Chapter 550 Steering
In the middle of the night, the barracks of the Second Army suddenly started to move. All the non-commissioned officers were called up, and then their soldiers were also called up. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Second Army had enough rest, and the rest of the shift was basically It can be regarded as recovering spirit.
"Is the matter going smoothly?" While waiting for the soldiers to assemble, Li Huailin asked McCann about the current situation.
"Uh, it went well..." McCann nodded. In the afternoon, all the 50,000 orc soldiers dug a hole and buried themselves. When they dug the hole, they didn't even know that the hole was prepared for them. After they became captives, they naturally knew that they were coolies. When humans asked them to work, they naturally started to do it. Although they didn't know why they had to dig a hole, a group of people started digging without asking any questions. They kept digging until the human soldiers above started to fill in the soil. Then they realized that something was wrong. The other party wanted to bury themselves alive, but the problem was that they dug too deep, and they couldn't climb up by themselves, and they didn't have weapons to resist. , the top is full of fully armed human soldiers. Once someone climbs up, they will stab down with a sword without mercy. The resistance is fruitless. All the orc soldiers are buried alive amidst the constant shouts of cursing humans. The scene is extremely terrifying , Even human soldiers can't stand it anymore.
"OK, that's good." Li Huailin said casually, "What about other situations, has this matter been spread now?"
"I haven't received the news yet, but I guess it won't be long before I can hide it. Some soldiers escaped from the Demon Race, and there were a few scouting teams from the Beast Race. Now we have caught some of them who came back. , but there are still many that have not been caught, and it is estimated that they have already reported to the police." McCann said.
"Well. Forget it, don't worry, there is no need to hide your whereabouts now." Li Huailin said.
"Speaking of Marshal, you just said that you are going to attack the city. Could it be that you are attacking the city of Secastle?" McCann asked.
"Nonsense, are there other cities nearby?" Li Huailin said. "What's the problem?"
"There should be no troops in Secastle City, but it seems useless for us to fight it down. This is just a small town. Isn't our goal now to rescue the elf troops? Why should we spend time attacking such a small town? Shouldn't we hurry up?" Is it time to rush to the battlefield? Now that we have regained our numerical advantage, we can just take advantage of the situation and join forces with the elves to wipe out all the army of the orcs..." McCann said excitedly. It's a pity that Li Huailin interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"Kill the yarn." Li Huailin said, "Think about the current situation."
"The current situation?" McCann asked strangely.
"You said that I am now uniting with the elves' troops to fight against the two legions of the orcs. Can I defeat them?" Li Huailin asked.
"This...it should work." McCann thought for a while and said.
"You still thought about it for 2 seconds? This shit must be instant kill, don't you think I can't beat it?" Li Huailin said.
"Sorry Marshal, but since we can fight. Why don't we fight?" McCann asked.
"Why are we fighting? Kill the orc troops so that the elves can swallow the orc territory?" Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "The orcs have just embezzled a large amount of elf land, the most inappropriate They actually slaughtered the people of the elves, and now the elves must be fighting with the orcs, so why don't we let them fight?"
"This... Let them fight?" McCann thought for a while, "It's not good."
"Not good? What's wrong. Our goal is to raise the elves as a dog. The purpose of sending troops this time is to tell the elves that you can bite people with confidence. Master, I'm here to support you, that's all. , if it can't bite, why should we raise it?" Li Huailin said.
"Well... Marshal, you mean that we just need to keep the elves from being killed by the orcs and have the ability to fight back and forth with the orcs?" McCann thought for a while and said.
"Now the elves still have 90,000 troops, and the orcs still have about 150,000. The orcs still have a little advantage, and my goal is to reduce the troops on both sides to about 60,000 to 70,000... This should be nothing It's a big problem." Li Huailin said.
"Reduce both sides to 60,000?" McCann was a little surprised, it's fine to lower the orcs to 60,000, but the elves also have to drop?
"That's right." Li Huailin nodded, "This time it's settled once and for all. With this amount, both sides should only fight small-scale battles."
"Then... what should we do now? What does the attack on Secastle have to do with this?" McCann asked.
"Now we...need reinforcements." Li Huailin said suddenly.
"Reinforcements?" McCann said strangely. The Second Army lost more than 3,000 people in the two battles, and most of them were infantry. The main force was not lost at all. The 90,000 troops are still here. And where are the reinforcements now?
"I heard that Corbat, the leader of the Orc First Legion, is a very capable guy. It's all thanks to this guy that he was able to capture the city of Zulina this time, right?" Li Huailin said suddenly.
"Yes." McCann naturally had read all the information, and immediately replied, "This Korbat is the number one warrior on the side of the orcs. He is extremely capable, and he is also very good at strategy. , This time the attack on the city of Zulina was all because of this guy's contribution, not only the second and third legions of the elves were defeated, but also the extremely strong city of Zulina was successfully captured, which is simply a perfect record."
"That's good, go and call Veronica." Li Huailin said.
"Oh, yes, Marshal!" McCann was a little puzzled, but still nodded.
Soon Veranika was taken to Li Huailin's camp, and at this time Li Huailin was looking at the big map.
"Marshal!" Veronica immediately saluted.
"Veranika, look at this road." Li Huailin pointed to a road on the map and said, "If it were you, where would you set up an ambush?"
"Ambush?" Veronica walked to the map and looked at it, then pointed to a place and said, "From the topography, this should be the best place. There are mountains around, and we ambush the demons." The army is about the same place."
"Is it here... um... no, the leader of the elves is Sarina. Although this guy will come up for a while, the distance is too far. Selina may react. In this case, ambush The location should still be somewhere in front, such as here..." Li Huailin pointed to another place.
"Here... the terrain is slightly wider than the previous place, but it is also a good place to ambush." Vikanika also nodded, "Marshal, why are you asking me this? Are we going to ambush the elves' troops? "
"I'm just choosing the location of the decisive battle." Li Huailin said with a smile, "By the way, I'm looking for you to find reinforcements. We don't have enough soldiers."
"Huh?" Veronica was taken aback, 90,000 troops are not enough? What kind of battle is this going to fight?
"Anyway, you just..." Li Huailin gave Veranika an order. Veronica here nodded.
"Marshal, the soldiers are ready." At this time McCann also came in and reported.
"Just right, let's attack the city directly." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
In Secastle City, the city lord Jacobo has received the news. He is the first person to receive the news that the second army of the orcs was completely annihilated by the human army. He had already seen the beasts in the distance at noon yesterday. When black smoke appeared in the direction of the clan barracks, something was wrong. They sent people to check, but they bumped into the orc scouts who had escaped halfway, and they were shocked when they asked.
Jia Kebo was terrified at the time. On the one hand, he hurriedly sent people to the main city of the Orcs to report the emergency situation, and on the other hand, he immediately began to prepare to defend the city. The next target of the opponent might be his own city of Secastle , but the problem is that there are now less than 1,000 troops in Secastle City, facing 90,000 troops. How could it be possible to defend this? I thought it would be the safest to stay next to the camp of the Orc Second Legion, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
Jia Kebo didn't want to give up his city. After all, he had run the city for many years, and now he could only hope that the troops of the human race would not attack him. If he wanted to fight, he had to wait for his own reinforcements to arrive, but it was a pity that no one wanted it. In the middle of the night, Jia Kebo was pulled up by a burst of alarm bells.
"My lord, the human army is attacking the city!" The soldier next to him hurriedly said.
"This time it's over!" Jia Kebo's first reaction was that it was over. Although they had city defense, the difference in numbers was too great. The number on the opposite side was 100 times that of their own. How could it be possible to defend it.
"Run, run quickly!" Jakobo said immediately.
"No way, city lord, the human army has blocked all sides, and there is no way out!" said the soldier.
"This... isn't this a dead end?" Jia Kebo panicked instantly.
"Report! The west city gate has been breached by the enemy, and the enemy has already entered the city!" Another soldier rushed over to report.
"My lord, let's put on makeup and blend in with the crowd. As long as we don't get caught, we still have a chance to escape." The soldier next to him immediately suggested.
"This...that's a good idea." Jia Kebo panicked. Hearing this, his attention was very good. As long as he is not caught now, he can still escape when the human troops leave or the orc troops return. He went out, so he nodded immediately, took a few skilled guards, changed into civilian clothes, and immediately escaped from the city lord's mansion with his family.
On the other side, Li Huailin stood under the city, watching the agreed signal appear at the west gate. There is nothing to say about this siege battle. The number of opponents is too small, and the morale is extremely low. The human army puts the ladder up and climbs directly. The soldiers on the other side can't defend it In many places, after only half an hour of fighting, the city gate to the west was broken, and then large troops rushed in, and the battle was over.
Soon, all four city gates were broken, and the gates were opened wide. All the orc troops either died in battle or surrendered, and the battle ended immediately.
"Report to Marshal, the City Lord's Mansion has been captured, but there is no one inside." A soldier ran to Li Huailin and reported.
"The city lord Jakobo must be hiding here," McCann said.
"It doesn't matter." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I want to slaughter the city, let's see where he can hide."
"Massacre?" McCann said in surprise.
