Chapter 94 How to Cope
Do we need artillery? Zhang Quan began to seriously consider this issue. After knowing that the elves may have heavy weapon clusters such as terrifying war magic plants, he began to doubt the power of his queues to shoot the phalanx. Anyone who has a certain understanding of the modern military history of the earth must know that artillery is the terminator of the dense phalanx queues in ancient times. The combination of cavalry and artillery is enough to crush all the existence of similar phalanxes. In modern European history, Napoleon did this.
If the legendary war magic plant cluster in the elves can really produce the devastating effect of modern artillery clusters, Zhang Quan would like to admit that the military system of orcs he built on the base mountain that he had really struggled to compete with. He must at least get a powerful long-range weapon, that is, artillery.
But Zhang Quan is really hard to get modern artillery. It is not only a rare weapon, but also difficult to ensure safe contact with such a channel force in modern times. And even if he gets it, can this group of orcs in the Gaia world really learn to control it in a short time? The manipulation of artillery is not as simple as muskets. Artillery training is not that simple. It is obviously unreliable to create a team of orc artillery in a short time.
He didn't know when the specific elves invasion began and how large the scale was, but from the mouth of the elves that had been eaten by him, he already knew that the news of the elves invasion was true, and the appearance of these two elves on the wasteland was indeed used as spies.
It won't be too long for him to prepare.
Then, he suddenly thought of something, in previous history, how orcs who lack heavy weapons defeated the invasion of the elves.
...
"Captain Rus, I still respect you and me very much. Although I don't appreciate your methods of doing things, I still agree with your ideals. You have also seen that the Base Mountain tribe is also engaged in agricultural planting on this land. What you leopard people have not done before, our Base Mountain is still doing. "
In Walter City, a room made of cement giant wood, the tied Odilus was fixed to the wall with iron chains. A square stool was placed less than five feet in front of him. Zhang Quan, the current owner of Walter City, sat carelessly on it.
He asked Ruthurus:
"Because of you, the strength of the Leopard Alliance has been greatly reduced. Now the elves are about to invade. I am afraid that only our base mountain can block them. You said, in such a crisis, as the sinner of all orc races on the wasteland, should you think about making up for your merits?"
Zhang Quan said it very skillfully. He knew that the weaknesses of people like Russia, and idealists always put group interests in a more important position than their own interests. It would be appropriate to use this reason to impress such people. However, because of Russia, this statement is actually a distortion. This time, the leopard people's civil strife, and the base mountain took advantage of the situation and went south to defeat the leopard people's troops and caused great losses to the leopard people. Of course, Zhang Quan would never mention this.
Odilus raised his head and looked at him weakly, then quickly lowered his head. People like him were in the base mountain, and no one was thinking of him as a prisoner, because they were worried that his extraordinary force would keep his physical strength below the warning line that could cause danger. Although there was no punishment such as whip, life would never be easy.
Zhang Quan is definitely not that kind of stupid good person.
"The elves are coming? It seems that they are true..." After pausing, he continued to reply, "What do you want to ask? Tell me!"
"But I don't guarantee that I will answer." He continued weakly.
Zhang Quan smiled, without any sign of embarrassment because of such a dialogue scene. Russian Dilus' reaction was quite satisfying. He lowered his voice and asked quietly:
"You leopard humans have been fighting with the elves on the border for so long, so they must have some experience. Now we are going to go to the battlefield of the elves invading army, but my subordinates have no experience in fighting with the elves. You said, what are the ways for us orcs to deal with the large-scale war weapons owned by the elves?"
Odilus raised his head again, looked at him in surprise, and said:
"You human is really a bit strange. It's not like an ordinary human businessman. The way you speak is like you are really an orc standing among us. This is definitely not a habit that a southern human should have."
Oh? Is that so? This guy is keen. Zhang Quan hurriedly called to change the topic and replied,
"Is I an orc or a human? What's important now is that the orcs must resist the invasion of elves. From this standpoint, I think, you and I, including my tribe, should all stand on the orc side." This leopard man who is said to have experienced in the human world is indeed extraordinary. He felt his strangeness so quickly.
Russian Dilus thought about it, shook his head slightly, as if he had put down something,
"Stand on the orc side, haha?" He had a sarcastic smile on his face. "Humans are indeed eloquent, but does it mean to me which side you stand on? So what about orcs, so what about humans? I am now a prisoner, what else can I worry about?"
"It's used." Zhang Quan was not affected by Odylus's words. "At the moment when the orc wasteland is about to be invaded by the elves, it is useless without orcs. Any orc should stand up and serve the survival of the race. This power, no matter how big orc is, is the inevitable choice of every orc. This is the righteousness of the nation. You should not disappoint me!"
Odylus lowered his head. Obviously, what Zhang Quan said just now touched him. Although he had encountered difficulties, he was indeed a fanatical idealist, and this would not change. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he spoke:
"Okay! I believe in you. Actually, now, I have nothing to be fooled with."
He paused again, and under Zhang Quan's expectant gaze, he said:
"Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of for the elves. Their weaknesses are very obvious. The elves' large-scale war weapons consume extremely high, requiring a large number of magic crystal and nuclear resources, and requiring a large number of high-quality magicians and clergy. Their war system is destined to be truly elite soldiers and powerful generals, with high-consuming wars and not much sustainability."
"No sustainability?" Zhang Quan noticed this keenly. Is it a modern high-tech war model similar to the United States on the earth? It cannot afford to fight because of the huge cost? Things like the Magic Crystal and Magic Core must be extremely important strategic materials in this world. Coupled with the needs of high-quality magicians and clergy, it should be difficult to maintain such a war.
Odilus nodded and continued to say,
"The total population of the elves is only a few million. Even if the Northern Elves Royal Court is mobilized, it will not send more than 50,000 troops. Unlike us, the whole people are soldiers. Most of the elves' army organization are auxiliary. A war weapon requires a large number of elves population to serve and a large number of elite soldiers to protect. A 50,000 elves army, among which the truly effective war weapons are only hundreds or thousands, and they must be divided into different battlefields.
So their power is not as great as you think.”
This guy saw the anxiety in Zhang Quanmei's eyes.
"Most of the war weapons of the elves are very bulky and have a very slow deployment time. There is still a lot of preparation work before the war and cannot quickly form combat power. Therefore, the war weapons force of the elves has another huge disadvantage, that is, the lack of on-site response ability!"
"And this is the strongest point of our orcs. Our weapon is our body and can attack at any time. We have extremely strong mobility. We are never fixed in one place. Our wasteland is vast and there is no strategic location worthy of their focus on attack. In a battlefield environment like the wasteland, we can easily detour very far, far away... the elves cannot guarantee their supply lines at all."
"The war between elves and orcs has never been on the front battlefield. We orcs are stupid and consider attacking the front lines they have prepared. When they come, we run away. When they leave, we will come back - they can't fight us at all, how can we attack us? The elves' war mobility is far less than our orcs. The distance we maneuvered for a day, they can't even run for a month and a half. Once their army moves and opens up gaps between each other, then our chance comes. If you keep going like this... You should know how our orcs defeat the invasion of the elves now!"
Zhang Quan nodded to show that he understood, grandma, feelings, these guys were the ones that the Soviet Union had when they were playing against Germany during World War II on Earth! The strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, the strategy of the orcs on the wasteland were naturally suitable, and the weakness of the elves was indeed too obvious, enough for him to take advantage of the battlefield. If the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us were used well, they could indeed become the winners and losers on the battlefield. No wonder the orcs were able to compete with the elves who seemed to be so outstanding and advanced equipment at first glance.
"And, in addition to all the shortcomings of fighting for victory or defeat on the battlefield, the elves have one of the biggest weaknesses in fighting. As long as this weakness exists, it means that the elves will never be able to take the position of the overlord of the mainland. Humans and our orcs know it. Therefore, no matter how smart the elves' magic is and how powerful their war weapon forces are, the humans and orcs have never been afraid of them."
"Oh! What's the weakness?"
