In the barracks outside the city of Highcombe, a middle-aged man was looking at the battle map with a sad face.

The man's name was Ivger and he was forty-nine years old. The slender body, a somewhat weird melon seed face under the broad forehead, and a small goatee look like an inverted garlic. But it would be a big mistake to despise this man because of his strange appearance. He was one of the few generals in Yaqui who came from the Dils Mountains, and during his thirty years of military experience, he was particularly adept at commanding infantry groups, and was trusted by Prime Minister Usub, which is why he was chosen as the commander of the crusade.

Everier has not slackened since he was ordained, and every day he devotes himself to the proposition of how to fight the thief army. There are two reasons for this, on the one hand, His Majesty the King attaches great importance to this expedition, so the victory or defeat of this war is also related to the position of Prime Minister Usubu, as the Prime Minister's close confidant general, it is really his duty; On the other hand, because Usubu assigned Ulysses, the most senior veteran in Yaqui's country, to his command, and it was against the conventions of Yaji's army to command this respected veteran with his junior, which made Ivje have to walk on thin ice and be cautious.

Regardless of the outcome of the war, Everger knew very well what Usub's purpose was in putting Ulysses under his command - since Ulysses was not from the Prime Minister's faction, and Usub's son Tulayan had already become a general, and his upward momentum had been hindered by a group of veterans such as Ulysses, so Usub intended to hand over the most dangerous task of the war to Ulysses, and if he could use the sword of the thief army to remove this obstacle, he would be in the right hands.

Everger himself had great respect for Ulysses. But the prime minister's meaning can't be disobeyed, originally he was a fierce general. Prudence and meticulousness were all cultivated, and as for the political struggle, it was the last thing he wanted to touch. I didn't expect to receive such a difficult problem this time, so before the war began, Evger had already begun to have a headache.

In addition to this incident, there was another big thing that bothered Ivger. Yaki's fleet had to rush to the aid of the battle through five waterfalls, but the fleet's advance was delayed, and it took longer and longer, so far it had not passed through the fifth waterfall, but seeing that July was getting closer and closer, once the flood season came, then the plan to land in enemy territory would be ruined. Even if the first wave is barely put into it, that force will not be able to receive reinforcements and supplies. At present, the 100,000 army is waiting for the arrival of the navy, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is as high as 300,000 catties, not to mention other expenses. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's material allocation, I'm afraid that the 100,000 army would have fallen into starvation before the war began. All kinds of things tortured Iver every day to lose his spirit and appetite.

At this time, Ivjie's lieutenant general, Vandallu, trotted all the way: "My lord, I just received the information, the thief army has been dispatched!" ”

"What? Be clear! Iver looked up and said unhappily.

"Yes, the thief army of Dils has sent troops! From the direction of Silis City, head straight for Highcomb City. That's about fifteen thousand! ”

Ivger was stunned: Make no mistake. The thief army is going crazy, obviously there are only 15,000 people, and they actually attack themselves with 100,000 soldiers! Is this self-defeating? Or is there another plan?

Thinking of this, Everger asked, "Who is leading the thief army?" ”

Vandalu replied: "It is not clear, it is reported from the banner of the vanguard. The Pioneer Officer is Lord Gernas! ”

"Lord Gernas?" Ai Fujie knows very well that this former wingman who is only one year younger than himself, if he is the vanguard, then the commander-in-chief is likely to be Li Tianhao himself.

After some thought, Everger said, "You go and pass on my orders." Ordered Karui to lead Azmi, Toto. Culles led 40,000 men to reinforce Silis in the direction of Cialis. Find out who the enemy commander is and report the battle situation at any time. ”

"Yes!" Vandalu said yes and turned to leave.

After Vandallu left. Everger fell into deep thought. Generally speaking, the city of Horus is closer to the city of Hakuum, but the thief army is reluctant to go far, although the line of Sillis is indeed conducive to the deployment of troops, but the thief army is already insufficient. This kind of behavior is very abnormal, most of them have other actions in the direction of Horus City, but in this way, the other party has committed the taboo of dividing troops, which just provides an excellent opportunity for our army to break through, as long as the enemy army is dragged in the direction of Silis City, you can concentrate superior forces to destroy this enemy army from Horur City. At that moment, Ephrje ordered to intensify reconnaissance in the direction of the Ruhr city.

Since the war had started in advance, the blood belonging to the warriors in Ai Fujie's body began to boil, and at this moment he put all the previous troubles behind him, and only focused on thinking about the battle, and soon he was refreshed, and his face was red.

Not long after, a man walked in briskly from outside. Everger looked up and saw that it was the old general Ulysses. The sixty-year-old veteran had already lost his head, his hair and beard were almost completely white, but his majestic body and straight waist were still the same as when he first met him thirty years ago. Seeing that it was Ulysses, Evger hurriedly smiled and stepped forward: "The old man is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

Ulysses stood up and said with a calm face: "Lord Evjie, the old man heard that the thief army has sent troops from Silis City, and you have already sent Lord Karui to lead the troops?" ”

"Exactly, does the old man have any opinion on that?"

"That's a feint of the thieves! The purpose must not be here, can't you see it? ”

Everje laughed: "Boss, you look down on you too much, how can I not know this trick of the thief army?" But if I don't send troops, the thieves won't have the next move, right? I still have 50,000 troops in my hands, and even if they make any moves, I will have enough troops to respond. I'd like to lure out the thieves' intentions and give them a good lesson in military theory. ”

"I see, it seems that the old man is too worried, so don't bother you." Ulysses said that he was about to take his leave.

Ai Fujie hurriedly stopped him: "Since the boss is here, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and we will be a host, let's have a good drink, and wait to see the next move of the thief army by the way, I don't know what the boss thinks?" ”

Ulysses groaned for a moment and said, "Since your lord says so, then the old man will bother." (To be continued......)
