Chapter 1456 Regain Lost Ground

The whole thing went quite smoothly, and several veterans in the army were indeed capable people.

And after the outstanding performance before, Hussein Ibnah basically followed their opinions to formulate tactics, which also made the veterans feel respected and gathered a wave of hearts invisibly. .

In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity brought to them by this cold winter, the Caliphate army, which is very familiar with the terrain, led by several veteran generals, can be said to approach the target city with ease.

Following the meaning of the veterans, this wave, Hussein Ibn did not choose to take the lead in the charge as usual, but sat in the rear.

After all, he is already the emperor now. Taking the lead in the charge can certainly boost the morale of the army, but on the other hand, the safety of His Majesty the emperor must also be taken into consideration, and it is safer to stay behind.

This can be said to have greatly relieved Hussein Ibn at the time, and at the same time secretly lamented the power of their Majesty and the staff to control the whole plan. The thoughts and styles of several veterans in the Caliphate army are almost the same. Exactly what they expected.

After simply confirming the entire offensive plan, under the leadership of several veterans, the Caliphate army quickly overwhelmed the situation.

Unlike humans, the orc army is small in number, and under this premise, in order to maintain the occupation and rule of a whole piece of Caliphate territory, Raymond Socie had to disperse his limited forces.

According to the intelligence information returned by the spies of the Mirror Division, this border fortress happened to be the one with the least garrisoned troops on the border, and the internal troops were only about 3,000.

Although the combat effectiveness of orc soldiers far exceeds that of human soldiers, the numerical advantage cannot be ignored. You must know that the Caliphate army now has nearly 50,000 troops!

Several veterans who were familiar with the terrain first scattered 40,000 of them on both sides of the battlefield and ambushed them.

Then one of them will lead 10,000 troops to attack.

When the orc troops on the opposite side looked at this number of people, they naturally did not have much scruples in their hearts, and went directly out of the city to meet them.

In their opinion, Caliphate has long been a group of defeated soldiers, and they can just fight.

Between advancing and retreating, the orc troops that came out were easily led away by the 10,000 Caliph soldiers. Then, the signal flare sounded, and the 40,000 troops ambushing on both sides suddenly rushed out, encircling them on three sides. The suspense of this battle will be completely killed directly.

The gap between the strength of the enemy and us is there, even the orc soldiers can't stand the suppression of these ten times the strength!

Although even among the frontier fortresses, this is just a small fortress with a remote location and a small scale, but it is of great significance as the first piece of lost land that their Caliphate army successfully recaptured.

The army was stationed, and the Caliphate army, which had won the first battle, had a high morale. After this wave, it was almost going to break through the 90-point mark and reach the level of 'morale like a rainbow'.

There is no doubt that this is a good sign. The morale has been raised to this level, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been significantly improved.

The only regrettable thing is probably the resource reserves in this fortress.

In addition to a considerable amount of arms and ammunition reserves, the reserves of food are too small.

This made several veterans clearly realize that the orc army was in a food crisis. Although Hussein Ibn already knew about this, at this time, he still had to deal with it and proposed at the same time. The proposal to pursue the victory and take back a few cities behind in one go.

This proposal was undoubtedly unanimously approved.

After all, they can only regain their productivity by taking back a city, gaining population resources and factory facilities.

In the current situation, no matter how big or small, it is necessary to first recapture a few cities and lay the foundation for restoring the country.

After this proposal was passed, before the enemy orc army could react, Hussein Ibn and several veteran generals under his command launched a wave of rapid marches overnight with their army of the Great Food.

According to common sense, the orc troops in this frontier fortress are only in the early 3000s, so the garrison troops in the rear cities will only be less.

And this is indeed the case, Hussein Ibn can almost be said to have easily won the first border city.

Under the rule of the orc army, the people of the Caliphate, whose life was almost miserable, naturally welcomed the return of the Caliphate army with both hands.

After entering the city, the tragic situation in the city almost exceeded Hussein Ibn's expectations.

The orc army that captured this place really had no intention of taking good care of this city. For a few months after the winter, they unilaterally continued to plunder food from the people.

But in fact, Raymond Socie didn't want to do this either. Without knowing when this full-scale war will be fought, out of long-term considerations, he should take good care of the city he captured, and then he and these humans will fight for He provides productivity, which is certainly good.

The problem is that he has no choice now, his army of orcs is already in a food crisis.

The profiteer has never been able to buy food. Now he can't even feed his soldiers. Who has the spare time to manage the development of the city?

In this way, this is what is now the tragic situation.

So far, in this entire food empire, it is unknown how many food cannibals starved to death on the streets.

Looking at the yellow-faced and skinny Dashi people and the corpses lying on the streets, the Dashi soldiers and veterans who entered the city had expressions of grief and indignation on their faces.

Taking a deep breath, Hussein Ibn ordered the soldiers to clean up the corpses at the first time in order to avoid a disease in the city.

At the same time, I checked the granary in the city, but there was still some food in stock, but they were basically stolen by those orc soldiers from the people of Dashi.

Originally, Hussein Ibn planned to order people to distribute food to help the victims, but he was stopped by the personal soldiers beside him with a look.

Even with the grain stored in the granary, the grain they currently have is relatively limited.

If you want to distribute food and help the victims, it is simply impossible. If you do this, you will only make your army hungry.

Around this matter, after discussing with several veterans for a while, they also expressed their agreement with a heavy face.

At the same time, a conscription notice was issued in the city, and several important production factories in the city were given priority to resume work, recruit workers, and check whether there was any farmland available for cultivation in the city.

If there is, then for the long-term consideration, a group of farmers must be recruited and reorganized.

This job, on the premise of giving food as a reward, is enough to make countless citizens flock to it.
