Three hundred and twentieth chapters change tactics
"Da da da, da da da..."
Harden was a little depressed and led his heavy cavalry to change the direction and wiped out more than 300 wolf cavalry. Logically speaking, it was definitely a big victory. Considering how rare the wolf cavalry was, they lost just one battle.
Having three hundred cavalry would definitely make any orc commander feel distressed.
But if he continues to chase, Hardman will be sure to keep at least half of the wolf cavalry. This opportunity is rare. Next time, these wolf cavalry will probably have to hide far away when they see him again, and will not give him any more opportunities.
This is the chance for the Red Flame Knights to chase after each other.
It's a pity that there are so many military orders. No matter how unwilling Hardman is, he must immediately execute the retreat order from the commander.
Also retreating with Hardman were the Silver Wing Legion that had just come up to support and the 10,000 Dragon Army led by Ron. The human army that had just assumed a decisive battle posture suddenly retreated, and even the orc vanguard army withdrew.
Withdrawn less than half.
"The humans have retreated, General, should we pursue them?"
"No need, the human heavy cavalry still has combat effectiveness. The wolf cavalry just suffered a big loss, but they can't restrain the human cavalry."
Gert is still very rational. There is no advantage in pursuing him at this moment. He can save the vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry and readjust them.
"Let the vanguard battalion and the wolf cavalry go down to rest first, there is no rush."
In Geert's eyes, the retreat of human beings at this moment is considered within the normal range. Although the Wolf Cavalry suffered a loss, he had immediately sent the last 10,000 reserve troops up, which still defeated them in terms of strength ratio.
The humans on the other side.
Maybe humans are still waiting for reinforcements and have no intention of a decisive battle, but he, Gert, is waiting. When the second army is back in position, whether it is to directly cut off the opponent's logistics line or directly carry out a package and suppression, it can be done in his mind
.
In this expedition, Gert's 60,000-strong army was not only equipped with four dragon-hunting ballistas, but also equipped with two thousand wolf cavalry. A team of one thousand people had just been disabled. It seems that they encountered the ace cavalry unit of mankind.
, following the second legion to detour the wolf cavalry should be able to easily eliminate the human scout cavalry and destroy the human food routes. As long as the time is delayed for a day or two, the victory can be achieved more easily. There is no need to fight the human army now.
Although Geert did not think that he would lose, the fighting power of the humans in front of him was obviously not weak. If he suddenly faced a decisive battle, he would suffer greater losses. Since the opponent had no intention of a decisive battle, Geert was willing to delay it for a while.
…
human military camp
As the legions retreated, the camp became slightly more crowded.
"Hey, our team just killed two orcs. If our military achievements are evenly matched, we can use the Steel Breathing Technique."
"Two are nothing. Look at the Red Flame Knights. There were hundreds of orc wolf cavalry there. They were chasing and beating them. Orc corpses were spread all over the ground. I also want to join the Red Flame Knights in the future."
When the soldiers of the Dragon Army mentioned the Red Flame Knights, they looked full of yearning.
"Come on, for the Red Flame Knights, I'm afraid you're not even qualified to be a squire. Everyone in the Red Flame Knights is a knight."
"Hmph, when I switch to the Steel Breathing Technique, I first become a quasi-knight, and then I kill a few more orcs on the battlefield, and then maybe I can switch to the Qi-Entraining Technique and become a knight."
"Okay, okay, okay, future knight, the most important thing now is to survive."
…
Although there were still a lot of casualties in this battle, the morale of the soldiers was not low. Many soldiers were counting their military exploits. There were many who had the same idea as this soldier, and they all had changes in receiving rewards for their meritorious service.
own thoughts.
At this time, some senior officers were sitting in the main tent having a military discussion, but they still had a look of surprise on their faces.
Because Moriel also sat on the second seat, the person on the main seat now turned out to be Lord Richard, who had disappeared for almost a month.
"To make a long story short, our plan needs to be changed. We are preparing for a night attack tonight to quickly defeat the orcs."
Moriel's original plan was to slowly bleed the orcs after clinging to the orc vanguard battalion. Step by step, when she found an opportunity, she would directly dispatch the system army to defeat the current orc army in one fell swoop. Then she would go back and eliminate the orc commander's so-called roundabout force.
In the final analysis, Geert still lagged far behind in intelligence. He just regarded the human army on the opposite side as ordinary elites, and his entire tactical thinking was still focused on annihilation.
But he didn't know that on Moriel's side, more than a dozen earth-level champion knights and ice giants were already making preparations. When his reserve team joined the battle, Moriel would launch the final blow. By then, Moriel would even
Transform yourself into a dragon and join the battle.
However, because of Richard's sudden arrival, Moriel decided to change this plan. The Hunter family's financial resources were very poor. According to Moriel's initial plan, the damage in the battle might inevitably be a bit large. Now she has a better choice, Richard
It is a sky-level combat power in itself, plus the Red Dragon and Ultimate Hydra who are still in Ironwood City, this is the combat power of three sky-levels.
When Richard's magic power is fully restored at night, he will teleport the red dragon, black dragon and ultimate hydra in Ironwood City directly into the orc camp. Moriel will then lead the troops to attack from the outside. The orcs will directly
Bombing the camp is possible.
"Sir, do you really want to attack at night?"
The generals below were a little hesitant when they heard Moriel's plan to prepare a night attack. After all, a night attack is not a simple matter. This kind of thing will test the organization and morale of the army. If you are not careful, it may even be self-defeating.
Moreover, things like night attacks not only depend on one's own army, but also have something to do with the other party. Now that the camp is facing the camp, and the orcs have already fought for the second time, it is impossible for the orcs to be unprepared. How can it be so easy to succeed? Besides, there is a melee.
On the contrary, it is easier for the orcs to exert their combat effectiveness, so the human army is generally the one to guard against the orcs' night attacks. Active night attacks are very rare.
"Let the Dragon Army prepare. We must believe in the Dragon Army's ability. The Silver Wings Army serves as backup. We must also be ready and wait for orders. Now go back and let the soldiers have a good rest."
"Follow Moriel's plan and defeat the orcs tonight!"
"yes!"
The senior generals who were originally hesitant about the night attack plan saw that no one had any questions about Richard's recent order, so they immediately answered yes and went out to prepare.
"Can Sir Richard guarantee that he will arrive at the corresponding location directly at night?"
"No problem, I have already seen the orc camp. As long as I have seen the place, I can go there."
Richard has seen the location of the orc camp from a distance. According to the effect of teleportation, he can take people directly to any place in the orc camp that he wants to enter. The skill of teleportation is also available in the game.
I didn't see how powerful it was, but in real combat, it looked like a bug after using it.
"When it gets dark, bring the Ultimate Hydra and the two giant dragons to the camp first, and prepare some cover to prevent the orcs from discovering it."
"After I recover my magic power in the camp, I will attack the orc main tent with the Ultimate Hydra, the Ice Giant, and the outstanding swordsman Fred, and you will launch the night attack at the same time."
The golden dragon, black dragon and red dragon are under Moriel's command. They move faster and can be dispatched in time after being activated. It would be better for Richard to dispatch directly with several ultimate troops on the ground.
"Well, let's get ready first."
This plan is simple to say, it is to use the ability of teleportation to give the orcs an intermediate bloom at night, causing chaos to the orcs to the greatest extent, and controlling the losses more than fighting the orcs during the day.
…
The sky quickly darkened. The human camp was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The torches at the main entrance of the camp were bright. The patrols were still checking back and forth. However, the troops did not take a normal rest. They walked out of the back camp and slowly moved toward the orc camp.
camp.
Thanks to Richard's limited nutritional knowledge, the Hunter family's army's usual food mix is absolutely reasonable for this era. Meat, carbohydrates and vegetables are available every day, and some animal offal and offal soup are provided regularly.
This kind of gadget makes the Hunter family's army basically no problem with night blindness.
People walked next to each other, and the formation was maintained well by the moonlight. At this time, Richard had brought the Ultimate Hydra and the Red Dragon to his own camp through teleportation, and the orcs were still unaware...
