Bius is fifty-one years old this year, and as a senior general in the Yaki military world, he can be regarded as depressed. The reason for this is that he chose to belong to the faction of the Minister of War, Andrasiu, and was suppressed by Prime Minister Usubu.

He hasn't had a chance to play in every recent fight, and in a sense he and Libera are in the same situation, but Bius is different from Libera in that he is basically a respectful and courteous type. Therefore, this time King Kadir promoted Libera to commander, he had some complaints, but at the same time, Libera invited himself to serve as a lieutenant general, which made Bius embarrassed for a while, but in order to save the crisis of the Yaki army, Bius still accepted the appointment.

This time Libera sent him to be in charge of the Eastern Front, although Bius felt that the operation in the opponent's non-key defense area would not establish any merit and was dissatisfied, but he was not unaware of the importance of this mission, if the supply line continued to be cut off, Tulayan's 100,000 troops would be in danger of running out of food, which would be a move that would affect the situation of the war. Therefore, Bius actively deployed his soldiers and began to restore the smooth flow of roads and establish communication between various towns.

In addition, Bius also organized several detachments to clean up the small units of the bandit army that remained on the east bank. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and if it continues according to Bius's expectations, within half a month, the supply line can be initially restored.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and when the news came from the reconnaissance force that Li Tianhao's 8,000 cavalry had crossed the Namra River and quickly defeated several detachments of the Clean-up Army, Bius understood that all these efforts had been in vain.

For now, he must immediately shrink his forces. After all, he only had 20,000 troops at his disposal, and it was not so easy to resist the attack of 8,000 cavalry in this undefended plain. Scattered troops are a taboo for soldiers. Only by gathering all the forces can you fight these cavalry units. At the same time, a new plan came to Bius's mind - as long as he and his infantry remained undefeated. Then Li Tianhao's cavalry will be in a dilemma. If he sees that he cannot win and retreats to the west bank, Libera will prevent him from advancing eastward again, and he himself can resume the restoration of supply lines; If Li Tianhao is unwilling to leave, then he just drags this cavalry, so that the pressure on Libera to attack Epsommiton City will be greatly reduced, once Epsommiton City is recaptured, then Li Tianhao will lose his only stronghold, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Epsommiton area, so that the supply line can also be opened. He can even find an opportunity to eliminate this thief chieftain who has caused headaches throughout the country of Yaki.

To this end, Bius carefully arranged, quickly gathered his own forces, and at the same time endured the damage caused to his small force by Li Tianhao's cavalry that attacked everywhere, and finally succeeded in gathering more than 16,000 men and establishing a camp at a place called Hughes Heights with the back of the Nanluo River.

The cost of accomplishing this step was not insignificant, and it took Bius more than 3,000 to achieve this step, which was also rare in his long military career. Fortunately, with this high ground as a backing, plus this 16,000-strong army. Bius was confident enough to hold on.

Bius observed that the enemy cavalry had also gathered in one place, but had not launched an attack on his camp, and it was clear that they were well aware that a strong attack would only increase casualties. Today's Bius Army is like a hedgehog in a defensive state, quietly waiting for time to pass. Because procrastination is even more disadvantageous for the enemy.

After a stalemate for a long time, the opposing cavalry actually whistled away and disappeared without a trace. After that, there was no movement for two whole days. This made Bius difficult: where did this Li Tianhao go? If he had given up attacking himself and returned to the West Bank. It would be worthless to huddle in this camp, but if he deliberately concealed his whereabouts. Lure yourself out of the defensive position, and if you leave the camp and continue to open up supply lines, you will inevitably be attacked.

For this reason, Pius sent a number of scouts to reconnoitre, and the news was surprisingly consistent, no enemy troops were found in the nearby towns, only a few people had seen the cavalry march south, and then news came that not a single ship had been moored in the Nara.

Bius was not at ease, and patiently stayed in the camp for two days before he was convinced that the enemy army should indeed have returned to the West Bank. Because according to Bius's calculations, Libera's troops should have already started the attack on Epsommiton City, and the thief army has no more time to grind with itself on the east coast, if it is not to defend Epsommitton now, then there is no need to defend it, because Li Tianhao, who has exhausted the main force, will not be able to break the encirclement network completed by Viscount Libera to rescue Epsommiton, he is sure of this. Therefore, he immediately ordered the ministries to start working, and he wanted to make up for the losses of the past few days. However, even though he was sure that the enemy had returned to the west bank, Bius acted cautiously, not spreading his troops too far apart, but keeping a certain distance to ensure that the various divisions could support each other, because he believed that even if the enemy withdrew the main force, he would leave a part of his forces to interfere with his own operations. And it was this arrangement that saved himself, and also the subunit force.

That night, when his men came to report the attack on the troops ahead, Pius was not at all surprised, as he expected, the enemy would not rest on his laurels. Since he was attacked, the first thing to do was not to mess up his position, he immediately sent the troops arranged on the left and right flanks to respond, and his own team immediately moved forward, and at the same time sent someone to send someone to order the rear team to follow up - he could not let any of the troops become alone, so as to create an opportunity for the small force of the thief army, especially at night like this.

It was not easy to command the army in the night, but Bius's troops moved quickly and quietly, like a ghost in the night, and Bius was ready to use his men and horses to deal a blow to the enemy who came to sneak attack.

"Enemy attack!" When the soldiers in the rear shouted this sentence, Bius's head buzzed, this is simply an incredible thing, there is a rear team in his rear, but who would have thought that there would be enemy troops inserted between the team and the rear team! But when the sound of rolling horses' hooves came, Bius knew that he was wrong, and he had been wrong from the beginning! This is clearly a massive attack by thousands of cavalry! Li Tianhao didn't leave at all! He was deceived by the illusion created by Li, and what Li Tianhao had to wait for was the moment when he left the high ground! His goal is himself, his own head!

However, Bius was a veteran of the battlefield, and after a brief loss of consciousness, he immediately returned to normal, commanding his subordinates to form a formation to resist, and at the same time requesting reinforcements from the left and right flanks. Due to his effective command, Li Tianhao's cavalry team was never able to defeat his own team, although he inflicted a lot of casualties on the Yaji army. At this time, the reinforcements on the left and right flanks also arrived in time, and Li Tianhao immediately retreated and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.

After finally combining the three forces, the people in the rear team also hurried over. With these forces, Bius quickly rushed to the position of the front team, but unfortunately it was too late, the front team had been completely routed by Hector's troops, and only corpses and wailing wounded soldiers were left waiting for Bius's arrival.

Bius hated it so much that he lost more than 2,000 people for no reason because of his miscalculation. Now that we know that the enemy army has not left at all, it is important to return to Hughes Heights as soon as possible to maintain a defensive position.

Bius ordered to rest in place, and waited until dawn to make his way north, and as soon as it was almost dawn, there was a commotion among his team.

"What's going on! Be quiet! Bius snapped up. It would be a shame for the regular army to throw themselves into disarray without hostility, and Bius would not tolerate such a low-level mistake by his own men. But when his ears heard the word "traitor", he understood, Li Tianhao was even more ruthless than he imagined! When he attacked him, he actually sent troops disguised as Yaki soldiers to infiltrate his own team! Now is the darkest time, the other party chose this time to create chaos, then the enemy army must be nearby!

In fact, just as Bius had expected, a fire soon erupted in the chaotic crowd of the team, and then a rain of arrows covered the team's position! (To be continued......)
