MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 623 : This is... the war you want!
"Ah..." The guard in the valley yawned and was kicked by the captain.
"Be vigilant!" The captain scolded with a cold face.
"Oh, captain, it's okay. The orcs are scared by us. Moreover, this valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even a hundred thousand troops can't get in. There's no need to be so serious." The guard smiled disapprovingly.
"Hmph, you have to put on a show, if His Majesty patrols on a whim and sees you in a sloppy manner, we will both be finished!" Although the words were good, the captain still felt a little disapproving.
In the past few months, they have attacked the Red Scorpion Khanate, which can be described as overwhelming. How dare the orcs dare to take the initiative to attack.
Moreover, this valley is not only hidden, but the terrain is also extremely dangerous. Although the defenders only have a few thousand people, even if the orc army attacks, they will definitely be able to hold out until their army returns to help.
So, nothing to worry about at all.
"Huh? What is that flying in the sky, an eagle?" Looking at the little flying dot in the sky, the guard was a little puzzled.
The number seems to be a bit too much, there are more than one hundred, the eagles should not act in groups, right? Could it be a vulture, but there are no dead people fighting nearby?
"Let me take a look." The captain took out the binoculars suspiciously. Although the magnification is not high, it is enough to see the situation of those small flying spots.
Every little flying point is a huge goshawk, and there is an orc lying on its back.
"No, enemy attack!" The captain blew his whistle in horror, this is the goshawk warrior of the orcs!
And not only these people, thousands of orc wolf cavalry on the ground also entered the view of the valley guards.
All of a sudden, the defenders in the valley were in chaos. No one thought that the orcs would actually dare to surprise their base camp.
"Quick, quick, the Griffin Knight is flying into the air!" Gerald, the leader of the King's Sword Knights, quickly let the Griffin Knight rise into the air to meet the enemy.
The goshawk warriors of the orcs have always been elite with one enemy against a hundred. If these more than a hundred goshawks are allowed to break into the valley, the dangerous terrain of the valley will be meaningless.
The Griffin Knights gradually rose into the air to meet the enemy, but they were completely unprepared in panic, and their numbers were less than half of the Goshawk Warriors.
Soon, the corpses of griffins or riders continued to fall, and many goshawk warriors rushed into the valley, making a mess of the valley defenders.
The orc wolf cavalry also took this opportunity to successfully attack the valley. The ferocious wolf and the ferocious orc quickly divided the defenders.
In the valley, the orcs completely suppressed the human defenders, fighting everywhere.
Under the protection of the elite knights, Jonah broke out of the valley, looking at the base camp caught in a fight, he couldn't help but feel sad.
The arrangement of the orcs is not that simple.
After the fall of the base camp, the army on their side will be in a state of confusion, and they don't know what kind of situation the army in front will fall into?
If the entire army of 200,000 is wiped out, the Red Scorpion Khanate will take the opportunity to attack the Silver Moon Kingdom.
At that time, the Silver Moon Kingdom is in danger of subjugation!
If the troops could have been withdrawn a few days ago...
The more Jonah thought about it, the more angry he became. This war shouldn't have happened in the first place, **** the northern lord! There is no peace of the Holy Empire!
War has never been a lucrative business, it has only two possibilities, either lose everything, or lose both.
Winner takes all is very, very rare probability.
Now, the Silver Moon Kingdom will be the one that loses everything, and then the winner takes it all.
Bunch of idiots, this is the war you want!
"That's it!"
Several goshawks descended, blocking Jona's way out of the siege, and then the chasing wolf cavalry also blocked the back road, Battelle stood on the goshawk's back and sneered.
King Yinyue was captured by him.
"Kill!" Yona, who had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, looked around desolately, then drew out his long sword, and rushed towards the enemy together with the knights.
As the king of humans, he won't just surrender like this!
…
Marquis Sissoko, who commanded the right army, wiped out the orc tribe all the way, and Earl Greta, who commanded the left army, and Sir Aemon, who commanded the central army, invaded the hinterland of the Red Scorpion Khanate.
"Why do I feel uneasy?" Marquis Sissoko murmured in the temporary camp.
This road call must have been too smooth, right? There was not even a decent resistance, and the orc tribe that was flattened all the way was full of old, weak, sick and disabled.
Even Marquis Sissoko, who has always been the main combat faction, felt uneasy at this moment.
Perhaps, some time ago, they should have followed the king's advice to withdraw their troops.
"Father, you must be worrying too much!" The eldest son Norwood comforted him. The victories in the past six months have completely dazzled him.
Orcs...that's what happened, they are not as fierce as recorded at all, I really don't know, how did those ancestors in the past have nothing to do with them?
If he had been born thousands of years earlier, he would have wiped out all the orc nations long ago and ruled the mainland!
"No, it's better to be more cautious." Marquis Sissoko said helplessly. The recent victory really made everyone look down on the orcs.
Fighting against humans for thousands of years, and making humans helpless, the orcs will never be so simple.
"Master Marquis, a tribe of orcs is found ahead!" A messenger came to report.
"Well, I see, let the army go out and wipe out this orc tribe." Marquis Sissoko immediately entered the command state.
Successive victories, and the wealth collected from the orc tribes also made all soldiers and officers earn a lot of money.
If we say that at the very beginning of the war, the nobles sought military exploits, titles and fiefdoms, then now, they are feeding the appetites of these soldiers.
Withdrawing the troops at this time, not only the nobles would object, but even the soldiers would be dissatisfied, and in serious cases, they might even mutiny.
The situation of the war is out of control.
Therefore, even if he felt uneasy in his heart, he had to bite the bullet and fight on.
Before the army marched to the orc tribe, relying on the simple fortifications of the tribe camp, the orcs in the camp had already prepared themselves.
With the desire for wealth, the human soldiers launched an attack excitedly.
"Father, it seems that another piece of military merit has been paid for." Looking at the simple fortifications of the orc camp and the few soldiers in the camp, Norwood smiled calmly.
"Well, I hope so!" Marquis Sissoko replied casually.
Finally, after a brief resistance, human soldiers broke into the orc camp and killed all the orcs in the camp, including the old and weak, women and children, and completely wiped out the tribe.
By the way, the camp was also looted, and the soldiers and officers laughed happily because their pockets were full.
"Clean up the camp and set up camp here today." Entering the camp, Marquis Sissoko ordered.
"Yes!" The officer under his command ordered the soldiers to clean up the camp.
At this moment, a scout covered in blood ran over and reported in a panic: "Master Marquis! Sir Marquis! We found an army of orcs in the east, numbering 50,000!"
"Well... I see." Marquis Sissoko didn't feel scared, because his army along the way had a total of 80,000 people, and he still had an advantage in numbers.
And judging from the performance of the orc soldiers during this period of time, they were just a group of soft-legged shrimps, which were not worth mentioning at all.
But suddenly, the soldiers in charge of security shouted out in panic.
"An army of orcs is found in the west, and the number is unknown!"
"An army of orcs is found in the north!"
"The south side too!"
In an instant, everyone froze, and they were surrounded!
Marquis Sissoko's throat was dry, and his lips trembled as he asked, "How much rations do we have?"
The quartermaster replied with a pale face: "It's about half a month away."
"That's okay, strengthen the camp and stand by for help!" Marquis Sissoko breathed a sigh of relief, and began to direct everyone to build fortifications relying on this orc camp.
There is no news for half a month, and the valley base camp will definitely find something abnormal.
As long as the other two armies come to help, they will be able to break out of the encirclement with a joint attack from both inside and outside.
…
The army on the left was led by Earl Greta. At this moment, he asked with a serious face: "Why hasn't the army rations been delivered yet, have you contacted the camp?"
"No, Lord Earl." The quartermaster shook his head.
This time when the Silver Moon Kingdom conquered the Red Scorpion Khanate, most of the military supplies were recruited from within the country, transported by the Second Legion in the Buluo Fortress to the Valley Headquarters for storage, and then transferred from the Valley Headquarters to the three-way army.
Now, their army on the left is about to run out of food, but they have not seen the supplies of the camp for a long time.
"Damn, what's going on, can the ration last until we withdraw to the base camp?" Earl Greta asked through gritted teeth.
"If you reduce the daily share per person, you can still survive." The quartermaster quickly gave the answer.
"Then reduce the share, immediately transfer the army, and withdraw to the valley base camp." Earl Greta made the best choice at the moment.
Sir Aemon, who commanded the army in the middle, also made the same choice almost at the same time.
Without rations, no matter how powerful the army is, it will lose all its combat power, and they must retreat to replenish.
The orc scouts who were secretly watching from the side sneered a few times when they saw this, retreat, and when your rations are completely exhausted, you will find that you will no longer have any supplies.
The valley base camp where the military supplies are stored has long been theirs!
…
On the 15th, Marquis Sissoko, who stood still, could not wait for reinforcements.
And during these fifteen days, the orcs have not launched an attack, as if deliberately wasting time with them.
Looking at the hungry soldiers, Marquis Sissoko closed his eyes in pain. He didn't want to think about what happened to the camp and other armies.
But now, he had to make a choice!
Is it to break through desperately while still having the strength to fight? Or continue to stick to it? Waiting for ethereal reinforcements.
"Give all the remaining rations to the soldiers, and tell them that this is the last meal. Either break out! Or be trapped here!"
Marquis Sissoko finally chose to break out of the siege, he was unwilling to entrust his fate in the hands of others.
But when the army that was about to fight to the death walked out of the camp, it was sad to find that the orc army that besieged them did not fight them at all.
When they moved forward, the orc army stepped back, and surrounded them all the time without fighting.
The old Khan was in the army of orcs, watching all this with cold eyes.
Who said that the battle with real swords and guns can win the war, as long as the intelligence information is asymmetric, he can easily defeat the human army.
The main camp was taken, and the army of the Silver Moon Kingdom lost all their supplies, and couldn't even retreat.
And in order to prevent the human army from going crazy and dispersing to attack the orc tribe, the old Khan also hid the news that the camp was breached, leaving them a glimmer of hope.
However, which force is providing them with information?
After three days and three nights, when the army was too hungry to walk or take up weapons, Marquis Sissoko finally waited for the orcs to attack.
Almost effortlessly, the orc army slaughtered the 80,000 human army like slaughtering young children.
In the end, only nobles who still had food supplies could take up arms and resist.
Looking at the dense army of orcs around him, and the countless corpses of human soldiers on the ground, Marquis Hisokho, covered in blood, felt grief and indignation, and shouted to the sky: "Your Majesty! I was wrong, I was really wrong, we There should be no war!"
After finishing speaking, the sad and indignant Marquis Sissoko drew his sword and killed himself, and the orc army rushed in like a tide, beheading the last dozens of human nobles on the spot.
Until his death, Norwood, the eldest son of Marquis Hisokko, still had a blank brain. Why did the orcs who had no power to resist suddenly become so ferocious?
…
When the hungry army on the left was about to arrive at the valley base camp, they met the equally hungry army in the middle.
The two sides joined forces and came to the valley base camp with the last luck~www.novelbuddy.com~.
But waiting for them here are ten thousand brave orc warriors, watching the orc army guarding the dangerous valley, and the king who is tied on a rope for public display.
Hundreds of thousands of human troops, the last luck was shattered, and they attacked the valley like crazy.
But this is a dangerous place they have carefully selected and personally selected. Even if only 10,000 elites are stationed here, the human army will never be able to attack.
The royal mage group fighting with the Chinese army wanted to rely on spells to open up the situation, but the Red Scorpion Khanate, which had known all aspects of the Silver Moon Kingdom for a long time, also sent its own shaman group to guard the valley.
The spellcasters on both sides countered each other, the spells could not be released at all, and the mage group also lost its use.
Everyone knew that with their rations, they would not be able to return home smoothly.
Even though the orcs may have already transferred their supplies, the valley base camp is their last hope, and no one is willing to break through this hopeless hope.
The human army organized round after round of attacks, and the corpses stained the whole valley with blood, but the orc army came back to help.
Concentrating superior forces, the orc army that wiped out the army on the right came from all directions.
Hungry and weak human soldiers, facing the strong and ferocious orc soldiers, are completely crushed.
Hundreds of thousands of human troops, like snow melting in the flames, melted away in the blink of an eye, and by the way, awakened the dreams of the nobles.
Start a war, defeat the enemy, gain military merits, and grant titles and lands!
Most people only see these four steps, and only a few people can see that there is another possibility between launching a war and defeating the enemy.
That is, the war is lost and there is nothing left...
