Chapter 828 Hikijaide Cave
"It's not easy. Of course, I'm afraid. Except for the blood cavalry led by Pedro, the others are just a group of mobs assembled together. They can't stand the impact of our army at all. Don't retreat now. What are you waiting for?"
Greg, the number one general under Hai Ridong's tent, said carelessly, "Old chief, your decisions have been too indecisive recently. If you ask me, you don't need to be so verbose at all. Pull out all the horses that can run, and draw your bow. The warriors were all pulled out and rushed down, trampling them to pieces long ago, and Pedro's 8,000 blood cavalry alone can't change the overall situation at all."
"Brainless guy." A young Odin orc next to Chief Hai Ridong curled his lips in disdain, expressing his disdain for Greg's remarks just now.
This kind of disdain immediately aroused Chief Greg's dissatisfaction, and he glared, "Terrence, what did you say? Say it again if you have the ability!"
"Brains are a good thing, but you don't have one." The young man named Terrence was fearless, "The Byron Alliance is not the Odin Prairie, and the Byrons are not the Odin Orcs. They are just a group of moles. What I like most is to dig holes and build nests, and build stone fortresses everywhere. The more people there are, the bigger and denser the fortresses are.
Even if you cross them, what's the use? After hitting those fortresses, can you still deal with the broken line of defense? Can we let our warriors dismount from their horses and eat them regardless of life and death?
What should we do when we reach the critical moment and the Byron army we pass by attacks us from behind?
The easiest way to deal with them is to wipe out their largest resistance army cleanly, so that they can't see any hope of resistance. The brave Byrons might take advantage of our powerful force, obediently open the city gate and let us in. "
"Don't show off the theory you learned from books in front of me. Before I saw it with my own eyes, it was all a bunch of bullshit." Chief Greg also curled his lips in disdain, "You tell me , why did they retreat?"
"They did this more like to show their attitude, let us get out of the way, let us not fight them, and join the main force of His Majesty Ulan Bage to attack the Lancelot royal family's defense line in the west." Tai Lun Si had an expression of wisdom in his hands.
"Aren't you saying that they are timid to fight?" Greg looked contemptuous, as if to say, what is the difference between what you say now and what I just said, "We should go south in a big way now, and take advantage of their unsteady foothold." When the time comes, smash them completely."
"Cowardice has always been what you said, not me. Maybe the other party did this to cause us to have such a misunderstanding, and went to attack them recklessly." Terrence changed the subject again.
"Inducing us to take the initiative to fight?" Greg frowned into a pimple. "Your own statement is contradictory. The other party's obviously cowardly move turned into luring us to take the initiative to attack them?"
"There is a tactic called showing the enemy weakness. I think you have never heard of this term. It means to make a posture that makes the enemy mistakenly think that you are weak, to confuse and confuse the enemy, and make the enemy make a wrong judgment. , so as to make a wrong decision, the princess of the Byron Alliance is very likely to use this kind of tactics, it seems that he wants us to make a judgment to support His Majesty Ulan Baz, the actual purpose is to lure us to take the initiative Attack and attack their camp." Terrence explained patiently.
"What's the mess? What is the basis for your judgment? Why would they do this? Are there people so stupid that they can't take the initiative to cause trouble on themselves?" Chief Greg was impatient, and he, known for his bravery, , not a smart person, obviously a little weak for this kind of roundabout calculation, the other party explained, not only did not make him understand better, but became more confused.
"There are many bases for judging. If you carefully study the history of the Byron Alliance in the past twenty years, you will know that the enemy we are facing now, Princess Sophie Liya, is not such a weak person. At least she will not retreat before fighting, especially She has been the regent for so many years, and she has deep feelings for the Lancelot royal family, how could she do such an act of defrauding her own relatives, once she did so, there must be a reason for it." Terrence did not explain it to Greg, Rather, it was an explanation to Chief Hai Ridong who showed a listening expression.
Terrence paused for a moment, whetted his appetite, and then continued: "As for the reason why they took the initiative to lure us to attack them, the Byrons are good at defense but not good at attack. Compared with fighting in the wilderness, luring us to attack their camp, They are more dominant, and don't forget that they also hold a lethal weapon like black powder in their hands, which is more lethal in defense."
"If it's according to your opinion, we can only give up attacking them now, and instead support that bastard in Ulan Bari who likes to cross rivers and destroy bridges? If we do this, I bet that bastard will definitely treat us as cannon fodder and send us to At the front, the task with the highest death rate and the least oily water is carried out, and all the results we have achieved will only fulfill him." Greg said that Ulan Bari was full of resentment.
It's not that he has any enmity with the Japanese in Ulan Ba, but he has had a long-standing personal grievance with Erile and Ke under his tent.
Not only did the tribes of the two have a lot of overlap and disputes in pastoral areas, but they also competed for the title of the number one warrior of the Theodin Empire for an unknown number of years.
Greg has been subservient to Erileheke, and has been Wannian's second child for many years.
As the saying goes, the world's highest peak is well known to everyone, but the second highest peak is rarely known.
Orilheke is well-known in the Xiodin Empire, but very few people know him, Greg.
When there was a dispute between the two and the tribe they belonged to, Ulan Bari would naturally stand on the side of Erile and Ke who had been with him for many years. Over time, it naturally aroused serious dissatisfaction with Chief Greg His rule was called into question.
Terrence did not directly answer Greg's question, but carefully glanced at Chief Hairidong, and found that the object of his allegiance had a gloomy expression, but a clear dislike flashed in the depths of his eyes. When the words came to my mouth, there was a slight change and inclination immediately, "You can't say that, there is no absolute in everything, especially when we have already noticed the other party's plan.
We can adapt to the situation according to the actual situation. After all, the initiative to attack is in our hands, and we have the final say on how to fight. The only thing that is more passive is that we have limited food now. To download as soon as possible, can not delay too long. "
"I let you say all the good and bad things by yourself. After going around for a long time, you didn't come up with any substantive opinions. Should we go south? Or go west? Fight? Or shake hands and make peace?" Chief Greg said with a full face. Even after experiencing so much, he no longer likes the way the other party talks in a twist and turn.
"I don't want these empty analyses, I want a practical plan, Terrence, how do you think we should fight the next battle?" Chief Hai Ridong asked Ce in a slow and deep voice, and there was also something in it. A trace of impatience.
"Since the opponent is showing weakness, let's use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, make a gesture of preparing for a large-scale westward advance, and see how the opponent reacts, and see if my judgment is correct. If I His judgment is correct, and it doesn't matter if we take the opportunity to attack the Byrons' western defense line from the side. If His Majesty Ulan Baz can break through, it will be harmful and not beneficial to us.
If my judgment is wrong and the opponent is really weak, we will kill another carbine and uproot them, and the entire East of Byron will be at our disposal.
In a word, we don’t want the other party to get what they want. We try our best to avoid attacking the camp that the other party has prepared, try our best to lure and force the other party to fight with us, and eat up their new force bit by bit. When they have no soldiers to dispatch, it will also be our time of victory. "Terrence threw out his thoughts completely.
Chief Hai Ridong showed a satisfied smile and said: "It seems that you have read the books for so many years, and the things you think of are indeed more comprehensive than we thought. Let's test them according to the method you said."
On the side of Sophilia, she showed the enemy's weakness, while Chief Hai Ridong tried to lure the snake out of the hole.
On the side of Sophilia, she used tactics to deal with it, while Chief Hai Ridong avoided the truth and played falsehood.
In both camps, there are smart people who are proficient in strategy and tactics one by one. Before the army moves, they have already analyzed the character of the opposing coach very thoroughly.
Once the other party takes actions that are contrary to their own character and main interests, they will be careful and careful, and try again and again.
After two rounds of confrontation, both sides realized this, and when they acted, they were naturally more cautious and cautious, so as not to let their own army come out easily.
It ended up being a very odd situation.
The main forces of both sides are standing still.
One camped under the Duanmai defense line.
One set up a big camp 60 kilometers away.
However, the cavalry of both sides fought like a raging fire on the 60 kilometers of land in the middle, constantly piercing, probing, and intercepting.
The scene of you chasing after me is really too common.
Not to mention the same troop strength, even with double or even three times their own troop strength, the Broken Blood Cavalry still possesses it.
They themselves have the best collective force in the world, and now they have added the new weapons that the leaders of the Eternal Night Army continue to use, such as the more portable black powder grenade, which makes them even more powerful, and can easily kill the Odin orcs. The cavalry were scattered.
But they have a huge flaw that cannot be concealed, that is, they are scarce in number.
The right army under the command of Chief Hai Ridong has more than 200,000 soldiers, and most of them can fight on horseback. Even if they take out a quarter, it is four or five times that of the blood cavalry right army.
Therefore, most of the time, the blood cavalry right army is still at a disadvantage.
With the main force of both sides not moving, it is very difficult to fight a total annihilation battle with cavalry alone in the field, especially when the generals on both sides are veterans with rich combat experience, it is even more difficult.
During the long-term entanglement between the two sides, although there was damage to each other, the impact on the main force was not too great.
If both sides have sufficient food and grass, it is normal for this battle to continue to be fought for a year or so.
Unfortunately, on this point, the two sides are not equal.
On Sophilia's side, there is an interest community of the Eternal Night Army Commander, the Princess Fiefdom, and the Countess of Angelberina. As a support, a steady stream of troops is brought in every day, and a large amount of military and civilian supplies are transported up.
Even their camps look different every day.
One more wooden wall today, one more ditch tomorrow, one more horse pit the day after tomorrow, and a few more defense equipment the day after tomorrow.
The speed of construction is astounding.
There is no doubt that this is naturally the handwriting of Yong Ye's army leader.
When it comes to building infrastructure, their military leader ranks second, and no one on the Asharn mainland dares to be the first.
This is still the normal speed at which they did not bring up the purple worm, an infrastructure artifact in the territory. If they catch it and delay it for a month or two, Chief Hai Ridong and the others may face a fortified city.
It can be seen from this that the Theodin Empire's southward invasion did not put so much pressure on the Yongye army leader, at least not to the extent that they used all their means.
On the side of the Theodin Empire, it is standard to sit and eat.
They themselves launched this southward invasion just now because of the food shortage.
Although there are a large number of soldiers in the rear, they are running around, searching for food, cattle and sheep from those Odin orcs who did not participate in the battle, and supporting the front line.
But as time went by, less and less food, cattle and sheep were sent, and more and more Odin orcs were driven.
There is no way, years of drought have caused all the Odin orcs to fall into a trough.
Winter is coming soon, and it is unknown whether we can survive this winter with the few supplies on hand.
Now the vicious Odin orc soldiers forcibly confiscated all the food in their hands. If they stayed where they were, they would only die.
In order to survive.
Following these Odin orc soldiers who collected food and went south together, they might be able to find a way to survive in the Byron Alliance and survive the most difficult time.
This situation sounds like a good thing at first glance, making the Odin orcs stronger.
In fact, this is not the case at all.
The Odin orcs were so strong that they responded to their call to join them when they raised their troops in Ulan Bari and went south on a large scale.
These Odin orcs who came after that, only a small part of them are strong and strong, mainly women and children, the old and the weak, and the sick and disabled. Not to mention opening strong bows and riding strong horses, many of them have nothing but a mouth. up.
