strong ones are in the major forces. It is not so easy to find a strong man who is lone and fight the black hand.
As a last resort, he could only set his sights on the battlefield. This is the only place where you can kill people in large numbers without arousing suspicion from the outside world.
In order to lure more masters over, when the news of the secret method came out, Emperor Bimeng simply pushed the boat down the river and allowed the message to spread.
However, the plan did not change quickly, and the master was lured over, but the quantity was so much more than expected, and the quality exceeded expectations.
Although the elderly and strong are not as good as their peak and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, these people also have their own advantages, such as: rich combat experience.
Another example: crazy enough. Whoever dares to stand in the way of their pursuit of immortality is their undying enemy.
When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, all kinds of strategies and tactics become unreliable. Obviously, he just wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but it really turned into a big rout, and it became a common thing on the battlefield.
The fish did not lead to the predetermined position, and the bait was eaten by the enemy first, so it is no wonder that Emperor Beamon could not suppress his anger.
It's not impossible to confront the enemy head-on, but it's destined to be an unequal exchange. Most of the people who came out of the human race were guys who came to the end of Shouyuan, and even if the group was wiped out, it would not have much impact on the strength of the race.
After all, even if these people don't die on the battlefield, they will die one after another in recent years.
Concentrate the power of the entire orc empire and exchange lives with a group of guys who are destined to die in the next few years, even if Emperor Bimeng is willing, the other four royal families will not agree.
Moreover, they were scattered in the first place. All that Emperor Beamon was able to mobilize now was the nearby army.
The nominal number of troops is in the millions, but anyone with a little military strength knows that it is impossible for so many troops to be gathered in one large battalion.
The enemy is not a fool, so he watched him deploy troops in a daze. Large-scale military readjustment on the front line is bound to pay a very painful price.
Before the army could be assembled, it was estimated that it would be disrupted. In a purely military confrontation, there is really little hope for victory.
In order to teach the enemy a lesson, Emperor Beamon also came up with the means of pressing the bottom of the box, and was ready to rely on extraordinary means to reverse the current strategic passivity.
It's a pity that the enemy is also a group of old foxes, and after crushing the bait of the three main legions that were scattered, he immediately turned his head and rushed straight to a nearby orc army, and did not follow his plan at all.
The scolding could not solve any problems, and the morale of the army had already dropped to a low point after suffering defeats all the way in the past few days.
Rao is Emperor Beamon wants to hold accountable for the defeat, and he doesn't know who to start. All the generals suffer defeat together, then defeat is deserved, and victory is different.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the enemy is too strong. The number of strong men in our army is too small, and almost as soon as they emerge, they will be besieged by the enemy, and the damage to the morale of the army will be too great.
Especially in the course of a big war, as long as the officers come out to direct the battle, it is difficult for them to escape the clutches of the enemy......"
Abraham hardened.
As one of the defeated generals, he has suffered several defeats. I lost a lot, and slowly I got used to it.
Glaring at Abraham fiercely, Emperor Beamon temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest. The reasons are all real, the orc army continues to suffer miserable defeats, and the biggest reason is that the number of strong people is too small.
Many times, a head-on collision is crushed by the enemy. The most direct reason was that the front-line officers who commanded the battle were killed in large numbers.
If you dare to take the lead, you must be prepared to be killed, so that after previous defeats, the death rate of officers remains high, especially the middle and high-level generals who die more.
After the rout is collected, it is really a rout. For the first time, there was a "shortage of officers" in the units below.
The position of the officer, which was originally "contested by beasts and beasts", has now become a hot potato. Hearing the word "promotion" can make many orcs break out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.
"I don't want to hear your explanations. Aren't they quite capable in the past? Every day, I clamored for the destruction of the human race, and wanted my orc empire to return to the era of subversion.
Now that you have fulfilled your wishes, the war has broken out, why don't you implement it?
Let me tell you, the enemy has been ruthless this time. They don't care which race or tribe you are, as long as you show the trend of decadence, the enemy will fight all the way to the orc empire.
It is like destroying many vanished alien races and erasing us from the continent of Aslanth.
Even if there are survivors, it's just a matter of survival. Under the rule of the Terrans, they were afraid and trembling all day long.
I don't want that to happen, so give me all the skills. Let your enemies know that we orcs are not to be trifled with, and dispel their unrealistic illusions! ”
Emperor Beamon reprimanded sharply.
It was obviously the hatred that he pulled out, but when it came to his mouth, it completely changed its flavor and became a problem for all orcs.
The cause is not important, the key is the effect. They have already made a move, and with the hatred of humans and beasts, there is a chance to destroy the orc empire, and they will definitely not be soft.
The matter of the "Secret Method of Immortality" is not clear to others, but the person involved in Emperor Bimeng understands it very well.
This thing, it can't be handed over. Once he takes it out, his descendants will rebel first.
What's more, this evil secret method is a thing with extremely strong side effects at first glance. Even if you hand it over, people won't believe it.
There is a high probability that it will be believed that this is a conspiracy planned by him in order to provoke the infighting of the human race.
Who made the secret method too difficult?
If you want to try, not only must you have a large number of masters as sacrifices, but you also have to kill a son to bear the backlash.
entry conditions, it has stuck countless people. Even if they have the ability to complete it, how many people are willing to stupidly kill a son for an experiment for the sake of a secret method whose truth cannot be determined?
The most pitiful thing is that it is not enough for a son to dedicate himself, but also to give birth to a sufficient number of sons, otherwise he can't afford so many backlashes.
Looking at the entire continent of Aslanth, there are very few that can meet all the conditions. The secret method that is destined to be unavailable will definitely not satisfy everyone.
"Your Majesty, if you want to lure the enemy into taking the bait, according to the previous practice, I am afraid that it will not be able to play a role.
Unless extraordinary means are used to give them a reason to come. Otherwise, it will be difficult to lure them over. ”
Abraham's proposal made Emperor Beamon's face change. "The reason why I have to come" is clearly to let him use his body as bait and take the bait of the Terran masters.
I wanted to refuse, but when the words came to my mouth, Emperor Bimeng swallowed them back.
In recent days, the losses of the orc army have not been a fraction of a star. The number of soldiers killed in battle even exceeded the sum of the previous months.
Even the elite legions of the five royal families have been overthrown by more than a dozen by the enemy. The troops who did not have a head-on duel with the enemy were also trembling with fear.
If this situation continues, I don't know if we can lead the Terran masters into the trap, anyway, the front-line orc army is really cool.
After one defeat after another, the officers and soldiers under his command did not have grievances, that was impossible.
Although they didn't say it one by one, deep down, they estimated that they didn't miss greeting the whole family of Emperor Bimeng.
It can be suppressed in a short period of time, and if it accumulates over time, there will eventually be an outbreak.
"Okay, this time I'll personally sit in charge of the Chinese army!"
