Chapter 922: Stalemate (Part 1)

The war in the human world slowly fell into a strange state.

On the front battlefield, facing the Great Wall defense line built by humans over a long period of time, the orc army was helpless even with the help of magic.

The walls of the Great Wall are high and thick, and are reinforced with magic. Ordinary swords can only leave an inconspicuous mark, which will disappear after a while. These walls are not simply connected into one piece, but rely on the ground veins, and are uneven. Among them, many tortuous urn structures are formed. If you want to rush in along the road, you will fall into the urn and be attacked from several sides, and it is easy to be wiped out.

Therefore, to attack this line of defense, you must and can only rely on equipment such as ladders to climb up the wall.

However, when it comes to the level of siege equipment, the orcs' technology is really a bit terrible. After so many years, they have not been able to invent some more powerful things-it is really unnecessary. The orcs themselves do not have the habit of building high and thick walls, and they also have no habit of siege. Moreover, even if we face the towering and steep walls, we still have flying monsters and mid- and high-level warriors.

But for the Great Wall defense line, flying monsters are useless, and mid- and high-level warriors are also useless.

Humans also have flying troops, and the number is also huge. Maybe the total number is not as many as the orcs, but at least it is enough for defense.

In terms of the number of warriors, the human side has an absolute advantage. In the last major battle, the confrontation between the legendary warriors of both sides ended with the defeat of the orcs. Unfortunately, the battle dragged on for a long time and ultimately did not have any decisive significance for the war.

In this regard, the situation is just the opposite of the flying soldiers.

But if the Great Wall defense line is used as a battlefield, and the legendary warriors of both sides start a long fight, then the numerical disadvantage of the orcs will be fully revealed. At that time, I am afraid that the legendary warriors will suffer a lot of losses, which is unacceptable to the orc emperor.

The loss of some ordinary soldiers is not a problem for this kind of clan war, but the number of legendary masters is not large to begin with, and if more are lost, the situation will be even worse.

Since the legendary masters cannot fight, the orcs are naturally at an absolute disadvantage. If they want to attack the city, they can only fill it with human lives.

Do they have enough lives?

Of course they do.

But the orc emperor does not intend to use human lives to fill that terrifying defense line.

"No need." He said at the evening military meeting, "There are more people on the human side than us, and food is definitely tighter than ours. Moreover, they lack enough spellcasters, and the treatment of the wounded and the recuperation of the patients... these are all disadvantages."

"More importantly, their logistics line is about to have problems." There was a cold smile on the emperor's old face, "Tens of thousands of people are constantly destroying them in their rear, and your majesties' gods are attacking temples and altars. They can't hold on for long!"

This is the result of the discussion of the staff group. According to their estimates, the military rations of the human side will probably support about one month. After one month, millions of troops will face the dilemma of food shortage.

At that time, humans will either take the initiative to attack or retreat. There is no other choice.

Emperor Yiluo is not worried about the safety of the mobile forces. They are not isolated and helpless like the mobile forces of the Southern Corps of the Gold Coin Federation. Behind them are the great gods and a large number of gods.

These gods will provide them with sufficient intelligence and support in time, so that they can maintain a good state, and even deliver supplies for them - with the help of the gods, even if they are alone in the deep, they are not isolated and helpless.

On the contrary, in reality, they may live a more comfortable and comfortable life than the main army that is staring at the human army on the west side of the Great Wall defense line.

After all, the enemies they have to face are not strong, they are nothing more than some militias or noble private armies. The elite troops of mankind have either gathered at the Great Wall defense line or are guarding the key points of the supply line. It is impossible to draw enough troops to deal with them.

As for the problem of drawing a few strong men, facing tens of thousands of troops and the strong men who may be hidden in the army, what is the use of a few strong men? It is nothing more than sending them to death.

In fact, the human side can also mobilize a few troops to encircle and suppress them. With the advantage of military strength, this is not impossible. But the orcs had the help of the gods to collect intelligence, and they easily avoided the two encirclements of the human army. The second time, they even took advantage of the opportunity to set a trap and launched a beautiful counterattack.

As the days passed, the weather gradually became warmer, but the hearts of the commanders on both sides were cold.

The cold was not despair or fear, but murderous intent.

The human side had suffered huge losses. The losses in the previous positional warfare were fine, but the harassment by the orc mobile forces in their hinterland during this period was really a heavy loss. At least hundreds of towns and villages were reduced to ruins, and more than 100,000 civilians became refugees and needed help-and all this was just the beginning.

100,000 people are not many, but it is not so easy to prepare food and shelter for an additional 100,000 people.

After repeated consideration, the human side finally had to choose to migrate these 100,000 people to the Great Wall defense line. Only there could they get enough food and shelter.

As for the problem of danger, if the army was defeated, where else would not be dangerous?

As for the orcs, the mobile forces were a little tired after more than ten days of continuous fighting. The most important thing was that they had not yet achieved their biggest goal.

For the orc mobile forces, attacking the human hinterland and creating a large number of refugees was just a side goal. Their main goal was to destroy the human supply line. However, humans certainly expected this. Every stronghold on the entire supply line was heavily defended, almost all of which were fortresses, and heavily guarded. The orc mobile forces were enough to attack noble castles or towns, but they were far from enough to attack fortresses with heavy guards.

In this case, the orcs who went deep behind enemy lines could not help but get irritated.

According to tradition, they should capture a large number of humans at this time, force these civilians to attack the fortress, and use their lives to consume the weapons and morale of the fortress defenders. This method is cruel, vicious, and very effective.

However, it didn't work this time.

When the orc mobile forces held a military meeting at night to discuss this plan, they heard a roar from the sky.

The sturdy tent was torn into pieces, and the huge green jellyfish looked at them with terrifying scarlet eyes.

Sui Xiong said nothing, but his attitude was clear.
