Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

In the past week, the Kingdom of Fontaine has repeatedly dispatched highly mobile elite troops to attack the two food roads on the periphery of the Orcs.

These cavalrymen, who gave the orcs a headache, always left as soon as they touched the ground and never hesitated to fight. A single attack did not cause much damage to the orcs, but it seriously interfered with the orcs' transportation efficiency.

What makes the orcs collapse even more is that the frequency of the Fontaine Kingdom's military operations is too high, and the orcs are attacked every day. In the most exaggerated case, an orc food transport team was attacked by three different troops in one day.

Snow Dragon Fortress, military command hall.

"let's start."

As Marquis Ashan spoke, the daily morning meeting and work summary began.

"My lords, yesterday the orcs mobilized nine main legions at once to launch a fierce attack on the front of our fortress. All our troops fought bravely for four hours and successfully repelled the enemy's attack.

According to post-war statistics, a total of 2,400 soldiers of our army died gloriously for their country, including 357 third-level soldiers, 37 fourth-level soldiers, and four fifth-level soldiers.

Another 3,900 people were seriously injured, 8,400 were slightly injured, and 420 of the seriously injured were disabled for life. In addition, the commander of the Renxith Army was seriously injured. Fortunately, Archbishop Poker took action to stabilize the injury.

Since the orcs took away the corpses of their companions when they retreated, we are unable to accurately calculate the number of casualties on the orc side, but after calculations, we initially estimated that the orc casualties were two to three times as high as ours. "

"My lords, last week, we dispatched a total of twenty-five batches of elite cavalry to attack the orcs' food roads. We successfully attacked the orcs' food transport teams twenty-two times, killing 2,700 food team guards and civilians, and burned them to the ground. There are about 350 tons of grain.

At the same time, a total of 370 people on our side were killed and 740 were injured. Among the dead, 92 were from the third level, 11 were from the fourth level, and one was from the fifth level. "

"Everyone, I have another piece of good news to tell you. Baron Monterey, who we had lurked in the Evernight Forest in advance, brought another big surprise to the orcs after resting.

Lord Garrieux, you are responsible for liaising with Baron Monterey. Please tell me in detail. "

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

"My lords, at the end of last month, Baron Monterey led the tide of Warcraft and attacked two core strongholds of the orcs in the Evernight Forest. Each of these two core strongholds was stationed with 5,000 orc garrison troops.

After leading the beast tide to attack the stronghold, Baron Monterey took advantage of the orcs' exhaustion and lack of defense to break through the two core strongholds. The orcs lost about 7,000 troops at these two strongholds. "

Gallieu's two short sentences immediately caused a commotion in the command hall. You must know that it takes many days for the flesh-and-blood millstone of Snow Dragon Fortress to produce such casualty figures.

Although Li Wei only eliminated the second-line garrison of the orcs, his capital was only a few hundred people, and he was the one who took the initiative to attack. Such a result cannot be called a miracle.

"After capturing the enemy's two core strongholds, Baron Monterey took advantage of the orcs to move the defense center to the last core stronghold and went straight to Moki Port, the orcs' water and land transportation hub in the Evernight Forest-Kanse River line.

First, the defeated orcs who surrendered were sent to drive small wooden boats filled with incendiary materials to set fire to the entire Moki Port. Then they took advantage of the chaos to attack the Moki Port warehouse and successfully burned tens of thousands of tons of materials in the warehouse. "

For a moment, the entire command hall was silent.

At this time, Marquis Ashan said with a smile: "Last week, I ordered to increase the frequency of raids on the other two food routes of the orcs, in order to make the orcs' logistics system, which was already on the verge of reaching its limit, even worse.

Now the logistics system of the Orcs has been greatly affected. Not only the ordinary Orc people's coolies have had their food supplies cut off, but according to the intelligence provided by our agents inside the Orc Empire, the Orcs' second-line troops have also had some supplies reduced, and only the main army has been cut off. The previous logistics supply level is still maintained.

So the old Beast King was obviously in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have attacked my Snow Dragon Fortress with heavy troops for three days in a row. The orcs have a big logistics problem, and they can no longer compete with us.

Now the old Beast King wants to fight quickly. If the orcs cannot take the Snow Dragon Fortress in a short time, then the orc army will have no choice but to retreat. "

"Does this mean that the initiative in the war is now in our hands?"

“It cannot be said that the current disadvantage of the orcs is due to logistical supply problems.

Although the food crops in the enemy-occupied areas will mature three months later due to the black rose agent we sprayed, the enemy is currently unable to obtain food supplies on the spot and can only rely entirely on three supply lines.

But conversely, our control over the Orcs' logistics line is also very limited.

Once Baron Monterey cannot continue to cause damage and pressure to the orcs' logistics supply lines in the Evernight Forest or the elite cavalry we dispatch fails to have the expected harassment effect on the other two orcs' supply lines, then the old beast king will not be so anxious and We had a decisive battle. "

"So we need to continue to maintain pressure on the orcs' logistics, and at the same time hold on to the Snow Dragon Fortress. When the orcs can no longer hold on, victory will naturally be ours? But Lord Marquis, how long do we need to persist?"

"The most optimistic estimate is two weeks, but I estimate that we will need to continue this war for another one to two months."

Outside the Snow Dragon Fortress, in the orcs' wounded barracks.

The warm sunshine in late spring and early summer cannot warm this camp area full of coldness and death.

The air was filled with a suffocating and suffocating smell of blood and rot. Some bloody bandages and dirty herbs were scattered on the ground. These were the only treatment tools for the orcs.

Some of the wounded and wounded had wounds deep enough to the bone and bleeding, and some were lying in the corner dying. They could only watch in despair as they were cleared out of the wounded barracks by the auxiliary soldiers, and then died in the corpse pit.

In the past week, the orc army stormed the Snow Dragon Fortress three times with heavy troops. However, due to the dangerous terrain and solid city defenses of Snow Dragon Fortress, every attack had no phased results other than causing a large number of casualties to one's own side.

And due to the special terrain of the Snow Dragon Fortress, the orc army was unable to fully exert its numerical advantage. It seemed that an army of more than 200,000 people faced off against less than 100,000 defenders of the Snow Dragon Fortress. In fact, the orcs were unable to fully deploy their formation.

These attacks had been thwarted, and the orc wounded barracks were already overcrowded, and many lightly wounded soldiers had even been kicked out of the wounded barracks in advance.

It is not that there is no boundary to expand the wounded barracks. The main reason is that the number of military doctors and medical supplies in the orc army is limited, and the lightly wounded and particularly seriously injured low-level seriously wounded cannot be treated.
