Chapter 138 VII A Huge Expeditionary Force
Flying dust is only a precursor to a sandstorm for ordinary people, but a properly trained soldier can tell which one is a real sandstorm and which one is a sign that a large infantry group is driving and raising dust. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dust of the moment clearly belonged to the latter, and in the vast expanse of land, countless Sindra soldiers were marching in orderly steps towards the northern frontier.
Standing on the top of the hill and watching the dust advance slowly, he knew that this army was only the smallest of the five Sindra armies, but it was also a full army of 70,000, which was enough to level the insignificant defensive strongholds on the border of Paz.
And this army of 70,000 is really just a decoy, and its goal is only to convince everyone that Sindra's goal is to cut off the economic lifeblood of the Paz Empire, the largest trade route on the continent. Sindra's real target is Dadaran, the acting lord of the Batana Lord.
In order to sweep away the rebellion in the country, the main forces of the Paz Empire are almost all deployed on the Western Front, and the area bordering Sindra has only some negligible military forces. In contrast, the military power of the Batana Lords is more threatening, so whether or not they can defeat the acting lord of Bataana, Dadaran, and his army will be directly related to whether Sindra can successfully control the trade routes.
In order to win this battle, King Traag of Sindra accepted the suggestion of Yenobianda to use 70,000 horses as bait to attract attention, while the rest of the four-way army pretended to advance separately, but in fact crossed the border and attacked the Badana territory, so as to ensure that the military facilities on the border of Paz were not used by Dadaran, so as to use the absolute numerical superiority to defeat Dadaran in the field.
This is not the whole of Sindra's strategy, because Yenobi Andalu knows that this method can hide from others, but it can't hide from the battlefield veteran Dadaran, he may preemptively take the initiative to send troops to resist Sindra's army, then it is foreseeable that the two sides may form a stalemate, and what he needs is this stalemate.
Once the two sides are evenly matched, Dadaran will take a dangerous move to find a way to defeat Sindra's army in one fell swoop, and judging from his previous use of troops, Dadaran will inevitably take the lead to boost morale. This is the opportunity he was waiting for, and it was a perfect time to wipe out the person of Dadaran in one fell swoop.
Of course, Dadaran, who once fought in Sindra, has long been widely rumored about his martial prowess, and it is not an easy matter to take him down. In order to ensure the success of the operation, Yenobianda suggested to Traag the formation of a special force, the commander of which was also compulsory by Prince Bordan, and with his national infantry regiment as the backbone, and the most skilled fighters from the other units were drawn to supplement it, forming a force of about 5,000 men. Now the force was marching in secret, always following the main force of Sindra, and one of the immediate tasks of Yenobianda Road was to reconnoiter this force and provide the necessary information.
Nobiandalo knew that he was doing so at a risk, for his master, Nisinis, had only instigated a war between Sindra and Paz, and had clearly done so. However, Nobiandrou wanted to do better, and if Dadaran was killed, the Badana army would be leaderless, so that the Sindra army could defeat them with great strength, and then control the trade routes, and even march west to the city of Yekbada.
Things were going well, and Nobianda Road could even imagine Darland's head being picked at the tip of a gun. But at this time, a chill suddenly passed through the heart of Yenobi Andalu.
"It's weird, am I being too sensitive?" Also Nobi Andaru muttered to himself. As he spoke, he took out a black orb from under his gray robes, rubbed it on it a few times, and then lowered his head and stared at the orb carefully.
After about ten seconds, Yenobiandalu's brows twisted together, which made his already pale face as pale as a dead man even more eerie: "Qiuy?! How is this possible? Isn't he supposed to go back to Arubania? How could it be around here? Damn, this guy actually got Abicheril's body first! ”
In an instant, a spiritual light flashed into Yenobiandalu's brain, and he sneered a few times as if he understood something, and then put the black orb back into his robe: "It seems that some people plan to snatch my credit and flatter the Venerable Master." It's ridiculous, wouldn't the Venerable Master know about your despicable tricks, Qiuy? Since you made a move, don't blame the ruthlessness of being a junior and younger brother. ”
With that, Yenobianda walked down the hill and whistled in all directions, and immediately four masked samurai jumped out.
"What do you command?"
"I've just found people who are a threat to our operation, we need to get rid of them before they do anything bad, you four go back immediately, and come back with twenty good men before dark!"
"Yes, my lord!" The four samurai saluted and immediately ran down the mountain.
He picked a relatively flat stone and sat down, untied the kettle from his waist, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and then began to arrange the two daggers he was carrying. These two daggers are about an inch longer than ordinary daggers, but they are narrower in width, and the blue light that glows from their blades shows that they are two poisoned weapons, and their toughness and sharpness are the best choice.
"Senior Brother Qiuy, it seems that your arrogance has not been changed, do you think I am still acting alone like before?" Yenobi Andaru said to himself: "This time you sent it to the door yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
After saying that, Nobianda Lu inserted the two daggers into the sheath, but judging from his methods, it was clear that he had inserted them into someone's flesh in his mind.
