*****************

Xiao Feng inspected the city wall and saw that there were several unfamiliar generals behind Kyle and Bloom. Several of them were promoted from their original ranks, and several others were

It was Kyle who was promoted from the defeated troops of the Toulon Empire and Catron Empire.

According to the report given to him on Friday, these people all had some ability and had led soldiers in battles before. Kyle felt that they were fairly trustworthy. In addition, there was a real lack of junior officers, so he promoted some of them.

Although Kyle was a soldier, he did not understand politics at all. Looking at Xiao Feng's expression, he could not understand what Xiao Feng was thinking, so he immediately called over the middle-level generals he had promoted and gave them to him.

Xiao Feng made introductions one by one.

Xiao Feng was not very familiar with these people, but he could feel that although their attitudes towards him were full of curiosity, they were still quite respectful, so he didn't say anything more.

"Let's go in and talk."

Xiao Feng led a group of people and entered the archery tower on the city wall.

"I have heard about the situation. Now tell me how many soldiers there are in Qukai City."

"Sir, we have trained 60,000 regular troops and 100,000 auxiliary troops."

As the chief military officer, Kyle naturally knew the situation of the army very well. Xiao Feng smiled.

"Are you recruiting all the people from Huluxiadu? Haha, forget it, I plan to strike first. What do you think?"

As soon as Xiao Feng said these words, everyone present was stunned. Kyle and Bloom were all open-mouthed, and the generals promoted by Kyle were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

Kyle and Bloom have been with Xiao Feng for the longest time, and they know that their mage is always a bold master, but this time they were shocked by Xiao Feng's proposal.

You must know that what they face this time is not 30,000 orcs, but 300,000. Moreover, the orcs they face this time are not the old, weak, sick and disabled like before, but the absolute elite main force!

Although their current total strength is 160,000, the only ones who really dare to fight are the 60,000 regular troops.

Thinking about the gap between 60,000 regular troops and 300,000 elite orcs, Xiao Feng actually wanted to take the initiative at this time. Wasn't this asking everyone to die?

When Xiao Feng made this proposal, he also paid attention to the faces of his generals. Kyle, Bloom, and the generals who had been following him before were okay. Although they were shocked at first, their faces turned pale afterward.

He calmed down and didn't raise too many questions about Xiao Feng's proposal.

This is the prestige established in the hearts of these people after he led them to fight many times and won victories, as well as the previous experience of defeating the strong with the weak and defeating the many with the few, which played a role in the hearts of these people.

On the other hand, the expressions on the faces of the officers and generals promoted by Kyle later were a little unnatural, and it was obvious that they could not trust him too much.

As expected, people who are not trained by himself are not useful. If such a person leads a small team on an expedition, it is very likely that the soldiers will escape on the battlefield. He has already made some arrangements for these people in his mind.

But since he was ready to strike first, Xiao Feng naturally had his own plan. He waved his hand and someone immediately brought a large sand table.

This sand table happens to be Qukai City, as well as the mountain route to the north of Qukai City, and finally leads to Huluzui and the Napar Prairie outside.

This is also the sand table that Bloom made after Kyle and the others captured Qukai City. After he led his people out for reconnaissance many times and came back to draw the terrain map, he found someone to make it based on the terrain map.

"Now the Orcs are approaching the Napal Grassland, and they are building a city at the mountain pass where they set out. I flew over to investigate in the afternoon. The castle has been basically completed, and a large amount of weapons and food are stored in it. It seems that the Orcs

They want to use that city as a base to move forward, and once their attack fails, they can retreat and defend. With this city, they can form a stalemate with us here, and once they recover,

They can rely on this city to launch attacks on us..."

Xiao Feng pointed to the mountain pass near the Napal Prairie on the topographic map while explaining to the generals below.

The front base built by the orcs on the mountain pass made him feel like a thorn in his back. After looking at it in the afternoon, he felt that he had to pull out this nail, otherwise the orcs would have to fight with them.

Fulcrum.

Kyle and the others are also veterans. Although their military knowledge may not be as rich as Xiao Feng's, they still have rich war experience and battlefield experience. They have also known about that city for a long time, and they all know that the city will make people happy there.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable, and they all thought about capturing the city, but when they thought of the elite orcs stationed in the city, they all became discouraged.

"Maybe it's also because when Qu Kaichen led the counterattack last year, he encountered a flash flood in the mountain stream before reaching Qukai City and suffered heavy losses. These orcs were very careful this time. Although the city has been repaired, but

They did not immediately set out to attack us. When I conducted reconnaissance from the air in the afternoon, I found that they sent many human slaves over to cut mountains and build roads in the mountain streams, and to regulate the rivers in the mountains. Apparently, they were trying to avoid unnecessary losses.

prepare for..."

Xiao Feng continued to inform these people about the situation he discovered during his investigation in the afternoon, and this time the faces of many generals present turned gloomy.

They had sent [Biquge www.biqugetv.xyz] cavalry many times before to detect the movements of the orcs, but after being ambushed several times and suffering heavy losses, they no longer sent troops.

Bloom also rode a spiritual vulture out for reconnaissance many times, but every time before he reached the orc camp, he would be attacked by multiple golden eagles, so he couldn't detect much information.

They had not known about the movements of the orcs outside for some time, and the news Xiao Feng brought back this time shocked them. The orcs were actually building roads and regulating rivers?

Originally, everyone was still taking a chance, because the road in the mountain was narrow and difficult to navigate. Even if the orcs had an army of 300,000, it would be difficult for them all to rush to Qukai City at once. But now it seems that if they wait until they repair it,

On the road, if an army of 300,000 people rushes over at once, it really won't be a problem.

"This is the main reason why I said that we must strike first. The enemy is powerful, and we cannot follow their rhythm or wait for them to come and attack us. We should take the initiative and catch them off guard first. And I think

They would never have thought that we would dare to take the initiative."

What Xiao Feng said is actually what is often emphasized in modern tactics. Soldiers moving dangerously and taking surprise are nothing new, but in this world, this method of reverse thinking is very bold and novel.

When Kyle and Bloom thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.

"And I noticed that there are a lot of human slaves sent by the orcs to build roads in the mountain streams. If we rescue them, it can greatly supplement our strength. Moreover, the supervisors sent by the orcs in the wild are not

Not much, obviously they have predicted that we will not dare to take the initiative."

When Kyle heard this, he basically agreed with Xiao Feng's idea, because now all the people in Qukai City are soldiers, and the most lacking thing is people.

"The third reason is that in the afternoon, when I flew to the castle built by the orcs at the mountain pass to investigate, I found that the orcs were constantly sending food and materials into the castle, but in fact, there were not many people stationed in the castle.

There are many people. Because this city was built in a hurry, the city is not big. It is impossible for the 300,000 orc army to live in it. Therefore, the orc army is actually stationed thirty miles away from the city wall.

It is located at a bend in the river. Moreover, the defense inside the city is also very lax. If we sneak over there, we will definitely be able to catch him by surprise. In addition, although this city is only a base, it is very conducive to our defense, and

Even if we can't defend it, we can burn the orcs' food and supplies and destroy the city."

"Yes, that's what you should do!"

Hearing what Xiao Feng said, Kyle stood up suddenly. He also figured it out. Rather than passively waiting for the orcs to attack, it was better to take the initiative. Even if he couldn't defeat the city, he might as well burn it down.

.

Without sufficient food and supplies, how long can the 300,000 orcs' army last under Qukai City?

With this thought, he suddenly felt confident about defending Qukaicheng. After hearing Xiao Feng's thoughts, there were also many officers who suddenly gained confidence.

In the humble place where morale was originally low, the momentum suddenly rose. This is the benefit of having a backbone.

Seeing that morale had been boosted, Xiao Feng said to Kyle: "Without further ado, we will set off tonight. Soldiers are expensive but not expensive. You first call out some of the mountain infantry and let them clear the way ahead.

The cavalry is holding the formation behind, don’t worry, I will raid the formation for you.”

Kyle nodded, immediately summoned several messengers, and handed over the order.

Soon the aroma of meat came from the military camp in the city. Apparently, for tonight's battle, the leading soldiers in the camp also prepared good wine and meat so that the soldiers who went into battle tonight could have a good meal.

As soon as dinner was over and the sun completely set, Xiao Feng immediately opened the city gate, led 10,000 soldiers out of the city, and rushed straight into the mountains in the distance.

Before setting off, all the soldiers rode horses, with bits in their mouths, and local hemp grass wrapped in linen cloth to minimize the sound of the horses' hooves.
