Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 25: ·Stalemate (Part 1)

The war on earth has slowly fallen into a weird state.

On the frontal battlefield, facing the Great Wall defense line built by humans for a long time, the orc army has nothing to do with the assistance of divine magic.

The walls of the Great Wall are both high and thick, and the entire body is reinforced with magic techniques. An ordinary sword cut up, leaving only an inconspicuous mark, which will disappear after a while. These walls are not simply connected into one piece, but relying on the ground veins, one by one is uneven. Many twists and turns of the Urn City structure are formed. If you want to rush into the Urn City along the road, you will fall into the Urn City, be attacked by several sides, and be easily annihilated.

So, to attack this line of defense, one must and can only rely on equipment such as ladders to climb the city wall.

However, when it comes to the level of siege equipment, the orc's technology is a bit horrible. After so many years, they have not been able to invent something that is more powerful-it is really useless, the orcs themselves do not have the habit of building tall walls, nor do they have the habit of siege. What's more, even in the face of the towering and steep walls, there are no flying beasts and mid-to-high-level powerhouses.

But for the Great Wall defense line, flying monsters are useless, and the mid-to-high-level powerhouses are equally useless.

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

In terms of the number of strong people, the human side has an absolute advantage. In the last conference battle, the battle between the legendary powerhouses of the two sides ended with the defeat of the orcs. It's a pity that the battle dragged on for a long time, and in the end it didn't have any decisive significance for the battle.

At this point, the situation is just the opposite of the flying soldiers.

But if the Great Wall line of defense is used as the battlefield, and the legendary powerhouses of both sides fight for a long time, then the disadvantage of the number of orcs on the side of the orcs will be revealed. At that time, I am afraid that the legendary powerhouses will suffer a lot of losses, and this is unacceptable to the orc emperor.

Ordinary soldiers lose some, which is not a problem for this kind of clan battle, but the number of legendary powerhouses is originally small, and if they lose some more, the situation will suffer even more.

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

Do they have enough lives?

Of course there is.

But the orc emperor did not intend to fill that terrifying line of defense with human lives.

"No need." In the evening military meeting, he said, "On the human side, there are more people than us, and food must be more stressful than us. And they lack enough spellcasters, treatment for the wounded, and cultivation of the sick. ......These are all disadvantages."

"More importantly, their logistics line is about to go wrong." The emperor's old face had a cold smile, "tens of thousands of people continue to destroy behind them, and your majesty’s envoys are attacking the temple. And the altar, they won’t last long!"

This is the result of discussions in the staff. According to their estimates, the rations on the human side will probably be supported for another month or so. After a month, millions of troops will face the dilemma of lack of food.

At that time, humans will either take the initiative to attack or retreat, and there will be no other choice.

Emperor Yiluo didn't worry about the safety of the mobile units. They were not as isolated and helpless as the mobile unit of the Southern Army of the Golden Coin Federation. Behind them are great gods and a large number of envoys.

These envoys will provide them with sufficient information and support in time, so that they can maintain a good condition, and even transport supplies for them. With the help of the envoys, they are not isolated even though they are alone. Helpless.

On the contrary, in reality, they might be more moist and more comfortable than the main force that is staring at the human army to the west of the Great Wall defense line.

After all, the enemy they have to face is not strong, just some militiamen or aristocratic private armies. The elite human forces have either assembled to the Great Wall defense line, or are guarding the various points on the supply line, and it is impossible to draw enough troops to deal with them.

As for the question of selecting a few strong people, what is the use of a small number of strong people in the face of tens of thousands of troops and the strong people who may be hidden in the army? It's nothing more than death.

In fact, humans can also mobilize several troops to encircle and suppress them. With the advantage of military strength, this is not impossible. But the orcs had envoys to help gather information. They easily avoided the two encirclement and suppression of the human army. The second time they even took the opportunity to set up a trap and fought 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 is not despair or fear, but killing intent.

Humanity has already suffered huge losses. The previous losses in the battle of positions are nothing else. During this period of time, the orc mobile forces harassed them in their own hinterland ~IndoMTL.com~. It was really heavy losses. At least hundreds of towns and villages have been turned into rubble as a result, and more than 100,000 civilians have become refugees in need of assistance-and all this is just the beginning.

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

After repeated consideration on the human side, in the end, they could only choose to migrate these 100,000 people toward the defense line of the Great Wall. Only there can they get enough food and shelter.

As for the question of danger, if the army is defeated, where is there no danger?

As for the orcs, the mobile unit has been a little tired after more than ten days of continuous combat. The most important thing is that the biggest goal of their trip has not yet been completed.

For the orc mobile forces, attacking the hinterland of mankind and creating a large number of refugees is just an incidental goal. Their main goal is to destroy human supply lines. However, of course human beings also anticipated this. Every stronghold on the entire supply line is heavily defended. Almost all of them are fortresses. They are more heavily guarded. Orcs’ mobile units are enough to attack noble castles or towns. It's not enough to attack a heavily guarded fortress.

In this case, these orcs who had gone deep behind enemy lines couldn't help but become irritable.

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

But not this time.

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

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

Sui Xiong didn't say anything, but his attitude was already very clear.
