April 1, 833 in the Julian calendar.

The year is in the north. Dog day rushing to the dragon.

Ox Taurus is fierce, Liuyao: God is destroyed.

Appropriate: management, trading, seeking officials, recruiting livestock, and breaking ground.

Don't: climbing, sailing, making a bed, entering the house, gambling.

When a ray of sunshine has just appeared in the eastern sky, there is already a commotion on the shore of Star Lake.

Both the Terran battalion and the orcs have all taken action.

The shouts of the people, the neighing of the horses, the clashing of weapons...... All sorts of voices rang out.

Pale white smoke rises in the breeze and reaches into the sky.

As the sun gradually rose, the unique loud brass trumpet of the Emperor ** Regiment and the long and dull horn of the half-orc tribe sounded like a race.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the warriors of the empire and the orcs all threw down their dishes and moved quickly.

In the emperor's ** camp, those soldiers rushed into their camp tents, and with the help of their comrades, they put on their armor, tied their swords, and brought shields, and then hugged each other again. Finally, I would like to exchange with my friends the letter I just wrote last night.

They all had made an agreement: if they were unfortunately killed in battle, then the other party would hand over the letters to their relatives.

Followed by. As the orders were issued in an orderly manner, the officers at all levels all took action.

They walked up and down the camp, shouting and shouting, brandishing their whips and kicking the soldiers in the ass with their riding boots. Drove them all together.

The squadron converges into a squadron......

The squadrons converged into a brigade......

The brigade will gather again into a legion!

In the end, under the leadership of the fluttering emperor ** flag, they puffed up their chests and shouted loud slogans. Carrying his own weapons and lining up in a neat line, he strode out of the camp gate without hesitation and drove onto the battlefield.

And in the large camp of the orcs, there are countless people who do the same thing.

The only difference is that their loved ones are around.

The mothers wept in low voices, telling their sons.

With tears in their eyes, the wives bid farewell to their husbands.

And those young children don't know that today's farewell, they may never see their father and brother again.

When they saw such a big scene, they were just curious and excited, and happily played and frolicked in the crowd, getting in and out.

As the sun rose higher and higher, all sounds disappeared in that instant, and the earth suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Even the birds felt that the tension and oppression that before the big war, the dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and the mountains and rains were about to rush, all disappeared.

The sky was clear, and there was not a single cloud in the clear sky.

Only the wind was blowing slightly. Exceptionally warm and cozy.

But this day.

The moment the sun rises, it's already predestined.

This day must be a day of bloody killings.

When the sun goes down, there must be corpses all over the field and rivers of blood!

Countless Grim Reapers, like vultures, have hovered over this grassland.

Like housewives who have encountered a department store jumping off a building and selling a big price, they call friends, line up, form groups, and happily watch the war below.

When the war is over, they will inevitably return with a large bag in tow.

The only difference is that they take away the souls of the people!

At this time, the Terrans and the Orcs had already set up a position on this prairie, facing each other several miles apart. It was like two generations of enemies meeting each other, staring at blood-red eyes and shining swords.

They have all sworn that no matter what the price is, they will definitely let each other's blood drain!

At this time, the two sides had already lined up in their own formations in accordance with the arrangements of their respective commanders and the prior plan.

Both sides attached great importance to this battle.

On the imperial side. Almost all the troops that can be mobilized have already been mobilized here.

This battle, if it is won, naturally it is needless to say.

If this battle is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's not just the land that has been acquired in the early stage that will be lost again. Orcs will once again be a big problem for Neyan.

Moreover, the loss of some elite troops on the imperial side will inevitably be a major loss of vitality.

At least in the past ten years, the empire no longer has the strength to attack outward, so it can only shrink on all fronts and take a defensive position.

With this happening, the empire is no longer the number one military power on the continent.

This is a fatal blow to the imperial people who have become accustomed to playing hooligans everywhere, grabbing money, things and women.

With the arrogance of the Imperials, they would rather die in battle, but they would never accept this result.

As for the orcs, the big guys were educated by Vichin and Torek, and they all understood it as if they had been enlightened.

In this battle, whether or not the orc race has reached a life-and-death stake, at the very least, their own fate is definitely at a life-and-death juncture.

Just like before the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su, the military advisor of Eastern Wu, went to persuade his own sons and grandsons, those ordinary people can surrender, and the generals under them can surrender, but they must not surrender.

Because the common people are living an extremely difficult life anyway, even if they surrender, it is nothing more than a change of boss, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad.

The generals were well paid, though. But for those of them who are middle managers, surrendering is equivalent to just jumping into a groove.

With their martial arts skills, they can still eat together. It's just a change of boss and a part-time job.

But if these are the big guys. But it is absolutely impossible to surrender.

If they surrendered, Lorraine, in order to calm the situation and people's hearts, would inevitably slaughter them all mercilessly, like a mad dog with rabies, in order to get rid of the trouble.

These bigwigs all know that their life and death are in a war, and they are all using their strength to eat milk at the moment. Pull all the guys in his tribe who can handle firewood sticks. In order to fight to the death with the Imperial army led by Lorraine!

After a brief one, they realized that their strength was actually quite strong. Calculated to be nearly 500,000 troops.

Of course, because the orcs have always been happy and like to brag about their personalities. With a wave of their hands, Vichin and Torek multiplied the number by three, and then made a turn, declaring that their forces were 1.6 million men.

But then, when the patriarchs communicated it downward, the number became two million.

In the end, after the conveyance is carried on. Every orc warrior knows that he has five million elite warriors on his side.

But that's not surprising. Strategically speaking, these half-orcs live in the grass, which originally belonged to the way of playing the field barracks.

And they're all soldiers.

From childhood, everyone has been holding a bow and a sword. Above the steppe. Desperately fighting and fighting for survival.

At this time of life and death, they also burst out of all their potential. Seriously burst into the army, from the age of fifteen to sixty-five years old, as long as it is a leader to pull into the ranks.

And what's even more despicable is that they're the guys who play the extreme thug stream.

Due to the harsh environment on the grassland, it is not easy to survive.

In order to be able to do the best possible, the army was violently dispatched. They simply have no regard for the lives of the soldiers, and they don't climb the slightest bit of the tech tree.

They're never willing to spend a penny on upgrades. Attack, defense, and degree have not been added at all.

In this situation, the soldiers' armament was extremely primitive and rudimentary.

Many of the soldiers went into battle with sticks and animal skins.

But it is undeniable that they are capable of being a violent soldier. It is also the extreme. This...... It's almost like opening five field barracks at the same time.

Of course, the soldiers who came out were black.

What's more, they also have a logistical advantage in fighting from the soil.

Compared with the Imperial ** Regiment, which needs a huge logistical supply as a support, every soldier they produce is cheaper than the Imperial soldiers in terms of material consumption.

In this way, they are like cheat codes, with all the golden fingers open, and all the troops are exploded in an instant.

When the half-orcs set up the battle array, looking at the dense, boundless like layers of dark clouds, and the human heads that could not be seen at a glance, everyone was surprised to see that they could pull out so many brothers!

They couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

At the same time, everyone's confidence has also been greatly increased.

When they looked at the Emperor ** group, they were not as bold as before. There are so many of us, even if ten people fight one, we can defeat them all!

The warriors among them also swept away their previous frustration, and all of them were full of energy and became extremely heroic.

These ruffians put off their shirts, showed their strong muscles, walked around proudly in front of the formation, shaking the long hair on their bodies, and roared loudly in the direction of the emperor's ** regiment. In order to show his bravery and good fighting.

Even though they were several miles away, even if there were great magicians in the Emperor's ** group, it was impossible to use their own magic to kill them at this distance. But their actions still attracted the applause of the fools behind them.

In this way, they are even more incomprehensible.

On the other hand, the emperor's ** group is here.

Lord Lorraine had a total army of 250,000 troops, nearly 300,000.

A large part of them, more than 100,000 people, are all strong people. They belong to the logistics department and do not fight.

Although when the battle is fierce, it can also be pulled out as cannon fodder. But they are not strong in attack, their morale is not high, and they are extremely prone to collapse.

In the words of Lord Lorraine, if they were to be allowed to fight, it would be better to drive a herd of pigs up. At the very least, bomb more than 100,000 pigs up and let the enemy catch them. It's going to take many days.

In addition, the legions from the provinces of the empire are all second-line troops.

Although they have been trained and their morale is not weak, they have not gone through many battle formations after all.

Lorraine has not let them fight and accumulate experience along the way, but there are too many legions, and there are too few enemies on the prairie.

As soon as those damn orcs saw the battle flags on this side, they didn't wait for Lorraine to send troops over. They were already running away like frightened rabbits.

It's just that sometimes, there is no time to escape.

Everyone coaxed up, and before they could open the formation, the orcs on the opposite side were already raising their hands and surrendering with white flags raised.

Therefore, on this road, there are not many people who have actually passed through the battle formation.

You know, this soldier who has seen blood passing through the battle array is a real soldier, otherwise, it is just a bunch of dogs who can only whine and bark, and they are simply unusable.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the logistics and transportation lines were not cut off by the enemy's guerrillas, Lorraine also set up a large number of military stations along the way.

The establishment of these military stations and military villages will be very beneficial for future development. Hardly any changes are needed, as long as the flag is changed, it can become a town residence for the residents, but at this time, it is a big burden.

Because, these military stations and military villages are all garrisoned by soldiers.

This alone will remove nearly 50,000 fighters.

Fortunately, after this period of integrated marching training, Lorraine has also selected a lot of talents in the army.

kicked out all those guys who were honest, who didn't dare to fight hard with people with knives, and who were not strong enough in their psychological qualities, and let them squat in this military station and garrison them. It's a promising job.

But in this way, Lorraine only had 100,000 troops left.

With 100,000 troops, fight against 500,000 orcs...... Uh, five million people. It's like using a dagger to provoke a bloodshot bull in the eye.

And at the same time, despite the lack of troops, he must also achieve a heavy and difficult strategic goal.

In other words, in order to ensure that there is enough labor for him to work in the future, he must use force to intimidate the orcs as much as possible. Give them a bloody lesson in the cold.

This may sound like a contradiction. The bloody lesson is that it is necessary to kill and wound the enemy's living forces in large numbers. And all of them are adult laborers, which are extremely precious.

But in practice, they are mutually reinforcing.

Lorraine must fight this time.

He must use the hammer in his hand to knock down fiercely, completely break the backbone of those half-orcs, and let those half-orcs on the opposite side know the strength of the emperor's ** group, and from then on, he can only bow down and obey the orders of the empire.

At least for a hundred years, at the mention of their own name, they will tremble and dare not rebel in the slightest.

Otherwise, they will do the opposite today, and tomorrow they will mess up. This becomes a Balkan powder keg. The southern side of the fart is wide open. Also make a fart of money.

Therefore, in order to achieve this purpose. Lord Luo was also open at this time, and put on a formation that made everyone feel strange.

On the front of the Orc Legion, he only mobilized his two personal guard legions, and the elite legions of the four Eastern provinces.

The other two are in reserve, at the rear of the formation, maneuvering and ready to go into battle at any time.

The Legion of the Guards is made up of the Royal Praetorian Guard. The legions of the Eastern Province were all the elite troops of the Grand Duke Julius on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, and the soldiers had all passed the test of war.

These lads are loyal and determined. It is far from being comparable to those second-rate troops transferred from other provinces.

Those gang of puppies will bully the common people, suppress the riot, and really want to fight a regular battle, which is far from qualified. If you don't pee your pants in fear, you can already be considered bold.

And one by one, they steal chickens and dogs, drink and fight, don't make big mistakes, and keep making mistakes. Lord Luo has come all the way to avoid headaches for these dogs.

Let's take it lightly, don't solve the problem. After educating here, they will turn back there, and they will commit it again.

Let's hit hard, after all, they are a guest army, and they are here to cheer themselves up. Once they were harshly investigated, they were cold-hearted. In the future, when you start working, you will definitely be lazy and will not be able to work hard.

It wasn't until later that Lord Luo remembered what General Patton, the first general of the United States, did before he landed in Normandy. The unprecedented banner of 'fine' was sacrificed, shaking the ancient and modern.

As long as it violates military discipline, if you don't say a word at the moment, you will be fined directly.

What is more, the Lord of Lorraine did not punish them with their salaries, but with the future salaries and advances of their governors and generals.

In this way, there is no such thing as 'someone refuses to pay the money, and it is difficult to enforce the fine' and so on.

If anyone did something wrong, Lord Lorraine was not angry, but only put a mark on his own account book, and then said to the general of their legion, "You have lost another hundred acres of land today."

That's a hard way to get money out of your pocket!

And it's a hundred acres of land at a time. That's a lot of money!

As Barton once said: As long as money is involved, everyone's brain will be better.

These generals were originally second-class troops, and their salaries and bonuses were not high, and their incomes could not go up. It's easy to grab an opportunity to grab a little money. This time a hundred acres were deducted.

Who can bear this?

The generals were angry and blue-eyed, and then they screamed and killed, tied up the ruffian, hung him on the pillar, and whipped him with his own whip.

After this series of rectification work, this made them more honest.

But no matter what, when they fought with drinking glasses and corrupted military discipline, they had already left a bad impression on Lord Luo.

Lorraine really doesn't have a bottom in his heart about the combat effectiveness of these guys. It's just that all of them are listed as auxiliary forces. When you can, you don't use it. lest these puppies poke out any more leaks for themselves.

This time, at the same time as the formation was laid out, Lorraine gave an order, and the legions from other provinces all pulled out of the camp and dispersed, until they reached the periphery of the battlefield, and then they stopped again.

From a distance, they formed a semicircle, forming an encirclement of the entire battlefield from afar. Although there are many gaps in between, I believe that no one would be so brainless as to pass through the gap between any of their two legions.

Seeing this strange formation laid by Lorraine, Vichin and Torek looked at it for a long time, but they were extremely puzzled, what is Lorraine doing? I want to use eight legions of 10,000 people to fight against my 500,000 ...... Uh, five million coalition troops?

He...... Is he crazy?

At the same time, under the banner of the Chinese army in Lorraine, there was also a person who whispered to him: "Are you crazy? Use only 40,000 men to face 500,000 orcs head-on." Is your brain getting water?"

Lorraine smiled, before she could speak.

Leo next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Lorina, you can rest assured." When did my boss do something that didn't have a score? He is the Empire's 'Flying Eagle God of War'. One person can top five legions. ”

Lorena paused for a moment, then said, "But...... Why did you transfer all those legions away?"

Leo raised his hand and said, "You went back yesterday to recover your magic powers, and you didn't attend the military meeting." Didn't you see that they were all on the outskirts of the battlefield? They were trying to prevent the orcs from escaping after the defeat. ”

"Escape...... Why?"

Leo was clearly glad to be a teacher again.

He blinked his big black and white eyes, wanting to pretend to be sophisticated, but at this time, he was so excited that he even had to his tail, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He forced his fist to his mouth, coughed softly, and said, "Of course." We've finally seized the opportunity for all the orcs to get together, and of course we're going to wipe them all out.

If this battle does not completely destroy their living force, they will scatter and flee and become outlaws. Harassment place.

At that time, it will be laborious, time-consuming, and more expensive. ”

Lorina froze for a moment, looked at the guy with an excited face crimson, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: This dead fat man who drilled in the eyes of money!

Then he added, "Even if this is the case, but you are now facing a million enemies head-on with only six legions." Isn't that too rash?"

Leo craned his neck and said proudly, "We have to do this!"

Only by completely defeating them with just six legions can the empire's military strength be demonstrated. Beat them to the heart.

Only then will they surrender to our feet and bow down to us. I won't dare to rebel for a hundred years!"

As he spoke, the tiger's body shook, showing the domineering spirit of an unparalleled king.

Lorena looked at him helplessly. Then he muttered, "Six legions, defeating nearly a million orcs, is it possible?"

Lorraine turned around and said, "Don't worry, I have a secret weapon!"

As he spoke, he grinned and pulled out a mouthful of white teeth.
