Chapter 265: Flooding the "Seven Counties"
"Orcs are crazy!"
This was the common idea of the countless soldiers of the defenders on the city walls. There is nothing wrong with attacking the city with the help of the big water, but everyone has never seen the way they take it away with their own people.
I have to admit that this kind of lose-lose style of play is the most surprising. The great flood that came ahead of schedule directly caught the defenders off guard.
Although Hudson had given the flood control directives in advance, it took time to get to work. Up to now, there are still many material warehouses, and the transfer has not been completed in time.
The ships that the logistics department was ordered to build are still being processed in the rear, and very few have arrived at the front line at the moment.
"Pass the order, let the air force all attack and shoot the orc soldiers who have fallen into the water!"
Hudson hurriedly ordered.
Without enough ships, it was difficult for the defenders to go out and chase the enemy. At this moment, the only one who can beat the water dogs is the air force flying in the sky.
As many as you can kill, count as much as you want. As a qualified commander, any opportunity to weaken the enemy, should not be missed.
Under the baptism of floods, it was a foregone conclusion that the defenders suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, there were orcs with him, otherwise Hudson would have thought about crying.
Those who don't know will only suspect that the orcs are crazy, and at most they will think of the orc infighting, but Hudson knows that this is self-defeating.
In the absence of any experience in water conservancy construction, it is natural to organize a large number of people to build dams on the river, and also play multi-ethnic joint construction, and no accidents are the biggest accidents.
Originally, people were engaged in the tofu scum project, and they also ran to plug in a hand, so that the quality of the uncontrollable project became more and more downward.
They are all a group of goods with no construction experience, and it is obviously a luxury to want them to control the intensity of destruction.
The quality of the project is never determined by the upper limit. All it takes is a stretch of land that is not compacted to destroy a dam.
Hudson had no doubt that this group of orcs would dare to pave a few meters of plain soil at a time before it was manually tamped.
Even in the opinion of some orcs, the lower the tamping strength, the better, so that they can dig a few square meters of soil and transport it to backfill, and complete the tasks assigned above more efficiently.
As for the possible consequences of this, Hudson did not think that the low-level orcs, with an average IQ of less than 60, would be able to figure things out.
If you don't know the high-level of the Orc Empire, you don't know: the construction process is not up to standard, and the dam will collapse under the erosion of the current.
Perhaps in the cognition of the orc high-level, if the strength of the dam earthwork is not enough, then the magic reinforcement is used, and the magic reinforcement is also an upper limit without considering it.
As the water level continues to rise, so does the pressure generated, which is simply not something that a few magic can withstand.
In the face of the raging flood, Hudson did not order the water inlet to be blocked, not because he did not want to block the water outside the city, but because he could not block it at all.
Even if you can block the city gates, you can't block the sewers. At this moment, there are not only floods in the fortress of Satkes, but also various ...... brought out of the sewers
In short, the flood caused very big problems for the defenders.
A large amount of supplies did not have time to be transferred and were soaked in floodwaters. Countless bacteria and viruses gush out of the sewers, increasing the probability of causing various diseases.
Looking at the raging water in front of him, Hudson was mentally prepared for the plague.
After all, the soldiers in the city can still hide in the buildings, but the orcs outside the city are directly taken away by a wave.
If you don't die, millions are sorry for this great flood.
Deep down, Hudson had already mourned for Daniel. Maybe he didn't need to make a move, and after the war, the orcs themselves would kill the commander of the army who planned this water attack.
Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless, and this is the price of not being proficient. Whenever a large water conservancy project is built, Daniel will strictly control the quality of the project before taking action.
Even if it's a one-off dam, it requires technology.
Don't say that this temporary earthwork dam will collapse, even if it is a reinforced concrete dam, it will be washed away as soon as it is impounded.
The orcs were even more ruthless, directly resisting the pressure of the water flow and constantly raising the dam, with no construction process at all, without considering the stability of the dam foundation.
With the continuous ravaging of the great water, one city after another and fortresses were surrounded by the great water, and the seven counties in the border area were all reduced to Zeguo.
The noble lords on the front line have begun to cry in their hearts at this moment. Years of hard work have now been wiped out.
Unless a few lucky ones have a high territorial position and are lucky enough to escape, the infrastructure in the rest of the region will be torn down and rebuilt.
Theoretically, the kingdom would subsidize the border lords who suffered heavy losses after the war, but when they can get the money depends on whether the treasury still has money in their pockets.
……
On the prairie, Daniel, who had escaped all the way to get rid of the threat of floods, stood on a small dirt bag and looked at the ocean of the world, tears falling down his eyes.
It's all over!
The worst defeat in the history of the Orc Empire was born in his hands.
"Aftermath" work, which already has nothing to do with him.
This fiasco is enough to erase all past exploits together.
Staring into the distance, Daniel vaguely heard the heart-rending struggles of the orc soldiers, and the angry scolding of gnashing teeth.
It seems that countless people pointed at his nose and denounced it: it was all because of his stupidity as a commander that led to the tragedy of the scene in front of him.
There is no salvation, and under the baptism of the water, the army has long been in disarray.
Of all the orcs, except for the flying Eagle Men and the swimmer Frog Tribes, the rest of the races suffered heavy losses.
In particular, the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry in armor are even more animal tragedy. There is a body of iron bumps dragged down, even if you can swim, you can only passively sink to the bottom.
At the last moments of their lives, they no longer complained about the bad quality of the armor, but about the quality being too good.
In order to survive, the dirt bags on the grassland have become a battleground for countless orc soldiers.
The crowding scene was staged immediately, and some soldiers in the middle were even directly squeezed to death.
The competition among the orc soldiers on the periphery is even fiercer, and in order to compete for a foothold, the beastly side is fully revealed here.
In order to survive, the powerful races have carried out expulsion and slaughter of the weaker races.
The "killing" began, and it could never be stopped.
In order to survive, a steady stream of orc soldiers poured in one after another, and blood stained Tuqiu.
A group of griffon cavalry who happened to pass by almost fell from the sky when they saw this horrific scene.
"Hans, what are you doing stupidly, hurry up and go somewhere else!"
Indeed, the cannibalistic orcs don't need them to do much.
When these guys are done, it's not too late to turn around and come back to clear the remnants.
The orcs who fell into the water are not as good as pigs, and even the big people who were high in the past are struggling to survive in the water at the moment.
When I met Xiao Tuqiu, it was all blessed by the beast god, and more orcs have been struggling in the water.
Even if it is a seventh-order powerhouse, if he is unlucky, he may still die in the ocean.
……
At Fortress Satex, Hudson stood at the highest point of the wall, looking down at the raging flood below.
"The water level is no longer rising, it's a pity!
If this flood had been a few days later, the Orc Empire would have been history. ”
Fortunately, the orcs who were struggling in the water did not hear his feelings, otherwise they would have been to death.
It's not enough for the army to be swept away, and it's really ...... to think about annihilating them all
Running out of words!
With their scarce knowledge, they really can't find the right adjective.
The water lasted for more than an hour before the water level in the city reached its peak, and it is not known how long it will take for it to recede.
Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge knows what happens when an army soaks in water for hours.
Even if it won't be wiped out, there's not much left.
Now is the time to test your luck, if the ground is high enough to set up camp, you can still pick up a life; If you're unfortunate enough to stay in a low-lying area, learn to swim!
At the moment of life and death, the best way to push the limit is out. Countless landlubbers have passively learned to swim.
As for those who can't learn, they are already floating on the water at the moment, drifting with the current.
Of course, the unlucky ones in armor are exceptions, and the iron pimple directly sinks them to the bottom, and they don't even have a chance to struggle.
"Hudson, you're ruthless!"
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, a group of spirits floating in the air were glaring at Hudson.
If his eyes could kill, he would have been broken into thousands of pieces at this moment.
"Miss Delis, don't rush like this every time we meet!"
Hudson said angrily.
Although there are a lot of elven sanctuaries in front of him, the Satekes Fortress is his home field, and there are many seventh- and eighth-order masters in the city, and the magic crystal cannons and magic crossbows on the city walls are also helping.
Even if there is a fight, most of the people who suffer are these elves.
Of course, it's better not to fight or not to fight. Letting a seventh- or eighth-order master participate in the Sacred Realm War is to fill it with human lives.
Even if it wins, the loss of the kingdom will be very heavy.
"Humph!"
"Why do you dare to do it, are you still afraid of being said?"
Delis asked mockingly.
After living for hundreds of years, she has also seen a lot of ruthless people, and it is the first time she has encountered such a ruthless Hudson.
first burned the company camp, and then flooded the Seventh Army, which vividly interpreted the ruthlessness.
"Miss Delis, I think you're mistaken. If you walk around the city, you won't say that!"
Hudson said with a pretended sadness.
Since it was self-defeating, then he was not ready to ask for the credit of this great flood.
Since the dam was built by orcs, the black cauldron naturally had to be carried by them.
In the same face of the flood, some races suffered heavy losses, and some races escaped, Hudson did not believe that the races with heavy losses would have no idea.
The vitality is greatly damaged, and the internal contradictions are intensifying, and this orc invasion is actually over.
It turned out that the Dafa of throwing the pot was really effective, and after flying around the city, the expressions of the elves became complicated.
Although the defenders were prepared, they were obviously unable to cope with the heavy water in front of them.
"Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 80 self" is obviously not in line with Hudson's consistent style. Referring to previous cases, he will minimize losses as long as the situation allows.
Thinking that she had insight into the truth, Delis didn't know how to complain. After glaring at Hudson fiercely, he said angrily, "Let's go!" ”
She wants to be embarrassed, this kind of scene is too embarrassing.
Since it was the orcs who died by themselves, the tragedy was caused, then the follow-up problem has nothing to do with the elves.
As the leaders of the Anti-Human Alliance, they only need to be responsible for containing the Terran Sanctuary from participating in the war, and this time they came over for a routine investigation.
Hudson was a little embarrassed to see the elves flying away, and this old aunt was too easy to fool.
I didn't say anything, I just made up the whole content in my head.
Since the elves think so, then this black cauldron Daniel is determined.
Judging from the investigation, the orcs in charge of the construction were the first victims. The parties are all dead, and there is no way to investigate afterwards.
The problem exposed on the bright side is that the quality of the project is not up to standard.
If you continue to study deeply, it is nothing more than that the construction period is too tight, resulting in unqualified project quality.
The spearhead is still pointed at Daniel's unlucky bastard, who gave the order to speed up the construction progress?
As the minutes passed, the disaster situation in various places was passed on one after another.
Thanks to the preparation in advance, even if it was caught off guard, the previous measures still saved a lot of losses.
"Marshal, information from all over the country that the seven border counties have become the hardest hit areas of this flood.
The specific losses cannot be counted for the time being, but the materials soaked in the flood alone are enough to tens of thousands of tons.
The casualties were also as high as thousands, with more than 500 bodies found alone and more than 2,000 missing.
The only good news is that the river has been drained upstream, water levels are starting to drop everywhere, and the water is expected to recede this evening. ”
After listening to Jose's report, Hudson rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Not all front-line generals have his quick response, and after discovering that the flood is coming, he can give the first order to deal with it.
A slow step is the beginning of disaster.
Caught off guard by a major flood, the soldiers in the city were fine, and the soldiers patrolling outside were basically taken away in waves.
The soldiers who went missing in the flood were most likely killed.
Civilian casualties, for the time being, have not yet been counted, but they will certainly surpass the soldiers.
In particular, the old and weak women and children in the city have experienced such a great stimulus that even if they are not drowned, they can be scared out of illness.
"Pass the order, let the troops everywhere strictly implement the epidemic prevention rules and regulations, and properly deal with the plague that may occur next!"
There was no mention of the pursuit of the enemy army, and now that the situation has receded, the orcs have no time to flee for their lives, and they can't stay where they are and wait for death.
It was impossible to fight again, and all the baggage carried by the army was washed away by the flood.
The cattle, sheep and horses are all gone, and those who can pick up a life are the lucky ones, so what can they do to continue fighting?
If it weren't for the muddy roads, which were not suitable for the movement of the army, Hudson would have ordered a full-scale counterattack.
……
"Your Highness, let's go!
The empire no longer has a place for us, and the waters have not yet completely receded, and it is the perfect time for us to leave.
Enter the ice and snow world first, and when you avoid the limelight, it's never too late to come back! ”
The head of the guard anxiously persuaded.
If such a big accident happens, there must be accountability. All the evidence against the present points to Daniel.
If the boss is liquidated, their little brothers will not be able to escape.
There is no point in explaining, now all parties are angry. It is estimated that as long as Daniel shows his face, he will be torn apart by the angry orc races.
"There is no chance, with the power of this great water, it is enough to destroy the main force of the empire, I ruined the empire!"
Daniel said bitterly.
A moment of misstep and hatred for eternity!
originally thought that it was a conspiracy to force the enemy to come out for a decisive battle, but he never thought that he would become the culprit of burying the orc empire.
If you die in the battlefield, it's just that, as a fighting race, everyone is born with this awareness. As long as the war can be won, all losses are worth it.
But the current situation is: instead of dying under the enemy's butcher's knife, he was pitted by his own people.
Obviously, it was the flooding of the enemy's Seventh Army, but they played it as a flooded enemy's Seven Counties, but they lost their own "Seventh Army".
"Your Highness, you can't be blamed for this. If it weren't for those guys urging for a decisive battle, you wouldn't be in danger.
Since they have chosen to take risks, they have to bear the consequences of the failure of the plan, but they can't bear this pot for them!
It's not too late for you to take shelter for a while and wait for the situation in the country to change.
Anyway, Hudson is so powerful, no one else is an opponent except you, and when they suffer, they will remember your kindness! ”
The chief of the guard tried his best to persuade him.
Seeing that his boss was still unmoved, he gritted his teeth and turned his heart sideways, and directly shot out from behind to stun Daniel, who was in a trance, and carried the person directly away.
