The King

  Chapter 237 A big victory in the strategic sense

   Enemies meet each other, that is extraordinarily jealous. Hudson's name is well-known in the Orc Empire, and has dominated the reward list for many days.

  Even if they live in seclusion, they have ushered in several waves of assassins. Perhaps in order to attract more killers to participate, or perhaps an intelligence error, the Earth Bear was omitted from the information on the list.

   As a result, a group of foolish killers rushed in. Before they understood what was going on, they were picked out by the cubs and used as toys.

  In fact, the success rate of this kind of assassination of enemy generals has always been very low. For a cautious king like Hudson who goes in and out of the army, the assassin doesn't even have a chance to get close.

  The assassination can be successful, either by sneaking into the coach's side, or launching a sneak attack while he is out to place orders.

  Similar means, the Alpha Kingdom has already paid the tuition fees before. Now Mr. Hudson is surrounded by his own trusted guards, not even a maid, let alone let the orcs mix in.

  …

   "His Royal Highness, the human cavalry has arrived, and the leader seems to be that **** Hudson. Let me take the team out and show them some color!"

  Greg stepped forward to ask for a fight.

   It can be seen from his red eyes that he is full of hatred for Hudson.

   "Okay, then you will lead the troops to take the lead. Send the order, open the gate of the camp and attack with the whole army!"

  Prince Butzweig ordered solemnly.

  There is no word "defense" in Beamon's dictionary, especially in this kind of field encounter, there is no reason to retreat.

  Looking at their camp, you can tell that it is not a suitable place for defense. The most important thing is that the situation does not allow them to stick to it. Although there are only human cavalry outside now, the infantry may follow after a while.

  Once you confine yourself to the camp and lose the high mobility of the cavalry, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed.

  As the distance between the two sides continues to narrow, the peak collision of the two powerhouses will soon kick off in this wilderness.

   "The crossbowman is ready, wait for the opportunity to find the target to shoot, don't be polite to Beamon!"

  Hudson's commanding way is very unspeakable.

  For this battle, he took away all the miniature crossbows of the Mosi people. Especially those magic crossbows are weapons of war that can pierce the armor of heavy cavalry.

   "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

  A sound of arrows piercing through the air came out, and the Beamon cavalry rushing forward were almost shot into a sieve. The leader of the beast, Greg, went to see the beast **** before he understood what was going on.

  Seeing this scene, Prince Butzweig's expression changed drastically. It's too careless, the cavalry duel actually plays with magic technology.

   What worries him even more is that these humble miniature magic crossbows can burst out with such power when gathered together.

  If in the future, the human cavalry is equipped with a pair of magic crossbows, how can they be better than the Mongolian cavalry on the mainland?

   Is it necessary to continue to thicken the armor and enhance the defense of the soldiers?

   Or replace ordinary armor with high-defense magic armor?

  These two options are a disaster for the Bimon family.

  The armor continues to thicken, which means that the mobility will be further reduced.

  Magic armor is good for everything, but the cost is high and the output is low. They are all handmade by alchemists, and there is no possibility of mass production.

  The arrow flying from his forehead brought Prince Butzweig back to reality. The fate of the Beamon family should be considered in the future, and the most important thing now is to get through the current hurdle first.

  After paying the price of hundreds of cavalry losses, the two armies finally collided together, and in an instant, the famous scene of people turning their backs on their backs and beasts turning their backs on their backs was staged.

   "Human Knights!"

  This idea had just been born, and Prince Butzweig dropped the idea of ​​defeating the cavalry in front of him.

   There is no way, they are all enemies on horses, the difference in appearance is not big, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between knights and cavalry before the battle.

  Hudson's decision to let the Cavaliers take the lead is undoubtedly wise. In the brutal collision on the battlefield, the Beamon cavalry only had a slight advantage.

   Then this advantage is not enough for them to make up for their disadvantage in strength. After a round of head-on confrontation penetrated, hundreds of Beamon cavalrymen were added to the ground.

  The number of human cavalry killed in battle was actually even more, but it was not very eye-catching under the superiority of troops.

  The army turned their horses around, and the word "kill" was shouted from Hudson's mouth. The knights charged again, followed by countless cavalry.

  A new round of power collision occurred, and the battle scene became more and more bloody. In the collision between barbarism and civilization, it has become civilization that has the upper hand at this moment.

  Two rounds of peak duels, plus the hundreds of people who were taken away by the rain of arrows, the Beamon cavalry has lost more than a thousand people.

  Seeing this scene, Prince Butzweig, who was hiding in the army, secretly said, "Oops!"

  Although he wanted to take Hudson's head off, rationality eventually prevailed. After the second round of confrontation, he no longer turned the animal's head, and directly ordered to the soldiers: "Follow me!"

   While speaking, he led the troops and started running without looking back. By the time Hudson turned his horse's head, the distance between the two sides had increased to hundreds of meters.

  Looking at the fleeing Beamon cavalry, Hudson only felt a little unreal. This time he didn't have to hang up, and Mr. Bear Stearns slept on his shoulder from the beginning to the end.

"Chase!"

   Hudson immediately ordered.

  As soon as the Beamon cavalry withdrew, the outcome of this battle was decided in advance. It's rare to have this kind of opportunity to beat a dog in the water, so naturally I can't let it go.

  Hacking one to death counts as one. For a race with a sparse population like Bimon, killing is the best strategy.

   On the plain land, there was a scene of chasing and fleeing. In theory, chasing Beamon cavalry now is useless.

   But this is not a prairie after all. The avenue is only a few meters wide and cannot accommodate too many cavalry. The fleeing Bimon cavalry will inevitably trample on the farmland on both sides of the road.

  However, there are still a few pits in the farmland along the way. It is inevitable that the beast stumbles occasionally.

  The real meaning of this pursuit is to kill these unlucky ones who have accidents. Of course, it does not rule out that the Beamon officer was unlucky and led the troops into a certain "dead end".

  Plain land, it’s just that the land as a whole is flat, it doesn’t mean that all the land is on the same horizon without any obstacles.

   Occasionally, a few small dirt bumps appear, a narrow road emerges, or a canyon or river appears, all of which are possible.

  Looking at the Eagle Man circling in the distant sky, Hudson cursed secretly, "Unlucky!"

   With these guys guiding the way in the sky, expecting the enemy to lead the army into a "dead end" is basically a dead end.

  An opportunity to wipe out the Beamon Cavalry Corps just slipped away in his hands, but the hunt still had to continue.

   Thirty miles, fifty miles, one hundred miles... During the chase and escape battle, they ran to the border of the Principality of Moxi.

   "Stop chasing!"

  Hudson stopped the chasing team with a wave of his hand.

   I can't continue to chase, even if I have the blood of a monster, the endurance of the horse is still limited after all.

  In the previous pursuit, there were not a few horses that were exhausted to death. Now even Hudson's own war horse is exhausted and out of breath, and if it continues to chase, it might die again.

   After paying such a high price, the results obtained are not cheap. The Beamon Cavalry Legion, which fled in a hurry, has now been severely damaged.

   It is estimated that half of them escaped into the Principality of Orton, so they are lucky. The rest were either separated during the chase and escape battle, or were sent to meet the beast god.

   "A group of remnants and defeated generals, I guess the Principality of Orton should be able to solve it?"

   Hudson said to himself somewhat uncertainly.

   It’s really not that he wants to cheat the Principality of Orton, but the enemy is running there with all his heart, and he can’t stop it even if he wants to.

  If the Beamon cavalry were a little more honest and ran to join the reinforcements, Hudson can guarantee that even if they can't destroy their entire army, they can also destroy their establishment.

  Running to other countries has a similar ending. As long as the troops of the neighboring countries stop them a little bit, this group of Bimons will be finished.

   Only the Duchy of Orton is an exception. In the previous battles, he had already been severely injured by the human-orc expeditionary force, and now he was in a state of defenselessness.

   To be able to keep a core area where the capital is located is considered a very hard work. For border defense, let's save money first!

   After resting on the spot for two days, Hudson ordered the army to return. Resting for such a long time is not only to let the soldiers relax the tense time, but also to worry about the return of the Beamon cavalry.

  It turned out that he was simply overthinking. The Beamon Cavalry Corps who fled into the Principality of Orton just rested for one night, and then continued to run away.

   Judging from the route of the march, either they are consolidating some of the Principalities of Orton, or they are preparing to enter the Kingdom of Warhammer.

   No matter what the situation is, it seems that they have cheated their teammates. Let the Moxi people deal with this kind of thing, anyway, the battle is won.

  Although thousands of cavalry were lost and tens of thousands of war horses were wasted, but in the face of the record of the Beamon Cavalry Corps, everything is not worth mentioning.

   It seems that there are not many enemies wiped out, but another way of saying it is different: 1.5% of the population of the Beamon clan has been wiped out, and all of them are young and strong.

  War Qualitative Hudson has already thought about it, a big victory of great "strategic significance". It is definitely enough to take it out and brag about it.

  Compared to the speed of the wind when they came, when they returned, they turned from cavalry to infantry, and they swayed slowly at a speed of fifty miles a day.

   They were all forced out. When chasing Beamon cavalry, they always galloped wildly. The nasty horse that was originally used for transportation was naturally discarded behind.

  The sequelae of overuse of horses have broken out one after another in the past two days.

  Fortunately, this is a world with extraordinary power. The specially made magic potion saved the lives of many horses, otherwise these cavalry might really become infantry.

   Now there is no need to hurry, so it is natural to cherish horsepower. Intuition told Hudson that these highly effective magic potions were not good products.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that the continent of Aslant is off the tech tree. All healing magic is at the cost of consuming the vitality of the wounded.

  The situation of the treatment potion is not much better, but any potion that can be effective immediately needs to pay a price.

  …

  In the Beamon camp of the Principality of Orton, Prince Butzweig, who received the news of Hudson's withdrawal, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Before he could be happy, the casualty data reported by his subordinates shattered his good mood.

  Looking at the half-numbered officers in the camp, Prince Butzweig said in a low tone: "The failure of this battle is mainly because we underestimated the power of the human race. After all, the hegemony of the mainland is not so easy to shake!

   I think you have also felt that, although the combat effectiveness of the Terran Knights is slightly weaker than ours, they have almost made up for this gap by virtue of their superiority in weapons and equipment.

  Even those human cavalry, led by the Knights, can cause us a lot of casualties.

  I will be responsible for the explanation at the imperial court, and I will not hold you accountable for the defeat, but I hope that everyone will learn from it and restrain their pretentious arrogance.

  We must always remember that our enemy is not a weak slime, but the overlord who dominates the continent of Aslant.

  Although the enemy is powerful, the heroic Beamon..."

   Beating the generals under his command again, and boosting morale, Prince Butzweig is also fighting now.

   Don't look at the easy words, he will handle it in the imperial court. But the orc empire is cruel, and the internal competition of the Beamon clan is not much worse.

  After such a big defeat, he will never be relentless in catching his braided competitor.

  If it weren't for the army hanging out alone now, maybe the command authority would be lifted.

   Reason told him that if he didn't perform well in the future, at least he would have to peel off his skin after returning.

   "His Royal Highness, judging from the current situation, this operation against the Principality of Moxi may not be able to achieve its original purpose.

   It is better to send people to contact the reinforcements from all walks of life, and invite them to come down to the south and join us, so that everyone can join forces and enter the Kingdom of Warhammer together. "

   Clark suggested.

   As a counselor, his fate is closely related to Prince Butzweig. If something goes wrong with the boss, his younger brother will also be unlucky.

  With the orc royal family's discrimination against these vassal races, it is not easy to meet a boss like Prince Butzweig who can listen to persuasion. Even if you want to change the court, it is not feasible.

   "It's too late, if the strength of the army has not been damaged. It is indeed a good way to invite reinforcements from all walks of life to enter the Kingdom of Warhammer together.

  At this point, even if we can join forces, the right to speak we can get will not be high.

  Even if they won a big victory in the Warhammer Kingdom, it would be difficult to make up for the impact of this defeat. There is only one way left for us, and that is to go all the way south and disturb the hinterland of the human race.

  The strength of the human race in the northern continent is not too strong. Except for the Kingdom of Alpha, the Kingdom of Warhammer and the Principality of Moxi, the rest are a group of small countries.

  With the strength in our hands, we can completely cause a big chaos. Duke Daniel has set an example for us, and we just have to follow the example.

  The order continues, and then all human villages and small towns will be destroyed, and all the serfs and civilians on these lands will be driven out.

  We need a refugee wave, a large-scale refugee wave that can shake the rule of the human race in the north! "

  Prince Butzweig said indifferently.

  If you want to make a comeback from the Jedi, you must use a strange move. According to the normal style of play, no matter how he behaves next, it will be difficult for him to gain enough exploits to cover up his previous defeat.

   "Your Highness, it is not difficult to set off a wave of refugees to disrupt the human nations, but relying on these alone, the imperial court may not be able to explain it.

  Unless we can spread chaos all the way to the middle of the continent, effectively weakening the war potential of the human race. only…"

   Before the middle-aged general finished speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Butzweig with a wave. It is not that simple to spread chaos to the middle of the continent.

   The human kingdoms in the middle are not fools. It is estimated that before they get close, their army will kill them.

   Just suffered a severe beating by a human cavalry, no Behemoth can guarantee that this half-disabled legion can withstand the military blow of a kingdom.

   "The wave of refugees does not necessarily have to enter the central part of the continent, the same is true for driving refugees into the Alpha Kingdom!

  Of course, if the size of the refugee wave is large enough to cause trouble for the countries in the middle of the ethnic group, that would be even better! "

   Thank you, the ethereal leader, I owe more +1, and strive to pay back soon, love you Haiyue!
