Chapter 459: Sneak Attack and Sneak Attack

The moonlight is not bright tonight, making it a bit troublesome to walk at night, but it is enough for the fish-people who have been active in the deep sea for a long time.

Jenny stood in the barracks watchtower at the top of the hill, watching the team assembled on the flat ground the size of several football fields at the foot of the mountain.

It's been ten days since the little kid named Charles took office, and Jenny initially thought that the other party would start a battle of revenge against him as soon as he arrived.

In this regard, Jenny prepared a "fishing wild ambush" gift package for Charles. The most famous tactic of the Shimazu family during the Warring States period of Japan was to send decoy troops to lure the enemy into the encirclement, then the troops on the encirclement first attacked the enemy from both sides to disrupt the enemy's formation and morale, and finally cooperated with the main force at the bottom of the pocket to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

As a result, there was no movement on the elven side these days, only a small number of small troops appeared around the newly built camps, and the front line was as quiet as before.

Jenny judged that the elven clan lost a lot of land in this battle and ended in a fiasco, which would inevitably cause turmoil within the army, and it was not surprising that there were high-level people throwing the blame and large-scale personnel changes. And Charles's assumption of supreme power in the Southern Theater is nothing less than a footnote to this turmoil.

Charles has been in office for so many days, and the elves have not moved, which on the other hand verifies the fact that the elven army is unable to attack for various reasons.

Naturally, Jenny would not let go of this opportunity, and he immediately ordered the troops deployed on the front line that were originally used to lure the enemy and ambush to rest and replenish for a short time, and then used the cover of night to launch a full-line attack on the elves, taking advantage of the chaos at the top of the elven army to occupy a series of areas that were conducive to defense and establish a new defensive line.

After occupying a large area of land, the morale of the entire Osme Kingdom was unprecedentedly high, and the opposition that appeared before Jeni for forcibly mobilizing the defense forces of the southern deep sea caused several areas to be attacked by deep sea monsters and suffered heavy losses was instantly turned into a casual praise from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for achieving great things.

It's just that at this time, Jenny has his own worries in his heart, he has seen the situation of diluting his troops in order to occupy a large area of land once in his previous life, and as a result, the continuous appearance of the Tubalu and the guerrillas have made them miserable.

Therefore, Jenny decided that he must occupy the favorable terrain and build a strong defense line before the elves came to their senses, and then speed up the pace of land migration in order to occupy and populate these areas.

At this time, the team of about 5,000 people gathered from several nearby military camps at the foot of the mountain had been divided into squares of several hundred people, and they were sitting on the ground waiting for the logistics soldiers and civilian men to distribute the cadres.

Because the elves retreated in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of freshly harvested food, the soldiers who participated in tonight's operation no longer used seaweed gnocchi as their commanders, and they could now eat rice balls with various kinds of jerky.

The improved food has boosted the morale of the troops, especially the soldiers who have been stationed in the deep sea. The fish-man soldiers took their backpacks full of rice balls and water bottles, hoping that more food would be captured this time.

At this time, an attendant climbed the watchtower and came behind Jenny, and then reported: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, the rest of the troops have been prepared. ”

Jenny nodded and said, "Order, everyone set off at midnight as planned." ”

After the attendant left, Jenny asked the other attendant behind him, "Have all the priests of the temple left?"

"They've all gone to the south to investigate. The squire said.

Jenny looked at the night sky in the distance, a mocking sneer on his face.

He didn't have much reverence for the gods, but he had to go with the flow a lot of times.

The Ocean Temple's investigation of his abduction of an innocent girl to send him to the devil made him a little passive, but by chance, the priest who came to investigate came to the front-line barracks at the moment when he launched the battle.

So Jenny used safety reasons to protect the priests in the rear barracks.

When the battle ended, all the soldiers originally stationed on land were disorganized and reorganized and moved to the deep sea to defend against the deep sea monsters, and now the soldiers on the ground didn't know anything about what the priest asked.

The priests of the Ocean Temple knew that they had been tricked, but instead of showing that they were full, they swam in the direction of the deep sea without saying a word.

As for those demons, they had already slipped away temporarily after receiving the news.

Time passed little by little, and the fish-man soldiers on the flat ground had received their dry rations, and their weapons had been prepared, and then the logistics soldiers and civilians brought fragrant hot meals.

Jenny shook his head, and then said to the attendant behind him, "Pass the order, and the progress of building military camps in various places should be accelerated." ”

Because of the newly occupied area, there was no suitable barracks for the Fishman troops in this area. In the past, the troops were sent out to prepare for the "fishing and wild ambush", so there was not enough labor to build a new large military camp. The military camp where Jenny was at this time could only garrison a thousand people, and there was no way to garrison five thousand.

The time came to half past eleven, and the well-fed and well-fed fish-man soldiers were doing their post-inspections.

They would set off at around midnight and arrive at the outskirts of a small town after a three-hour march. After an hour's rest, they will launch a sneak attack on the town that is holding the main traffic route, and try to take it before dawn.

In other areas, units will attack targets at similar intervals.

It is foreseeable that a sneak attack during this time of sleep will throw the enemy into chaos, creating an opportunity for the attacking side.

When the news of the attacks on many fronts reached the headquarters of Osmanthus City, it would take a while for the originally chaotic army leaders to react.

After much deliberation, Jenny judged that by the time the elven army reacted and sent reinforcements, they had captured and consolidated the intended objective.

Jenny looked at the dark mountains in the north and thought to himself that after consolidating the defensive line, he must put the nobles in the country in order to be put in order. The grassy aristocrats had to be beaten to let them know that they weren't to be messed with, and they had to spit out something to make up for the mistake of discrediting them in the first place. The newly acquired land must be given priority to the soldiers and officers who have made great achievements in the past two years, and only by stabilizing the army can he have everything else.

Suddenly, he saw several startled birds flying out of the mountain, and they were flying towards him.

Jenny quickly realized that those things were not startled night birds, because birds couldn't have flown so fast.

But before he could make the next reaction, the black shadows rushed into the phalanx of soldiers who had just lined up at the foot of the mountain and were ready to leave, and another black shadow flew by not far from him, and then crashed headlong into the ground of the barracks.

The elves' warheads are constantly improving.

The storm composed of the fire elemental, earth elemental, and wind elemental was raging on the ground, and the whirlwind composed of the wind element was large but not high, and the tornado was only five or six meters high and reached a diameter of 100 meters.

The earth elementals condensed into casserole-sized solid stones, and they slammed into every obstacle in their path with the fierce wind, either it broke everything in its path or it shattered itself.

The blazing flames enveloped everything with the wind, invading any crevices it could encounter—the crevices of armor, the necklines of clothes, and even the nostrils of faces.

Jenny and his attendants on the watchtower were blown away by the whirlwind at the beginning, slammed down the hillside outside the barracks, and rolled down the hill with a grunt.

In order to prevent the elves from sneaking up, all the vegetation on the mountain has been removed, but the trench has not been dug yet, and Jenny just rolled all the way down the mountain.

By this time, the firestorm had dissipated, and there was a sudden silence up and down the mountain.

At this moment, the second batch of black shadows descended silently again.
