Chapter 285 The Eastern Expedition Ends(1/2)
Shi Xin knew very well that dispersing the army could not resist the army opposite, so it simply gave up all cities except the base camp and united the troops.
The Eastern Expedition Army pushed the troops all the way, pushing the line of troops to the orcs' base camp.
But another problem followed, and it was already the coldest time of winter.
Although it didn't snow, it was very cold.
The cold wind whistled, and many soldiers were trembling with cold.
Although Xia Qi did not hide back in the imperial chasing, he also wrapped himself tightly with fur.
Li Chuan came to Xia Qi and seemed a little worried.
"Your Majesty, many soldiers are now frostbite, and the efficiency of the march has been getting slower and slower in the past few days."
"What's going on? Didn't the logistics department equip the soldiers with enough warmth?"
When Xia Qi heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up.
I thought it was a fool, but I dared to put my hand into the army.
Li Chuan shook his head repeatedly when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. At the beginning, all the soldiers were equipped with enough warmth. But after a war, many things were lost."
Hearing this, Xia Qi's anger decreased a lot.
"The current situation can only be to destroy the Orc Alliance at the fastest speed, and then we can go back to the court."
After saying that, Xia Qi immediately shouted loudly: "Tell me my order and speed up the journey!"
Hearing Xia Qi's order, the army was moving much faster.
When the army stopped to rest in the evening, the vanguard had already built a camp, and the Fire Head Army had already prepared food.
In addition to the food that had already been determined, each soldier received a sufficient bowl of ginger soup.
The soldiers hid in groups of three or three and ate food while eating. What they could see was that frostbite appeared on their hands, faces and ears.
Not only humans, but also those beast soldiers are not feeling well.
Except for the orcs with longer hair, such as the pandas, werewolfs and foxes, all the other orcs were trembling with cold.
Usually in winter, they hide in their residences and eat the food they had stored before, and rarely go out.
The only thing that Xia Qi is grateful for is that this trip, he asked someone to prepare a lot of ginger, which greatly reduces the possibility of soldiers catching a cold and getting sick.
After drinking the ginger soup, the soldiers began to sweat on their foreheads, and they only felt much more comfortable.
At night, a large number of bonfires were lit in the camp, which made the entire campsite brightly lit.
When the troops cannot be withdrawn, Xia Qi can only use this method to ensure that the soldiers will not catch a cold or get frostbite when they sleep at night.
The next day, after the sun rose, the army set off again.
Seven days later, the Eastern Expedition Army finally arrived at the base of the Orc Alliance.
Xia Qi, who had more than a dozen elephant people, was useless to him.
In just less than two hours, the city wall completely collapsed under the fierce attack of people like people and turned into ruins.
And Shi Xin, this Lion Man who was so cautious that he was not like a Lion Man, saw that the last city could not be defended, so he decisively abandoned the city again.
However, this time, Shi Xin did not lead his troops to flee far away, but instead fought a guerrilla war with the Eastern Expedition Army on this vast wasteland.
Of course, there is no more to say about the essence of guerrilla warfare. In addition, the familiarity between the Orc Alliance of this wasteland can be said to have caused a lot of confusion to Xia Qi.
But one thing is strange is that Xia Qi was always indifferent to the guerrillas of the orcs.
The Eastern Expedition Army was stationed in the orc base camp in such a grand manner. Facing the orc army that came to harass it from time to time, it can be said that it turned a blind eye to it.
"Jin Ming."
Xia Qi turned his head and looked at Jin Ming in the room.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Jin Ming had no appearance as a goblin king. He was wearing a thick fur and wrapped him into a ball.
"Now there is no need for Baniu Crossbow or stone throwing cart. I order you to lead some of your troops and withdraw back to Daxia first."
"Jin Ming received the order!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When Jin Ming heard this, he was overjoyed.
If he could, he would rather stay in Daxia Imperial City or his own goblin royal city and eat hot pot with his princess than enduring the wind and snow in this broken place.
Jin Ming was very fast. After receiving Xia Qi's order, he immediately prepared. Three days later, he led a part of his troops and siege equipment toward Daxia.
Shortly after Jin Ming left, Xia Qi immediately sent troops to hide in the dark.
Its purpose is naturally self-evident.
This time, Xia Qi treated Jin Ming as bait, wanting to see if the orcs would bite the bait.
But the facts proved that the guy named Shi Xin was too cautious. Jin Ming led the army to the forest area and never encountered an attack.
Don’t you know if it’s Shixin?
No, on the day Jin Ming left the city, the orcs there knew that some orcs had proposed attacks, but in the end they were rejected by Duoduo.
Shixin had the idea of attacking, but it was not a siege equipment, but a grain truck.
What's the use of those siege equipment?
Who can operate them within the Orc Alliance?
On the contrary, the food was about to be exhausted due to the successive battles with the Eastern Expedition Army.
Five days later, a long convoy entered the wasteland. They set out from Daxia and transported grain and supplies.
A leading soldier looked up at the sun above his head and calculated the time in his mind. Just as he was thinking of asking the convoy to stop and rest, an accident happened suddenly.
I saw that on a hillside not far away, a group of orcs rushed towards the convoy.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Accompanied by heart-wrenching shouts, the next moment, the orc army collided with the soldiers of the convoy.
At this time, the orcs were all hungry because of insufficient food.
Now the dispute has gone crazy and rushed towards the carriage, wanting to grab the food from above.
However, this time, all the people responsible for transporting food were serious soldiers.
Not only is there a large number of goblin crossbow soldiers.
The crossbow arrow has a very strong penetration force and is suitable for targeting orcs with thick skin but not very large size.
Coincidentally, the largest orcs attacked in this wave were wild boars.
In this way, after the goblin crossbowmen opened fire, the orcs quickly suffered casualties.
On the outside of the battlefield, Shi Xin, the leader of the Orc Alliance, was watching the battle with another group of orcs.
Seeing that his orcs were completely at a disadvantage, Shi Xin was indifferent.
The leader of the wild boar man was a little anxious and asked Shi Xin: "When will you wait? It's been fighting there for so long, so where are there any ambush?"
Seeing this, Rhino Horn, the leader of the Rhino Human Clan, also responded.
After lying here and blowing the cold wind for so long, even if the rhino has thick skin and flesh, it can't stand it anymore.
Rhinoceros Horn felt a little regretful, and he shouldn't have gotten on this pirate ship at the beginning.
I shouldn't have migrated my tribe from the depths of the swamp to this side, and I shouldn't have agreed to join the Orc Alliance.
Shi Xin was already under great pressure, and now facing the questioning of the wild boar and rhino human leaders, the pressure in his heart is undoubtedly even greater.
But in the end, a word came out of its mouth.
"wait!"
"Wait yet? If you wait any longer, everyone will die! Brothers, rush me!!"
As he said that, the Wild Boar Tribe Chief took the lead and rushed out.
Seeing this, Rhinoceros Horn eventually rushed up with its tribe members.
Seeing this, Shi Xin's face was extremely gloomy. She made up her mind to join the wild boar clan in the future and then eat them all!
Seeing this, the lions on the side were determined to take action, but because the clan leader did not give orders, they did not dare to act rashly.
But they were secretly anxious in their hearts. Seeing that the tribe had already stopped, they could not grab food, so everyone would starve to death.
A lion man couldn't help asking Shi Xin, "Class leader, aren't we going to do it yet?"
"Wait, wait."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In any case, Shi Xin only has one word in her mouth, that is "wait"!
This Lion Xin was really cautious. It stared at the battle in the distance with wide eyes. In his heart, he felt a little bit of expectation that the ambush appeared on the opposite side.
