In this world, military formation is not a profound knowledge and can be learned as long as you are literate.
However, the effect of a military formation cannot be created by one person. In addition to generals with corresponding knowledge, elite soldiers who can enforce orders and prohibitions are also needed.
The reason why demi-humans are not good at military formations is not related to their race, but because the living environment of demi-humans is usually relatively difficult. The tribes do not have the extra resources to support professional warriors who are not engaged in production. Forcing the formation of formations will only lead to greater chaos. Therefore, That's why every time there is a war, they are defeated by elite human warriors.
Because of this, Luo Jie paid great attention to the training of battle formations from the day he took over the Headhunting Rabbit Tribe.
Having followed the same pattern and evacuated the burial objects from the imperial mausoleum, he had no shortage of money and materials to support the professional soldiers. He arbitrarily pulled out a group of people from the three tribes of Headhunter Rabbit, Harpy and Winged Man with a total population of only 50,000. A professional army of 10,000 people, armed to the teeth with all kinds of sophisticated equipment.
Because they had prepared war mobilization in advance, their troops assembled extremely quickly. In just three days, the demihuman coalition army, composed of 10,000 regular troops and 30,000 warriors from affiliated demihuman tribes, arrived in the empire in a mighty manner. ’s northern border.
The strongest man on the surface, "Peter Greer", died in battle, and the news that the five hundred elite members of the Yagbachi Guild were almost wiped out came from the mouths of a few survivors who had managed to escape, and soon the news spread in this largest city. spread to the northern border cities.
The city guard did not dare to slack off, and immediately put the city under martial law to step up precautions and sent emergency military information to the imperial capital, hoping that the nearby troops could provide reinforcements.
The imperial capital quickly responded via magic transmission. Apart from an extremely official text requesting to strengthen the defense, there was no mention of a request for reinforcements.
Ever since he saw the army of adventurers who were attacking the demi-human puppet country coming out of the border, the city guard already understood that the empire had no troops to mobilize.
In addition to the 20,000 border troops originally stationed here, the only new force that can be mobilized at the moment is the more than 4,000 adventurers from the Yagbach Warrior Guild who have retreated from outside the pass.
Forty thousand versus twenty-four thousand, if the defensive advantage brought by the city is taken into account, the strength comparison between the two sides is actually not as disparate as imagined.
If he does not go out to fight the city and just defends the city, the defender is still confident that he can last for a year and a half.
The biggest problem for the demihuman tribe to go on an expedition is the difficulty of supplying supplies. As long as they can delay the opponent's food supply, the demihuman coalition will naturally collapse without a fight.
However, the battle on the first day completely shattered the defender's illusions.
On the day the war began, dozens of fireballs fell from the sky, accurately bombarding military camps, stables, equipment depots and other important military locations. Before the enemy could see them, the entire city's defenders were already in chaos.
They finally managed to survive the terrifying strategic magic that was fired every few minutes until the arrival of the demihuman coalition. As soon as the guard led the team to the top of the city, the entire city gate and the dozens of meters long walls on both sides were fired with full power. The version of [Explosive Jade·Raging Sun Flame Spear] was sent to the sky.
The general died before he left the army. The deputy general immediately led the reserve team to climb up through the gap in the city wall that was blown up. However, as soon as he repelled the attack of a wave of demi-human soldiers, he was caught by a terrifying beautiful girl with animal ears wielding a 40-meter light. The big sword killed one's own army and penetrated it.
What's even more frightening is that not only is the ground battlefield completely suppressed, but there are Hobbit and Winged warriors flying everywhere in the sky.
These flying demi-humans didn't even need to use any regular weapons. They just threw rocks from above and suppressed the Imperial soldiers so that they couldn't show their heads. The spearmen and archers without the protection of shields and heavy armor suffered even more casualties.
heavy.
The organized resistance only lasted less than half an hour, and the imperial frontier troops in the city completely collapsed. A large number of soldiers who had lost their will to fight dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. Only a few soldiers were still relying on the complex terrain in the city.
A fierce street battle started with the demi-human coalition forces.
However, without the bonus of the military formation effect, these human soldiers were no match for the demihuman warriors who fought with ferocious beasts all day long. This wave of resistance was quickly drowned in the torrent of demihuman coalition forces entering the city.
In just half a day, the northern border of the empire was breached!
…
The news that the Snowfield demihumans coalition had breached the empire's borders spread like wings, spreading throughout the entire empire and neighboring vassal countries in just a few days.
The Imperial Capital could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately declared the "country of demi-humans" to be a traitor, and would launch an army to conquer it on a certain day.
Although the edict is high-sounding, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is just a delaying tactic for the people at the bottom and the vassal states.
All the elite troops of the empire are currently hoarded in the "Arnus Hill" area, wary of the actions of those men in green from other worlds. It is really impossible to allocate troops to control the rebellion in the northern snowfield.
There are even some well-informed people who have received the exact news from inside the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor has planned to trade space for time. He will first shrink his troops and abandon the north, and then wait for an armistice agreement to be negotiated with the men in green before sending out troops.
Go north to retake lost territory.
Well, strategically there is no problem.
But with the empire's current military strength, which is less than one-fifth of what it was at its peak, and the terrifying combat effectiveness of the northern Asian rebels who destroyed the city in half a day, not many people are optimistic about this plan that just looks beautiful.
There is no doubt that the "subhuman country" in the north has become a climate.
There has never been a shortage of speculators in this world. When it was confirmed that the empire was no longer able to punish the new "demi-human nation", many people's minds began to get excited.
Especially the majority of them are Asians.
The empire has been discriminating and oppressing the demi-human race for hundreds of years, and there has been enough anger at the bottom of society. Now some people are taking the lead in raising the banner of resistance to the empire, and the country established by the demi-human race is immediately ignited like a spark igniting a prairie fire.
The fire in the hearts of countless demi-human youths.
In addition to those demi-humans who come to the northern border as individuals or as a family unit to join the army, there are also many demi-human clan leaders who bring their entire tribes to gamble on their future.
The largest of them is a pig-headed tribe from the west of the empire with nearly 200,000 people.
Pig-headed people are the most numerous demi-human race on the continent. Their combat effectiveness is extremely mediocre, even lower than that of humans. However, their reproductive capabilities are extremely amazing. They have always been the best source of coolies and cannon fodder in the empire-army.
Naturally, Luo Jie welcomed the surrender of such a tribe with a huge population, but the pig-headed leader, who was full of fangs, made a request.
She must at least marry one of his daughters as his queen before she is willing to bring the entire tribe to submit to his demihuman kingdom.
Of course, if Luo Jie was willing to marry all his daughters, he would welcome it.
Looking at the pig-headed clan leader who looked like a pig with a hyena in the Dark Journey to the West version, he pulled out more than twenty fat piglets one by one and called him... Oh no, it was just a passing glance. Luo Jie only felt that he
My stomach was churning.
Damn it! Sure enough, there will be consequences if you do too many orthographic marriages...
