Chapter 738: Attack
At this time, in the Rossegg Fortress on the other side, the general Rosen had just greeted one of the Terran armies that had come to converge. This battle Lawson is still a little panicked, after all, the enemy does have a lot of troops, but after receiving the news that 80,000 reinforcements are coming, Lawson is also relieved, in his opinion, although the enemy's offensive is very fierce, but the total of 150,000 defenders to defend this fortress should be foolproof.
In recent days, reinforcements have also begun to arrive in batches, although the 50,000 troops sent from the main city have not yet been allocated, but at present, the number of people is enough. After all, it is an army of 50,000, and the organization will definitely be slower, in short, it is estimated that it will arrive within ten days, and it will be really stable by then.
At this time, the troops he greeted were troops from the Merlowe family, and yes, the leader of the team was Garsein. Merlowe. Of course, he hadn't seen the new duke of the empire before, as the commander-in-chief of the fortress, in fact, he didn't have to come out to greet him, but recently Garsein's limelight has been really strong, not only in terms of imperial favor, but also in the previous war with the Yetis Empire, this Garsein seems to have had good military achievements, and such a performance is also worthy of his personal greetings.
And of course Garseen here also wants to make friends with this veteran who has been stationed on the border of the empire all the year round, Rosen's name is very loud in the imperial military circles, as a martial artist, Garseen also admires this old general, and he is also flattered to see the other party come out to greet him in person.
Both sides wanted to make friends, so the conversation was very pleasant, but at this moment, Lawson's adjutant hurried over: "General, there seems to be a little commotion in the enemy's military formation, I don't know what happened." ”
"Riots?" Rosen is a little strange, but it is indeed a little strange, the attack of the orcs in the past two days was very ferocious, and they often stormed their fortress at any cost, originally Rosen thought that today was also an unusually vicious battle, but the strange thing is that the other party did not attack today, so he will have time to meet Garsein, which is indeed very strange.
Of course, the reason why the orcs couldn't attack was because they had discovered that the Terrans might send surprise troops to make a detour, so they suspended the attack, but now the situation is naturally more complicated.
"Come with me?" Lawson said to Garseen next to him.
"Yes, General." Garseen said immediately.
The two immediately came to the lookout tower of the fortress, the Rossegg fortress itself is relatively high, condescending, and it can be seen far away. At this time, the outside is the camp tent of the orc army, more than 200,000 troops, the camp tent stretches for more than ten miles, and from this side, I can indeed see that the camp tent of the orc clan in the west and rear seems to have some signs of turmoil, but the specific situation is not very clear.
"What do you think?" After a careful observation, Rosen asked about Garseen who was following him, and at this time some other generals also received the news and rushed here, but Rosen only asked Gasein, obviously wanting to see the level of the young general.
"There are two reasons, one is a scheme, pretending to be chaotic and trying to seduce us into action; The other is ...... Something unexpected happened. Garseen said.
Rosen nodded, and Garsein's answer was decent, and there were indeed only these two cases, but the question was...... Which one is it? Rosen decided to hear what he had to say, so he asked, "Which one do you think?" ”
"I can't tell." Garsein immediately said, "But just try it." ”
"A try?" Ron froze.
"Yes, I don't know what the situation is, but what if something really happens to the orcs. This may be an opportunity given to us by the God of Light, and if we can grasp it, we may be able to defeat the enemy's forces head-on. ”
"But if ......" the adjutant next to him was about to speak, but was interrupted by Garsein.
"Don't worry, I know this may be the enemy's trick, so I said try it first, send a force to try to attack first, see how the enemy responds, and then make a judgment. If it is a treacherous scheme, our loss is not very large, and if it is an opportunity, we can grasp it in time. "Lord Rosen, I am willing to lead my troops out of the city to attack the enemy. ”
"What?" Rosen was directly stunned, "You said that you took your headquarters troops to attack, you only have 5,000 troops on your side, the enemy has more than 200,000 troops, if this is the enemy's trick, then there is no return, once such a situation occurs, even if you withdraw with the troops, I will not be able to order to open the city gate and let you in." ”
"Of course." Garseen said that once the city gate is opened, the enemy may take advantage of the situation to enter the gate, and it is naturally impossible to open it, "But since I proposed this, it is naturally up to me to carry it out." If it is a trick of the enemy, then the loss on our side is only 5,000 people, which is completely acceptable, and if it is really an opportunity, then our gain is great. ”
"Do you have faith?" Rosen was surprised, "Do you know what the riots are going on over there?" ”
"I don't know, I just think it's a pity to let it go if it's an opportunity." "Maybe this is my chance to build a miracle." ”
If you really find that the enemy has an accident and seize the opportunity, Garsein is really a miracle. Rosen looked at Garseen here, this kid seems to want to make meritorious contributions, indeed he has heard a lot of bad rumors about the Merowe family recently, in his opinion, the main reason is that the Merowe family has ascended to the sky in one step, and directly promoted from baron to duke, which has indeed caused the hostility of many other nobles, simply put, envy and hatred, is this why Gaseen wants to take risks?
In any case, Garsein's proposal Rosen really couldn't refuse, as he said, the loss of 5,000 men was acceptable, and if there was a chance, it was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, and they were pressed by the enemy in the fortress for more than ten days, and they were also holding their breath. Garsein's suggestion Rosen also wants to put forward, but the people sent out are simply death squads, and it is a question of who to let go, and now that Garseen has solved this problem, then he can only nod his head.
"Are you sure?" Rosen asked.
"Yes, the Admiral has decided." Garseen said.
"Then, General Merlowe, order you to take your troops and horses to attack and try to attack the enemy's camp, and if there is any result, Ben will immediately respond, and if there is no result, retreat in the direction of the woods to the west." Rosen thought for a while and said, the city gate will only be opened once when the troops go out, if they are defeated, Garseen can only take the troops back to the forest to find a way to go back over the mountain by himself, of course, he will be chased by the enemy all the way, and it is almost impossible to come back.
"Yes, General." Garseen said firmly.
Under the order, the Terran troops immediately reorganized for battle, not only Garsein's troops, but also other troops were immediately assembled, after all, if there was any result, Rosen would naturally attack the whole army immediately.
However, the others were not optimistic about Garsein's desire to go out of the city to attack the enemy army, yes, most of them were not sent to death, and most of the soldiers in Garsein's army thought so. However, at present, most of Garsein's troops are members of the mercenary group, and the way he asked these people to give him his life is very simple, throw money.
"If you play with me, the agreed commission will be doubled, and the bonus for killing enemies will also be doubled. If you fall for the enemy's tricks, then I will allow you to flee the battlefield from the direction of the forest. Garseen said.
Allowing to escape makes the mercenaries feel that this work can still be done, yes, they are mercenaries in the first place, in addition to the work of fighting, they have also taken over a lot of other hunting monsters and other jobs, they have a lot of experience in marching in the forest, so if they are allowed to escape into the forest, then they say that there is a way to live. According to Garsein, if you attack the enemy's right flank, if you can't do it, you will not be sure to die. And the temptation of doubling the commission is indeed a bit too big, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and this heavy reward is indeed heavy enough.
As for the soldiers in Garsein's headquarters, although they also have doubts, after all, they are the troops established by Garseen himself, and their loyalty is still relatively high. Even their lords are not afraid, so they can't be intimidated. If Garseen himself doesn't go, just let them go, they will definitely refuse, but Gaseen himself leads, then they can only admit it.
Garsein quickly stabilized the morale of the army and assembled his troops. Soon, his headquarters troops gathered at the gate of the fortress, and the gate of the fortress was slowly opened, of course, it would be closed soon, and they would not have a way out. Garseen was the first to ride out of the fortress, and when he saw the brave general leading the team, the other soldiers were also emboldened and followed Garseen out of the city.
"Everyone, follow me to raid the right side of the barracks." Garsein pointed directly in the direction of the barracks on his right hand and shouted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers immediately shouted and followed Garsein to the right.
Of course, there was still some distance between the orc camp and the fortress, but there was no shelter in the middle, and as soon as Garsein's troops came out, the enemy would definitely be able to see it immediately. If there is any reaction, it should be right away. Garsein, for his part, was also praying that if what awaited them was an army that was ready for battle, he would most likely be here today, but he had no regrets, and charged on horseback while cheering himself up.
However, just as Garsein's troops rushed halfway and were about to see the result, suddenly a purple light flashed in the sky, directly hitting the military camp not far in front of them. With a loud bang, more than a dozen military camps in front of Garseen instantly turned into powder, and everything in front of him disappeared from his field of vision.
"What's the situation?" The troops who rushed to the halfway point all stopped and stared blankly at the situation in front of them.
