Chapter 63: Orc Military Discussion
After listening to the opinions of the two, the last orc captain Shamok said: "Humans are cowards, as long as we gather our three brigades to charge together, we will definitely be able to defeat the soldiers on Fort William." If you all listen to me, you will surely achieve a great victory. ”
"Since Shamok is so brave, let your squadron of boarmen take the lead this time."
Imsh was usually very disgusted with Shamok, thinking that the boar people were incorrigibly stupid, and when he heard Shamok's rude words, he immediately opened his mouth to squeeze the boar people.
"Take the lead, take the lead, I, Shamok, will be the first to charge."
The captain of the three orcs, Maluland, who is relatively senior, saw that Imsh was a little impulsive, and immediately knocked on the table and said: "Imsh, don't be reckless, the human trebuchet can throw a 200-pound stone projectile, such a stone projectile will be smashed down, as long as it is hit by the stone projectile, even you and I will not be able to save our lives."
Although the strength of our three brigades cannot conquer Fort William, they can divide their forces to bypass the human territory of Fort William and attack the logistics line of Fort William.
If Fort William is cut off from Fort Blackriver and loses the support of Fort Blackriver, the defenders of Fort William will inevitably panic and may reveal a flaw to us. ”
"The division of troops requires a detour of more than 100 kilometers, and the addition of more than 100 kilometers of grain routes will greatly lengthen the supply points. Have you considered this? ”
Imsh frowned and stared into Maluland's eyes with questions in his eyes.
"For you and me, it's true. But for Shamok, adding more than 100 kilometers of grain routes is nothing. His subordinates have many wild boar people, bear people. When a soldier is hungry, he can eat people to replenish. ”
"Humans are very intelligent creatures, and cannibalism is too savage. Although humans use orcs for bloodline experiments, they will not eat us, and compared to the savage and dirty boar people, humans are closer to me. ”
Seeing Imsh's look of contempt and another quarrel with Shamok, Maluland suddenly felt a little headache.
His position is the same as that of Imsh and Shamok, and with the defeat in the battle, it is difficult to mediate the contradictions between the two sides.
Imsh pointed to the map, his face full of impatience, clearly disagreeing with the strategy of dividing the troops.
"Even if it is a division of troops, what is the use of a large brigade entering the human hinterland? Easily surround the human soldiers, and then annihilate the entire army. ”
"Of course, our three brigades alone can't defeat the humans in Northern Xinjiang. We should have a long-term vision, not limited to our three brigades, and we must have an overall thinking.
The war with the Kingdom of Grant, the last war we made a breakthrough on the Western Front, this time we put the main forces in the middle.
Our three brigades were only in the vanguard, and there were three legions of soldiers nearby who were about to cross the Eagle Mountains.
When the main force of the legion fights with the human race and holds back the main human army, a large team can turn the world upside down in the human territory.
Storm human castles, seize large quantities of food, and capture human slaves. Cause panic among the human soldiers and weaken the power of the human kingdom.
Finally, we have to form a human legion, reduce the will of human resistance, and become the master of the Dawn Continent. ”
Maluland's words made Imsh very excited to hear them.
"You've convinced me, how are you going to divide the troops?"
Maluland looked at the map and said with a serious face: "Let's rest for a month, and when the battle becomes fierce and the humans have no reinforcements, the Shamok brigade will make a detour into the human territory, attack the human castle, and mobilize the enemies in Fort William."
Once Fort William sent reinforcements, its own strength was not enough. We will send a large group of soldiers to sneak up from the direction of Platos, enter the territory of Haaland, attack the villages and fortresses in the territory, capture the people of the territory of Haaland, and see if Richard will continue to divide his forces. ”
Even Fort William adjusted its strategy to the orcs and waited for the fighters, and Holm came to Fort William.
The king's envoy arrived, and Richard immediately took Holm on a tour of the counterweight trebuchet.
He also personally commanded the auxiliaries to operate the trebuchet and fired 200 pounds of stone projectiles.
The stone bullet was thrown high, flew over a distance of 300 meters, and smashed fiercely into the dirt, smashing down a deep pit.
Holm personally touched the stone projectiles, measured the pits, and was very pleased with the power of the trebuchet.
He took the drawings sent by Richard, and said with some disappointment on his face: "It's a pity that the drawings are too simple, if they are more complicated and difficult for others to copy, the family will also get a new barony."
If the Haaland family is willing to hand over ownership of the blueprint to the royal family, this blueprint will only reward you with three great achievements. ”
"Our Haaland family is a vassal of the royal family, and of course we are willing to dedicate the drawings to the royal family in exchange for war exploits."
During this time, the exploits of the fort William defense were also rewarded, and Richard commanded the defenders of Fort William and inflicted heavy losses on the orc Maruland brigade. The first battle was victorious, and a great merit was awarded.
In addition, this battle killed a large number of orc professionals, and the head reward merit added up to one big merit, four medium merit, and three small merit.
Counting the outpost battle all-annihilating orc squadron, two medium merits and two minor merits were awarded.
The Haaland family has been granted a new fief, and more than half of the merits have been accumulated.
Even if he can't inherit William's territory, he will grow up smoothly, and after another war, Richard will get a fief and become a hereditary nobleman.
With Earl Holm presiding, the speed of the distribution of battle merits was extremely fast.
In less than three days, Fort Letterte had already completed the formalities and registered the three great achievements in Richard's name.
Baron Holm returned to the capital city of Nolan without stopping, taking the heavy trebuchet drawings with him.
Although there was no fighting in the Fort William direction for the time being, the other directions were plunged into fierce fighting.
In particular, in the direction of Flame Castle, two orc legions crossed the Eagle Mountains and entered the province of Gascoigne.
The pressure on the Wild Lions increased dramatically, and they had to make strategic retrenchments, even abandoning the Platos fortress complex.
The 6th and 7th squadrons, which were helping in Fort William, suddenly became outcasts of the Lion Legion, and their communication with their superiors was completely cut off, and they could only obey Richard's orders during this time.
The central province of Geda was also in great danger, as an orc legion crossed the Eagle Mountains from the east and appeared near the Black River Fort.
The Northern Legion and the main army of the Orcs began to fight, testing the strength of the other party, and ignoring the hereditary noble territories in the north.
The main army of the Grant Kingdom, if all of them are fully formed, will have a number of 24,000 people.
However, most of the corps cannot be fully established, and the number of the three main corps in the north does not exceed 20,000.
The orc legion is much larger, the number of the main legion is often more than 30,000, and the number of professionals is also more, if it is a field battle, the main legion of the Grant Kingdom often cannot compete with the orc legion.
