Chapter 417: The Great Battle (5)

The killing sound of Ronnie’s city head shook the sky, twenty thousand and a half beast workers "followed;
The soldiers and militiamen of the Nian's Army firmly guarded the city wall. Once there was a crisis on the wall, the Eastern Seventh Army and the Eastern Tenth Army who were on standby under the city quickly rushed to support them.
The battle has been going on for four days. In this siege battle, the patriarchs of the orcs were very cleverly dividing their troops into three parts, taking turns, attacking the walls of Kroni day and night.
The defenders of the city did not even have a chance to breathe, and did not leave the city for several days. The Seventh Army and the Tenth Army have been ordered by Lorraine to raise elites, even if the soldiers on the city are exhausted. Unbearable, Lorraine did not replace them with the new force, but only sent a part of the leak.
Fortunately, the strength of the orcs' attacks was not high. At first glance, it was known that it was only a harassment and restraint. Every time the orcs were sent just rushed towards the city wall, after the attacks of the city soldiers were all unfolded, they hulled away.
Therefore, the fighting intensity of the soldiers on the wall is not high. So even though they are already exhausted, they can still live with support.
But what makes everyone angry is that those half-orcs are like old fried dough sticks that have been in Ruman’s government for 30 years. They all know that "high-profile work, low-key life, this is universal. truth.
Before each attack, the momentum is full. Even the tortoise has to move. Especially every night, they will sway an attack.
Get out of your formation, shout loudly, shout desperately...
Before they took the battle, they were already called "Foil Anti-Yingtian", as if they had used the strength to feed themselves, but when the two sides were fighting together, the human soldiers opened their bows. Putting two arrows slightly, they Lixuan fled back like frightened rabbits.
At the beginning, a few warriors who were admired by everyone really rushed to the city to fight with the human soldiers, but afterwards, all the guys whose brains were kicked by donkeys were slaughtered by the human soldiers. The guys have become much smarter.
No matter how instigated the chief priests. For example, "After the heroic death, how many virgins are waiting for you in heaven" "Everyday Jiulin Meat Pond" "There is no unevenness everywhere, and there is no place to keep warm.
But everyone saw these chiefs and priests blowing wildly to send you to death, while dragging the beautiful widows and orphans left by the warriors who died in the war into their tents, taking care of them carefully and thoughtfully.
Only then did they discover these bosses and those of the human world. "Lecturer of the legendary MLM course. There is no essential difference, and there is no such thing as cannon fodder at the moment.
If it weren't for the good news promised by the Scorpion King, maybe everyone would have become a mess, even on a certain night. It's not impossible to pick up a knife and play the traditional "down-kill" of the orcs.
Although the chiefs also instigated the soldiers to attack, deep down, they also knew the benefits of preserving strength. Only with a gun can you have a position, if the little brothers in your hand fight it out. Who still thinks you are a leek?
Therefore, they also tensed their bows and slowly released their arrows, and sent troops to deal with it every day, so as to prevent the soldiers from being bored. Morale was lost. Furthermore, Vichin and Torek will be held accountable in the future of the province.
But nevertheless. The number of this orc troops is too large.
They have been continuously attacking in turns, and the soldiers on the tired city’s guards are also exhausted.
Seeing it in his eyes, the officer below suggested several times that Lorraine should withdraw the soldiers from the city for a day and let the two regiments that had been under the city replace them, but Lorraine denied them.
Lorraine knew in his heart that when he led the army northward, he would become a big magnet, attracting all the orcs surrounding the city of Krone.
The two legions had a total of only 13,000 people, plus the half-orcs and cavalry transferred from the Nian's legion, which meant a total of six to seven thousand people, but they were also sent to the tail by nearly 100,000 half-orcs.
If you don't have enough physical strength, you can force the march all the way away from the trail of the half-orcs, and be entangled by the half-orcs, even if Lorraine can take three of them with a man, it will eventually be annihilated.
The soldiers in the city of Krone threw a log full of spikes from the top of the city. The log swept across the city wall and easily interrupted the orcs' simple ladder. The orcs above flew out, howling and falling to the ground.
The soldiers in the city slowly pulled the logs up the wall, and the others lifted the stones and bows and arrows. Attack the orcs gathered under the city.
The orcs couldn't resist it, and quickly squeezed backwards to retreat. The camp of the orcs in the distance also sounded the retreat horn at the right time.
The half-orcs under the city had long been tired of this kind of siege warfare like a child's play, which was obviously filling a bottomless pit with the lives of half-orcs warriors. Every time I went to the city, although the voice was quite loud, he held up his shield and waited under the city of Colony. He just didn't want to climb on the wall, and when the retreat trumpet sounded, he immediately ran back with oil on the soles of his feet.
Lorraine looked at the half-orcs who ran in front of him once, and pouted.
General Larry walked up to Lorraine, all in smoke. Looking at the half-orcs who fled, he said, "It seems that the half-orcs are impatient. This time they withdrew before the official fight."
Lorraine shook his head and said, "Tu Lao said...it's the old man. If I don't have the skills, I still have to learn what strategies and tactics we have. I was worried about the poor performance in the past four days. I couldn't see it. I should know it. There is a problem. I can't feint, and these half-orcs are really too lazy every time."
General Larry nodded and said, "Yes, if they surrounded but didn't fight, maybe we would be even more confused."
Lorraine gave a hum, turned his head and glanced at the city of Krone, and said, "The cities below have been notified." General Larry said in a deep voice, "Ji has already given them to adults, so is it still a bit too risky." Shall we let the cities conduct a detailed investigation first to confirm the strength of the orcs? "
Lorraine shook his head and said confidently: "Don't worry, all the orcs on the border are already in front of us, and there are no other orcs activities within three hundred miles. Those cities will be safe.
When the time is up, we should also act and call a meeting with the officers. "
Seeing Lorraine's firmness, General Larry no longer objected, and saluted: "Yes."
Although the orcs were not allowed to touch the city wall for several days, the city's defense was very successful, but the officers and soldiers in the city of Cronney were not at ease.
The half-orcs suddenly surrounded the city of Krony. This was something that no one of the soldiers expected. Originally, everyone hit two of you like this. month. They were all used to it. Unexpectedly, the half-orcs suddenly put on a posture of ruining the boat and headed straight for the city of Krony.
And through these four days of fighting, the officers and soldiers have also seen that these half-orcs are not working hard. Every time it came boom and boom, and I hadn't gotten to it, the Orcs walked away again, just tossing the people in Cronie City to sleep deprivation.
It was like punching in the empty space, which made the soldiers in Krone City feel very angry. But there is no way to take these half-orcs again.
After Lorraine ordered the summoning, the captains of the various legions quickly rushed to the headquarters.
In the meeting room, Lorraine and the three legion commanders were already waiting there with solemn expressions, which made the officers who participated in the meeting feel nervous. During the siege of the past few days, Lorraine had never been nervous. I even laughed at these orcs in the city for not being dedicated at all.
After seeing the crowd, Lorraine knocked on the table. Shen Sheng said: "Everyone, today we received a bad news that the city of Neidel was attacked and surrounded by 20,000 orcs."
After Lorraine said this sentence. The room suddenly became silent. The officers' eyes widened. I couldn't believe the news from Lorraine. To the Naian people, it was like a bolt from the blue.
He is playing lively on the front line. The old nest in the back was actually cut out, which usually means. This war itself has failed.
For the Ny'an soldiers who fought blood on the front line of Nydal City, it was more than just a province. It is the home of many officers and soldiers here. More importantly, Nydal City belongs to Nian.
For the army on the front line, Neidel is the central point for coordinating the logistics of the province, collecting materials and transferring them to the front line.
There are a total of more than 40,000 Nyan soldiers on the southern border. So many people need to eat every day and require military salary every month, as well as soldiers’ weapons and armor, various ordnance, horses, and vehicles.
These huge and varied supplies are all listed in Nydal City. First recruited from the various cities of Nian'an, and then transported to the front line according to demand, and handed over to the soldiers, and the soldiers rely on these food equipment to fight against the orcs.
Once the city of Nydal was besieged. Apart from other things, it is a big problem to ask whoever wants the materials needed by the front-line cities.
At the same time, there was also the chaos inside Nyan. Lorraine led the soldiers outside, and all his energy was spent on the half-orcs on the border. Now the entire province of Nyan is managed by Catherine and Adai who are based in Nydal City. child.
As soon as Nidal was surrounded, the orders could not be conveyed, and the cities below would naturally panic at a loss.
Lorraine waited quietly for these officers to digest the shocking news, and then said with a serious face: "Tell me your opinion."
An officer frowned and said, "In this way, the strange behavior of the orcs outside the city can be understood."
Lorraine gave an "um", nodded, and said: "The orcs surrounding our city of Krony have probably already known this news and deliberately wanted to trap us here. Look at their actions in the past few days. The intention is very high. Obviously. Just to hold them back and drag them down."
"Then what to do?" Another officer said anxiously, "There are seven or eighty thousand orcs outside the city. If we don't solve them, we can't go north to rescue."
Lorraine and the three commanders looked at each other. The voice said: "That's right. First, the city of Nidal must be saved. That is the foundation of our Nian. There is no room for loss. If Nidel is lost, whether it is the Emperor or the Grand Duke Julian. Rao. No way for us."
Thinking of the two members of the royal family trapped in the city of Nydal, the officers of the brother mentioned trembled violently. They were the future emperor and the only princess of the royal family.
The people of the Eastern Legion knew better about the temper of their big boss, Grand Duke Julian. If his precious daughter and son hurt a little hair, according to the temper of the blood-handed butcher, Lorraine would be eaten raw first. Then kill the entire grassland into a desert.
"But you can't just take people straight to Nidal City," Lorraine said categorically, "In that case, before we go to Nidel City to make a reservation, we will be bitten by these seventy or eighty thousand orcs, right. If I want to save the city of Nedel, I must first solve these orcs outside the city."
The officers looked at Lorraine with different expressions, some were unbelievable, and some were puzzled.
One of the issues Ai Ai said: "But, the Governor, there are 70,000 half-orcs outside. We have less than 20,000 troops at full capacity. My lord, let's 10,000 and 20,000 half-orcs. We are determined If we can win, let's beat 20,000 orcs and 40,000, the situation is hard to say.
Lorraine nodded. This situation is not one plus one equals two. A generation of arrogance, Napoleon Napoleon once brought tens of thousands of little brothers. The invasion was under the rule of the Mamluk military feudal group in Egypt. On the open sand near the Great Pyramid of the West of the Nile, the French army and Mamluk cavalry fought in front of the gravestones of several old guys. The famous battle of the pyramids.
The Mamluk cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the French army won a big victory, and even later happily blasted off the beard of the Sphinx.
After the war, Napoleon compared the two armies and left a famous conclusion: "Two Mamluk cavalry can definitely defeat three French cavalry, and a hundred French cavalry can compete with a hundred Mamluk cavalry. Most of the three hundred French cavalry can defeat three hundred Mamluk cavalry, and a thousand French cavalry can always defeat 1,500 Mamluk cavalry."
Although Lorraine faced a different situation than Napoleon. But war has never been a simple numerical comparison. Ten thousand to 20,000 is naturally different from the difficulty of 100,000 to 200,000.
Lorraine stood up and pulled. "Swipe" opened the curtain behind him, pointed to the map on the wall and said, "So we must use limited forces and rely on all means to win with less.
The Nyan Army will continue to stay in Kroni, defending the entire city, the Eastern Seventh Army and the Eastern Tenth Army, as well as some cavalry units in the city. Will follow me to the north of the city today, lure the orcs to follow us and wait for the opportunity to destroy them. "
After the morning meeting was over, the news of the siege of Nydel was officially made public, and all the soldiers and civilians in Cronney were dumbfounded when they heard the news. The half-orcs' raid this time revealed what mankind is accustomed to know about half-orcs, and the people in the city sighed: The gang of mindless savages have become so smart.
Then everyone worried about the fate of Colony City and Neidel City.
Following the definite news, Governor Lorraine was preparing to take two legions and rush to Nedl to rescue him. A legion was left to defend the city of Krone.
Although many knowledgeable people think that this approach is terrible, and it may not be able to solve the siege of Neidel. On the contrary, it may be possible to accompany the two legions on the way north. In the end, the city of Krone was quickly defeated by superior forces. The Orcs captured.
But Lorraine's attitude and determination were also the best choice for the soldiers below and the people in the city.
Catherine and Leo are trapped in the city of Nedel. The members of the Eastern Legion were eager to rescue their eldest lady and the young master. The people of Colony also knew that Nedel was indispensable, but if it was for Nedel City, they would be compensated by the Colony. On it, they will never agree.
Among the three legions in the city, Lorraine took two and kept one, which happened to be everyone's wish.
As for the final victory or defeat, for these civilians and big-headed infantry, anyway, the governor above has to worry about it. They just need to do their own thing well.
All the soldiers had a big meal at noon that day. After noon, the soldiers of the two legions quickly lined up inside the city gate to get out.
In order to ensure the speed of the march, Lorraine ordered the troops to leave their carts and carry as many mules and horses as possible to carry the weight. For this reason, the horses in the city of Krone were scraped out.
Lorraine and the two army commanders checked the team from back to front, and finally came to the city gate to bid farewell to General Larry.
Vera tied her long head into a ponytail. Putting on a strong samurai costume, he followed Lorraine.
General Larry looked at Vera who had been walking around Lorraine in surprise, thinking that this innocent and lively girl was also a great mage, and he was relieved.
Lorraine put on his helmet ~EbookFREE.me~Looking at General Larry who was still worried, he smiled, patted the veteran on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, no one in this world can take me as a Pluto. Friends take advantage. Colony City will be handed over to you."
General Larry sighed, then looked at Lorraine with a smile, and said: "Please rest assured, your lord, there will be no loss in Colony City. I am here looking forward to your victorious return."
Vera laughed in Lorraine's ear unconsciously, and said: "When the young master knows what the almanac is, they have already called you the brother of Pluto."
Lorraine shook her hand and gave Vera a violent shudder. Said: "Talk more."
Vera said "Ouch", and then pursed her small pink mouth, her big watery eyes stared at Lorraine's mouth with dissatisfaction, and she didn't know what bad things Lorrain was talking about.
Lorraine and Vera mounted their horses, nodded to the two commanders waiting beside them, and said, "Get out."
The gate of Crony opened slowly. Lorraine flicked the rein, and rushed out of the gate. Behind him, two legions of soldiers started at the sound of commands and proceeded along the city of Crony. The highway to the north is fast.
