Chapter 914: Destroying the City in Half a Day
Chapter 914 Destroying the City in Half a Day
In this world, military formation is not a profound knowledge, and anyone can learn it as long as they are literate.
However, the effect of military formation cannot be created by one person. In addition to generals with corresponding knowledge, elite soldiers who can order and prohibit are also needed.
The fact that demi-humans are not good at military formations is not related to their race, but because most of the demi-humans live in a difficult environment. Tribes do not have the extra resources to support professional warriors who are not engaged in production. Forced formation of formations will only lead to greater chaos. Therefore, Only then would they be defeated steadily by the elite human warriors every time there was a war.
Because of this, Luo Jie has attached great importance to the training of battle formations since he took over the Headhunting Rabbit Tribe.
Having followed the same method and evacuated the burial objects from the imperial mausoleum, he had no shortage of money and materials to support the professional soldiers. He arbitrarily pulled out a group of people from the three tribes of Headhunter Rabbit, Harpy and Winged Man with a total population of only 50,000. A professional army of 10,000 people, armed to the teeth with all kinds of sophisticated equipment.
Due to the early mobilization of the war, the troops under his command were assembled very quickly. In just three days, the demihuman coalition army consisting of 10,000 regular troops and 30,000 warriors from the affiliated demihuman tribes arrived in a mighty manner. The northern frontier of the empire.
The strongest man on the surface, "Peter Greer", died in battle, and the news that the five hundred elite members of the Yagbachi Guild were almost wiped out came from the mouths of a few survivors who were lucky enough to escape, and soon the news spread in this largest city. spread in the northern border cities.
The city guard did not dare to slack off, and immediately imposed a martial law on the city to tighten precautions and sent emergency military information to the imperial capital, hoping that the nearby troops could provide reinforcements.
The imperial capital quickly responded via magic transmission. Apart from an extremely official request to strengthen the defense, there was no mention of a request for reinforcements.
Ever since he saw the army of adventurers who were attacking the demi-human puppet country coming out of the border, the city guard already understood that the empire had no troops to mobilize.
In addition to the 20,000 border troops originally stationed here, the only new force that can be mobilized at the moment is the more than 4,000 adventurers from the Yagbach Warrior Guild who have retreated from outside the pass.
Forty thousand versus twenty-four thousand, if the defensive advantage brought by the city is taken into account, the strength comparison between the two sides is not as disparate as imagined.
If he didn't go out to fight and just defended the city, the defender would still be confident that he could last a year and a half.
The biggest problem for the demihuman tribe to go on an expedition is the difficulty of supply. As long as the opponent's food and grass can be exhausted, the demihuman coalition will naturally collapse without a fight.
However, the battle on the first day completely shattered the defender's illusions.
On the day the war started, dozens of bolides fell from the sky, accurately bombarding military camps, stables, equipment depots and other important military locations. Before the enemy could see them, the entire city's defenders were already in chaos.
Finally, they were able to withstand the terrifying strategic magic that was fired every few minutes until the arrival of the demihuman coalition. As soon as the guard led the team to the top of the city, the entire city gate and the dozens of meters long walls on both sides were fired with full power. The version of [Explosive Jade·Raging Sun Flame Spear] was sent to the sky.
The general died before he left the army. The deputy general immediately led the reserve team to climb up through the breach in the city wall. However, as soon as he repelled the attack of a wave of demi-human soldiers, he was caught by a terrifying beautiful girl with animal ears wielding a 40-meter light. The big sword killed one's own army and penetrated it.
What's even more frightening is that not only is the ground battlefield completely suppressed, but there are Hobbits and Winged Warriors flying everywhere in the sky.
These flying demi-humans didn't even need to use any regular weapons. They just threw rocks from above and suppressed the Imperial soldiers so that they couldn't show their heads. The spearmen and archers without the protection of shields and heavy armor suffered even more casualties. heavy.
The established resistance only lasted less than half an hour, and the imperial frontier troops in the city completely collapsed. A large number of soldiers who had lost their will to fight dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Only a few soldiers were still relying on the complex terrain in the city. A fierce street battle began with the demi-human coalition.
However, without the bonus of the military formation effect, these human soldiers were no match for the demi-human warriors who fought with ferocious beasts all day long. This wave of resistance was soon drowned in the torrent of demi-human coalition forces entering the city.
In just half a day, the northern border of the empire was breached!
…
The news that the Snowfield demihuman coalition had breached the borders of the empire spread like wings throughout the entire empire and neighboring vassal states in just a few days.
The Imperial Capital could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately declared the "country of demi-humans" to be rebellious, and would launch an army to conquer it at a certain date.
Although the edict is high-sounding, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is just a delaying tactic for the people at the bottom and the vassal states.
All the elite troops of the empire are currently hoarded in the "Arnus Hill" area, wary of the actions of those men in green from other worlds. It is really impossible to allocate troops to control the rebellion in the northern snowfield.
There are even some well-informed people who have received the exact news from inside the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor has planned to trade space for time. He will first shrink his troops and abandon the north, and then wait for an armistice agreement to be negotiated with the men in green before sending out troops. Go north to retake lost territory.
Well, strategically there is no problem.
But with the empire's current military strength, which is less than one-fifth of what it was at its peak, and the terrifying combat effectiveness of the northern Asian rebels who destroyed the city in half a day, not many people are optimistic about this plan that just looks beautiful.
There is no doubt that the "subhuman country" in the north has become a climate.
There has never been a shortage of speculators in this world. When it was confirmed that the empire was no longer able to punish the new "demi-human country", many people's minds began to get excited.
Especially the majority of them are Asians.
The empire has been discriminating and oppressing the demi-human race for hundreds of years, and there has been enough anger at the bottom of society. Now someone is taking the lead to raise the banner of resistance to the empire, and the country established by the demi-human race is immediately ignited like a spark igniting a prairie fire. The fire in the hearts of countless demihuman youths.
In addition to those demi-humans who came to the northern border as individuals or as a family unit to join the army, there were also many demi-human clan leaders who came with their entire tribes to gamble on their future.
The largest of them is a pig-headed tribe from the west of the empire with nearly 200,000 people. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net
Pig-headed people are the most numerous demi-human race on the continent. Their combat effectiveness is extremely mediocre, even lower than that of humans. However, their reproductive capabilities are extremely amazing. They have always been the best source of coolies and cannon fodder in the empire-military.
Luo Jie naturally welcomed the surrender of such a tribe with a huge population, but the leader of the pig-headed man with a mouth full of fangs made a request.
——At least she must marry one of his daughters as a queen before she is willing to bring the entire tribe to submit to his demihuman country.
Of course, if Luo Jie was willing to marry all his daughters, he would welcome it.
Seeing the pig-headed clan leader who looked like a pig with a hyena in the Dark Journey to the West version, he pulled out more than twenty fat little pigs one by one and called him... Oh no, it was just a passing glance. Luo Jie only felt that he His stomach was churning.
Damn it! Sure enough, there will be consequences if you do too many orthographic marriages...
