Chapter 511 - 511 88 Alien Version of Rifle_3

511: Chapter 88, Alien Version of Rifle_3 511: Chapter 88, Alien Version of Rifle_3 Considering the animosity among the Five Major Royal Families of the Orcs, the need for reinforcements would surely be reported to their respective commanders, effectively taking even longer.

We may as well calculate for only an hour and a half of fight time.

Defeating the enemy within this short period is certainly impossible.

However, if we lower our expectations to merely causing chaos and slowing down the enemy’s advance, it would not be difficult.

If the sneak attack takes place at night, the damage caused could be even greater.

There are many abandoned noble castles along the way, choosing a few places to hide the troops should not be difficult, right?”

Hudson said calmly.

The way one thinks about a problem can ultimately affect the result.

Using the enemy’s divided troops to defeat the enemy’s army is challenging, but causing chaos is quite simple.

Even if it only delays for one day, it means that the enemy’s attack will be one day late.

Hudson has calculated that with the main road damaged, it would take at least thirteen more days for the Orc Army to reach Dapes.

The time left for the enemy’s offensive is essentially a month.

As long as our army is not defeated within this one month, reinforcements from the Human Alliance will arrive.

One could say that each day now is crucial for both sides of the battle, directly determining the future fate of the Moxi Duchy.

“It’s easy to hide troops, but if we want to deceive the Hawkman scouts, we can only deploy a small number of troops, moving at night through lesser routes.

For safety reasons, it is best that each team does not exceed one thousand people.

And they must all be elite cavalry, to ensure that they can evade the enemy’s pursuit after a sneak attack.

Such a small force can, at most, cause minor chaos.

I’m afraid it wouldn’t cause much damage to the enemy.

If the enemy ensnares them, they risk being annihilated.”

Count Fidelis objected.

As a cautious general, he has no interest in any military adventures.

Although this caution has made him miss many opportunities, it has also saved him from many crises.

Last time in the battlefield against the Bimon Army Corps, he relied on this cautious thinking, persevered against the enemy’s blitz, and managed to preserve most of his troops.

It is also because of this caution, that after the Bimon Cavalry retreated, he did not dare to follow with his Knight Corps, missing a chance to wipe out the Bimon Army Corps.

“Count Fidelis, your thinking is traditional.

Our enemy now are the Orcs, a herd of beasts unentitled for us to adhere to knightly rules.

Bring along the Necromancer, set up a few hidden altars on the way, and the dead Orcs will be the best offerings.

Let the undead creatures play with the Orcs slowly.

We can also set up some traps along the way.

If the enemy cavalry pursues, lure them into the traps.

As for how to implement it, I think it would be better to consult the Magician Regiment, they should have better ideas.

In the last war, we proved that equipping cavalry with miniature crossbow arrows can have unexpected effects.

We can continue to do this.

Especially when dealing with Orc Elite Cavalry, using crossbow arrows are more cost-effective.

If we harass the enemy several times along the way, the losses caused will undoubtedly hurt the enemy.”

Hudson said calmly.

In his view, the magic crossbow is the “firearm” of the Continent of Aslante.

If not for its high cost, it could even bring human civilization into the era of firearms.

No matter how high the cost, when a country spares no expense, they can achieve results.

Since Hudson became Commander in Chief, he has demanded the alchemists in the capital to produce at full capacity.

Currently, they have achieved a daily output of fifteen, as a drop in a bucket.

The production capacity is seriously inadequate, but through contributions from the nobles and existing equipment in the army, more than three thousand miniature magic crossbows have been assembled.

In a major battle of hundreds of thousands, such a small number of miniature magic crossbows is negligible.

However, in a small-scale cavalry duel, this is a powerful weapon.
