The King

  Chapter 225 Small Staff Department

  Looking at the information passed by the Mosi people, Hudson was a little speechless. It can only be said that the Warhammer Kingdom is strong enough to dare to play a big battle at this time.

   If you really want to play a big game, you might as well join forces with the Mosi people and take back the Augustsburg defense line first.

  Once this gap is closed, it will only be a matter of time before the orc army that entered the Warhammer Kingdom is destroyed, and it is impossible to break through and leave.

   Fighting against the Great Plains of Warhammer in Yimapingchuan, even if you can defeat the orc army, you can't annihilate it.

   If you can't fight, can you still run away?

   Most of the Orc Expeditionary Army were cavalry, and infantry chasing cavalry was a joke.

   Doubts are doubts, Hudson still did not express his position. Things like war have always been full of infinite possibilities.

  Although from the analysis of known data, the victory of the Warhammer Kingdom this time is not high, but there are exceptions to everything.

  In case there are more than a dozen or twenty elite legions among the army assembled by the Warhammer Kingdom, plus a group of younger brothers playing human sea tactics, it is feasible to exhaust the orc expeditionary army with numbers.

   But this is only a small probability event after all. Most of the main armies of the Warhammer Kingdom were restrained at the front line. If there were so many main armies in the rear, they would not be at the bottom of the top ten kingdoms of the human race.

   It's no wonder the Mosi people are nervous. As old neighbors and neighbors with relatively close strengths, the two countries have had many frictions in the past years, and the strengths of each other are too familiar.

  Things that you can't handle at home, can you be able to handle it with such a flimsy Warhammer Kingdom?

  Hudson couldn't answer this question. In military affairs, it is often the slightest difference that determines victory or defeat.

  …

   "Your Excellency Marshal, are you ready for a big war so soon?"

   Hudson asked concerned.

  The Mosi people want to break the siege of Dapes, and he has no objection, provided that the Mosi people can hold back the Beamon army.

   After such a long time, the Beamon Legion, which had lost a lot of losses, has been replenished. Even if the combat power has not recovered to its peak period, it will still have nine points.

   Facing a full-stacked Beamon cavalry regiment, no matter who meets them head-on, they will feel their scalps go numb.

   It is not without force that can confront them head-on. A knight group composed of pure practitioners can compete with the Beamon cavalry.

   Unfortunately, the number of knights is really too small.

  Even with tens of thousands of expeditionary troops, Hudson never thought of forming a knight order.

   It’s not that they can’t be formed, the main reason is to forcefully form a knight order, and the core strength of other legions will be drained.

  The nobles who own the knight order are not necessarily the most powerful in military strength, but they must be the wealthiest.

  Purely from the perspective of cost performance, the cost of a thousand knights is more than that of an ordinary 10,000 army.

  If the same funds are used to form a cavalry regiment, at least three or four thousand cavalry regiments can come out. If the selection requirements are raised further, the final cost will be even greater.

   Troops with such a large expenditure are still flocked to by everyone, and naturally they also have their unique charm.

  Super combat effectiveness, high mobility, long-distance raiding ability... are the advantages of the Knights.

  As the first principality on the mainland, the Mosi people naturally have their own knights. It is a pity that many knights suffered heavy losses in the battle for Fort Augustus.

   This is the official statement, and the details are kept strictly confidential by the various nobles. Hudson didn't know whether he was really hit hard or was preserving his strength.

   What's more, there are also strong and weak points between the Knights and the Knights. Some knight orders are composed of pure knights, and some knight orders are also mixed with warriors.

   Leaving aside occupations, a knight group composed of junior knights is definitely not as good as a knight group composed of intermediate knights.

  The gap in combat power may even be several times as large, and it cannot be generalized at all.

   Hudson doesn't know the strength of the Mosi knights, but he has personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Beamon cavalry.

  The last time the elites were concentrated to encircle and annihilate a tired Beamon cavalry regiment that was not full of strength, they all paid a lot of losses.

   Now it is too embarrassing for him to face a full Beamon cavalry regiment.

  Perhaps the expeditionary army can block the charge of the Beamon cavalry by setting up a large formation, but there is no possibility of defeating the Beamon cavalry, or even delaying it.

   "Your Excellency, the first batch of supplies aided by the Human Alliance is already on the way.

  However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has coordinated with several neighboring countries. They will first borrow some of our strategic materials, and then repay them with the follow-up materials delivered by the alliance.

  At present, these materials have entered our country, but for the sake of safety, they are currently transported in small batches and multiple times.

  For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, the Expeditionary Force will be one of the troops that will be replenished in the first round.

  Considering the battle damage of the expeditionary force, we can provide a recruit army as a supplement. "

  Hudson didn't take Hodge's words to heart. "Friendship" or "friendship" is pure nonsense. If it weren't for the great achievements of the expeditionary army, it would be impossible to have this treatment.

  The Dukedom of Orton and the Earl of Ruilin, which also sent expeditionary forces, were destroyed when the expeditionary force was destroyed. Even if there are still residual forces, the Moxi people have not seen them helping them restore the system.

  In the final analysis, it is because of interests.

  The Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Force led by Hudson is capable of fighting and has great strategic significance for the Principality of Moxi. Even if it is not their own army, it is treated equally for the sake of national security.

  The Dukedom of Orton and the Expeditionary Force of the Earl of Ruilin, who have no combat effectiveness, have no real meaning to the Mosi people, and the national power behind them is not strong enough, so they are naturally ignored.

   At most, I can appreciate a few words on diplomatic occasions, but deep down I can’t tell how to despise the incompetence of the two families.

   "Your Excellency Marshal, if you can get the assistance of the alliance, then the chances of winning this operation will increase by three points.

   I just don’t know how many elite troops your country can invest this time besides the defenders of Dapes? "

   Hudson asked rationally.

  The icing really satisfies him, but he has to check first whether there are cannonballs wrapped inside.

  There is no point in caring about the ordinary army. As long as the Moxi people are willing, they can easily pull out hundreds of thousands.

   But this kind of army is purely majestic, even against the orc cannon fodder army. Although the lower limit of the orcs is low, as long as they have that bloodthirsty animal nature, they cannot be compared with ordinary serfs.

  According to past experience, the combat effectiveness of an ordinary orc army is about equal to that of a newly formed army trained by the Mosi for more than half a year.

   It mainly depends on the race. Some powerful races can even surpass some elite legions.

   Except for the five royal families, other powerful races in the Orc Empire have been greatly weakened. Either the genocide has already been exterminated, or it is on the verge of genocide.

  From this point of view, it is not only the rise of the human race that leads to the decline of the orc hegemony, but the internal struggle of the orcs is the core factor.

  If the five royal families of the orcs don't suppress the development of the powerful races below, maybe they can pull out elite troops now, and they can directly add a zero behind.

  The truth is that, but when it comes to their own interests, not everyone can let go.

  In order to protect the dominant position of the ruling group and suppress the rise of other races, this is just an instinct.

   "Three super-organized elite infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments, plus five knight regiments, and 15 new regiments.

  Counting the expeditionary force and the defenders in the city, we have enough advantages. "

   Marshal Hodge said confidently.

  Hearing this data, Hudson's face improved a lot.

  Terence was able to organize so many troops when Terrence was restrained by a large number of troops. The family property of the Principality of Moxi was a bit stronger than he expected.

   What he didn't know was that these forces were the last force that the Mossi people resisted after they moved their capital after the fall of Dapes.

  The sudden change in the situation gave the Moxi people hope, so they changed their original plan and planned to lift the siege of Dapace first.

  After contemplating for a moment, Hudson said slowly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, if your country can gather so many elites, it will not be difficult to break the siege of Dapes.

  The problem now is that the behavior of the orcs is very abnormal. Knowing that the main force besieging Da Pest City is insufficient, they did not send reinforcements.

   It's as if they're playing a big game of chess, just waiting to get us hooked, and the army besieging Dapace is the bait.

  I'm not very clear about the situation on the front line, but the bear court on the opposite side has indeed increased its troops.

  Two bear infantry regiments, plus a mysterious elephant cavalry. It's not an ordinary war elephant, but an elephant with the blood of a monster.

  The specific combat power is unknown. If there is half of the combat power of the legendary golem army, our cavalry can only take a detour!

   Orc ordinary legions will increase in number even more. We haven't figured out the specific number and strength, but at least it starts with 100,000 troops. "

   Hudson said solemnly.

  The Xiongren Royal Court increased its troops on a large scale, and it was all caused by him. Xiong Renhuang, who suffered a big loss, has become a frightened bird.

  A main army could no longer give him a sense of security, so he simply mobilized a large number of troops from the rear, directly eliminating the possibility of another attack.

  At least Hudson doesn't have the courage to attack the bear court again now.

   With so many troops coming, it must not be just to defend the home. It is entirely possible to take revenge on Flying Bear Castle.

   The delay in taking action is mainly a strategic issue. The Fort of Flying Bear cannot be taken down in a day or two, even a hundred and eighty thousand beast lives cannot fill this huge hole.

  The material reserves in the city. Recently, Hudson also took advantage of the peace vacuum created by him to obtain several material supplies.

  If you want to break through the city by siege, you must be prepared for a protracted war.

  The bears don't have that much time to spend here, even if they are willing to die here, the other four royal families will not agree.

  The best way to take revenge is not to storm the city, but to draw the expeditionary army out of the city for a decisive battle.

   In a face-to-face confrontation, a Ursaen infantry regiment expeditionary force can still handle it; two Ursaen infantry regiments rely on tactics to deal with it.

   If there are more, Hudson can only run away with the infantry. Even if half of the domestic recruits are already in place, the first few tens of thousands are still capable of fighting.

   "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, we have already found out clearly. The orcs assembled a large army on the front line, mainly to invade the Warhammer Kingdom.

  The Kingdom of Warhammer has assembled a heavy army, preparing for a decisive battle with the Orc Expeditionary Army in the province of Atrus.

  At this critical moment, the Orc Empire must gather heavy troops to launch a new round of offensive on the front line in order to contain the front line troops of the Warhammer Kingdom.

  From now on, the principality is no longer the focus of their attack. Perhaps at this time, the bear royal court has already begun to move.

  After the orcs complete the mobilization of troops, we will take immediate action. Even if they want to turn around, the transfer of the army cannot be completed in a day or two.

  As long as we are fast enough, we can break the siege of Dapes before the orc reinforcements arrive. "

  Seeing Marshal Hodge's confident look, Hudson stopped thinking about continuing to persuade.

  Whether it can be done or not, we still have to fight a battle to know. Everyone has prepared so well, it would be too shameless to pour cold water at this time.

   "No problem, as long as your country's army can contain the main army of the orcs and stop the reinforcements sent by the orcs, the rest will be left to the expeditionary army.

   However, regarding the issue of war horses and weapons and equipment, we still need to send someone to urge them. If the installation is completed one day earlier, our chances of winning will be one point higher. "

   Hudson said boldly.

  The sincerity of the tone did not give Marshal Hodge the slightest chance to refuse. Several times he wanted to speak, but finally he swallowed it back.

   After all, it is a guest army, and it is okay to ask others to help, but it is too embarrassing to expect others to be the main force to take over the most tiring work.

  The most important thing is that even if Hudson is willing to agree, the expeditionary force has no way to contain the Beamon Cavalry Legion of the orcs.

   It is useless to say what is destined to be impossible. Only the cavalry can really bring restraint to the Beamon Cavalry Corps.

   Two cavalry regiments + five knight regiments, the strength on paper is already very close to that of the Beamon cavalry regiment.

  If some cavalry are drawn from various troops to join the battle, maybe another cavalry regiment can be assembled.

  The strength gap between the two sides is not big, just to contain one or two, the possibility of failure is very small.

  The real trouble is to intercept reinforcements. If you can't stop the reinforcements from the orcs, no matter how well you fight ahead, it won't do anything.

  The five imperial families of the orcs send an elite army in, and the situation will be reversed again.

   "Your Excellency, you can rest assured that once the horses and weapons are in place, they will be equipped for the expeditionary army as soon as possible.

  As for the deployment of the war, it is still too early to talk about these. After the situation becomes clearer, we will communicate and discuss slowly. "

   After all, he lacked confidence, and Marshal Hodge did not dare to give an affirmative answer.

  The strategic focus of the orcs has shifted. That is just their inference based on changes in the battlefield situation, and it does not mean that it will definitely happen.

  In case someone feigns a shot and continues to catch them and beat them hard, it is not impossible to make up their minds to destroy the Principality of Moxi first.

  …

   After sending away Marshal Hodge, Hudson's focus returned to military training. Compared with the past, there have been quite a few changes in recent days.

  Although he has not received the clear allegiance of his subordinates, more and more nobles are showing favor to him.

   Temporarily unable to receive subordinates, but also can be friends. The grown-up world is real, and it comes down to a deal.

   "What can be obtained and what needs to be paid." will be the core factor that determines everyone's choice.

   This kind of thing is doomed not to be anxious. If you are too eager, you will expose your needs in advance, and you will put yourself in a passive position.

  Most of the nobles are ambitious, and they will not sell themselves to seek refuge unless they have to. The best way to compare with these people is not to subdue them, but to serve as political allies.

  As long as the relationship is handled well, when the flag is raised in the future to recruit people, someone will naturally send their children over.

  Compared to these nobles with titles and fiefs, those noble children who have nothing are the ones Hudson can really "afford to buy".

   "Your Excellency, this is the new plan for the expeditionary force, please have a look!"

   While speaking, Baron Kettley handed an official document to Hudson.

   This is also one of Hudson's recent achievements. Although there were no drastic reforms to the expeditionary force, he still created a small staff internally.

   The original military system has not been changed, and the newly released small staff department is limited to staff and assists in handling military affairs.

   It did not affect the leadership of noble officers over their own private army, did not violate the actual interests of everyone, and naturally did not cause waves.

  Including the current adjustment of the army establishment, it still follows the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom and expands step by step.

  Glanced at the list of officers and the configuration of troops above, there was not much change in the communication with colleagues, Hudson nodded slightly.

   "Just follow the above list and release it to the public!"
