Chapter 525 [The Most Expected Happening]
Chapter 525 [The Most Expected Happening]
The inside and outside of the fortress were filled with roaring sounds, and even more filled with the violent smell of males.
But at this time, with the sound of the wind, there was a faint sound of drums.
The beating of the drums, as if with some peculiar rhythm, was only in the wind, looming.
The first to hear the drum was Montoya, who immediately pushed away one of the soldiers beside him, and his originally excited face suddenly became stern. Montoya rushed into the fortress, rushed upstairs, stood behind the battlement, picked up his monoculars and looked north......
"Damn it!"
Montoya cursed fiercely.
......
On the vast white earth, there seemed to be a black ant slowly wriggling.
A dense formation of more than a dozen small phalanxes was neatly advancing south on the snow.
In the middle of the dozen or so phalanxes, several giant beasts were covered with ropes, crawling in the snow, raising their heads from time to time and spewing hot white gas from their thick nostrils.
Behind these giant beasts, more than a dozen thick knots were connected to a huge wooden cart, on which was set up a round drum, and a majestic orc with a naked upper body, the hair on his head was shaved, revealing his smooth head, and he was holding two white bone hammers high in both hands, and he was struggling to beat the big drum one by one.
Right next to the wooden cart, there were several orc warriors, dressed in leather armor and holding thick horns in their hands, puffing out their cheeks and blowing vigorously.
The whining horn, coupled with the rhythmic drumming, seems to have a faint taste of slaughter!
......
"Orcs! It's an army of orcs!"
Montoya clenched his fist and slammed it against the battlement.
Although it was only a cursory glance, Montoya immediately made her own judgment.
This should be considered a "regular army" of orcs!
According to telescopes, these orcs have at least basic leather armor and armor, although the weapons in their hands are still miscellaneous, some long and some short, with knives, hammers and axes.
But at least. The phalanx lined up was barely neat. It can be seen that at least they have received relatively rigorous militarized training, and they are by no means a rabble.
What's more important is the number of them!
There were more than ten small phalanxes, each of which was composed of a hundred and ten orc warriors.
In other words, the number of this orc army is about fifteen hundred.
"All assembled...... Get ready!
Montoya gave his own order.
It was a difficult but wise decision.
Montoya led only an advance cavalry force.
And in this fortress now there are only about two hundred people stationed.
In order to control the area around Zhanì, Montoya divided his 1,000 cavalry into three units and stationed them in the three nearest forts around them, so as to increase the thickness of the defense area.
At present, there are only 200 people here, even if everyone is on the horse. Relying on horsepower to charge, with the superiority of cavalry over infantry, it is also difficult to defeat a regular army of fifteen hundred orcs.
Although these orc regular armies are all infantry, in this icy wilderness, the snow will weaken the cavalry charge to the greatest extent.
It is not a wise move to fight the strong with the weak.
"Hurry up! Let's get out of here!"
This orc army was not moving fast, and it was clear that it was the vanguard scout force of this orc army that had just been eliminated by Montoya. And this main army marched cautiously, presumably having discovered that the vanguard scouts had been exterminated. This orc army was even more cautious, and seemed to have made up its mind, that is, to use the slow advance of the main army to crush it all the way.
"Your Excellency. Where do we retreat?"
An officer beside him asks Montoya for orders.
Montoya rushed downstairs quickly, rushed to the outside of the fortress, looked at the weather, and said quickly: "Send two groups of people." Go and contact the other two cavalry groups and get them to retreat as soon as they get the order!We're going to gather at Fort Seven to the south!That's the largest fort in the neighborhood!Where are we going to form a defensive line against these orcs!"
Speaking of which. Montoya looked around, and the feelings of the soldiers seemed to be a little strange - after all, they had just fought a bloody battle, won a battle, but they were about to flee in the blink of an eye, which always made people feel like they were in a bloody mood, but they were immediately poured a bucket of cold water.
"Don't worry! Lord Darling Chan is right behind us! He has come to our aid with 3,000 troops! Let's go to Fort Seven! Where is the burial place of these orcs!!"
Montoya's men had already led the horses over, and Montoya turned over and up, raised his fists and shouted, "Victory!!"
......
............
When it was dark, Chen Daolin led the brigade of the Chinese army to the No. 7 fortress.
He had already seen on the road the fast horse cavalry sent back by Montoya to report the news.
Fort No. 7 is one of the larger fortresses north of the Northwest Fortress. Of course, it naturally had other names, but Chen Daolin had changed its name to No. 7 Fortress on the military map in order to make it easier to identify.
In fact, the fort had already been sold to the Liszt Chamber of Commerce, according to previous auctions.
It's just that the Liszt family's escort has not yet been stationed.
This fortress has relatively complete fortifications, with the main building of the fortress, the caves of hidden soldiers, and even two passages leading to two auxiliary forts on both sides.
There is also a ring of low walls around the perimeter, which serves as a fortification for the perimeter.
About five hundred meters south of the fort, there was also a wood.
The location here is very good, and although the fortress is not as good as the real military fortresses of the Empire, it can be said that the sparrow is small and has all the organs.
The entire fortress could accommodate more than a thousand soldiers. If the low wall is added as a perimeter defense, it can accommodate 1,500 soldiers participating in defensive battles at the same time, and the hidden hole dug underground inside the fortress can be used as a command post and can also accommodate several hundred reserves.
With the arrival of the 3,000 people brought by Chen Daolin, the morale of the soldiers under the original Montoya in the fortress increased.
When the army entered the low wall, the soldiers of the cavalry group who were baking the fire around the inside of the low wall stood up and saluted Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin jumped out of the carriage, saluted these soldiers according to the etiquette of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, and then walked into the fortress surrounded by the people around him.
Montoya's eyes were bloodshot. It can be seen that this iron-clad man is also a little tired.
Seeing Chen Daolin, Montoya bowed his head and saluted, and Chen Daolin had already dragged him up.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on, the man you sent is too vague. β
Montoya rubbed his cheeks vigorously: "The army of the orcs should be regarded as a regular army, and the number is about fifteen hundred. Just north of us. β
"Is the number accurate?" Chen Daolin frowned: "I don't want to be halfway through the fight, and another batch of orcs will appear." β
"It should be accurate. Montoya said steadily: "It's been two days since we withdrew here. I sent four more groups of scouts to reconnoitre, and the other side had only 1,500 troops. There was no sign of any other orc army to their left, right, and behind them. I think...... This should be all the strength of the orcs this time. β
Chen Daolin squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Well, it's not too much different from my judgment." β
Montoya looked at Chen Daolin in surprise.
Chen Daolin walked to the side first and sat on a chair. Cai smiled: "Don't forget, the kingdom of the orcs, the situation is more complicated than our Rolands.
Orcs are tribal, and they can certainly mobilize tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of troops. But don't forget that the hundreds of thousands of troops are distributed in dozens or even hundreds of large and small tribes throughout the orc kingdom. Even if the orc king wants to fight a national war, it will take a process to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, and mobilize such a huge army. It's not a casual decision.
And there are actually some contradictions within them, the cow clan, the tiger clan, and the wolf clan...... Think about it. How many tribes do they have? haha!
It has only been a few months since we took over the Northwest Fortress, and how long has it been since the news has been circulating to them? They always have to verify the news, they have to probe, they have to inquire...... Where is the time to mobilize a real army?
So. If I'm guessing correctly, we're facing the south of the orc kingdom. A certain tribe with good strength got the news from us here, so he came to pick up some bargains.
Being able to send one or two thousand regular soldiers is already a very powerful tribe. β
Montoya was stunned, he didn't expect that the lord he was loyal to would have such a deep understanding of the orc kingdom.
He...... Isn't he a magician?
Rubbing his face, Montoya said slowly: "Fifteen hundred orc warriors are already very difficult to deal with. My lord, although there are more of us than they are, but ...... The suzhì of our army is no match for the regular army of these orcs. In addition to being more numerous, our individual soldiers are not as good as the orcs, and the proficiency, cooperation, and tacit understanding of the army are far inferior to those of the ......."
"So play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Chen Daolin said lightly: "I don't plan to fight hard with the orcs, we have finally accumulated these family funds, I don't want to fight with these orcs." Don't worry, Montoya, I know in my heart, my purpose in this battle is very simple, I just want our troops to really learn to fight. Well...... Think of it as a real teaching war. Although it is inevitable that people will die. β
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin frowned and looked at Montoya: "You haven't slept for a few days?"
β...... Three days. Montoya gritted his teeth: "There's no way, I always have to keep an eye on the defensive line, otherwise I won't worry." And also...... I evacuated here on my own initiative, and to the north I deliberately abandoned a few forts, I thought the orcs would occupy there...... They will definitely divide their forces and occupy those places. In this way, if they want to leave men to garrison, it will weaken their forces, and ......"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, since I'm here, I'll take care of these things. β
Chen Daolin patted Montoya on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Now I order you, go and sleep! I don't want my bravest general to fall asleep on horseback and fall off the horse while charging!"
Montoya was stunned.
Chen Daolin immediately smiled and said, "Go to sleep! I think the orcs will arrive here tomorrow night at the latest, and a big war will be inevitable at that time." At that time, I need your force! Montoya, go and recuperate! I need a 100 percent Montoya!"
The Holy Knight's heart was hot, he bowed his head to Chen Daolin, and then walked down quickly.
Chen Daolin walked to the wall, looked at a military map hanging on the wall, and was stunned for a while.
Then, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
......
"No! we have to send troops!!"
Span roared angrily: "With Darling Chen's little strength, he can't defend the Northwest Fortress!!Paning! Think about it with your brain!!That's the Northwest Fortress!!Damn!!Our scouts have already discovered that the steppe people's troops have passed through the territory of the Tulip family, and have begun to spy on our defenses! At this time, if the orcs run over from the Northwest Fortress, we will be attacked on both sides!!We can't afford it!!Panin!!Make a decision!!"
Panin was contemplating, thinking about something.
"You...... What are you still thinking about!!Darling Chen, that guy is a magician!!Hell!No matter how powerful a magician is, he is just one person!A magician can't protect the entire Northwest Fortress!!The Northwest Fortress is a matter of national fortune!!"
Panin slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Span: "Span, I suddenly figured out something. β
β...... What?"
"Perhaps...... This is exactly what the duchess wants to happen!".
