Lord of War

109. The layout of Hella

A group of cavalry galloped quickly across the grassland, and the deafening roar was enough to make people a few kilometers away think it was an earthquake.

A large amount of smoke and dust filled the air, and the shadows that covered the sky showed that this was a large-scale cavalry unit.

From the smoke and dust, a rider suddenly accelerated and rushed out of the yellow mist ahead.

This is a burly and strong half-orc with fluffy golden hair, who seems to have the blood of the lion tribe. He was riding a tall black giant wolf, holding a broadsword like a saber in his right hand, and holding the reins of the giant wolf tightly with his left hand. With a light shake, the giant wolf accelerated forward again, and then chased He got up behind the cavalry who was running desperately in front of him, and swung his knife down.

The wind of the knife howled!

The cavalryman seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and when there was no time to send, he rolled over and fell off the horse, avoiding the fatal blow.

The saber slashed down, and the horse, which was running forward out of fear, didn't even have time to whine before it was chopped into two pieces by the half-orc.

The rider who turned over and fell off his horse was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His face was resolute and calm, and he didn't show any panic because of this incident. The knight's sword clenched in his right hand also showed his constant attack* *. Looking at the back of the half-orc at this moment, the middle-aged man let out a roar, sprinted a few steps, raised his sword and slashed towards the back of the half-orc.

But before he hit the opponent, a bright knife light shot out obliquely.

The middle-aged man's upper body flew up, spinning in mid-air, blood and internal organs splashed all around.

At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he only saw another half-orc passing by his half body with a knife, and further back, there were more half-orc cavalry advancing rapidly.

This half-orc cavalry unit riding a huge war wolf charged forward with an astonishing momentum.

The roar of the earth like an earthquake was the sound made by this group of cavalry when they charged.

In front of them was a human cavalry unit that was fleeing. However, although this human cavalry unit was fleeing, the formation did not appear to be in a panic, but instead maintained the formation as much as possible. There are even some cavalry from time to time who take the initiative to break away from the large forces to block the enemy or make roundabout counterattacks. They seem to advance and retreat in an orderly manner during the march, obviously the backbone is still there.

But how this human cavalry unit launched a counterattack and cut off the rear, the result has not changed in the slightest. All those who dared to resist were killed by this half-orc cavalry army.

Every battle is a knife.

The knife fell, neither looking back nor looking at the result, just charging forward and chasing.

As if this human cavalry unit was not completely destroyed, they would never stop chasing.

The pursuit battle stretched for more than ten kilometers. It's not a big deal for the energetic half-orcs and the tough wolves, but it's a great consumption and pressure for the human cavalry. Not to mention that in order to stop the desperate pursuit of this half-orc troop, the human cavalry troop still needs to be cut off, so after a pursuit battle, there are only less than 4000 to 5000 people left in this human cavalry troop.

You know, at the place where the two armies are fighting, this human cavalry unit has a scale of 50,000 people.

At that time, the half-orc cavalry unit they faced was only more than 20,000. It's just that during the ensuing battle, the half-orc troops were continuously joined by reinforcements. From hundreds to thousands, from thousands to thousands, a half-orc cavalry force with a size of more than 50,000 finally gathered.

At this time, the cavalry troops on the human side finally suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

As a result, in this pursuit battle, the cavalry on the human side lost more than 10,000 cavalry. For these enemies who dared to counterattack and obstruct, the half-orc cavalry had no intention of keeping alive. Its killed on the spot. And as long as the human side dares to keep people behind, it doesn't matter if it's harassment or side attack. In the half-orc cavalry unit, there will always be troops that separate and go out to encircle and hunt them down, and they will not return until they have wiped out all the enemies.

This is a blow to the morale of the human army, which is completely conceivable.

Seeing the heavy casualties, the leader obviously didn't dare to let the troops cut off the rear. Can only run desperately. However, his eyes still shone with a calm and bright light. Under such adversity, he still did not despair or give up, and even looked confident, which was obviously a conspiracy.

"A group of beasts!" The leading middle-aged knight's voice was harsh, but he didn't dare to stop at all. Instead, he continued to urge the horse to gallop.

He could feel the exhaustion of the horse, because the running speed was obviously beginning to decline, and white foam began to form on the horse's muzzle and nose, which was a typical example of severe physical exhaustion. For war horses, running wildly to this extent is basically useless. Without retraining and adjustment for more than three to five months, such war horses can only be retired to serve in the second-line troops, and they must be stopped immediately to let the war horses Rest, if you continue to run, you may even exhaust the horse to death.

But at this time, do these cavalry dare to stop?

Obviously impossible.

Several exclamations suddenly sounded. The knight looked back and found that the horses of his subordinates had been severely exhausted. The horses fell heavily to the ground, only twitching. Do your best to protect yourself from being directly thrown to death. However, under the rush of the large army, it was impossible for anyone to take care of them. Even one of the unlucky ones was hit by one of his own just as soon as he got up, and then he never got up again.

Gritting his teeth, the leading knight turned his head resolutely, not daring to look at the fate of his subordinates.

Even if he thinks with his toes, he already knows what will happen.

Sure enough, after a dozen or so breaths, there were several screams.

Holding his breath, the knight finally saw the green forest gradually appearing in front of him as he ran wildly.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

As the distance from the green forest gets closer, the joy on the knight's face becomes stronger, but when he thinks that so many brothers have been sacrificed in this short run of more than ten kilometers, his face becomes ugly, and the anger in his heart also Significantly heavier.

"Scatter!" Almost exhausting all the strength in his body, he roared out the breath that had been suffocated in his heart, and the knight suddenly drew his sword out!

The cavalry troops quickly dispersed, and quickly diverted to both sides like water hitting a rock. And in this green forest like a reef, a troop rushed out at the same time, which was a troop that was completely different from the human cavalry troop: if it weren't for the fact that their goal was to chase the half-orcs behind the human cavalry troop. They even mistakenly think that this is an ambush army of the enemy, because this army is also a group of orcs!

However, their races are obviously much more mixed, including the Lion Clan, Bear Clan, and Tiger Clan. In addition to half-orcs, there are also a large number of pure orcs. Just looking at the size of this army, it is obvious that the strength will not be less than 30,000, and although the ethnic groups are mixed and the weapons are different, it does not feel like a mob, but more like a high-spirited army. Condensed master of a hundred battles.

One of the elite troops of the Kalosa Tribal United Nations. Beast Legion!

Seeing the enemy reinforcements rushing out of the green forest, the eyes of the fluffy-haired half-orc of the Lion tribe in the lead lit up, and a heroic smile appeared on his face: "Good time!"

After all, once again, he accelerated and rushed out, rushing fiercely towards the enemy's central army.

Affected by it, the cavalry behind him also let out excited cries and accelerated their charge. However, not all the troops rushed towards the central army. The flanks on both sides of the giant wolf cavalry troop separated a large number of small troops, chasing and killing the human cavalry troop that was rounding around and preparing to outflank the attack. Like the previous pack of wolves biting tactics, just bite their flanks and tails.

And the giant wolf cavalry in the middle. Then there will be a fierce collision with the Myriad Beast Legion.

When the giant wolf rushed to bite, the warrior on the wolf's back suddenly jumped up, and then fell into the enemy's formation. When the knife was opened and closed, blood was sprayed.

At this time, the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Corps discovered that what they were dealing with was not an individual cavalry, but a tacit pair of warriors and giant wolves!

Without giving the Beast Legion time to stop, integrate and react, the berserk half-orc troops and their giant wolf partner easily tore a hole like a pair of scissors on the cloth.

A brutal fight. Since it broke out completely!

...

A little farther away, the faces of several generals who observed the battlefield turned pale.

One of the middle-aged men with a strong figure like a lion turned his head and glared at a middle-aged man, if not for the fact that they belonged to the alliance at this moment. I'm afraid that this middle-aged man will definitely be torn to pieces by this lion man on the spot. But even so, the anger on Lionman's face couldn't be appeased at all: "This is your tactic? This is your plan? What lures the enemy to go deep, what ambush circle, what's the result?...The result is to ruin the tribal alliance's three Ten thousand elite troops!?"

"Our loss is no less than yours!" A human officer who looked like an officer shouted in a deep voice, "We also lost 50,000 cavalry!"

"Don't compare your useless army with the elite of our tribe!" The middle-aged lion man roared furiously, the hair on his body almost stood on end. "That's Ten Thousand Beasts! Ten Thousand Beasts Legion! It's one of the most elite legions of our Kalosa Tribe! What you lost is just a cavalry unit that came from nowhere!"

"It's a shame that you dare to say that you are elite. The enemy has chased for nearly 14 kilometers. You have spent so much time here, but you can't beat a tired army!" The young officer retorted.

"Roar!" The lion man let out a roar, and several orcs and half-orcs who belonged to the Kalosa Tribal United also roared, but this move also aroused a fierce reaction from the human side, and the two sides were almost at the same time. Prepare all the weapons, and if there is any disagreement, we will fight first and then talk about it.

"Enough!" The middle-aged man who had been silent all this time roared in a deep voice, "I am the commander here! Are you planning civil strife?" After saying this, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the Lion: "General Lelinell, I know your heart is heavy, but this battle..."

"You know what!" the lion-man named Lelinel roared, "I told you as early as when the enemy cavalry launched their pursuit, I told you to immediately join the reserve team and cooperate with our beasts to immediately reinforce and stop the enemy Army. But what did you say? You said that you want to consume their physical strength, let them enter the ambush circle and finish them in one go! How many times have I reminded you, don’t judge us orcs and semis by your human physical strength Beastman, that's not something you can speculate on your own!... I will report this account to the leader of the tribe. Now I can't continue to accompany you so crazy. The beast army is the elite of my tribe and must not be completely wasted here!"

"You are breaking your promise!"

"Whatever you say!"

Leline turned around and left quickly. At the same time, the order to let the beast troops retreat was issued immediately. The Kalosa tribe's joint military force, which was originally acting as a reserve force, also immediately set off to rescue. As he also understands half-orc physique, he is very clear. Without sacrificing a group of insignificant reserve troops, it would be impossible for the Ten Thousand Beasts to escape the enemy's siege, and it is very possible that the entire army will be wiped out here.

Watching the people from the Kalosa Tribal United Nations leave quickly, and different orders were sent to the front line. The ambush circle and encirclement net that could still be maintained were finally declared a complete failure. In such a situation, the fighting wolf cavalry unit exploded with astonishing lethality, and the surrounding battle situation became even more tragic. The human side retreated due to the chaos and the United Nations reinforcements of the Kalosa tribe. The number of casualties soared to a terrible level in just a few seconds.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man looked at the battlefield ahead with a pale face, and finally managed to utter a few words from his mouth.

"The Third and Fourth Cavalry Legions..."

"Give up." The middle-aged man said coldly, "There is no way to save them now, and our continued investment in troops is just a sacrifice for no reason. We can only see if they are lucky enough..." He said this with difficulty. Finally, the middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly. He took a last look at the tragic battlefield, then turned and left resolutely, but muttered two words: "Hella!"

A trace of blood slowly flowed from his lips.

...

It is different from watching the battlefield situation in the ambush circle. In a tent located tens of kilometers away from the final battlefield of the Giant Wolf Cavalry, Hela was looking at the map laid out on the long table with a calm face. A dozen circles of different sizes have been circled on it with red and blue ink pens. Each circle is inserted with small flags representing different meanings and varying in number. Some circles are small but inserted There are more than a dozen small flags, and some circles are very large but only three or four small flags are inserted.

A messenger ran into the tent at this time and shouted loudly: "Report to Lord Hela, just received the front-line information, the Giant Wolf Cavalry Legion led by General Patu has won a complete victory. The legion suffered heavy casualties, and it is initially estimated that the number of troops will be reduced by at least 14,000; Robin's third, fourth, and fifth armies of the Knight Kingdom were wiped out!"

"Has the Myriad Beast Legion of the Karosa Tribal United Nations been hit hard?...Then they will probably change their tactics." Hela glanced at the map, then reached out and pulled out the four sticks plugged in the west of the map. banner. At the same time, use a blue ink pen to make a circle on the map, enclose five small red circles and three small blue circles together, then draw a cross on each of the small red circles, and then pull it out in one go. More than a dozen flags in the big blue circle. "What about the situation in the northeast?"

"There is no news yet." The intelligence soldier bowed his head and said.

"Send an order to Patu to get rid of all the enemy troops within 100 kilometers around." Hela withdrew his gaze from the map on the table, "The order is within two days. Tell him, I don't ask about the process, I just want the result , what he wants to do is his business."

"Yes!" The orderly nodded. Then exit the tent immediately.

"Sigley!" Hela's voice sounded again.

A mature and charming woman walked into the tent: "Master Hella, what are your orders?"

"Let Burrowe get ready to attack and set off to meet Patu tomorrow morning, but tell him that he can only join Patu to rescue him at dusk on the third day, even if Patu's entire army is wiped out before that." He must stay with me." Hela thought for a while, and then drew three small circles on the map with a red ink pen, but these three small circles were all in line with the big basket she had just drawn The circles partially overlap, "After converging for rescue, they will wipe out all the enemy troops within their line of sight, and then go straight to the Marquis of Hagrid. They must take the entire Marquis of Hagrid within the fifth day after the rendezvous, and complete Defensive control... Similarly, I don't ask about the process, I only want the result."

"Then, if General Patu's army is completely wiped out..."

"Tell Bo Luowei, let him ask for good luck, no matter what the final result of Patu's army is, he only has five days to complete the task." Hela said in a cold voice, "I don't have time to spend any more here, It has been a month, and my layout has been basically completed, so if my layout is disrupted at this time, he knows the result."

"Yes." Higley shivered subconsciously, then nodded and left.

Since a month ago. After Hela was promoted to the head of the strategy department of the Void Empire, and officially became the four giants of the Void Empire, Sigley knew that Master Hela had undergone great changes, especially murderous.

Yes.

Since Sean disappeared. It has been two months.

And the Void Principality officially announced its promotion to the empire a month ago, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and it didn't even go through the process of greeting the whole world and making them mentally prepared. After officially announcing the upgrade to the empire, Cecilia, who now officially took over the position of the acting emperor of the empire, asked Robin to stop the aggression against the Principality of Garrod by the United Kingdom of the Knights and the Kalosa Tribe. After this order was rejected, Cecilia simply declared war on these two countries.

At the same time, the person in charge of the commander-in-chief of this battlefield was Hela who was transferred from the wild land battlefield.

Together with William, who became the head of the Void Empire's Ministry of Defense, he controls one-half of the Void Empire's army command.

Diana became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Void Empire, and Neil was the Minister of Government Affairs of the Void Empire. These two were in charge of the diplomacy and all government affairs of the entire Void Empire.

Since then, the four giants of the Void Empire have been formally established.

And Cecilia, also known as Queen Phoenix of the Void Empire, has full power to rule the entire Void Empire temporarily.

No one hid Sean's disappearance. But it was precisely because of the disappearance of Xiao En, the former Grand Duke of the Void Principality, but the entire Void Principality did not fall into any civil strife and disputes, that made the people of the entire Miracle Continent realize the horror of the Void Empire.

But what is even more frightening is that after the appearance of Queen Phoenix, the Millennium Covenant Empire also issued a statement immediately: They will advance and retreat with the Void Empire!

This is the first time that the two empires have formed an alliance on the Miracle Continent.

This sign has also made countless people finally realize clearly that the era of order in the Miracle Continent controlled by the Peace Council has finally come to an end.

Before the new order was born, the whole world finally became chaotic.

But countless people have discovered that there is something hidden in this chaos. There are also countless opportunities!

But with countless opportunities, it also means that there are countless dangers.

Just as Higli felt that since Hela was officially established as the Big Four of the Void Empire, her murderous nature was much greater, but she didn't know it. Hella's pressure is now countless times greater than before.

Watching Higley leave, Hela frowned even tighter: "Invasion, feint, lure, ambush... are really boring tactics. Now my layout is basically completed, and only the Marquis of Hagrid is left." The final battle of the leader is over, so what tactics will you use? Uh, huh... It should be to divide the troops into three counterattacks to prevent me from entering the Marquis of Haig. The lone army went deep, and finally launched a decisive battle with me with the Marquis of Hagrid as an encirclement point..."

"As you wish, I will let Patu continue to make a fuss over there. The counterattack and encirclement of the three-way army is estimated to have no less than one hundred thousand troops." Hila tapped his hand on the table, lost in thought, "The tribal strength of Borowe is about 40,000. If Patu follows my instructions, the current strength should be around 40,000. Then after three days of persistence, there should be more than 15,000 people. At this time, Burrowe entered from the enemy's rear..."

"Sigley!" Hela shouted again.

"Master Hella." Higley hurried into the tent, "I have already given an order to General Burrowe."

"not enough."

"What?" Higley didn't understand.

"Let Hog Hogg set off with Burrowe, the enemy's strength will be about 100,000, and the follow-up will be around 50,000. Burrowe and Patu alone can't defend the Marquis of Hagrid. ...You tell the two of them that after they take down the Marquis of Hagrid, they must hold me for a month, and I will not send any troops to support them during this period."

"Yes... yes..." Higley nodded, then quickly turned and left.

"That's right." Hela said again.

"Yes." Higley who was parked at the entrance of the tent turned around.

"Tell them, if the enemy withdraws and breaks up, don't worry about them, just go straight up. But... the action must be fast. If the pursuit distance exceeds three miles, don't pursue it, especially don't enter the valley or the like. terrain."

"Understood." Higley nodded, then quickly turned and left.

Hela continued to look at the map, but this time her eyes were no longer on the area in the north, but on the northeast area on the map, Fort Garrod and the surrounding area.

"One month..." Hela pulled her hair lightly, "But I only need ten days. By the time they find out that it's a trap, Garrod Fortress will have been liberated...but nearly a hundred thousand troops will go The bait, well, it seems that my heart is getting stronger and stronger now... But it doesn't matter, the Kalosa Tribal United is now much stronger than the Robin Knights, so for the final victory, the Robin Knights will definitely Find a way to weaken the power of the Kalosa Tribal United Nations. Tsk... people's hearts."

...

Just as Hela continued her strategic layout and issued orders for mobilization and instructions, the two sides of the Robin Knight Kingdom and the Kalosa Tribal United met again.

The two of them had a heated discussion about the loss caused by the wrong command of the Ten Thousand Beasts Legion. However, because the Knights of Robb were not strong in the first place, they could only make another concession on the compensation agreement. Although this made them feel annoyed, facing the increasingly powerful Void Empire, the two sides gradually felt that they could not resist, and they did not really want to break up the alliance like this, so while Robin made concessions, Carol Sarah didn't push her boundaries either.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Our Robin Cavalry Kingdom will send troops to lure the enemy ahead, and we will send three armies to attack the enemy army, and we will directly eat up this giant wolf cavalry regiment when they are in the victory and have not had time to send follow-up troops. "It was still the general who made a mistake in the previous command and said, "I have learned my lesson this time and know the actual combat effectiveness of the half-orc army, so I will never make the previous mistakes again."

"You can have this, so how do you need the cooperation of the Kalosa Tribal United Nations?"

"After we eat the enemy's giant wolf cavalry regiment, the enemy will definitely provide support and actions. At that time, we hope you will send a troop to reinforce it." The middle-aged man said, "Today's tactics It has been proved that the enemy can't tell the difference between bluffing and luring the enemy. As long as they see a rout, they will keep chasing them. So I think this tactic is still usable, but this time to make it more realistic, I plan to invite you to cooperate with us to play an internal strife and split drama."

"oh?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's just that I prepared a trap, which is located in Rhodes Canyon. After the enemy's reinforcements appear, we hope that your Kalosa United Nations troops will intercept them. Then at this time we will pretend to be unable to reinforce due to mistakes. At that time, you only need to behave Just express your anger and lead the troops to retreat, we will be responsible for luring the enemy troops to the canyon, and then we will attack back and forth."

"Shall we sacrifice a troop?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "It's impossible."

However, unlike his awe-inspiring expression, what he was thinking at this time was to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the power of the Kalosa Tribal United Nations, so as to increase the bargaining chip for his own side.
