Chapter 33 Before the Great War
After experiencing a fierce battle, both sides have a certain understanding of the strength of their opponents. In this way, the battle situation stabilized between the camps on both sides. The original generals no longer take the initiative to provoke because they are afraid of the orc wolf cavalry and the upcoming bear cavalry. The orcs know that the original fortifications are well defended, their attack is not at all, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to attack. There is now a terrible peace between the two sides.
However, as the days went by, Zhang Zhentian knew that the bear cavalry of the orc army would definitely arrive at the orc camp and gather into an army. At that time, I'm afraid it will be the end of the original troops in Bamianpo.
These days, some reinforcements from Yunzhou and other states and counties in Yanyun have come one after another. Now, the original army of Bamianpo has gathered from the previous 8,000 to 20,000. And the command of this army has now been handed over to Zhang Zhentian, but his deputy was changed from Xue Jin, who was chosen by himself, to the concubine group. This deployment was naturally arranged by Yu Lie, the lord of Yanyun Kingdom. Now that Yu Lie has returned to Yanzhou, as for the rebellion of Yu Huaide, Yu Lie will naturally deal with it strictly, so I won't say more here.
The arrival of the concubine group is a great news for Zhang Zhentian. First, Guiqun is a royal nobleman of the authentic Yanyun Kingdom, and he is military-oriented and good at leading troops; second, Guiqun has brought a large number of crossbow cannons and catapults that Zhang Zhentian urgently needs. Although Zhang Zhentian had ordered Anding Fang and others to build crossbow cannons before that, how could the soldiers temporarily piece together on the battlefield be compared with those created by the skilled craftsmen of Yanzhou Military Manufacturing Bureau?
Zhang Zhentian personally connected Yuqun to his new Chinese army account. After the two sat down, Zhang Zhentian politely said to Yuqun, "General Yu, you have worked hard all the way!"
"Mr. Zhang, it's polite." While returning the salute, the concubine replied, "It is also a lucky thing for the third life to be able to partner with his husband. Just sir, Yao Xiu's injury..."
"Oh! Her injury is much better." Zhang Zhentian sighed, "It's not long since she was able to go to the ground. It seems that what these alien spirits are looking for are indeed better than those used by us. Obviously, Zhang Zhentian exaggerated the curative effect of the herbs given to Yao Xiu, but he also expressed a kind of respect from the Turin people.
"Hehe! Sir, that's right, and it's not right!" After listening to this, the group laughed and said, "Actually, these spiritual clans have lived in this world longer than our original people. Naturally, they know better than us what is good and what is not good!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yuqun's words, and he was quite surprised. He did not expect that Yuqun would have such an opinion on the spiritual clan. It seems that the concubine group is also an alien among the original people. Zhang Zhentian knew that even if the original people in the world did not reject the spirit clan, most of them thought that the spirit clan was lower than the original people. This is just like human beings in the earth world. They think that they are the only ones who are the highest in all life.
"Hehe! Sir, I heard that you are worried about the orc bear cavalry? Yu Qun did not pick up Zhang Zhentian's words, so he said something else instead. Yu Qun also knew in his heart that there would be no reasonable result in this discussion about the spiritual clan. In this case, it doesn't matter if we don't discuss it, so as not to hurt the harmony.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yuqun's words, and he nodded, and then he looked at Yuqun and asked, "General, I don't know if you have any way to deal with these bear cavalry."
"Actually, Mr. is from Dongyi! You should know that there is a strange bird called Shangyang in your Dongyi country, and your Dongyi royal family also has a special army called Shangyang cavalry. Yu Qun replied with a smile, "Of the armies of various countries I have seen, the Shang sheep cavalry of Dongyi is the most effective against the bear cavalry."
"Is it?" Zhang Zhentian was happy first, and then shook his head, "General, we are far away from Dongyi, and I am not a Dongyi royal family or general. How can I mobilize this merchant sheep cavalry?"
"Ha ha, that's what the gentleman said." After hearing this, he shook his head helplessly, "Actually, the armies of southern countries have some ways to deal with bear cavalry, and they all know some fire spells. Your Dongyi water system spell was not the best to deal with that bear cavalry.
"Oh?" After listening to this, Zhang Zhentian thought for a while and then asked, "If we can contact hundreds of Vietnamese troops, can we ask them to send some people to help us deal with the bear cavalry?"
"That would be the best." Yu Qun nodded, and then he sighed, "It just doesn't seem appropriate for us to go to Baiyue people for assistance out of thin air. Their army is now under the attack of three orcs, and they don't want to bother us if they don't ask us for help. How can we bother others again!"
"The general also makes some sense." Zhang Zhentian nodded after hearing this, but he said, "Actually, I came to Yanyun to escort Fang Kun, the general of Baiyue, back to the Baiyue camp. So, I think we can try it." It seems that Zhang Zhentian still expects to get a little help from Baiyue people.
"If so, that's fine!" After hearing this, Kunqun quickly said, "Then I will arrange someone to quickly escort General Fang back to the Baiyue camp, and also talk about our situation with Commander Baiyue. Let's see if they can send someone to support us."
"Good! It's so good." Zhang Zhentian repeatedly promised. When Yu Qun saw it, he got up and left the tent and went out to arrange it.
Let's talk about the orc camp. In the past few days, a large number of orc follow-up infantry have reached the orc camp. Now the periphery of the orc camp is no longer a simple fence, but a solid wooden wall. On the wall, stacks and arrow towers for attacking soldiers to shoot arrows or drop javelins have also been built. Outside the wall, orc soldiers also dug traps such as horse pits. This orc was not good at setting up organs, but after fighting with the original people for a long time, the preferences of the original people were gradually learned by them and used them.
"General!" He Lanqing strode into the tent of the Capricorn, "Now there are 800 wolf cavalry and 200 bear cavalry in our camp. 4,000 other cavalry and 7,000 infantry. In addition, our camp has also been properly defended, and their original people will no longer sneak up on our camp. Do you think we should take revenge and attack the original camp?
"What's going on in the original person's side recently?" After listening to He Lanqing's words, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that the military strength in his hand was enough in front of this narrow eight-sided slope. No matter how many troops there are, they are just crowded together; when you really want to fight, you can't set up a position.
"Fight back to the general! Their originals have also increased their troops on a large scale recently. He Lanqing replied, "It is estimated that their number will not be lower than us. And I heard that they are making crossbows and other things.
"The crossbow?" The Capricorn was a little surprised to hear this. He was not surprised by the number of original people. The land occupied by the original people is suitable for all kinds of people, so their number is several times or even dozens of times more than the orcs, so it is normal that the original people's army is more than the orcs. But the crossbow is different. Although the Capricorn did not know what the original prepared these defensive walls or tough things for. However, he was keenly aware that these primitive people should not prepare crossbow guns to bombard their own camp.
"Yes! General." He Lanqing replied, "Our details were found on the mountains on both sides. They placed the crossbow cannon behind the fortifications. It seems that they want to use the crossbow cannon to resist our attack on them."
"Good!" He agreed, and he obviously didn't figure out the purpose of the original crossbow. However, since the original people are willing to use some machinery to deal with themselves, let's see if it is their mechanical power or the axe of my army! Thinking of this, he ordered loudly, "Let's start the war tomorrow morning and attack the original people's camp!"
