Chapter 252 Refugees
To be honest, he doesn't have a good way of doing this kind of trick. The main soldiers of the city are dwarves and kobolds, and the military system is also dominated by dwarves. Except for the dwarf lords and heroes who fight with krypton gold rune weapons, most of the dwarf regular troops face the flying units by fighting hard and fighting, arming their positions like hedgehogs, and [-]% of the marching state encounters the air force. at a disadvantage.

As a race that has lived underground or in fortresses for a long time, they don't even have many basic cavalry, because there is no use for them, let alone the air force.

Tang Zhao himself has nothing to do with these flying creatures. He doesn't have wings, and his attack range is limited. The opponent can just bypass Tang Zhao and don't need to worry about him.

I have made preparations before, and I went to Oran to find a way to get some horse vultures to breed, but this kind of precious animal is not used in the war of attrition, and will have a greater role in the future. Tang Zhao and others They are not willing to put these creatures into the battle at this stage.

In short, the current situation is that the air force is unable to hit the air force. Even if they consume a lot of food, grass, and supplies, it is difficult to search for hundreds of kilometers to find the other party's supply points. However, the commercial roads and transport teams in the forest are very difficult. It's easy to find, the forest path is very conspicuous from the sky, and the farmland and buildings on the surface of Karak Solma are also easy to find. Throwing stones from the sky can cause a lot of trouble.

There is no need to fight with those people. Tang Zhao is different from the dwarves who are on the edge of their horns. He quickly issued a new order: the residents on the surface should retreat to the ground as much as possible, and the transport business travel between the forests should reduce the frequency of activities.

The importance of this trade route may not be as high as hobgoblins imagined. The population of the entire city is about one-eighth that of Luford. Judging from some information obtained by Tang Zhao, the city of Karak Solma The trade volume of Oran is about one-third of Luford's, which is indeed not a small figure, but it is not so important that Oran's trade can still operate.

The air forces of hobgoblins and orcs will also harass the west of Oran and places with weak air power like them, and they will be helpless in the face of the heavily defended east, not to mention that their main force will also have to deal with the advancing Oran people. Some people were also assigned to attack and harass.

This situation is a bit troublesome now, but it is not an irreparable bad situation, and it will pass after a little patience.

The impact is mainly limited to the trade between several other forces, and it does not have a great impact on Tang Zhao themselves. They had expected similar situations before, so they spent time digging out a long enough tunnel in advance to transfer population and few supplies.

It is definitely not enough for business, but it is still more than enough to transfer the ranger team of dozens of people, or the basic supplies such as arrows and grains.

After a period of smooth advancement, the Oran people also fell into a stalemate. Seriously speaking, the situation they encountered was similar to the situation encountered by the hobgoblins in Karak Solmar and the elves - on the one hand, they did not adapt to the local environment , Many soldiers have symptoms of acclimatization. On the other hand, it is difficult to locate and chase the enemy team. The wasteland is too wide to be easily shuttled by manpower. Finally, there are logistical problems that plague all armies. For various reasons, supply transportation Slow, propulsion and movement speed had to be reduced accordingly.

Generally speaking, it is still in the pointless attrition stage. The only thing worth mentioning is that the dwarves have now reached the front line and fought with the first few orcs.

Tang Zhao had to admit that he might have underestimated the determination of the dwarves. In addition to a large number of regular soldiers, there were also an unknown number of elite combat power. Coupled with their endurance and endurance that surpassed humans, they made progress very quickly. , rushed along the coastline for dozens of kilometers, and finally had to stop temporarily because of the risk of a lone army going deep.

Some of the orcs or hobgoblins seem to have seen through the intentions of the dwarves this time, or they are very clear that the dwarves are not capable of expanding their territory so far away from the mainland, so they naturally did not allocate too much attention to them. After the coastal defense line was breached, there was only symbolic resistance, and the main energy was still concentrated on the human side.

The human army that Tina was following had just carried out a fairly successful military adventure. Before the opponent's forces had gathered, they took down several military strongholds near the edge of the swamp, and used the supplies stored there , Success temporarily took root there.

The orcs and hobgoblins who rushed over wanted to encircle them with heavy troops, but the distance between these strongholds and the front line was only tens of kilometers, and the distance was still shortening. There are only a few people left to keep an eye on the human troops passing through, and focus on the front line.

While Tang Zhao and a group of military commanders were discussing the frontline battle situation in front of the sand table, the rangers heard news from the outskirts of the forest, but this time it came from the human side: a large number of human refugees ran to the edge of the forest , asking for asylum.

Since these human beings are at risk of being attacked by hostile creatures in the sky at any time, the rangers took it upon themselves to put them in some secondary trading supply points in the forest. Tang Zhao didn't say anything about it. Human life is important after all, and he also Build prestige without strict rules and punishments.

Along with the news came an old man who claimed to be a messenger chosen by the human beings. He tremblingly explained the general situation to Tang Zhao and others.

After confirming that it was useless to continue to spend time with Karak Solmar, the hobgoblins quickly turned their attention to the humans. They released a large number of goblin tribes from the Everlook Mountains and rushed to the various small human settlements at the foot of the mountain.

Even though many settlements have been basically prepared because of the previous wars, they have the means to resist the scattered goblins, but they cannot resist the hobgoblin army that followed.

A large number of villages and many neglected towns were breached in a short period of time, and most of the resulting refugees fled to Luford, the largest and safest nearby city with legions stationed. However, a few chose to go to the Tang dynasty due to factors such as distance. Run here, and arrived here smoothly.

Refugees are undoubtedly an unstable factor, but in the face of absolute force, it is easy to say.

[Are our food reserves enough?The amount of wheat and elf bread was consumed more than expected due to the rangers' recent high-intensity battles, but the kobolds have worked hard to open up a large mushroom farm, and the relevant reserves are still optimistic. 】

Cynthia, the peak spirit, was the first to speak. They were the most kind-hearted group, and they couldn't bear to see those refugees being turned away.
