Eight hundred and twentieth chapters stalemate (finally ends the pig life)
In order to maximize the advantage of their numbers, it is exactly the same as last time.
The Theodin Empire army did not all gather outside the Broken Blood Castle, but was divided into three.
Ulan Bage led the largest group and suppressed the Broken Mouth Blood Castle in the middle.
Chief Harizhagai and Chief Haridong each led a team to break through from both sides.
Especially after they cooperated with the Undead Empire and the mysterious fog enveloped the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress.
The focus of the Theodin Empire's attack has shifted to breaking through the defense lines on both sides. Ulan Bari has successively mobilized 100,000 elites from the main army to support the other two groups. The troops actually stationed outside the Broken Kou Blood Fort
The main force was already less than 200,000, and then the army of 100,000 was gradually gathered back.
After joining forces with Hari Chagai's West Route Army, the total strength exceeded 300,000.
As the war continued to escalate, the number of soldiers increased instead of decreasing.
The broken line of defense has collapsed, and there is news that the Theodin Empire's army will soon move south in a large scale.
Not only did the news go viral in the Byron Alliance, it made everyone angry. They gave up all competition and petty profits, and united to go north to fight against this common enemy.
On the Odin Prairie, it also spread like a spring breeze, causing those Odin orcs who had been hesitant to make up their minds and go south with the remaining food and tribesmen to join Ulan Bage's army, preparing to join
During the plundering spree that followed.
Whether or not the looting carnival will be seen is a matter of debate. It is certain that he will become cannon fodder for Ulan Bazhi and the others.
The overall terrain of the Broken Vein Defense Line is steep in the west and complex in the east.
The defense in the west mainly relies on terrain, while the defense in the east mainly relies on manpower.
When Archduke Cedric and others deployed their defenses, they naturally placed heavy troops on the east side. When problems arose in the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress, the first thing they thought of was to bring back the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry to the west where the situation was less tense.
Move General Pedro's right army behind the east side.
The left army of the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry has fallen. With the fall of the Broken Mouth Blood Castle, the Western Front, which was originally more secure than the Eastern Front, began to become more precarious.
Ulan Bage led the main force to join this road, and after choosing this area as the main attack area, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Once the gap is opened, without unified deployment and backup mobility, it will be difficult for the defender to take back the defense line from the hands of the Theodin Empire.
Although limited by the steep terrain here, most of the fortresses can accommodate a relatively limited number of troops from the Theodin Empire units passing through here within a certain period of time. However, they cannot hold up too many openings, so when they are gathered together, it is equally astonishing.
Standing in one place has never been the habit of the Odin Orcs. Using their mobility to continuously attack and plunder the daily necessities and wealth they need is their favorite method. After all, they are the ones who are at the forefront.
Odin orcs are often people with nothing, and such people are often particularly cruel.
In the territory of the Byron Alliance on the Western Front, wars broke out everywhere.
From the large-scale influx to the complete capture of the West Broken Kou Grassland, it took Ulan Bazhi and the others less than a week.
The Strachey family's main energy was invested in the broken line of defense, and they did not have so much energy to build their own private fortress.
Once the broken line of defense falls, there will be no obstruction here, allowing Ulan Bage and the others to trample on them with their iron hoofs.
As the saying goes, as fast as their war horses can run, how fast they can occupy this place.
vice versa.
This situation did not last long, and the new royal army formed by the new royal court began to block it one after another.
The two sides launched a series of melee battles in the West Broken Kou Grassland and the Plains of Asia Minor.
That's right, it's a melee.
The Odin Orcs of the Theodin Empire broke through the broken line of defense and entered the Byron Alliance. There was no obstruction in the early stage, allowing them to completely let go. Many short-sighted tribal chiefs and leaders completely ignored Ulan Bage and asked them to
After receiving the order to assemble, they unscrupulously led their own tribesmen to plunder. In order to improve the efficiency of plundering and obtain more materials and wealth, some even divided their own small forces into small groups, and suddenly the combat area was spread over a large area.
wide.
The high-ranking officials of the Theodin Empire in Ulan Baz were so anxious that it was useless to jump behind them. This was not the behavior of one tribal leader, but the behavior of most of them.
This is determined by their administrative system. In the eyes of these tribal leaders, the interests of the tribe must be higher than the empire. If there is a great opportunity, they must first make a big profit for their tribe and people.
As for whether they will be settled by Ulan Bazhiqiu, anyway, there are those who took the lead in the front, and in the end it became a direct case of not punishing the public. Everyone is doing it. Is it possible to let them follow behind and eat ashes?
As for the new Royal Court Army on the New Royal Court side, when they first started marching north, they made a series of jokes because of the lack of experience of the officers at all levels. Although it got better later, it was not difficult to cooperate among the legions.
One and a half o'clock.
Especially when the Theodin Empire's advance far exceeded their original plan.
Before the major legions entered the designated combat location, a large number of legions collided with the plundering troops of the Theodin Empire, and an encounter occurred.
This kind of hasty encounter usually does not last more than half a day. Most of them start with the Odin orc tribe charging with howls and screams, and finally end with them fleeing.
It is true that the Royal Court's new army lacks combat experience in all aspects, but because they have a large number of Holy See knights as their skeleton, even if most of the soldiers have not been brainwashed into fanatical believers, their faith is higher than most people, and it is often easier to muster courage when facing battle.
, except for a few legions that collapsed on a large scale just after the battle, most of them survived the most difficult first step as a legion.
After being tempered by blood and fire, the legion will be more closely united. Even if a large number of combat casualties occur, their strength will not weaken, but will become stronger.
If they can survive the second, third, and countless battles, a true Iron-Blooded Legion will be formed.
However, the new army of the Royal Court was able to defeat the Odin Orc tribe, but it was difficult to completely defeat or even annihilate them.
Because the Odin Orcs refused to give up their horses even when they crossed the narrowest pass of the Broken Vein Defense Line. Although they couldn't do one person and two horses at their peak, there was still no problem with one person and one horse.
As for the new army of the Royal Court, there are no major horse producers among the members of the New Royal Court. Except for those knights who bring their own war horses to join, the cavalry is very few. Each legion can be allocated 500 war horses and thousands of pack horses and oxen.
This is still based on the premise that border trade has expanded in recent years and a large number of livestock have been traded from the Odin orcs.
But those Odin orcs are not stupid either.
Sheep are easy to say, whether they are wool-producing sheep, milk-producing dairy sheep, or purely meat-eating grassland sheep, as long as the Byron people are willing to ask for them, they dare to buy them in any quantity.
As for the oxen and draft horses, they had to think about it.
The war horses began to hide and tuck, especially those outstanding war horses.
It's not that those Odin orcs are so smart and don't want to be aggressive.
But even for them, it is also a relatively precious material, an indispensable daily necessities. It is far more difficult to feed than cattle and sheep, especially well-trained war horses, which are very delicate and need to be fed.
A lot of energy is invested in caring for and domesticating them. If they are carelessly raised and spoiled, the losses will be heavy. It is far less time-consuming and labor-intensive than cattle and sheep. As long as there is a stutter, there is a high chance of survival.
Facing the large number of cavalry from Odin's orcs, the small number of cavalry from the Royal Court's new army would not dare to attack unless at a critical moment.
This is the reason why the Strachey family, despite piecing everything together, still wants to build the best iron cavalry in the world, the Broken Blood Cavalry.
Just like the wild world is dominated by Odin's orc cavalry.
Odin's orc cavalry was helpless against the new royal army guarding the castle and villages.
During the siege, they must give up their greatest advantage and use their own flesh and blood to fight the opponent in a war of attrition.
In the past, the broken line of defense stood in front of them, preventing them from going south, so they had to choose to do this.
If there are other options now, they will never do this rashly.
But with these castles and fortresses in front, they did not dare to rush deep into the Byron League's hinterland, because once their retreat was cut off and surrounded on all sides, they would be eaten alive.
In the end, the west side turned into a criss-crossing canine front. You have me among you, and you among me.
The Odin Orcs did not dare to go deep into the city rashly, and the Royal Court's new army did not dare to leave the town to fight in the field with the Odin Orcs. They drove them completely back to the north of the Broken Vein Defense Line, achieving a short-term balance.
Compared to the west, it is tepid and chaotic.
The east side was vigorous and played unprecedented classic tactics.
This classic tactic was shaped by none other than Sophia Augustine, the wife of the lord of the Evernight Army, the former regent of the Lancelot royal family, the acting grand duke of the Strachey family, and the owner of the Iron Castle.
It only took her two weeks to smooth out the power gathered under her banner.
Sophia Liya knew very well that it would be an impossible task to integrate so many different forces, even if her all-powerful husband Sean took action.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about the organizational structure, they are very different.
Especially the Eternal Night Army Lord War Legion, with its layered structure, is a complete whole from top to bottom.
This is the reason why they have super strong combat effectiveness, and it will make their training much more difficult than other legions. If you want to imitate them, you can't even think about it without more than a year of high-intensity training.
Apart from the Knights of the Steel Rose who serve as their reserves all year round, other soldiers cannot follow the model established by the Broken Mouth Blood Riders based on their own superior qualities.
Angie Beina's Hospital Knights are more appropriately described as a medical corps than a knighthood. They are better at saving people on the battlefield than killing people.
As for the other personnel who responded to the call, the nobles and knights can be said to be at least they have rich combat and training experience, and usually have good military knowledge. Regardless of whether this military knowledge is just on paper, at least they have the basics.
.
Unlike those ordinary peasants who have nothing but courage, starting from scratch, if you want to teach them the basic cooperation and military discipline, you have to shout at the top of your lungs, which is so stupid that it is a headache, let alone assigning them important tasks.
Five years ago, Sophia Liya would have definitely believed that this situation was natural and normal.
After five years in the Yongye Army, she obviously couldn't deceive herself like this anymore.
This was entirely due to their lack of basic education. Compared to the Yongye Army Leader, even the princess fiefdom, which she thought she had always done well, was still far behind.
The Yongye Army leader does not dare to say that the literacy rate has reached 100% now. More than 70% of the young people above the age of eight and below the age of 25 know the most basic reading and writing.
If you look at this result individually, it doesn't make much sense. If you compare it with the situation of other military leaders, it is quite astonishing.
Naturally, there is a considerable psychological gap.
Sophia Liya showed super adaptability and quickly adjusted herself.
She can control soldiers with strong cultural heritage.
She also has a way of making use of such illiterate farmers for her own benefit.
As long as they are in the right job, they can always play their part.
Sophilia used the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry Right Army and the Iron Rose Knights as the blade, the two Eternal Night Army leaders who she personally commanded as the blade, and the local forces headed by the Hospital Knights headed by Angie Beina as the hilt.
mode.
This model is quite satisfactory at best, allowing them to maintain their organizational structure while forcibly bonding them together.
Anyone with some military literacy can do this, let alone Sophia Liya with a military staff to help her make plans and make arrangements.
Sophilia's big move that really shocked the world was that just after the right army of the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry swore temporary allegiance to her, she ordered the east road of the Broken Vein Defense Line to completely abandon the defense, and the Sioding Empire's army that was attacking along this way was defeated.
Put it in.
This unexpected action shocked everyone in the Byron Alliance, let alone the entire Byron Alliance.
Even Chief Hai Ridong, the head coach of the East Route Army of the Theodin Empire, who was in charge of this attack, was shocked. Facing the open door of the Byron Alliance, he became extremely cautious and did not dare to go out in full force. He could only be cautious.
Test, lest there be deception.
Because Sophia Liya's retreat this time was not a blatant dispersal.
Rather, it is about using the virtual and the real, using tactics to the extreme.
When those Odin orcs thought that the soldiers of the Broken Vein Defense Line had retreated and swarmed forward, it turned out that the elite troops led by the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry Right Army had been waiting there for a long time, killing them and bleeding them like rivers.
When those Odin orcs thought that the soldiers in the broken line of defense were holding on, they tried to attack and easily captured it. The city was already an empty city, and the people inside had been retreating for who knows how long. They heard
The sound may be the sound of hungry goats kicking and beating war drums, or the sound of the sick and disabled old man on a suicide mission to cover the departure of his comrades.
Even if it is an empty castle, it may not be safe. Maybe when the opponent is about to retreat, they will use the remaining black gunpowder and black kerosene to make mines. Once triggered accidentally, it will be a city's secret.
