Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 130 Hasty retreat
In the orc camp.
"Lord Warren, the front army suffered a setback because the opponent's elite standing army, the Iron Wall Army, was dispatched. We were unable to penetrate the enemy's formation for a while."
"Why are there still a bunch of humans standing in the ranks of our orcs? Didn't we just say that the entire enemy team collapsed?"
Warren Isbell's adjutant was momentarily embarrassed.
"Let the people below quickly pull out the nail, and don't give the human race an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
"As ordered!"
In the cavalry formation of the Kingdom of Fontainebleau
"Lord Earl, can we really win this time?"
"Win? The best result is to temporarily repel the orcs. The strength gap is there. Even if the Marquis of Ashan comes, he dare not say that he can win!
Now we can only place our hope on the Iron Wall Legion. If the Iron Wall Legion can contain the orcs, and we continue to harass the orcs' flanks, or even find opportunities to separate and penetrate, then the orcs may temporarily withdraw their troops for the sake of stability. "
"But Lord Earl, this risk is too high, and next time our military disadvantage will be more obvious, and there will be no hope of victory in the future."
"Then what else can we do? We can only pass this level first!
Everyone, please be careful not to rush into the orc formation later. Use your cavalry bow to attack first, and then attack from the side to shake the orc formation! "
Iron Wall Legion Office.
"Legion Commander, those lions and bears are really powerful! They have only been fighting for a quarter of an hour, and many of the brothers in front have already lost their fighting ability!"
"Tell the brothers below that we have no way to retreat! On the plains, how can the infantry outrun the centaurs, werewolves, leopard men and other races of the orcs! Only by holding the line can we survive!"
As the thousands of cavalry led by Count Mensa continued to scratch the flanks of the orcs, there were also signs of instability on the orc side.
The small circular formation composed of Viscount Dohit's private army and the remaining standing backbones of the levy corps also got a moment of respite, and was still struggling in the ocean of the orc army.
The most intense battle was with the Iron Wall Legion.
As one of the ten elite standing corps of the Fontaine Kingdom, the Iron Wall Legion managed to maintain a two-hundred-meter-wide front with just over 3,000 men.
The two main orc legions composed of a large number of powerful lion men and bear men had a six-fold advantage in strength, but they were unable to break through the opponent's defense line for a while.
"Lord Warren, why don't we ignore the back and just press forward with all our strength!
Although the standing elite regiment of the Fontaine Kingdom opposite is indeed powerful, they only have more than 3,000 people. Our chances of winning are still very high! "
"Inappropriate! The battle line is only so long, and the contact surface is so small. No matter how many people are suppressed, the only people in the front row who can catch the enemy are those in the front row. On the contrary, the rear route must be guaranteed!
The cavalry on the opposite side were too cunning. They just kept harassing us and did not dare to confront us head-on. However, their constant harassment had a serious impact on the morale of our army. "
"That's true. I feel that the army ahead is showing some signs of wavering!"
Warren Isbell pondered for a moment, then made a decisive decision
"Retract the troops! We attacked here first today, and today we defeated an army of ten thousand people on the opposite side. We have made enough today, there is no need to take any more risks!"
Fontaine Kingdom Camp
At this time, the wails of wounded soldiers were everywhere, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth also looked weak. The morale of the soldiers was very low.
In the large meeting tent in the center of the camp, the atmosphere was very solemn at this time, and everyone had a grim face.
"Tell me what you think." Count Mensa, as the kingdom's deputy wartime commander and the actual commander of this army, sat in the main seat and asked expressionlessly.
"Lord Earl, let's retreat! First retreat to Luke's Fortress, continue to resist with the help of the city, and wait for the arrival of the kingdom's large forces!"
"Luke's Fortress? Can Luke's Fortress hold so many of us? And it's still a long way from here to Luke's Fortress. If the orcs chase us one after another, we might be separated halfway!" Another person He stood up and retorted.
"Then what else can we do? Should we continue to fight against the orcs here? The attack on the grain road had shocked the whole army before.
During this period, the orcs relied on their numerical advantage to press on us step by step, without giving us any chance to breathe! Everyone has seen today's battle. If the orcs weren't seeking stability, they might have won a complete victory today! "
"It's not your Fourth Recruitment Legion that caused trouble. A legion of ten thousand people will collapse at a moment's notice!"
"You're going to throw the blame directly on my head?! What I'm holding up in front of me is the main army of orcs composed of lions!"
Suddenly, the entire tent exploded, and a group of people began to accuse and curse each other.
The nobles with private armies scolded the levy corps for not working, and the levy legions scolded the nobles. The private armies only know how to preserve their strength, and will not move when friendly forces are in trouble.
The standing elite army called other armies useless.
The western nobles and the southern nobles teamed up to confront the northern nobles passionately, while the northern nobles rolled up their sleeves and prepared to take action if they disagreed.
When the war went wrong for this complex army, the contradictions were completely exposed. The whole tent was more lively than the vegetable market.
"enough!"
"I've said enough!"
Count Mensa smashed the chair under him with a slap, and the whole tent became quiet.
"I have made up my mind. The orcs will attack every four days. I will make some repairs tonight. I will send cavalry to harass the orc camp the next two nights. The main force will break camp and go south the night after tomorrow. They will cover the retreat alternately. The order of retreat will be discussed tomorrow!"
After that, Earl Mensa left the camp without caring about the other people in the tent.
----------
Late at night the next day, Marquis Yashan, who had been on duty at the military headquarters for a long time since the war, was awakened by his adjutant.
"Is Count Mensa unable to hold on now?" Marquis Ashan looked at the emergency military report sent from the front line and couldn't help but frowned. According to his plan, Count Mensa would have to hold on for at least another week. .
"My Lord Marquis, do we need to reject Count Mensa's request?"
"Rejected? If you can't beat the front line, you can't beat it. If you hold on forcibly, the entire army will be completely wiped out.
Don't worry about whether Count Mensa has ventilated Count Foster by the way. Let the Griffin Knight quickly send a message to Count Foster and let him retreat in an orderly manner. "
"As ordered!"
"In addition, the progress of the Black Rose Project must be accelerated, and the work of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness must be completed as soon as possible! This time the orcs will not march straight in like last time, and the old Beast King will definitely attack steadily this time!
The residents of the scattered villages and small towns in Edir and Palinque counties all moved to big cities or other counties. "
"Sir, are the crops in the field really not going to be burned? What if the plan fails?"
"If we don't burn it, we'll make them relax their vigilance first, and then we'll let them lose everything!"
