King

Chapter 233 The Great Rout

As time went by, the battlefield became increasingly chaotic. Both the orc army and the human army are in the embarrassing situation of "the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers."

The situation of human soldiers is better. Ordinary soldiers do not have so many life and death enemies. Even if there are individual enemies, the probability of encountering them on the battlefield is low.

The orc army is different. Although they are fighting together, the racial hatred accumulated over countless years cannot be eliminated with a single military order.

After falling into great chaos, the original military orders and laws also lost their binding force on everyone.

I don't know who made a bad start, killing the hostile aliens who accidentally entered the army of their own race, and then spread to the entire army.

Pandora's box is opened and the situation is no longer under control. At this moment, all the ugliness of animal nature was exposed.

First, he would kill the enemy race that accidentally entered him, and then he would actively look for opportunities for revenge. This kind of thing happens a lot, so naturally it cannot be kept secret.

He has a beastly brain to begin with, and is not very clever when thinking about problems. When he found out that one of his own had been killed, he picked up the knife and went to take revenge without even thinking about it.

"Stop it, you idiots! Supervise the battle team and separate them..."

Baraz roared.

At such a time, they could still fight each other, but there was nothing he could do. There are really "pig teammates" in this wave, and they really can't be brought along!

Facts have proved that low-level orcs with insufficient IQ will not think so much once they become red-eyed. The intervention of the supervising team just added a bunch of people to join the melee.

Command an army to fight?

At this moment, it has become a joke. Even if it is an expeditionary force, the only things that Hudson can mobilize now are the reserves that have not yet participated in the battle and the cavalry wandering around the edges of the battlefield.

The team that was deeply involved in the battle was already in chaos. The training in the past could only allow the soldiers below to maintain a small group linkage of ten people.

Officers who can gather hundreds of soldiers are talents. As for more troops, that is no longer a question of whether or not we want to do so, but it is simply impossible to do so in reality.

In an era when communication relied on shouting, after the army fell into chaos, the limit of the number of soldiers that a front-line officer could directly command was the range of his voice.

Beyond this limit, soldiers cannot even hear the officer's orders, let alone implement them.

There is no doubt that in this chaotic scene, no matter how many troops are thrown into it, they will soon be dragged into a chaos.

Nowadays, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. For soldiers trapped on the battlefield, the issuance of any order will trigger a new round of chaos.

There is no point in increasing troops, so just watch them kill indiscriminately!

After surviving this bloody battle, those who survived were all veterans. Unable to withstand the test of war and fall on the battlefield, they can only be considered unlucky.

In troubled times, the most valuable thing is "life".

"Stop the shelling at the south gate and start shelling from the other three gates. No need to aim, just shoot at me randomly. The farther the shells go, the better!"

Count Martins suddenly ordered.

The battle in the south of the city has progressed so far. The two armies are already fighting together. If the magic crystal cannon continues to blast, they will also hit their own people.

On the contrary, the other three sides were so dark at the moment that nothing could be seen. Adding some artillery fire can create psychological pressure on the orc army.

"Fire back with the magic crystal cannon!"

Balaz's disease ordered him to go to the doctor in a hurry.

This was the second time he made a mistake. He had just ordered the troops besieging the city to come over for reinforcements, and now he asked them to organize firepower to fight back. It was a huge failure.

Unfortunately, Balazs had no choice. Seeing the army collapse, he had to do something.

Even though the two sides were still fighting, it was just that the orc army in the center had nowhere to run. There are more and more deserters in the marginal areas, and some even run away in tribal units.

Originally, the centripetal force of the Orc Empire was not strong, and the army obeyed the orders of the five royal families purely out of awe of the strong.

They are usually oppressed beasts, and asking them to sacrifice their lives for the orc empire is obviously a deliberate attempt to embarrass the "beasts".

The magic lamp on the tower could not cover the entire battlefield after all. There are too many unknowns hidden in the dark corners.

Orc soldiers kept escaping, and reinforcements came from the other three sides of the city wall to catch up. The collapsing battle situation was held back in confusion.

Unfortunately, Balazs was not happy at all.

The scene was too chaotic. The orc army was already overwhelming, the expeditionary force still had reserves, and not all the defenders in the city had been killed.

The daybreak will be the end of them, and they may not even need to wait for daybreak.

Time passed by, and the battlefield fell into chaos. At this point, even if Balazs wanted to give an order, he didn't know who to give it to.

All the commanders of the major legions under his command have lost contact. As the commander-in-chief, he only has the soldiers of his own tribe available.

The big collapse finally came, but this time it was a bit bloody.

More and more deserters directly diverted the reinforcements that came later, running wildly in the dark night.

When the tribal leader realized that he had gone astray, it was already too late. The troops could not be found at all in the dark night. The rebel army behind them squeezed the troops in front and fled forever.

Whether it was accidental or deliberate, it doesn't matter now.

There were no reinforcements, and the orc soldiers exposed to the light quickly realized that something was wrong.

All the comrades have run away, and whoever stays to fight bloody battles is a fool.

One by one, they were scrambling to escape. Anyway, they had the cover of darkness and were not afraid of the enemy's pursuit.

"Ming Jin retreats the troops and treats the wounded!"

Hudson suddenly ordered.

In the vast dark night, with only a few drops of light from the moon, he really did not dare to let his troops continue to pursue.

Reason told him that if the soldiers were to attack at this time, more people would be lost tomorrow morning than would be killed tonight.

The battle has progressed to this point, and the scattered orc soldiers have fled to unknown directions. It is not easy to reorganize.

What's more, all the siege weapons they carried were abandoned under the city. Even if they were reorganized again, they would lose the ability to threaten Da Pest.

Seeing the soldiers collecting magic crystal cannons and bed crossbows, Hudson was speechless. It really looked like an orc, and was bigger than anything he had seen before.

Being able to transport so many big guys is enough to prove how hard the orcs work.

It's a pity that these big and powerful guys are destined to have no chance with the expeditionary force, and can only be left to the Mossi people to serve as city defense tools.

The magic crystals and magic cores used to emit energy were most likely packed away by the orcs, leaving not a single one behind.

After searching all the orc camps, no valuable loot was found, which made Hudson feel disappointed.

The scraps and scraps of metal all over the floor really didn't interest him, so he simply left the aftermath to the Mossi people.

"Your Excellency, the palace has prepared a celebration banquet. Please..."

Before the visitor could finish speaking, Hudson interrupted: "I'm tired today, orc reinforcements may appear at any time, and the expeditionary force still has follow-up work to deal with.

I will not attend the celebration banquet. Could you please, Sir, thank His Majesty the King for my kindness? "

The news that Chris IX was ill was strictly kept secret, and all edicts were issued normally in the name of the king, even Hudson was unaware of it.

Hearing the words of rejection, Renato was embarrassed and relieved at the same time.

Refusing to attend the banquet is a trivial matter. The key point is that the expeditionary force did not ask to enter the city. The military discipline of the army is not very good these days, especially this kind of guest army.

It’s okay if other places are harmed, but Da Pest is the royal capital. If you were tormented, you would suffer heavy losses.

Even though it was rumored that the expeditionary force had strict military discipline, the senior officials of the Moxi Principality did not dare to take a gamble.

I didn't know how to deny the expeditionary force entry into the city at first, but I didn't expect that Hudson had no idea of ​​letting everyone enter the city at all.

With his worries solved, Renato became more and more eager.

It's a pity that Hudson is not a diplomat. He has no interest in in-depth communication with the foreign minister of the Principality of Moxi, so he dismissed it in a few words.

Take the opportunity to deepen the friendship between the two countries?

That is an issue that the king and the ministers in the royal capital need to consider. As the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, he only needs to fight well.

It is not a good moral character to seek political power in one's position and reach out everywhere. Who makes Hudson the new coach?

Your current status is all earned through hard work. The foundation in the kingdom is extremely unstable, and he is not qualified to be a powerful minister at all.

If it were a certain old noble, he would have been fully responsible for the affairs of the Principality of Moxi by now. He would try to take away as much cake as possible without leaving any chance to others.

In fact, the Hudson is operating as well. It's just a matter of forming good relationships in one's personal capacity, and it won't be effective in the short term.

After the war is over, it's time to reap the fruits. He is not qualified to touch the political interests that are on the surface now, which does not mean that he cannot interfere with the commercial interests hidden in the dark.

As a general in command, it is necessary to be aloof. No matter how indifferent he is in public affairs, he is very enthusiastic in private. When dealing with smart people, everything goes without saying.

Lifting the siege of Da Pest is only half completed. Next, we have to withstand the orcs' counterattack before we are truly done.

After sending Renato away, Hudson was already secretly planning how to deal with the Beamon Cavalry. This is also a race against time.

The five orc royal courts have all sent reinforcements, and their troops will arrive at the gates of Da Pest in five days at the earliest. The slowest one is still building roads. I don’t know when I will arrive, so I don’t need to think about it for the time being.

If they want to seriously injure or encircle and annihilate the Behemoth Cavalry, the time left for them is only five days, and it may even be less.

News of tonight's battle will soon reach the Orc Imperial Court, which will most likely prompt them to change their decision and let the cavalry leave the group behind and come first.

So the original five-day journey can be completed in two days at most. If you dare to run all the way, you won't be surprised to reach the front line of Hudson in one day.

Of course, the probability of this happening is very low. If you really want to run a long-distance attack, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and you will suffer big losses if you are not careful.

Taking advantage of the different arrival times of the orc reinforcements to create a gap is undoubtedly the best choice.

Hudson is confident enough to dare to plan like this. The orcs have reinforcements, and the Principality of Moxi also has reinforcements.

Although the reinforcements from the southern provinces were beaten by the Beamon cavalry, they have not yet received the bad news that the entire army was destroyed, which means that the situation will not be too bad.

What's more, the other two reinforcements are still in good condition. And it arrived a little faster than the orc army.

Even if the ordinary army is ignored, the elite legions of the Principality of Moxi can always come in handy. Especially those knights, they are the absolute main force.

It would be perfect to rely on the superiority of troops to defeat the enemy with a time lag and turn the orcs' encirclement plan into a "fueling tactic".

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, there is always a plan. Although the success rate is low, what if the enemy is stupid?

If you open a history book, you will find that 99% of legendary battles are filled with a large number of idiots.

On the contrary, peak duels rarely become legends. Unless there is an absolute disparity in strength, the result of the encounter between the two powers will most likely end in a lose-lose situation.

Bathed in the first ray of light in the morning, he turned around and glanced at the Beamon cavalry who were waiting in formation. Prince Butzweig waved his hand and said: "The whole army sets off and returns to Da Pest!"

Watching the mighty Behemoth Cavalry leave, Count Fidelis, who wanted to order the entire army to attack several times and poke the Behemoth Cavalry in the butt, finally resisted the temptation.

I really can't afford to offend him. With the few cavalry in his hands, if he offends the Behemoth cavalry, not many of them will be able to come back alive.

Not to mention the infantry, they couldn't even touch the Behemoth cavalry, let alone cause trouble to others in the past.

Suddenly an eagle man fell from the sky and landed in front of the Beamon Cavalry formation. It can be seen from the color of blood hidden in the hawk's eyes that he must not have had a good sleep last night.

Although Yingren has good eyesight, he will inevitably wander off in the dark night.

In order to send the information as quickly as possible, when they suffered a huge defeat, all the hawks in the orc army traveled through the stars and nights to find traces of Prince Butzweig's camp.

In the end, it was this messenger who had made two trips before, who found the Behemoth army first.

"Hurry... tell Prince Butzweig quickly, something happened to the army... last night!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted and passed away, successfully delivering the bad news to Prince Butzweig.

"Sacrifice, save people quickly!"

After receiving the news, Prince Butzweig hurriedly ordered.

He could not care about the life or death of an Eagle Man, but he could not ignore the life or death of the 300,000 siege troops.

Even if these troops were defined as cannon fodder from the very beginning, they could not be buried in such an unclear manner.

The ancient sacrificial song sounded, and Yingren, who was originally in a coma, slowly opened his eyes. He just opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he was stuck.

The expression of the priest responsible for the treatment changed. He just wanted to wake the person up as soon as possible. He didn't expect that the spell he cast had too many side effects, so he sent the person away directly.

He kept complaining in his heart, but said calmly: "Your Highness, this eagle has been injured many times, and its body has long been exhausted. Now it has returned to the embrace of the beast god!"

He didn't ask for any useful information and wasted his time on the road. Prince Butzweig looked very ugly.

But there was nothing he could do in the face of the fearless priest. A layman like him has no say in such professional matters.

"keep going!"

As he spoke, he had already turned over and jumped onto the war beast.
