Chapter Ninety-Eight: Six Delaying Tactics

In fact, Dadaran's goal at the beginning was not like tonight, his goal was just to cut off Mifura's food route by avoiding the heavy and light, and by the way, he could loot the towns along the way, and when Mifura and Trag were almost consumed by each other, he could take the lead in attacking Mifula's lair and obtain the maximum benefits. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But things went in a direction he didn't expect, first of all, Mifora's supply of food came later than expected, and by the time Mifra began to cross the river, Dadaran was already in a crisis of food shortage. Secondly, Dadaran found out about Mifura's secret dam construction, and with the instinct of a military general, Dadaran immediately understood Mifora's intentions, so he revised his battle plan.

Dadaran watched Mifora's army cross the Ermod because he did not want to confront the elephants head-on, and waited until nightfall before he attacked. At this time, although the Mifra army still maintained about 70,000 troops on the south bank, his elite had already been invested in the north bank, and now the rest of the south bank was only a few old and weak remnants. How could such a force be able to stop the famous mainland Paz army, let alone the number of opponents who couldn't tell the other side at nightfall? Almost immediately, these poorly trained troops fell into a state of semi-rupture.

Tragg, who was overjoyed to see this in the firelight, immediately ordered the whole army to report the exciting good news. In a short time, the entire Sindra army launched a counterattack against the Mifra army amid the sound of shouting "Paz reinforcements have arrived".

Mifola, who was suddenly attacked by two lines, also fell into a panic. Originally, his plan was almost successful, but he was attacked so suddenly, and for a moment Mifra even suspected that he had fallen into Traag's trap. By contrast, his soldiers were hit harder than he was, and many of them were defeated by the imposing Sindra army, completely losing their previous advantage, and if it were not for the indiscriminate attack of the Sindra soldiers due to their lack of necessary training, they would likely have been driven back into the Ermod River again.

"Withdraw to the South Bank!" Mifura finally gave the order, and he sensed that the Pas army would not attack until night, and it should not be very numerous, so he decided to return to the army to defeat the Paz army first, and then confront the Sindra army across the river.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with Mifra's orders, but when it came to execution, it was not at all. The soldiers were no longer the steady advance of the day, and everyone wanted to get back to the south bank as soon as possible, so the soldiers jumped back into the Ermod River.

If the Mifra army is allowed to withdraw to the south bank, then Dadalan will not be able to deal with it with only 50,000 men. As the Mifra army began to cross the river, the earth suddenly began to tremble.

Mifora was the first to react as she sat on the elephant - it was a dam breach in the upper reaches of the Elmod River, and the flood was pouring down! He kicked the elephant slave hard and shouted, "Quick! Get ashore! ”

It's a pity that there are only a few people in the Mifra army who react in a timely manner, and even if they react, they are hindered by the pace of friendly forces and cannot act in time. The flood soon poured down in such a terrific force that it roared and swept the unfortunate people into its arms and threw them out into the sea, without considering the feelings of the frightened people of the Ermod River.

A full 110,000 of Mifora's army disappeared forever into the Elmod River, 20,000 of the remaining 100,000 or so were left on the north bank, and less than 20,000 were lucky enough to return to the south bank.

Why did the Ermod River, which had been cut off by the Mifra army, suddenly burst at this time? This is certainly a masterpiece by Dadaran. When he realized Mifora's plan, he sent 1,000 elite soldiers up the river to find the location of the Mifula army's dam, with the goal of destroying the dam. They did just the right thing in terms of results, but it was entirely by chance. These 1,000 elite soldiers finally defeated the Mifula army stationed on the dam and successfully dug the dam, but allowed Hong Feng to reach the position of the battlefield at the best time.

However, more than 10,000 people in Sindra's army were swept up in the torrent and died because of the rapid pursuit, but this was not harmful to the overall battle situation. At this time, the Sindra army on the north bank had a seven-to-one advantage over the Mifola army, and almost all of the 20,000 isolated Mifola troops chose to surrender.

On the south bank, the situation of the Mifra army was not much better. Under the onslaught of Dadaran's 50,000-strong army, the Mifra army on the south bank was scattered, and before Mifra could take the 20,000 men to the south bank, half of the more than 70,000 people on the south bank had already fled.

Dadaran was overjoyed to see the water level of the Elmod River soaring, and immediately sent a detachment to stop the Mifra army that had just come ashore, and he himself accelerated the speed of driving the defeated enemy army. Under his effective attack, these old and weak soldiers became the targets of unilateral slaughter, and in the darkness of the night, they could no longer form an army, and fled madly to the south.

At this time, Dadaran turned around and began to attack the Mifula team, and at this point, where did the Mifra army still have the fighting spirit? Even the most elite elephant troops only drove the elephants to run wild, not caring whether it was friendly or enemy forces in front of them, let alone other troops?

By dawn, the Mifra army was completely defeated, leaving more than 30,000 corpses on the battlefield. After this battle, Mifra lost more than 160,000 troops, and less than 3,000 soldiers were left around him to retreat all the way south; The Sindra army also lost nearly 50,000 men, and almost all of the elephant soldiers were consumed; Only the Paz army led by Dadaran suffered negligible losses, losing less than 800 men in the night's battle, and more than 2,000 wounded, some of them by mistake by friendly forces in the night.

According to Traag's meaning, of course, it should be pursued by victory, but Dadaran put forward a different opinion.

Dadaran believes that with the current combat capability of the Sindra army, it is not suitable for an expedition to Mifora's lair, and even if it is reluctantly done, it will only consume the national strength in vain, but it may not be able to eliminate Mifula. With Miphora in business for many years, he has the allegiance of the southern princes, and he has numerous maritime trading ports, and as long as these princes continue to provide him with troops, and the merchant ships in the ports provide him with financial and material aid, then Miphora has an almost endless ability to recover. On the other hand, if Sindra's expedition fails, its ability to recover will be far less rapid than that of Mifula, so instead of chasing after it has already won a great victory, it should focus on recovering lost territory, expanding the king's influence and deterrence, winning the allegiance of more princes, and at the same time forming a navy to gradually strangle Mifula's maritime trade routes, so as to fundamentally stifle Mifula's chance of making a comeback.

Traag didn't fully agree with Dadaran's statement, but after all, he was able to win this battle entirely with the help of Dadaran and the Paz Army, so he had no choice but to sell Dadaran a face and implement it according to his plan. (To be continued.) )
