King
Chapter 689 The tragic meeting
The sky was getting brighter and the battle had ended long ago, leaving only the messy ground of the Demon Crocodile Army's camp.
The disaster of the undead was suppressed, but the heavy casualties made the Demon Crocodile King unhappy.
Just as he was about to curse, he took it back when the words reached his lips.
The main generals are all on the frontline directing battles. Prime Minister Yudhoyono Susilo, who stayed behind, is a civilian official, and commanding battles is not his main job.
If we really want to hold people accountable, the Demon Crocodile King himself bears the greatest responsibility.
If he hadn't been worried and insisted on leading his guards to the front lines to join in the fun, the camp wouldn't be so empty.
"Marshal, the troops stationed in Yangguan County have not returned yet. There must be an accident on the road!"
The Demon Crocodile King asked nervously.
In the battle last night, the Demon Crocodile army lost nearly 30,000 troops, which was equivalent to a major defeat.
If something happens to the defenders of Yangguan County again and this rescue operation fails, it will be a complete failure.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!
Boyx is heading here with his troops. It is less than twenty miles away from us, so there will be no accident.
The delay until now was mainly to avoid the enemy's cavalry regiment.
Judging from the feedback, those human fools didn't notice our troops leaving! "
Marshal Kanter replied.
The retreat was not planned as planned, but communication remained open.
The night attack plan failed, and there was no point in rushing back. Naturally, safety came first.
The effect was very obvious. After going in a big circle, I evacuated smoothly.
If the enemy undead army hadn't entered the camp last night, causing heavy losses to the army, this layout would have been perfect.
The two armies successfully joined forces, and the strength of the Demon Crocodile Army once again returned to its peak, at least in terms of numbers.
"As long as you deceive the enemy!
No matter how powerful Hudson was with his troops, there was no guarantee that his men would be as powerful as him. It seemed that dividing his troops was the enemy's shortcoming.
It's a pity that the enemy's cavalry is too fast, otherwise taking advantage of this weakness will definitely cause them heavy losses! "
The Demon Crocodile King said angrily.
The Tiaoyangguan garrison came back, but he proposed it himself. Once the planned rendezvous is completed, his prestige in the army will definitely increase greatly.
At this time, the plan was aborted, and the Demon Crocodile King was immediately raised up, fearing that the evacuation would fail.
"Your Majesty, after the two armies successfully join forces, will our battle plan need to change?
Continuing to confront the human army is not a long-term solution.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. "
Prime Minister Susilo Susilo persuaded tactfully.
Although he is not the commander of the army, he still understands the situation in the army.
After a day and night of fighting, the casualties of the Demon Crocodile Army had reached an astonishing number.
The loss of nearly ten percent of the troops is a test for any army.
If it's just heavy losses, then that's it. The problem is that the enemy's losses are minimal!
There are no specific statistics, but based on the battlefield situation, the minimum battle loss ratio between the two sides is more than ten to one.
Various signs indicate that the probability of swallowing the enemy's troops is infinitely close to zero.
Even if you want to rely on the superiority of troops to encircle them, the enemy's cavalry can easily tear apart their blockade.
Once the troops are divided and encircled, the balance of forces between the two sides on the local battlefield is likely to be reversed.
"You mean that instead of fighting the enemy in a decisive battle, we will directly lead them to the territory of the Stonemen and look for opportunities to provoke a conflict between the two tribes?"
The Demon Crocodile King asked with concern.
It is their established strategy to draw the anti-human alliance into the war.
It's just that the initial strategy was to defeat the human army and break the myth that Hudson, the continent's number one general, was invincible, thereby triggering a new round of continental war.
The two sides fought in person and saw how powerful the enemy's army was. This optimism was immediately extinguished.
The main focus of the human army's camp is stability. No matter which direction they break through, they can't find an entry point.
It is also not advisable to lure the enemy out for a decisive battle. During the day, they have no confidence in dealing with the enemy's cavalry, and the enemy will not come out at all at night.
Now the competition between the two sides is patience. Whoever can't bear it first will suffer the loss.
"Yes, Your Majesty!
The best strategy has failed, and now we can only choose the middle strategy and give it a try.
The anti-human alliance is not monolithic. The stone humans do not have a high say in it, and offending them is nothing.
What's more, as long as the mainland war breaks out, they will not be able to decide the situation.
If the anti-human alliance does not want to be defeated, it must win the support of the inner earth races.
The passage to the inner earth world is definitely not limited to what it is now. When the time comes when we ask for a passage to the center of the earth, the elves will give it to us.
After regaining the strategic initiative, we can decide whether to continue participating in the mainland war or directly return to the inner earth world, depending on the development of the situation! "
Prime Minister Susilo Susilo said with great effort.
Theoretically, this situation is possible. But the prerequisite is that all parties follow their script.
It’s not that the Kingdom of Hesse doesn’t have elite troops, its main force happens to be stationed in the border areas.
If you want to enter the territory of the Stonemen, you must first cross the border defenders' defense zone.
If you are not careful, you will be attacked by two armies and start a group-killing dungeon.
While all the Demon Crocodile executives were hesitating, the ground suddenly trembled, and a familiar flag appeared in the sky.
The troops stationed in Yangguan County finally withdrew successfully.
It's just that after the recent struggles, this unit now looks a little embarrassed.
"Open the camp and let them in!"
The Demon Crocodile King ordered slightly excitedly.
It would be great if he could withdraw his troops. Deep down in his heart, he had made up his mind that as long as he could return to the inner world, he would definitely destroy the entire Giant Foot Centipede family.
The originally good situation was directly deceived and displaced by a pig teammate. No one could bear it.
When the devil crocodile soldiers in front stepped into the camp, the ground suddenly trembled violently. In an instant, the experienced Marshal Kanter realized that something was wrong.
"Oops, the enemy's cavalry has dispatched!"
As soon as the words fell, the mood of all the demon crocodiles present fell directly from the peak to the bottom.
The fact was just as they expected, the cavalry rushed directly into the marching team and started massacring them. In the blink of an eye, the long team was broken into pieces.
Even though the enemy had not found any trace of them, it was obvious that they had calculated the time and were waiting for this time to launch.
The first ray of dawn has already fallen, which is a good time for the cavalry to launch.
A quarter of an hour earlier, the sky was not bright enough for the cavalry to perform; a quarter of an hour later, a large number of devil crocodile soldiers had entered the camp, making it difficult to stage this shocking scene.
Witnessing one's own troops being massacred by the enemy, but unable to find a way to deal with it, the impact on the morale of the troops can be imagined.
"Send the order and let the First Legion go out to respond!"
Marshal Kanter ordered harshly.
No one can say whether it is worthwhile to use the most elite troops to intercept the enemy cavalry and save the remnant soldiers whose morale and morale have been severely damaged.
But as the commander-in-chief of the army, he must do something and cannot just watch the enemy's conspiracy succeed.
Playing massacre at the gate of the camp is not just a simple battle, but also affects the hearts of the Demon-Slaying Crocodile soldiers.
Encountering such a tragic mission, ordinary legions could only increase the enemy's record in the past, and only the most elite troops could hope to survive.
Tragic scenes continued to unfold, and it turned out that when infantry fought against cavalry, they were only risking their lives.
The first legion was elite, but the enemy's cavalry was also elite, and even had an extra war horse.
In panic, countless demon crocodile soldiers poured into the camp crazily.
What was originally a horse trap to deal with the cavalry suddenly became a place where many devil crocodiles died.
Even if the danger is discovered in advance, it is too late to avoid it. There were all the rebels behind, and the crocodiles rushed forward.
The tragic scene made the top leaders of the Demon Crocodile clan unable to bear to look directly at it.
If they didn't have some sense left, they would all be unable to help but rush out and fight with the enemy.
…
In the coalition camp, seeing the success of the cavalry raid, all the generals became eager to try.
"Marshal, the fighter plane has appeared!
The rebels have paved a safe passage for us, and we can follow their route directly into the enemy camp. We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! "
A middle-aged general said excitedly.
The arrival of the fighter plane was so unexpected. I originally thought that there would be a fierce confrontation for a while, but I didn't expect that the enemy itself would provide an opportunity.
“Don’t be anxious, now is not the time.
I saw that there were no demon crocodile soldiers blocking the cavalry. The fighting will they showed was no worse than our elites.
The chaos outside the enemy camp was caused by the troops they had withdrawn. They had been tormented in Yangguan County for several days, and the morale of the troops had dropped to the bottom.
In addition to these troops, the remaining demon crocodile army still has combat effectiveness.
Now for the decisive battle, even if we can defeat the enemy, we cannot swallow them! "
Hudson shook his head and objected.
If they really want to break through the enemy camp, the ones dispatched now will not be the cavalry legion, but the Warcraft legion.
However, it is easy to defeat the enemy, but difficult to eat the enemy.
How could more than half a million demon crocodiles be so easy to kill?
If the opponent's fighting spirit is stimulated, it is still unknown whether the pseudo-elite he leads can withstand the tragic casualties.
As time passed, the fighting continued, and more and more Demon Crocodile soldiers fell on the ground.
The First Army Corps, which was responsible for intercepting the cavalry, suffered more than 30% casualties, and was struggling to hold on with its willpower.
The demon crocodile soldiers who were running away like crazy had already completed their evacuation, but their supporting troops were entangled.
"Send the order and withdraw the troops!"
It was really puzzling that he gave up the opportunity to eat an elite enemy force, but the order still had to be carried out.
The cavalry wanted to retreat, and the devil crocodiles who persisted would not stop them.
Of course, they have no ability to stop it. Compared with the movement speed of cavalry, infantry is still far behind.
A battle came to an end, and the earth was dyed red with blood, which looked particularly strange in the sunlight.
Compared to the calmness of the coalition camp, the Demon Crocodile Camp was filled with howls.
A large number of wounded soldiers were brought back to the camp, and at the same time, pessimism was brought into the camp.
The defeated troops who fled back in embarrassment were even more negative emotion-producing machines, constantly publicizing the enemy's strength.
Superimposed on the real battlefield they saw before them, countless Demon Crocodile soldiers became pessimistic about the war.
The First Legion was an almost mythical existence among the Demon Crocodile Clan, but was directly disabled by the enemy on the battlefield.
"The cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom are really powerful, and the giant centipedes were defeated unjustly. If we hadn't been prepared in advance, we might have followed in their footsteps.
Orders were given to go down to bury pots and make rice, and the commanders of each legion immediately went down to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed without mercy! "
After sighing, Marshal Kanter decisively ordered.
There was a dazzling brilliance in his eyes. After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he finally found this feeling again.
The pressure that Hudson brought to him was unprecedented, but Marshal Kanter was not an ordinary person. The greater the pressure, the more it stimulated his fighting spirit.
The losses suffered in the previous battle were mainly caused by the asymmetry of information.
The abilities of the Demon Crocodile Clan were all known to the enemy, but they knew very little about the enemy's strength.
Most of the information obtained from the previous interrogation of the Hessian nobles was lagging behind or wrong.
It was a mistake in itself to deal with the human army in front of them in the same way as the Hessian army.
"Marshal, something bad is going on!
The water source was destroyed by the enemy, we..."
Before the officer who reported the message could finish his words, all the top officials of the Demon Crocodile changed their faces one after another.
Water is the source of life. If you don't drink it for a day, you will be thirsty to death. How can you continue to fight this battle?
"Order all water magicians in the army to immediately make a batch of water for emergency use.
Pass the order, from now on the whole army is forbidden to waste a drop of water.
In addition to cooking and cleaning wounds for the wounded, daily drinking water is provided according to quotas! "
Marshal Kanter ordered calmly.
Water magicians are rare in the inner earth world, but scarcity does not mean there are none.
The Demon Crocodiles were amphibious creatures in ancient times. However, after being defeated and retreating to the inner earth world, they lacked rivers and lakes to live in, so they slowly turned into land creatures.
No matter how things change, some of the bloodline genes left by our ancestors are still passed down.
Some of the Demon Crocodiles activated these talents and became water magicians.
Unfortunately, water resources are scarce in the inner earth world. There are only a few underground rivers, and there are not many resources for water magicians to practice.
Among the mages, it is a niche profession.
"As you command!"
…
Watching the officer who sent the order leave, a group of senior members of the Demon Crocodile looked at Marshal Kanter expectantly, hoping to find a solution.
The mage's creation of water can only relieve urgent needs.
To supply the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, natural water sources must be obtained.
"It seems that this is a trap designed by the enemy, just waiting for us to sneak into it. From the moment we set up camp, we fell into the trap.
The battles ahead are just mazes deliberately set up by the enemy to confuse us.
The real challenge begins now!
The undead army last night came not to attack our camp, but to attack the water source of the army.
A large number of undead creatures are crossing the border. Even if the enemy does not attack the water source, we dare not drink it.
As the overlord of the continent, it is entirely possible that the human race has some insidious methods that we are not aware of.
We can no longer stay here forever. Even if we can solve the water problem, we cannot fight the enemy on the battlefield chosen by them.
If I guess correctly, the enemy will take advantage of the cavalry to cut off our connection with the outside world.
Then we will die of sleepiness, starvation, and thirst! "
After speaking, Marshal Kanter turned his attention to the Demon Crocodile King.
It was time to make strategic decisions again. As the commander of the army, he could not decide the future fate of the Demon Crocodile clan alone.
"Marshal, implement the backup plan!
Hudson's use of troops is really too vicious, and we don't know how many vicious methods will be used in the future. We can't sit still and wait for death. "
The Demon Crocodile King said in a low tone.
It is impossible to fight a war in which the enemy is calculating the whole process.
Being able to persist until now without major mistakes is because Marshal Kanter has strong enough adaptability.
A commander with a slow response would probably be working in a daze to solve the problem of water sources at this moment, not knowing that the enemy had planned on them long ago.
After figuring this out, all the demon crocodiles were too lazy to continue struggling and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Whoever is interested in taking the title of the number one general in mainland China will take it. They are not prepared to attack it anyway.
