Chapter 1503 The Counterattack of the Demon Coalition
When three days have passed and the advancing human legion finally finds traces of demons and orcs, what should it look like?
The two parties hugged each other and cried, saying: 'Brother, I finally found you. 'is that so?
Or are the demons and orcs panicking when they see the overwhelming power of humans, and turn around and run away?
Or are you looking at the high-walled and fortified city built by demons and orcs in this year and sighing with excitement?
The correct answer is: The tide-like army of Orcs occupied the entire field of vision, charging towards the queue of the human coalition in waves!
At the same time, the urgent information sent back to the general by the Sentinel Cavalry was that both the way in and the way forward were cut off by demons.
Double-teaming from the front and back, attacking from the flanks, there seems to be another direction to escape. However, it is this kind of thinking that puts this human army into an irreversible situation.
The situation of this legion was not unique. Several legions on the southern front that broke into the demon-occupied areas all faced the same situation, without exception. These troops that penetrated deep into the demon-occupied areas and were surrounded accounted for more than one-third of the Southern Route Army's strength.
Relying on the convenience of the forum, the coalition command knew immediately that the forward army was ambushed.
But we only know one situation. The specific arrangement and strength of the demon and orc alliance, these vital information are still unknown. This leaves the people at the coalition command facing a choice: should they be rescued, or should the undefended legions strengthen their defense?
They also noticed that the Eastern and Western Route armies that launched attacks at the same time did not suffer ambushes of the same scale. It's as if the demon coalition only targets the Southern Route Army.
In fact, not only did the East and West armies not encounter ambushes, they also fought a series of victorious battles.
The forwards of the east and west armies were tribes transferred by the Great Khan. Whether they are committing meritorious deeds or fighting for more say, it shows that these two forwards will play very hard and hard. And so it is.
Since the forwards of the east and west routes broke into the area occupied by demons, they encountered many overrun camps set up by orcs.
Even though they were mainly light-armored horse archers, it was not difficult to deal with these crooked wooden fences. A single kick from the horse would create a gap. If there are too many kicking horses, the entire wall will be demolished.
Once the wall fell down, the group of orcs who could only escape on two legs had no way of surviving.
Just demolish and kill them all the way. To report it to the superiors is to attack the city and conquer the fortress. The merit book is filled with pages and pages.
So don't expect that the East and West Route Army will encounter battles. One is to take advantage of the light cavalry, and the other is that they are not as cautious as the South Route Army. During these three days, the advancement speed of the east and west armies was much faster than that of the south armies.
The three-party offensive turned out to be such a paradoxical situation.
The southern road fell to several legions in one fell swoop and was surrounded by a coalition of demons and orcs. The situation is extremely dangerous. The rear is also in a dilemma as to whether to save or not to save.
The east and west roads sang triumphant songs and everything was smooth. But one strange thing is that the main force of the Khan Kings in the East and West realms did not keep up. Not to mention taking the opportunity to expand the results, even the support of the forward army is getting weaker and weaker. It just doesn't show up for a while.
Although the nomadic army is very good at providing food to the enemy, it still needs to have food to grab.
Orcs, if nothing else, have the best digestive system among all Homo sapiens races. As long as their mouths can move, they can eat it and convert it into the energy and nutrients their bodies need!
So it is conceivable that the demons do not have a rigid need for food, and the orcs can eat anything. How much food can be eaten by humans in the territories run by the two? Even if you want to kill people to eat meat, you have to eat the meat of a two-legged sheep!
Demons, creatures of the abyss. Ordinary people who dare to eat demons must have the consciousness to mutate themselves. The greater possibility is that it was directly invaded by the breath of the abyss and turned into a monster without self-awareness.
Orcs. As mentioned earlier, they can eat anything and their digestive systems are extremely powerful. As a price, each of them is like a walking source of bacteria and viruses. If you stay with orcs for a long time, you will contract diseases. This is not discrimination! But it’s a fact!
Such characteristics make orcs, a very strong race, have a terrifyingly short average lifespan. And when you are healthy, you have nothing to say; once you get sick, you are usually left to wait for death.
However, these flaws and characteristics are not the factors that caused this seemingly incredible situation.
The tribes sent to support by the Great Khan were intoxicated with the dream of winning streak, so they couldn't understand. But the kings of the two realms have been in intrigues and intrigues all their lives and stayed out of it. How could they not see the weirdness in this?
Therefore, the two Khans unanimously chose a prudent and self-protective attitude, retaining their most trusted troops and only using seconded troops or those who were not valued in the first place.
Therefore, the situation at hand became that although the east and west routes were going smoothly, the main force did not move, allowing the forwards to continue to penetrate into the enemy camp. The southern route was surrounded by less than half of the troops, and they were indecisive.
Although we don’t know the specific arrangements of the alliance between demons and orcs, it seems like the other side has given up on defending the east and west routes and is focusing all its efforts on attacking the south route.
This kind of situation judgment can be imagined by anyone who is interested in paying attention to the news flying all over the forum, let alone the commander or headquarters responsible for the three-way front.
The best way is to increase the intensity of the attack from the east and west, hit the gate of the abyss in one go, and close it. So no matter how well the demon coalition fights on the southern road, they are like rootless trees and sourceless water, and will eventually be wiped out by the human side.
However, what is best for the overall situation may not be best for everyone.
At least from the standpoint of the Khans of the eastern and western borders of the Suri Tang Empire, they would hope that the multinational coalition forces on the southern route would assume more responsibilities and lure the main force of the demon and orc coalition forces farther away. This way, they will have greater certainty and more time to close the damn door.
Besides, the forward troops on the east and west routes were able to move forward unimpeded. It seemed that the demon coalition had given up on defending in these two directions. But is it really so? Is there no trap behind it?
Wait for the two forwards to force out the trap hidden by the Demon Alliance, allowing the Abyss side to completely expose their trump card. This is the best time for the Khan Kings of the two realms to use their respective main forces to make a final decision.
To be fair, the two Khans of the Suli Tang Empire only wanted to do the most certain thing and fight a war with a guaranteed chance of victory. But they have not thought about what price they will pay for it.
】
In other words, as the arrogance of the imperial Khans, they believed that everyone would be honored for their sacrifice, as long as they could achieve the ultimate great cause. It is only natural that they stand on the side that wins in the end.
Besides, what does the dead people have to do with them? They are neither from the same tribe nor from the same country. No matter how many people die, the two Khan kings will not feel sad.
In fact, it is not wrong for some people to think so. From a personal standpoint, everyone has the right to choose the path of pursuing good fortune and avoiding disaster, and everyone will make the decision that is best for themselves. That's why the word 'sacrifice' becomes a virtue in others' mouths.
However, few people realize that sacrifice is a virtue, but it is not an excuse to ask others to perform this virtue, or that it is a matter of course for others to perform this virtue.
They would not have any sense of honor or mission if they were on the side that was sacrificed. Some are just endless fear, and give the most vicious curses to those big people who give up on them.
Most of Ezio and his friends did not join the first wave of legions that attacked the demon-occupied areas. Because they arrived late, most of the legions in the first wave of attack sequences had already been organized and had entered into training early, and there was no need for Ezio and other latecomers to supplement them.
There are only a few unlucky ones, because the members of the originally established legion were too excited during training and retired due to injuries, and these people all have relatively special responsibilities. It is easier for elites who come from primary schools to find replacement talents, and therefore they enter the first wave of attacking legions.
Many of these people have no news at all. When Ezio and other Brotherhood members received news about their attack from the private block on the forum, it was already night, and the forward army was already in a state of rout. The brothers in the fraternity still took the time to post a brief message on the forum, and then they were back in danger of running away.
The Southern Route Army's forward corps collapsed faster than anyone imagined. Because every legion faces the cruel fate of being surrounded and attacked by two to three hostile legions.
For the soldiers who were deeply surrounded, almost immediately when they found themselves surrounded by a large number of enemies, the morale of the team dropped to the sky. Everyone has only one thought left, that is how to escape. The gap in the net is the only way to survive.
Almost no team can launch a defensive counterattack. Even if a few teams or two try to make such an effort, they will be scattered by their own people.
Among the legions in the first wave of attack sequence, there are also heroes who can boost morale. But such a person cannot withstand the sniper attack of a group of big demons.
The entire southern front, the legionnaires in the second and third wave of attacks, and the people in the headquarters were all caught in a strange atmosphere.
Everyone knows that the forward army is finished, and even if someone can escape, they will not survive in the end. But no one dared to say "give up and save". It seems that as soon as you say it, you will lose something.
Even though Ezio felt sorry for his companions, he was still powerless. He did not have the ability to accurately locate his companions, so even if he could leave the team to rescue them, he would not be able to rescue them.
The opponent is on the run, and it is impossible for him to report back the terrain and features he can see all the time. Is there really someone who posts on forums and says where he is free and why he should run a few more steps?
Although he was helpless, Ezio knew that there was something he had to say. If no one wants to talk about it, let him start it. Because if some things are not done, there will be more serious consequences later.
He approached the general of his regiment. This general was a noble from a small country south of the Suri Tang Empire, and was related to the king. He has enough strength and popularity, so he has the conditions to be easily persuaded by Ezio:
"General! It's time to make a decision early. Your kingdom and your family are behind you, and now the entire front does not look like it can defend the demon coalition and attack with all its strength. I don't want them to become orcs. If there is food or seedbeds, arrange for their escape. Then we must reorganize the defense line, block the demon attack, and catch up with the retreating people as much as possible. We can't do more."
