Chapter one hundred and sixty-three tense preparations
With a transfer order, the entire Dragon City began all-round preparations for war.
It has not been long since the orcs arrived at the Far North Fortress. Judging from the time estimated by the military department, it will not exceed half a month at most.[.]
Fortunately, Dragon City had made sufficient plans before and transferred all the main army to the northern fortress group. It also began to send reserve materials to the far north fortress in an orderly manner more than two months ago.
Therefore, after receiving the order from the military headquarters, the troops in the Far North Defense Circle quickly began to mobilize.
The commander of the army, Zhang Liao, appeared at the Far North Fortress the day after receiving the order and took over all command of the Far North Fortress.
"Commander, this is the latest."
The communications corps handed the just-delivered intelligence to Zhang Liao at the headquarters.
Wearing a general's military uniform, Zhang Liao stepped forward to take the information and read it.
"The Second Army has 40,000 troops to defend the Far North Fortress. Behind us is the Fifty Army. The cavalry division is on the flank as a mobile force."
Walking to the huge terrain military sand table placed in the headquarters of the Far North Fortress, Zhang Liao placed small flags of different colors on it, representing the divisions of the various armies in Dragon City.
On the sand table, there is also a flag representing the movement of the orc army. This flag changes almost every day.
Of course it was not Zhang Liao and the others who were speculating on the movements of the orcs, but almost every other day news came back from the front lines tracking the orc army. Those doing these things were the other four special forces brigades that had previously participated in the Far North operation.
That day, after Xie Dong and Zhang Yuan returned to the Far North Fortress, Wang Meng, commander of the Second Division of the Second Army who was the commander of the Far North Fortress at the time, immediately issued an order to send a reconnaissance unit to the Far North region to monitor the movements of the orc army.
When this reconnaissance team was monitoring the orc army, they happened to encounter the special joint brigade that was following and monitoring the orc army from the city of Endu.
In this way, the Dragon City defenders of the Far North Fortress were almost completely in control of every move of the orc army.
In the Far North Fortress headquarters, Ian was looking at the luxurious sand table in front of him in surprise. Having led troops for many years, he could tell at a glance that this was the topography around the Far North Fortress. He had no idea that fighting could actually be possible.
so.
As a former commander, it is impossible for Ian not to know the importance of intelligence to an army. However, no one on the Ross continent has ever used this method to clearly mark the movements of the enemy and ourselves.
"What a genius idea!" Ian couldn't help but admire.
Zhang Liao was still looking at the sand table. In this battle, the Far North Fortress will become a must-win location for both the enemy and us. Almost most of the troops of the Second Army are in the Far North Fortress, and they will rely on this fortress to withstand an army dozens of times larger than our own.
Enemies. And this time the enemies are not humans, but orcs with strong individual combat capabilities.
Fortunately, Dragon City has already made detailed plans for various situations. From the sand table, it can be clearly seen that around the Far North Fortress, there are tens of thousands of Dragon City troops! This does not include the second army in the Far North Fortress.
On the left is the extremely powerful 1st Cavalry Division, with the 50th Army reorganized in the rear, and on the right is the 1st Army with extraordinary combat effectiveness!
It can be said that as the battle begins, Dragon City can rely on the Far North Fortress to continuously send troops, and when necessary, it can even let go of the Far North Fortress and introduce the orcs into carefully arranged pocket formations.
Of course, Zhang Liao would not give up the Far North Fortress to the orcs.
He had this confidence and relied on the troops in his hands to stop the orcs at the extreme northern fortress.
"The order goes down, the troops have entered the first level of combat readiness, and all supplies have entered wartime control." Zhang Liao ordered the people below after observing the sand table.
Soon, an emergency assembly call was sounded in the military camp of the Far North Fortress, and bright red flags were hung all over the military camp. This meant that the army would enter a state of first-level combat readiness. All soldiers canceled all holidays, and when sleeping, weapons
Can't leave the body.
The logistics department has strengthened the guarding force, and all special materials have been urgently allocated to each establishment.
The northern wall of the Far North Fortress has almost changed its appearance after more than two months of repairs by Dragon City.
It turns out that although the city wall of the Ross continent was very wide, it still had many loopholes in the eyes of the Dragon City military. Therefore, during this repair, the military almost redesigned it. However, in the end, due to lack of time, they could only
It's just a renovation of the northern city wall.
This time, the Dragon City military came out in full force and transferred 100% of the main force to the northern region, showing their attitude that they would fight the orcs to the death.
As the military equipment that the military relies on most, they have all been shipped to the Far North Fortress more than two months ago. Among them are more than 300 trebuchets, more than 1,000 bed-type crossbows, and
There are nearly 30,000 spare hand crossbows.
In addition, the 40,000 soldiers of the Second Army almost all have a crossbow, but the long-range strike capability of the Far North Fortress can be proud of the entire Ross continent!
Finally, some special supplies including black oil, smoked stone, etc. were also transferred to the Far North Fortress.
According to Zhou Yunfei's idea, relying on the defensive capabilities of the Far North Fortress at this time, it would be a fool's errand to conquer this solid fortress in a short time, let alone an army of tens of thousands of orcs, even an army of one million.
As long as the delay lasts for a few days, the 50th Army and the 1st Cavalry Division deployed behind the far north fortress can outflank the invading enemy and eliminate them in one fell swoop.
Such a big move in Dragon City, in the eyes of those who are always paying attention to the movements in Dragon City, clearly reveals a signal, that is, the orcs are coming!
To be honest, the Byvost people are almost immune to the topic of orcs. After all, the two sides have been fighting a war for more than three hundred years, and even the fresh topics are already outdated. However, this does not mean that the Bywaste people have become immune to the topic of orcs.
The Vorst people no longer hate the orcs. On the contrary, every true Bywost man wants to kill all these green-skinned monsters.
Generation after generation of hatred has become what every Byvost person wants to accomplish most. Even now, when almost all of Byvost is in chaos, it still cannot stop people from being sensitive to orcs.
Last year, a war spread across the entire northern region of Byvost, allowing the people of Byvost to experience the unforgettable pain again after many years. They wanted revenge, they wanted to fight, but unfortunately they were weak.
At this moment, Bywest could only swallow the painful tears.
However, this year is no longer the same.
The troops stationed in the north are no longer the lone army without support in the past, they are the army of Dragon City!
They had just created a glorious battle earlier today that was destined to go down in history. Facing those green-skinned monsters in the north, they would definitely kill them all just like they wiped out Alton's army!
The people are looking forward to it. They are looking forward to Dragon City being able to defeat the invasion of the orcs this year and let those monsters taste Byvost's revenge.
What’s interesting is that no matter how much people think about it, they probably can’t imagine that Dragon City or Zhou Yunfei’s plan is to completely wipe out the orcs!
It's not that it's unthinkable, I'm afraid it's just that more people don't dare to think about it.
In fact, in the three hundred years since the founding of the country, it is not that there have been such heroic heroes. In history, Byvost has also made three expeditions to the Far North. Unfortunately, the final results all ended hastily. Even after entering the Far North,
After entering the area, it was eaten up by the swarming orcs.
Humans realized that if they lost their solid city walls and collided with an army of orcs in the wild, it would definitely be humans who would suffer.
Rationally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Ross continent's army is not inferior to that of the orcs. Unfortunately, humans have not truly taken advantage of their own advantages. This has resulted in almost one-sided defeat for humans in wild wars.
There is a rumor that an orc has three lives.
It can be considered that the physical fitness of orcs is much stronger than that of humans. If they do not receive fatal injuries, orcs will hardly be affected. The so-called three lives refer to the fact that it is very difficult to kill orc warriors on the battlefield. There is another understanding that orcs
The battle loss ratio with humans can reach one to three. It is equivalent to one orc can exchange the lives of at least three human soldiers.
All these confirm from the side that except for the weapons and equipment that humans have that are superior to orcs, they themselves are not much better than the orc army.
This is why for three hundred years, Byvost could only rely on solid fortresses for defense instead of completely eliminating the hidden dangers of the orcs.
"The orcs are indeed strong, but we are stronger!" Zhang Liao confidently said to Ian. The commander of the Second Army and the supreme commander of the Far North Fortress showed his confidence to Ian without reservation.
before.
If someone had said this to Ian in the past, he would have definitely ignored it. Because he had personally experienced several battles with orcs, he was still very wary of the orcs' combat effectiveness. Just last year, Byvost's most elite elite
Under the desperate attack of the orcs, the defenders of the northern fortress were almost on the verge of losing the northern fortress. This shows how powerful the orc army is in combat.
Last year's battle, if instead of relying on the Far North Fortress, we fought the orcs in the wild, I'm afraid the orcs would have defeated them with just one charge!
However, Ian no longer thinks so.
Two months ago, Dragon City took over the city defense of the Far North Fortress. Ian became an officer under the control of Dragon City. Although he has not officially become a member of Dragon City. But as long as the Far North Fortress belongs to Dragon City, then
Ian was an officer in Dragon City for just one day.
He and his soldiers had sworn a long time ago to guard this northern fortress, which was forged with the heroic spirit of Paoze, for the rest of their lives.
The rumored Dragon City soldiers are no longer just synonymous with luxury in Ian's eyes. Just a few days ago, he heard about the feats of the Hummingbird Brigade.
Nine people! Nearly a hundred lives of orc warriors! The orc leader was seriously injured!
He didn't know if this was true, but he knew about the Hummingbird Brigade. When he was in the Far North Fortress, he was lucky enough to meet the Hummingbird Brigade several times. Bolt, who was unconvinced at the time, was once tricked by the deputy captain of that brigade.
Just be restrained!
Ian was dumbfounded at the time. Who is Bolt? The man who had a tough fight with the orc hero Grom was now unable to do anything in the hands of the deputy captain! Can this not surprise Ian? So Ian
Just remember this weird team nicknamed Hummingbird.
But who would have expected that when I heard the news about the Hummingbird Brigade again, they would actually be killed in battle.
Ian didn't know how to describe his feelings at that time. After hearing about their feat, Ian was silent. He didn't know how much courage they needed to do such a feat. They used facts and actions to let Ian understand
What kind of integrity the soldiers of Dragon City have!
