Chapter 81, pig teammates
With a "whoosh" sound, an arrow flew out of the centipede soldier and directly hit a demon crocodile general.
"Ahh
The screams rang out, and the nearby demon crocodile soldiers became angry in an instant after finding out the situation.
A group of lost dogs, who dare to stretch out their paws to them, is simply dying in battle.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge must be taken!"
……
Seeing the anger of the demon crocodile soldiers, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the centipede general. Hurriedly ran to the soldier who released the arrow as fast as he could, and asked sharply, "Who let you release the arrow?" ”
If you don't have an order from above, you can start a war without permission, and it will be fatal. As a front-line commander, he must have a share of the responsibility.
He was answered not by explanation, but by indifference. The enraged centipede general slapped it out, only to fall as soon as he touched the centipede soldier.
Taking a closer look, it directly frightened the centipede general. The centipede soldier who fell to the ground actually had maggots rolling on his body, and it was clear that he had been dead for many days.
Because of the perennial existence in the underground world, the dark aura on the centipede soldiers' bodies is strong, and it is not difficult for the routs to gather recently, and temporarily blend in a few manipulated corpses.
"Someone manipulated the corpse and deliberately provoked a conflict between them and the Demon Crocodile Clan!"
Realizing this, the centipede general knew that things were going to be bad, and hurriedly ordered: "Report it immediately!" ”
It's a pity that it was a step too late, and a demon crocodile with red eyes had already thrown the weapon in his hand at them, directly completing a series of two records.
After seeing this scene, the centipede soldiers were also furious. Before they could figure things out, the crocodiles turned their faces and showed that they were bullying them.
Just when a group of centipedes were waiting for the general's order, suddenly a group of centipede soldiers who were not afraid of life and death took up their weapons and attacked the demon crocodile soldiers stationed there.
The conflict escalated too quickly, and before the generals on both sides could intervene, the soldiers below took the lead in doing it.
The alliance between the two races itself is forced to have no alliance, but endless hatred between the two sides.
When they met on the battlefield at this moment, the contradictions between the two sides immediately ignited. At first, a local area launched a firefight, and soon it spread like a tornado to the entire battlefield.
……
"What, there's a fight?"
After receiving this news, the Centipede King was angry and half dead. He hesitated until now, mainly because he didn't want to tear his face with the Demon Crocodile Clan.
Now there is no need to hesitate, the soldiers on both sides have already started fighting, stained each other with each other's blood, and the alliance between the two clans has been directly shattered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard hurriedly replied.
The process of initiating the conflict is not important, anyway, the situation has deteriorated to this point, and there is no possibility of de-escalation between the two communities in the short term.
"Your Majesty, this is the case, hurry up and give the order to attack!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Terran army did not catch up, they first seized the passage to the center of the earth, withdrew the troops to the inner world, and preserved the vitality of the race as much as possible. ”
Prime Minister Jiawat's statement frightened a group of centipede executives. The main peace faction suddenly became the main battle faction, and this position changed too quickly.
You must know that these main battle factions, after learning about the strength of the Demon Crocodile Clan's garrison, all hesitated about the plan to forcibly rush through the pass.
After a brief loss of consciousness, everyone reacted immediately. The front line is fighting, and the contradiction between the two ethnic groups is by no means a "misunderstanding" that can make the other side stop.
Pinning the safety of the race on the trust of the high-level of the Demon Crocodile Clan is obviously not very reliable.
There is no better choice, and it can only go all the way to the dark. What they need is to fight their way out, not to annihilate the enemy, and the success rate is still five or six points.
"Pass the order, and the whole army will attack and seize the passage to the center of the earth!"
The Centipede King ordered with a little trepidation.
The situation did not allow him to hesitate, the Terran army was only a day and a half away from them, and if they could not quickly seize the passage and evacuate, their fate would be destroyed.
……
In the Demon Crocodile Camp, after receiving the news of the Giantfoot Centipede's attack, the guard Bram smiled disdainfully.
"Look, you know that those stinky centipedes don't have brains. A group of remnants of the defeated army also dared to attack us.
Command the troops, give me a fierce counterattack. Let these idiots understand who is ......"
Before he finished speaking, the handsome camp suddenly changed. The Demon Crocodile Soldier guarding outside suddenly fell to the ground, and four Giant Foot Centipede Sanctuaries appeared directly in front of them.
"Enemy attack!"
After the warning was issued, the demon crocodile generals scattered and fled. was infiltrated into the camp by the enemy, and the command was accurately found, and no one had the luck to do so.
After receiving the call for help, the two Demon Crocodile Sanctuaries who stayed behind immediately became furious, which clearly did not take them seriously.
It is indeed a bit difficult to fight two against four, but this is their Chinese army camp, and with the cooperation of the soldiers in the barracks, the two sides are evenly matched.
The aftermath of the battle quickly razed the Shuai camp to the ground, and the fluttering Shuai Banner did not escape the catastrophe.
The sudden change confused many demon crocodile soldiers.
Knowing that the Shuai camp was secretly attacked, the generals didn't care about continuing to wait for orders, and immediately led the army to participate in the big battle.
Bram, who had narrowly escaped, was several miles away from the battlefield before he came to a breathless pause.
was about to transfer troops, but the battlefield was already in chaos.
All units participated in the war instinctively, and the coordination and coordination between them completely depended on the consciousness of the soldiers.
Team after team of heralds are constantly shuttling through the chaotic battlefield, and when the military order will be delivered depends entirely on luck.
The chaos of the Demon Crocodile camp provided an opportunity for the Giantfoot Centipedes, but unfortunately the centipede army was also not in a state at this time.
The weapons and armor have long been lost, and many soldiers go to the battlefield with temporary wooden sticks, all hanging by the obsession of "going home".
There is a strong enemy in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.
If it can't seize the passage to the center of the earth, the only way left for the Giantfoot Cendipede is to destroy it.
"Don't spare your hands, the whole army will press it together!
Either defeat the enemy and fight all the way back to your hometown, or bury your bones here today! ”
After saying that, the Centipede King personally led the guards to charge.
Stimulated by this, the morale of the centipede army instantly soared, and they launched a charge with a roar.
……
In the clouds, Hudson, who saw the two armies fighting hard and lurking to watch the battle, showed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.
As expected, the worship group is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
originally thought that there would be a lot of trouble in provoking a conflict between the two sides, but a few corpses completed the task.
Of course, the two sides were able to clash quickly, and psychedelic magic played no small role.
The provocation is so obvious that it is inevitable to leave traces.
If the occasion were to be changed, the high-ranking generals on both sides would definitely find out that something was wrong and send people to investigate the cause of the conflict.
The Demon Crocodile Clan is not the same as the Giant Foot Centipede, they are originally feuding. From grandparents to grandchildren, the hatred continues.
In the absence of an external enemy, they will fight on their own.
Even if it is a coalition, it is forced by the situation, and there is no basis for trust between the two sides.
Any spark would ignite this powder keg.
The strategic goal was achieved, and Hudson decisively withdrew. The next step is to leave enough space for the two clans to fight.
Whether it is the Demon Crocodile Clan defeating the Giant Foot Centipede, or the Giant Foot Centipede destroying the Demon Crocodile Army, it is acceptable to fight a way home.
"Where are the reinforcements of the Demon Crocodile Clan now?"
Back at camp, Hudson asked.
Compared with the enemy forces in Yangguan County who fell into calculations, the main force of the Demon Crocodile Clan was the focus of his attention.
The victory of the coalition forces along the way, that also paid the price.
The pace of the march slowed down, partly to allow time to clear out the remnants of the enemy, and partly to wait for the rear to deliver strategic supplies.
The army has captured a lot of daily supplies such as food, but consumables such as magic crystals, arrows, and magic lamps are in urgent need of replenishment.
Compared with ordinary armies, the material consumption rate of the two coalition forces led by Hudson is obviously much faster.
If you completely count on the Hesses, then you don't have to go to war, and logistics alone can collapse people.
It's not that the Kingdom of Hesse is deliberately dragging its feet, the main thing is that they have too many fronts, and all parts of the country are reaching out to the royal government.
Limited strategic resources must be supplied to multiple battlefields at the same time, and the share of the coalition forces cannot be satisfied at all.
In this context, the logistical supply of the coalition forces was jointly provided by the southeastern provinces and the Kingdom of Hesse.
Of course, all the strategic materials provided by the southeastern provinces need to be discounted.
After the end of the war, the two sides will also carry out a material liquidation, and they will make up as much as they need.
"Marshal, the army of demon crocodiles is advancing very fast, and there are hardly any delays along the way.
It is expected to enter the province of Palma tomorrow, and in three days at the latest, it will be able to resist Yangguan County.
Calculate the time, and when we finish cleaning up the enemies here, they will just be able to resist the battlefield! ”
Earl Pierce said with a smile.
It can be seen that his appetite is very big, and he not only wants to swallow the two enemy troops in the urn, but also wants to swallow the reinforcements of the Demon Crocodile Clan in one bite.
"Since the enemy is coming, let the army stop advancing!"
The turning order directly confused everyone.
Ever since they knew that the enemy was dog-eat-dog and played cannibalism, everyone was thinking about waiting for both sides to lose and go up and kill a litter.
Hudson's new order clearly did not follow everyone's preset plan.
Once the army stops advancing, even if the giant-footed centipede and the demon crocodile defenders are victorious, it will be difficult for them to pounce on the ground in the first place.
"Marshal, if we don't do it immediately, wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, and then try to seize the passage to the center of the earth, it won't be so easy!"
The Marquis of Simeone said with a slight embarrassment.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to jump out and question Hudson. Past experience has proven that Hudson's orders were never untargeted.
However, as the commander of the Hessian army, he must be responsible for the soldiers under his command, and even more so for the kingdom.
Executing orders in a daze, and if anything goes wrong, he is the first person responsible.
"It doesn't matter, our strategic goal is to destroy the enemy army, and as for the Geocentric Passage, it's just an appendage.
It's best to be able to control it in your hands, and don't be discouraged if you can't get it. As long as the strategic objectives are accomplished, the minutiae are not worth mentioning at all. ”
It is impossible to explain, and it is not to train your own subordinates, so there is no need to explain things too clearly.
can comprehend that it is God's reward for eating, and it is naturally suitable for the battlefield.
I couldn't understand his intentions, so I went back and thought about it slowly.
As a manager, you don't need to let everyone know what they want.
……
Speeding up the march all the way, the Demon Crocodile King was apprehensive in his heart, lest the enemy's cavalry suddenly jump out and make trouble.
There was a fiasco of the Giant Foot Centipede, and he didn't dare to take it lightly at all.
Looking at the horse rejection stake that had been made temporarily, the Demon Crocodile King asked Venerable Lucier with a puzzled face:
"Venerable, just a few pieces of wood put together can restrain the enemy's cavalry?"
The plan to deal with the cavalry was given by the Stone Man Clan, and they chose to build a horse rejection pile, because this thing is simple to make and does not have any technical content.
It is precisely because there is no technical content that the Demon Crocodile King's heart is bottomless.
According to his understanding, cavalry, a powerful type of troops, should be quite troublesome to deal with.
"Your Majesty, these things can only play a certain role, and it is best to choose a crossbow soldier + pikemen army formation to resist cavalry attacks.
You've seen the power of magic crossbows, and if you have thousands of them, plus legions of pikemen, you can hold back the enemy's cavalry.
Of course, these are passive means of defense, and if you want to destroy the enemy's cavalry, it is better to use cavalry.
These things are too far away from you, and it's never too late to think about it when the enemy army is defeated and the situation is stabilized! ”
Venerable Lucier replied calmly.
Large-scale cavalry battles, he had only heard of them, but he had not really understood them.
The increase in the number of cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom was also after the capture of large areas of the steppe.
It was precisely because it had the most high-quality pasture among the Terran countries that the cost of raising war horses was brought down, and the cavalry appeared in the army on a large scale.
A province can randomly pull out tens of thousands of cavalry, plus a few full-fledged knights, which is unimaginable in other countries.
Because of the long period of time for raising war horses, this benefit is only enjoyed by the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom, and has not yet been exported to the outside world on a large scale.
The countries of the Central Continent are still dominated by infantry, and the Stone Man Kingdom naturally has no chance to see the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charges.
The tactics against cavalry are also stuck in the past.
In general, if the enemy army is able to dispatch five or six thousand cavalry, then it is already a big battle.
The experience of lagging is also better than not having it at all. Taking it out to fool this group of demon crocodiles, Venerable Lucier did not panic at all.
After a pause, Venerable Lucier then added, "These methods are limited to ordinary cavalry.
When encountering the enemy's Warcraft Legion, small means such as rejecting horse stakes and trapping horse pits have no effect.
Only the magic crossbow + pikemen army formation can play a certain role. Now that the conditions are not ripe, you should be careful. ”
The answer almost made people vomit blood, and the angry Demon Crocodile King almost couldn't control his emotions and wanted to turn his face on the spot.
There was also a promise from the front: with the help of the Stone Clan, the enemy's cavalry would not be a problem.
It's only been a few days, and the style of painting has changed abruptly.
It's useless to be angry, Venerable Lucier is sincere, and directly told him all the truth, without digging a pit and burying mines on it.
The previous assurances were that it was against the cavalry of the Hessian Kingdom, not the cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom.
The opponent has changed, and the original plan naturally cannot guarantee 100% reliability.
Regardless of whether it works, at least a new plan is given.
It's just that there are not so many magic crossbows in the Demon Crocodile Army, and there is no military formation for cavalry, which directly makes the new plan stillborn.
"Pass the order and let Marshal Kanter expand the scope of reconnaissance and beware of a sneak attack by enemy cavalry!"
The Demon Crocodile King immediately ordered.
It is a matter of the safety of the geocentric channel, and no matter how high the risk is, it must be taken.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"Those damn centipedes took advantage of our unpreparedness and suddenly launched an attack on the defenders at the passage through the center of the earth, and they are fighting fiercely at the moment!"
Hearing this bad news, the Demon Crocodile King was momentarily stunned.
Although they knew that the pig teammate of the Giant Foot Centipede was a pit goods, they never expected that they would be able to pit to this point.
Instead of fighting the enemy, but attacking them as an ally, it is simply the pinnacle of pig teammates.
At the entrance to the center of the earth, they also deployed a lot of magic crystal cannons, and if it weren't for the alliance between the two clans, the giant-footed centipede wouldn't be able to get close.
At the beginning, it was a short-handed battle, and the long-range strike ability of the magic crystal cannon was directly reduced to a decoration.
Just think about the consequences!
was tossed by the giant-footed centipede like this, and the originally impregnable defense line of the geocentric passage directly turned into rags.
With the style of a giant foot centipede, once they break through the defense line, after returning to the inner world, they will definitely attack the inner channel.
Even if the defenders blocked their attack, and the Terran army was still trailing behind, the geocentric passage was still in danger.
