Chapter 490 - 490 80 Collision_1

490: Chapter 80, Collision_1 490: Chapter 80, Collision_1 Up on the city tower, looking at the gathering cavalry troops below, Hudson suddenly felt that the Bimon Army Corps could be challenged.

Unlike the listless infantry, the quality of the Moxi cavalry was quite good, especially the knight corps that caught his eye.

The sudden change was not because Hudson was rash, but because the situation had changed.

There were confirmed news from the Human Alliance side, the arrival time of the reinforcements was definitively set, and the original passive response plan naturally needed to be more proactive.

“Earl Hudson, if you command these troops, can we encircle and annihilate the Bimon Army Corps?”

The hopeful question of Chancellor Helcheg directly stunned Hudson.

Handing all the cavalry to him, a guest army commander, was a somewhat grand gesture.

After a brief moment of confusion, Hudson quickly understood what was going on.

The proverb “Foreign preachers recite the scriptures well” applies equally on the Continent of Aslante.

Compared to the Moxi Duchy, the Alpha Kingdom is indeed a large country.

As a general of the Alpha Kingdom, he would naturally be highly regarded.

Even with Crown Prince Caesar’s previous major defeat, it could not affect Hudson’s “Halo of the Famous General”.

With a renowned general on hand, there’s naturally no need to risk bringing in a commander with no outstanding military exploits.

In case they get a bummer like Crown Prince Caesar, the Moxi Duchy can’t afford to gamble.

“Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, to annihilate a Bimon Cavalry Regiment in the field, unless they themselves make a major mistake.

Under normal circumstances, even if we have tens of times more troops to besiege them, they can still escape in advance.

So the key to annihilating the Bimon Army Corps does not lie with us, but with whether the enemy commander is willing to cooperate.

Of course, if we can lower our expectations a bit, merely defeating them, or driving them away, is still quite hopeful.”

Hudson’s calmness stems from the fact that the Orc reinforcements have slowed down their marching speed.

This time it was not the team muffling the speed deliberately, but the Moxi people mimicking the Expeditionary Army and damaging their advance route.

Without so many supplies to slow them down, the other Orc reinforcements were affected relatively less.

The exact time of arrival is unclear, but it will certainly be a few days later than normal marching.

A few days in normal times don’t mean much, but a few days now could change the fate of the Bimon Army Corps.

“Then we entrust this matter to Earl Hudson!”

The straightforward words of Chancellor Helcheg completely dumbfounded Hudson.

Are the Moxi people so straightforward?

He had merely made an analysis; when did he agree to it?

Looking closely at Chancellor Helcheg, hoping to find a flaw in his expression, but ultimately to no avail.

The nearby Moxi ministers did not object either.

It was clear that they had discussed it in advance and were waiting for him to fall into the trap.

The issue is not so much about commanding the army, but about discussing the “price” first!

The allied forces of the Human Race currently have three Cavalry Corps + four knight corps, and the Palace Knight Corps, their overall strength is definitely above the Bimon Army Corps.

Moreover, they can still draw some noble knights from the army for combat, plus the masters from various families in the Moxi Duchy.

As long as they are not blind, there is hardly any chance of defeat.

If the Moxi people had not suffered too many defeats and lost confidence in their own generals, this easy opportunity to earn military exploits would never have been Hudson’s turn.

The cost of defeating the Bimon Army Corps is no longer a problem at the moment.

It’s all politically necessary.

Now that the arrival time of the Human Alliance’s reinforcements is certain, the Moxi people must show off in advance.

Ideally, they can convince the Alliance that, as long as they send more reinforcements, they can soon turn the tables and revitalise the entire battlefield.

After some hesitation, Hudson finally decided to do the favor.

He considered it a contribution to the Human Race’s cause against the Orcs, and didn’t worry about it too much.

“I don’t mind leading the army, but during the mission, all participating personnel must strictly obey military orders.

Anyone who disobeys the military orders shall be executed on the spot.

We cannot wait for your noble parliament’s due process!”

This is an awkward topic, the issue of whether nobles should be executed on the spot for violating military orders has always been a controversial topic in the Moxi Duchy.

There are both supporters and opponents, and it has been submitted to the Noble Parliament for review several times, but it has always been vetoed.

In fact, this controversy is mainly due to the disagreement between the king and several major nobles, and the small and medium-sized nobles are just fence sitters.

If it were a native Moxi nobleman, daring to make this request would immediately be ridiculed.

Hudson was different.

The Alpha Kingdom had implemented special wartime laws long ago.

During ordinary times, the execution of a noble criminal required the approval of the Noble Parliament, but the battlefield was an exception.

Bringing up something with precedent doesn’t seem abrupt.

And with the support of the Human Alliance’s legal code, there’s no lack of legal basis.

The awkward atmosphere did not last long, and several representatives of the major Moxi nobility nodded in agreement.

It was obvious that they were all wise people, very clear about the current situation, and would not allow them to be capricious any longer.

Whether it be bluffing or cheating, the Human Alliance’s reinforcements had to be coaxed over.

At this point, the three Northern Kingdoms are all competitors.

The sooner the reinforcements come to help a country, the sooner the situation can be reversed, and their own losses will be minimized.

“Relocate and fight again, fight to the death …” are all slogans.

If it really comes to that, the tragic scenes of nine in ten households suffering disaster will truly happen before their eyes.

The destruction of ancestral property, severe injury, and decline in social status, all the shuffling would not be what the current beneficiaries would like to see.

Having obtained the authorization, Hudson was uncompromising and started issuing orders immediately: “Send orders down, let the soldiers rest for one day, and start off tomorrow morning for a decisive battle with the Orcs!

Notify all regiment-level and above officers, in two hours, I will hold a military meeting on this city tower.”

The decisive style of operation really gave the high ranks of the Moxi Duchy a start, followed by a sigh of relief.

They were not afraid of Hudson’s decision to kill, but feared the commander he invited was indecisive.

The more decisive the performance, the more convincing it is.

Of course, if Hudson looked a bit older, preferably in his fifties or sixties, that would be even more reassuring.

…

Thirty miles away, within the Bimon Army camp.

Receiving the news that reinforcements would be delayed, Prince Butzweig was furious.

His already bad mood became even worse.

The inability of the reinforcements to arrive on time meant that the Bimon Army Corps would fight alone in the following days.

He was unflustered two days ago because the Moxi People’s army was still on the road, and he didn’t concern himself with the single Cavalry Corps + Palace Knight Corps in the hands of the expeditionary army.

Starting from today, the situation has fundamentally changed.

The Human Race, which has added two Cavalry Corps and four Knight Corps, already has the power to threaten the Bimon Army Corps.

This may not be all, among the Nobles’ Allied Forces of the southern provinces that he had bullied before, there is also a Knight Corps.

Cavalry against Cavalry, it’s not so simple to take advantage of high mobility to move freely on the battlefield.

“Satuk, send someone to urge the reinforcements on all routes, tell them if they don’t come, I’ll take the troops and leave first!”

This is a rant, but also his honest heart.

The Prince Butzweig who was acting as bait, really does not want to do it now.

After losing three hundred thousand cannon fodder, they can still offset each other, as if the previous military exploits were in vain.

If he loses the Bimon Army Corps in his hands, that would really be the end.

Even if he is a descendant of the Bimon Emperor, he cannot escape the punishment of the Imperial Court.

Who let the Bimon tribe have a small population?

Even with universal conscription, there are so few troops, they simply cannot afford such losses.

The one who speaks doesn’t mean it, but the listener does.

With just one rant from Prince Butzweig, his subordinates truly began to scheming on how to lead the troops safely and run away.

“Your Highness, it is not easy for us to withdraw now.

Unless we can make a big detour, deliberately avoiding the human army in the Dapes area, otherwise, they are definitely going to intercept.

But in this way, the time wasted will be much more.

The additional journey is not necessarily safe.

We carry little food with us, and if the delay lasts too long, it is very easy to lead the troops into danger.

Rushing to join the Imperial Court reinforcements is also fraught with danger.

According to intelligence, the Human Race has destroyed the road to the Northern Border, and if we are not careful, we will be blocked by the human army.

They now have an absolute advantage in numbers, and meeting them head-on is likely to be disastrous!

If your Highness really wants to move, the best choice is still to avoid the reality and directly turn around and enter the Orton Duchy, and then take a detour into the Warhammer Kingdom.

The war situation there is also very tense now, if we can go over to help, it will definitely be of great help to the Empire’s strategy!”

Clark advised.

Strategists solve urgent needs and worry about concerns.

Under the sudden change in the situation, adding such a retreat plan, Prince Butzweig naturally would not refuse.

As a bait, he is qualified.

Not only did a large amount of the Moxi Duchy’s living forces get attracted, the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Army also chipped in.

Next, it’s time to gather the net.

Whether or not these human military forces can be swallowed up depends on the performance of their allies.

The road was destroyed and the marching time was forcibly prolonged.

This can’t blame the allies.

But the consequences arising from this, if he has to take responsibility for it, that would be totally unfair.

After taking a glance at his own strategist, Prince Butzweig nodded slightly and said: “This plan, keep it as an alternative for now!

We’ll wait and see how the situation develops.

If it’s irreparable, we’ll discuss this issue again.

At any rate, we can’t easily…”

He spoke tough words, but deep down, he was already considering whether to adopt this plan.

…

What you fear, you attract.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone down.

A group of Bimons were busy lighting a fire and cooking when suddenly, the ground began to tremble.

Soldiers with a bit of experience could easily determine that this was a sign of the arrival of cavalry.

The Imperial Court’s reinforcements were still on the road, and the enemy came to their doorstep first, Prince Butzweig was furious.

Although he had received news of the Human Army’s deployment in advance, the buffer time was still too short, there was simply no time for any military arrangements.

“Pass the order down, the whole army prepares for battle!”

Prince Butzweig immediately ordered.

Whether to fight or not, this is a vexing question.

However, this distressing scene didn’t last long.

The Human Army that appeared on the horizon was making the decision for Prince Butzweig.

The man leading them was none other than Master Hudson.
