King

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

After years of hard work, Hudson is now famous. A dragon roar pierced the sky, and everyone knew that the only marshal of the kingdom had arrived.

Although Hudson had not had time to do anything, the morale of the frontline officers and soldiers changed because of his arrival.

The originally lifeless headquarters suddenly became full of hope.

The kingdom finally changed its commander, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Marquis James himself.

Retreating now is nothing more than returning home with the reputation of incompetence. If we suffer a few more defeats, we can't even think about retreating unscathed.

Frankly speaking, his command is quite satisfactory. There are no big highlights or many omissions, and the overall performance is passable.

Being able to stand out from the crowd of generals, Marquis James' ability is beyond doubt. Being able to get to where he is now was only achieved through one shot and one shot on the battlefield.

Maybe his performance is not the most amazing, but James' luck is better than that of his contemporaries.

All the competitors who had performed better than him died on the battlefield one by one. After enduring it, he became a big boss in the army.

During the last war, he also performed very well when assisting Hudson in commanding the army.

Too bad it was misplaced.

James, who is more than calm but slightly less flexible, is an excellent executor, but he is very average in commanding a party.

If equipped with a staff to make up for the shortcomings in flexibility, he can also become an excellent commander.

It is a pity that there is no such thing as a general staff in the Aslant continent. The military reforms that Hudson tinkered with remained superficial and did not touch the deeper command system.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that the kingdom's current conditions simply don't have the conditions to reform the command system.

Not everyone can be a staff officer. Even Hudson himself could barely put together an immature team. How could it be promoted throughout the army?

If you want to become a qualified staff officer, the first thing you must do is emancipate your mind and abandon the constraints of traditional military thinking.

However, fixed ideas are the most important core of governance in the current political system. After years of being brainwashed, there are very few people who can remain unaffected.

When everyone is deeply influenced by traditional thinking, those who are not influenced become heretics.

This situation is more serious in countries with fewer wars. Especially in the civil war among human nobles, whoever does not follow the rules will be ostracized by the entire circle.

The Alpha Kingdom is more pragmatic, but it is not open enough to subvert the feudal system. The general environment is such that there is nothing Hudson can do.

"marshal……"

When the words came to his lips, James swallowed them back. It's too late to say anything now. Someone always needs to take responsibility for defeat.

He cannot be the king who pushed him to the throne, so he has to carry it himself. It was not unfair anyway, the defeat on the battlefield itself was a mistake in his command.

"No need to say any more, go back and rest for a while. Your current mental state is very wrong."

Hudson said calmly.

There is no point in appeasing. Things have developed to this point. Whether James can make a comeback mainly depends on whether Caesar IV is still willing to trust him.

Unlike Jose, the unlucky guy who had not grown up, Marquis James, who had climbed to the top of the military, was impossible to win over.

To have his current status, the royal family treated him well. If he can still change jobs, not only will Caesar IV want to kill him, but other forces will not dare to reuse such a person.

There is no value, so there is no need to retain it. Anyway, there isn't much friendship between the two of them, it's just enough to keep up with them.

After checking the message to make sure there was no problem, the two quickly completed the transfer of power.

After watching Marquis James leave, Hudson immediately summoned the main generals on the front line and held a military meeting.

The strategic plan has not changed much, and the main thing is "stable". After suffering a loss, the defense level of various places has been improved, and it is purely a dream to attack the city again.

In a sense, letting Alpha Kingdom strategically shrink is itself a big failure.

If the battlefield is in the newly recovered provinces of northern Xinjiang, the orc cavalry can gallop freely, as long as they don't go too deep and get bitten.

But as soon as the front line shrank, they faced densely packed fortresses. There is one castle within ten miles and one fortress within fifty miles. That is no exaggeration at all.

Even if the cavalry penetrates deeply, it will be difficult to function in the face of this defensive network. The traces were exposed as soon as they crossed the border, and the sneak attack was a dream.

The Alpha Kingdom is not a soft persimmon, and the orc cavalry that exposed its traces is giving results to the Kingdom's army.

While stabilizing the front and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Hudson did not panic at all.

Anyway, no one urged him to fight the orcs.

Caesar IV could point fingers at Marquis James because he was promoted by the royal family, unlike a commander like Hudson who came from a princely background.

The defenders did not panic, but it was the attacking side's turn to have a headache. Facing the "stable" defenders, the orc army began to worry.

In the case of an expedition, if you can't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. After several tentative attacks, the battlefield actually entered a state of confrontation.

The orc army did not launch an attack, and the defenders also stayed in the city. The two sides started a staring game.

This confrontation lasted for more than a month. The defenders in the city are nothing, but the orc army stationed in the wild can't stand it anymore!

The orcs themselves are not a hygienic race. They eat, drink, and poop in the same place, making the camp a mess.

Duke Daniel tried to rectify the situation several times, but was forced to stop because of too much internal opposition.

…

"Marshal Daniel, the current situation is completely different from what you said before. Not to mention severely damaging the enemy, now we can't even touch the enemy.

The enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, and the situation we will face will be even worse by then. It will be difficult to attack again. "

The Bear King said angrily.

The current battle situation is still acceptable to him. Just not fighting for a long time, being so exhausted all the time, is also a heavy pressure on the Orc Empire.

Logistical problems not only plagued the Alpha Kingdom, but also the Orc Empire.

During the battle, there are still corpses from both sides that can be used as supplies. When they are free, they rely solely on the rear to provide supplies.

In order to ensure logistical supply, a large number of cattle and sheep were being slaughtered continuously. He saw this and was anxious in his heart.

These are the most precious means of production for each tribe. If they are all slaughtered here, life will not be easy in the future.

If the war is victorious and a large amount of wealth is plundered, they can also rely on smuggling trade to obtain supplies from the human race.

If the war is lost, a large-scale food crisis will break out, and internal fighting for survival resources will be extremely fierce. Whether the Orc Empire can survive is still unknown.

"Your Majesty Xiong Emperor, the more times this happens, the more patient we must be.

Everyone has experienced how difficult the Alpha Kingdom's defense line is. With the current strength of the empire, it is simply unrealistic to attack the enemy's defense line by force.

Our pressure is great, and the enemy's pressure is even greater. A group of noble lords who have lost their fiefdoms will put pressure on the enemy commander on our behalf, forcing him to lead his troops out to fight us.

If nothing else goes wrong, when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it will be time for a decisive battle between the two sides.

Without the protection of the city, the difficulty of defeating the enemy has dropped by more than one level. "

Duke Daniel explained coldly.

The battlefield is ever-changing and it is impossible to follow the plan. The enemy did not play their cards according to the routine and did not fight with them in the seven provinces of northern Xinjiang. The original battle plan would naturally change.

Hudson's strategic contraction not only preserved the vitality of the kingdom, but also planted the seeds of a decisive battle.

If the noble lords of the seven provinces of Northern Xinjiang want to regain their lost territories, they must defeat the Orc Empire on the battlefield.

"Daniel, your analysis is good. The enemy does want to fight us, but the time is unknown.

Judging from the current signs, Alpha Kingdom should have changed its coach. Everyone has fought against Hudson, and there is absolutely no trace of this guy's use of troops.

With his position in the Alpha Kingdom's army, it is possible to temporarily suppress the voice of the main war faction and wait for a year and a half to wait for the situation of the mainland war to become clear before fighting us decisively.

Just because the Alpha Kingdom can afford it does not mean that the Empire can afford it too. Although the elven army has moved south, judging from the current situation, the alliance is still at a disadvantage.

If the human race wins the continental war, everyone should know what will happen next.

The Empire can defeat an Alpha Kingdom, but cannot defeat an Alpha Kingdom backed by the Terran Alliance.

In recent days, Mossi troops have also begun to gather towards the border. The total number of troops deployed on the front line is estimated to be no less than 250,000.

Considering the relationship between the Alpha Kingdom and the Principality of Moxi, it is not surprising that these armies suddenly join the war when the war enters a critical moment. "

Behemoth Emperor Alex said with a sad look on his face.

His military command ability is not very good, but his political talent is quite good. The ability to maintain the position of the orc royal family when the Behemoth clan's vitality was severely damaged relied on political means.

In a time of great strife, one cannot limit one’s gaze to one place, but must look at the overall situation.

The war in the northern continent is only one of the factors that affects the outcome of the war. What really determines the fate of the orcs is the outcome of the continental war.

"Your Majesty Behemoth, please forgive me for my inability to win or lose the war on the mainland!

The empire's strength is no longer at its peak, and all we can do is take care of the present.

As an imperial soldier, what you have to do is: defeat the Alpha Kingdom at the minimum cost and preserve the empire's foundation on the prairie.

The game of continental war is no longer something that the empire can participate in. Instead of extravagantly hoping to intervene in the mainland war, it is better to hope that there will be problems within the human race and give up supporting the restoration of the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland! "

Duke Daniel replied forcefully.

Once war is linked to politics, it will be a burden for the commander-in-chief, but war cannot be separated from politics.

The combination of contradictions coming together would be a disaster for the current Orc Empire.

Anyone who talks about politics beyond the scope of his own strength is forcing himself to make trouble. War is cruel, and supporting roles are supporting roles. Forcibly adding drama will only appear nondescript.

…

Braving the scorching summer flames, reinforcements arrived on the front line. In fact, with the efficiency of Alpha Kingdom, the arrival time of reinforcements should not be so slow.

The delay in arriving until now is because Hudson sent people to train the recruiting troops for a month before letting the troops set off.

There is no other reason, it is all due to logistics. The difference in materials required between staying where you are to carry out military training and training on the front line in the North is not the slightest bit.

Although nobles from various places had trained their troops before, Hudson had no confidence in them. Especially the army of small nobles, the training is obviously not in place.

"After passing the order, all five recruiting regiments were dispersed and replenished into various units.

The five standing armies were merged into the Seventh Front Army, with me personally serving as the commander and used as the reserve force of the entire army. "

The unconventional order caused the generals to whisper among themselves, but they were frightened by Hudson's prestige and did not dare to directly oppose it.

There is precedent for recruiting legions as supplementary troops, and there is nothing controversial. The key is to leave five standing legions as reserves.

In previous wars, most of them went straight up. When the troops are insufficient, we ask for help from home. What is the reserve?

If we insist on talking about reserve force, then the legions directly under the escort headquarters should be counted as the reserve force of the entire army.

Generally speaking, when it is their turn to go into battle, it is the most dangerous time of the war.

Sometimes not expressing an opinion is a silent objection. I didn't jump out directly, mainly because I was afraid of being upset.

As well-known as Hudson's commanding ability is his trolling skills. Countless women were scolded by him and made them doubt their lives.

The high-ranking aristocratic officers were all shameless, and after suffering several losses, they all became smarter.

When encountering something that is incomprehensible, the first thing to do is not to jump out to refute, but to encourage others to do it.

When a group of smart people gathered together, a scene appeared in front of them.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? You're not following the order!"

Hudson immediately reprimanded.

There is no time to explain the reason. In the army, he just needs everyone to carry out orders. We are not specifically training generals. Whether they can understand why is not important at all.

"As you command, Marshal!"

The generals hurriedly replied.

Anyone who has followed Hudson knows the weight of "military orders like mountains". Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will now have grass growing on their graves.

No matter how noble his status is, it has no effect in front of this powerful marshal.

It doesn't work without being strong. These days, Hudson is also Alexander. A group of lords from Northern Xinjiang came to harass him from time to time, and all of them wanted to fight back.

The generals left one after another, and only Count Oran, who had a special relationship, stayed, obviously he had something to say.

"Your Excellency, is there anything else?"

Hudson asked confused.

My father-in-law is not the one who causes trouble. As a traditional nobleman, Earl Oran has always attached great importance to rules.

Don't spray, we don't have time
