There is no doubt that the appearance of Grint has ignited the last glimmer of hope for everyone, and the soldiers who were originally killed and could not distinguish between the east and the west, have moved closer to the high slope where Grint is located. On the Grint's side, he did not directly lead the army into the battlefield below, but lined up on the high slope, feeling like he was trying to gather his troops.

"That's not good." Gassein looked at the situation, Grinth's troops appeared very badly, if the other party launched an attack at this time, it would attack his troops back, of course, it would cause a lot of losses, so Gassein's side quickly jumped on the horse next to him who didn't know who, and then raised his hand and began to gather troops.

Naturally, Gasein's troops were not in chaos, and when they heard Gasein's voice, they also moved closer to Gasein's side. The battle in the battlefield was a little quieter, and they also saw reinforcements on the hillside, and it seemed that there was still a fierce battle, so they followed Garsein's orders and began to line up.

"Everyone follow me, break through!" At this time, General Grint suddenly shouted, and Garsein, who was assembling the team over there, was also stunned when he heard the other party's words, and thought that the other party was going to rush over, but the result was that he was preparing to break through, and now breaking through is equivalent to retreating, and Grint is just here to save people?

"Give me a chase!" Garseen waved his hand in the direction of Grint, and the soldiers beside him rushed towards Grint when they heard the order. Grint waved his hand as well, and his troops stepped forward as well, quickly engaging with Garsein's troops.

It was the first battle of the night, and the soldiers on both sides began to fight head-on, holding each other up. Just as the front lines were fighting, the troops on both sides of the rear were also gathering more and more, and the Gassean side was naturally the soldiers who had come to gather, while the Grint side was the ambushed troops who had just escaped. At this time, Grint looked at the situation, waved his hand and shouted: "Break through to the west!" ”

Hearing the order, the enemy troops immediately began to shrink their formations and began to move closer to the west. Seeing this, Gaseen began to be a little anxious: "Paste it and surround them!" ”

Garsein's forces tried to encircle the enemy, but the opposite side did begin to retreat, with some of the troops in the rear and others moving west. The encirclement on Garsein's side has not yet been formed, and the other side has already retreated.

"Pursuit! Give me chase! Garseen shouted with a wave of his hand.

"Stop chasing." As soon as he finished shouting, a voice appeared beside him. Garseen turned his head to see that Linton didn't know when he was showing up beside him.

"Not chasing?" Garsein was stunned.

"Everyone is infantry, what is there to pursue, the enemy has cover, it is not a rout, and it is difficult to have an effect in pursuit, let them go." Linton said, "We'll just clean up the battlefield here." ”

"Let them go?" Garsein was stunned.

"War is a strategic purpose, not a personal vendetta, and although I know you want to kill the man who ambushed you, it's not wise to pursue it now." Linton said, "The general named Grint has judged very accurately, and the current situation can still accurately judge the situation, and will not give you a chance, let them retreat, anyway, our strategic purpose has been achieved." ”

Garsein thought about it for a moment, but listened to Linton's words, and part of the troops stared at the enemy army to the west, and the other part of the army quickly began to harvest the remaining enemies on the battlefield.

Soon, the sun slowly rose, and the battle was over. The battlefield was once again covered with corpses, but this time it was from the Kingdom of Covicla.

At this time, Gassein's troops were cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of people and sorting out the prisoners. Garseen also just listened to the report of his subordinates, this battle destroyed at least 1,000 enemies and captured more than 200 people, which can be said to be a great victory, but unfortunately the enemy's reinforcements arrived at the last moment and saved many people, otherwise these 2000 troops Gasain could have left them all.

"Don't look at it with pity, you can't blindly seek total victory in war." Linton, who was next to him, said, "We have routed the enemy's support forces and seized the enemy's baggage supplies, haven't we achieved our goal?" ”

Garsein nodded, indeed the problem of baggage has also been solved, although they also used fire this time, but it was only used to seal the road, after all, they don't have so much oil, so the baggage they grabbed this time is indeed a lot, and the problem of their troops was solved at once, and now Garsen's troops are well supplied, and their morale is high, it can be said that they are in full state. The strategic purpose that Linton said has indeed been fully achieved.

"I know, but they can't run either, notify the whole army, prepare to assemble, and march into the gold mines." Garseen said.

"Think again?" Linton couldn't help but say when he heard Garsein's words.

"Think again?" Garseen was stunned, "Then let's camp in place and rest for a day to attack?" ”

It is true that after a night of fighting, the soldiers are still very tired, so Garseen thinks that Linton does not mean to worry about this, so he tells the troops to rest before attacking.

"You TN guess the riddle." Linton raised his forehead, "When you are fighting, can you think a little bit about the thoughts of the enemy generals, and what kind of person is the general named Grint." ”

"Well...... "Garsein thought for a moment, "he can still command calmly at that time, and he is indeed a very powerful general." ”

"Listen up." Linton said, "That guy has a very clear grasp of the situation, why did he show up last night?" If he doesn't show up, the enemy's 2,000 reinforcements may be wiped out here, and then our troops will surround the gold mines with a great victory, and they will have to wait for death without reinforcements. Seeing this, Grint had no other choice but to come to the rescue immediately after discovering the situation here. Since he can see the situation so accurately, it means that he has made the best choice now. ”

"Yes...... What do you mean? Garseen asked, "What's the best option?" ”

"So do you still think the other side will retreat to defend the gold mines?" Linton asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Garseen was stunned, "Wait, what do you mean...... Will Grint give up the gold mine? ”

"He knows that our purpose is the gold mines, not them, and at this time he is not waiting to be surrounded by us, do you think a general like Grint will kill himself so much?" "If we give up the gold mines, we will naturally go to the gold mines instead of chasing them, and they will have a chance to breathe, gather their troops, ask for reinforcements, and they will have a chance to fight back." Grint is definitely not in the gold mines right now. ”

"It's actually ......" Garseen was a little incredulous, but Linton's judgment was reasonable, and he suddenly found that he had a lot to learn, and this leader had much more knowledge than he thought.

Yes, although Garseen has been on the battlefield, but at that time it was just an ordinary high-level miscellaneous soldier, as long as he obeyed the orders of his superiors, he could rush or retreat. After becoming a duke, although he also led troops, but they were only encircling and suppressing the rebels in the territory, those rebels were really a rabble, and they didn't need any tricks or anything like that, they ended with a fight, and this time was his real debut battle, and he also met a troublesome opponent, which suddenly made him feel that there was a big gap between being a commander and a small soldier.

But thinking of this, Garseen looked at Linton, this guy is younger than himself, he has not been on the battlefield, how can he be more skilled than himself: "You have led troops before?" ”

"No, I've watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Linton said.

"What is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Garsein looked confused.

"You just think of it as a book on the art of war." Linton said.

"Oh, the Art of War book ......" Garsein nodded, and it seemed that he was going to make up for it himself.

After a little rest, Garseen gathered his forces and headed in the direction of the gold mines. It didn't take long for them to come to the location of this gold mine, and sure enough, as Linton said, they sent a reconnaissance team to look around, but they did not find any enemy troops, and they really did not return to the gold mine, but simply gave up.

Garsein took the gold mine without bloodshed, and met with little resistance. There are still people in the gold mines, about 200 people working hard labor. Miners in this world belong to the lowest profession, and generally no one will come to mine for normal people, most of these people are actually criminals who were exiled here to mine. Previously, the 500-strong army under Grint's command was on the one hand to defend against foreign enemies, and on the other hand, it was also to guard these prisoners.

Of course, it is very simple to receive this group of people, they are all locked in the squad room, and they can't get out, and they don't mean to resist when they see Garsein's troops, it is obvious that Garseen is not their own army, and the gold mine should be occupied by other forces, but what does this have to do with them, anyway, who is mining not digging.

By the way, Garseen also threw more than 200 captured prisoners into it, and now they had more than 400 people to work hard.

After searching everywhere, they found a lot of supplies here, which should be the grain and grass materials hoarded by the garrison troops here, and now they all belong to them. With the addition of the ones they got before, they don't have to worry about the supply of food and grass in a short period of time. In addition to these, they also got a large warehouse of raw gold ore.

"This is a gold mine?" It was also the first time Linton had seen the raw ore of a gold mine, and the whole was still black stone, but there were indeed golden particles on it.

"I'm really rich now." Garseen looked at the raw ore full of warehouses and said that this batch of mines must have been dug before, and they intercepted it before they could transport it out.

"Anyway, as I said, our strategic purpose has been accomplished." Linton put down the ore and said, "Don't rush to chase the enemy, let's stabilize this side first." ”
