Chapter 400: The Wolf of the Wind

General Cry Li immediately let out a long sigh and said, "Then forgive me for yelling, my lord." Although I also understand the necessity of this action, there are only more than 800 people, is it a bit insufficient in troops, not to mention anything else, even the slightly larger tribes on the grassland, they are not able to fight. ”

Lorraine looked at the direction of the eight hundred cavalry and said, "Of course I know this. But there really is no way around it. Conditions apply

In the prairie, the most scarce thing is not food, but water

"Water source?. General Larry wondered.

Lorraine said, "The more south." The drier the grassland climate, the less water there is. Orcs are constantly migrating and nomadic every year in search of water. Because of this, the area around Star Lake has become a sacred place for orcs, and only a few of the most powerful tribes can occupy it.

Our people go deep into the grasslands, and if they want to survive, they can only ensure high mobility, so that those orcs can't catch up with them, they have no stronghold, they can't rest, they must move all the time.

Eat and dress these things, and when the time comes, they will have to rob the orc tribe, and only drinking water is a problem. According to the carrying capacity on the steppe. Only one medium tribe could be guaranteed to have the need for constant migration, and that was a total of four thousand men and large livestock. ”

General Larry took a puff of cold hair and exclaimed, "So"

Lorraine nodded and sighed helplessly. "It's just too little." For the steppes, there was no essential difference between two thousand cavalry and eight hundred cavalry, and this number was not enough to change the balance of power in that region.

But for the cavalry participating in the battle, it was crucial.

One man and one horse. A soldier who goes to a war horse is equivalent to losing his life, and with one person and three horses, they can intersperse and crisscross at will without any scruples. Moreover, the way I gave them to fight was different from the previous ones. ”

General Larry's eyes lit up and he said, "Change the way the cavalry fights?

Lorraine laughed, "Once in the far east, on the other side of the Endless Sea. There is also a grassland like here. ”

General Larry looked at the fantasy that Lorraine said, and pulled his head to which side of the sky, although his mind was full of confusion, and he didn't know which one Lorraine was singing. I can only listen patiently.

"In that steppe, a powerful empire of nomads once arose, which relied on a core cavalry force of only a few hundred thousand men to conquer and rule most of the continent. Although I don't have a good impression of the nomads, I have to say that they are too powerful, Lorraine said leisurely.

"It can't be. General Larry blurted out, and after finishing speaking, he knew that it was rude, and hurriedly said: "I don't question your statement, my lord, it's just that even during the Great War of Gods and Demons, the most powerful cavalry troops, the black knights of the demon clan, they relied on the number of 200,000 people, and they failed to conquer even an empire. ”

"Black Knight?" Lorraine scratched his head and thought for a moment, he had a slight impression of the term. But because he wasn't interested in the mythical war of gods and demons, he threw it aside. According to the book, the Black Knight is a group of powerful warriors with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, they are armed with spears, not only have high martial arts, but also have the ability of junior mages, and the powerful Black Knight and even the mounts are raptors or nightmares, wearing black heavy armor, killing people like crushing ants.

Lorraine scoffed at this, once deriding that it was another epic joke of 100,000 people surrounding Troy for ten years, and there were really 200,000 black knights. Not to mention that they can cut people down immediately, and they can turn into sheep under the horse, even if they are all used as junior mages, they will have already killed the Protoss to the scum.

Lorraine waved his hand and said, "What is the difference, the nomads, they only have short horses, the light cavalry does not even have armor, the heavy cavalry is equipped with light armor such as leather armor or chain mail, and only uses bows and arrows and spears as weapons. They are often able to defeat heavily armored armies several times their number. ”

General Larry was stunned and said, "How is that possible?."

"Yes, very people still think it's impossible, but they did. Because they are well-trained, disciplined, and tactically flexible. ”

Just like the eight hundred cavalry sent by the adults, General Larry said thoughtfully.

This is only the surface, Lorraine shook his head and said: "The key is that they particularly emphasize the mobility of the troops, and the main tactics are long-distance outflanking and detouring, and attacking in separate and combined attacks.

Relying on the high agility of the light cavalry, they often made roundabouts of hundreds of miles, and prevented the enemy's attack from the enemy, so as to seize the initiative in the battle and drag the enemy into a battlefield environment that was powerful against them. ”

General Larry frowned, thought for a while, and said, "But my lord, highly mobile troops must not have high attack power. ”

Lorraine spread her hands and said, "In our opinion, yes." But in reality, it's different.

So my order to Vokal was never to attack the enemy from the front.

I've given them enough mages. Guaranteed to show the enemy before they show them. It also prevents them from being surrounded by orcs.

After the current orc army, only attack with bows and arrows, to constantly harass them, and retreat after the orcs pursue, always keeping the half-orcs in a state of imminence, hooking the orcs until the orcs are exhausted and the formation is scattered. ”

General Larry mentally deduced the tactics that Lorraine said, looked up and said, "That's why the adults must match each cavalry with three."

Lorraine pursed his lips and said, "I originally wanted to match five horses." Our war horses are good, but I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to the climate on the grassland.

There is a joke in the city of Ruman, a nobleman raised a famous Parthian horse, and after careful care, he was very miraculous, and then he rode this famous horse to Parthia to fight, but the poor Parthian stallion could not stand the Parthian climate, so he froze to death in the desert, and finally the unlucky nobleman had to walk back to Constantine from the Parthian front. General Larry was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

Lorraine shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, deep into the grassland, the most important thing is mobility, for those cavalry, mobility is life."

The orcs can't catch up with our cavalry, but our cavalry can drag them down little by little, and then, as long as the rest of the men are taken from all sides. Cover them with a dense barrage of arrows before rushing up for close combat. Eight hundred cavalry is enough to eat two and a half orc warriors. ”

General Larry nodded and said, "The use of this tactic by the unit can indeed drag down a considerable number of enemy troops. In a large-scale battle, if you are equipped with ambushed infantry at this time, you can fight more with less. ”

"Actually, the orcs have always done this, but because we have walls and the orcs don't, this tactic has a bit of an impact on us. Lorraine said, "I've given it all to Vokar. ”

"But there is no time for him to get acquainted with it," Lorraine sighed. Said helplessly: "How many can you do, how many results can be achieved." It's all up to his own creation. As long as he can come back from the steppe alive, then our Ruman Empire will have another outstanding cavalry commander

General Larry said, "Vokkar is the most nimble officer I have ever met, bold and decisive, he knows how to advance and retreat. ”

Lorraine smiled bitterly and said, "In the vast grassland, who knows what difficulties await them ahead." ”

General Larry stepped forward and said: "As an emperor, it is our duty to defend the country and protect the country, my lord only commanded a few hundred students in the Maple Leaf Danlin to face 70,000 Almohads, wouldn't it be more dangerous than Volkar at that time, he could still run if he couldn't fight, and you didn't even have a way to retreat at that time."

Lorraine said: "You look up to me, I never thought that I would hang up in the battle of Maple Leaf Danlin." The Almohads don't know whether they live or die, and they still don't understand whose ass they touched. ”

Lorraine secretly said in his heart: At that time, there were one or two dragons in the academy, and one of them had become a dragon spirit. And Vera is a dangerous person in the dragon clan, and I feel at ease.

With the eight hundred cavalry marching south with the momentum of "wind and abandonment", the plan to prevent fire in the backyard of the orcs has been implemented, and the rest is up to their own ability.

Later, the cavalry regiment known as the "Burning Legion" for some reason disappeared into history. But there is a very conscientious historian who pointed out sharply: called "the wolf of the wind." General Karl, the famous imperial general and cavalry commander, should be directly responsible for the death of 100,000 orcs on the steppe. Nearly half a million people are indirectly responsible for the deaths.

But soon, this brick family was called "just, open, and fair" by the "Center for the History and Culture of Modern and Modern War" of the Royal Juman Academy of Sciences. Please go for tea.

Then, after the patient ideological work of the deputy director of the center, this good young man was finally saved by the gray-headed old man, and he really realized his mistake in front of his old man, and finally was sent home by the deputy director of Pingyi in his old man's own special car with the imperial general's badge.

But that's all for later.

After sending off the cavalry, Lorraine returned to the stalemate of the southern front.

At this time, the two sides were along several cities east of Crony City, and you were fighting back and forth.

Cities everywhere abide by Lorraine's order, that is, they can't leave the city if they are killed, even if there is only one half-orc in the city who is bored to catch rabbits, they must not open the city gates, and there is no order from Lorraine. The lord of the city opened the gates of the city to fight the orcs and was dismissed on the spot.

This is a non-negotiable order. The various city lords immediately carried out it very thoroughly.

Let the orcs run back and forth in the city, peeing and scolding or something, the defenders on the city wall just ignore them, and the net began to release arrows to expel it, and then simply didn't bother to care, seeing the half-orcs coming, they waved their hands enthusiastically, and greeted a "have you eaten?". "Greetings to the female direct elders of the half-orcs again.

After Lorraine ordered the fortified walls to clear the wilderness, the houses outside the city except for the orcs who lived a little better were empty, just like us now, but they couldn't grab food or benefits.

Although the chiefs of the orcs cheered up the hungry orcs one by one, saying that there were no supplies. How can the Japanese army, ah no, the valiant orcs be able to endure any hardship. Food can be taken from the enemy.

The orcs had no choice but to venture deeper into Naian for more than 100 miles to snatch food.

The humans relied on the well-established beacon signal to guard against them early on, and the orcs gained very little, and were always intercepted by the Naian army that arrived later. After doing this a few times, no one wanted to risk it again.

The orc soldiers were forced to run to the mountains to the west to hunt, and the patriarchs did not dare to storm the human city, so they kept cursing Vichin and Torek

Faced with increasingly dissatisfied subordinates, the patriarchs had no choice but to once again preach that "orcs have been a herbivorous people since ancient times." Surrounded by such fertile farmland, you report a lack of food?

There are even patriarchs who live in the manor with a big wife, and they don't go out to fight against the half-orc warriors under them, but there is one. It's very dissatisfying to eat.

These patriarchs said that they wanted to retreat to the steppe because they could not fight without food. Can such a person be called an orc with a long and glorious history and great traditions, forever favored and inspired by the great and glorious Ancestral God?

We orcs will have to keep fighting even if we don't have food. You can't fight a war without weapons and food? This can never be justified!

If you don't have a sword, you can also have a fist. Words without fists. Can be kicked with your feet. Even if these are gone, can't you still bite them with your teeth?" "Don't forget the spirit that a half-orc warrior should have! The gods of the ancestors will definitely bless us, and if you are interested, you can search for the Battle of Imphal, which is very happy."

If the hard one doesn't work, then the soft one, the orcs used their brains and racked their brains to come up with all kinds of schemes. It's showing weakness and acting or something, just to lure humans out of the city to fight them in the field.

However, the human beings are all cowards, and they all value their official positions more than the heads of a few orcs. In the face of the half-orcs' dedication to the performance, I just didn't see it.

Although the southern line has been beaten into a pot of hot porridge. Smoke rises everywhere, shouting and killing, but Nedel City is still a prosperous scene of singing and dancing.

Although the tense atmosphere of the battlefield can be seen from the battle reports posted every day.

But there was no smoke in Nedel City. There are no wounded in sight, and no damned orc invaders, of course there are still half-orcs. The leaders of the Abendan tribe are now in love with the city of Nider.

This war is in full swing, and for the people of Naian, who are leisurely walking on the street, it seems as if it is far away in the sky.

Catherine and Adele obviously didn't think so, Lorraine and Vera had been gone for a long time, and every report of war from the south worried them both.

The two of them now run the province in place of Lorraine, and have to deal with a lot of administrative and war-related matters every day, such as the transfer of logistics and pensions.

In particular, Lorraine did not even say hello, and he had to give a large land reward to 800 soldiers. This made Catherine really angry and busy all day, and when she wrote to Lorraine to complain a lot. said that he had a few more wrinkles, he couldn't sleep well every day, and the bags under his eyes came up, etc.,

Wait.

After Lorraine received the letter, she just looked at her plump wallet that had been ransacked by Vera and shrugged helplessly.

Because Leo did not have Lorraine's support, he was a bit alone, so he had to adopt a strategic approach, temporarily succumbing to Catherine's obscenity, and slowly drawing it, especially Catherine assigned him a lot of winter vacation homework, Leo was forced to shout every day, and then chased after Melina to copy homework.

Each of Sylmelia's dogs was in Nedle's temple, praying for the soldiers on the front line with all the members.

The priests behind Hilmelia saw that their archbishop, despite his high position and tough backstage, loved the people so much that he kept praying for the front-line soldiers regardless of his own body. They were all moved to tears.

These Grim Reaper sticks would never have imagined that all that was on Hilmelia's mind was: let that dead-looking guy come back safely and quickly.

Since taking office, Schillea has carried the Pope's edict and resorted to heavy-handed rectification and continuous measures. A few disobedient priests and chief priests were driven to the northern city, and now the church in Ne was left with the voice of Sylmeria alone.

The people of Nai'an were naturally deeply moved to see that their archbishop was so concerned about the well-being of the people of Nai'an, and even went up to a higher level with their donations to the church.

Of course, although the province of Nai An is now very good, it is a great good, not a good one. But it is not without elements of unpeace.

However, the East Factory Jinyiwei built by Lord Lorraine is not a vegetarian. Therefore, the quarry outside Nedel City is already a little insufficient, and two sub-bases have been opened.

I have to sigh at the ability of Captain Belém's work, for the sake of the people of Naian, and especially for the sake of the Governor of Lorraine who are keeping an eye on those saboteurs within Nai'an.

Otherwise, Captain Belém is the confidant of the Governor of Lorraine

Pirianke, the guy in the store at the beginning, has been active in Belém's eyes since he was poached by Captain Belém and went from a guy in a restaurant to a full-fledged employee of a venture capital firm.

After the basic training of venture capital firms. Pirianke officially started his internship. His task was to keep an eye on the man in black who had appeared by him, after a period of observation. Now Belen has determined that there is indeed something wrong with that person.

When the man in black had settled the bill at the inn, Piriank knew he might be leaving the city. Immediately sent someone to report to Belen, and followed closely.

After receiving the report, Belen did not dare to delay, and urgently asked to see Catherine and Adele...... If you want to know how to jump,
