"Well, let's go down and do it. Lin Nian looked at the soldiers who gave the order in the afternoon, a tender grass core pulled out of the soil in his mouth shook from side to side, and the crusading army attacked in winter, which made Lin Nian somewhat surprised, but these accidents can be dealt with, the staff of the Orc Empire has already had a plan, and at this time the Orc Empire has a certain advantage, after all, from the intelligence point of view, the crusading army led by Kahler has incomplete winter materials, even if it is to feed the war with war, there are not enough resources to support it, the first line of defense built by the two hundred miles of entry into the Tarn Province is just for show, and the first line of defense built for three hundred miles is just for show, and then five hundred miles back is the first line of defense in the real sense, that is, within eight hundred miles, it is impossible to have available supplies.

At the beginning of the establishment of the crusading army, the garrison of the orc empire has been in a state of small-scale warfare, from a dozen scouts to hundreds of people in the squad, they have been running for intelligence, both sides have their own damage, generally the orc empire has the advantage, plus the orc empire has air superiority, so the crusading army is at a disadvantage in terms of reconnaissance intelligence, fortunately, the Kotler Empire has a complete intelligence analysis department, and the situation of the province of Tarn is the intelligence that has been unified and sorted out by the intelligence department and confirmed to be correct.

As for the Orc Empire's side, intelligence has never been an issue.

The whole continent knows that the former regent of the Kotler Empire is a military wizard who likes to pump other people's ass very much, judging from every battle he has handled, most of them start from the weak links of the opponent's logistics, and the number of frontal battles is very small, so it gives the world an illusion that it will only be a surprise strategy, but no one will admit one thing, the strong orc empire, those outstanding officers who graduated from military academies, and even the orc generals who are comparable to the marshal of the empire, are all disciples of the former regent, these orcs have a high frontal combat ability, they are all fought one after another, if anyone dares to think that Lin Nian will only scheming, and not focusing on the frontal battlefield, an opponent with this idea is not worthy of being Lin Nian's enemy.

"The battlefield is never before and after. Kahler looked at the generals in front of him and said calmly, and Pope Frank on the side nodded slightly, the generals in the tent were not only the officers of the Kotler Empire, but also the sacrifices of the temple, although there were not many of them, but there were not a few sacrifices in important positions, when Calle spoke, these sacrifices were a little unconvinced, but after Frank nodded, these sacrifices nodded imperceptibly and then looked at Kahler with a much more deferential look.

For this small change, of course, Kahler can feel it, in fact, these sacrifices are good seedlings of the temple, in terms of military literacy, it is indeed possible to rest assured to appoint generals with troops, and when integrating the crusade army, these sacrifices can also mingle with the generals under their command, the reason why they look at their eyes is different, in fact, because they do not plan to send troops after the beginning of spring, but just start the army as soon as winter, in the mainland has just suffered a tsunami disaster, and the three major empires are seriously damaged, but the damage to the orc empire is relatively small, Frank has planned to send a message to the Light God Clan, praying that the date can be postponed to the beginning of spring, but was directly stopped by KahlerAfter a long day of negotiation, Frank finally backed down, and the army was drawn in early winter.

Whether it is a young emperor or a pope, he is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the crusading army, especially the disadvantages, which have been exposed on the first day of the march, the strong walls of the orc empire make it impossible for the crusading army to supply as soon as possible, and can only rely on a long supply line, and after three days of marching, the logistics department has sent a military report, and traces of orc activities have been found around the supply line, but there has been no attack, one is that the logistics are tight, and the other is that the other party's troops are not much, even if there is harassment, they are all repelled by the escort army, and then find that there is no place to speak, just appear near the nearby supply line from time to time, do not attack, but it is a constant harassment day and night.

"The maximum number of men will not exceed a hundred, and they should all be soldiers of the local garrison, find out where they are stationed, and send two thousand cavalry to assist in uprooting these strongholds. "This is Caller's coping strategy, the Orc Empire is not having a good time now, the continuous war has caused the strength of the Orc Empire to drop a lot, the reason why Lin Nian insisted on strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness is not just to give himself a problem, but he also knows that this is the battle for the survival of the Orc Empire, so he must shrink his forces as much as possible to avoid being gradually eaten away by himself, as for the harassment of these garrisons, it should be spontaneous, and he did not get Lin Nian's instructions.

"Commander-in-chief, we will arrive here in one day, according to the reconnaissance intelligence back, there is an orc legion of about 3,000 people in front of the two legions of the vanguard army, and the fortifications have been built and have been on the defensive. "A temple priest reports to Calle, in the crusade army, there is only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, there is no so-called emperor and pope, this is the rule that has been set at the first meeting, so no matter who it is, in the face of Calle or Frank, can only be called an adult or commander-in-chief, if you want to show respect, at most add your Excellency and crown.

Kahler looked at the barracks, sneered and said: "Build fortifications on the plain, think that this king will fight positional warfare?" Record the order, and order the two engineering teams of the vanguard army to build twenty catapults in three days, and after the construction is completed, attack the city. ”

This temple priest looked embarrassed, but didn't say anything more, and went directly to pass the order, he was very curious that the orcs would really give them this opportunity?

In fact, of course not, on the first day when the order was delivered, the two vanguard legions were just about to move, and they found that the catapults had already been set up in the orc camp, and it was only one night after Caller gave the order that the vanguard army had prepared the wood, and before they could do anything, five catapults had already been placed in the orc barracks five miles away......

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, is it the ...... inside our barracks" The Legion Commander of the Vanguard Legion was born in the Temple, and his legion camp was to be higher, in order to prevent the orcs from sneaking up, when he saw the situation on the other side, he immediately rushed back to report, and after the report, he was about to say whether there was a leak of news inside, but he was directly interrupted by Frank and said: "Don't worry, what we can think of, the opponent may not be unexpected." ”

When the general saw that the Pope had spoken, he stopped talking, but Calle said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the soldiers brought out by that guy have always had strange thinking, so you must not despise the opponent, and after you go back, according to the established plan, just block the gate of the opposite camp with stones, and move as quickly as possible, otherwise it is very likely that you will change camps, if they do." After listening to Caller's words, the temple general rushed back without saying a word, and the result really made Caleb right, the orcs on the opposite side actually relied on the range advantage to smash the flat ground between the camps of the two armies into a mess of rocks, seriously affecting the march and battle.

"What's the situation?" It's only a day to go back and forth, how can it change so quickly?, the temple general thought about Calle's words, dispelled his previous suspicions that there was something wrong inside, and focused more on his opponent.

He left the camp less than fifty breaths, the opposite orc camp opened the camp gate, and then pushed the five catapults out, the deputy commander thought that the orcs were going to war, so he ordered the commander of the other regiment to go out of the camp to prepare for the battle, as a result, the five catapults began to throw stones half a mile outside the camp, this was a day, and I don't know why this catapult was so strong, it actually hit from the rising sun to the twilight, and even did not rest at noon.

"So you just watched it for a day?" The temple general glared at the deputy head of the temple and asked, the deputy head of the temple, who was also a general from the temple, frowned and asked with a puzzled expression: "Sir, they didn't make any changes except for throwing stones indiscriminately, and they beat the five catapults until they were scrapped, and they went back." The deputy head of the regiment watched the regiment leader's face get darker and darker, and knew that he must have said the wrong thing, so he kept silent after speaking, waiting to be reprimanded.

"What did the legion commander in the back say?"

"He said it's okay, the orcs fight the orcs, let's fight ours. Our catapults have been built and will be ready for use tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will use the stones from the ground to bring them back. Seeing the chief's somewhat surprised look, the deputy head could only shrug his shoulders and say that he didn't know anything.

"I'm afraid that the opponent on the opposite side won't give us a chance at all!" After speaking, the legion commander ordered to strengthen vigilance, double the patrol manpower, and be careful of the opponent's night attack, this is an old trick of the orc empire, but the next day, the legion commander looked at the empty military camp opposite, and his head was a little unturned, what is this going to do?

Thousands of people, who didn't run early or late, threw a stone on the ground, and then didn't even want the camp, so they ran away?!

The scouts were dispatched, and there was no one within a radius of thirty miles, but he could see the trajectory of the other party's retreat, and he should have run to the northwest, maybe it was the base camp of the other party, but these three thousand people came to disgust him? The regiment commander was a little confused, but after learning the news, Kahler sighed slightly and said: "Too cautious, lost the opportunity to eat one bite." ”

"The opponent is cunning and cautious, at least not wrong. If the commander had been a little more bold, the three thousand orcs would not have been able to escape, and the five catapults interfered with his judgment at the most opportune time, resulting in no casualties on both sides, but the morale of the troops was invisibly suppressed.

"Rest assured, it's not even a pre-dinner dessert, it's just a mouthwash at most. "Kahler doesn't care about Frank's maintenance, it doesn't matter if the vanguard army doesn't make achievements, he just goes forward step by step, and he doesn't believe that guy doesn't make a move.

At the very least, let the vanguard eat dessert, otherwise, how can he continue to walk?
