King

In order to avoid the sight of the orcs, groups of soldiers quietly left the Flying Bear Castle before dawn.

As the head coach, Hudson even acted as a sentinel himself, leading Bear Stearns to patrol the area.

A theory is just a theory after all. It was the first time that a big move was made, and Hudson didn't have much confidence.

But now that we have embarked on the path of becoming a general, we must take this step.

Looking at the team with high morale, Hudson knew that the blood gained before setting off was not in vain.

"Baron Kettle, this ambush mission will be left to you. Once the operation is successful, send a signal, and I will lead the troops out to meet you."

While speaking, Hudson did not forget to make a look that I was optimistic about.

If you are not careful, the troops that can march at night are all carefully selected elites.

In order to increase the success rate of the operation, Hudson had to reuse experienced Northland nobles. Even if we had some unpleasant experiences with each other in the past, it will not affect our current cooperation.

Everything else is easy to handle. The most important thing is how to avoid enemy detection after dawn. This is very critical.

Although similar drills have been conducted, it is still a team of 3,000 people. If the traces are exposed, the orc transport brigade will most likely become an encirclement and suppression army.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured! As long as the orc transport brigade comes over, I will definitely complete the mission."

Baron Kellett said with excitement.

Opportunities to show one's face are rare, especially now when the positions of two legion commanders are vacant. Whoever can make great achievements first will have the upper hand.

As a baron, serving as the commander of the regiment is rare in the entire history of the Alpha Kingdom. This opportunity is available now entirely because of the special situation of the expeditionary force.

It is impossible for the country to send new generals over, and the original army commanders are guilty.

The era in which status and status determined the position of the expeditionary force was over. Hudson clearly announced that the next appointment of the commander of the expedition would be based on military merit.

It's a bit against the rules, but given the current situation of the expeditionary force, this is already the best choice.

Watching the team set off, Hudson turned his attention to Bear Stearns, who had just returned from reconnaissance, and asked with concern: "Is there any big change in the Bear Court?"

If you dare to come out to cause trouble, you must first understand the strength of nearby enemies. The Flying Bear's Castle is within the sphere of influence of the Royal Court of Bears, so Hudson naturally has to focus on them.

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the scent of those bear cubs, and there's no change.

By the way, the number of orc camps has increased, and a variety of races have been added, including naughty foxes, smelly pig trotters, dirty goblins... they are all useless goods, and you should be able to deal with them.

Hudson, if you want me to tell you, you might as well bring someone to take over the Ursine Imperial Court. In terms of numbers, the troops in your hands are not much less than theirs. "

Bear Stearns' words made Hudson roll his eyes. If the war was based solely on the number of people, the orc army would have been driven back to their hometown long ago.

Since the two main legions were transferred south, except for one main legion, the remaining cannon fodder legions in the Bear Palace have average combat effectiveness.

The strength gap between the two sides is not huge, and a decisive battle is likely to hurt both sides. This is why Hudson dares to keep causing trouble.

If conditions permit, Hudson really doesn't mind taking down the Bear Court and adding a record in history to his resume.

At worst, he could just run away after the fight, without giving the orc army a chance to retaliate. With such a distinguished record, losing the Flying Bear's Castle is not worth mentioning at all.

"Mr. Bear Stearns, don't you think there are a little too many masters in the bear camp. Last time a certain bear passed by, he almost got hit.

If we are at a stalemate and the nearby orc army comes to help, do you think the Moxi army hiding in the fortress can hold them back? "

Hudson unceremoniously exposed his shortcomings.

Since his debut, Bear Stearns has had a smooth journey, becoming more of a protagonist than his master.

Although his character was influenced by Hudson as he grew up, and became more stable, the arrogance and arrogance in his bones still grew along with his strength.

After walking a lot at night, I still end up stepping on pitfalls. During a certain investigation into the Bearman Royal Court Camp, he was accidentally discovered by an orc master.

The two sides fought fiercely in the Ursine Court, and they had some advantages at first. However, faced with the orcs' lack of martial ethics, Bear Stearns could only run away in despair.

As soon as Xiong Sheng's dark history came out, Bear Stearns' good mood disappeared instantly.

Two bear eyes stared at Hudson fiercely, and a pair of bear paws kept rubbing on the ground, as if to warn: This bear is about to get impatient.

However, he still forced himself to defend himself and said: "It was just that I was not prepared last time and fell into the trap of those despicable and shameless people.

Just wait, in another hundred years, I will definitely go to them to settle the score! "

"One hundred years," Hudson shut up decisively when he heard this number. It is really sad to be an enemy of a long-lived race.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years, and Bear Stearns' revenge begins in a century.

If the cub is growing at its current strength, Hudson doubts that it will be able to directly demolish the Bear Palace in a hundred years.

Forget it, it's better not to offend the vengeful bear too deeply.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to poop and pee on his grave hundreds of years later.

…

The sky gradually brightened, and the Flying Bear Castle became noisy again.

The city gate suddenly opened, and Hudson led the cavalry team out of the city wall. The Eagle Man who was watching was so frightened that he turned around and flew away.

It wasn't until the distance between the two sides stretched to several miles away that they stopped in the air again.

After being a "good" neighbor for so long, the name "Knight of the Divine Bow" has already spread to the orc army.

These are all bloody lessons learned by our companions at the cost of their lives.

It is said that once within the shooting range of the Divine Bow Knight, no eagle can return alive.

What this range is, no one knows. Anyone who dares to try has grass growing in their graves.

Even if the strong men of the Yingren clan wanted to get rid of this threat, they would end up in despair.

The successive losses made Hudson, the "Knight of the Divine Bow", almost frightened the nearby Eagle Soldiers.

Thanks to the sponsorship of the Principality of Mossy and the gathering of the cavalry in retreat, Hudson finally managed to gather four cavalry regiments.

First the cavalry came out, and then the infantry came out of the city, as if it was a necessary training subject every day.

The training ground is still several miles away from the castle, and the land near the castle has been turned into a vegetable garden for the army.

Grain can be stored, but fresh vegetables are difficult to store for a long time. It's okay to eat pickles once in a while, but noble men can't stand eating them every day.

There is also a vegetable garden in the castle, but it was replanted from the original garden, and the output is extremely limited.

Don't know how long to hold on. After the war situation eased slightly, Hudson ordered some fast-ripening vegetables to be replanted outside the city.

The green vegetable fields bring not only vegetables, but also hope.

It’s not that the orcs came to cause trouble, but they all turned into fertilizer in the end.

Perhaps fearing the strength of the defenders, after a tentative confrontation, the Bear Court decisively acquiesced that the land with a radius of more than ten miles was Master Hudson's territory.

Thanks to the Leblon family. If they hadn't dealt a cruel blow to the bear people, the bear king would never be as peaceful as he is now.

…

In the sky, seeing the team resting in place after leaving the city, a Yingman soldier asked doubtfully:

"Jesus, something is wrong. Why are all the human soldiers resting and not training?"

The eagle man of Jesus rolled his eyes at his companion and said: "Nonsense, I saw it too.

But Cummins, what does it have to do with us whether human soldiers are trained or not?

Maybe they will start training after a while.

Do you have to go back and report this little thing? "

Being a scout is not easy. Not only must you be able to obtain intelligence, but you also need a certain level of identification.

If you run back to report trivial things, you will most likely die of exhaustion on the road.

Cummins shook his head and couldn't help complaining: "Of course not, this is the Flying Bear's Castle, and the strength of the defenders can even match that of Terrance City.

Even if the problem is discovered, it is useless. The cowards of the bear men have been scared out of their wits for a long time, and they do not dare to come over and fight them.

If it were under the jurisdiction of the Behemoth Royal Family, no human army would dare to come out for training. Every time the Behemoth Cavalry appears, the human soldiers are frightened..."

"You can't say that. The defenders of the Flying Bear Castle are not ordinary people. It is said that they are all elites from the Alpha Kingdom, and they are not comparable to the Mossi people.

I heard that the Behemoth cavalry suffered losses at their hands last time. The Bearman Imperial Court now has the same amount of troops as them, so they may not be able to win in a fight. "

…

The wheels pressed on the fallen leaves, making a continuous "squeaking" sound, like a beautiful piece of music.

As the escort officer of the convoy, Van Rumlov was in a particularly good mood. Escorting the spoils of war back to the imperial court was a job he had won after defeating numerous competitors.

From the deep rut marks, you can see how rich this harvest was. Sent to the imperial court, the reward will definitely be indispensable.

The road ahead suddenly became difficult. The uneven road surface forced the carriage to slow down.

This made Vanrumlov, who was eager to go back and claim credit, change his face, and shouted angrily at the escorting soldiers: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and push the cart?"

Don't forget that there are human military forces operating nearby. If they encounter you, it's unclear whether you can make it back alive. "

As he spoke, the whip in his hand also swung. If you see someone not working hard, go up and give him a whip.

I just don’t know why, but the road ahead is getting harder and harder to walk. It was already difficult to pull the carriage forward with horse power alone, and more and more soldiers joined the push cart team.

Van Rumlov had walked this road three times and was now passing it for the fourth time. Compared to the previous times, this will be significantly more difficult to walk.

The uneven roads and water accumulation in many areas are obviously the result of long periods of unmaintained work.

Even if it is man-made destruction, it is not destroyed now. There were no signs of groundbreaking around, and Van Rumlov was relieved.

While pushing the cart, it was inevitable for soldiers to build the road ahead. Thanks to tinkering and the combined efforts of people and animals, we finally got through the most difficult section of the road.

Van Rumlov, who was in a good mood, was considering whether to let everyone stop and take a rest. Suddenly, a voice came, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Commander, there are human troops on the left wing, approaching us."

"Commander, the right wing discovered..."

"Captain, we found out ahead..."

In the blink of an eye, enemies came from three sides, which put Van Rumlov under great pressure.

It is impossible to run. People can run away, but the team cannot move. There are enemies on three sides, and the seemingly safe rear is a rugged and bad road.

When the enemy took action in this place, it was obvious that they had conducted advance reconnaissance. Just as Van Rumlov was hesitating, the human army appeared on the horizon.

"Light the smoke, everyone pick up their weapons, form a circle around the carriage, and rely on the convoy to defend!"

At the critical moment, Van Rumlov still showed the qualities that an escort officer should have and made the most realistic decision.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Deafening shouts of killing resounded across the plains, and countless crossbow arrows attacked the orc soldiers in the circle.

The vehicle array provides good defense for the orc soldiers, but also limits their space for movement.

Facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, the orc soldiers tried to fight back. Unfortunately, the enemies used magic crossbows, but what they held in their hands were the most primitive bows and arrows.

The disparity in weapons and equipment put this battle in an unequal position from the beginning. After secretly cursing his bad luck, Van Rumlov hurriedly ordered to the panicked soldiers:

"Idiot, stop running around and get on the carriage and find something to put on your head that can protect you from arrows!"

As he spoke, a large shield appeared above Van Rumlov's head. Unfortunately, not all orc soldiers are qualified to equip this kind of equipment.

Due to productivity limitations, even if they are soldiers in the elite legion of the bear people, only a small number of soldiers can obtain armor and shields.

For most ordinary bear soldiers, they are lucky to get a pair of leather armor.

When you encounter an enemy's arrow, just use a wooden board to hit it. This thing is much cheaper than the expensive iron shield.

After a short delay, the human army had already reached the front of the formation. The bloody scene brought the cart and horse to the edge of losing control.

"Kill all the horses and destroy the wheels!"

Van Rumlov ordered decisively.

It seemed that he was trying to stabilize the car formation, but in fact he had already prepared for the worst.

The enemy came too fiercely, and they were all elites. With only the soldiers escorting the convoy, the hope of saving the convoy was very slim.

What can be done now is to use the vehicle formation to deal with the enemy and delay as much time as possible, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Even if the resistance fails and there is no carriage available, it will be difficult for the enemy to take away the belongings on the carriage in a short time.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Baron Kellett ordered with a gloomy face: "Knight Holman, send a signal to the earl that we need carriage support. Others, follow me and kill these bastards!"

It could be seen that Kelette was really angry. I had been prepared for this move for a long time, but the worst situation finally happened.

The officer escorting the convoy acted too simply. He destroyed the carriage just after the battle began, giving him no chance to stop it.

If there are no ready-made carriages available, the only alternative is to use a backup plan and let the team of carriages prepared in advance be responsible for the response.

There is no doubt that transporting supplies wastes a lot of time, and for the team executing the robbery plan, the risk increases several times.

The rising smoke quickly attracted the attention of the Eagle Soldiers patrolling nearby. After noticing the battle below, he immediately passed the news to the bear camp without any hesitation.

At about the same time, Hudson also received the signal. Although there are no Eagle soldiers to send messages, he can set up temporary beacons along the way.

You only need to leave a few sentries every ten miles. If you find the smoke of your own house burning, you will light the special magic smoke cake in your hand.

It only takes a few relays to get the message back. You can even make an agreement in advance to convey some simple messages through the amount of smoke.

"Tom, you go over with the carriage team to meet us, and the rest will follow me to attack with the whole army!"

At the same time as he gave the order, Hudson had already mounted his horse. Appearing at the front of the team, he took out his knight's sword and pointed the way forward for the army.

Four thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry, fully armed, embarked on the journey. It can be said that for this battle, Hudson spent all his wealth.

In field battles, more troops are never better. Instead of carrying a lot of cannon fodder, it would be more convenient to only bring the elite.

If the battle really reaches a stalemate, you can still call the younger brothers to come over and act as the last straw.

The main reason why they dare to jump out at this time is that there is only one main legion of the Bearman Imperial Court, which is an infantry legion with a very limited number of cavalry.

Few cavalry does not mean weak combat effectiveness.

If the Behemoth heavy cavalry is the king of cavalry, then the Ursine heavy infantry is the king of infantry, and both have the reputation of being the best in the world.

Showing his sword to such an enemy was not because Hudson was arrogant, but because he already had a plan in mind.

Don’t worry about winning, think about defeat first.

Heavy infantry is powerful, but it also has a fatal weakness, that is, its slow movement speed. The heavy armor is also a big burden for the strong bear soldiers.

When encountering such an enemy, even if you cannot defeat it, you can still outrun it.

If the risk of failure is controllable, then the only thing left is victory. War is gambling. When the odds of winning are high enough, you must make a decisive bet.

…

The Bear Emperor had just ordered a rescue transport convoy when it received news of the troops coming out of the Flying Bear Castle, and the Bear Emperor's bear temper was also aroused.

"You bastard, I really think this emperor is afraid of him!

Commander Bruno, I leave the army of Flying Bear Castle to you. Commander Boggs and Commander Nonandez, you are responsible for leading the troops and cooperating.

I don't care how you arrange it, in short, we must show the majesty of our bear clan. If we want the human race to be distraught when they hear our name, it would be best to destroy the elite human race from the Flying Bear Castle.

Commander Raoul, please take a detour to rescue our transport team. No matter what you encounter along the way, don't get entangled with the human army. "

As soon as the Bear King finished speaking, several legion commanders were dumbfounded.

Commander Bruno hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, if you send so many troops out at once, the Imperial Court will only have one ordinary legion left.

I think it is better to leave two thousand heavy infantry and half the strength of each of the other three legions to ensure the safety of the imperial court. "

"Don't worry, the only one nearby that can pose a threat to us is the human army at Flying Bear Castle.

The rest are all frightened birds, and they are all afraid of making small moves on weekdays. How dare you come to my imperial court and act wild!

Even if it does come, the defenders of an ordinary legion will be enough to hold on until you return.

On the contrary, if you don't have enough troops, you may not be able to take down the human army in Flying Bear's Castle. According to the intelligence collected, this Earl of Hudson is a very difficult opponent.

If you dare to jump out now, you must have something to rely on. If you are not fully prepared, you can easily suffer big losses. "

The Bear King said calmly.

He was naturally confident if he dared to allocate troops like this. In addition to the army, there are many masters accompanying the army in the Bearman Imperial Court.

These are all assets that the bear clan has painstakingly accumulated. In order to prevent human masters from carrying out decapitation sneak attacks, he brought out many good players.

For some reason, the Bear King felt a twinge of pain when he thought of this.

First, he lost more than a dozen masters at Bethel Fortress. Not long ago, he was attacked by a mysterious earth bear and unfortunately lost a few more people.

According to this way of playing, I am afraid that before the war is over, his heritage of the Bearman Imperial Court will be wiped out.

Suddenly I felt that the masters trained by the imperial court at a great cost should not be allowed to participate in a war of attrition. But the words had already been spoken, and the Bear King was too embarrassed to take them back.
