Chapter 368: The battle begins On 8 October, Flower's orc army breached the sixth city, and his army had swelled to two million, and the number of beast dragons had reached a terrifying figure of twenty thousand.
After the mighty army ransacked the sixth orc city, it finally met the vanguard of the coalition formed by the orc city lords the next day after the opening, and this time the battle between the orcs to divide or unify is about to be determined by strength.
On October 10th, the alliance of three million orc army orc city lords and two million beastmaster legions spread out in formation from afar, and from the sky, the orcs on the ground were like ant tides, crowding hundreds of square kilometers of land.
A battle of this magnitude has never happened in the history of this world, and almost everyone has a hard time with how to start a war and how to start a war.
The Orc City Lord Coalition and the Beastmaster Legion were equal in strength at the moment, so simply overwhelming the people was probably not enough to give one of them the victory they wanted.
The two orc armies almost unanimously began to dig in the grasslands to build a city, and they seemed intent on engaging in a few tentative battles before deciding how to defeat their opponents.
Because after Flower broke through the third city, the orc city lords who noticed that Flower's army was not weak but strong began to gather strength, and then several orc cities that were broken by Flower did not actually hurt the strength of the lords, as early as after being notified, the orc city lords personally led the most elite forces in the city to the meeting place, for them, this is the only way to preserve their strength when dealing with Flor's strategy.
It is precisely because of this that at this moment, the strength of the three million troops on the side of the orc city lord is probably higher than that of Flower's beastmaster legion, which makes Flower, who was planning to fight quickly, have to give up the previous idea of dispersing the opponent with a quick attack.
Previously, when Flower's strength swelled to a level that a single city lord could not match in a short period of time, as long as the orc city lords were not fools, they could only resist the attack of the beastmaster legion by quickly huddling together, and the small contradictions that Zhao Yannian deliberately created for the orc cities became worthless when it came to life and death, so the orc city lords formed an alliance at the moment that humans wanted, and finally reached a situation that Zhao Yannian wanted to see.
And at that time, the human side's information control war on the orc plateau could also be said to be a complete success.
At the beginning of the war, the first thing the forces under the command of Zhao Yannian did was to help Flower, who was able to attack three orc cities before being noticed by other city lords, in addition to the swiftness and courage of Flower's army itself, a large part of the achievements were due to Zhao Yannian's control of those orc cities that were breached.
Lacking sufficient strength to restrain the deserters and the people of the breached city, Flower had little hope of hiding his strategic intentions, and the reason why he was able to storm the third orc city without any interference was because the human air force had been behind him to clear the rout and control the citizens of the orc city to prevent them from fleeing to other cities.
It was difficult for the orc city under the control of the human army to get the news out, so by the time the other orc city lords got enough information to start uniting, Flower's power had already begun to have a snowball effect.
At that time, Zhao Yannian also began to relax his control over the perimeter of Flower's army, in fact, the significance of Zhao Yannian's arrangement was to a large extent to help Flower hide his whereabouts, not to control Flower's communications.
As Flower began to discover the traces of humans, Zhao Yannian had to gradually relax his control over the periphery of Flower's army, so that in Flower's eyes, the spoilers on the human side should retreat because of lack of strength, and he would also put his goal back on unifying the orc kingdom.
At this time, Zhao Yannian's task was not to continue to strengthen the strength of the Beastmaster Legion, but to balance the strength of the two sides was what he needed to do most.
Therefore, the information isolation zone established in the sky above the Beast Plateau began to gradually open, and the contact between the orc city lords also began to increase, of course, the news that those orc cities were occupied by humans was still impossible.
The purpose of this is to allow the orc lords to concentrate on waging a grand war against Flower.
Now, almost all the combat power among the orcs has been concentrated on this grassland, and their battle is unstoppable, at this moment Zhao Yannian's plan can almost be said to have succeeded, but how to obtain the maximum benefits depends on the control of details in the process of battle.
For wars of more than a million levels, neither Flower nor the orc city lords are inexperienced, and this kind of battle, just how to control their own army, is already a huge problem.
Flor, who has always used surprise warfare as a means of surprise warfare, has almost zero experience in large-scale warfare, and for the first time to control such a huge army, there are already countless problems just by setting up the formation.
In the traditional battle of two million troops, Flower must divide his team into more than twenty parts, and then hand over to his subordinates to lead them separately, because the orcs do not have a means of heralding other than war drums and horns, so in order to convey orders, Flower can only rely on those orc cavalry riding on the wolf, the running back and forth of the orc cavalry, and the time for tens of thousands of troops who lack run-in to react to orders, is like playing an online game with a high delay that makes people desperate, It takes a long time for the character to start making moves after the order is given, and by that time the situation on the battlefield has probably changed several times.
This kind of brain-intensive work made Flower's head hurt even more, and his soul injury was not healed, and at this moment he was just rushing in the dark, entrusting his future to luck.
But fortunately, the situation on the other side is not much better than him, although the orc city lord has formed a coalition army, but before the war starts, this coalition is already on the verge of splitting.
On the opposite side of the Beastmaster Legion, the orc army led by the ten orc city lords also fell into a chaotic situation at this moment, although the orc city lord had agreed to form an alliance, but among the ten city lords, none of them could assume the responsibility of leadership.
The argument between the ten lords had not stopped since the beginning of the alliance, and in order to satisfy all the lords, and then unify their forces against the aggressive orc general on the opposite side, they finally found a method that they were not very willing to use.
The essence of this method is that the minority obeys the majority, and the reason why the city lords hated this method is that this method is the so-called voting system that Flower preached before.
In order to unite the orcs again, Flower established a council hall in the new Beastmaster City, and sent an invitation to all orc city lords, the newly established orc council will decide the fate of the future orcs by voting, which is a reasonable and acceptable method for the orcs who have just lost their gods and kings and are full of distrust of the outside world, but at that time, the orc city lords refused to participate in the council because they were unwilling to recognize Flower as the heir of the beastmaster's power, Therefore, the orc council and the so-called voting system were disgusted by the orc city lords.
The orc city lord finally had to use his method to unite after rejecting the orc general's union, which was obviously a wonderful irony for the city lords.
However, these city lords, who had just learned to raise their hands and were still a little clumsy, did not realize how stupid their actions at the moment were for a war.
A system in which the minority obeys the majority means that the interests of the majority are protected, and the word protected is definitely not a word that should come up in a war that requires sacrifice and bloodshed.
The castle lords who tried to solve the problem by voting, although they found a solution that everyone could accept, but the castle lords, who were sacrificed as a minority in the distribution of the order of battle in the war, began to firmly refuse to carry out the plan obtained by voting.
The strength of the city lords is comparable, even the majority faction cannot use force to subdue the other party at this critical moment, and at this moment the big war is imminent, in the case of endless arguments but finally unable to decide the order, the orc city lords have no choice but to divide the battlefield into ten parts.
Each of the ten city lords held a certain position, and then life and death were the final plan.
In this way, the two sides stumbled and finally settled the cumbersome things before the war, and the orcs scattered across the plain began to gather strength for the final battle, but these orcs did not notice that in the sky, an invisible airship was recording the orc battlefield footage, and then these images were purposefully edited and stitched together with the images of the human army.
When these transformed images are played among the humans, it has become that the human army is constantly encircling the orcs, and when the images of the orcs being killed and running away are played, there will always be a tsunami of cheers among the viewers.
The final battle related to the fate of the orcs is about to begin, and for humans, the ultimate goal of the integration plan is about to be achieved, and Zhao Yannian, who is in the sky, is enjoying the last leisure time before the battle, because after this battle, he is afraid that he will be busy for a long time before he can get a vacation again.
