Erne Frontier, Camp Talon.

"General, according to the news from the spies inside the city and the sentinels outside the city, there are at least three or four hundred thousand Ernese in the Tenio Fortress, and it is impossible for us to capture it with the current 400,000 people, so let's temporarily withdraw from the Erne border. ", his men admonished Srock.

"No, I always feel that something is wrong, this is not like the way Eliel has always played, how could he not care about the safety of the other four fortresses in order to deal with us?", the more Srock thought about it, the more wrong he felt, how could he feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a specific reason.

"But all the intelligence indicates that the Ernians do have so many troops, and that's true. Seeing that Srock still seemed to be suspicious of something, his intelligence officer hurriedly said.

"Seeing is not necessarily true, and sometimes intelligence can be faked. Srock unconsciously said such a sentence, and suddenly he seemed to think of something.

He remembers that when he was young, he used to be taught by General Caesar, the most famous military advisor of the Tarén, who was a famous figure in the Tarén. If it weren't for Slok's father's kindness to Caesar in his early years, Slok would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with such a figure.

I remember one time, Slok asked Caesar what was the secret of his invincibility for so many years, Caesar thought for a while, and then said something like this.

"Don't care what you see on the battlefield, because that's probably what the enemy wants you to see. You have to learn to think from the enemy's point of view, and you have to think about what you're doing it for, and why you're doing it. ”

After speaking, it seemed that Srock did not understand what he meant, and Caesar continued.

"It's not like I haven't met opponents who are more skilled than me in my many years of fighting, but in the end, none of them were able to beat me, you know why?

Whenever I can't see through the other person's layout, I imagine a best-case scenario for me and a worst-case scenario, and then look at that one and that one from the opposite perspective to be closer to the other person's move. ”

After saying that, Caesar was silent, and left Srock alone to understand the truth.

At that time, Srock did not expect that Caesar's words would one day be put into practice on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Srock began to use this thought to figure out Elier's thoughts.

"From the other side's point of view, what would I do if I were Elier. If I really have raised 400,000 troops from the other four city-states, then why would I attack at night?

Why did he retreat to the city-state of Teneo immediately after the night attack, and plant the flags of the other four fortresses on the walls, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had so many people.

If I only have 100,000 horses, but I want them to think that I have 400,000 troops, I have to do something, such as paralyze the other side's intelligence system, then all of the above actions can be explained. ”

At this point, Srock was eighty percent sure that Elier didn't have that many troops, and everything was just a false momentum.

But the usual cautious thinking still made Srock resist the rush to attack Teneo immediately, he still had to do something, otherwise he would still not be at ease.

"Come, send a message to the generals of the other four nations, and tell them to attack the remaining four fortresses of Erne now, and I want to see if they have really sent troops to the aid of the Tenio fortress. Slok immediately conveyed the order.

It wasn't until the messenger had left that Srock breathed a sigh of relief.

"Elaire, this time I'd like to see how you still mess with me, and when the news comes in a few days, it will be the day when Tenio City is broken!" Slok looked in the direction of Tenio in the distance, his expression becoming more and more determined.

It's just that Srock didn't expect that the second conspiracy planned by Elier was already quietly approaching him.

Many times, it is okay to be cautious on the battlefield, but excessive caution is indecision, which can delay the fighter. Of course, Srock will soon realize this.

Erne Frontier, Tenio Fortress.

"Have you made any inquiries about where the Taron army is?" Elaire asked casually, looking at one of the sentries below.

"It has been investigated clearly, Tarun's army is located in the middle of the river at the moment, probably the section where the water begins to fork. ", the sentry replied in detail.

Eliaire looked at the Erne topographic map on the wall, and he had an unobstructed view of the surrounding environment of the water.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who has received a special military theory. Looking at the map, Eliaire couldn't help but admire.

The map shows that this location is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is basically difficult for a large number of soldiers to pass through it in a short period of time with manpower.

Even the only bridge was on the back of the Taron army, and Erne's army would have to cross the entire Taron army in order to capture it.

At this time, Srock only needs to design and set up a number of checkpoints in the direction of the Tenio Fortress to form a dense defensive zone, and Eliel will have to pay a huge price even if he can break through the defensive line.

Where is this to prevent hundreds of thousands of troops, in General Elier's opinion, with such a geographical advantage, even if a million troops attack, Slok can still calmly retreat.

After all, once the situation is unfavorable, he can immediately evacuate to the other side of the river, and then use the narrow bridge deck to take advantage of the pass.

The more Eliel looked at it, the more he felt that Srock was shrewd, and he could hardly believe that this could be done by a young general in his thirties.

At least, when it comes to steady and steady play, General Elier is indeed ashamed of himself.

"It's a pity, this time it's a battle in Erne, and you don't know a lot of geographical details. General Elier shook his head and sighed.

Many times, the battlefield is ever-changing, and the so-called excellent geographical location becomes the last desperate situation that buries you in another situation.

Just as in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Xun burned the 800-mile company camp and defeated the Shu Kingdom, from the moment Srock stationed the camp here, his defeat was already doomed.

This time, however, General Elier used not a fire meter, but a water meter.

"Are you all ready?", General Elier asked

"General, everything is ready. ", replied his general.

It's summer, and it's time for the tide to rise. In previous years, the entire basin would be flooded, and it was not until King Gordon II built a number of dikes here in recent years that the problem of flooding was fundamentally solved.

Because the dikes have been built in recent years, it is impossible for Slok in Tarun to know about the existence of these dikes, so there is no way to prevent them.

And General Elier was going to use these dikes this time, as long as his army could open the dikes upstream of the water, and when the flood poured down, it would be the day of the defeat of the Tarun army.

"Accept this gift I have prepared for you, I think you should have grown a lot after this failure, of course, all this is provided that you are still alive. Looking at the tumbling torrent pouring down, General Elier thought unconsciously.
