King
Chapter 237 A great victory in a strategic sense
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. Hudson's name is well-known in the Orc Empire, and he has been on the bounty list for many days.
Even if he lives in seclusion, he has been greeted by several waves of assassins. Perhaps in order to attract more killers to participate, or perhaps due to an intelligence error, the Earth Bear was omitted from the information annotation on the list.
The result was that a group of confused killers rushed in, and before they understood what was going on, they were snatched out by the cubs and used as toys.
In fact, the success rate of assassinating enemy generals has always been very low. For a cautious king like Hudson who came in and out of the army, the assassins didn't even have a chance to get close.
The assassination can be successful either by sneaking into the coach's side, or by launching a sneak attack while he is out alone.
Using similar methods, Alpha Kingdom had already paid tuition fees before. Now Mr. Hudson is surrounded by his own trusted guards. He doesn't even have a maid, let alone an orc.
…
"Your Highness, the human cavalry has arrived. The leader seems to be that bastard Hudson. Let me take the team out to show them some color!"
Greg stepped forward to ask for help.
It can be seen from his red Beamon eyes that he is full of deep hatred for Hudson.
"Okay, now it's up to you to lead the troops. Send the order, open the camp gate and attack with the whole army!"
Prince Butzweig ordered with a solemn expression.
There is no word "defense" in Beamon's dictionary, especially in this kind of wild encounter, and there is no reason to retreat.
Just by looking at their camp, you can tell that it is not a suitable place for defense. The most important thing is that the situation does not allow them to stand firm. Even though there are only human cavalry outside now, the infantry may follow later.
Once you confine yourself to the camp and lose the high mobility of the cavalry, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed.
As the distance between the two sides continues to narrow, the climax of the encounter between the two powers is about to begin in this wilderness.
"The crossbowmen are ready, waiting for the opportunity to find the target and shoot. Don't be polite to Behemoth!"
Hudson ordered in a very ungrateful manner.
For this battle, he took away all the miniature crossbows of the Mossi people. Especially those magic crossbows are weapons of war that can pierce the armor of heavy cavalry.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The sound of a rain of arrows piercing the air was heard, and the Behemoth cavalry rushing in front was almost shot into a sieve. Leader Greg, who was the leader of the beasts, went to see the beast god in advance before he understood what was going on.
Seeing this scene, Prince Butzweig's expression changed drastically. It's so careless, the cavalry duel actually uses magic technology.
What worries him even more is that these inconspicuous miniature magic crossbows can actually explode with such power when gathered together.
If the human cavalry is equipped with a magic crossbow in the future, how can they survive on the mainland like the Behemoth cavalry?
Should we continue to thicken the armor and enhance the soldiers' defense?
Or replace ordinary armor with high-defense magic armor?
Both of these options would be a disaster for the Beimeng clan.
The armor continues to thicken, which means that mobility will be further reduced.
Magic armor is all good, but the cost is high and the output is low. It is all handmade by alchemist masters, and there is no possibility of mass production.
The arrow flying past his forehead brought Prince Butzweig back to reality. The fate of the Behemoth clan should be considered in the future. The most important thing now is to get through the current hurdle first.
After paying the price of hundreds of cavalry losses, the two armies finally collided together, and in an instant the famous scene of men and horses tumbling on their backs and animals tumbling on their backs was staged.
"The Human Knights!"
As soon as this idea came up, Prince Butzweig gave up the idea of defeating the cavalry in front of him.
There is no way. They are all enemies on war horses. There is not much difference in appearance. It is difficult to distinguish the difference between the knights and the cavalry before the battle.
Hudson's decision to let the Cavaliers take the lead is undoubtedly a wise one. In the brutal collision on the battlefield, the Beamon Cavalry only had a slight advantage.
However, this advantage is not enough for them to make up for the disadvantage in military strength. After a round of head-on duel, hundreds more Behemoth cavalry were added to the ground.
The number of human cavalry killed in the battle was actually more, but due to the superiority in military strength, they seemed inconspicuous.
The army turned their horses and the word "kill" was shouted from Hudson's mouth. The knights charged again, followed closely by countless cavalry.
A new round of collision of forces occurred, and the battle scene became more and more bloody. In the collision between barbarism and civilization, the one that has the upper hand at this moment has become civilization.
After two rounds of peak duel, plus the hundreds of people who were taken away by arrows in front of them, the number of Behemoth Cavalry has been reduced to over a thousand.
Seeing this scene, Prince Butzweig, who was hiding among the army, secretly said "Oops!"
Although he wanted to take off Hudson's head, rationality prevailed in the end. After experiencing the second round of confrontation, he no longer turned around and directly ordered to the soldiers: "Follow me to retreat!"
As he spoke, he started running away with his troops without looking back. By the time Hudson turned his horse's head, the distance between the two sides had widened to several hundred meters.
Looking at the fleeing Beamon Cavalry, Hudson only felt a little unreal. This time he didn't cheat. Mr. Bear Stearns slept on his shoulder from beginning to end.
"Chase!"
Hudson immediately ordered.
As soon as the Behemoth cavalry withdrew, the outcome of this battle was decided in advance. It's a rare opportunity to beat up a drowned dog, so naturally you can't let it go.
Killing each one counts. For a race with a sparse population like Beamon, killing is the best strategy.
On the plains, there was a magical scene of chasing and escaping. Theoretically speaking, it is useless to pursue the Beamon Cavalry now.
However, this is not a prairie after all. The avenue is only a few meters wide and cannot accommodate too many cavalry. The fleeing Beamon cavalry will inevitably trample the farmland on both sides of the road.
However, there are still a few holes in the farmland along the way. It is inevitable that animals will stumble occasionally.
The real meaning of this pursuit is to kill these unlucky people who have had accidents. Of course, it is not ruled out that Officer Beamon was unlucky and led his troops into a "dead end."
Plain land means that the land is flat as a whole, but it does not mean that all the land is on the same horizon without any obstacles.
Occasionally, a few small dirt bags may appear, a narrow road may appear, or a canyon or river may appear.
Looking at the eagle man hovering in the sky in the distance, Hudson secretly cursed "bad luck!"
With these guys pointing the way in the sky, it is basically useless to expect the enemy to lead the army into a "dead end".
An opportunity to completely annihilate the Beamon Cavalry Corps slipped away in his hands, but the pursuit still had to continue.
Thirty miles, fifty miles, a hundred miles... During the fierce pursuit and escape battle, they actually reached the border of the Principality of Moxi.
"Stop the pursuit!"
Hudson stopped the chasing team with a wave of his hand.
He couldn't continue to pursue him. Even if he had the blood of Warcraft, the endurance of the war horse was still limited.
In the previous pursuit, many horses died from exhaustion. Now even Hudson's own horse was panting from exhaustion, and he might be killed again if he continued to pursue it.
After paying such a high price, the results obtained were also considerable. The Beamon Cavalry Corps, which fled in a hurry, has now been severely damaged.
It is estimated that half of the people who escaped into the Principality of Oton are lucky. The rest either got separated in the chase or were sent to meet the beast god.
"A group of remnants and defeated generals, I guess the Principality of Alton can handle it, right?"
Hudson said to himself somewhat uncertainly.
It's not that he really wants to trick the Principality of Alton, but the enemy is just running that way, and he can't stop him even if he wants to.
If the Bimon cavalry were more honest and ran to join the reinforcements, Hudson could guarantee that even if they could not destroy their entire army, they could still cripple their organization.
Running to other countries will lead to a similar outcome. As long as the neighboring army stops them for a moment, this group of Behemoths will be finished.
The only exception is the Principality of Oton. In the previous battle, it had been severely damaged by the orc expeditionary force, and now it was in a state of defenselessness.
Being able to protect a core area where the royal capital is located is considered a very hard work. Border defense, let’s save it first!
After resting on the spot for two days, Hudson ordered the army to return. Resting for such a long time was not only to allow the soldiers to relax for a while, but also to worry about the Behemoth Cavalry leaving and returning.
It turned out that he was simply overthinking. The Beamon Cavalry Corps that fled into the Principality of Oton just rested for a night, and then continued to run away.
Judging from the marching route, they were either reorganizing some of the Principality of Alton or preparing to enter the Warhammer Kingdom.
No matter which situation it is, it seems that it has deceived his teammates. Let the Mossi people handle this kind of thing. Anyway, the battle is won.
Although thousands of cavalry were lost and tens of thousands of horses were destroyed, nothing was worth mentioning in the face of the record of severely damaging the Behemoth Cavalry Corps.
It seems that the number of enemies annihilated does not seem to be large, but it is different to put it another way: 1.5% of the population of the Behemoth clan was wiped out, and all of them were young and strong.
Hudson had thought about the nature of the war, and it was a great victory of great "strategic significance". It's definitely enough to use it to brag about.
Compared with the wind-like speed when they came, when they returned, the cavalry turned into infantry, wandering slowly at a speed of fifty miles a day.
They were all forced out. When chasing the Beamon cavalry, they all ran wildly. The horse originally used for transportation was naturally abandoned behind.
The sequelae of overuse of horses have been erupting one after another in the past two days.
Fortunately, this is a world with extraordinary power. Specially prepared magic potions have saved the lives of many war horses. Otherwise, these cavalrymen might have become infantry.
There is no need to rush for time now, so naturally we need to cherish the horsepower. Intuition told Hudson that these highly effective magic potions were not good products.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the Aslant continent was on the wrong side of the technology tree. All healing magic comes at the cost of consuming the wounded's vitality.
The situation with treatment potions is not much better, but any potion that can be effective immediately has to pay a price.
…
In the Beamon Camp in the Principality of Oton, Prince Butzweig finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news of Hudson's withdrawal.
There was no time to be happy, but the casualty data reported by his subordinates completely shattered his good mood.
Looking at the number of officers in the camp that had been reduced by half, Prince Butzweig said in a low tone: "The failure of this battle was mainly because we underestimated the power of the human race. After all, the mainland hegemon is not so easy to shake!
I think you have also felt that although the combat effectiveness of the Human Knights is slightly weaker than ours, with their advantages in weapons and equipment, this gap has been almost made up by them.
Even those human cavalry, led by the knights, can cause considerable casualties to us.
I will be responsible for the explanation at the Imperial Court and will not hold you responsible for your defeat, but I hope everyone will take a warning and curb their pretentious arrogance.
We must always remember that our enemy is not the weak slime, but the overlord who dominates the Aslant continent.
Although the enemy is powerful, Behemoth is brave..."
After beating his generals and boosting their morale, Prince Butzweig is also working hard now.
Don't look at the easy words, he will take care of it in the imperial court. But the Orc Empire is cruel, and the internal competition among the Behemoth clan is not much worse.
After suffering such a huge defeat, competitors who want to catch him will definitely not show mercy.
If it weren't for the fact that the army was now alone, the command authority might have been relieved.
Reason told him that if he didn't perform well in the future, he would at least have to shed his skin after returning.
"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, this operation against the Principality of Moxi may be difficult to achieve its original purpose.
It is better to send people to contact various reinforcements and invite them to come south to join us, so that we can join forces and enter the Warhammer Kingdom together. "
Clark suggested.
As a counselor, his fate is closely related to Prince Butzweig. If something goes wrong with the boss, his younger brother will also suffer.
With the orc royal family's discrimination against these vassal races, it is not easy to meet a boss like Prince Butzweig who can listen to advice. Even if you want to change the family, it is not feasible.
"It's too late. If the strength of the army has not been damaged, it is indeed a good way to invite reinforcements from all walks of life to join the Warhammer Kingdom.
At this point, even if we can join forces, the voice we can gain will not be high.
Even if they win a great victory in the Warhammer Kingdom, it will be difficult to make up for the impact of this defeat. There is only one way left for us, and that is to go all the way south and disrupt the hinterland of the human race.
The human race is not too strong in the northern continent. Except for the Kingdom of Alpha, the Kingdom of Warhammer, and the Principality of Moxi, the rest are a group of small countries.
With the troops we have in hand, we can definitely cause a big chaos. Duke Daniel has set an example for us, and all we have to do is follow his example.
After passing on the order, all the human villages and small towns encountered will be destroyed and all the serfs and civilians on these lands will be driven out.
We need a refugee wave, a large-scale refugee wave that can shake the human race's rule in the north! "
Prince Butzweig said coldly.
If you want to make a comeback, you must make a surprising move. According to the normal style of play, no matter how he performs next, it will be difficult to obtain enough military exploits to cover up the previous defeat.
"Your Highness, it is not difficult to stir up a wave of refugees and disrupt all human countries, but with this alone, the Imperial Court may not be able to explain it.
Unless we can spread chaos all the way to the middle of the continent, effectively weakening the human race's war potential. only……"
Before the middle-aged general could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Butzweig with a wave of his hand. Spreading chaos to the middle of the continent is not that simple.
The several human kingdoms in the middle are not fools. It is estimated that before they get close, their army will come over and kill them.
Having just suffered a severe beating from the human cavalry, no Behemoth could guarantee that this half-broken legion would be able to withstand the military attack of a kingdom.
“The refugee flow does not necessarily have to enter the middle of the continent, nor does it drive refugees into the Alpha Kingdom!
Of course, it would be even better if the refugee flow was large enough to cause trouble to the central countries of the human race! "
Thank you, the leader of the ethereal alliance. I owe you +1, and I will try to pay it back as soon as possible. I love you Haiyue!
