Chapter 141 Blood-stained City and Ground

19days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
The Dragoon Plan is considered a gamble for the century, not only because of its huge investment, but also strategically taking a risky path.

In order to completely defeat the orcs on the Eastern Front, the Empire concentrated almost 90% of the country's troops on the Eastern Front.

A total of twelve legions were prepared against the battle empire on the Eastern Front, and ten legions directly entered the front line. The eighteenth and nineteenth legions were still stranded behind Solomon Fortress without sending troops.

But in fact, the so-called Eighteenth and Nineteenth Legion are completely a big scam

The empire did spend a lot of effort to form two eighteenth and nineteenth legions, which were composed of new recruits, but these two legions were fighting the flame dragon and the steel dragon's number was guarding the western front.

The two legions stationed fifty kilometers northwest of the Empire on the Eastern Front, with the numbers 18 and 19, are indeed the two main legions of the Flame Dragon and Steel Dragon.

In order to concentrate all your strength to defeat the orcs in one battle, Emperor Ola used my strategy to ignore the comfort of the Western Front and concentrate almost all of his troops on the Eastern Front.

In the Dragoon plan, I proposed the reason why there is no main defense on the Western Front:

The Western Front is different from the Eastern Front. The Empire has been operating there for many years, with a very long strategic depth, and both sides have large areas of isolation. If the demons launch an attack, although the territory will be lost, the excessively long supply line is the most annoying obstacle for the attacking side. It is difficult for the demons to make greater progress in a short period of time.

We just need to strengthen our walls and clear the fields, resist step by step, and defend strictly. It is not a problem to resist for half a year. At that time, the battle of the Dragoon had already ended.

The entire combat cycle of the Dragoon Program is only four months

In the western front, even if only old and weak new recruits resist, unless the demons carry out all the troops from all over the country.

Otherwise, defense will not be a problem for four or five months

What's more, when the empire's nearly one million troops gathered in the eastern front, no matter how brave the demons were, they would not dare to put all their troops on the western front and did not care about the eastern front. They must have gathered heavily on the eastern front, and the corresponding pressure on the western front was reduced.

Before the war, in order to cover up the people's eyes, during the process of the adjustment of soldiers among the legions, the veterans with rich combat experience in the Yanlong and the Steel Dragon Knights were dismantled and transferred to the newly formed 18th and 19th Legions. On the contrary, the Yanlong and Steel Dragon Legions added more than 90% of the new soldiers.

The so-called Eighteenth and Nineteenth New Legion are just wearing the skin of Zhang Xin Legion, and they are all full of the Flame Dragon and the backbone of the Steel Dragon Knights.

And in the first few days of the war

Muse and Dicanio went out in person many times, and took a small number of elite soldiers to actively attack on the Western Front to harass the demons' defense line. Their frequent appearances were made.

Once again, the main force of these two legions was on the Western Front.

This combat plan, which is like half an empty city plan, deceived the demons, and even during the entire war, the demons did not take major military actions on the Western Front.

When the Northern Legion and King Bemon's army launched a month-long war of attrition on a long supply, the two legions quietly entered the Cardin area under the banner of escorting military rations.

On the night when Robin slaughtered more than 10,000 orcs, women and children, hundreds of carrier pigeons were released from the camp of the Northern Legion (orcs in the Death Triangle controlled the sky, and in order to ensure the safe delivery of information, hundreds of them were released in one go) and flew towards the Cardin area. The letters on the legs of the carrier pigeon all had the same three words: Pain! Pain! Pain!

This sentence implies that the Blood-Stained Plan has been successfully implemented and the decisive battle is about to begin. The reserve troops stationed on the Pars grassland are prepared for the exhibition...

Thirteen days after the release of the carrier pigeon, the orc king Glea personally led a large army to the Fortress of Tobrook, and the golden Bemon raised his hand and flag, which symbolized the emperor's identity.

The Northern Legion suddenly understood that the angry orc king was going to lead the army in person

The orcs then mobilized the front line and could not find the black behemoth flag symbolizing King Bemon's identity in the exhibition legion. From this, I and a group of senior generals calculated that King Bemon Des had lost the power to command the battle.

On the night of the decisive battle with the Orc King, the Northern Army released all the remaining 200 pigeons. The information sent this time was also only three words: Boom! Boom! Boom!, the metaphorical war has begun. Please make sure that the plan is not correct.

When the orcs led the army out in full swing, a plan was made, and the ghost corps equipped with only a small amount of fire paint was placed at the forefront of the front line as abandoned children.

It's not that they can resist the orcs for how long, but to silence them

Before the war, the Amateurs from the Sage Academy incorporated oral agents from the Horror Angels into their food in order to stimulate their combat potential as much as possible and achieve the maximum fine waste utilization

As a result, on the morning of that day, this army that acted as cannon fodder bait was notorious for the massacre in Libys (when entering Libys, all the participating troops were under the banner of the ghost army), facing a fierce attack by hundreds of thousands of orcs, and soon drowned in the orcs' ocean.

When the orc army set out from the Tobru Fortress, the main force of the Northern Legion, hiding behind the Ghost Legion's defense line, had taken a step forward and retreated to Modanna City in a coordinated and orderly manner.

In order to pretend to be in chaos and retreat, the Northern Legion deliberately left some supplies in the barracks, discarding some scrapped fire dragon guns and several broken fire dragon cannons along the way.

In the next two days of battle, the Northern Legion retreated all the way, and the orc army was clenched in the rear and chasing them.

Since the Northern Legion retreated first, when they retreated to the first line of defense set in front of Modan's pocket formation, the orc army behind them chased after him

These orcs who had their eyes red due to hatred plunged into the trap set up by the Empire in Modanna without thinking.

There are continuous peaks on the east and west sides of Modanna City, stretching for several miles, like a giant facing the north with his arms spreading, and the peaks and the city form a natural pocket formation.

However, this pocket array is not complete. In addition to the entrance connected to the Machuan Plain and which is four kilometers wide, there are several mountain passes of different sizes on the east and west sides of it.

Before the war, the Northern Legion set up dozens of defense lines near its entrance to the Tsumachuan Plain. The Black Dragon Knights, who were responsible for the task of cutting off the rear, relied on the fortifications dug before the war, and followed the guiding idea of ​​consuming orc troops.

Use the Fire Dragon Cannon and Fire Dragon Gun to resist the orc attacks one after another

Because of intention to lure the enemy into the deep, in order to make the retreat more realistic, the Black Dragon Knights' resistance was not fierce. The number of muskets and cannons used in each battle was not large, and each line of defense was usually given up after resistance for one or two hours.

Once, even deliberately made orcs easy

The shooting position consisting of muskets and cannons was then cut off by heavy cavalry and dragon cavalry, while the retreating dragon spearmen (this time he really fled) sat on the war horse pulling the cannons.

In order to run faster and more endurance, these horses were all injected with a stimulant called Crazy Wild Beast before the war.

Wars have always been extremely bloody. This intentional defeat caused a lot of losses to the Black Dragon Knights who had broken the rear. Hu Te was deeply distressed by this.

But in order to lure the entire orc army into the trap, the bait that should be thrown must be thrown.

In order to make the orcs look down on the power of the fire dragon cannon, the empire deliberately created some explosive artillery when retreating. These artillery deliberately blocked the cannon when firing the last shell.

The purpose of this is to make the orcs feel that the fire dragon cannon will be extremely flammable if it is designed at a slightly faster speed.

After breaking through seven lines of defense in succession, eight legions led by the Orc King have attacked the city of Morela

Less than seven kilometers away from Modan, they were blocked by two trenches with a depth of five meters, a width of four meters, a distance of seven hundred meters and a length of several kilometers.

In the past, the Hailong and Bilong Knights were stationed in Modanna City, a total of 20,000 corps. Later, after the empire's supply convoy arrived, the 13th Legion who was escorted with the army was also stayed here after completing the escort mission.

When Ruyue left Modanna City, the number of defenders in the city had increased to 60,000

When the main force of the Northern Legion stayed on the Tyrmachuan Plain to bask in the sun, the garrison troops of Modanna City were busy digging dredges to fight sand and building fortifications all day long. These two trenches were their masterpieces

The first trench happens to be within the maximum firing radius of the long-range artillery

The sniper position composed of muskets and cannons is two hundred meters behind the second trench

In the battle in the first three days, outside the Ghost Legion, nearly 10,000 people died in the Empire, while the orcs lost less than 5,000 people, but nearly 100 Behemoths were lost.

The Bemon Behemoth's losses made the hot-headed Emperor Glea a little more awake. In front of the last main defense line of the northern legion in Morela City, he temporarily stopped the offensive, and hundreds of thousands of troops stopped.

In addition to trimming, it is more about waiting for opportunities

Orcs are waiting for rain and dark night

The war is almost at the end of August, with the arrival of rainy season

When the Orc King led his army to leave the Tobrook Fortress, the sky above the Machuan Plain was covered with clouds and the weather was extremely hot and sultry

The sky is like constipation, and the rain is stuck in the clouds for several days.

But when the orc army attacked the city of Morela, the clouds that had been holding on for several days finally gradually could not hold on

After nightfall on the third evening, with the thunder sounding in the sky, the heavy rain that the orc king Glea had been waiting for for several days finally poured down after a huge thunder sound.

God helps me!

If the rainstorm came, Emperor Glea had a little hesitation in his heart to retreat, but when the bean-sized water droplets hit his head, this part was gone at all.

In the battle outside the Death Triangle area, night battle is that both parties can use lighting magic to drive away darkness, but in the forbidden area, the lighting method can only be done with fire

In his opinion, in the dark night when the hand was stretching out his hand, the fire dragon gun and fire dragon cannon that had made the orcs suffer all their hardships became waste.

At almost the same time, Orvimas and I stood on the head of Modanna, looking at the lightning that broke through the sky, Orvimas and I were indeed mixed.

As for Goridel, who was standing aside to watch the weather with us, he smiled proudly:

Magic has always been able to create light, but the power of science can also create light in the darkness! The Orc King thought that the night and heavy rain would make my baby useless, and he would suffer a great loss!

Illumination flares, a small invention prepared by scientists in West Amber for night battles in the Great Triangle of Death

Before the war, my military staff and I agreed that in the final decisive battle, the orcs would definitely choose to launch an attack in the dark.

During the past two months of battle, the Northern Legion has been banning the use of this secret weapon in the field, and has suffered numerous losses in the night battle. It is to wait for this most critical moment to use this last secret weapon

Orvimas frowned and said: But the rain is too heavy, and the effect of the flares may be affected by the hands!

Another meteorological expert from Sage Academy relieves us of our troubles:

Don’t worry, the heavier the rain on the grassland, the faster it will stop! This rain can only fall for fifteen minutes at most!

He was right. Although the crackling heavy rain was coming fiercely, it only lasted for less than fifteen minutes.

Just before the sky was about to rain, the Imperial army lit hundreds of firewood piles placed on the front of the position in advance for night battle lighting. In order to wait for the rain to extinguish the firewood pile, the orcs wasted ten of their time.

Before the heavy rain was about to stop, the orc attack began. The first one to attack was the Behemoth. Compared with the Behemoth, the trench dug by the Empire soldiers was too shallow and too narrow, but it was still too wide for other orcs.

Taking advantage of the darkness and heavy rain, the Bemon beast, who was resistant to the huge sandbag, quickly leveled the first trench that blocked the road.

The imperial artillery positions can only discredit and fire randomly. The damage caused to the Beamon giant beast with no accurate heads is minimal.

When the Bemon beast filled the first trench, the heavy rain stopped. These giant beasts with sandbags continued to advance towards the second trench defense line in uneven artillery fire

In the dark night, the defenders on the defense can only judge the general location of the Beacon Behemoth by the flash of the artillery fire when the explosion occurs.

When the Beemon beast advanced three hundred meters away from the second trench, the bombardment of the artillery suddenly became low and continuous

Hundreds of flares were shot into the air, and countless small suns floating in the air shone the night like day

The sparse sound of shelling suddenly became dense, like the New Year's firecrackers were set off continuously

With the light of the flares, I saw at least hundreds of Behemoths and a large number of wolf cavalry gathered between the two trenches.

The nightmare night of orcs begins...

On the wall of Modan, Orvimas and I observed the situation on the battlefield through a telescope.

During the battle these days, we have captured a few orc prisoners. From their mouths, we officially confirmed that King Dies of Bemon has been lifted from military power by Emperor Grea. Without this great trouble, the confidence of the whole army has increased greatly.

Ovimas, the Orc King still has a chance, what do you think!

He does have a chance before dawn tomorrow!

I am really worried that after suffering the great loss of this wave of attacks, the Orc King will immediately withdraw the army! If he retreated before dawn, Robin's troops would not have time to cut off his retreat!

Because they were worried about the thunderbird's aerial observation (thunderbirds are almost blind at night and will not be moved), the young guards did not set out quietly until dark. At this moment, they were about to cut off the orc king's retreat.

Because the distance was spared, the young guards needed to completely block the four-kilometer gap until dawn.

Don't worry, although I really hit a nail, the Orc King will definitely continue to add troops and send the wrong to the death trap in front of me!

Are you so sure? Although you are not the leader of King Bemon, there should be sober people under his command, right?

Ovemas said confidently: Don't worry, the mentality of the gambler will drive the orc king to add his troops to this bottomless pit one after another.

Gambler mentality?

There is a game in the casino where one loses one buys the big one buys the small one. The gamblers bet a gold coin to buy the small one, but they were unwilling to give up. In order to make a profit, he bet two gold coins and bet again. In the end, he still lost four gold coins, eight gold coins, and sixteen gold coins... The bets kept turning up... Sometimes things in the casino are so weird. He always bets wrongly and finally lost all his belongings.

I suddenly realized: The orc king is only twenty years old, and he is very young! This time he locked up the respected veteran, King Bimon Des, so recklessly. At that time, he must have said a lot of self-righteous and self-defeating big words now that he will retreat after losing his battle. He must be psychologically unable to stand it in order to make up his fortune...

Ovemas nodded and said proudly: Yes! In order to induce him to make more bets, after giving him a little pain at the beginning, we have to give him some more sweetness! So before the war, I suggested that after repelling the first wave of attacks from the orcs, I immediately gave up the first line of defense! Let Glea have the illusion that he could quickly turn the book around!

I took the conversation and said: Then there is the second line of defense, and the third line of defense. Each line of defense is like a lee sucking blood, sucking the orc's blood dry bit by bit!

After dawn, the orc army of the six defense lines of the Northern Legion finally attacked the city of Modanna, but the price paid was indeed the reputation of the 120,000 orc warriors.

As for the elites participating in the war, the most egg-ridden Behemoth Legion of the Imperial Army, more than a thousand Behemoths fell on the seven-kilometer position of the two armies. The beast wolf cavalry also suffered heavy casualties.

The orc king who had been gambled for a night just woke up like a dream and hurriedly withdrew his troops

But at this time, the young guards led by Robin, combined with the 30,000 troops of the Sea Dragon Knights, and successfully bet on the four-kilometer gap behind the orcs all night.

They used the chariots as walls, built cannons and built a temporary defensive position, sealing the orcs' way back to retreat north

Other gaps on both sides of the east and west were blocked by other imperial troops.

So the army of more than 300,000 under the Orc King was surrounded in this pocket array that was only five kilometers wide and less than a kilometer long.

If Mo Dan had not lost all the most elite Behemoth Legion under the city, the Orc King would only need to concentrate the elite to get a little bit of his strength to break through. Because the defense line was too long, the Northern Legion did not have enough artillery divisions to maintain a considerable fire density on each front line, and it would be difficult to block the Behemoth's concentrated breakthrough. It would not be difficult for the Orcs to break through.

But now, there is no Behemoth, and the elite beast wolf cavalry have suffered heavy casualties. The orcs who have lost these two aces are like tigers without claws and sharp teeth, and they are no longer afraid of them.

The more than 300 thunderbirds whose subject was trashed in the sky, although annoying, could no longer affect the overall situation.

The orc army retreated in panic chose to launch wave after wave of desperate attacks at night at the joint positions stationed by the Youth Guards and the Sea Dragon Knights.

After paying an extremely heavy price, they have attacked the positions of the two armies countless times and started hand-to-hand combat

But in the forbidden area of ​​the Death Triangle, when the new firearm appears, hand-to-hand combat is no longer the main mode of war.

The heavy armored cavalry that protected the main position cooperated with the heavy infantry and launched a counter-charge under the cover of the dragon spearmen and the dragon cavalry, and easily drove the orcs who attacked the position back.

Five days later, from Cardan, the first reserve team formed by a total of 30,000 cavalrymen arrived at Modanna City. The 30,000 cavalrymen came from the Flame Dragon, Steel Dragon and the Royal Knights, and Dicanio and Muse also arrived.

The addition of these 30,000 new forces made the orcs breaking through even more insults

Seven days later, when the 18th and 19th Legion were under the banner of the 18th and 19th Legion, the 90,000 reinforcements from the Steel Dragon Knights joined, it was inevitable that the orc army surrounded by the Machuan Plain was destroyed.

What is beyond me is that Emperor Ola, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation at Solomon Fortress, also arrived with the army with the old Red Ankyloss.

Under the command of Emperor Aola, the orc army, who had already fallen into the water, was unable to take out the entire army and ended up being wiped out after another tenacious resistance for six days.

Forty-four thousand men left the fortress, only a few thousand people risked their lives to cross the steep mountains and fled back to Tobrook Fortress.

As for the young orc king Glea, after the war quelled, his head was held by the old red ankyloss with a gold plate as a spoil, respectfully presented to Emperor Aola in front of the soldiers of the three armies, greatly satisfying his vanity.

According to the captured orc confession, before committing suicide, the orc king Glea dug out his eyes with his fingers, claiming that he could see King Bemon without eyesight

When the orcs army was surrounded, he was released by his anxious orc compatriots, hoping that he could create a miracle to rescue the trapped army.

However, all the main elites were transferred, and no matter how powerful he was, he would be hard to cook without rice without a single soldier or general.

However, this veteran is really amazing. He concentrated on the supply line of the Imperial Army to carry out logistics tasks. The remaining more than 10,000 orcs were wrong. He attacked the supply line of the Imperial Army with all his strength, with the goal of transporting ammunition supply teams.

Due to the continuous combat ammunition consumption, if the Northern Legion can defeat the supply convoy, the muskets without ammunition will become a piece of scrap iron, and it will be much easier for the remaining orcs to break through.

Unfortunately, the empire has learned the lessons from the past, and now it is a perverted attention to the safety of the supply convoy.

Faced with Ruyue's personal escort, as many as one legion of escorts, King Bemon's tragic desperate attack failed, and the attacking troops were almost wiped out. He himself even made Ruyue's attack become slander in the battle, and he was unable to rely on his desperate cover to escape.

In Mo Dan's battle, the main orcs were completely destroyed. The orcs who were seriously injured in their vitality were the only ones that could rely on in the nine gates on Tobrook Fortress, which were called Thor's Hammer, the strongest ultimate weapon in history.
