Chapter 162 Chapter 162

On another continent, the poplar flag of the Poplar Kingdom of the elves suddenly appeared on the border between the Kingdom of Poplar and the Kingdom of Gales the Orc at noon one day.

This area was originally a disputed area. The troops of the Poplar Kingdom fought with the troops of the Galles Kingdom here about a year ago, and lost 4000 people. The two sides faced off on both sides of a river called Segal.

The war seemed to have stopped at first, but recently the Yangmu Kingdom suddenly increased its troops to the Segal River again, and the atmosphere in the nearby theater suddenly became heavy again.

In the Kingdom of Gales, on the plain near the Segal River, the commander of the orcs is in a tent, discussing the latest military operations.

The orcs in this world are actually green-skinned humans. Their teeth are sharper, and their ears are more like elves. They are pointed, but their bodies are not much stronger than humans and elves.

The orc officer in leather armor pressed the long sword at his waist, looked down at the not-so-detailed map on the table, and said to the leading general: "The elves of the poplar kingdom across the river, recently Getting restless again!"

Another orc officer pointed on the map with his finger: "They are gathering troops, but we still have an absolute advantage in strength."

At his waist was a musket. It was Cyric's flintlock. Look at the wooden handle of the pistol. This pistol must have been used for a long time.

Compared with the more refined elves, the orcs are closer to the grassland civilization, and their lives are more rough, so the economy is obviously not as good as elves and humans.

But they are more sturdy in combat. Although their skills are not outstanding, their bravery is world-renowned.

Of course, they would be wounded at the musket, and they would fall, and they would bleed, and they would die, too.

Because there is no Cyric workshop in their territory, most of the muskets in the Kingdom of Galais are obtained by smuggling from another kingdom behind them.

They have more troops, but relatively fewer muskets.Every battle with the poplar kingdom will cause the blood of the Galais kingdom to flow into rivers.

"I really don't understand why they are always so conceited, thinking that they can use muskets to destroy the steely will of our orcs!" A burly and strong orc commander said in a naive voice.

He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to vent his anger: "If we have so many muskets, their survival will be a problem!"

The leading orc general folded his arms and looked down at the map without saying a word.He really did not expect that the other party would make a comeback so soon.

According to past experience, after a major battle, the Poplarwood Kingdom will more or less restrain itself, recuperate for a while, and then send more troops to the border.

But now, their opponents seem to be impatiently preparing to start another war, and the scale is even bigger than before.

Judging from the information feedback provided by the orc clan's reconnaissance troops, the Poplarwood Kingdom sent 3 new troops from three legions to the border this time.

If you count the 1 people who were originally stationed on the border, the elves have deployed a full 2000 legions on the border.

This scale has greatly exceeded the past, so the orcs have also begun to increase their troops to the border.

Because the number of muskets is at a disadvantage, and the artillery is not more than that of the elves, the Kingdom of Galles mobilized 17 legions to the border, with more than 2 troops.

If you count the 10 legions originally stationed on the border, the main force of the Kingdom of Galles has almost come out in full force, making up 4 troops!
This time, it was almost a battle with all the strength of the country. The Kingdom of Galles even borrowed a lot of money from another orc kingdom behind him to support such a super-large-scale national war.

Logically speaking, now there are 27 legions of the Kingdom of Galles against 11 legions of the elves, and the strength of the orcs is almost twice that of the elves.

But this time the elves did not retreat, but instead looked aggressive. The main force was getting closer and closer to the Segal River, and even yesterday their rangers had crossed the river to carry out reconnaissance.

"My lord!" Just as all the orc commanders in the tent were speculating about the real purpose of the elves, an officer hurried in.

"What's the matter?" the leading orc general took a deep breath, staring at the barging officer and asked.

The officer immediately bowed his head and replied: "The elves have crossed the border upstream! Their two legions are trying to cut our defense line!"

The orc officer was taken aback for a moment. He had placed two legion troops upstream and the big river as a barrier. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to collapse so quickly.

So he continued to ask in disbelief: "Why didn't our riverside garrison move?"

"They were defeated! The rate of fire of the muskets of the elves has suddenly increased. It should be that they have acquired Cyric's newer musket technology!" The officer reported with a gloomy face.

The defeated orc army did bring back a lot of feedback, including information about the weapon changes of the vanguard of the elves.

Because they have never seen such a weapon before, the orc tribe's troops regarded the Tang's K1 fast gun of the elf tribe as a new weapon developed by the Cyric Arms Consortium.

Beside the leading orc general, the burly orc immediately became angry and said, "Damn it! Those humans really dare to sell everything to those cunning elves!"

After thinking for a while, the orc general finally decided to deploy his troops on flat terrain: "Assemble the wolf knights! Let our musketeers march towards the plain of Seine! The elves cannot control the city of Seine, otherwise, Our harvest this year is going to be completely destroyed!"

The wolf knights of the orcs are not actually knights riding wolves. These knights are usually herdsmen of the orcs. They hunt wolves, with superb marksmanship and riding skills. They can be regarded as a main force of the orcs.

It is precisely because he has a large number of cavalry that the commander of the orc clan chose the battlefield of the decisive battle on the Senna Plain.

Here, his cavalry can charge up and penetrate the flanks that threaten the enemy, which makes it easier for him to deploy his superior forces and defeat the opponent in one go.

Moreover, although the orcs are at a disadvantage in the number of muskets, they are not far behind the elves in terms of the number of cannons.

Therefore, the orcs did not suffer very much from the artillery battle on the plain. This was another reason why the elves had not taken advantage of the fierce fighting between the two sides for decades.

"Yes! Your Excellency!" After hearing the order, the orc officer immediately turned around and rushed out of the big tent.

The orc tribe has more troops, and it takes longer to assemble. This is also a disadvantage of the large number of troops.

"Send someone to inform His Majesty the King immediately! Inform him of the situation on the battlefield." The orc general ordered again.

Another officer nodded, turned around and walked out of the big tent: "Yes! Your Excellency!"

After issuing a series of orders, the big tent once again returned to a quiet state. At this time, the burly officer standing beside the orc general couldn't help but cursed: "Now I finally understand why Ciri Ke's envoy is so easy to talk, he sold us 5000 Cyric flintlock guns in one go!"

"They're defrauding us of our money!" The other orc officers also clenched their fists with unkind faces.

The leading orc officer closed his eyes, and sighed with some reluctance: "But we still have to deal with them honestly! This is what I hate the most!"

The two legions he deployed on the upper river bank were about to collapse, which meant that the weapon advantage of the elves was absolutely obvious.

Originally, there were 27 legions against 11 elf legions, but now he only has 25 legions left to fight immediately.

This situation had never happened in previous wars, so he had to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the elf troops.

If one is not careful and wrongly estimates the actual combat power of the opponent's troops, it will make the whole battle situation irreversible.

This is a battle where the orc Kingdom of Galais is going all out. If the elves cannot be defeated, then losing the Kingdom of Galais on the Senna Plain is basically the same as destroying the country.

After thinking about it, he ordered the burly officer standing beside him: "You take the guards yourself! Let the two defeated legions find a way to withdraw from the battle! Take the remaining musketeers of the two retreated legions, Gather them all and strengthen them for the 17th Legion!"

"Yes!" The orc officer nodded naively.

The leading orc general continued to exhort: "Remember! Don't be reckless! Let the 17th Legion retreat slowly! If the other party is fooled and bites the 17th Legion into the Senna Plain, you will join the next 3 legions and stand by in place!"

"Understood!" The officer once again solemnly agreed.

"Don't take a step back!" the leading orc general emphasized at last.

"Never take a step back!" the orc officer confirmed again firmly.

"Go!" Nodding, the orc general waved his hand, indicating that his confidant and beloved general could carry out the order.

"..." The orc officer stood at attention with his chin held high, and walked out of the big tent without saying a word.

First use 3 legions to test the opponent's combat effectiveness, and at the same time dig a big hole for the opponent, test the opponent's commander, and see if the opponent will underestimate the enemy and rush forward... After setting the basic battle plan, the orcs in the lead The general ordered the remaining officers in the tent: "The remaining people, return to the legion and command the troops!"

"Yes!" The rest of the orc officers replied in haste.
