Chapter 118: Adaptation
"A man of iron and blood, a group of fierce beasts and a group of raiders, a hero of iron will, loyal to the border to protect the homeland. The sound of killing shocks the hearts of the enemies, and the reputation of a hundred battles and victories is spread. Attack must be conquered, defend must be strong, step on the enemy's bones and sing triumph!" - excerpt from "Raiding Group Chronicles"
Everyone in the raiding regiment believes that Commander Cao has always been the perfect embodiment of the spirit of doing what he says, and it is this spirit that has created the greatness of the raiding regiment, he is never discouraged, he is persistent in pursuing, and he doesn't even know how to write about giving up. At the next moment when the decision was made, Regiment Leader Cao was already actively planning how to destroy this special force of the Rex Empire.
In the early stage, it can be said that the initial stage of each side collecting the opponent's situation is the first stage. Compared with Brown, who was confused and couldn't figure out the situation, Captain Cao was much more successful. Until now, Brown still didn't know how many people were in the raiding group wandering around, and he didn't know anything about the composition of the troops, because the raiding group had always been too clean, and there was not much information left for Brown's reference, and even the local natives could provide him with limited information. For this reason, Brown no longer knows how many times he has been angry, and now the only reliable intelligence channel he can rely on is estimates!
Commander Cao knew a lot of details about the special force of the Rex Empire, including the general composition of the troops, including the mobility of the other party, and almost all knew it in his heart. In secret, Head Cao has already made a lot of arrangements.
In the days that followed, Commander Cao could be said to have whetted General Brown's appetite. The enthusiastic Commander Cao broke up the team of the raiding regiment into a small detachment of five hundred people, and used the super mobility of the raiding regiment soldiers to sing a haunting drama around the surroundings, harassing the east and the west, making Brown anxious.
Because of his lack of knowledge of the Raiders, Brown now desperately needs to know what his opponent really is. Therefore, as soon as he received information related to the raiding group, Brown would immediately make targeted deployments. Trying to hunt down this small force on the same level as the Bugs. As you can imagine, this is a deliberate and unintentional situation, and Brown is completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of harassment by the raiding group. Each of the five detachments of the raiding regiment had a person in charge of the whole situation, and the task given to them by Commander Cao was only harassment, not any substantive contact.
Everyone in the raiding group knew this kind of task all too well, and it was as easy to carry out as if it were commonplace. They don't even need to breathe with each other, they will come out when they are in a good mood, and then after the other party reacts, they will go straight away, find a place to have a barbecue and drink or something.
And Brown didn't dare to take it lightly. Brown was able to graduate from Pendleton Military Academy with the first grade, not only because of his family's deep financial resources and connections, but also because he still has a bit of brains. Brown's previous remarks were entirely to provoke the raiding group, and it was best to let them show off the wagons and horses, and Brown was confident that he would be able to complete the battle with superior forces.
Brown knew very well that the raiding group was not so easy to clean up, and if they really didn't have the slightest ability, then there wouldn't be so many people who suffered from them before, and they haven't found their way back to the field. Strategically despise the enemy and tactically value the enemy. Brown initially maintained the same set of knowledge he had learned from the academy and the raiders.
Soon, though, Brown felt like he couldn't hold on. Every time he receives news, it has to be transmitted to his ears layer by layer, and then he makes targeted arrangements. This efficiency is simply frighteningly low. Because every time the people of the Rex Empire arrived at the scene, the daylily was already cold. The raiding group did not receive the slightest influence at all, and even after they were divided into small units, their actions to carry out the slave hunting group did not slow down. It's faster than before.
Brown can't remember how many times he's led his team to the scene, all of which were human slave catchers being killed by raiders, and then posing for bloody images in various mocking shapes. Among them. There are also many slave hunting groups that Brown knows, or belong to the Brown family, Brown's goal of provoking Captain Cao has not been achieved, but he has been made frizzy by Captain Cao, and he is full of anger every day. Even in his dreams, Brown wanted to fight the raiders to the death.
After a few days of exploring the situation, Brown finally figured out that the size of the raiding group was five or six hundred people at best, and it was all scattered around in small units. What does this mean? This shows that the raiding group is afraid of the elite soldiers of the Rex Empire and does not dare to make direct contact with them, so they are engaged in this kind of suspicious strategy. The more Brown thought about it, the more it made sense, no matter how notorious the raiders were, they had never fought against a regular army that really stood on the table before, and most of them were unorganized and undisciplined mercenary groups, or some family private armies. With some intrigue and intrigues, it's easy to trick your opponent into getting past and then finding an opportunity to win with one blow. Now when their opponent is replaced by Brown and the elite soldiers of the Ten Thousand Rex Empire under his command, the raiding group does not dare to blatantly mess around, on the surface, it seems that there are frequent actions, but they are all inconsequential small actions, there is no substantive big thing at all, and they are avoiding Brown's edge everywhere.
This situation makes Brown feel comfortable, but also full of unhappiness and a certain sense of crisis. Comfortably, through the performance of the raiders, Brown can determine that the opponent is afraid of him, and the act of hiding his head and tail is not at the level of war at all, at most he is more cunning than the average native bandit, and it is not tricky. This also shows that under the balance of forces between the two sides, Brown has an absolute advantage, which puts a lot of pressure on the raiders.
Brown was unhappy that he seemed to be able to see the gorgeous scenery under the skirt of the goddess of victory, but he couldn't reach for it. Not to mention anything else, these small forces of the raiding group are really fucking annoying! Even if they are all Bimon orcs, in terms of their behavior, they don't have the straightforward and reckless genes of orcs at all. Brown has also learned a lot of history, and it can be said that the reason why humans were able to defeat the orcs, the overlord of the continent, was that the simple mind and rough character of the main war orcs accounted for a large part of the reason. Until now, this aspect is still the shortcoming of most orcs.
After actually experiencing it, Brown realized that everything really has to be combined with practice to make a conclusion. Looking at the terrifying figures of the soldiers of the raiding regiment, you know that these guys must be the real Beamon main battle race. But there is absolutely no trace of orc character in them, these guys are insidious, mean, cunning and even lewd! If Brown told the others about the actual situation during this time, Brown felt that no one would believe it.
Brown's sense of crisis. It is due to the fact that he now has no strategy to deal with the harassment tactics of small groups such as raiding regiments. At the very least, Brown took 10,000 Rex elite soldiers, a full 10,000 people! These 10,000 people were a headache for Brown, both logistically and otherwise. Even one more day of delay would be more trouble for Brown. On the surface, these natives did seem to have reached some cooperation with them, and did not interfere much with their actions, but the natives were all watching Brown with great power.
Brown is now being played around by the raiders, and they are also watching it, and they have even been sneered at by them more than once. These natives seem to be simple-minded. In fact, this is not the case, and it is also a set of losses for people, which makes Brown feel angry and bloody many times.
The relationship between the two partners is quite delicate, and if Brown does not make some substantial progress, their trust in each other will become less and less, and the natives will inevitably become impatient. It's been a long time, and Brown is a big problem just dealing with logistics. The Exiled Realm is not as rich as the human world, and the most basic food and grass problems are very serious. It's 10,000 mouths to eat every day, if Brown can't solve it. None of the internal problems can be solved well, let alone other aspects. Not only is food in exile expensive, but the vast majority of natives are not willing to sell food at all.
These natives still have a hand in the Rex Empire, after Brown enters the Realm of Exile. They have returned to their usual state, cutting off the passage between the Exiled Realm and the human world. In other words, they have blocked the snowy mountains of Michael Jordan again, and Brown even wants to ask for logistical support. The troops will not be able to get by.
Now watching the food and grass dwindle day by day, Brown's heart is about to break. If this inaction continues for a few more days, the morale of the army will be immediately chaotic. At that time, those bastard natives didn't know how to laugh at him. As for the grand dream of opening the door to the Realm of Exile, there is no need to think about it.
"The hillbillies of this raiding group follow their leader like a lonely ghost with the dead. There's nothing to worry about, this kind of villain with his head and tail is about to be crushed under the iron hooves of my Big Rex Empire!" In order to ease the conflict with the local natives, Brown held a pledge meeting, and at the meeting, he threw promises loudly. After all, he is now stationed on the indigenous lands here, and it is impossible not to give them face.
And these natives are all uncles that Brown can't mess with, all of them have a stinky and hard temper, and they put on a dead face if they can't talk about a word, and everyone else will come to the group immediately. They are still wary of Brown when they are dealing with them, and if Brown does not perform well, it is entirely possible that they will unite to destroy this task force!
"In that case, shouldn't General Brown have come up with some dry goods to prove the ruins he said earlier?" As soon as Brown's words fell, a troll leader next to him, who looked obscene, answered in a strange way.
"Yes, we have high expectations of you, General Brown. But you've been here for almost half a month, and it seems to us that you're doing nothing at all! Even like a stake, the pestle is being teased by those bastards here. Tell me how many of them you've killed now?" the other orc leader was similarly sharp-tongued, and his words nearly choked Brown to death.
Brown is indeed like a talking cannon on paper now, and he has no dry goods at all, not even the physical appearance of the raiders. This gang of indigenous leaders grabbed all the white, which directly made Brown's team a little dissatisfied, and these days being harassed by the raiding group, Brown can clearly feel that the morale of the team has been greatly affected. The non-cooperation and cynicism of these natives have also caused the displeasure of the proud Rex Imperial warriors, and Brown is a real dilemma caught in the middle, and once there is friction, then Brown will mess up this big thing!
So, Brown swallowed himself and said with a smile: "Those hillbillies are quite self-aware. The reason why they have not been destroyed until now is simply because they know their own situation very well and have a clear understanding of their own position. This problem, after my testing and observation in the past few days, has already had a strategy to deal with it, they can't jump for a few days, I can say that within five days, these hillbillies will have to pay a heavy price!"
But it is clear that these indigenous leaders are not so easy to fool, and they are also aware of the problems that Brown said. It's so easy to say anything, but it's not so easy to do it. When the raiding group faced them, they also did not make direct contact, in order to force the raiding group to fight each other, these natives also tried their best, but the raiding group just didn't eat them, and they were still beaten enough every time. Brown's current situation is very much like that of them at the beginning, and in four words, they are helpless.
"I've figured out that they're going to do the harassment tactics in pieces. They can do this, so why can't we do this? There is no need to limit our thinking to a fixed routine, the art of war, the emphasis is on improvisation, and the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis...... "Brown slapped his chest loudly, this Pendleton top student really wants to talk on paper, and his eloquence is not questioned, one after another.
Immediately afterwards, under the persecution of these indigenous leaders, Brown also made a definite plan: "The strong army of our Rex Empire has an absolute numerical advantage in the face of this annoying small army. They divide their troops, and we can also divide them, and we also have an absolute advantage. In the next phase, I'm going to show these hillbillies what a real small force fight is!"
