Chapter 590 (2/2)
Millions of troops.
It sounds like a simple number, but when it's really put together, it's absolutely frightening.
Especially the orcs are here.
It represents not only millions of Odin orcs, but also millions of horses.
In the vast Odin prairie, it is impossible to fight without horses. Even those prisoners of war and slaves can also be assigned a substitute horse, let alone those elite Odin Orc soldiers, who have two horses or even multiple horses. It is normal that they are very aware of the importance of war horses, so every time they attack a city or territory, the horses will become the focus of their search One of Luo's supplies.
It's normal to have an army of millions of Odin orcs and more than double the number of horses.
Moreover, the number of cattle and sheep should be increased by ten times over the base of troops. Only by this base of cattle can we barely support the food and drink consumption of this huge army.
Even with such a large herd, the soldiers of the Western Odin Empire still attacked frequently, because if they sat here and did not move, they would sit on the mountains and eat the mountains. Not only did people not have to eat, but also the livestock had already chewed the land, including the withered grass under the snow, which were arched out and chewed by the strong grassland cattle.
If you look down from the sky, the vast barracks of the Western Odin Empire, like a multi legged monster, writhing in the heart of the balsin prairie.
Every five minutes, an Odin Orc cavalry will rush out of any part of the monster, or dozens of people, or hundreds of people, or thousands of people, occasionally tens of thousands of people, roaring into the depths of the balsin prairie.
They know what they are going to do without asking.
There's only one thing they can do here - hunting.
This time, they were neither wolves nor sheep nor bison or horses. These wild creatures had a very keen sense of smell. They ran all over the place before the arrival of the Western Odin empire. They were digested and returned to nature.
There was only one target worth hunting for in the Western Odin Empire - tribes of the East Odin empire with the same faces and common ancestors as them.
In the same way, every five or six minutes, a cavalry will come back roaring back, some with full load, some with empty hands, and some even beat the enemy at a loss.
In the face of life and death, the tribes of the East Odin empire will not be captured at all. Many brave people and tribes will choose to earn a net, which will break the teeth of many soldiers of the Western Odin Empire who come to hunt.
It's just that they can escape once, but they can't escape the second or the third time If we can't wipe out all the hunting soldiers of the Western Odin Empire, it won't be long before they will lead more powerful encirclement and suppression troops, until there is no residue left for them to gnaw at - no residue in the real sense.
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were killed on the spot as the fodder for the grass and trees in the balsin prairie in the coming year.
The valuable women and children, strong and strong, were relegated to slavery. They not only need to serve them, but also satisfy their personal desires.The same is true for livestock. If they can survive this winter, they will go back to the barracks. If they are too thin, they will be slaughtered directly, or stewed for meat, or made into military dried meat.
As for the bloody scenes formed by the massacre, their appetite was not affected at all.
These orcs who still choose to attack when there is no war are the best among the elite.
Compared with the primitive military reward system, the braver the soldiers and the warriors, the more the spoils and rewards they got, the more strategic materials they collected around them, the more herdsmen and prisoners of war and slaves they possessed, and the greater their rights.
At that time, it would be easier to obtain more and greater military achievements, more trophies and rewards, until they were recognized by their supreme ruler and granted him a piece of grassland. Then a young Orc tribe of Odin appeared.
For the Odin orcs, war was a shuffle of rights.
The decadent, old and weak, were eliminated in the war, or turned into dung, or became stepping stones for the rise of others.
The brave and powerful rise in the war and become new warriors and rulers.
So many Odin orcs are happy to hear about the war, because for them, this is a great opportunity to change their lives and situations.
After the war, there will be a large number of new middle and low-level leaders and chiefs in the Western Odin empire. They are promoted by Ulan BAGI, the emperor of the Western Odin empire. Their loyalty will be far higher than that of the old ones. They will become the backbone of ulaanbari's ruling nuoyu empire.
Although ulaanbaari launched a comprehensive war against the East Odin Empire, there were many aspects of its own calculation, which had far-reaching significance, whether from the perspective of plundering the East Odin empire or from the perspective of consolidating its own rule.
In name, the Lion King court of the East Odin empire is the orthodox ruler of the Odin orcs and the master of the whole Odin prairie.
Although the tiger royal court of the Western Odin Empire has always refused to accept this point, they think it is purely the personal decision of Queen Miranda, and the lion and tiger have the same inheritance rights.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the Royal Court of the lion ruled the complete Odin empire for hundreds of years. The years have helped the Royal Court of the lion to settle this point in the heart of the orcs of Odin, just like the divine status of emperor Odin in their hearts.
In order to break this cognition and to elevate the status of the tiger king's court above the Lion King's court, Ulan bhari must tear down the lion's royal court in pieces, trample them into the mire, and tell all the Odin orcs that the Lion King's court is no longer enough to protect them, and the powerful tiger king's court is the best choice for Odin orcs.
As a matter of fact, the main purpose of Ulan BAGI's troops this time is not to unify the Odin prairie. The only purpose from the beginning to the end is to wipe out the lion clan royal court.
As long as the Royal Court of the lion clan is destroyed, he will be completely liberated from the situation of tripartite confrontation.
Even if you know the risk of being stabbed in the back by Byron alliance, it is worth it in the long run.
At that time, not only can the East Odin Empire be gradually eroded, but even if it is to attack the Byron alliance, no one will hinder him.
Another purpose is to consolidate our rule.
Although Ulan BAGI is known as a virtuous name, his succession time is too short and too young. The internal forces of the Western Odin empire are intertwined. Let alone the eight core tribes directly under the tiger royal court, he can only control three, and the remaining five are in the hands of the older generation.
They hold that they have made contributions to the king's Court of the tiger nationality and Ulan bhari, so that they will not listen to the tune or listen to the propaganda. However, they also hold themselves very high. It is very difficult to mobilize them. In many cases, there is no temptation of interest. Don't expect them to fully support themselves.
These people have been in high position for many years, and their appetite has been raised for a long time. It is very difficult for them to be completely satisfied with their appetite.
Even ulaanbaari, who thinks highly of himself, does not have the confidence to achieve this. Instead of being inspired by them, it is more direct to cultivate a group of new forces loyal to themselves through war.
