Rick Tiger was by Xuantian's side and said, "Your Highness, this old guy Dilly is going to fight hard." "He can't work hard if he doesn't want to. "Your Highness, although we have the advantage, if we have to fight hard, our casualties will be very large, after all, the Ten Armies of Light are not delicious fruits. If we let them rush over, then Yue'er will be in danger there, and we must hold out until Yue'er can annihilate the Eighth Cavalry Regiment of Somas and capture the fortress of Gebiye, if not, we don't know when the battle will be over. Xuantian said lightly.

At noon, when Dilly received Fickett's report, his face sank at once, and he ordered: "The whole army stops attacking." Wait for the arrival of the commander-in-chief's army. His deputy, the deputy commander of the Second Cavalry Legion, Maiko, asked: "Diley, what's the matter?" "The orc army has arrived at the battlefield, and after Somas stays behind, our army has retreated and is ready to defend Gebiye Fortress, but the orc army will definitely attack Gebiye Fortress, our army is newly defeated, and Gebiye Fortress will definitely not be able to defend it, so there is no point in our army attacking the Howling Tiger Army again." "That Somas, he ....... "He is dead, whether he dies on the battlefield or not, he will definitely not survive, if he is given the choice, it is better for him to die on the battlefield." Maiko, order the troops to rest for a while, our army has already suffered a lot of losses. ”

Yes, after four hours of fierce fighting, the Second Cavalry Corps has lost more than two million, almost one-tenth of its strength, and the orcs have also paid the price of nearly 300,000 people, but if you want to completely break through the defense line of the Howling Tiger Army, it will take a long time, Somas has been defeated, and there is no point in rushing to the battlefield at this time, since there is no point, then why bother asking the soldiers to die?

At the same time, Xuantian also received Yinyue's report, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that our army has won, but, Nicholas, it's just the beginning, are you ready?" "Your Highness, Nicholas is not stupid, he won't just let us press and fight, be careful what tricks he will have." "It doesn't matter, if I were Nicholas, I would only be able to retreat to the fortified fortress of the second line of defense now, and let the first line of defense be all given to our army, otherwise, his losses will be even greater. ”

The first line of defense of the Bright Army has been broken through by the orcs, and the loss of Gebiye's fortress has made the color of all the generals of the Bright Army dark, they know the seriousness of the problem of the Dao, when the orcs break through the first line of defense, the vast area within 5,000 kilometers between the first line of defense and the second line of defense is simply not able to deal with the wolf cavalry of the orcs, these beasts who come and go like the wind, it is really terrible, the Bright Army that has experienced the last battle of light beasts has already begun to hair a little, yes, the last time Xuantian impressed them was too deep。

This time in the battle of Gebiye, the Bright Army suffered heavy losses, as the main force of the Eighth Cavalry Corps of the Bright Army was almost completely annihilated, only 800,000 remnants were left, if you want to rebuild the Eighth Cavalry Corps, there is no twenty years of time is a fantasy, and the death of the Eighth Cavalry Corps Commander Somas has cast a shadow on all the Bright Army in their hearts. The other eleven legions all suffered great losses, and in general, the Bright Army lost more than 100 million troops this time, and all the war machinery had either been lost to the orcs or blown up, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

There are no statistics on the orc's side, however, it is estimated that the loss will not be less than 30 million, in terms of the comparison of troops, it is between 1 to 3 to 1 to 4, this loss is not very large for the orcs, and the main force of the orc army has no loss at all, which is definitely not a good thing for the light army.

The defeat of the battle is a very big blow to morale, especially this time Somas lost to the orcs with superior troops, which made the soldiers have a kind of fear of the orcs' combat effectiveness, and even the superiority of the troops failed, if the strength is less than the other side? Isn't that going to be even worse? Of course, the generals will not think so, but the soldiers think so, and the generals are powerless to do anything about this.

Nicholas's army arrived at the front line and joined up with Dilly's Second Cavalry Corps, and immediately held a military meeting, and the generals present couldn't help but lower their heads when they saw Nicholas's gloomy face, and they didn't dare to look into Nicholas's eyes. ”

The commander of the Twentieth Legion, Gulis, said: "I think that our army is now greatly damaged and is no longer able to stop the orcs, so our army must withdraw to the second line of defense, hold it with the help of the fortress, and then ask the temple for more reinforcements." ”

This is also the voice of most generals, the battle of Gebino has shown them the formidable combat effectiveness of the orcs, and they do not think that they can stop the orc army with their current strength. "Are there any other different opinions?" said Dilley, and no one spoke up again.

The losses of the orc army are not large, however, the losses of the light army are much more miserable, more than 100 million people died in the battle of Gebiye, and the detailed death report has not yet come out, in addition to the people killed in the battle, there are more than 70 million wounded, more than 30 million of these wounded can be reunited in a few days, however, there are still more than 40 million who can no longer go to the battlefield, they are already crippled, even if the light magic is strong, it can allow some of their important people to be reborn with severed limbs, but, even so, these people can no longer go to the battlefield in a short period of time, therefore, it can be saidIn addition to being reorganized, more than five of the twelve legions participating in the Battle of Gebino will definitely withdraw from the battle, and it is questionable how much combat power the rest will be able to exert. The Bright Army has a total of more than 700 million troops, in addition to losses, there are about 600 million troops, but, under the new defeat, the combat effectiveness is still the original eight achievements are good, and the Gebiye Fortress is lost, which makes the Bright Army no longer in danger, and the orc cavalry can sneak attack the Bright Army everywhere, so that the Bright Army is overwhelmed, and if it goes on like this, the Bright Army will have to retreat if it does not retreat, so the retreat must be retreated.

Nicholas said: "From the moment I received the report from Somas, I knew that this battle might encounter great trouble, so I came up with two plans, the first of course is to retreat, our army must retreat to the second line of defense in order to preserve combat effectiveness and rest, this is certain, if our army has a decisive battle with the orcs in the current situation, then our army's casualties will be very large, this is what our army cannot bear." However, our army is about to retreat, but we can't let the orcs get too good, so I propose that a group of elite soldiers from each unit be drawn from each unit to form a small mobile and flexible force to fight a guerrilla war with the orcs in this vast area. I ordered the whole army to attack south now, with the 2nd Cavalry Corps as the vanguard, and the rest of the troops to slowly retreat, trying not to fight hard with the orcs. ”

In the commander's office of Gebino Fortress, Xuantian rubbed his aching head, and Yinyue helped him gently rub his temples behind his back to relieve Xuantian's headache. Xuantian sighed and said: "I thought that this guy Nicholas would use this trick, but I didn't expect him to be able to implement the spirit of guerrilla warfare so thoroughly, it's really a headache." ”

Nicholas this guy is simply crazy, he extracted five million elites from the army, formed a thousand elite small troops, between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, this is 200,000 kilometers long, 5,000 kilometers wide, and a total area of one billion square kilometers to fight guerrilla warfare with the orcs。

These elite small troops, each of which appears is an all-out attack, because, in this area, there are countless human cities and villages, so, they have a lot of intelligence support, so that it becomes orcs in the light, they are in the dark, once they attack, almost missed, when there are many orcs, they will concentrate a few small forces to attack, if the orcs only appear in small forces, they can eat with their strength, therefore, it is almost impossible for the orcs to divide their troops to loot supplies, just in just ten days, the orcs have lost more than 700,000 troops, so that the orcs can not reconnoiter at all。

This kind of small-scale battle is very troublesome, coupled with the fact that Nicholas actually put a large amount of war materials on the bodies of these small troops, and those soldiers all carry several powerful scrolls on their bodies, it can be said that their combat effectiveness has reached a very strong point, because of this, although each of them is only 5,000 people, but the orcs can't eat them without more than 30,000 troops, plus the lack of intelligence, which makes the orcs can't even find their location, it's too troublesome.

With these small troops operating in the war zone, it would not be so easy for Xuantian to enter even if he wanted to, in case these small troops were allowed to rob a few batches of grain and grass, the orc army would be in chaos without a fight. Although, the orcs can rob the food and grass of the human race, but after the break of these small troops, the human race has begun to retreat on a large scale, and the orcs can't grab much even if they want to grab the supplies, after all, Nicholas still has a strong force in his hands, and it is precisely because of this that they make Xuantian have such a headache.

Yinyue smiled and said: "Brother Tian, guerrilla warfare is a very powerful tactic, but it is not completely impossible to crack, the key is still the problem of intelligence, if we can accurately find their location, then they will not be able to escape." "I know that, it's just that their position is not so easy to find, and we don't have a better way now, we can only watch as Nicholas and that guy form a second line of defense and can't do anything. "It's not very good, we will fight a head-on battle with them, and I believe that with the strength we have, Nicholas will not be able to stop us." Brother Tian, we just care if we can destroy the vitality of the Temple of Light, but we can't hurt them, if it really hurts them, if they transfer all the shadow troops, then we will be in trouble. ”
