The King

  The sky gradually brightened, the first ray of sunlight at dawn sprinkled on the earth, and the horn of charge sounded from the sky.

  The enemy sent reinforcements, and the battle came to an end. There are less than 3,000 alien coalition forces left on the battlefield, and it seems that if you put in more effort, the enemy army can be wiped out.

"hehe…

  Hudson, let you do all kinds of calculations, didn't you think that you will still fall short in the end? "

  The silver bell-like laughter revealed Doris' inner joy.

   After a night of torment, the moment of reversal finally came. This feeling is beyond words.

   "Miss Doris, don't get too excited, let's see how many active elves there are on the battlefield.

  Okay, this battle should be over, we have a chance to see you again. "

   After finishing speaking, Hudson decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.

  The battle has progressed so far, and the expeditionary force is also very exhausted. If it continues, it may be able to wipe out the enemy army in front of it, but its own losses will also be very heavy.

  Seeing Hudson's proud expression, the elf young woman's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

  The entire army was almost wiped out, but only part of the remnants were saved, which is not a victory at all.

  In an instant, Doris' anger swelled to the limit. Considering the difference in force between the two sides, he put off the idea of ​​fighting Hudson, and his eyes were full of murderous intent in the direction of the reinforcements.

  Obviously my family came to help, but in the end it became the main force on the battlefield, but my allies watched the fun.

   The fellow troops sent by the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants had almost died in the battle. The few survivors were scattered on the battlefield, and they couldn't be found without looking carefully.

   If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. After ignoring these teammates, Doris directly labeled the Alliance of Ancient Remnants as unreliable.

   Just a few thousand human cavalry can hold back an army of 200,000 for so long?

   Once the seed of doubt was born, it became a thorn buried deep in her heart, which would never go away.

   Just rationally told him that there is no reason for the Alliance of Ancient Remnants to cheat teammates at this time. Without the support of the elves, they could not escape the liquidation of the human race after the war.

  Looking at the direction Hudson left, Doris said to herself, "Is this part of your plan?

   If the famous generals of the human race are so powerful, let the elves be flexible! "

  …

   Leaving the battlefield, looking down at the shrinking team below, Hudson secretly sighed.

   "Stop to take a rest and count the casualties of each unit.

  The priest is doing his best to treat the wounded. He can use magic potions, but try not to use divine spells. "

  Frankly speaking, the current location is not safe, only thirty miles away from the battlefield.

  But the expeditionary army was exhausted, and the enemy army was also tossed all day and night, and was in a state of exhaustion.

  If there were 20,000 more cavalry in his hands, Hudson would never mind killing his carbine.

  Let’s forget it now, it’s not worthwhile to exchange the elite of the kingdom with the alliance of the ancient survivors.

  …

   "Marshal, this time I was greedy for credit and failed to buy enough time for the army. Please deal with..."

   Before Jose could finish his apology, Hudson laughed.

   "No, not only are you innocent, but you have merit!

   Missed the opportunity to wipe out the remnants of the enemy army, but got the opportunity to defeat the main force of the enemy army. No matter how you look at it, it is a big profit.

  The battlefield is ever-changing. If there is a chance to burn down the enemy camp, I would give up the interception plan. "

  After hearing what Hudson said, Jose became even more disturbed.

   Where did he want to break through the enemy camp, he was playing "surround Wei and save Zhao" with the enemy exactly as Hudson ordered.

  How come after playing a few times, the enemy army figured out his strength and thought it was impossible for him to break through the camp with so few troops.

  The enemy refused to turn around and return for help, so the feint attack that was originally planned turned into a strong attack.

   "Marshal, after we broke through the enemy camp, we didn't find much food and supplies.

   Except for the 10,000 enemy troops left behind, the rest are wounded. For this reason, three hundred monster cavalry were lost, and the record is actually very average! "

   Jose hurriedly explained.

   Whether the record is good or bad, it also depends on who you compare it with.

  Compared with the battle commanded by Hudson, sacrificing three hundred monster cavalry in exchange for such a result is really impossible.

  The 50,000 reinforcements who stormed the enemy before, the Warcraft Legion did not have such a big loss.

   But the account can't be calculated in this way. Uncontrollable factors like pig teammates can't be expected to encounter every time.

   "General Jose, from a tactical point of view, the actual benefits of this battle are indeed not great.

  Compared with our previous achievements, it is not worth mentioning. But war is not only military, but more political.

  The reinforcements from the Alliance of Ancient Remnants were slow to move, causing the elves to be disabled by us. Can the elves have no idea?

  Once a rift is created, it is not so simple to bridge it. At least in the short term, it is impossible for the elves to send reinforcements to them.

  In terms of military affairs, except for the fact that the more than 20,000 wounded are not counted as military achievements, we can roughly calculate an account.

   First, you wiped out 15,000 enemy troops transporting food and grass, and then severely damaged more than 20,000 enemy reinforcements. You also contributed to the record of annihilating 10,000 enemies. It is conservatively estimated that you wiped out more than 45,000 enemy troops.

  If you consider your sneak attack halfway and the enemy's non-combat attrition, the loss of the foreign coalition forces may be around 50,000.

   No matter how much food and grass you have in the burned camp, the enemy army is now out of food, and the morale of the army will definitely be hit hard.

  Perhaps all ethnic groups have hidden some carry-on dry food, but the quantity is absolutely impossible. Maybe they will have another fight because of the dry food problem.

   There are two ways before them, either use the corpses on the battlefield as rations, or slaughter the mounts and animals to fill the gap.

   It doesn’t matter to the soldiers of the Alliance of Ancient Remnants, but the soldiers of the Elf clan definitely cannot accept taking the corpses of their companions as rations.

  When races with different philosophies collide, there will inevitably be conflicts.

   Besides us, the next two hundred miles will not be easy for the enemy! "

  The surprise came so suddenly that Hudson was a little confused.

  If the enemy camp is still there, regardless of whether there is a shortage of food, it can be solved secretly.

  Now all the soldiers know that the food and grass have been destroyed, and if the officers take out meat as military rations, the source will be exposed in an instant.

   There are many races in the Alliance of Ancient Remnants. Some races are used to eating the corpses of their companions, but more are against it.

   It is inevitable that the already unstable alliance will be divided again.

  With so many unfavorable factors superimposed, Hudson doesn't believe that he still can't find a chance to severely injure the enemy.

  While rejoicing, Hudson is also a little worried. The number of troops following him has become less and less.

   Of the 35,000 people who went on the expedition, there are now less than 30,000 left, including 5,000 wounded.

  If the expeditionary force hadn't won all the way to cover up the impact of casualties, the morale of the army would have been affected.

  In any case, the army must rest after this battle.

  …

  On the battlefield, the atmosphere of the coalition forces of different races was particularly bleak.

   Desperately rushed to the reinforcements, but did not expect to be lonely. Even though they knew that the enemy's position was not far away, no one proposed to pursue them.

   Everyone is a tired army. If you insist on catching up and encounter the enemy army who has rested for a few hours, it will be killing you.

   "What are you all doing to eat, why did you delay arriving until now?"

   Doris asked murderously.

  Bringing a full-stacked elf army, I thought it would be able to shine and make the elf family famous.

   Never expected that within a few days of arriving at the front line, the entire army was almost wiped out.

  This kind of thing happened, and an explanation must be given to the clan. Otherwise, even if they are strong in the sanctuary, they will be punished when they go back.

   It is impossible for Doris to take the blame.

  She sent troops at the invitation of the Ancient Remnant Clan Alliance. In the end, because the reinforcements did not arrive on time, the army suffered heavy losses. The responsibility lies with the Ancient Remnant Clan Alliance.

   As for what happened in the middle, that is the responsibility of the Alliance of the Ancient Remains itself. She just needs to catch them not fulfilling the agreement.

   Doris doesn't care about the follow-up effects. The premise of friendship is reciprocity, and the performance of the alliance of the ancient survivors is really difficult to gain her respect.

   If they fall out, it won't affect the overall situation. From the moment they send troops to join the war, the Alliance of Ancient Remnants has no way out.

  The war has been fought until now, even if they are willing to defect, it is impossible for the human race to accept it.

  Because of the invasion of the Ancient Remnant Race Alliance, the number of human races who died has long been in the millions. If the indirect death is counted, it is afraid that it will soon exceed tens of millions.

  So many people have died, if there is no response, how can the human race have the nerve to say that they are the overlord of the mainland.

  Including Hudson's political inducement to surrender, it is actually a painting. Hudson would not have the guts to ask him to surrender the Ancient Remnant Alliance and promise not to liquidate them after the war.

  From the beginning to the end, the slogan thrown by Hudson was just "those who surrender will not be killed".

   Not killing does not mean not pursuing accountability.

  A typical political slogan, it’s okay to fool the soldiers of the ancient survivors who don’t read much, and the old nobles who are politically skilled can see the problem at a glance.

  It is true that the Alpha Kingdom does not have to hold them accountable, but no one knows whether the Principality of Moxie, the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms, and the countries of the Northern Continent should hold them accountable.

   The final fate is either reduced to a slave, or taken out by the nobles to a public trial to gain reputation.

   Especially the countries that will occupy the land of the Warhammer Kingdom in the future need to focus on this aspect.

   "My lord, we were blocked by enemy troops on the road, and we broke through the blockade only after suffering heavy casualties.

  In order to reinforce the front line in time, we didn't even take care of the rear camp, resulting in the massacre of more than 10,000 defenders and more than 20,000 wounded! "

  The Shadow King, who was pushed to the front, explained with a bitter face.

  It's not easy to be the boss, he has not yet become the boss of the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants, but he was pushed out to carry the thunder.

  If the violent venerable in front of him was so angry that he slapped him to death directly, it would be in vain.

  The Alliance of Ancient Remained Clans has no ability to stand up for him, and the weak Shadow Clan dare not compare blindly.

  "Allies" are just the last fig leaf. With the continuous failures on the battlefield, the voice of the Alliance of Ancient Remnants is constantly being weakened.

   Originally wanted to vent her anger, but suddenly thought of something, Doris suddenly suppressed her anger, pretending to be helpless and said:

   "Forget it, things have already happened, saying these things at this moment can't change anything, let's think about the next battle situation!

   How difficult Hudson is, I think you know it well. Now that the coalition forces have suffered heavy losses and lost supplies, it is impossible for him to let go of this opportunity to make things worse.

  Do you have a solution? "

   It seems that she is always thinking about her allies, but in fact, Doris doesn't take the Alliance of the Ancient Remnants seriously at all.

   Being able to speak politely is because these guys still have final use value.

  It is unrealistic to expect them to destroy the expeditionary army, but it is also good news for the elves to cause certain casualties to the opponent.

  If the Alliance of the Remained Ancient Clans loses too quickly, the legion she led may have to lose all of it.

  In the battle last night, almost everyone in the Elf Legion was injured, and more than two-thirds of them were seriously injured.

  Based on the current state of the wounded, at least half of the wounded should be broken in for the priests to cast divine spells.

  Death at the hands of the enemy made Doris feel pain, and it was even worse if she died at the hands of her own.

   It's not really hopeless, the magic krypton life is too powerful, and there are magic potions as substitutes.

  Even if you lack arms and legs and want to be reborn with severed limbs, you can wait until your body recovers, and there is no need to rush to death.

   All the kings look at me and I look at you, each and every one of them has helplessness written on their faces.

  From the level of civilization, they are large tribal chiefs. The vast majority of races do not even have written words, and knowledge is passed on by word of mouth.

   "Your Excellency, I will tell you the truth. We are all rough people, and we have used our previous experience in fighting with soldiers. We have never encountered the current situation, and we don't know how to learn from it?

   Please show me the solution to break the situation! "

  The Shadow King said boldly.

  He knows very well that this proposal will make many people in the league uncomfortable, but he will not do it if he can choose.

   Opposition is non-existent.

  Doris's murderous look just now scared everyone. Who knows what will happen next after angering this person.

   "If you have anything to think about, hurry up and deal with the logistics supplies! Could it be that you want to lead the team to chase the enemy's cavalry at this time?"

  Doris said angrily.

   It’s not a question of whether to counsel or not. The main reason is that the ancient survivors were too poor to support cavalry, which caused the current strategic passiveness.

  The general direction can be judged at a glance, but the specific implementation is another big problem. Sending people from the rear to deliver supplies is to contribute to the enemy's record.

   From the distance between the camps of the two sides, it can be seen that the expeditionary army is preparing to entangle them and does not want this army to leave.

   Judging from the paper data alone, the alliance has a total force of 180,000, which is six times that of the enemy, occupying an absolute advantage.

  The reality is that there is no advantage in military strength, but it cannot be used. If you want to start a counterattack, you can't find a chance to make a move.

   After looking at each other, the expressions of the kings suddenly became dignified. There is a solution to food and grass, but no one dares to propose it at this time.

  …
