Chapter 2828 Where is the brother-in-law’s gift?
Liu Mang's army rested for a night, and most of them recovered their spirits.
The battlefield was not completely cleaned yesterday. Many soldiers continued to clean the battlefield, collecting corpses and collecting weapons.
Most of the weapons in the hands of Liu Mang's miscellaneous army were replaced with regular weapons to enhance their combat power.
A large number of supplies from the Orcs have been transported to the royal city one after another to support the frontline soldiers and civilians.
People from the royal city continued to send supplies to the military camp to supply the army.
A group of people are busy dismantling the trebuchets. These giant trebuchets are all built on the ground and cannot be moved at all. They can only be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere.
The trebuchet played a decisive role in the battles yesterday and the day before yesterday. Liu Mang's army snatched the trebuchet and was able to defeat the monkey army so easily.
Now the monkey army has retreated to the high ground seventy miles away from the royal city and established a defensive line. It is really not easy to attack it. These trebuchets can be of great use.
As long as they are reorganized not far from the high ground and continue to throw boulders towards the high ground, the monkey army's temporary defense line will surely be in chaos sooner or later.
After Liu Mang enjoyed breakfast, he gathered with a group of generals to urgently discuss and analyze the upcoming battle situation and formulate the next battle plan.
The group of people did not pay too much attention to the poisonous dragon flying past in the sky.
A group of generals had very different opinions, and the general headed by Xiong Ba suggested a fierce attack.
After the trebuchet is set up, the cavalry charges forward using the trebuchet as a cover to break through the highland defense line of the monkey army, and reach the high ground to completely defeat the monkey army.
With the current strength of Liu Mang's army, if he wants to do it, it is entirely possible to succeed and defeat the monkey army in one fell swoop!
In this way, the monkey army can be eliminated as quickly as possible and the war can be ended.
After all, even though we have the royal city and the orcs at our back, fighting on the front line with a million troops is too costly.
For every extra day of the war, tens of millions more people in the Orc tribe may go hungry.
Moreover, the next season’s farming will begin soon, requiring manual farming.
What's more important is that the families of those soldiers are waiting for them to go back and reunite.
What Xiong Ba said seemed reasonable, but Victor Bolen didn't agree with it at all. He felt that for now, we should stick to waiting for the opportunity to fight.
Although you are likely to win if you rush into battle, if you face a fierce attack by a million monkey troops guarding the highland defense line, the losses will be too huge.
Even based on the casualty ratio of yesterday's battle, if he wanted to wipe out the millions of monkey tribes, he would have to spend at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and these were only those who were killed, not those who were injured.
By then Liu Mang's army will be severely weakened, which is too irrational.
In addition, the Monkey Tribe lost a battle before, and now they are defending the high ground. They must be defensive and defensive. This time it is almost a siege. It is not easy to win.
If the Monkey Clan army holds on to the high ground and Liu Mang's army is unable to attack, we will be in trouble.
If that happens, maybe the entire war situation will be reversed.
At that time, let alone defeating the Monkey Clan army in one fell swoop, even the royal city might be in danger of being attacked by the Monkey Clan army again.
Xiong Ba is supported by a group of generals. They all want to take advantage of yesterday's victory and the high morale of the army to lead their troops to attack the high ground and attack the monkey army.
Victor Bolen also has the support of a vote of generals, who believe that it is too irrational to rush to send troops now, the losses will be too huge, and may even put the entire orc tribe in danger, so we must not act rashly.
The two groups of people argued endlessly, and finally turned their attention to Liu Mang, waiting for his decision.
Everyone knows that no matter how much they argue, it is Liu Mang who holds the decision-making power. How the army acts depends on his wishes.
Liu Mang didn't say a word, just listened to the two groups of people arguing. Now it seemed to have come to an end. He cleared his throat and said: "What you two said makes sense. Xiong Ba, you said to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, hurry up."
It makes sense to end the war. Victor Bolen, you said, now we have to wait for the opportunity and look for opportunities."
Everyone is staring at Liu Mang. What he just said was not nonsense.
Liu Mang cast his eyes towards the high ground and said to Xiong Ba and the others: "Xiong Ba and I met in the north of Linhu Gorge. Do you still remember the battle we fought that time?"
"Of course I remember that Your Majesty set up an ambush in Linhu Gorge and defeated Al Qianchuan, the most powerful general of the Lion Cavalry, with thirteen thousand troops. He killed his thirty thousand troops and surrendered. At that time, I
I really admire you, Your Majesty. I thought you might have an army of more than 100,000 people in your hands, but you defeated Al Qianchuan so easily. Who knew you only had 15,000 people."
When Xiong Ba mentioned this matter, he admired Liu Mang a lot. You must know that Al Qianchuan was ordered by Jin Wudi to suppress the three northern tribes. He used 30,000 fine cavalry to lock up the more than 100,000 troops of the three northern tribes supporting the royal city.
route, cutting off the connections between the cities of the three northern tribes and preventing reinforcements.
Such a powerful 30,000 elite cavalry, especially the black-armored elite cavalry, were defeated by Liu Mang with 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. How powerful they were.
"Then tell me, how did I defeat the Al Qianchuan army?"
Xiong Ba said: "Your Majesty, by surprise, you first set up a high wall in Linhu Gorge, several meters high, to restrict the cavalry of the Al Qianchuan army. Then you put the spearmen in front and the archers in ambush on the left and right, which greatly
Consume Al Qianchuan's troops, and then take advantage of their low morale to launch a sudden charge and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Liu Mang's finger pointed to the high ground in the distance, in the direction of the monkey army, "You don't think the situation there is similar to Linhu Gorge?"
When Liu Mang said that, Xiong Ba broke into a cold sweat. He instantly understood why Liu Mang mentioned the acquaintance of the two people and why he mentioned the battle at Linhu Gorge.
The high wall that Liu Mang used to block the Al Qianchuan cavalry was less than ten meters, but the high ground in the distance was a full forty meters high. The slope was high and steep, far more powerful than the one in Linhu Gorge.
All the spearmen were arrayed above, and the rear was densely packed with archers. If they really wanted to charge forward, then Liu Mang's army would be like the Al Qianchuan army that was defeated in Linhu Gorge.
Xiong Ba figured it out and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty, now we just wait for the opportunity?"
Liu Mang said: "It's not enough to just stick to it, we have to find a way to create a fighter plane. Let people hurry up to disassemble the trebuchet and transport it to the high ground, and assemble it quickly, preferably within two days. In addition, we may be able to think of something
Find some other way, a way to make the monkey army tight."
Purchi said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
