After listening to Lorraine's inquiry, a group of imperial generals stood next to each other and used the telescope to carefully observe the huge orc camp.
The Norman Empire was founded by force. Although this tradition lasted for a long time, the border areas were unstable and wars continued.
The generals of the empire also relied on their own military achievements to climb up the ranks. They were not like those Eight Banners disciples who relied on nepotism and acted as brother-in-law to others to become the commander-in-chief of the army.
These generals have all experienced battles and are rich in experience.
At first glance, they saw the horrific situation in the orc camp.
Chaos~!
Very confusing~!
That huge camp had never been planned at all.
All the roads are full of twists and turns, just like the naked kid from Earthworm's family running outside to find his mother. It's like a huge maze, and you may not know where it will lead you.
On some of the main roads in the middle, there were even half-orc aunts blocking the streets and hanging ropes, covered with colorful clothes.
Occasionally, cavalrymen on horseback or on wolf warriors would pass by in a panic, and they would be thrown onto their backs immediately, followed by a burst of yelling.
Immediately afterwards, forty or fifty fat aunts came out of the tent.
Two groups of people stood on the street, holding each other's waists, waving their fists, shouting and swearing.
At the end of their own legion, the soldiers were all running around mindlessly. From time to time, there were women and children driving their bleating sheep, crowding together with the soldiers, fighting for the road.
.
Judging from their chaotic situation, it seems that from the time the imperial army arrived in the morning, until now at midnight, those guys have not yet found their superiors and established the proper order.
Even the most basic defenses in front of the camp were not completed. Only the lookout posts on the wall kept waving flags and shouting to the rear, asking for reinforcements.
Lorraine didn't even need a telescope to see the soldiers on the sentry post directly in front, tremblingly pulling their bows and arrows, with a frightened expression on their faces.
After watching it for a long time, all the generals felt a little strange.
If the enemy did not ambush, seeing so many of them arriving and being so chaotic without warning would be quite understandable.
However, nearly 300,000 troops were mobilized, with drums and horns shouting in front and behind, battle flags held high, shouting in front and behind, and vibrating for thousands of miles. Even a pig would feel something was wrong and pack up his bed and run away early.
Although the orcs were more ruthless and savage, they still stayed where they were, which meant that they must be determined to have an upright main battle with them.
But in this case, it means that they have already unsheathed their swords and guns, taken out their shotguns, united as one, and were sincerely united to prepare to face these evil imperialist invaders.
But the situation in this camp now is really different. It is too chaotic, and it doesn't look like they are going to have a head-on fight with themselves.
Seeing their chaotic and helpless situation, it was like a sweet cheese that could be reached at a stretch of the hand.
Lorraine almost couldn't hold it anymore and gave the order directly to attack with his troops. Maybe a charge could defeat these unsuspecting enemies. One battle would determine the outcome.
But his reason told him that this was too simple and too much like a bait.
Lorraine thought about it for a long time, but it was really difficult to make a decision.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, how great it would be if this was still the time when the Maple Army was in chaos~!
That is to say, there is no need to consider the enemy's situation, and there is no need to worry about the supply of food and grass. You only need to lead the army to fight.
No matter what situation you see, as long as you seize the opportunity and attack with an army, if you win, it will be your own credit. If you lose, the old guy Wabador, the principal of the college, will take advantage of you and wipe your ass.
.
It's not like it is now, where you still have to think about this and that. Food supplies, officer promotions and transfers, pre-war planning and preparation... all of these have to be thought of.
Just like now, people are afraid of wolves before and tigers behind. No matter what you do, you must take everything into consideration. If you don't think of it, everything will be lost.
You know, the lives and safety of these nearly 300,000 people all rest on his shoulders. In a moment, tens of thousands of people will be bloody on the battlefield. Although this sounds simple, in actual battlefields
Above, the pressure is so overwhelming that one can almost be breathless.
When Cao Cao, the boss of Cao Cao, was in the underworld, he and his younger brothers wanted to achieve the highest achievements. There was a lot of pressure. There were no psychiatrists at that time. Under the heavy pressure, in order to relieve the pressure, he went to the hospital
Killing people randomly in dreams.
Because of this incident, he often brought it up and was scolded by others. Later, he also hooked up with Yang Xiaoxiu, the number one "little smart man" in the Han Dynasty.
Although Sir Lorraine has always been kind-hearted, he neither killed people in his dreams like Boss Cao, nor did he often have nightmares. He dreamed that because of one of his wrong decisions, the result was a mountain of blood, a sea of blood, a loss of troops, and humiliation of the country. Then he screamed from
Awakened by a fright in a dream.
A large part of the reason is that the old man now has three factors that can reduce his stress. He is tired every day and suffers from backache, leg cramps and back pain.
But even so, every time I make a decision, I do it with great caution, as if I were covering myself with thin ice, fearing that something might go wrong.
Just when Lorraine was hesitant, a young general next to him volunteered.
He stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Commander, what's the problem? I'll lead the men down to charge and test the situation. If the enemy's position is not disordered, then withdraw. If the enemy's position is disordered, then Commander
You can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them. Let’s fight to decide the outcome~!”
After speaking, he slashed down with his hand neatly.
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said: "Linster, let's forget it. We have traveled a long distance, and the soldiers have exhausted a lot of physical strength. If we attack rashly now, if we don't win, we will lose our spirit."
.
If you win, you will cover up the enemy and pursue them to expand the victory. If the brothers can't run fast, they won't be able to take full advantage.
If they get mixed up, it will be a bad fight, and we will not be able to use our technical cooperation strength."
Linster was stunned for a moment and looked at Lorraine with admiration.
The generals beside him all looked respectful.
Although many of them have fought a lot of battles, they are also proud of themselves because of this. Seeing that Lord Lorraine is called the Imperial God of War at such a young age, they are all very unconvinced.
Aren't I just a pretty boy? If Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess takes a liking to me, with her help, I can accomplish such a great feat. Maybe even just mentioning a brigade of partial troops, I'll already run amok on the grassland.
During the entire integrated march process, although Lorraine was well-organized, it was just a lot of detailed work, focusing on logistics.
Although all the generals know the importance of logistics, and from time to time they shout something like "War is decided by the quartermaster," but in many cases, they are reaching out to ask for military expenses and appropriating funds.
method, few people really care about it.
After all, the main service targets of logistics are soldiers. These men are in high positions, enjoying beauty, drinking red wine, and eating barbecue. Who cares about the life and death of those cannon fodders.
Hindenburg, the famous German commander during World War I, has a famous saying that illustrates the problem: For me, war is like taking a hot spring bath.
With such a bastard commander, how can those pink pigs not lose the battle?
Therefore, even though Lorraine arranged everything in an orderly manner, many people may not be truly convinced.
Now, Lorraine only briefly observed the enemy's situation, and in a short period of time, he had already drawn up three scenarios.
Although he only said a few words, everyone was an experienced and seasoned soldier. From those words, one could immediately hear Lorraine's almost genius grasp of battlefield sensitivity.
In any era, the battlefield situation changes rapidly. Only generals with this kind of near-intuitive battlefield grasp can keenly find the enemy's weaknesses and win the war.
The so-called genius warrior is nothing more than this.
These soldiers are different from those civil servants who sit behind desks all day long, calculating this today, calculating that tomorrow, and looking down on someone the day after tomorrow.
They all live with their heads high and rely on knives. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives. Therefore, they don't have so many troubles. Whoever has the ability can save everyone's lives and lead them to promotion and wealth.
, everyone just listens to whoever says it.
Lorraine saw that everyone had finished observing at this time, so he took the telescope back from the hand of the person next to him, handed it to Vera carefully, then waved his hand and shouted: "Order~!"
All the generals immediately beat their breastplates together and stood up straight.
Lorraine said: "Today we will set up camp to rest and inspect the fortifications. Tomorrow morning the whole army will go out and fight the enemy to the death~!"
Everyone agreed in unison and said: "Yes, sir."
After finishing speaking, everyone turned their horses around and galloped down from the high slope. They each returned to their own legion's main formation.
Lorraine stood under the banner, took one last look at the orc camp, and sighed secretly in his heart: It's a pity that the army is tired after a long journey. If there is a fresh army on hand, maybe he can really use it.
The army entered directly.
Then he turned the horse's head and galloped down the high slope.
Seeing this, the guard holding the flag behind him also hurriedly followed him down.
In a moment, there were no people on the high slope, and only the green grass on the top of the slope was left, dancing silently in the wind under the sunlight.
Although this high slope is only three miles away from the orc camp, during the entire process when Lorraine swaggered to peek at the camp, the orc camp was in an indescribable state of chaos from beginning to end.
Under the threat of the flying eagle and the flag, no one of these so-called brave warriors dared to step out of the camp gate.
At this time, the horn sounded and the military flag waved.
Behind them, a huge military stronghold has risen from the ground.
The walls of the camp were made of carriage carriages.
The carriages were manufactured through Feiying Company's standardized process, and all adopted a modular design, accurate to the centimeter. Not only was the body solid, but the exterior walls had all undergone simple fireproofing treatments.
As long as the war horses are removed, the carriages are connected, and wooden boards are laid on the roofs, a solid wall can be formed in an instant. Soldiers can quickly pass on it for defense.
There is also a movable skateboard on the body of the vehicle. As long as it is pulled open, it becomes a shooting port for the crossbow, allowing soldiers to shoot outwards.
On the outside of the camp, the engineers nervously set up wooden stakes and laid out several fine barbed wire fences to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the camp and attacking.
The iron wire is made of fine materials. It is not only flexible and strong, but also extremely light in weight. It can be spread tens of meters away with just one plate. It is extremely convenient to lay. Moreover, there is a sharp undercut every few inches on the iron wire.
.As long as you are not careful, it will penetrate into the flesh and cause abnormal pain.
Therefore, the engineers were extremely careful when setting up, and they all wore thick deerskin gloves.
These are also the masterpieces of Flying Eagle Company. Since the production of iron wire is not easy, only Flying Eagle Company has such strong financial and material resources to develop these murderous weapons.
With the establishment of the camp, except for a few legions still stationed in place to prevent the orcs from suddenly leaving the camp to attack, the rest of the imperial legions also began to withdraw from the camp under control.
They were ordered to rest immediately and wait until the next day for a decisive battle with the enemy.
While the Imperial soldiers were busy there, on the flanks of the confrontation between the two armies, in the grass of a tall bulging hill, a tall figure was crouching there.
His pair of yellow-brown eyes were closely watching the movements on the battlefield.
When the man saw that Lorraine was unmoved, he suppressed the desire to swallow the delicious bait, and did not march in with his troops and flatten the camp, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment and cursed in a low voice.
Said: "This damn slippery man really can bear it~!"
Behind him, behind the hillside, were a neat line of five thousand Silver Wolf Cavalry~!
Everyone on the prairie knows that the combat power of one wolf cavalry can be equal to that of three heavy armored cavalry. Only three wolf cavalry can be equal to one silver wolf cavalry.
They are the best of the best~!
Originally, this man had a good plan. When Lorraine marched his army straight in and the two sides fought fiercely, he led these elite cavalry and fought out from behind Lorraine's army.
When the time comes, attack with all your might with thunderous force. Maybe you can capture Lorraine's Flying Eagle Banner, kill the generals and seize the flag, and achieve success in one battle, washing away the shame of previous defeats.
But he didn't expect that Lorraine was not willing to take any risks. Faced with such a big piece of sweet and delicious cake, he could endure it and wait for his soldiers to regain their strength in order to fight again in the future.
war.
He watched the imperial army retreat little by little into the newly built camp, and his teeth itched with hatred. Unconsciously, his huge hands gripped the soil tightly, pinching out the green grass.
green juice.
He punched the grass hatefully and cursed in a low voice: "Coward~! If it were me..."
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice next to him chuckled and said, "If it were you, wouldn't you have already led the army to attack?"
The man's eyes flashed and he said proudly: "Of course, even if I only had 30,000 people on hand, I would have already invaded with my army."
The hoarse voice asked with a smile: "Isn't this a bit risky?"
The man didn't even look back and said disdainfully: "Nonsense~! In a war, there is no time when we don't take risks~!"
The hoarse voice laughed lightly, and then said: "So this is why you lost the battle in front of that Lorraine. My dear Vechin and Torek."
The man couldn't help but be shocked, and then turned around angrily.
The slightly west-slanting sunlight came from the side and hit the man's face.
It was the commander-in-chief of the Orc coalition who led the army to attack Naian Province, and the chiefs of the Scorpion tribe, Vechin and Torek.
For some reason, his already ugly face had a long scar that stretched from the left side of his forehead to the right corner of his mouth. It was long and big, like a giant centipede crawling on it.
It's the same on the face. It's even more ugly and ferocious than before.
He stared closely at the person speaking next to him, with a ferocious and malicious light in his eyes.
The man was not afraid at all. He just lay on the ground, crossing his legs and carefully trimming his nails with a nail clipper.
Vechin and Torek looked at the man coldly for a long time, and finally reminded him gloomily: "Parks, don't forget, you were sent by the high priest to assist me."
The young man shook his legs, raised his hands, looked at his manicured nails critically towards the sun, and said slowly: "Yes, my dear Chief of the Vechin and Tolek Patriarchs."
Although his language was calm, he deliberately emphasized the word "patriarch"
Vechin and Torek were furious at that moment. They had detoured thousands of miles and went straight to Nadel City. However, they all slept in the open air and went through all the troubles. They finally reached the gate of Nadel City, but they didn't even see a shadow of the enemy.
It was completely destroyed by a huge flood.
Deipole also disappeared and almost died himself.
The battle was so cowardly that he was so breathless that he vomited blood and died. Fortunately, he climbed into one of the pirates' boats and saved his life.
He looked at the young man in front of him and wished he could tear that man into pieces on the spot.
At this moment, a man covered in black robes and holding a phosphorous white bone staff slowly walked up from the hillside.
The man in black robes wore a wide hood on his head, and his face could not be seen. He could only see two balls of green phosphorus fire beating and burning under the shadows near his eyes.
There was a thick fog looming over him. Wherever he went, it would become gloomy and cold.
Seeing his arrival, Vechin, Tolek, and the young man all showed expressions of disgust on their faces. Even they didn't have a good impression of this despised creature.
