Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

In the temporary command post, a daily morning meeting is being held.

"Sir Hank, based on the enemy's marching path and speed in the past few days, we estimate that they should have almost gone south to cross the Orin River this morning."

"Sir Hank, Lord Swain has sent people to block the openings to the south, southeast, and southwest of the Orin River Ferry. As long as you can pursue them in time, this enemy will be unable to fly."

"Lord Commander, our First Battalion is expected to arrive at the north bank of the Orin River this afternoon, and is expected to complete the crossing before three in the afternoon!"

"Legion Commander, our second battalion is accelerating towards this direction and is expected to reach the north bank of the Orin River before tomorrow night."

"Is there any news about the three brigades of the cavalry battalion?"

"Lord Commander, in order to prevent the enemy from suddenly changing their marching direction, the three cavalry battalion groups are closely stationed on the left, right and right rear of the enemy. They are only about three hours away from the enemy."

"Tell the three brigades of the cavalry battalion not to take action rashly, just keep following and monitoring closely. The general attack will have to wait until the infantry battalion comes together!"

"As ordered!"

"In addition, the second battalion must speed up its march. It must rush to the north bank of the Orin River before noon tomorrow and cross the river immediately after arriving!"

"Yes!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

------------

"Lord Baron, are we just hiding here? Although it is very hidden here, we have so many people after all, and the orcs' search intensity has been much greater than before. The Orin River is so big, they will find us sooner or later of."

"Don't worry, we are just waiting here for Archis and Siegfried. We will not sit here and wait for death."

Levi said it was easy, but in fact his palms were already sweating.

During these days of pursuit and escape, Li Wei collided with the enemy no less than ten times in a row, and roughly figured out the enemy's composition.

The main force chasing Levi is a fully-staffed main army of ten thousand people from the Orc Empire. There should be three battalions of three thousand people.

Among them, the one Li Wei had the most contact with was the cavalry battalion, which was fully staffed with the main army of ten thousand people in the Orc Empire. This cavalry battalion was divided into three brigades to search and entangle Li Wei.

Although Li Wei killed hundreds of cavalry with a very high battle loss ratio, these three cavalry brigades still maintained their intact structure.

In addition, there was an infantry camp among the pursuers that Li Wei had contacted before. This infantry camp was the target that Li Wei was least willing to face. In a head-on battle, Li Wei could not defeat this infantry camp.

Fortunately, this infantry camp did not cause serious damage to Li Wei's cavalry, except that it happened to be on Li Wei's southward route yesterday, and Li Wei made a large circle to force his way around it.

Finally, there are some miscellaneous soldiers of varying quality. These miscellaneous soldiers should be the second-line troops who originally guarded the grain roads. It is okay for them to stay in one place, but it is average to go out to the city to fight in the field.

Although they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs to Li Wei, the biggest threat to Li Wei from this group of miscellaneous soldiers is that they will expose Li Wei's whereabouts and slow down Li Wei's marching speed.

[Based on the organization, there should be one battalion of the 10,000-strong main force of the Orc Empire that is chasing me. Maybe it is blocking my front, maybe it is following behind me and not catching up.

It would be bad if this infantry camp blocked in front of me. The infantry camp that was chasing me might not be able to cross the river.

This time my target is still the three brigades of the orc cavalry battalion. As long as two brigades are destroyed, I can easily get rid of the orcs. 】

While Li Wei was constantly improving his plan, news came from hunters lurking near the ferry that the orc cavalry had arrived on the north bank of the Orin River one after another, and they were preparing to cross the river.

"Lord Baron, what should we do? How about we take advantage of the enemy to cross the river and give these cavalry a hard blow! As long as we kill the large group of orc cavalry, we can get rid of the pursuit."

"The cavalry must be killed, but not now!" Levi decisively rejected Villefort's proposal.

"But sir, why?"

"The trajectory of our actions is clearly visible to the orcs, and I'm worried that there is still an orc infantry camp blocked on the south bank of the Olin River.

If we take action rashly now, we will not only have to fight with cavalry several times our size, but also face the risk of being completely surrounded. You know, there are not only three enemy cavalry brigades on the north bank, but also a full infantry battalion!

When the north and south attack each other, it will be enough for us to drink a pot! "

--------------

"Captain, look over there!"

On the warg, a burly werewolf followed the sound, and saw an excellent lookout point on the hill. A reconnaissance stronghold set up by the orcs had been completely breached.

The main door of the stronghold has disappeared. Several corpses fell on the door frame. The blood on the corpses has dried, but there is a pool of dark red animal blood on the ground.

"It seems correct. The enemy has indeed crossed the Onlin River. Originally, there were traces of large-scale crossings on the banks of the Onlin River. Horse hoof prints and mud marks are very obvious. Now even the reconnaissance strongholds in the south have been uprooted by the enemy. See The enemy is indeed still following the previous trajectory all the way south."

"Captain, then we"

"Continue to chase. Send a few more people to report the situation here to the First Battalion and the Legion Commander."

"Yes!"

------------

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, several hunters who stayed on the north shore sent the latest information to Li Wei through the peregrine falcons they raised.

Levi couldn't wait to unfold the note, and he was relieved by the content on it.

"What's wrong, Lord Baron?"

“First of all, all the cavalry had crossed the river before eleven o’clock at noon and were pursuing their pursuit in three directions: due south, southeast, and southwest.

Mainly the second point is that the orc infantry camp we left behind arrived at the north bank of the Orin River at 12 noon, and were having a meal and rest, preparing to cross the Orin River south.

It seems that another infantry camp of the orcs is not blocking our front. If another infantry camp is blocking our front, the orc infantry camp on the north bank of the Orin River will not be in a hurry to cross south. "

"Lord Baron, what about us now?"

"Wait, wait until Yaqis and Sieg fly back, and we will quietly cross north at night."

"But will it be too late? If the orc cavalry finds out that we are not continuing south, they might turn back."

"The orcs are not that stupid. They will definitely turn back, but they won't turn back so early. After all, they need to ask their superiors for some major directions of action.

And what I'm waiting for is the cavalry that hastily turned back. If we don't kill these orc cavalry, it will be useless for us to return to Xiaoyunshan Village! "
