Chapter 569: Copying

When Linton saw Garsein, the other party was preparing to leave again, and he was a little surprised to see Linton's arrival, but he quickly came to the camp with Linton.

"Let's talk about it, what's the situation, you can lose even this?" Linton said.

"Who knew that the enemy would take the initiative to attack, and judging by the situation, they seem to have already anticipated our march route, prepared so many things, and don't know how they knew our plan." Garseen also seemed to be quite unconvinced, and said with an unhappy face.

"The defenders of the gold mines attacked you?" Linton asked.

"Hmm." Garsein nodded, they already knew that there was a force in the gold mine during the previous combat meeting, after all, in such an important place, there was a garrison army on standby. However, the number of defenders in the gold mine is not very large, it should be about five or six hundred troops, so Garseen thinks that even if the other party discovers the movement of his troops, at most it is to tighten the fortifications at the station, who would have thought that they would take the initiative to attack, and also prepare for a fire attack in advance, which is obviously done only after knowing their advance route.

"The other party guessed that?" Linton said, "The garrison of the opposing gold mine seems to be a master." ”

"I remember that the name was supposed to be Tira. Grint. "It seems that he is indeed a well-known general." ”

"Like? So you don't even know the opponent, you just know a name? Linton said.

"I ......" Garseen tried to defend himself, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing to say.

"If you lose, find more of your own problems, don't blame the opponent for being too strong, otherwise you can jump the same pit several times." Linton said.

"I see, it's my responsibility." Garsein nodded, "It's me who is too light. ”

"It seems that the enemy's troops are indeed just that, and they didn't pursue them, right?" Linton asked, because the battle took place last night, and this morning Garsein had already sorted out the remnants of the army, if the enemy continued to pursue, it was possible that the defeated army would be sorted out so quickly, and it was estimated that there was no pursuit.

"The enemy is really not pursuing." "Their troops are estimated to be the same as the ones we detected, just five hundred. ”

"The blow was successful, but there was no pursuit, the commander of the other side was not carried away by the victory, and calmly chose to retreat, and now it is estimated that he has rushed back to strengthen the fortifications, this guy is very capable." "It seems to have been planned for a long time, and it's a troublesome adversary." ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, the enemy's troops are only 500 people, I just counted them, we still have about 2,200 troops, and no matter how strong the fortifications over there are in the gold mine, they can't stop our troops." Garseen said.

"Since the enemy has seen through our actions, he has naturally calculated what will happen later." Linton said, "Now that the other party has rushed back to defend, he should have calculated how long he can hold us back, and he has probably informed the city side of Dithorne about the current situation at this time, and asked that side send reinforcements." ”

"Hmm......" Garseen frowned, and suddenly felt a little bad, yes, if the enemy is really desperately defending, they can't attack for a long time, and the reinforcements sent from the city of Dithon arrive, aren't they very dangerous?

"I heard that in this ambush, we lost a lot of baggage?" Linton asked.

"Yes, after being attacked, the troops were scattered in disarray, and a large amount of baggage was left in place and directly burned." Garseen said.

"It seems that this commander did not intend to destroy our troops in this battle from the beginning, he clearly knows the difference in numbers, this blow is to strike first to the morale of our army, and then if we lead our troops to attack the gold mines, they only need to hold on for a while, because of the lack of baggage, the morale of our army will be even lower, and at this time, as long as the reinforcements from the city of Dithon arrive, the morale of our army will be lower, and the morale of the enemy will be greatly boosted, according to his calculations, that is the real time to destroy us." Linton said.

"What......" Garseen was stunned, he didn't expect that the other party's calculations didn't know about this ambush battle, and even the subsequent battles were calculated, was his opponent such a powerful guy?

Thinking of this, Garseen was also a little panicked, it was true that the current situation was a little bad, so he hurriedly asked, "What now?" ”

"You ask me?" Linton asked, "Think for yourself first." ”

"Me? I didn't think of it, my first reaction was to immediately reorganize my troops to destroy the troops that attacked us last night, and I almost fell for the other party's strategy. "Then if we can't go now, do we want to prepare our troops here?" But part of our baggage was burned, and the supplies were not enough......"

"You're really not using your brains." Linton said, "Have you heard the proverbs of our Merloville family? Learn and sell now, got it? ”

"Uh...... What does it mean? Garseen asked.

"Someone has already taught you to do this, you still don't understand?" Linton said, "How did you fall for the plan, you weren't calculated when you were rushing to your destination, so do you think about whether there is a force that is rushing towards your destination in the same hurry as you?" ”

"Hmm......" Garseen thought for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Enemy reinforcements?" ”

"Look, I can still figure it out." "The enemy knows that a force of 500 men will not be able to hold back a force of 2,200 men, so they will certainly inform the reinforcements from the city of Duthorne to hurry up." After the enemy's reinforcements received the battle report, they felt that you must be in a hurry to start attacking the gold mines, after all, the baggage is gone, and they will definitely rush to this side at full speed. So isn't it time to learn and sell now? You see, this general named Grint has even chosen the best ambush position for you, and the position where he ambushes you is definitely the best position, so you just have to do it again there. ”

"I see...... I get it. Garseen said immediately.

"As for the problem of baggage, isn't this solved, our baggage is blown up, but it's not the enemy's reinforcements who have sent us supplies again, solve them, don't you have everything." Linton said, "As long as the enemy's reinforcements are routed, the remaining 500 men will be the turtle in the urn." ”

As Linton had said, reinforcements from the city of Duthorne were now coming at full speed in the direction of the gold mines. King Covicla had actually received Tira a day earlier. General Grinth's letter, in which General Grint also put forward the conjecture that Garsein's target this time may be a gold mine, hoping that the main city would send troops to strengthen the defense of the gold mine, but the problem is that although Grint himself guessed accurately, he failed to convince King Covicla. King Covicla felt that the enemy's target was still the city of Dithorne, if General Grint guessed wrong, it would be a big deal, after all, he was in the city, and he gave up the advantage of defending the city to send troops, wouldn't it be digging his own grave?

Soon, however, new reports were sent to King Covicla, and General Grint won a beautiful battle, killing about 700 enemy troops and burning a large amount of baggage. More importantly, the direction of the opponent's attack was determined, and it was indeed headed for the gold mine.

After knowing this, King Covicla panicked again, he didn't expect the enemy to be so cunning, and the target was really their gold mine. The main city can't have an accident, and the gold mine can't have an accident, the gold mine is their lifeblood, the Kweikra Kingdom doesn't have much income in the first place, about 30% of the annual income is provided by the gold mine, if this is gone, the country's finances will collapse.

What's more, the current situation is even more indispensable, otherwise what will happen to these displaced people? There is no food left, and if there is no more money, it will not be the end? Your throne is in danger.

General Grint has already informed King Covic of all the plans, seeing the other party's arrangement, King Covicla feels that it makes too much sense, if the plan can be successful, the enemy army can be defeated in a battle, of course, reinforcements must arrive before the gold mine is broken, the 500-man defensive force can't defend for long, that side is just a mine, not a fortress. Therefore, King Covicla's side immediately ordered, and General Materazzi immediately led 2,000 reinforcements, set off in the starry night, and rushed to the gold mine at full speed to support.

The order was very urgent, and General Materazzi here did follow the order, leading the troops to rush for a day and a night without rest, all the way to the location of the gold mine.

On the other side, in the camp on this side of the gold mine, General Grint did come back for the first time to hurry up the reinforcement of the fortifications, he knew that he was facing a tough battle, a high-intensity defensive battle, but as long as he held it, the main city would definitely send reinforcements to arrive in time, because he also knew that this gold mine could not afford to lose, and the king would never give up the gold mine.

Although the fortifications of the gold mine are very simple, they can still hold on, at least for two days, and in two days, reinforcements will definitely arrive. However, to Grinth's surprise, after waiting for a day, the reinforcements did not arrive, and the enemy army did not arrive, so it was strange that no one came to attack them.

"Could it be that the enemy has not yet put together the scattered troops?" The adjutant next to him said, "I heard that this newly appointed duke was just a baron before, and he didn't have many private troops under his command, basically all of them were newly formed troops, and they had not been in army for a long time. “

"It won't be so slow......" Grint felt a little irritated for some reason.

Just as they were talking, a sudden fire burst out in the distance, and the adjutant next to him also noticed it, pointed over there and said, "Isn't that the location where we ambushed each other last night?" Why is the fire burning again? ”

"Oops!" Tlint was suddenly startled and shouted.
