Chapter 500 The decisive battle at Xingxing Lake (1)
When the orcs saw the situation in front of them, their hearts were beating fast with fear.
I saw countless battle flags flying in the air on the opposite side.
Loud military bugles sounded one after another, resounding throughout the land.
The cavalry in heavy armor galloped forward on horseback, their iron hooves thundering loudly. The heavy iron hooves crushed all the grass on the ground into crumbs, turning into clouds of smoke that rose high behind them.
Behind the cavalry, the spears were bright and the swords were dense, like moving steel forests.
Under the guidance of the flying eagle flag, tens of thousands of imperial warriors marched in neat steps, pouring out from the other side of the horizon in a steady stream.
Like the great tide of the river and sea, they marched firmly towards the Xingxing Lake.
There were so many enemies, it was like an endless ocean, and everything people could see was red.
The original green grassland has disappeared, leaving only countless human figures and waving battle flags.
Even the originally clear blue sky was reflected and showed a strange crimson color.
The orcs had never seen such a scene before. They all held their breath and remained silent without saying a word. The only sound left was their heavy breathing.
Even so, countless legions continued to pour out from the horizon, hitting the fragile heart of the orcs.
When the sun reached noon, the entire imperial army was in formation.
The whole prairie was shaken.
Countless steel formations composed of swords stood in front of them, and they formed a steel wall in front of the orcs.
It was a large area of darkness, with no front and no tail, and the edges could not be seen with the naked eye.
This dense battle formation carries endless pressure, like heavy mountains, standing tall and heavy, making people unable to breathe.
At this time, I suddenly heard shouts like a roaring mountain and a tsunami coming from the distance.
"Long live~!"
"Long live~!"
"Long live the empire~!"
"..."
The shouts were getting louder and louder from far to near. They were earth-shattering and went straight into the sky. It was so deafening that people were deafened. They were so heart-shaking that they could hardly stand still.
Immediately afterwards, a large flag several feet high was seen in the distance moving quickly towards this direction.
The banner fluttered in the wind and fluttered wildly. During the flash, you could vaguely see a huge flying eagle embroidered in the center of the banner.
The embroidery of the flying eagle is lifelike, with its wings spread high and a ferocious look on its face, as if it is about to fly out of the flag.
At this time, as if to satisfy the curiosity of the orcs, the empire's military formation opened a road like a tide.
The big banner fluttered out.
Everyone immediately used their eyesight to look into the distance.
Under the big flag, I saw an imperial general wearing a golden battle armor and a red cape, galloping out.
Seeing that big flag, the imperial soldiers all showed fanatical looks in their eyes, and then shouted loudly.
That was the governor of the province of Naian, the flying eagle of the empire, the Count of Lorraine.
It was at his order that the soldiers of the empire crossed mountains and seas, crossed the Hanhai Sea, and trampled the grasslands.
Under the escort of a group of elite knights wearing heavy armor and eagle helmets, he arrived at a high ground only three to five miles away from the orc camp, and then stopped his horse.
Lorraine immediately stood on the hill, lifted off the heavy visor on his helmet, and then reached out to his side.
Next to her, Vera hurriedly took out a delicate monocular telescope, and then carefully handed it into his hands.
This telescope is extremely precious. Moreover, it is only the first batch of experimental products made. It was just delivered to Lorraine through the fast horse.
Although Lorraine knew how to make glass at the beginning, he was busy with many things and was always too busy.
Moreover, in the specific production, unless it is an extremely experienced craftsman, some mistakes will inevitably occur.
Sometimes when dealing with a problem, in the eyes of the old craftsman, maybe it's just a small trick, which is enough for the layman to figure out for half his life.
Therefore, even though Lorraine wrote down the method, he is not an experienced craftsman. He only knows a general method, but does not know much about it.
At the beginning, although he was ambitious to create this kind of thing that was more profitable than selling white powder, he kept burning money into it, and all the things he made were unrecognizable.
Until later, Lord Luo burned so much money that he screamed in pain.
In the end, the old man gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, revealing his true colors as a vicious capitalist. He sent spies from his subordinate venture capital company to Wellins, which is famous for its glass manufacturing industry, and kidnapped several people.
An experienced craftsman.
Wellings is mainly engaged in glass manufacturing, and they are not vegetarians either.
In that independent city, everyone from the mayor to the beggar relied on this industry for their livelihood, and everyone paid great attention to the confidentiality of this manufacturing process.
Due to the violent nature of this industry, many people had tried to take advantage of them in the past, and even directly sent troops to rob them. But in the end, they all failed.
The kidnapping process planned by Lorraine himself was also extremely thrilling.
There were several fierce battles between spies from the venture capital firm and spies from Willings' glass manufacturing committee.
It can be said that both sides have gains and losses from each other.
Several paladins among the spies were disabled.
And several of the best agents of the Venture Capital Company's Intelligence Division Six were almost lost in the hands of those spies. You know, those agents of Division Six were personally selected by Lorraine.
The first two digits of their numbers are zero, which means that these gangsters are top agents with a license to kill.
Later, these agents were supported by the Navy SEALs, a special force composed of elite members of the Royal Guards. Lorraine also used the latest secret weapon-the clipper ship.
With the help of the fastest high-speed sailing ship in the age of sailing, he was able to get rid of Wellins' pursuers on land and sea, and made a triumphant escape.
Later, Lord Lorraine used a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. He personally held long talks with the kidnapped craftsmen and did a lot of ideological work on them, and then he subdued those craftsmen.
With the help of those experienced craftsmen, Feiying Company's glass began to be successfully produced and manufactured in large quantities.
Although glass is available, making a telescope is another level of difficulty. It is not just about taking two pieces of glass and putting them together.
This is an optical instrument that requires extremely high precision. Under the current manufacturing process of pure glass, which relies on chance, it will also take a lot of trouble to make a high-power telescope.
Lorraine spent a lot of money on this.
Lord Luo, who also lost money, now has money, like a nouveau riche, he doesn't care about these small sums of one or two million.
If Lord Yiluo had the same personality as before, he would rather dig out his own eyes than do such a thing.
However, precisely because he spent a lot of gold coins on it, the telescope was finally made.
However, it should be pointed out that because the problem of highly transparent prisms cannot be solved. There is no way to effectively refract the light beam, so there is still no way to make high-power binoculars with modern characteristics such as large front and small rear.
The current finished product is just a somewhat crude monocular telescope, which can only be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece, but even so it is not easy.
When Lorraine raised the telescope and observed the Orc camp carefully, he found that the telescope was indeed very useful. It could clearly see the situation in the Orc camp.
If you adjust it carefully, you can even clearly see the expression on the face of the orc at the sentry post on the tall building opposite.
Only then did Lorraine feel that although it cost so much money, it was indeed worth it~!
At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he could use his power for personal gain now that he had the technology to make telescopes.
Use your power to order large quantities from Flying Eagle Company through military procurement, so as to make up for your losses.
While he was thinking wildly, he looked towards the orc camp.
At first glance, I can't help but be disappointed.
The orc camp had no effective planning. Everyone was in one area in the east and one in the west. Although many tribes were gathered together, it looked like a large dark area, covering an extremely vast area. But at the same time,
It's also extremely confusing.
And for the convenience of getting water, they are so stupid that they all live with their backs to Xingxing Lake.
If Lorraine hadn't seen that these half-orcs were really stupid, and even doubted whether these long-haired ruffians had copied Han Xin's first pair of bonus sticks, Huaiyin Hou Han Xin's strategy, he would follow
Play your own last stand.
Although they did not have to worry about running out of water, they were completely trapped by themselves. They completely lost the space for strategic detours, and even tactical detours were impossible.
Lorraine had some doubts as to whether these guys had some conspiracy waiting for her.
But what comforted him was that when the orcs saw his arrival, they were obviously extremely panicked. It was obvious that they didn't even know when he would arrive.
It can be seen from this that the other party will not be prepared.
But at the same time, a question also arose in his mind: How could the other party's commander be such a loser?
Just as he was thinking, he heard a crisp voice next to him.
The man shouted: "Brothers, I'm sorry, give way, give way. Thank you, thank you. Brother, I'm sorry, give way..."
Lorraine was stunned and turned around to look.
I saw a long, white, fat little boy wearing a tailored, extra-small lieutenant uniform, riding a small white elephant, squeezing up from behind.
As he walked forward, he kept nodding and bowing to the guards on both sides with a smile on his face.
A large amount of hair oil was applied to the dark and soft head, and it all adhered snugly to the scalp. Through the gap between the hair, the scalp could be clearly seen. In addition, when it was illuminated by the sun,
It's so shiny and slippery that it can almost reflect a person's silhouette.
In addition, a pair of expensive crystal sunglasses is placed on that pink and white face that can be broken by blows.
The lenses were round and small, barely able to cover those big, dark, bright eyes with clear black and white.
The little elephant under him was also covered in red, with its long nose raised and arrogant, looking arrogant.
Around the boy's waist and the little elephant's neck were hung around eighty or ninety muskets. Although the firing pins were all closed, it could be seen at a glance that the guns were all loaded with ammunition.
When necessary, just pull the gun slightly and it can be fired at any time. Killing can be done in an instant.
At this time, the little boy came closer.
He proudly put up the crystal sunglasses on his little nose. When he saw Lorraine's eyes, he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he looked at his little milk teeth as white as thin rice and pressed the long knife on his waist.
, laughed mischievously.
Just like Liu Bang's season, but also like Cao Meng's virtue.
It is the star of hope for the future of the empire.
"Having the wisdom of a thousand-mile eye, you can see through thousands of miles away at a glance and see every detail of the world. You have broad and profound knowledge, mysterious and mysterious judgment, and extremely heroic courage. You have extraordinary natural military talents and versatile strength. You are a benevolent person.
Infinite magnanimity and a mind as great as the stars in the universe.
With unparalleled leadership skills, he will lead the people from one victory to another, and on the road to victory, he will continue to forge ahead and march forward bravely..." The future leader of the empire, Young Master Leo.
Although the young master's name now has so many attributive attributes, he can kill the world's number one tenor Pavarotti in one breath. But now, no one in this place regards this young master as a dish.
Moreover, he was used to being punished by Catherine. Under this strict royal education, he did not have the low-level power people like the nouveau riche, country bumpkins and country nobles who deliberately pretended to be 13 in order to show off their power.
Arrogant and domineering.
Just like Archduke Julius after joining the army, although he received a lot of care, he also worked honestly from the bottom level up.
When meeting someone with a higher rank than him, he would curse in his mind: "You son of a bitch~!" while raising his hands in salute.
When meeting someone with a lower rank than him, while raising his hands in salute, he should also whisper back, "Same for you."
Lorraine looked at him and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. People just saw that the big brother who was the leader and the boss after he ascended the throne, he shouted a hundred promises, and he was majestic and prosperous. But who knew?
The hard work behind this.
A child like Leo would usually cry and ask for lollipops, but he is already a soldier and has to follow the army on thousands of miles of expeditions to accumulate experience so that he can be better in the future.
Successfully transferred jobs.
Even those who play online games, not to mention starting from a little kid and practicing to the highest level, even if they reach level 80, it still takes about 20 days~!
Therefore, he just frowned and said, "Why did you sneak here? Does Nicole know?"
Leo nodded honestly, then bared his white teeth and said with a smile: "I know. Nicole also said that if you follow you and move your legs faster, there will definitely be no danger."
Lorraine paused for a moment and cursed in his mind: "Brother-in-law" is really like a coyote. If you are not careful, he will poke holes in you. Moreover, he cannot be beaten or scolded, and it also causes a headache.
Finally, you have to work hard to wipe his butt. Just like this, you may not be able to get a good one.
This is a battlefield~!
Catherine was really relieved and let him follow her.
He pursed his lips, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and just whispered: "You'd better follow me closely. Don't run around, you know?"
Leo was overjoyed at the moment, raised his hand and saluted, and said loudly: "As you command, sir."
When the imperial generals who were watching this comedy scene saw this, they all burst into laughter.
Lorraine also smiled, then handed the telescope in his hand to General Larry next to him, pointed at the orc camp in the distance, and said, "What do you think?"
General Larry was stunned for a moment, and then followed Lorraine's example, he raised the telescope and brought it close to his eyes. When he saw the orcs in the distance suddenly closing the distance, he was immediately startled.
So soft, I almost threw the telescope to the ground.
But after he realized what he was doing, the old general who had been fighting all his life was trembling with excitement.
He held the telescope and did not let go. He just kept his eyes wide open, looking through the telescope at the orc territory in the distance.
And he kept thinking about it and kept shouting: "Okay, okay. This is really great~! I have been fighting all my life, and this is what I saw a good thing~! With this, I can watch the enemy
Taking advantage of the opportunity and detecting the enemy's situation is simply a piece of cake.
My lord, my lord, I am not telling you, if you have this thing, why didn’t you take it out earlier?
With this thing, we can save a lot of effort when we fight in the future..."
He kept mumbling there, which made all the generals present feel strange and thought that this general had committed some kind of madness.
Lorraine looked at the old guy and saw him holding the telescope and looking around. He wished he could even look at the orc's toilet thirty or fifty times. If he didn't know in his heart that this old guy had several grandchildren, he would
You have to wonder if this old guy has some mental problem, and he came here to act as a peeping tom, watching the orcs go to the toilet.
Lorraine coughed slightly and said: "General Larry, please let others watch for a while. We are talking about business."
General Larry grinned and said: "Look at it for a while? After a while, it will fall out of their eyes and they can't pull it out. Sir, I have been fighting with you for more than a year. Let's keep it like this. I don't want anything anymore."
, this thing is mine, how about it?"
Lorraine looked at General Larry holding the telescope tightly with both hands, without any intention of letting go. He smiled bitterly and said: "General, this is just a test object. In fact, it is not worth much. If you want it,
, turn around and I’ll give it to you again.”
General Larry was stunned and said: "It's really not worth much?"
Lorraine suddenly realized her gaffe and hurriedly changed her words: "Although it is worth some money, it is only half a month's salary at most, and I am also considering purchasing a batch in the name of the military in the future, and then distribute it to the school.
In the hands of senior officials.”
General Larry let out a long breath and felt relieved. Then under Lorraine's gaze, he reluctantly let go and handed the telescope to the next general.
At the same time, he relied on his seniority and warned the man in a low voice: "Can you use it? If you can't use it, return it to me quickly, you know?" A group of generals held the telescope.
, they all inhaled in surprise, their eyebrows and beards flying everywhere, and then they held on tightly in their hands like they were protecting their own sons. Finally, they had to ask others to half-grab and half-persuad, and then they reluctantly let go.
Lorraine ignored them. Only after everyone had seen it, he asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think of each other's situation? Is there any fraud in it?"
