On another continent, the poplar flag of the elven Poplar Kingdom suddenly appeared on the border between the Poplar Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom of Galles at noon one day.
This was originally a disputed area. The troops of the Poplar Kingdom fought here with the troops of the Kingdom of Gales about a year ago, and lost 4,000 people. The two sides faced off on both sides of the Segal River.
Originally the war seemed to have stopped, but recently the Poplar Kingdom suddenly sent more troops to the Segal River again, and the atmosphere in the nearby war zone suddenly became heavy again.
In the Kingdom of Gales, on the plain near the Segal River, the commander of the orcs was setting up a tent to discuss the latest military operations.
The orcs in this world are actually green-skinned humans. Their teeth are sharper and their ears are more like elves, with a pointy look. However, their bodies are not much stronger than humans and elves.
The orc officer in leather armor pressed the long sword on his waist, looked down at the not-so-detailed map on the table, and said to the leading general: "The elves in the Yangmu Kingdom across the river have recently...
Becoming restless again!”
Another orc officer pointed on the map with his finger: "They are gathering troops, but we still have an absolute advantage in strength."
There is a musket stuck in his waist. It is Cyric's flintlock gun. Looking at the wooden handle of the pistol, this pistol must have been used for a long time.
Compared to the more sophisticated elves, the orcs are closer to grassland civilization, and their lives are more rugged, so their economy is obviously not as good as that of elves and humans.
But they are more sturdy in combat. Although their skills are not outstanding, their bravery is world-famous.
Of course, they will also be wounded, fall down, bleed, and die in front of muskets.
Because there is no Cyric workshop in their territory, most of the muskets of the Kingdom of Gales are obtained by smuggling from another kingdom behind them.
They have more troops, but relatively fewer muskets. Every battle with the Poplar Kingdom will cause the Kingdom of Gales to bleed into a river of blood.
"I really don't understand why they are always so arrogant and think they can use muskets to destroy the iron will of our orcs!" A burly and strong orc commander said in a naive voice.
He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to vent his anger: "If we have so many muskets, even their survival will be a problem!"
The leading orc general crossed his arms and looked down at the map without saying a word. He really didn't expect that the other party would come back so soon.
According to past experience, after a major battle is over, the Yangmu Kingdom will more or less restrain itself and recuperate for a while before sending more troops to the border.
But now, their opponents seem to be eager to start another war, and the scale is even bigger than before.
Judging from the information feedback provided by the Orc tribe's reconnaissance force, the Yangmu Kingdom has dispatched three additional corps of 4,500 new troops to the border this time.
If you include the 12,000 people originally stationed on the border, the elves have already deployed a total of 11 legions on the border.
This scale has greatly exceeded that in the past, so the orcs have also begun to increase their troops to the border.
Because they were at a disadvantage in terms of the number of muskets and there were no more artillery than the elves, the Kingdom of Galles mobilized 17 legions and more than 25,000 troops to the border.
If you include the 10 legions originally stationed on the border, almost all the main troops of the Kingdom of Gales came out, totaling 40,000 troops!
This time, it was a battle involving almost all the national strength. The Kingdom of Gales even borrowed a lot of money from another orc kingdom behind it to support such a large-scale national war.
Logically speaking, the 27 legions of the Kingdom of Gales are now facing the 11 legions of the elves. The orcs' military strength is almost twice that of the elves.
But this time the elves did not retreat. Instead, they looked aggressive. The main force was getting closer and closer to the Segal River. Even yesterday, their rangers had crossed the river to conduct reconnaissance.
"Sir!" Just as all the orc commanders in the tent were speculating on the elves' true purpose, an officer hurried in.
"What's wrong?" The leading orc general took a deep breath and asked, staring at the intruding officer.
The officer immediately lowered his head and replied: "The elves crossed the border upstream! Their two legions are trying to cut our defense line!"
The orc officer was stunned. He had deployed two legions of troops upstream, and the river acted as a barrier. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the army to collapse so quickly.
So he continued to ask with some disbelief: "Why didn't our riverside garrison take any action?"
"They were defeated! The elves' musket fire rate suddenly became faster. It must be that they obtained Cyric's updated musket technology!" the officer reported with a gloomy face.
The defeated orc army did bring back a lot of feedback news, including information on the weapon changes of the elven vanguard force.
Because they had never seen such a weapon, the orc troops regarded the elven Tang's K1 fast gun as a new weapon developed by the Cyric Arms Consortium.
Next to the leading orc general, the sturdy orc immediately became angry and said: "Damn it! Those humans really dare to sell anything to those cunning elves!"
After thinking for a while, the leading orc general finally decided to deploy his troops on the flat terrain: "Assemble the wolf knights! Let our musketeers march towards the Seine Plain! We cannot let the elves control Seine City, otherwise,
Our harvest this year will be completely destroyed!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wolf knights of the Orc tribe are not actually knights riding wolves. These knights are usually herdsmen of the Orc tribe. They hunt wolves and have superb marksmanship.
, and their riding skills are superb, and they can be regarded as the main force of the orcs.
It was precisely because he had a large number of cavalry that the orc commander chose the Seine Plain as the battlefield for the decisive battle.
Here, his cavalry can charge up and penetrate the enemy's flanks, making it easier for him to deploy superior forces and defeat the opponent in one go.
Moreover, although the orcs are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of muskets, they are not far behind the elves in terms of the number of artillery.
Therefore, in the artillery battle on the plains, the orcs did not suffer much. This is another reason why the elves have never taken advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides for decades.
"Yes! Sir!" After hearing the order, the orc officer immediately turned around and rushed out of the tent.
The orcs have more troops, and it takes longer to assemble. This is also a disadvantage of having too many troops.
"Send someone immediately to inform His Majesty the King! Inform him of the situation on the battlefield." The orc general ordered again.
Another officer nodded, turned around and walked out of the tent: "Yes! Sir!"
After issuing a series of orders, the big tent returned to a quiet state again. At this time, the sturdy officer standing next to the orc general couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Now I finally understand why Ciri
Gram's envoy was so easy to talk to that he sold us 5,000 Cyric flintlock guns in one go!"
"They are cheating us of our money!" The other orc officers also clenched their fists with unkind expressions.
The leading orc officer closed his eyes and sighed with some reluctance: "But we still have to deal with them honestly! This is the thing that I hate the most!"
The two legions he deployed by the river upstream collapsed immediately, which meant that the elves' weapon advantage was absolutely obvious.
Originally there were 27 legions fighting against 11 elven legions, but now he only had 25 legions left to fight immediately.
This situation has never happened in previous wars, so he must re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the elven troops.
If one is not careful and misestimates the actual combat strength of the opponent's troops, the entire battle situation will be ruined.
This was a battle in which the orcs' Kingdom of Gales had devoted all their strength. If they could not defeat the elves, then losing the Kingdom of Gales on the Seine Plain would basically be the same as destroying the country.
After some calculation, he ordered the sturdy officer standing next to him: "Take the guards yourself! Let the two defeated legions find a way to withdraw from the battle! Bring the remaining musketeers of the two retreating legions,
Gather them all and strengthen them for the 17th Army Corps!"
"Yes!" The orc officer nodded in a naive voice.
The leading orc general continued to warn: "Remember! Don't act recklessly! Let the 17th Army retreat slowly! If the opponent is fooled and takes the 17th Army into the Seine Plain, you should join the next three legions and stay on standby!"
"Understood!" The officer solemnly promised again.
"Don't take a step back!" the orc general at the head emphasized in the end.
"Never take a step back!" the orc officer firmly confirmed again.
"Go!" He nodded, and the orc general waved his hand, signaling to his confidants that they could carry out the order.
"..." The orc officer stood at attention with his chin raised and walked out of the tent without saying a word.
First use 3 legions to test the opponent's combat effectiveness, and at the same time dig a big hole for the opponent, test the opponent's commander, and see if the opponent will underestimate the enemy and rush in... After setting the basic battle plan, the orcs led by
The general ordered the remaining officers in the tent: "The remaining people should return to the legions and command the troops!"
"Yes!" The remaining orc officers replied in a hurry.
