These days, Vandalu endures pain every day. On the one hand, because the attack of the thief army was much faster than expected, the cities of Balmer and Gitti were not able to delay and deplete the thief army as expected, and Tulayan, who was on the tight front, had to urge him to recover the lost ground as soon as possible, open up the supply line, and then use the 10,000 troops to deal with the frontal enemy; On the other hand, Vandallu was suffering from the fact that the Epsommiton area was controlled by the bandit army, and the north and south were unable to communicate with each other, so he could not formulate an effective strategy against the enemy.

The 10,000 horses that Tulayan allocated to him said no more, no less. In terms of combat strength, Wang Dalu is confident that he will not be defeated by Li Tianhao while maintaining a defensive position, but it would be too reluctant to use these forces to recapture Epsommiton City. After all, all he had at hand was infantry, and once he left the fortifications and marched into the plains, it would be the best food for the cavalry, and if he didn't do it, he would be completely defeated. Therefore, the best thing to do is to wait for reinforcements from the north to arrive, and then strike north and south together. However, due to the lack of information, Vandallu did not know the extent of the friendly forces in the north, and was unable to take corresponding measures. To this end, he sent several soldiers in disguise in an attempt to sneak through the Epsommiton area to establish contact with friendly forces, but never heard back. Of course, he didn't know that although Li Tianhao had given up the eastern region, Yamo had mobilized three hundred cavalry from Li Tianhao, and at the same time planted a lot of eyeliners in the villages and towns along the way, once his soldiers were discovered, they would be immediately hunted down by the cavalry, and this plain in the Epsommiton area had no terrain to hide their whereabouts, so these soldiers became lonely souls without exception. In fact, Yamo's contribution to this battle was very large. To a certain extent, this compensates for the dangerous situation caused by previous intelligence failures.

Since he could not contact his allies, Vandharu did not dare to act rashly. He deployed his forces in the towns and villages south of Epsommiton. Heavily defended by the city walls. At the same time, a small force was sent to the area to operate, trying to use this method to lure Li Tianhao into action. Judge the progress of allies from the opponent's actions. But as time passed, Li Tianhao turned a deaf ear to all this, and Wang Dalu's heart became more and more anxious. According to his calculations, the friendly forces should not be too far away, and the timing of the attack must be cautious, otherwise his troops are likely to become the target of Li Tianhao's various attacks. If his forces here are defeated, then Li Tianhao may abandon Epsmilton once the situation is unfavorable, and Tulayan may face the dilemma of fighting on both sides at that time. So Vandharu came up with a solution, which was to send a small force to tentatively harass the Epsommiton area. If the opponent does not react at all, it can be deduced that the friendly forces have begun to attack the city, and they have lost their skills. However, in order to implement this plan, he had to be patient and endure the dissatisfaction expressed by his subordinates when they could not fight.

However, in the early morning of that day, Vandallu finally received good news: a scout sent by Viscount Libera, the commander of the reinforcements, had successfully passed through the area of Epsommiton, bringing him news of friendly forces.

Upon hearing this report, Vandharu immediately received the scout. The man appeared to have suffered a lot, blood stains on his tattered and filthy clothes, and the smell of sweat emanating from his body. The haggard face illustrates the hardships he has experienced along the way. Vandal ordered a few sips of water to pour him down, and made him sit down and rest for a while before he began to ask.

The news brought by the scout shocked both Vandallu and his men. Viscount Libera has led an army of 100,000 to approach the area of Epsommiton, and has now launched an attack on the thief army from both sides of the Namra River in two ways, according to the situation of the battle. The enemy forces on the Eastern Front were extremely weak, so Viscount Libera considered it imperative to repair roads and establish strongholds on the Eastern Front with a portion of his forces to ensure that supply lines were unblocked. On the Western Front, Viscount Libera was attacking Epsommilton with the main force. However, in order to ensure that the thief army is annihilated here, it is necessary to contact General Tulayan on the southern front. Let him send troops to respond, flanking the enemy on both sides.

After hearing the news. Vandallu sent the scout to recuperate, and he sent another man to report to Tulayan. Then another person was sent to inquire about the situation of the previous night, and Wang Daru was not so simple as to easily believe the news of this one scout. Half a day later, it was reported that there had been a skirmish on the banks of the Naura River in the Epsommiton area the night before, in which several Yagi soldiers had been killed, and that there had been sporadic fighting in the rest of the area. Only then did Vandalu become convinced that the soldier had indeed fought to the end of his life. At this time, Vandarau no longer hesitated, and immediately gathered all his troops and marched to the west bank of the Nanra River.

In just one day, Vandharu transported the 10,000 men, along with equipment, baggage, grain and grass, to the west bank of the Nanra River. This is certainly due to Vandarlu's careful preparation, but also proves that he is not a general.

The morale of Vandallu's troops was high because they had waited too long for this day. As a result, the army marched much faster than Vandalu had expected, and had advanced into the hinterland of the Epsommiton region in only two days. That night, Vandallu stopped the soldiers who were still trying to take advantage of the night's coolness, and forcibly ordered them to stop and rest for the night - a sleepless practice that should be avoided as much as possible, and the troops must be kept in the best condition before coming into contact with the enemy. After arranging the sentry positions in various places ahead, Vandarru's team began to set up a meal.

The soldiers ate their dinner and discussed the battle that was about to begin, and everyone geared up to fight the thieves. Looking at this scene, Wang Dalu had mixed feelings in his heart, happy that the morale of the soldiers was high, it was the time to use, and the worry was that this group of soldiers had no experience in facing the thief army, once they experienced the power of the terrible cavalry led by Li Tianhao, it was difficult to say how much psychological fluctuations would occur. What he has to do now is to maintain the momentum of the soldiers and cooperate with Viscount Libera to defeat the thief army, so that the soldiers will gain confidence and the battle will be much easier in the future.

Vandalu looked up at the starry sky and smiled wryly. He couldn't help but sigh infinitely about Viscount Libera's role as commander, Libera's ability is naturally undoubted, but this person as commander may cause considerable dissatisfaction in the army, especially Tulayan and his team, it is really difficult to say how things will evolve in the future.

After eating, the soldiers began to go to bed one after another, after all, after two days of continuous travel, fatigue was natural, and many soldiers fell asleep as soon as they fell. Wan Dalu walked around the camp with his hands behind his back, and was about to rest in his tent, when he suddenly heard a slight whistle coming from a distance, and Wan Dalu was shocked: it was the signal that the sentry ahead had been attacked!

"Enemy attack!"

The screams of the sentries woke up many people, and it was like a heavy hammer smashing into Wangdaru's heart - only the sentinels in front dared to give the signal of attack, how could the enemy army have already reached the nose?!

Before most of the startled soldiers could come to their senses, Vandallu saw a torrent of cavalry pouring into the camp. (To be continued......)
