King

The sky gradually brightens, the first ray of dawn shines on the earth, and the horn of charge sounds from the horizon.

The enemy sent reinforcements and the battle came to an end. There are less than three thousand alien coalition forces remaining on the battlefield. It seems that with more strength, they can completely wipe out the enemy forces.

"hehe……

Hudson, no matter how many calculations you made, you didn't expect that you would still fall short in the end, right? "

The silver bell-like laughter revealed Delise's inner joy.

After suffering all night, I finally waited for the moment of reversal. This feeling is beyond words.

"Miss Delise, don't be too happy, first see how many moving elves there are on the battlefield.

Okay, this battle is over, and we are destined to meet again. "

After speaking, Hudson decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The expeditionary force is very tired now that the battle has progressed. If they continue, they may be able to annihilate all the enemy forces in front of them, but their own losses will also be very heavy.

Seeing Hudson's proud expression, the young elf woman's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

The whole army was almost wiped out, but only some of the remaining soldiers were saved, so it couldn't be considered a victory.

In an instant, Delise's anger swelled to the limit. Considering the difference in force between the two sides, he gave up the idea of ​​fighting with Hudson, and his eyes were full of murderous intent in the direction of the reinforcements.

It was obvious that he was here to help, but in the end he became the main force on the battlefield, while his allies watched from the side.

Almost all of the troops sent by the Ancient Relics Alliance were dead in the battle. The few survivors were scattered on the battlefield, and you couldn't find them if you didn't look carefully.

If you can't see it, you don't exist. After ignoring these teammates, Delis directly labeled the Ancient Relics Alliance as unreliable.

How could a few thousand human cavalry hold back an army of 200,000 for so long?

Once the seed of doubt arose, it became a thorn buried deep in her heart that would never go away.

But his reason told him that there was no reason for the Ancient Relics Alliance to cheat their teammates at this time. Without the support of the elves, they would not be able to escape the liquidation of the humans after the war.

Looking at the direction in which Hudson left, Delis said to herself: "Is this also part of your plan?

If the famous generals of the human race are so powerful, why don't they let the elves be flexible? "

…

After leaving the battlefield, looking down at the shrinking team below, Hudson sighed secretly.

“Stop to rest and count the casualties of each unit.

Priests try their best to treat the wounded and can use magic potions, but try not to use divine spells. "

Frankly speaking, the current location is not safe, it is only thirty miles away from the battlefield.

However, the expeditionary force was exhausted, and the enemy army had also been tortured for a day and night, and was in a state of exhaustion.

If he had 20,000 more cavalry in his hands, Hudson would never mind killing them.

Let's forget it now. It's not worthwhile to use the kingdom's elite and the alliance of ancient remnants as a bargain.

…

"Marshal, this time I was greedy for credit and failed to buy enough time for the army. Please forgive me..."

Before Jose could finish his apology, Hudson laughed.

"No, you not only have no fault, but you have merit!

He missed the opportunity to annihilate the enemy's remnants, but gained the opportunity to defeat the enemy's main force. No matter how you look at it, it's a big profit.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and if I had the chance to burn down the enemy camp, I would have given up on the interception plan. "

After hearing what Hudson said, Jose became even more uneasy.

He did not want to break through the enemy's camp. He was simply following Hudson's instructions to "encircle Wei and save Zhao" with the enemy.

After He Lai played a few more games, the enemy figured out his strength and thought that it was impossible for him to break through the camp with such a small number of men.

The enemy refused to turn around and return reinforcements, so the planned feint attack turned into a forced attack.

“Marshal, after we broke through the enemy camp, we didn’t find much food and supplies.

Except for the 10,000 enemy troops left behind, the rest were wounded. For this reason, three hundred Warcraft cavalry were lost, and the results were actually very average! "

Jose explained hurriedly.

Whether your performance is good or bad depends on who you compare with.

Compared with the battle commanded by Hudson, sacrificing three hundred Warcraft cavalry for such a result was really unattainable.

The Warcraft Legion had not suffered such heavy losses among the 50,000 reinforcements that had attacked the enemy before.

But you can't calculate the score like this. You can't expect to encounter uncontrollable factors like pig teammates every time.

"General Jose, from a tactical point of view, the actual benefits of this battle are indeed not great.

Compared with our previous achievements, it is not worth mentioning. But war is not only military, but also political.

The reinforcements from the Ancient Relics Alliance were slow to move, which resulted in the Elf Legion being crippled by us. Can the Elf clan have no ideas?

Once a rift occurs, it is not that simple to heal it. At the very least, it is impossible for the elves to send reinforcements to them in the short term.

In military terms, except that the more than 20,000 wounded are not counted as achievements, we can roughly make a calculation.

First, they annihilated 15,000 enemy troops transporting grain and grass, and then severely damaged more than 20,000 enemy reinforcements. You also contributed to the annihilation of 10,000 enemy troops. It is conservatively estimated that more than 45,000 enemy troops were annihilated.

If you take into account your sneak attack along the way and the enemy's non-combat attrition, the loss of the foreign coalition forces is probably about 50,000.

No matter how much food and grass there is in the camp you burned down, the enemy army is now out of food, and the morale of the army will definitely be severely damaged.

Maybe each tribe has some dry food that they carry with them, but the quantity is definitely not large. Maybe they will get into trouble because of the dry food issue.

There were two ways before them, either to use the corpses on the battlefield as military rations, or to slaughter the mounts and animals to fill the gap.

The soldiers of the Ancient Relics Alliance didn't care, but the soldiers of the elves certainly couldn't accept using the corpses of their companions as military rations.

When races with different ideals collide, there will inevitably be conflicts.

What's more, there are still us. The enemy will not have an easy time in the next two hundred miles! "

The surprise came so suddenly that Hudson was a little confused.

If the enemy's camp is still there, no matter whether there is a shortage of food, it can be solved secretly.

Now all the soldiers know that the food and grass have been destroyed, and if the officers use meat as military rations, the origin will be exposed in an instant.

There are many races within the Ancient Relics Alliance. Some races are accustomed to eating the corpses of their companions, while many others hold a rejection stance.

It has become inevitable for the already unstable alliance to become divided again.

With so many unfavorable factors added together, Hudson couldn't believe that he still couldn't find an opportunity to severely damage the enemy.

While happy, Hudson was also a little worried. The number of troops following him has become less and less.

There were 35,000 men at the time of the expedition, but now there are less than 30,000 left, including 5,000 wounded.

If the expeditionary force had not been victorious along the way, covering up the impact of casualties, the morale of the army would have been affected long ago.

In any case, the army must rest and regroup after this battle.

…

On the battlefield, the alien coalition forces gathered together, and the atmosphere seemed particularly desolate.

Desperately coming for reinforcements, unexpectedly they pounced on Lonely. Even though they knew that the enemy's position was not far away, no one suggested pursuing them.

We are all exhausted. If we insist on catching up and encounter the enemy who have rested for a few hours, we will lose our lives.

"What are you doing for food, and why did you wait until now to arrive?"

Delise asked murderously.

Coming here with a full elf army, I thought I would be able to shine and make the elf clan famous.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after arriving at the front line, the entire army was almost wiped out.

If something like this happened, the clan must be given an explanation. Otherwise, even if you are a strong person in the Holy Realm, you will still be punished when you return.

It is impossible for Delise to take the blame.

She sent troops at the invitation of the Ancient Relics Alliance. In the end, because the reinforcements did not arrive on time, the army suffered heavy losses. The responsibility lies with the Ancient Relics Alliance.

As for what happened in the middle, that was the Ancient Relics Alliance's own business. She only needed to catch them for not fulfilling their agreement.

Delise doesn't care about the subsequent impact at all. The premise of friendship is equality. The performance of the Ancient Relics Alliance is really difficult to gain her respect.

A falling out will not affect the overall situation. From the moment it sends troops to join the war, the ancient alliance of survivors has no way out.

The war has been going on so far, and even if they are willing to switch sides, it is impossible for the human race to accept it.

Because of the invasion of the Ancient Relics Alliance, the number of human beings who died has already been in the millions. If indirect deaths are included, the number will probably exceed tens of millions.

With so many people dead, if there was no response, how could the human race have the nerve to say that they were the overlord of the continent.

Including Hudson's political inducement to surrender, it is actually a piece of cake. If he were really asked to recruit the Alliance of Ancient Relics and ensure that they would not be liquidated after the war, Hudson would not have the guts to do it.

From the beginning to the end, the slogan thrown by Hudson was only "Don't kill those who surrender."

Not killing does not mean not holding people accountable.

A typical political slogan, it is no problem to fool the soldiers of the ancient relics who have little education, but the old nobles who are skilled in politics can see the problem at a glance.

It is true that the Alpha Kingdom will not hold them accountable, but no one knows whether the Principality of Moxi, the East-West Warhammer Kingdom, and the Northern Continent countries will hold them accountable.

The final outcome is either becoming a slave or being put on public trial by the nobles to gain reputation.

Especially the countries that will occupy the land of Warhammer Kingdom in the future need to focus more on their performance in this regard.

"Your Majesty, we were blocked by enemy forces on the road, and we only broke through the blockade at the cost of heavy casualties.

In order to reinforce the front line in time, we did not even take care of the rear camp, resulting in the massacre of more than 10,000 defenders and more than 20,000 wounded! "

The Shadow King, who was pushed to the front desk, explained with a bitter look on his face.

It's not easy to be the boss. Before he became the boss of the Ancient Relics Alliance, he was pushed out to carry the thunder.

If the angry venerable man in front of him gets so angry that he slaps him to death, his death will be in vain.

The Alliance of Ancient Relics has no ability to stand up for him, and the weak Shadow Clan dare not compete blindly.

"Allies" are just the last fig leaf. With the continuous defeats on the battlefield, the voice of the Ancient Relics Alliance is constantly being weakened.

She originally wanted to vent her anger, but something suddenly occurred to her. Delise suddenly suppressed her anger and pretended to be helpless and said:

"That's all, things have already happened. Saying this now won't change anything. Let's think about the next battle!

I think you know how difficult Hudson is. Now that the coalition forces have suffered heavy losses and lost their supplies, he cannot let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.

Do you have any countermeasures? "

She seemed to be thinking about her allies at all times, but in fact, Delise didn't take the Ancient Relics Alliance seriously at all.

If you can speak politely, it's because these guys still have final use value.

It is unrealistic to expect them to destroy the expeditionary force, but being able to cause certain casualties to the opponent is also good news for the elves.

If the Ancient Relics Alliance were defeated too quickly, the entire legion she had led would probably be lost.

In last night's battle, almost everyone in the Elf Legion was injured, and more than two-thirds of them were seriously injured.

In the current state of the wounded, for the priest to perform divine magic, at least half of them would have to be lost.

If she died in the hands of the enemy, Delis would feel physical pain, and it would be even worse if she died in the hands of her own people.

It's not like he's really hopeless. Divine spells are too powerful to increase life, and there are also magic potions as a substitute.

Even if you are short of arms and legs and want to regenerate your limbs, you can wait until your body is healed, and there is no need to rush to death.

Kings, you look at me, I look at you, all of them have helplessness written on their faces.

From a civilization level, they are large tribal chiefs. Most races don't even have writing, and knowledge is passed down by word of mouth.

"My venerable sir, let me tell you the truth. We are all rough people. We rely on our past experience to fight with soldiers. We have never encountered the current situation. We don't know how to learn from it?

Please give me some advice on how to break the situation! "

The Shadow King said bravely.

He knows very well that this proposal will make many people in the league uncomfortable, but if he has a choice, he will not do it.

There is no objection.

Delise's murderous look just now frightened everyone. Who knows what will happen next if you piss this guy off.

"What's there to think about? Hurry up and get the logistics supplies! Is it possible that you want to lead your team to chase the enemy's cavalry at this time?"

Delise said angrily.

It's not a matter of cowardice or not. The main reason is that the ancient survivors are too poor to support cavalry, which leads to the current strategic passivity.

The general direction can be judged at a glance, but the specific implementation is a big problem. Asking people from the rear to send supplies is contributing to the enemy's success.

It can be seen from the distance between the camps of both sides that the expeditionary army is preparing to entangle them and does not want this army to leave.

Judging from the data purely on paper, the alliance's total strength is still 180,000, which is six times that of the enemy, giving it an absolute advantage.

The reality is that we have military superiority but cannot use it. If you want to start a counterattack, you can't find a chance to take action.

After looking at each other, the expressions of the kings suddenly became serious. There is a plan to solve the problem of food and grass, but no one dares to propose it at this time.

…
