Chapter 45: The Night Attack (Part II)

"General, in fact, the spies we arranged in the other four fortresses of Erne a few days ago reported that there seemed to be some troop movements in the city, but the sentries we arranged nearby did not observe any traces of the appearance of large forces.

Therefore, we have no evidence to confirm the truth of this news, so I have not had time to report it to you, and now it seems that this news is true. ”

A general beside him said respectfully to Slok.

"What, you just told me about such important news now, what were you doing before!", Srock was obviously angry, it was a loophole in the intelligence.

Elaire sent a surprise attack from the sky, leaving the Talon army led by Slok into a very passive situation.

"General, I don't think so, although Elier is powerful, he will definitely not be able to mobilize all his forces to swallow us up so decisively, once the troops of other fortresses are transferred this time, it will lead to other countries taking advantage of it.

The loss of any fortress will lead to Ernn being extremely passive, and I think this is absolutely false momentum, this is the despicable Ernn deceiving us, and we should defend it to the end. ”

Another general next to him had a different opinion.

"Then how do you explain the momentum of Ernne's army, which is at least 300,000 men, and does not fall behind in a head-to-head confrontation with our army. ”

At this time, another general put forward his own opinion.

"Don't make any noise, no matter what his situation is, we can't confirm it in the middle of the night, so let's stay out of the way for the time being. After the order was broken between the Chinese army and the vanguard troops, the supply units in the rear quickly and temporarily withdrew to a safe place with supplies. ”

Srock gave the order in an instant, and the situation was really unclear now.

His ambition is not only to this mere Tenio Fortress, he is a man who wants to conquer the entire Miracle Continent, there is no need to gamble everything and Eliel in this kind of place.

When the retreating charge sounded in the Taron Empire's position, Elaire's hanging heart finally sank, and he knew that he had won the bet.

Even though you know that you have a high probability of betting right, it is impossible to say that you are not worried at all.

While Srock and his generals were arguing, Elier was also nervous as he sat in the camp, and every second was an ordeal for him.

For this night attack, General Elier can be described as painstaking.

He first contacted the lords of the other four fortresses and asked them to send a part of the army to leave the fortress with a big swagger.

It seemed to be coming in the direction of the Tenio Fortress, but in fact the troops sent were only quietly stationed outside the fortress, and then quietly withdrew to the city in batches at night.

This is a suspicious tactic that greatly disrupts the enemy's intelligence system.

This is also the reason why on the side of the Talen army, obviously the spies in the other four fortresses all said that they saw a large-scale army deployment, but the sentries near the Tenio fortress did not observe the large-scale army deployment.

The intelligence generals of the other side do not know the truth or falsehood of this news, and it is difficult to make the most correct decision.

At this time, even Srock would be suspicious in his heart, because the uncertainty of the intelligence system would make him instinctively doubt the intelligence system of his army.

If Srock felt that his sentinels might have made a mistake in their reconnaissance, he would have taken the most conservative approach with his suspicious nature, which was to retreat, and he would have fallen into the trap that General Elier had designed for him.

To make sure Srock was completely convinced that he had 300,000 horses, he had each cavalry carry several horses, creating the feeling that hundreds of thousands of horsemen were rushing in.

Coupled with the cover of the night, and the disruptive effect of the sneak attack on the enemy camp, the Talon army may suspect that they may be using a suspicious tactic, but they will never find any actual evidence.

Even here, General Elier was not at ease, and he specially chose the direction of the sneak attack in a canyon area, which was a narrow passage that could only accommodate a frontal confrontation of tens of thousands of troops at most.

At night, the armies of both sides looked evenly matched, and even in the case of the Talen's hasty battle, Erne's army would have a slight advantage.

If Slok resolutely refuses to withdraw and fights Elier to the death, as the army continues to be consumed, it must be Elier who flees in the end.

But Eliel was gambling that he had done everything he could to convince Srock that he had an army of equal strength to him, if only in doubt.

Fortunately, General Elier made the right bet, but is this really luck, I think if I change the general, I will definitely not be able to do it like General Elier.

"The whole army pursued, biting the enemy with the most fierce fighting. Seeing that Srock had less than 100,000 horses left, Elaire shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha, Slok, you're still so cautious, if you leave half of the men behind, I'll probably end up here, and now it seems that the results are going to expand again. The more Eliel thought about it, the happier she became, and she unconsciously laughed out loud with a pig cry.

By the time General Elier was anxious to expand his gains, Slok had already withdrawn outside the camp with his follow-up troops.

"General, what to do next, the Erne army has been biting our army. ", one of the generals asked anxiously.

"Then let them pay a little price, order the Chinese army to set up horse blockades along the way, not to let the enemy's cavalry stick to us all the time, and order the broken army to pretend to be defeated and flee to the area of the valley of the four rivers. Slok commanded calmly.

"Why, our large army is obviously withdrawing in the direction of the water, why should the broken army withdraw to the valley of the four rivers, our army does not have any troops in that place, if the Ernians continue to pursue, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. A general beside him asked puzzled.

"You'll know when you're down, as long as Ilaire isn't stupid, you won't dare to chase after her. Slok said confidently.

Since the Tarun army abandoned the camp, General Elier has been pursuing the victory, and seeing that the sky is approaching dawn, there is still no trace of the large force of the Tarun army.

At this time, Eliel saw Slok's army retreat into a valley. Standing outside the valley, General Elier hesitated for a moment.

Now there are only two possibilities for this situation, either Slok abandons the car to protect the commander and abandons the broken troops.

Either this army is a decoy set up by Slok to attract Elier to lead the army to pursue, and he himself will set up an ambush according to the terrain to wipe out Erne's army in this valley in one fell swoop.

In either case, there was no point in General Elier pursuing him.

Anyway, it is impossible to destroy the enemy's supply force by himself, and if he pursues it blindly, he will be in danger of being completely annihilated.

"Retreat!", after thinking about it, General Elier quickly made a decision.

"Slok, it seems that I still underestimate you a little, if your experience is a little richer, I am definitely not your opponent today, and the future is terrifying!", looking at the rising sun slowly rising on the hillside in the distance, General Elier felt that he was really old for the first time.
