Chapter 1503 The Counterattack of the Demon Alliance Army
When three days have passed and the advancing human legion finally finds traces of demons and orcs, what should it look like?
The two parties hugged each other and cried, saying: 'Brother, I finally found you.' Is that so?
Or are the demons and orcs panicking when they see the overwhelming power of humans, and turn around and run away?
Or are you looking at the high-walled and fortified city built by demons and orcs in this year and sighing with excitement?
The correct answer is: The tide-like army of Orcs occupied the entire field of vision, charging towards the ranks of the human coalition in waves!
At the same time, the urgent information sent back to the general by the Sentinel Cavalry was that both the way in and the way forward were cut off by demons.
With front and rear double-teams and flank attacks, it seemed that there was still a way to escape. However, it was this idea that put this human army into a situation that was beyond redemption.
This legion's situation is not unique. Several legions on the South Route Front that broke into the demon-occupied areas all faced the same situation, without exception. These armies that penetrated deep into the demon-occupied areas and were surrounded accounted for one-third of the South Route Army.
More than one force.
Relying on the convenience of the forum, the coalition command knew immediately that the forward army was ambushed.
But we only know one situation. The specific arrangement and strength of the demon and orc coalition forces, these crucial information are still unknown. This leaves the people in the coalition command facing a choice: should they be rescued, or should they be rescued?
The undefeated legion strengthens its defense?
They also noticed that the East Route Army and the West Route Army, which launched attacks at the same time, did not suffer ambushes of the same scale. It was as if the demon coalition only targeted the South Route Army.
In fact, not only did the East and West armies not encounter ambushes, they also fought a series of victorious battles.
The forwards of the eastern and western armies are tribes transferred by the Great Khan. Whether they are seeking meritorious service or fighting for more say, it shows that these two forwards will fight very hard and hard. And this is also the case.
Since the forwards from the east and west routes broke into the areas occupied by demons, they have encountered many orcs setting up camps to break down the area.
Even though they were mainly light-armored horse archers, it was not difficult to deal with these crooked wooden fences. A single kick from the horse would create a gap. If there were too many horses kicking, the entire wall would be demolished.
Once the wall fell down, the group of orcs who could only escape on two legs would have no chance of survival.
Just demolish and kill all the way. To report it to the superiors is to attack the city and conquer the stronghold. The credit book is filled with pages and pages.
Therefore, regardless of whether the East and West Route Army will encounter battles, one is to take advantage of the light cavalry, and the other is that they are not as cautious as the South Route Army. During these three days, the East and West Route Army's advancement speed is also faster than that of the South Route Army.
Quite a few.
The three-party offensive turned out to be such a paradoxical situation.
Several legions fell in one fell swoop on the southern road and were surrounded by a coalition of demons and orcs. The situation was extremely dangerous. The rear was also in a dilemma as to whether to save or not to save.
The east and west routes sang triumphant songs, and the road was smooth. But one strange thing was that the main force of the kings of the east and west borders did not keep up. Not to mention taking the opportunity to expand the results, even the support of the forward army was getting weaker and weaker. It's just that
It won't show up for a while.
Although the nomadic army is very good at providing food to the enemy, it still needs to have food to grab.
Orcs, not to mention other things, their digestive system is definitely the best among all Homo sapiens races. As long as their mouths can bite, they can eat it and convert it into the energy and nutrients needed by the body!
So it is conceivable that if the demons do not have a rigid need for food, and the orcs can eat anything, how much food can be eaten by humans in the territories they operate? Even if they want to kill people and eat meat, they still need two feet.
The meat of the sheep must be edible!
Demons, creatures of the abyss. If ordinary people dare to eat demons, they must have the awareness to mutate themselves. The greater possibility is that they will be directly invaded by the abyss breath and become a monster without self-awareness.
Orcs. As mentioned earlier, they can eat anything, and their digestive systems are extremely powerful. As a price, they are like walking bacteria, the source of viruses. If you stay with orcs for a long time, you will contract diseases. This is not
Discrimination! It’s a fact!
Such characteristics make orcs, a very strong race, have a horribly short average lifespan. Moreover, when they are healthy, they have nothing to say; once they become sick, they are usually left to wait for death.
However, these flaws and characteristics are not the factors that caused this seemingly incredible situation.
The tribes sent by the Great Khan to support them were intoxicated with the dream of consecutive victories, so they couldn't understand it. But the Khans of the East and the West had been infighting and staying out of it all their lives, so how could they not see the weirdness in it.
Therefore, the two Khans unanimously chose a prudent and self-protective attitude, retaining their most trusted troops and only using seconded troops or those who were not valued in the first place.
So the situation in front of us became: although the east and west routes went smoothly, the main force remained motionless, allowing the forwards to continue to penetrate deeper into the enemy camp. The south route was surrounded by less than half of the troops, and they were indecisive.
Although we don’t know the specific arrangements of the alliance between demons and orcs, it seems like the other side has given up on defending the east and west routes and is focusing all its efforts on attacking the south route.
This kind of situation judgment can be imagined by anyone who is interested in paying attention to the news flying all over the forum, let alone the commander or headquarters responsible for the three-way front.
The best way is to increase the offensive intensity from the east and west routes, hit the gate of the abyss in one go, and close it. No matter how well the demon coalition forces attack on the south route, they will be like a tree without roots and a source without a source.
Water will eventually be wiped out by humans.
However, what is best for the overall situation may not be best for everyone.
At least from the standpoint of the kings of the east and west borders of the Suri Tang Empire, they would hope that the multinational coalition forces on the southern route would take more responsibilities and lure the main force of the demon and orc coalition forces farther away. In this way, they would have a greater
More certainty and more time to close that damn door.
Besides, the forward troops on the east and west routes moved forward unimpeded. It seemed that the demon alliance had given up on defense in these two directions. But is that really the case? There are no traps behind it?
When the two forwards force out the trap hidden by the demon alliance, allowing the Abyss side to completely expose its trump card. This is the best time for the two Khan Kings to use their respective main forces to make a final decision.
To be fair, the two Khans of the Suli Tang Empire only wanted to do the most certain thing and fight a war with a guaranteed chance of victory. But they did not think about what price they would pay for it.
】
In other words, as the arrogance of the imperial Khans, they believed that everyone would feel honored for their own sacrifice, as long as they could achieve the ultimate great cause. And it was natural for them to stand on the side that finally gained.
Besides, what does the dead people have to do with them? They are neither from the same tribe nor from the same country. No matter how many people die, the two Khans will not feel sorry for them.
In fact, some people think so, and it's not wrong. From a personal standpoint, everyone has the right to choose the path of pursuing good fortune and avoiding disaster, and everyone will make the decision that is best for themselves. That's why the word 'sacrifice' is
Become a virtue in the mouths of others.
However, few people realize that sacrifice is a virtue, but it is not an excuse to ask others to perform this virtue, or that it is a matter of course for others to perform this virtue.
Standing on the side of being sacrificed, they will not have any sense of glory or mission. All they have is endless fear, and they will give the most vicious curses to those big people who gave up on them.
Most of Ezio and his friends did not join the first wave of legions that attacked the demon-occupied areas. Because they arrived late, most of the legions in the first wave of attack sequences had already been organized and had entered the running-in phase early.
Those who are trained do not need to be supplemented by latecomers such as Ezio.
There are only a few unlucky ones, because the originally established legion members were too excited during training and retired due to injuries, and these people all have relatively special responsibilities. Elites from primary schools can find replacement talents more easily, and
Therefore, the legion entered the first wave of attack sequence.
Many of these people had no news at all. When Ezio and other Brotherhood members received news about their attack from the private block on the forum, it was already night, and the forward army was already in a rout.
Status. The brothers of the fraternity still took the time to post a brief message on the forum, and then they were back in danger of running away.
The forward legions of the Southern Route Army collapsed faster than anyone imagined. Because each legion faced the cruel fate of being surrounded and attacked by two to three hostile legions.
For the soldiers who were deeply surrounded, almost immediately when they found themselves surrounded by numerous enemies, the morale of the team dropped to the sky. Everyone had only one idea left, and that was how to escape.
Go. The gap in the net is the only way to survive.
Almost no team can launch a defensive counterattack. Even if one or two teams try such an effort, they will be scattered by their own people.
Among the legions in the first wave of attacks, there were heroes who could boost morale. But such people could not withstand the sniper attacks of a group of big demons.
The entire southern front, the legionnaires in the second and third waves of attack, and the people in the headquarters were all caught in a strange atmosphere.
Everyone knew that the forward army was finished, and even if someone could escape, they would not be able to survive in the end. But no one dared to say the words "give up and save". It seemed as if they would lose something if they said it.
Even though Ezio felt sorry for his companions, he was still powerless. He did not have the ability to accurately locate his companions. Even if he could leave the team to rescue them, he would not be able to rescue them.
The other party is on the run, and it is impossible for him to report the terrain and features he can see all the time. Is there anyone who has time to go to the forum to tell where he is? Wouldn't it be better to run a few more steps?
Although he was very helpless, Ezio knew that there were some things that had to be said. If no one wanted to say it, then he would be the first to say it, because if some things were not done, there would be more serious consequences later.
He found the general of his legion. This general was a noble from a small country south of the Suritan Empire and was related to the king. He was strong enough and popular enough, and he had the innate ability to be beaten by Ezio.
Conditions for easy persuasion:
"General! It's time to make a decision. Your kingdom and your family are behind you, and now the entire front does not look like it can defend the demon coalition and attack with all its strength. I don't want them to become orcs.
If there is food or seedbeds, arrange for them to escape. Then we must reorganize the defense line, block the devil's attack, and catch up with the retreating people as much as possible. We can't do more."
