Durin's Diary

Chapter 644: Move
Lord Dalin is in a state of panic.

She had a lot of reserve troops, but she didn't know where to send them - this was the consequence of poor intelligence on the battlefield situation.

But fortunately, everyone’s favorite Du Lin is here.

He brought a lot of good news.

First of all, the Orekhov Fortress is still there, and without siege equipment, the greenskins have no way to deal with the ten-meter-high city walls, and the cannons also help the defenders block the greenskin spellcasters' fantasies.

Secondly, Zaporizhia is being fortified, and Durin's southern troops have retreated to the Zaporizhia-Vasilivka-Melitopol line and are organizing defense on the spot - there are almost no losses in the retreat, and all regiments are close to full strength. Now Durin has counted the troops, and at least twenty regiments armed to the teeth will arrive within a week.

"I will defend this line. Lord Dalin, please mobilize the troops to defend the area north of Zaporizhia. My suggestion is to organize defense along the river and let all civilians on the east side of the river evacuate." Having said that, Dulin looked at the entire hall - many war generals and nobles did not understand why Dulin wanted to retreat. How could so much land be lost just like that?

"Among the people of Chang Tang, there is a sage who said, 'If we survive but lose the land, both the people and the land will survive; but if we survive but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost.' This means that as long as we survive, we can take back the lost land! But for this small piece of land, we will have to shed blood, and the land without its owner is destined to be ravaged by others!"

Titus was the first to react, and he immediately agreed with Durin's point of view.

Soon, more and more warmasters and nobles agreed with Durin's point of view - when facing monsters like the greenskins, the rules of warfare in the civilized world of human beings do not exist. They will devour all life, including with knives and mouths.

"We will deploy defenses along the rivers. North of Kiev, we can even have the Eastern Elf Territory send troops to help defend it. We need to make the Greenskins bleed on every front, destroy their manpower, and consume their war potential until we find an opportunity to wipe out all the Greenskins who enter this land. This day may take a long time to arrive, but I believe victory will eventually belong to us, because we have greater war potential than the Greenskins, and our industry is much stronger than theirs. We can manufacture guns, cannons, and even the bullets and shells they use."

Du Lin said this and stood in front of the map: "What we have to do is fight for our descendants. This is a sacred war to protect human civilization!"

………………

Du Lin had no idea how powerful his words would be once they reached the west - from Nieuwsberg to Vienna, people were coming from everywhere. Every day, hundreds or even thousands of young people and veterans came to Budapest by various means of transportation, and then all took ox carts or simply walked east.

Their idea is simple - it is better to die in the sacred war to protect human civilization than to die in their own hometown for a bullshit thing.

Du Lin had to hire a large group of Toby Rabbitmen to set up supply points along the way. The rest areas would provide a variety of free meals to these young people and veterans.

After arriving in Chisinau, the young men will be assigned to the recruit camp, where they will receive the most brutal training. Dulin said he does not need cowards and wimps to come to the front line to disrupt the morale of the army.

Young people who have the courage to come here are not cowards. Although the training is hard, Durin provides enough meat - Durin himself did not pay for the boot camp. His instructor's salary is covered by Dalindi, and the food is contracted by Durin's Nicolax kitten group. Dalindi pays, and Farol, Sydney and the Northern Kingdom will subsidize part of it - when it comes to major issues, the Clegane family is still okay, and Durin has to recognize this good family.

The veterans will be tested - they will be asked to practice target shooting and running. Those who can hit 80 rings with 10 bullets and run 100 meters in less than 12 seconds will be immediately incorporated into the army and sent to the front line.

The veterans still have their marksmanship skills, but they are so fat that those who can run the 100 meters in less than 12 seconds are rare, and they are only one in a hundred.

But it doesn’t matter if the test fails. Du Lin also introduced a large number of training programs including hanging iron blocks on the muzzle of the gun in a timely manner - as a soldier, how can you do it without sufficient physical fitness.

The veterans did not want to lose face, so they trained very hard. Du Lin even deliberately crossed the training programs of the boot camp and the veteran rehabilitation camp so that the two sides could compete from time to time.

The effect is very good.

The only ones who are unhappy are probably those extraordinary people and knights who are too arrogant.

However, they couldn't do anything to Du Lin, because they were individually good at fighting and had explosive physical fitness, but when they faced Du Lin, their fighting became a joke.

And once they picked up their guns, they poured bullets onto the ground, hitting targets randomly like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Du Lin could hit a target 200 meters away with a pistol.

Then he patiently showed these people a new rifle that combined firepower, rate of fire and accuracy.

Guns are truly a speed bump for men.

These guys quickly lost their pride in front of guns - yes, swinging a sword for ten years is not as good as practicing with a gun for a month, because a sword really can't kill the ugly green-skinned monster from three to five hundred meters away.

With a gun, you just need to aim and pull the trigger.

As for the Great Woodland - after completing Durin's plan, the greenskins will face the empty eastern part of the Great Woodland - in order not to leave them with anything usable, Durin ordered the well water to be poisoned, and the winter wheat that can be harvested should be harvested, and the one that cannot be harvested should be burned directly.

All the metal that could be removed from the town was removed, and what remained was burned.

A very determined campaign to clear the countryside.

Because of the good propaganda and the understanding of the civilians (mainly because they really knew that the greenskins would eat people when they came), Durin's plan progressed very quickly, so that in the south, the greenskin orcs arrived late and ran into the defense line of Zaporizhia-Vasilivka-Melitopol.

In a week, Durin had had the mages use mud to turn into stone and stone to turn into mud to build a solid defense system in this area, including machine gun bunkers, fixed artillery positions, crisscrossing trenches, and continuous barbed wire.

Durin's observers observed that some greenskin troops did not join the attack, and it was certain that these troops had suffered heavy losses in front of Durin's defense line.

As for others, they have definitely never suffered any loss. I don’t know whether they refuse to listen to advice or just ignore the words of their predecessors.

In short, they rushed up howling, then got hung on the barbed wire howling, and were then used as targets by the soldiers.

The dead will not cry out.

The average green-skinned warrior jumped over the barbed wire and then jumped into the minefield, with broken pieces all over the ground.

The real green-skinned warriors jumped over the barbed wire and crossed the minefield.

Then they encountered strong men from the human side, who were holding various large-caliber firearms and precision weapons made by Durin.

Soon, the heads of the green-skinned warriors became high-end hard currency on the battlefield.

"You said that the greenskins will charge every three to five days. When will they understand that charging this line of defense will do nothing but increase casualties. We can't even waste bullets, because our soldiers are now even using spears to stab the greenskins hanging on the barbed wire to death." Lan En asked with some doubts.

"Let the greenskins grow their brains..." Du Lin thought for a moment: "Are we being too hard on the greenskins by thinking this way?"

Lan En was silent for a moment: "That's right."
