Chapter 399: Under the Reward

It's actually very simple, it means guy, I'm optimistic about you, send it to death!"

But if the leader above says this, that is, you are really unpopular, and the leader is completely ready to fire you.

The officers in front of Lorraine looked at each other. In my heart, I wondered which one Lorraine was singing, and it was said that the current shape shì was very good, not good, but a great good.

If this momentum continues, within this winter, the orcs heading north will be wiped out by our army in Ney.

There's really no need to do any of this, right?

Seeing that the people below were no longer talking, Lorraine could probably guess their thoughts and patiently explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we have won two battles in a short period of time, we have eliminated more than 20,000 half-orcs.

But our shape in Nai An is still very grim.

There are also a full 100,000 orcs, invading the entire border to the north. Due to the vast and sparsely populated province of Nai An, our personnel are mainly concentrated in the big cities.

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh secretly when she said this. This is the first time since he became the leading boss of Nai An Province that he thinks his territory is too big, and it is also the first time that he thinks that there are too few younger brothers who receive wages from him. When he encountered such a large-scale invasion, he was really in a hurry and lost sight of one or the other.

He paused for a moment, then continued: "With our current military strength, we simply cannot effectively stop their attack. ”

The officers lowered their heads and thought seriously. They can also understand the difficulties of the current situation.

Don't look at Lorraine's success with them in Crony City, and they have won consecutive battles. But the price was to draw as many troops from other cities as possible, so that they had to shrink with all their might. They are all in full defense at the moment.

According to the current battle report, the orcs roughly followed the line in units of 10,000 people, separated by a distance of 100 miles, and advanced unevenly to the north.

Especially after Lorraine and the other half-orcs were defeated twice, the other parts of the half-orcs had learned shrewdly. They quickly changed their way of fighting, trying not to touch the human army fortresses and sentry posts, but to divide into groups and disperse their operations.

The orcs suddenly resorted to wolf pack tactics, much to Lorraine's headache.

Now, the orcs are constantly attacking and harassing the cities, villages and towns in Nai'an, and the west of the border is a little better.

To the east of Cronie, the orcs often attacked far away from the territory, and when the reinforcements were alerted and arrived, they did not engage the reinforcements, but divided into several parts. Relying on his big feet, he was like wearing a certain brand of sneakers, "Gray." The general rush dispersed.

The city of Crony is safer for the time being, and according to the original plan, Lorraine will use the mobile forces of the three legions to support those places in emergency.

It can be expected that in the absence of a sufficient number of reinforcements. Go guard the entire defense line in the case. In the next month or two, there will be a kind of melee in the southern region.

It can even be said that it shoulders the responsibility of defending the land. The Governor of Lorraine, who has no room for failure in any city, will be plunged into a sea of people's war, and will be passively dragged by the orcs

It's like rice in Afghanistan, it has a strong army, but it is dragged and beaten like a dead dog, the fat is dragged thin, the thin is dragged down, and then eaten bite by bite.

This made Lorraine, who has always only liked to bully others, very angry.

You must know that Lord Luo has been in his previous life, and that family is "even if you don't pick up things in the aisle, even if you lose them, if you don't take advantage of them, you will suffer a loss." Naturally, his old man couldn't swallow this breath.

At this time, Lord Lorraine couldn't care about it a lot. When he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he was also ruthless

"That's the task," Lorraine paused, glancing around the room. Shi said in shock: "Go deep into the grassland." Sweep through the orc horde. There was silence in the conference room, and the officers were stunned for a moment. Then you look at me, I look at yours. Thinking about the task that Lorraine said.

Lorraine looked at the officers in front of him, all of them frowning, and said in a deep voice: "This is a very dangerous mission, but it is also a very honorable mission.

Therefore I am not willing to assign any of you any of you, whether you want it or not, and to order you to go alone into the enemy's place.

I need to volunteer

The troops going deep into the steppe will have no supplies and no reinforcements, and the commander's own decision will be made by the commander himself, and the required qiē materials will also be carried out by the commander on the spot.

The task of this unit is simple, it is to sweep away the tribe of orcs, and I don't need to conquer the city. I don't need to capture these things, I just dig out their nests, hurt the orcs, and beat them so hard that they don't dare not go back to the rescue. ”

Listening to Lorraine's words, the officers all thought carefully.

can lead the team deep into the two-thousand-mile prairie, and come out alive in leading the team, alone for thousands of miles, and a hundred battles in the sand!

This can be said to be the ultimate dream of every hot-blooded officer.

As long as it can be done, it is just a sonic boom empire, and it can even be said to be eternal

However, for the vast majority of people, this kind of legendary thing is just a matter of thinking about it. Don't take it seriously, you really think you're three-headed and six-armed. Hacked to the strong?

Not being familiar with the terrain, not knowing the strength of the enemy, no logistical supplies, no reinforcements, this is equivalent to running in a dark room full of deadly traps, and it is a miracle to not die.

There are three million orcs on the prairie, and they can be trampled to death with just their feet.

The answer is very simple, that is, because few people can do it, and they know that there is a good evidence of wars in China for thousands of years, and the Central Plains civilization has been fighting for more than 2,000 years......

The most famous one of them is called Huo Quzhi, and the other is called Li Jing, do you know what these two characters are?

Of course, Huo was a little sad, the medical technology in his time was too backward.

At the same time as Huo, there was also an uncle-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, named Li Guangli. At that time, he took 100,000 people into the grassland, but he didn't come back.

After that, there were also tens of thousands of younger brothers, and after entering, they were given food, and the whole army was wiped out, and there were several.

The saddest thing is the Ming Dynasty, although there has been an experience of fighting in the past, but even the leading boss has had the experience of being caught.

Lorraine had already thought of the reaction of his officers. Therefore, Shang was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "I need two squadron leaders and one group leader."

Moreover, all the soldiers who did not want to go. It is also possible to stay and be replaced by soldiers who have volunteered for this task.

I will also match the troops of this operation with two hundred orc soldiers of the Abendan tribe, which means that the strength of this operation is only 800. The orcs of the Abendan tribe are the Ground Serpents. They are familiar with the topography of most of the grasslands, as well as the environment and weather of the grasslands, and they are a powerful support factor for this operation.

In addition, this unit will bring more horses to ensure mobility on the grassland, and it will be able to run if it can't fight.

Finally, I will give a reward to all the soldiers who participated in the operation, each soldier will be given 500 acres of land before he goes out, and the officers will be given one year. ”

It's like a spoonful of cold water poured into a hot pan of oil.

There was a "coax", and the conference room suddenly became chaotic, and the officers lowered their heads and began to discuss. Quite a few of them had red eyes.

Because the reward given by Lorraine is too rich.

The officers have a thousand acres of land, even for the officers from these main families, it is a wealth of the boss, and with a thousand acres of land, he has suddenly entered the level of wealth

And 500 acres of land seems to be less than half. But for soldiers from civilian or tenant farming families, it has a fatal attraction.

Even if they are self-cultivated farmers with a surplus of money, their families only have a few dozen acres of land, and if they can get these 500 acres of land, they will suddenly get rid of the identity of commoners, and they can become landlords, and they will make great strides and move forward heroically on the road of feudalism and happiness.

You don't have to worry about eating and drinking all your life, and you don't have to work hard facing the loess with your back to the sky, even if you will gamble your life, those soldiers will still participate enthusiastically.

Lorraine wasn't worried at all that she couldn't find six hundred soldiers to do her job.

At the beginning, when Lorraine picked people from the orcs, those ruffians broke their heads, and they were entertained and gifted, and they were the third aunt and seventh uncle. It's for this fateful name

Therefore, Lorraine didn't care about their movements. Give them plenty of time to think for themselves.

After all, the danger of this task was too high, and he could not, and was not willing to act with a cold order.

"I'll go. A young man spoke aloud and pushed away his chair and stood up.

Lorraine looked at him and nodded solemnly.

As Lorraine expected, it was indeed the people of the Neyan Legion who came out first, and only they hated the half-orcs the deepest, and in order to stab the half-orcs, they must not be afraid of death.

After all, the Seventh and Tenth Legions of the East are guest troops, although they are under the jurisdiction of Lorraine, but their foundation is not in Naian, it can be expected that their enthusiasm is not great, Lorraine has offered a high reward, if these two legions are not afraid of death, Lorraine is of course welcome.

Lorraine was also very familiar with that young man.

Captain Vokar, the captain of the cavalry brigade of the Naian Legion, came from a military family, and his family was an officer of the Naian Legion.

At the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, Vokal was already a captain officer, and he had a bright future. He has been fighting against orcs for many years, and his experience is absolutely abundant.

Seeing that he stood up first, Lorraine nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, good Vokar, I didn't disgrace our Naians." Well done, I'll get you a legion when I get back

Vokal puffed up his chest and shouted, "Yes, sir." ”

Then he scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "My lord, I don't want to be so good. I also have a brother who died in battle, and I am not afraid that no one will provide for my parents.

It's just that I think that the orcs always come to fight us before, and I've been angry with them for ten years, this time we can finally fight the orcs once, of course I can't miss it, this time I'm going to go to the grassland to vent my anger. ”

Lorraine slapped the table and exclaimed, "Okay, that's the way it is, why do only half-orcs come to beat us every year, and I have to endure it like a daughter-in-law?"

Say that the grassland is difficult to survive, I still don't believe in this evil, this time you go, turn the grassland upside down, let those lowly orcs know that if you really get ruthless, play hooligans. They didn't even deserve to lift our shoes. ”

"Yes, sir, don't worry. How the orcs used to bully us Naians. And I multiplied it tenfold, and gave it all back to him. Vokar said with a cold glow in his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Lorraine nodded, and said secretly in his heart: What I want is this ruthlessness.

Then an officer stood up and said cautiously, "Well, my lord, may I ask a question first?"

Lorraine saw that he was actually the squadron leader of the 10th Army of the East, and he was in his thirties, probably which kind of person he belonged to, and immediately said: "Just ask, say it." ”

The 10th Army of the East... Gritted their teeth. "Your Excellency the Governor, the reward you gave is that the ten mortal trades are limited to Nai An Province." ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. It seems that the officers of the Eastern Legion are not unmoved, but they are worried that the reward will not be implemented, and when they return to the Eastern provinces, a large piece of land hundreds of miles away will not be taken care of at all, just like nothing.

Lorraine thought about it for a while, and then let it go. He said in a deep voice: "With my relationship with your eldest sister, in the Eastern Provinces, I still speak, where is the land you are willing to reward." I'll get you a piece out of that place. But if you want Ruman, you're going to do it. Then I'm really out of options. ”

The officers below laughed.

The officer of the 10th Army of the East, who stood up, said loudly: "Okay, I'll go." Captain of the first team of the 2nd Brigade of the 10th Army of the East, Rabinus. ”

"Very good," Lorraine nodded, "I assure you as a governor that you will see your reward before you go." ”

Rabinus exclaimed, "Sir Xie." But I'm sorry to excuse you, please ask the eldest sister to give my son directly. ”

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this guy to look good-looking, but he was also ruthless, and he was already holding on to death.

Don't look at this as just a sentence, it is equivalent to the famous sentence "behind Moscow's Red Square" has a very high impact on the morale of the officers and soldiers on the expedition.

Knowing that it is a dead end, he still dares to voluntarily go inside, this kind of person is the most terrifying, just like the tiger that goes out, he can bite people to death.

At this time, another officer stood up and said, "My lord, I will go too." You've got it. Our Eastern Seventh Army is no longer out. Isn't it like we're soft. The 1st Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 7th Army of the East, Squadron Leader Oflanor. ”

Lorraine looked at the three young officers who stood up and said, "Very good, you are the pride of our Ruman Empire. At the end of the meeting, you come with me. ”

Then, in the afternoon of the same day, an order circulated throughout the barracks of Crony: "Call for volunteers to go to the steppe, the action is very dangerous, not only children, not brothers in the army, all soldiers who volunteer to go will be rewarded with five hundred acres of land before they go out." ”

The whole city of Cronie was boiling. Whether it is the soldiers or the civilians in the city, they are talking about this matter, and everyone is enthusiastic about the reward of 500 acres of land, which is directly getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

But from the bland sentence "Don't have an only child, don't want those whose brothers are in the army" can see the danger of this mission.

Under the heavy reward, not to mention the brave man, even the brave woman also has.

Not long after the order was given, soldiers went to the officers in droves to sign up.

The quota of 600 was quickly filled, and by the evening, 2,000 people had signed up to go on the expedition.

Lorraine made a special selection for this purpose the next day, and after a competition of endurance, archery, and horsemanship, 600 people were finally left

The two hundred and a half orcs, who had already been prepared and were waiting for the expedition, joined together with these two squadrons, reorganized, and began to receive basic training and equipment.

Lorraine looked at the young officer in front of him. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then said, "Tikar, you are the best son of mine, but this is a difficult task and a lonely journey

He paused, then changed his tone and said, "With the brethren, you must add more."

Heart.

If you can, you can fight, and if you can't, you will set fire to them. Don't go toe-to-toe with them. The main thing is to bring the brethren back alive. ”

The officer put his feet together, "Smack." He saluted, and then said, "Don't worry, my lord." As you commanded, each of the brethren, in addition to his own equipment, was equipped with three fast horses and two hundred sharp arrows. There is still enough food and grass. Even if there is no supply, it can casually support ten days and half a month. ”

He glanced back at the group of elite knights who were also selected from a hundred miles behind him, and then said proudly: "I don't believe that on that grassland, there is anyone who can block our iron."

"That's good. I won't say more. Lorraine said and nodded, then looked up. I looked at the sky.

The sun had just risen, and there was a faint layer of mist on the horizon in the distance, but the sky was cloudless, and it was a perfect weather in early winter.

Lorraine took a step back, then gave a military salute and said, "I'm here to hear the news of your victory." ”

All the cavalry immediately raised their hands in salute and replied abruptly: "I will not live up to the trust of my lord!"

With that, everyone turned around, jumped on their horses, and then galloped past Lorraine under the orders of the officers.

Although they were not many in number, they brought two thousand five hundred horses.

For a time, the iron hooves roared like thunder. Straight into the sky.

Above their heads, several magicians flew through the air.

Armed to the teeth, the team formed a long line and galloped towards the south. After a few moments, it disappeared below the horizon. Only the dust raised by the war horse remained, still floating high in the air for a long time.

Lorraine stood in place and watched for a while, seeing the doubts on General Larry's face next to him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said secretly: Although this general is also a veteran of the battlefield, but because of this, his brain has always been too old-fashioned and rigid.

He smiled, and then said, "Your Excellency General, if you have anything to say, just ask." ", the heart is fierce,
