Chapter 230： full of confidence

Chapter 230 Full of confidence

"How's it going, have you got in touch?"

Prime Minister Herceg asked nervously.

The sudden action of the orcs did not completely cut off Dapace's connection with the outside world, but the normal communication was still affected.

Facing the blockade of the Eagle Air Force, the Griffon Cavalry could only look for opportunities to break through in the slits.

Communications in heaven are blocked, and communications on earth are more affected.

To sneak out from under the eyes of the orc army, in addition to strength, luck is also needed.

It's not that there are more advanced communication methods, such as: magic circle.

But this thing is not only cumbersome to arrange, but also expensive and scary, and it cannot be moved.

Since its birth, it has been a tasteless product. Unless the alchemy technology is further improved, there is no possibility of promotion.

For a city under heavy siege, losing contact with the outside world is undoubtedly very dangerous.

As soon as they noticed something was wrong, the high-level officials of the principality hurriedly sent people out of the city to contact the troops from all over the country.

"We got in touch, but the situation is a bit bad.

The coalition forces of the southern provinces led by Earl Fidelis were attacked by the Beamon Army and are currently holding their ground at Fort Allente.

The other armies did not encounter any trouble, but we got bad news from the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Army, that the orcs are attacking Terence's defense line with all their strength.

The exact circumstances are unknown, but Lord Hudson advised us to prepare for the worst.

At present, the expeditionary force has accelerated its speed, and it is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow, and we should cooperate with us inside and outside to tear apart the orcs' encirclement of Dapes. "

Earl Martins said with a slightly panicked expression.

The more you know, the more trouble you have.

Others have not realized the seriousness of the problem, but he, the Minister of Military Affairs, is very clear that the situation facing the principality will become more and more difficult.

The three northern countries encountered troubles almost at the same time, and they couldn't find anyone to ask for help. The collapse of any one of them would deal a major blow to the other two.

Neighboring countries nearby, it is okay to ask them to support some supplies, and there is no need to embarrass others when sending troops to fight.

Even if countries can send reinforcements, Earl Martins doesn't know how to use them. If the group is accidentally destroyed, it will be a great debt of favor.

If you want to reverse the situation, you have to wait for reinforcements from the Human Race Alliance to arrive. But the prerequisite is that they can persist for such a long time.

"Can the Light Expeditionary Army and the defenders of Dapace defeat the enemies who besiege us?"

Prime Minister Herceg asked rather anxiously.

This is the sequelae of old defeats. After a series of wars, everyone lacks confidence in their own army.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, Earl Hudson is not a reckless person, and he must have a certain degree of confidence in daring to propose this plan.

Although there are 300,000 orc army outside the city, they are all the cannon fodder army of the orc empire, and their combat effectiveness is very average.

The current total strength of the expeditionary force has also exceeded 120,000. Perhaps they can defeat the orc army outside the city without our intervention.

But to be on the safe side, it's better to send some more troops over. The infantry couldn't catch up, but the cavalry came rushing over and it was not a big problem.

The only suspense is whether the Beamon Legion of the orcs will return to aid.

However, we have two cavalry regiments, plus the new cavalry regiment of the Expeditionary Army, and a few knight regiments. It should not be a big problem to entangle them for a while. "

Earl Martins analyzed rationally.

I have no confidence in myself, but I have full confidence in outsiders. I have to say this is a kind of irony.

But the reality is before our eyes. In the previous battle, the army of the Principality of Moxi did not perform up to standard.

After going through the most difficult early stage of the war, the situation has improved, but under the conservative strategy of Marshal Hodge, there is still no record that can be achieved.

Just defending the line of defense, or losing both sides in field encounters, such a record obviously cannot reverse the adverse effects caused in the early stage.

This deep lack of self-confidence has directly affected the strategic formulation of the Principality of Moxi.

If it were replaced by a group of confident commanders, the Beamon cavalry would take military action as soon as they left.

Even if they don’t directly lead the defenders to fight out, they will arrange for troops to take the opportunity to rob the camp, instead of just sitting back and watching the situation change.

"If you have no other disagreements, then go ahead!

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, urge the alliance. The current situation, I always feel a little abnormal.

The immortal Emperor Bimon came to the front line in person, and tore apart two lines of defense as soon as he came up. The Alpha Kingdom is also in turmoil now.

The situation in the Warhammer Kingdom was even worse. Joseph II led an army of one million, but he couldn't do anything to an expeditionary army of orcs.

Even if their actual strength is only half of the declared strength, there are still 500,000 troops. With so many troops pinned down and unable to move, sooner or later there will be big problems.

Everyone knows the situation of the principality, if the enemy's siege of Dapas is not broken as soon as possible, the next thing is..."

When the words came to his lips, Prime Minister Herceg swallowed them back. The morale was not high at first, and it would be completely gone after a few more blows.

The pessimistic sentiment spread among the principality’s senior management. In addition to the deteriorating situation, it is also related to the changes in the principality’s senior management.

Lacking the backbone of the king, Prime Minister Herceg is not a strong minister. No matter what decision is made, everyone discusses and votes.

This way of handling is steady, but it always gives people a very reluctant feeling.

The Principality of Moxi urgently needs a big victory to stabilize the turbulent hearts in the country.

Resolving the siege of Dapace is not necessarily the best decision at the moment, but it must be the most effective choice in a short period of time.

…

Flying Bear's Castle, since the expeditionary force withdrew, it has been attacked by the bear court most violently.

Crossbow arrows, trebuchets, magic crystal cannons, and magic bullets flew all over the sky, and all the firepower greeted the defenders on the city wall.

It can be seen that the Xiongrenhuang is going to vent all the grievances he has suffered before on this castle.

This kind of aggressive attack, which spared no expense, brought great psychological pressure to the defenders from the very beginning.

The magic crystal cannon on the city wall kept ringing, and the bed crossbows and trebuchets kept firing downward, but the Flying Bear Castle was just a fortress after all.

Compared with the entire Royal Bear Court, all the firepower on the Moxi battlefield is still at a disadvantage.

After all, before the outbreak of the war, who would have thought that the royal court of the orcs would spend such a high price to storm a military fortress?

Even if the offensive is really going to be so fierce, it should be directed at Terence City, the hub of the defense line, rather than Flying Bear Castle, which has a second-class strategic position.

Under the pressure it shouldn't have, the ancient Flying Bear Castle wept in the flames of war.

Facing the overwhelming offensive of the orc army, if it weren't for being trapped in an isolated city with no way out, the defenders would have collapsed long ago.

But now this is just an appetizer, the real **** battle is after the city is broken.

"Boom, boom..."

A loud bang continued to come out, and after each explosion, a city wall would collapse.

"What's going on, why hasn't the enemy's city wall been torn apart?"

Xiong Renhuang, who was watching the battle, asked with a puzzled face.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has thickened the city walls. Even if we bury the magic bullets specially designed to break the city under the city walls, we cannot tear them apart at once!"

Perhaps seeing the ugly face of the Xiongren Emperor, the middle-aged officer hastily added: "However, even if the enemy thickens the city walls, they can't stop the heroic orc soldiers.

The collapsed city wall is a natural ladder, and soldiers can rush along the ruins to the enemy's city wall.

…”

While speaking, some orc soldiers charged forward along the ruins of the collapsed city wall.

It's a pity that the road that was blown out is not smooth, and it is difficult to walk normally, let alone charge.

Any delay on the battlefield will cost lives. The charging orc soldiers moved a little slower, and became the target of the archers.

This kind of sacrifice was not in vain. A large number of corpses of orc soldiers gradually filled up the ruins, and forcibly piled up a road with the life of beasts.

Seeing this scene, the Xiongrenhuang, who was overjoyed in his heart, hastily ordered: "Let the Xiongren heavy infantry step up, and tear the enemy's tortoise shell for me!"

The appearance of bear soldiers immediately attracted the attention of the generals defending the city.

Without waiting for the slightest hesitation, Raquel immediately ordered: "Pour the fire oil quickly, and light the fire immediately when the enemy comes up!"

From a second-generation dude to a general who defended the city, Raquel also had a hard time.

Originally made up his mind to act with the expeditionary force, holding Hudson's thigh in the melee.

However, the plan didn’t change quickly. I don’t know what’s wrong with my old man. He actually thought it was too dangerous to follow the expeditionary army to break the siege of Dapace, so he stayed in the Fort of Flying Bear to garrison.

Raquel doesn't know how risky the expeditionary army is on this trip, anyway, he has already felt the danger of stationing at the Fort of Flying Bear.

During the siege just now, at least thousands of orcs were killed in the army. With such a large number of casualties, there should be a pause.

But the Xiongrenhuang who commanded the entire army outside was obviously a bit superior, and directly ignored the casualties of the soldiers under his command.

Facing this kind of enemy who wants to forcibly take down the Fort of Flying Bear regardless of their own casualties is definitely not a good thing for the defenders.

Deep in his heart, Raquel couldn't help but greet his father, it was too embarrassing for his son.

The correct experience in the past does not mean that it will always apply.

It is dangerous to go out of the city to face the orc army head-on, but Flying Bear Castle, a fortress that symbolizes the shame of the orc royal court, may not be safe.

Adversity is the best way to make people grow. At any rate, they got along with Hudson, and Raquel also learned a lot of knowledge.

The current command, he is deploying according to the previous drill, to welcome the attack of the orc army.

Although it is a little more mechanical, Raquel has more reserves in his hands. Wherever there is a problem, troops will be sent to reinforce it.

Fighting for several days in a row, Flying Bear Castle was defended impeccably, and the orc army couldn't find a chance.

The blazing flames not only blocked the attacking footsteps of the orc army, but also took away dozens of Ursar heavy infantry who rushed up first.

Perhaps it was the failure of the previous siege, which exercised Xiong Renhuang's psychological endurance, and another failure did not cause his face to change.

"Your Majesty, we have wasted too much time in Flying Bear Castle. If we continue to delay, it may affect the next plan.

In case of any accidents on the front line due to this, it will be difficult for the allies to explain.

It is better to send a part of the army first to chase along the road ahead of the expeditionary army, which not only blocks their back road, but also fulfills the agreement with the allies. "

An elderly priest stepped forward to remind him.

As the most special group in the Orc Empire, priests not only take on the important task of offering sacrifices to the gods, but also play the role of wise men.

Facing some bear emperors above, others dare not persuade them, but the respected old priests are not afraid.

Hesitated for a moment, the Bear Emperor nodded and said: "Bruno, you have dealt with the expeditionary force and know them best. This task will be entrusted to you.

With the third and seventh legions as the core, plus two tauren legions, two leopard legions, two wild boar legions, and one centaur legion, a group army is formed.

I don’t care about anything else, this expeditionary force of the Alpha Kingdom must not let them run away. "

As the loser of the last war, according to normal circumstances, even if Bruno is not held accountable, he will be left idle. But in the army, in addition to record, loyalty is also very important.

Bruno suffered a big loss in the last battle, but he also indirectly saved the royal court of the bears, proving his loyalty.

For loyal subordinates, Xiongrenhuang has always been tolerant. Seeing that it happened for a reason, he decided to give Bruno Jun another chance.

Looking at the deployment of troops, you can tell that the newly formed army is definitely not that kind of garbage army. They are all orcs as well, and the internal combat power gap is also very large.

In this new group army, there are not only two main bear armies, but the rest of the major armies are also powerful races. At worst, they can be sent to the middle and upper reaches of the orc empire.

Maybe the combat effectiveness is not as good as the main army, but it also exceeds most of the cannon fodder army. On the battlefield, as long as you don't encounter the elite human army, it is also an existence that can kill the Quartet.

With such a strong capital, Xiong Renhuang had no choice but to. The shame can only be washed away with blood. If the expeditionary army is not killed, the stain on his body will always exist.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! This time, I will let the expeditionary army know that the dignity of our bear court cannot be lightly insulted! Let the Earl of Hudson die in remorse!"

Bruno confidently assured.

He was unconvinced by the loss last time, but now that he has such strong capital, there is no need to be afraid.

As for the great reputation of the expeditionary force in the orc empire, they were the ones who advertised it, and it couldn't be true at all.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Bruno would have laughed happily. Isn't it the credit for bringing these troops to cut off the retreat of the expeditionary army?

The only thing to worry about is the enemy running away.

But this is not a problem, as long as the expeditionary force escapes in a direction other than his responsibility, then it can be blamed on the allies.

You can't destroy the enemy, but you can also defeat the enemy. As long as he breaks the myth of the expeditionary army's invincibility, he is the hero of the bear clan.

Of course, deep down in his heart, Bruno still longed for a single blow to completely wipe out the expeditionary force led by Hudson and establish his status as a famous general in the Orc Empire.

Looking at his confident subordinates, Xiong Renhuang said with satisfaction: "It's good to have this kind of confidence!

Bruno, when you take Hudson's head, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you! "
