Baibasbarn's prediction hit the target as expected, and the Palchi army, who had been granted his entry permit, was jubilant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It may be an exaggeration to say that Li Tianhao's decision to fight with Frank this time was coerced by the generals, but it is undeniable that the generals' combat enthusiasm is much higher than that of Li Tianhao himself. For Li Tianhao, there was no fun in the preparation process this time, except for adding more work burden to himself, because he was not interested in this operation and entrusted the command to Senas.

Originally, in Palci, which was full of famous generals, it was impossible to count Senas as a military commander, although Senas can definitely be regarded as an excellent commander, but after Li Tianhao's combat history, the combat operation under the full responsibility of Senas has never appeared except for the attack on Port Portsmo. In the face of such mature and steady military operators as Li Tianhao, Wei Song, Brooks, and Gurnas, the brilliance of Senas in command was much dimmed. But this time the situation is different, Li Tianhao is busy with government affairs, and Tia is pregnant again, which makes him reluctant to stay away from the capital; Wei Song was originally opposed to this dispatch, and his affairs were busier than Li Tianhao's, so of course he would not go; Secretary of War Brooks, who was in charge of rear coordination, did not rush to the troubled waters; The chief general, Ghernas, was unable to travel because of his advanced age and the recurrence of old injuries over the years. Of course, there are also military masters like Muller, Hector, Elda and Tatar in the Palchi military world, but these people are either not as qualified as Senas, or they are low-key and calm, and there is no one to compete for the position of commander in front of Senas, who likes to cause trouble, so Senas has become the only suitable candidate.

The entry permit for Baibasbahn was delivered to Senas, and it was like releasing a demon who had been imprisoned for 10,000 years back into the world. Senas immediately ordered his men to take action - in fact the Palci side had already prepared for everything, and all that was needed was this official document.

At present, the number of troops assembled in Palchi is 150,000, including the First Fleet led by Congille and 40,000 horses ready to land on Frank mainland, so in fact, there are 110,000 troops in the hands of Senas gathered in the border area, although there is a gap between the number and the army of Paz and Frank, but these troops are veterans of countless wars, and the generals who lead these armies include almost all the middle and high-ranking generals in Palci.

The first force sent by Senas was a cavalry force of 30,000 led by Müller, Chikelda, and Alam. These 30,000 cavalry were undoubtedly Parci's most powerful mobile combat force, and the order given to them by Senas was to launch a full-scale attack on the Frankish army from behind, and not to fight the enemy easily until the main force arrived, unless there was an opportunity to quickly annihilate one of them. The second group consisted of 40,000 elite infantry led by Hector, Agobar, Wodd, and Zukar, including the elite infantry of Palchi and the famous Nubian mercenaries, and the second team was tasked with attacking the southern line of the Frankish army from the front. And Senas himself took his precious apprentice Eglius, as well as the two generals Zaran and Dara, plus 30,000 mixed regiments, and went straight to the northwest, and they were responsible for cutting off the way for the Frank army to retreat into the country. The mixed army included a large number of archers and 4,000 crossbowmen, as well as 1,500 musketeers, Parci's greatest secret weapon.

On the surface, Senas's arrangement made the already insufficient force even more dispersed, but in fact it was a deliberate arrangement. Senas knew very well that the main enemy of the Frankish army was the Paz army, and at this time he encountered his own flank attack, even if his army was insufficient, it was impossible for the other party to turn around and fight him, because then he would be flanked by the Paz army. Since it is impossible for the enemy's main force to engage him, it is conceivable that the most effective means of the other side is to adopt a defensive posture to slow down his own pace. That's why he first sent Muller's cavalry to attack the enemy, and Senas, who was born in Pas, knew very well the combat ability of the cavalry trained by Muller, and they would definitely be able to beat the enemy army into a daze, and while the enemy army was busy dealing with this elusive cavalry unit, Hector's frontal attack would inevitably give the enemy a head-on blow. In this way, the southern defense line of the Frankish army will definitely be on the verge of collapse, then the Frankish army will be in the disadvantageous situation of being caught between Paz and Palch, as long as the commander-in-chief of the other side is still in his right mind, then he will inevitably choose to retreat.

Retreat has always been the most difficult military operation, and with the pursuit of the Paz army, coupled with the constant harassment of Müller's cavalry, the Frankish army will be exhausted, and at this time they will encounter the interception of the archers led by themselves, and it is conceivable that the Palci army can kill and wound a large number of Frankish troops without much effort. The so-called doing more with less is the overall goal of Senas's operation.

The actual combat operation went more smoothly than Senas had imagined, because Deguzorf did not expect Basbar to make such a move. For more than a month, the Palchi army had not set foot on the land of Paz to fight him, and he believed that it was because Baibasbahn had refused Palchi's request to enter the country, so he had insufficient troops to support the front line of the battle with the Paz army. At this time, Muller's cavalry attacked with thunder, not to mention that the Frank army that left the stronghold did not have the strength to fight against the powerful cavalry troops, even the Frankish army entrenched in the stronghold was difficult to resist such a fierce attack, and the strong psychological pressure made them make the most stupid choice, that is, to escape, and the soldiers who left the stronghold became excellent food for the Muller cavalry. In just two days, Mueller was beheaded, and the Frankish line was turned upside down.

At this time, they were again attacked by Hector's infantry group. If the attack of Müller's cavalry was only a jab attack, then the Hector army, which was good at siege warfare, was undoubtedly the decisive punch. In the face of the formidable Palci army, the Frankish army's defensive line collapsed almost entirely.

In a matter of days, the news of the defeat in the south reached Dguzolf like snowflakes, and for a few days he had been suffering from the onslaught of Basbahn, and he had barely had time to hear the news of the defeat. What's more, there are even bigger reports of defeat coming from his side, that is, the Paz Rangers led by Billiudas are constantly biting at the weak links of the Frank army, constantly causing the bleeding of the Frank army. During this period, instead of receiving few reinforcements from subsequent troops, Deguzorf left his flanks almost completely exposed to the Palci army. Even if Dguzolf had great ability, he could not save this situation at this moment.

Withdrawal! Troops must be withdrawn. Dguzolf made this bitter decision in his heart.
