Chapter 173: Advance and Retreat

"Stupid!" When the prince saw those cavalry jumping into the pit to seek life, the anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, but the prince also knew in his heart that whether it was fighting or fleeing, the divided part of the cavalry was certain to die, looking at the cavalry who fled back to the formation, the prince snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to a slightly chubby general.

"Chloan, is this the elite power you have cultivated for the Empire?"

The general who was in good health couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, he didn't dare to look directly at the prince's gaze, but he knew in his heart that the prince already had plans to vent his anger on him.

However, this general named Chloan was unwilling to be angered by the crown prince like this, so although his body trembled, he did not tremble in the slightest when he spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, these are all despicable tricks used by cunning orcs, the imperial soldiers are brave, and they fall into treacherous tricks, such small tricks have still been revealed, and in front of the powerful army of the empire, they will definitely be like a cloud of smoke and a cloud, and they will be vulnerable!"

The prince turned his head slightly and snorted coldly and said, "You have seen through the opponent's tricks?"

"This ......" Chloan was speechless, knowing that no matter what he said, the prince would ask more embarrassing questions, so he kept his mouth shut very interestingly.

After the buffer of his speech, the priest next to him also came up to admonish, but some of the generals echoed it, but more of them were just silent, or snorted coldly to express their dissatisfaction, and the faramor closest to the prince showed a look of anger on his face.

For a while, the noisy sound became louder and louder, and the prince's face began to become more and more gloomy, and as time passed, someone finally realized that the prince's face was abnormal, and the people who reacted began to silently close their mouths, knowing that in the end, no one dared to speak, except for the screams from afar, the prince fell into unprecedented silence around him.

On the ruins, the eagle people have been assembled, looking at the dense soldiers gathered at the bottom of the deep ditch, they don't need to aim at all, they shoot all the crossbow arrows directly, in their eyes, those Kotler soldiers who began to cry for mercy because they fell into despair, there is no pity in the slightest, since they are enemies, they must be completely eliminated to prevent future troubles!

The war has been going on for half a day now, as more and more orcs pour out of the earthen wall, the soldiers inside the deep ditch are almost completely wiped out, and the screams have become much quieter, but the corpses are rampant in sight, the blood is flowing like a river, the ground is beginning to become muddy because of the soaking of blood, and even the orcs who are slaughtering have slipped and fallen.

Near noon, the isolated Imperial cavalry finally came to a temporary end under the voice of the orcs surrendering and immortal, and nearly 10,000 soldiers put down their weapons in despair, and then knelt on the ground with their legs in their hands, holding their heads in their hands, waiting for the final sentence of the orcs.

All this is in the eyes of the prince, seeing those soldiers scrambling to throw away the weapons in their hands, the prince couldn't help but close his eyes, the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, this kind of hard slap in the face, even if the prince was 10,000 unwilling, he had to bear it, and he could only keep this humiliation in his heart, and it could no longer spread outward.

Until the last soldier put down his weapon, the orcs began to clean the battlefield unscrupulously, collect the prisoners, trap these soldiers with their hands and then connect them in a string, and then drove them into the earthen wall in groups, and those ownerless mounts were also concentrated into the earthen wall, in this process, except for a simple reprimand, no one of the orcs shouted, no matter what race of orcs, they did what they did without a word, until the last orc disappeared into the earthen wall, and there was no howl of celebration from the Shura-like battlefield。

This scene was seen by the opponent, cold in the heart, human beings can't guess why the orcs who have won a phased victory don't celebrate, the orcs are not stupid to this extent, and the many battles with each other are enough to prove that they are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very shrewd.

Maybe his generals didn't feel it, but as the commander, Prince Taylor Kuwait understood what the orcs were thinking now after thinking for a while: the war is not over yet, and until the final victory is achieved, some things are in vain!

The prince thought that he was right, although celebration could take advantage of the situation to hit his own morale, but the orcs had done enough, killing the imperial soldiers in the pit and causing unknown casualties, slaughtering the opponents on the ground in a steady stream, and then forcing the opponent's psychology to the point of complete collapse, abandoning the blade and surrendering, and then collecting the prisoners in a big way, cleaning up the battlefield, everything they did was to destroy their own morale, since they had achieved their goal, so why waste their energy?

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but smile bitterly, after all, he didn't know what the regular army was, no matter what the next war would be, the war had reached such a point, and the face of the Kotler Empire had been lost, but even so, in addition to a few generals who had a cautious attitude, there were actually generals who thought that the emperor's ** team could destroy the withering and decaying, and drove the orcs back to the orc forest like a bamboo, and the priests were convinced, and they didn't know where the confidence came from.

These very optimistic generals are lords in all areas of the empire, they have a large number of private armies in their hands, and when they heard that the empire was going to recruit orcs, they were attracted by the rich military merit rewards, and the 600,000 imperial army was formed in this way, and the private army was a private army after all, and these private armies were loosely disciplined, with no one in their eyes, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, Although after a short period of running-in, he has a certain combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but this kind of combat effectiveness can be done even by the Imperial Recruit Corps, and the idea of wanting to obtain combat merits with this is really ridiculous.

I thought that if there was a blow of defeat, they would face up to their opponents, but now it seems that their arrogance and vanity have soaked into every bone and every piece of meat, and they are completely hopeless.

The prince looked at the battlefield in the distance and said calmly: "Order to prepare lunch, stay put!" After saying that, the prince returned to the big tent, and the rest of the generals did not dare to say much, nor did they dare to enter the big tent, so they left separately, and when Faramir was alone, he looked left and right, and after the report, he also entered the big tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw the prince's pale face covering his mouth with a handkerchief, the pure white handkerchief had been soaked in red, Faramir did not make a sound, but walked quickly to the prince's side, greeted with concern, looking at the prince's face, this bruise should have been held for a long time, it is obvious that yesterday's injury is not good, the old injury has recurred, coupled with the unfavorable war of the empire, the casualties are heavy, the prince must be angry and anxious to become what he is now.

Pushing away Faramor weakly, Prince Taylor slowly sat down in his seat, and after a long exhale, there was a trace of blood on his face, despite this, the prince's state was still very bad, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would become a chronic illness, so that the prince would no longer have a chance to advance on the path of cultivation.

Faramir was about to speak with a concerned expression, when the prince raised his hand to interrupt the military judge's words and said: "I have nothing to do, don't worry, now in this big tent, just you and me, tell me what you think of today's battle." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you planning to withdraw your troops?"

"I don't think our opponent will withdraw, now that the war has reached this point, it has reached the point of not dying, has the Kotler Empire lost so many people, it is impossible to withdraw easily, don't forget, in Kontan City, the Kotler Empire has won, under this pressure, if it were me, although I knew that if I continued to fight, the result might be more cruel, I would still choose war. ”

Fengya looked at the long line representing the ravine on the sand table, and said with an affirmative face.

"What if the other side withdraws?" the wolf cavalry adjutant touched his chin and said: "If the other side withdraws, all our efforts will be in vain, and we will not be able to complete the set goal, which is our failure." ”

Bellows nodded in agreement with the adjutant of the wolf cavalry, while adding: "Once the other side retreats, the wolf cavalry we remain in the territory of the Kotler Empire will also face the danger of being attacked from both sides, so how to contain the enemy is our primary goal, although I personally think that the other side will continue to attack is more likely." ”

The current situation is very delicate, the Kotler Empire does not know that the Orc Empire is going to fight a defeated battle, and the preparation of traps again and again is actually to consume the opponent's troops to make up for the shortcomings of their own combat strength, but now it seems that the opponent's number of troops is very large, but the combat ability is a little low, and the message transmitted by the wolf cavalry commander is very different.

Now the situation of the wolf cavalry staying in the Kotler Empire has begun to develop in a dangerous direction, and more and more imperial ** teams have participated in the encirclement and suppression of this wolf cavalry with more than 10,000 people and superior combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the speed of the wolf cavalry, maybe not even half of the wolf cavalry in the Kotler Empire would be left, and it was not the main elite troops of the Kotler Empire that caused this result, just some of the border troops of the empire completely made this wolf cavalry unit anxious, the combat effectiveness of these border troops is medium, but the commander's command art can be called everyone.

The endless tactics once made the wolf cavalry almost surrounded by regiments, and after having such an opponent, the wolf cavalry could no longer smoothly and effectively attack the logistics supply line, and the logistics support continued, which could be regarded as supporting the prince's expedition from the side, so it is not difficult to see the difference between the two troops: one above ground and one underground.

"Shall we let the wolf cavalry force come back, and if the battle is unfavorable, can they return to the Empire through the province of Tarn?" Bellows asked, hesitating, staring at Stormfang.

Fengya shook his head very affirmatively and said, "We can't retreat." ”

At the same time, in the opposite headquarters, the prince also shook his head and said: "My teacher, Imperial Marshal Pixar, once said a sentence when teaching me the theory of military warfare: When we are in a dilemma, we can only advance and not retreat, and there may be a glimmer of hope, so we can't retreat, pass the order, and continue to attack in the afternoon." ”

"But that obstacle in the middle, how should we cross it, if we attack it, it will pay a lot of casualties. "Faramir knew that the prince had made up his mind, and couldn't help but raise his worries, just trying to capture that deep ditch would cost a lot of casualties, and the orcs had always occupied the advantageous position, could it be that the prince wanted to use magic, but now the magician's magic power has not recovered, how to fight?
