Chapter 274 Eastern Expedition(1/2)
Comparing the current strengths together, the grassland people are fighting a civil war at this time, and there is no new move in a short period of time, and the bears in the bitter and cold land are still missing.
In comparison, the Orc Alliance in the east has almost stretched its claws to his border line!
It is not difficult to see from the animal skin map that those guys must have been thinking about Xinshicheng.
Although the hyena closest to New Stone City is hundreds of kilometers away from New Stone City, if it weren't for Daxia accidentally discovering those hyenas, they would have penetrated towards New Stone City and built a new territory.
It was a little too late to wait until they attacked New Stone City.
"Transfer my order to transport food and grass to Xinshi City and gather troops."
Zhang Liang heard this and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to recruit some soldiers from the grassland?"
"No need, you need to go to the Orc Alliance to pass through a large jungle, and the cavalry will greatly slow down the marching speed. Moreover, if you encounter orcs during the marching, the cavalry will not only fail to fight, but will also become a breakthrough for the enemy."
"What your Majesty said."
The proposal was rejected by Xia Qi, but there was no turmoil on Zhang Liang's face.
He himself did not agree with the cavalry marching in the jungle. The reason why he asked this was just because of his own consciousness as a minister.
Xia Qi pondered for a moment and said, "In this Eastern Expedition, except for Xiong's Imperial City Imperial Guard, I plan to use all orcs."
"As for the general of the army, let Li Chuan be the one. That kid performed very well in the battle with the orcs in the bitter cold land, and he also accumulated a lot of experience in fighting with the orcs."
Now the north wall of Lulongsai has been built, and according to the scouts, the bears in the bitter and cold land did not appear in the central area at this time. I think there will be no battles in Lulongsai in the short term.
What made Xia Qi really make up his mind was the return of the Southern Expedition Army.
From the last message from the Southern Expedition Army, they are now not far from Tianxiong Pass, and now they may have already boarded the ship to return to Daxia City.
When the Southern Expedition Army returned, Xia Qi planned to let them station in the mountain city.
While recuperating, they can also serve as a support force. No matter whether it is Xinshi City or Lulongsai, no matter which side is attacked, they can provide support at that time.
Let's get back to the topic.
Xia Qi began to formulate the number of troops that need to be mobilized during this Eastern Expedition.
Four elephant men were recruited, five hundred wolves with double swords, eight hundred short spear soldiers with dogheads, five hundred red fox archers, five hundred tauren infantry, three hundred panda soldiers, and eight hundred goblin crossbow soldiers.
In addition, the previous one thousand imperial guards and lions, as well as the thousand human troops who went on a war with Li Chuan.
The total force of this Eastern Expedition has exceeded 5,000!
The most important thing is that most of the troops are orcs.
If it is converted into human forces, the total force of this wave is definitely tens of thousands.
Xia Qi made up his mind this time and wanted to give the orc force in the east a ruthless move.
Even if they cannot be eliminated, they must be beaten to half-destroy.
The commands to mobilize troops were quickly sent to various orc tribes. The troops from all sides began to mobilize quickly, and then headed towards Xinshi City.
Gradually gathered into a huge army and began to march to the east.
Time passed quietly, and without realizing it, more than ten days have passed.
Some time ago, the first batch of iron ore mined from that large open-pit iron ore had been transported back to Daxia City.
After smelting, it has all become iron ingots.
However, Xia Qi was not in a hurry to forge these iron ingots into specific things.
Although Daxia can be promoted to iron civilization, according to his understanding of the civilized battlefield, it is possible that after Daxia is promoted to civilization, he will be punished.

What a mess.
Maybe it will have any impact on his expedition.
In addition, there are still too few iron ingots now, and it is not too late to take the next step when the iron ingots are stored up more.
It is also worth mentioning that the smelted iron ore waste slag has not been discarded.
Xia Qi had previously obtained a cement production drawing, which required iron ore waste slag.
With cement, the speed of building city walls in Daxia can be accelerated further.
A few days later, the Southern Expedition Army finally returned to Daxia City.
The group looked at the prosperous Daxia City in front of them, and their faces were full of sudden isolation.
They have been away from Daxia and this civilized world for too long.
The return of the Southern Expedition Army added a force to Daxia.
Then, Xia Qi personally summoned Bailang and Wang Meng, and rewarded them with a large amount of property, cloth, etc. Then he asked them to go down and rest first.
On the other side.
Due to inconvenient transportation, and the previous destruction of the Hyena Army, no one escaped, so the orc power did not know that they had been discovered by Daxia.
After the specified time, he transported food and walked towards the Hyena camp.
On the other hand, the Eastern Expedition Army of Daxia also passed the Hyena camp and began to advance after choosing a target nearby.
As a result, on the way, the Eastern Expedition Army collided with the orc grain transport team.
There was nothing to say, and the Eastern Expedition army immediately roared and killed it.
Seeing this, the hyena man in charge of transporting food and grass was so scared that he threw the grain truck down and turned around and ran away.
The number of the other party is dozens of times that of theirs. Will you rush forward to die if you don’t run away?
Hyenas do not have such awareness.
But the question is, can they run?
Not to mention that the speed of the double-sword war wolf is much faster than that of them, don’t forget that there are still long-range troops in the Eastern Expedition Army.
A hyena man fled frantically and surpassed one companion after another.
It thought it very clearly in its mind that every time one more companion he surpassed, it would be more likely to escape.
Maybe when it passes this message back, it will be favored by the Queen.
When the hyena thought of her pride, she couldn't help but laugh.
Just when it was still immersed in its dream, a short spear came quickly. Before the hyena could react, the short spear had already penetrated its body.
It's a kobold!
During this round of short spear throwing, dozens of hyena people were immediately penetrated by short spears.
This round of attacks directly scared these hyena people, and even the speed of escape was a little slower.
Richard seized this gap and led his double-sword war wolves to rush forward. As he lifted his sword, dozens of hyenas died on the spot.
The other troops of the Eastern Expedition Army did not intervene, but only surrounded these hyenas.
The surrounded hyena people are almost crazy at this time. What is the situation?
Where do these orcs come from?
Why do they get mixed with those humans?
Why do they attack them?
However, these questions were never answered until their death.
With the cooperation between the kowtowel and the werewolf, these hyena people were wiped out in less than twenty minutes.
After the war, some people cleaned up the battlefield, while others stationed on the spot and took a break.
Li Chuan held a picture in his hand. According to the map copied from the Hyena people before, according to the map, they were not far from the next orc camp.
After the army marched for a long time,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The orc camp in the square is already far away.
Li Chuan, who checked the situation through the telescope, had a hint of surprise on his face.
The development speed of this group of orcs was much faster than he imagined.
Originally, he thought that the other party would build a simple camp at best, but he didn't expect that they had built a small city and had also built a circle of city walls on the outside.
On the top of the city, there were even several hyena people on duty.
It seems that it is quite like that.
However, Li Chuan did not take this seriously. In front of the four elephant people, this small city wall was simply useless.
But you should know that these are all made by a group of indigenous orcs.
Until now, Li Chuan understood why His Majesty insisted on launching a war against these orcs.
These orcs can now reach their current level. If they are allowed to develop for a few years, they will definitely become more difficult to deal with.
It is inevitable that Daxia will use war against these orcs, because they are too close to Daxia. Even if they do not start a war now, they will still start a war in the future.
