Chapter 776 The Turbulent West(1/2)
After the Western Expedition army retreated.
Inside the orc city, the atmosphere was depressing.
Judging from the results, the retreat of the siege team should be regarded as a victory for their defenders.
However, the large number of wounded soldiers in the city and the piles of corpses outside the city really made them unhappy.
At the same time, the Hippopotamus and Lionmen, which are powerful combat units among the orcs, were seriously injured after a bloody battle with the Black Armor Army.
The power of the tomahawks swinging down cannot be blocked by thick skin and flesh alone.
Violent smashing sounds came from inside the house.
One of the injured hippo men smashed the wooden table in front of him to pieces on the spot.
In this way, he constantly vents the anger in his chest.
Although the faces of the lions sitting nearby were equally ugly, they did not join in the beating.
Instead, he looked at the hippo man coldly.
Wait until the other person is done venting.
Then one of the lion men spoke in a deep voice...
"We can't continue like this. We have to let the Elephants go to war!"
Today's battle undoubtedly gave them a clear understanding of the combat power of the Western Expeditionary Army.
At this moment, the orcs also felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.
In this situation, letting the Elephants fight is the best solution.
As long as the Elephants are willing to fight.
Then the four elephant men on the opposite side can be effectively suppressed.
Of course, another point is that once the Elephants join the war.
Then the Rhinoceros tribe, which has always been advancing and retreating with the Elephant tribe, will inevitably join the war.
There is no doubt that it is also a powerful fighting force!
After a while of discussion, the orcs quickly reported the situation back to the rear.
And at the same time, on the other side.
The Western Expeditionary Army, which temporarily withdrew to the second city to be stationed, also immediately sent out a flying pigeon message.
For this third orc city.
If they insist on attacking forcefully, they can defeat it.
But the problem lies in the casualties of the troops.
Because after the first battle, the total strength of the Western Expeditionary Army would probably be reduced by half!
Faced with such a price, Du Yuanzhi obviously could not easily issue the order to attack.
When conditions permit, such matters must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor Ming first.
Wait until Luo Ji receives this urgent report from the front line.
It is already several days later.
I quickly read through the contents of the emergency report.
Luo Ji's face showed obvious solemnity and astonishment.
This time, he definitely provided sufficient troops for the Western Expedition.
Just to let them wipe out the orc forces in the west in one fell swoop.
Therefore, he never thought that his Western Expedition army would suffer setbacks.
The appearance of hippopotamus and lion men in the battle report forced him to re-evaluate the strength of the orcs to the west.
At the same time, Du Yuanzhi also made it quite clear in the battle report.
If they attack by force, they will most likely lose more than half of their troops.
Of course Luo Ji couldn't accept this!
It was not easy for him to create an army of orcs.
And now I am stuck in the preparation period for promotion to the Black Iron rank.
He was about to be kicked into the black iron rank by the system.
At this juncture, it would be too tragic to lose more than half of the orc army under his command.
But if he takes his time, he doesn't seem to have that much time.
According to Luo Ji's original plan, he would deal with the orc forces in the west within this year!
With this thought in mind, he made a decision after thinking about it for a while.
Gather your troops and lead the expedition yourself!
His own innate skills have a very powerful amplification BUFF.
As long as he personally leads the troops into battle, the army's combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.
Order after order was given quickly.
What is the simplest way to defeat the opponent while preserving your troops?
It's very simple, long-range fire suppression!
In this way, Luo Ji's first order was to mobilize thirty three-bow crossbows and thirty return cannons.
This wave, it’s time for the indigenous orcs in the west to see what a big scene is!
The mobilization of large amounts of ordnance and troops will undoubtedly take time.
During this period, Luo Ji ordered the Western Expeditionary Army to temporarily station in the orc city.
While watching the movement to the west, take a good rest.
Prepare for the next wave of war to pacify the West!
However, the Western Expeditionary Army did not move.
But in the depths of the orcish forces to the west, things are still not very peaceful.
The source of the noise comes from the Elephant Man tribe.
Just now, the chiefs of the orc tribes, including the Lion Man, Hippo Man, Jackal Man, and Wild Boar Man, came to the door at the same time, asking the Elephant Man Tribe to send warriors from the tribe to rush to the front line to assist in the battle.
The leader of the Elephant Man tribe, who had already confirmed that there were four members of the same tribe on the other side, was naturally very unwilling to do such a thing of fighting against each other.
At first, I refused in a relatively tactful way.
Unexpectedly, after several rejections to no avail.
This time, the attitude of the Lion Man and the others was unexpectedly tough.
They were originally quite wary of the Elephants' human race's fighting power, but they didn't push too hard, lest everyone break up and fall out completely.
But this time, I don't know what happened, but they blocked the door of the Elephant Man tribe directly.
With an extremely tough attitude, they forced the Elephants to send troops!
There was even a vague sense of threat.
From time to time, he also revealed that if they, like the human race, do not cooperate, then they may not have anything to do with food distribution in the future...
Although the character of the Elephant Man is relatively peaceful and gentle.
But faced with the aggressiveness of a group of orcs.
The leader of the Elephant Man clan also felt a little annoyed.
The warriors from the clan came out one after another.
He was completely ready to fight if he didn't accept it.
The situation accidentally developed to this point.
The lion-man clan leaders and others who came to ask the Elephant-human clan to send troops also secretly complained in their hearts.
But at the same time, I felt a little bit frustrated and annoyed.
The situation is about to get out of control.
At this moment, the leader of the rhinoceros tribe rushed over after hearing the news.
Acted as a peacemaker for a while.
Only then did the situation that was about to get out of control finally be brought under control.
After watching the Lion Man and the others walk away.
The leader of the rhinoceros tribe, who felt a little relieved, turned to look at his old friend.
To be continued...
