The so-called long-distance attack, eating at the enemy, and directly inserting into the enemy's heart sounds very exciting, but from ancient times to the present, there are only a few people who can really achieve it, otherwise Huo Qiaoqi would not always stand up.
On the altar.
This kind of operation of rushing thousands of miles, especially moving left and right on the enemy's territory, has many practical problems that need to be solved in actual practice.
The first thing is not to get lost. When operating in enemy territory and unfamiliar with the place, finding the direction of march first and not getting lost is the top priority. There are many examples in history of getting lost in battles, missing the opportunity for a fighter, or even losing troops and generals.
Similarly, logistics is also a big problem. In order to ensure the speed of the attack, carrying seven days of rations with the army is already considered the limit. In this process, we must find ways to supplement supplies. Logistics transportation of food is definitely not expected, and we can only rely on combat.
To maintain a battle, grab a big grab behind the enemy's rear, but this kind of thing is easy to say. The enemy is not a fool, let alone a piece of wood standing there for you to grab. You must first fight to get it. If the enemy does it in advance,
It will be even more uncomfortable if the wall is strong and the country is clear. There are many other problems that need to be paid attention to. The generals who can perfectly solve these problems throughout the ages are all famous generals. After all, this is not something that normal people can do.
But for Richard, these are not big problems. Others may rely on their innate accurate sense of direction and keen sense of battlefield, plus a little luck to complete the feat of running thousands of miles. Richard mostly relies on
The advantages of the system.
Except for the giant dragon, the aerial power of the orcs is the same as that of humans without dragon knights. Some bat knights are slow in flying speed and weak in physical strength. They are used for aerial reconnaissance and have basically no combat capabilities. Richard doesn't even bother to take a look at this kind of thing.
The air units are also treasured by the orcs. An orc army of more than 20,000 people usually only has a few dozen for reconnaissance and message delivery.
Not to mention fighting giant dragons, these bat knights were immediately killed when they encountered Richard's gryphon knights and silver pegasus knights. A royal gryphon could easily tear apart a giant-mouthed bat in the sky.
Hundreds of gryphon knights and silver pegasus knights spread out, and a hundred miles around became a forbidden area for the bat knights. Even the wolf cavalry on the ground were not spared. They completely blinded the orc army in the deserted stone city. They are still completely
They didn't realize that the human army had bypassed the Deserted Stone City and headed towards the core of the orcs.
Relying on Sir Mrak's Scud expertise, within two days, this system's army had penetrated three to four hundred kilometers north of Barren Stone City and entered the so-called food-producing area of the orcs.
The wind in the eastern plateau is heavier than the wind in the north. The heavy wind is literal. Compared with the cold wind in the north, the wind in the eastern plateau is full of sand on the face, which can hit your face.
There was some pain on the ground, and it was obvious that the surrounding land had become desertified. In Richard's eyes, this was serious over-development, and something would happen sooner or later.
But the orcs can't control so much. The land they occupy seems to be quite large, but there is not much land that can be cultivated. The plains around the royal capital are already rare fertile lands in the orc kingdom. In order to feed more
Many people have to work hard to develop it.
Now the large green rice is swaying left and right in the breeze, forming blue waves. It is a little different from the earth. The green color of these rice is already a sign of maturity. Now this large green rice is surging, obviously it has reached harvest time.
It's season.
However, there are no orcs harvesting crops in the rice fields. Looking far away, you can see a group of orcs fleeing in panic, and a small city with a closed gate next to it.
Several orcs dressed as officers stood on the top of the city, looking at the human army and the giant dragon hovering in the sky with shocked expressions. The human army actually appeared here, only a few hundred kilometers away from the royal capital of Monaya.
This has not happened in a long time. Not to mention that they have never seen it before. Even the orcs of the previous generation have never seen a human army in the hinterland of the kingdom.
"Sir, what should we do? We don't have a dragon-hunting crossbow, and we can't afford to pay more for the dragon in the sky."
This small city located on the plain of the Orc King's capital is not a strategic location and is usually not attacked. The garrison does not exceed 500 on weekdays, and there is no possibility of dragon hunting crossbows. Now I see the giant dragon in the sky.
They all feel a little bit blind. As for the human army on the ground, they have not yet attracted their attention. After all, the number of systems led by Richard is not large, and the total number does not exceed two thousand. In the eyes of the orc officers, the threat is far less than those giant dragons in the sky.
.
"Send people to deliver the message, run around, and spread the news about the arrival of humans and dragons!"
"Pull out the bed crossbows, and everyone put on their spears. If the dragon attacks, we'll fight them!"
"Yes, sir!"
The orcs who defended the city were somewhat bloody. Although they knew they were no match for those giant dragons in the sky, they still decided to hold on without hesitation. In this kind of racial war, anyone can be a hero.
…
Soon, some hanging baskets were lowered above the small town, and a dozen orcs fled in different directions. There was not even a wolf knight in this small town.
Of course, all this cannot escape the eyes of humans who have been observing.
"Sir, do you want to send someone to stop them?"
"No, let them go. We have already crossed the Orc Desert City. We are afraid that the Orcs don't know we are coming."
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, let's prepare to attack the city. Take this small city and replenish supplies!"
…
"Roar!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
On the top of the city, more than a dozen crossbows pushed the giant dragon rushing from the sky and fired giant arrows. There were also hundreds of orcs holding powerful crossbows standing on the wall and shooting arrows at the giant dragon. These arrows were like
The migratory locusts flew towards the giant dragons but had no effect at all. Most of them deviated from the direction and did not come into contact with any of the giant dragons. A small part even shot at the leading poisonous dragon and ancient golden dragon. They flapped their wings at will.
He knocked out those arrows, even the giant arrows shot by the crossbow. On the orc side, except for the warriors and dragon hunting crossbows, other combat methods did not pose much threat to the giant dragon.
"Lance!"
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"kill!"
After the arrows were ineffective, some orcs at the top of the city raised their seven- to eight-meter long spears and pointed them high into the sky, seemingly trying to fight for their lives against the charging dragon.
Although this act is bloody, it has no merit. It has no other effect except to die with more dignity. The commander is just a bloody brainless person. This battle will make Qier, who is still a mouse in the woods,
If Wei Lai took command, he would definitely not fight like this. He would definitely instruct the troops to abandon the city wall and hide in the streets of the small town to slowly deal with the human army.
After seeing the way the orcs responded, Richard knew there was nothing to wait and he immediately led his troops to approach the city wall.
"boom!"
"ah!"
The result of the orcs holding up their spears to fight against the giant dragons at the top of the city was obvious. They tried to fight the giant dragons with their seven- to eight-meter long spears, but the giant dragons gave them a breath of dragon breath dozens of meters away.
More than a dozen dragon breaths came down, almost burning a city wall to black. The hundreds of orcs who were holding up their spears and howling just now turned into lumps and stuck together on the city wall. Self-study showed that some black charcoal can still be burned.
You can see the shape of a person.
Only some orc warriors who had seen the opportunity jumped off the city wall to escape. In just one moment, half of the orcs guarding the city were lost. Those who survived had panic expressions on their faces as if they had lost their souls. Even just now
The bloody commanders showed an expression of fear.
However, the dragon that frightened them did not go deep into the city to fight. After clearing the city wall, it returned to the sky and began to hover.
This is Richard's order. He is afraid that these dozens of giant dragons will kill them all in this small town and burn it down. He also hopes to rest in this small town for a while to replenish supplies. He cannot let his subordinates
The soldiers can go out to harvest the green rice fields with their sickles.
Before the orcs could recover, the human ground troops approached the city wall at an incredible speed. They didn't even carry any siege tools, not even an ordinary long ladder.
The orc commander did not understand the opponent's intentions for a moment, but this did not prevent him from subconsciously giving orders to prepare for war.
"Humans are coming up, ready to fight!"
Seeing the giant dragon leaving, the remaining orc warriors came to their senses after being shouted down by the commander. If they couldn't defeat the giant dragon, they could always fight with humans. At least fighting humans shouldn't be so hopeless.
But as soon as they picked up their weapons, several figures flew up from the human formation to challenge their cognition. Richard personally took Elena, Natalie, the Archangel, three outstanding swordsmen and three
An archangel crossed the city wall and landed directly next to the city gate.
Are these all warrior-level warriors? The ten flying figures made most of the orcs a little confused.
"Kill! Don't let them open the city wall!"
The orc commander was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and then decisively issued the order to attack with a trembling voice. He was afraid that if there was any further delay, he would lose the courage to even order the attack...
"boom!"
Counting all the equipment, Richard, whose strength has reached the peak of his strength, activated the Vulcan Sword. Several meters of flames emerged from the Vulcan Sword. Richard waved the Vulcan Sword, and Qiba rushed forward.
The orc warrior fell to the ground under the impact of the tongue of fire.
There was no room for the orcs' numerical advantage to be used. The Vulcan Sword in his hand was completely used by Richard as an AOE output, and the orcs' charge was stopped in a few strokes.
And the outstanding swordsmen directly waved their giant swords and rushed into the crowd of orcs, setting off a fishy wind. The orcs they killed died much more tragically than those killed by Richard. After a fight, the orcs on the ground
There was another pile of corpses.
Under this one-sided massacre, the remaining orc warriors completely collapsed. More than a hundred orc warriors turned around and ran away, trying to escape back to the city to survive temporarily. No one cared about deserters anymore. They
They are the last defenders in the city. The commander who can control them has just been split in half by a human wearing a red cloak, and he cannot die anymore.
After killing the last defensive force of the orcs, Richard did not order to continue the chase, but stood there and waited.
Accompanied by a "squeaking" noise, the iron gate of the small town was opened wide, and Sir Mrak led the remaining troops one after another into the undefended orc town.
…
"Ron, you lead the Crusaders to immediately blockade the warehouses in the city. If you encounter any resistance, shoot and kill them."
"Yes, sir!"
Although this city is small, it is well-equipped. The orcs are a civilized and civilized race. Apart from the different styles of city construction, the rest of the functions are similar to human cities.
With the Sky Griffin Knights investigating, it was easy to confirm the locations of key facilities in the city. Soon Ron and the Crusaders clanged towards the warehouse.
"Gru, M'rak, you will bring the halberdiers, war dancers and phantom shooters to maintain order in the city. Now the whole city is banned. No pedestrians are allowed on the street except us. Any orcs appear on the street.
