The Bloody Crusade of the Ash Knight

The war must be directed by oneself, and the sound development of the principality must be planned by oneself. In order to turn Luxembourg into a large-scale battlefield, Andile was worried.

After understanding the battlefield situation, Andier began to make adjustments to the army.

The First Army was already half disabled, and Kasuga Castle still had new troops. However, at the beginning of the war, the army had not yet completed its transformation, so there was no need to replenish it at this time.

Although the city wall of Luxembourg is very wide, it does not require that many troops on the city wall. Ten thousand soldiers are more than enough to defend the first city wall.

Andier reassigned the remaining 50,000 infantrymen.

If the number of days of defense is an even number, the Second Army and the Fourth Army will defend the city wall; if the number of days of defense is an odd number, the Third Army and the Fifth Army will defend the city.

As for the Sixth Army, it was the reserve in Andier's hands.

In addition, elite cavalry and guard cavalry will be stationed on the second city wall. If the first city wall is in danger, elite knights will assume the support task.

The support mission should have been performed by the all-around cavalry, but after the all-around cavalry formed an army, they had not yet trained in archery and needed to train their skills in the military camp.

Lucerne Gorge, orc camp.

The last time the Brave Tribe launched an all-out attack, it didn't have very good results. With the loss of troops and generals, Zuo Zuokun had been somewhat discouraged in the past two days.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite. The nearby orc tribe gave enough honor to the brave tribe and came here. Zuo Zuokun assembled an army of 15, but commanding an army of 15 was not a simple matter.

Although the orcs are simple and brave, there are also conflicts among the tribes.

Herbivorous tribes are disgusted by carnivorous tribes, and carnivorous tribes also have dog parts, wolf parts, spiritual claws, fangs, and poisonous...

They are all nearby tribes, and each tribe has its own grudges. Just appeasing these tribes has already consumed all Zuo Zuokun's attention. Where can he find the energy to direct the war?

According to Zuo Zuokun's plan, at the beginning of the war, the Tauren tribe fought fiercely and achieved impressive results, overwhelming all the tribes on the battlefield.

After gathering the backbone of the Tauren, they successfully scaled the city wall. However, before the Tauren could gain a firm foothold, the Weir Family Knights directly launched their force...

After the first battle, the Tauren lost their troops, a large number of middle-level commanders hated the battlefield, and the Tauren of the brave tribe had to rest.

Most of the Luxembourg defenders are new recruits. Do the orc siege troops often attack the city?

Although the orcs in the army are all tribal warriors, the orcs in the Eternal Land rarely participate in wars with humans.

Siege? I can't. Such a high city wall... Aren't you bullying honest people?

After appeasing the various tribes under his command, the intensity of the attack on the city wall was naturally reduced a lot.

There are 15 orcs, the brave tribe brings 5, and the others are warriors from various tribes. This 30-strong army comes from large tribes.

In order to control the rhythm of the attack, Zuo Zuokun could only attack in batches based on tribes.

Although the intensity of the war was reduced, it also gave the orcs a chance to familiarize themselves with the rhythm of siege.

Zuo Zuokun planned to train the troops in the early stage. He just took this opportunity to have time to sort out the army and firmly control the command of the army.

Both sides are training their troops, and Andier is naturally happy to see the results of the situation in front of him.

In low-intensity combat, human soldiers are protected by city walls, so personnel losses are naturally lower.

The armies cooperate with each other and the training effect is remarkable.

Andil's recruits are all trained from slaves.

These slaves have received rough ideological education and regard Andil as a god.

The first army entered the battlefield for the first time. When the recruits saw the orcs who had oppressed them, they immediately burst out with all their strength.

Although the First Army suffered heavy casualties, they still fought to the death!

These are the slave soldiers of the Principality of Will, and this is the result of Zhuo's work!

In five years, the slave team led by Zhuo taught all the slaves in the territory human language and instilled new ideas into all the slaves...

In the blink of an eye, the fighting in Luxembourg lasted for two and a half months.

During this time, the orcs' attack had been tepid. It's winter. Although the winter in the south is not cold, food is still scarce.

The orc army has a bottomless pit in its belly. With an army of 150,000, the initial food supply was all borne by nearby tribes.

As winter approached, the landlord's family ran out of food, so Zuo Zuokun had no choice but to allocate food and grass from the brave tribe.

There was insufficient food and fodder, so in order to save energy, the siege training came to an end.

The Lemurs acted collectively and moved the stones thrown away by the defenders back to Luxembourg. These were important materials for the defenders and naturally could not be discarded.

After more than two months of training, the Almighty Cavalry's archery skills are finally as good as they should be.

The soldiers used double-string Wushan bows and used alloy arrows that were as thick as a thumb!

A double-string Wushan bow, the bow body is reinforced with alloy, and the bow strings are tanned from the large tendons of fifth-level monsters. Just firing the bow requires a thousand pounds of force.

After two months of training, the arms of the Almighty Cavalry are bulging...

Most of the 20,000 cavalry were old knights who followed Andil into the battle to kill the enemy. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of these cavalry, Andil did not hesitate to spend a lot of medicine.

For two and a half months, the supplies shipped from Kasuga City have not stopped.

A strip of supplies that stretched for more than ten miles was constantly being swallowed up by Luxembourg.

The newly built ordnance depot and logistics warehouse are full of various materials.

As the Royal Logistics Manager of the Principality of Will, Olson was in pain and happiness.

The pain is because all kinds of materials need to be checked and stored in the warehouse by oneself. The joy is the satisfaction of having a full warehouse.

"Boss, it's so boring. Have all the orcs gone back to spend the winter? It's not cold in Luxembourg, right?"

“We have a large amount of fertile land, 80 slaves, and countless livestock used for farming, and the military settlements have a relatively efficient farming strategy, so naturally there will be no shortage of food.

The orcs themselves don't know how to farm, so they rely on their slaves to do the farming. The slaves didn't know how to plant, so they all depended on the weather. Naturally there will be a shortage of food. "

"The orcs are short of food? How come? There are so many orc slaves..."

"There are many slaves, so the consumption will naturally be high. Besides, in the orc tribe, slaves are consumables, and the orcs don't know how to farm. The harvest of crops will naturally not be very good."

"Well! Ever since the boss proposed intensive farming, our wheat output far exceeds that of the nearby principalities!"

"Hey... this only means that our land is fertile."

"Boss, the orcs are short of food, should we go out and tease them?"

"Huh? How could you have such dangerous thoughts?"

"Boss, you built Luxembourg just to create a battlefield and improve everyone's strength."

Andile pondered for a while and thought that what Snow said was reasonable.

"At two o'clock tonight, we will bring elite knights + guard cavalry to attack the orc camp at night!"

"Ten thousand cavalry? The roads in Lucerne Canyon are narrow. If the orcs pursue us, we will easily be bitten by the tail..."

"Hey, okay, Snow, you've grown up so quickly? Not bad, not bad..."

"Hehehe, if you follow the boss every day, you will always grow."

"Yes, you have withstood my test. I allow you to come with me to investigate the orc camp tonight."

"Huh? Scouting the orc camp?"

"Well, since we are going to attack the camp, we naturally need to know the layout of the enemy camp! Since the orcs are short on food, let's burn their food and grass!"

"Ha! We burned the tauren's rations, why don't they come out and fight us?"

"That's even better! After training with bows and arrows for so long, the orcs won't attack on a large scale at all! If we can lure out the orc army this time, we can just come and see the power of the archers."

After sending Snofu away, Andier curled his lips first and then patted his head.

To complete the test, Andiel obviously ignored the narrowness of the Lucerne Canyon...

During this period of time, Andil was busy arranging supplies, and his head was a little swollen, and his brain was naturally a little slow. Fortunately, Snow found the problem.

That night, Andile took Snow Fluorine with him and jumped off the wall of Luxembourg under the cover of darkness.

Driving quickly, Andier shuttled through the Lucerne Gorge.

In the center of the canyon, there was originally a stone wall defense line to resist the orcs, but now the wall has been demolished.

Seeing Andil stop, Snofu also stopped beside Andil.

"Boss, why did you stop?"

"This is the center of the canyon, the narrowest part of the canyon. The canyons on both sides are not too steep, so it is suitable for us to climb up!"

"Climb up?"

"Well, approach the orc camp from the top of the canyon. Anyway, the orc camp is built close to the canyon."

Andil used his hands and feet to climb up.

There is no greenery in the Lucerne Gorge, and both sides of the canyon are full of sharp rocks.

Andil has never learned rock climbing techniques, but after all, he has outstanding strength. How can a small canyon stop Andil's footsteps?

Climbing up the Lucerne Gorge, Andile looked up at the stars, determined the direction, and continued moving forward.

In order to save trouble, the orc camp was built on the canyon cliffs. Andier brought Snow Fluorine to the front and directly went to observe.

The canyon cliff is 700 meters high, but both of them are seventh-level powerhouses with excellent eyesight.

"Boss, the orcs are so arrogant that they actually built a camp close to the cliff!"

"What did you think of?"

"There are so many boulders on the top of the cliff, let's push them down and bring justice from heaven!"

"So, when setting up camp in the future, we must set up camp in open highlands."

"Highland?"

"The terrain in the south is flat and rainy, so the camp is built on high ground to prevent water attacks."

"Water attack?"

Snow Fluorine transformed into a hundred thousand whys, which made Andier roll his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense and observe carefully!"

After observing the orc camp, Andil already had a preliminary attack plan in mind...

Back in Luxembourg, it was already daylight.

The soldiers in the military camp were taking roll call. After breakfast, Andile went directly to the military camp to select those who would participate in the mission.

First, Andil selected the Five Thousand Almighty Knights. The Omni Knight climbed up the canyon, rolled down boulders, and attacked the orc camp with rockets.

In addition to the Almighty Knight, Andiel also selected elites from the Elite Knights and the Guards Knights.

Each of the five thousand cavalrymen carried kerosene, which was contained in animal skin water bags.

Andir planned to attract the attention of the orcs with boulders and rockets. When the orcs were attracted, five thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy camp and burned the orcs' food, grass and supplies.

Once the plan is in place, all that remains is preparation and implementation.

The preparation work was naturally carried out by Snow Fluorine. The physical work of moving stones was handled quickly and well by Snow Fluorine.

However, during the day in the camp, the wizard will use bird voyeurism to observe the situation in the camp, and preparations can only be carried out at night, and only in the middle of the night.

The wizard is not a fool. Suddenly there is a pile of boulders above the camp. Does the wizard know what is going on?

Therefore, the soldiers only had the first half of the night to prepare and the second half of the night to launch the attack.

Time is tight, and the effect of justice from heaven will definitely not be very good, but it doesn't matter. Justice from heaven only disturbs the sight of the orcs, and the real damage comes from the fire oil attack of the elite knights!

Between staying in the camp and working as a coolie, Snowfield decisively chose the latter.

Soldiers participating in the operation were allowed to rest during the day. The soldiers knew they had missions at night and directly chose to fall asleep.

Almost all of the selected soldiers have followed Andil for several years. These soldiers have long been accustomed to war and have learned to enjoy war.

It was dark, and ten thousand soldiers filed out of Luxembourg.

The soldiers following Snow Flurry did not ride horses, and each carried a bow and arrow and a bundle of hemp rope.

The march was interrupted when they reached the canyon where the two climbed last night, and Snow began to lead the climb.

Five thousand all-powerful cavalry climbed up the canyon, took a nap first, and waited until the sky was completely dark before starting to move towards the orc camp.

Andil led five thousand elite cavalry and slowly groped forward.

Since the orcs began to attack, soldiers from the Principality of Will rarely entered the Lucerne Gorge. Andil didn't know if there were any orc sentries in the canyon.

Thirty family knights abandoned their horses and walked in front of the army.

These family knights are the sharp knives of this mission. The family knights need to eliminate all the orc sentries on the road.

On a dark and windy night, Andil took advantage of the darkness and led the cavalry to explore near the orcs' base camp.

"Report~"

The family knight clasped his fists in salute and deliberately lowered his voice.

"We're still five miles away from the Orcs. There's no need to be so nervous!"

"Uh... Fourth brother, all the sentries around have been cleared!"

In the Wilton family, Andil's generation currently has 17 brothers. Among the 17, Andil ranks fourth.

"Doron, this is a military camp, please call me Commander-in-Chief, or Lord Earl!"

"Oh, I got it, fourth brother."

Doron is the youngest knight among the brothers. He has just turned sixteen this year. It is his first time on the battlefield and he is obviously a little nervous.

"Okay, I understand. Duolun, go find the second brother. When fighting, be sure to follow the second brother closely. The second brother will take care of your safety!"

"Oh……"

The second brother, Jimmy, is an old man of the Wilton Knights. When the Wilton Territory was first established, he followed Andier through life and death many times. He was a veteran on the battlefield.

Jimmy's commanding talent is average, and his training talent is even more difficult to describe.

After the territory was operating smoothly, Jimmy was left in Kasuga City by Andil to assist Jimin in handling territory affairs.

This time, the family knights suffered heavy losses. In order to revive the family knights, Andier had to recruit all the family knights who met the standards, including Jimmy and Doron.

Unlike Jimmy, the seventeenth-year-old Duolun has a very strong talent for cultivation. Now that he is just sixteen years old, Duolun's strength has reached the peak of the fifth level, which is close to that of Andil many years ago!

Of course, Dolan's success is inseparable from Andil's supply of medicine.

All sentries in front were removed, and Andil continued to lead the team, moving forward slowly.

(I originally wanted to add an update to: The Well-Read Knight today. But I was too busy at work and didn’t have time to fish. I didn’t finish it until now after get off work. I’m too lazy to divide it into chapters. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. If I can Fish, definitely add more!)
