Chapter 1105, Doubt
Chaos, killing, and intermittently lasted for one night.
In the dark night, the orcs with night vision ability firmly control the wilderness outside the camp.
The Northern Expedition Alliance and the Orc Scouts of the Dashi Kingdom staged one assassination and counter-assassination in the dark, constantly competing for control of the intelligence at night.
Originally, the scout systems of both the enemy and us were equal, but after Lang Xiaotian spread a large number of wolf cavalry into the wilderness outside, the scout system of the Northern Expedition Alliance was immediately devastating.
Under the outstanding sense of smell of the wolf, all the orc scouts of the Northern Expedition Alliance located on the ground had nowhere to hide, and only some flying owl scouts escaped by chance.
After the large number of orc scouts sent by the Northern Expedition Alliance disappeared, the legions of the Northern Expedition Alliance were even more afraid to act rashly. In the end, they all chose to hide in the camp and let the wolf cavalry of the Dashi Kingdom rage in the wilderness.
The military strategy is full of things. Only by knowing yourself and the other can you be defeated in a hundred battles.
Although the officers of the Northern Expedition Alliance learned through the reconnaissance of the owl scouts that the orc troops stationed in various places in the Dashi Kingdom had left the camp one after another, and seemed to be moving northwest.
But in the uncertainty of the enemy situation, they still dared not go out to take risks in the night.
So that night, except for several consecutive battles in Zhangzhuang Village, other places were small-scale small fights. In the end, the 200,000 orc army led by Lang Xiaotian all retreated safely to the surrounding area of Zhangzhuang Village.
With the loud crow of roosters, the sun shines on the earth again.
After feeling the warmth of the sun again, the troops stationed in various places of the Northern Expedition Alliance finally regained their vitality.
When a large number of light cavalry were sent out to investigate the enemy situation, the officers of the Northern Expedition Alliance soon learned about something that was a bit unexpected to them.
Taking advantage of the night, Lang Xiaotian ordered people to build a new defensive position with Zhangzhuang Village as an arrow.
Looking down from a high altitude, the defense line of the entire orc army is composed of a semicircle and a triangle with the diameter of the semicircle as the base.
Zhangzhuang Village is located at the apex of the triangle. With the help of the fortifications built by the Northern Expedition Alliance and the food and supplies stored there, the main force of the orc army was stationed directly there.
On the other two sides of the triangle are two large gathering sites, Wang Chaji and Yangzhuang Village. The orc troops retreated from other places are stationed near Wang Chaji and Yangzhuang Village.
In addition, the orc army also dug out two wide and deep trenches in the dark. The starting points of the trenches are located on the north and south sides of Zhangzhuang Village, and the end points are on the bank of the Yellow River.
Through these two trenches, Lang Xiaotian successfully sealed the 200,000 orc army he led on the bank of the Yellow River, leaving only an entrance and exit of Zhangzhuang Village.
Now if Lang Xiaotian and the others want to attack, they can only pass through the exit southeast of Zhangzhuang Village. If the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to attack, they must also launch an attack from that exit.
Of course, if the Northern Expedition Alliance did not want to attack forcibly, they just had to send an army to station on the opposite side of Zhangzhuang Village, block the exit, and then send some light cavalry to patrol along the trench.
The main reason why the officers of the Northern Expedition Alliance were surprised was that the defense line built by the orc army was the main reason.
Although the defense line built by the Orcs is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to break into the Northern Expedition Alliance, as long as the Northern Expedition Alliance is blocked, it is difficult to attack the Orcs. Therefore, the Orcs Army is equivalent to building a prison cell for itself.
Although the cavalry regiment of the Northern Expedition Alliance caught the Dashi Kingdom off guard and put their logistics supply line under a huge threat, the harassment tactics were not immediately effective.
As long as the Dashi Kingdom can send troops to expel the cavalry regiments that invaded the past in a timely manner, the situation will return to a even situation.
If they think from the perspective of others, they are now on the side of the Dashi Kingdom, then the first thing they have to do now is to stabilize the defense and wait for the rear to send reinforcements to expel the invading cavalry regiments. After the logistics supply line is restored and unblocked, they will turn to defense to offense.
As for the damage caused by the cavalry regiment before being expelled, those things cannot work very quickly. As long as the army on the front line can advance rapidly, many bad things will be covered by victory.
So if they were the Dashi Kingdom, then the most important thing they should do now is to defend Hongmiao Town and block the enemy's main army.
However, the orcs' actions last night directly gave up Hongmiao Town and some other strongholds and retreated all their troops to the west of Zhangzhuang Village.
When the orc army retreated overnight, they only took away a small amount of food and supplies, leaving most of the food and supplies to them.
If it weren't for the Zhangzhuang Village guarding by Jiang Youwei, they wouldn't have to take the initiative to attack. In a few days, the orc army would have lost food.
After the orc army retreated to the west of Zhangzhuang Village, although they were leaning against the Yellow River, they could better take the defensive position while shifting their positions and opening their hinterland to the Northern Expedition Alliance.
Now the Northern Expedition Alliance only needs to send an army to monitor the orc army retreating to Zhangzhuang Village and prevent the other party from coming out again. Then they can attack Dongming County and Heze City without any obstacles.
This kind of good thing was something that many generals of the Northern Expedition Alliance dared not imagine in their dreams, but it was truly presented to them after just one night, which immediately made many people feel a little unbelievable.
I heard that the Dashi Kingdom sent out the second-in-command in their country this time, a werewolf marshal who was experienced and experienced many battles - Lang Xiaotian.
Lang Xiaotian has fought for the Dashi Kingdom for so many years, but he has almost never suffered any major defeat.
However, at this moment, he made such a stupid move. Could there be any conspiracy here?
If there is no conspiracy here, it is that Lang Xiaotian suddenly became Alzheimer's disease, otherwise such an outstanding military commander would never make such a serious mistake.
Players are suspicious by nature. They do not believe that the battle-hardened Lang Xiaotian would make such a huge mistake in front of them, so after Lang Xiaotian paved the way for them, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Order the troops in the east of Lankao County to assemble in Yanghuai Village immediately, and the other troops are temporarily on standby.
Notify all senior officers of the army to rush to Yanghuai Village for a meeting immediately, except for the Cavalry Regiment.”
As soon as Lu Chenguang arrived in Lankao County, he learned about the orc army's abnormal movement last night, so he had to set off again to Yanghuai Village.
After learning that the Dashi Kingdom had launched a massive invasion of the Eastern Henan Plain, the Northern Expedition Alliance decided to send a person with rich combat experience to Henan to preside over the overall situation.
Originally, Dongfang Ming was the only choice, but Hekou County still needed Dongfang Ming to take charge, so everyone recommended Lu Chenguang, the president of the Demon Guild, to return to Henan to take charge.
After the game started again, Lu Chenguang immediately chose to commit suicide and then resurrected in the mansion of Luoyang City through the gold medal of exempting death.
After resurrection, he rushed to Zhengzhou with quick horses and rushed. After having a simple exchange with Shui Ruyan, who was in charge of Zhengzhou, he immediately headed towards Kaifeng.
After staying in Kaifeng City for one night, he got up and rushed to Lankao County just at dawn. As soon as he entered Lankao City, his butt was still hot, and all kinds of information about last night floated in front of him like snowflakes.
Although in reality, Lu Chenguang had learned about the situation in Lankao County in detail, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and new situations might occur every day. So Lu Chenguang couldn't wait for a break and immediately decided to go to Yanghuai Village, five kilometers away from Zhangzhuang Village in person.
Yanghuai Village, Nanbeizhuang Village and Guying Town surrounded Zhangzhuang Village in a triangular manner.
As long as they use these three strongholds as straight lines to dig two trenches that lead to the Yellow River, the orc army that actively retreats to the west of Zhangzhuang Village will be locked inside.
Unless the enemy can find enough ships to cross the river directly to the north bank of the Yellow River, they can only stay in the cage they have chosen for themselves.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Chenguang let the main force of the Northern Expedition Alliance stationed in the east of Lankao County head towards Yanghuai Village. He was preparing to rely on Yanghuai Village, Nanbeizhuang Village and Guying Town, the iron triangle that completely blocked the enemy troops who dug their own graves.
After receiving Lu Chenguang's order, all senior players and officers of the Northern Expedition Alliance located in the front line immediately set off for Yanghuai Village.
Under an old locust tree in Yanghuai Village Square, a group of players sat around the bench, and Lu Chenguang, the highest commander here, sat in the middle.
After everyone arrived, Lu Chenguang stood up from the bench. After looking around at the familiar faces around, Lu Chenguang said solemnly:
"Everyone, President Dongfang and President Ye are unable to escape from the Yunnan-Guizhou battlefield for the time being, so they appointed me to Henan to preside over the overall situation.
Before I left, President Dongfang and others had instructed me to tell me that our big goal this time was the entire Shandong area south of the Yellow River, the middle goal was to take over the inner ring area of Heze, Jining and Chu Batian, and the small goal was to take over the Heze area west of the Grand Canal.
Although I understand marching and fighting, I am far inferior to President Dongfang in terms of strategy and tactics, so what I set for myself is to achieve the goal as much as possible, to take down Heze and Jining, and to kill Chu Batian's ignorant bald donkey.
To achieve this goal, I must be inseparable from the strong help of everyone here, so I will first make a military order for you.
You all can do your best this time, and I will not take any credit from you.
If you can help Lu achieve this goal, in addition to the rewards given to you by the alliance, I, Lu Chenguang, will also give out an additional 50 million earth coins to the meritorious ministers here.
If everyone can perform well and directly win the entire Shandong region, then I, Lu Chenguang, will give out an additional 100 million earth coins to reward those meritorious ministers.”
In order to boost morale and win over people's hearts, Lu Chenguang directly offered a huge reward as soon as he came up.
After hearing the extra rewards from Lu Chenguang, the players and officers present were immediately energetic and their eyes shone.
After seeing the expressions of everyone, Lu Chenguang smiled with satisfaction, then changed his mind and continued: "Okay, my military order has been issued, and the following should be three rules.
Under my hands, I hope that everyone here can unconditionally execute every command of my order and obey the order.
Even if I suddenly ordered an army to perform a mission that looked like a death sentence, you should not hesitate at all and must obey the orders.
Because every order I give is based on the interests of the entire alliance, even those sacrificed troops are sacrificed for the interests of the entire alliance, so you must not act to disobey the military orders because of your own interests.
As long as everyone is dedicated to the alliance, the alliance will never treat you unfairly. At that time, the alliance will definitely provide corresponding compensation based on your losses.
I will first talk about the ugly things. In this battle, if someone really harms the interests of the entire alliance because of his own interests, then I will never let him go.
We will not only impose permanent bans on them in the game, but will also implement a joint position system for players who collude with them. Any organization established by our members of the Northern Expedition Alliance will never be hired.
Therefore, everyone must think twice before acting, and never do things that make you regret because of temporary greed."
"Okay, this is the reward and punishment measures. Next, let's discuss the current situation on the battlefield.
Zhang Wu, the Guying Town where you are located is closest to Zhangzhuang Village. Jiang Youwei and Zhang Xiaofeng have died in battle. Let me introduce you in detail what happened here last night!”
After saying that, Lu Chenguang directly signaled to Zhang Wu, the lucky one last night, to start speaking.
After hearing Lu Chenguang click his name, Zhang Wu immediately stood up and introduced: "Everyone, the situation last night was quite chaotic, everything was an emergency. I will tell you some of the situations I learned about, hoping that it will be helpful to everyone.
.....”
Zhang Wu directly told Jiang Youwei's arrangement and various accidental experiences. After listening to Zhang Wu's explanation, everyone present frowned.
They originally suspected that Lang Xiaotian could not make such a low-level mistake. After Zhang Wu explained this, they felt that there was a big problem here.
"Everyone, if you want to know if there is any conspiracy here, we must first figure out whether the enemy's attack on Zhangzhuang Village was planned or temporary.
If the enemy plans to attack Zhangzhuang Village, then we must understand why the enemy gave up Hongmiao Town and chose Zhangzhuang Village, otherwise we may be led by the enemy in the next battle.
If the enemy intends to attack Zhangzhuang Village temporarily, then we must figure out where the enemy's real destination was last night, and then we can follow the clues to figure out the reasons for their collective retreat westward.
In short, with my understanding of Lang Xiaotian, he would never make such a serious mistake at such a critical moment in the battle situation.
So if we don’t understand the specific reason, it’s easy to fall into the trap set by the enemy.”
