Chapter 153: Unexpected
"Report!" the herald ran into the big tent from outside with an anxious face, the prince Taylor was discussing the battle plan with a cadre of generals in front of the sand table, and when he heard the latest news, he temporarily put down the baton in his hand, took the military report brought by the soldier, and opened it to see, the prince's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Before the generals under his command could show a puzzled expression, the prince had already closed the battle report and asked with half confusion and half affirmation: "Has it been decided?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After waving off the heralds, the prince general reported that after reading the military report, everyone in the tent was also surprised, and the military newspaper said that a team of wolf cavalry of about 30,000 men had been found in front of the army, and looking at the movement of this army, it seemed that they wanted to block the march of the army head-on.
"Thirty thousand people?" a general muttered to himself with some doubts, with a look of disbelief, after this period of contact, all the Terran generals had to admit a fact: the orc army in front of them was really not in line with their own race, too cunning!
Although it was because of the blind command of those hateful priests that caused casualties, it has to be said that the orcs did a good job of luring the enemy, and it was even outrageous.
From the march to the present, there have been eagle troops of the orc empire hovering in the air in the sky, but they don't dare to approach, they just fly relatively high, and they are far away from the camp, the griffin is the natural enemy of the eagle man, and with the cavalry on the back of the griffin, the lethality of the eagle man is still considerable.
However, when groups of eaglemen gathered together, the griffin cavalry had to retreat, because the flocks of eaglemen were also the natural enemies of the griffins, and there had been several brief air supremacy battles in the past few days, and both sides were damaged.
Comparatively speaking, the casualties of the Imperial Griffin troops are larger, and these nasty Eagle Man reconnaissance troops are far away from the air even if they can avoid close combat, so in the process of fighting, there are always griffins injured, and some temporarily lose their combat effectiveness, but more often even the griffins and cavalry are planted from the air together, and both die.
In terms of battlefield reconnaissance, the orc empire took the lead, so the reconnaissance of the orc army by the emperor ** team was not detailed, and the griffin riders brought by the prince this time were less than 10,000, most of which were rookies who had never been on the battlefield, which was also one of the reasons for the relatively large casualties in the air battle.
The 30,000 people in front of him seem to have made up their minds to block the imperial army head-on, but in the eyes of the human generals, this should actually be a decoy, but the time and place where this decoy appeared are a bit weird.
The generals looked at the sand table, and after comparing the map, they found that the position where the 30,000 troops are now stationed is actually very close to the forward troops, if the cavalry marches in a hurry, it will take less than two hours to arrive, and the terrain where the bait is stationed is relatively rugged but easy to understand, relatively speaking, the environmental adaptability of the wolf cavalry is indeed stronger than that of the human cavalry.
The key problem is that this place is not conducive to retreat, but it is very suitable for infantry to defend, but the other side is a wolf cavalry, and the most important thing should be the impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry must not dismount, right? If that is the case, then the commander of this army must have been caught in the head by the door before going out, and he has not yet come to his senses.
"Strengthen perimeter vigilance tonight to prevent night attacks. The griffin rose into the air and closely monitored the 30,000 troops, so the warriors did not leave their blades and armor, and after dinner, they ended all training and rested immediately. After a series of orders, all the heralds began to run, and the orders were issued, and hundreds of griffon cavalry stared at the sunset overhead, and flew in the direction of the strange orc troops.
When the hundred-man griffin cavalry approached, the eagle soldiers who had been on guard flew directly to intercept them, but the griffin cavalry intended to monitor and had no intention of fighting, and the eagle soldiers attacked, and they quickly retreated, and when the eagle troops returned, they followed closely behind, and for a time the sky heard all kinds of eagle chirping and griffin roars.
But in the end, this confrontation was the final victory of the eagleman, the eagle man and the griffin are both natural flying races, but the eagleman has no additional burden in addition to a piece of equipment, but the griffin is different, in addition to the protective equipment, it also needs to carry a fully armed human, and the physical consumption is faster than the eagle man.
Seeing the distant griffin cavalry gradually disappearing from sight, some eaglemen wanted to pursue but were stopped by the captain, griffins consume a lot of physical strength, and the same is true for eaglemen, since the other party is just here to reconnoitre, there is no need to fight now.
Back at the camp, the Captain of the Eagle Man found that there was an extra rat man in the temporary combat headquarters, which seemed to be reporting something, and after walking in, he found that this rat man was actually here to discuss cooperation.
"Lure the enemy?" After listening to the nezumi's words, the captain of the eagleman understood that this nezumi should not be in charge of the nezumi who accompanied him, and used 30,000 people to create the illusion of a defeated army, and then lured the army of the human empire to attack, and after the ambush circle, he killed as many enemies as possible.
It was a viable plan, but could the Wolf Cavalry agree to it?
"You're late, the regimental commander has already led the remaining 50,000 men to the enemy's back. After listening to the rat man's retelling, this deputy first looked at the rat man with a serious face, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, before leaving, the regiment commander has already explained, if the rear needs to be defeated like this, we will fully cooperate, I just hope that your trap can be done better, don't hurt your own people." ”
"In that case, then I'll go back and report, tomorrow may be a hard battle, please rest early, sir. After getting the adjutant's approval, the nezumi grabbed the ankle of the eagle-man who had already risen into the air and disappeared into the night.
Captain Hawkman walked up to the deputy and explained what he had just done, and then asked, "What are we going to do tomorrow?"
The deputy shook his head, showed a cruel smile and said: "Orcs, they have always been on the offensive, if they don't come tomorrow, it's not too late for us to go up and take a bite and retreat." ”
The next day, early in the morning.
The captain of the eagleman flapped his wings and landed directly at the door of the tent, after the guards opened the curtain, they rushed in directly, and as soon as they entered the tent, they were full of a figure, and after pulling the distance and coming back to their senses, the captain found that the deputy was in armor and fully armed, and it seemed that he was going out.
After calming his breath, the Captain of the Eagle Man gave an update on the situation, "Fifty miles ahead, a large number of human cavalry, numbering about 100,000, was found to be heading in this direction. ”
"100,000?" The deputy was also stunned, obviously this number exceeded his expectations, but his face quickly returned to normal, and he grabbed the shoulder of the Captain of the Eagle Man and said, "Now you go and convey the order, let the troops set off and retreat!"
The deputy seemed to see the captain's doubts, and while asking the guards to sort out the equipment, he explained: "The regiment commander said before that if there are twice as many or more guests visiting, then you should hurry home and prepare the meal, and now that the ingredients are ready, you have to go home and tell the family to cook more." ”
It took a long time for the Hawkman captain to understand what this metaphor meant, and after turning to leave the tent, the werewolf deputy muttered, "This is not an ordinary tentative attack. ”
The news soon spread to the No. 1 highland, and then to the hands of the bellows, after seeing this military report, the bellows also showed surprise, came to the sand table with a surprised face, compared the distance between the No. 1 position and the general headquarters, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, and although the generals beside him did not know the reason, they could probably guess that something big should happen, or it was going to happen.
Also with an ugly face is the wind tooth who has just woken up, but his expression is more relaxed than the bellows, rubbing some worried eyes, the wind tooth came to the sand table, his face became unprecedentedly gloomy, his eyes swam in the sand table for a while, and then he said: "Directly on the whole line, now it should be the crown prince of the Kotler Empire in command, it seems that he has established a leading position, ordinary priests do not have such great power." ”
"This is my mistake, I didn't expect the other side to have such a quick response, I don't know if the troops in front can hold on, yesterday's move to divide the troops was a mistake, if the battle fails, I am willing to accept the punishment. Bellows said reproachfully. The rest of the generals looked anxious, there were less than 200,000 troops in the camp, and if those who participated in the free battle did not last long, it would be a devastating blow to the remaining army.
Fengya looked left and right, felt the oppressive atmosphere in the tent, and suddenly laughed, shaking his head silently, this strange reaction made all the generals stunned, and they could still laugh at this time, was it because they were scared stupid?
Fengya patted the bellows on the shoulder and said: "You don't need to blame yourself too much, it's not a mistake to divide troops for free combat, the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can you predict everything, since we can't expect their reactions, then will they also not be able to anticipate our backhand?" After speaking, Fengya turned around and said with a smile on his face: "What are you panicking, you have to believe in your comrades-in-arms, all of them are already generals, why don't you have any concentration?"
Hearing Fengya's words, several generals present lowered their heads in shame, and after Fengya rolled his eyes, he sat down in his position helplessly and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, everyone has hit the door of the house, and you are not going to prepare for the battle?"
And at this time, the prince also received a battle report: the logistics line was attacked this morning, and there were heavy casualties!
