Chapter 191: Night Attack
The night of January 26th. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the camp of the receiving troops fifty or sixty kilometers away from Shizuipo, before a bonfire, Dane, Alexandrina, Delin, and several other important people under Dane were all gathered together.
Dain held in his hand a piece of letterhead, which Morno had sent a wolf cavalry to deliver in the afternoon. Originally, the work of delivering a message to the sword falcon knights flying in the sky must be much faster than the wolf cavalry running on the ground, but who let the sword falcon knights be driven away from the battlefield by the orc's bipedal dragoons?
"What did General Morno say?" Delin asked.
Dane shrugged his shoulders, put the letterhead in his hand into the campfire in front of him, and said, "He is going to launch a night attack on the orc army entrenched in Shizui Slope tonight, and we must be ready to respond overnight, and we will find out the situation early tomorrow morning, and if they fall into the quagmire, we will rescue them." ”
"Molno is too whimsical, isn't he?" Alexandrina said she was a little incomprehensible, "There is an orc army of more than 15,000 people stationed in Shizuipo, and he has a team of more than 1,000 people, so what can he do to attack at night?" Even if the night can provide some cover, the risk is still too great. ”
Pehin was also not optimistic about Morno's actions, she said: "Not only that, but since the night can provide cover for Morno, it will also cause him trouble. Now that the Falcon Knight has all been driven away, it will not be easy for him to find a worthy target in the camp of more than 15,000 orcs after he has lost his eyes in the sky. ”
Unlike the two of them, Delin seems to have a different opinion. Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Dane said, "Delin, tell me about it." ”
Delin said: "I think Morno may succeed this time. ”
"Yo ......" Dane became interested and continued to ask, "Why?" ”
"Guess." The expression on Delin's face was more or less embarrassed, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart. However, under Dane's encouraging eyes, he still guessed his talent: "That's right, I noticed that Sir Marin's falcon knight has been scouting the situation of the orc army, and before, although the orc army had also dispatched bipedal wyverns to chase, it had never taken such a large-scale action as today. The two hundred flying dragoons were almost the entire air force of the orc army, and they no longer even cared for the army of Governor Oze who was chasing behind. But why is that? The orc air cavalry, which had never made such a big move before, why did they suddenly make such a big move this evening? ”
"I think this must be something on the part of the orcs themselves. We don't know what exactly they are doing, so we don't know enough, but we can make a bold guess: they want to leave Shizuipo overnight! After all, the terrain of Shizuipo is too delicate to be garrisoned, but due to the terrain problems, they may want to jump out of this big pit overnight, otherwise, when they pass Shizuipo slowly, they are likely to be caught up by Governor Ou Ze behind. ”
Dane nodded and said, "It's about the same as I thought." I reckon that Morno probably guessed this and prepared to launch a night attack on the orc army. In this way, his chances of success are greatly increased, and if the orc army is suddenly attacked during the passage through Shizui Slope at night, it is likely to cause great chaos. ”
"But it's just speculation, and wouldn't it be a very risky thing to make a strategic decision based on it when we don't have any intelligence to back it up?" Cecilia asked, puzzled.
It's normal for her to have such doubts. What these orcs want to do, no one can say. They may have wanted to retreat from Shizuipo overnight, but it is also possible that they are preparing to build a defensive line at Shizuipo, preparing to fight a decisive battle with the human army of Governor Ouze, who is chasing closer and closer. It's also possible that they just want to drive away the Sword Falcon Knight who is honestly hovering in the sky.
There are many possibilities, but for Morno, who cannot accurately control the intelligence, the decision to make a night attack is undoubtedly a pure gamble. If you win a bet, you may not be able to win, after all, the size difference between the two sides is too great; The bet was lost, hehe......
Dane spread his hands and said, "He's going to gamble, who can do it?" However, I do think that Morno should have a good chance of winning, and this time he is quite bold. ”
Several people nodded in agreement, and Delin suddenly asked again, "What about us?" Are we going to do something tonight? ”
"No!" Dane waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if he wins the bet or not, he will see tomorrow morning." Send that wolf cavalry back, and let him tell Morno that we are ready to take it here. Let's rest as usual in the evening, and wake up early tomorrow morning to see what is going on over there and decide what to do. By the way, Pehins, make your rangers work hard, and tomorrow morning, we must know what happened in Shizuipo! ”
"Well, the rangers won't let you down."
……
Dane, who was full of worries, couldn't sleep a little as he tossed and turned on the bed. Morno's actions tonight were so important that he couldn't sleep.
He wasn't quite out of the maelstrom yet, but at least he was in charge of this reserve and didn't need to rush to the front line. But he will still worry about whether the army led by Morno will be dead or alive, which will have a certain impact on the future situation in the southeast of Sindlaire.
Tossing and turning like this, until the second half of the night, he thought that he didn't know what situation he would face in the morning, and he must maintain enough energy, so he forced himself to sleep.
When he slept in the middle of nowhere, he was woken up.
"Boss! News from the rangers says that the raid by Morno's army has been successful! ”
In a word, Dane, who was still half-asleep and half-awake, instantly fell asleep!
He got out of the tent as fast as he could, saw Delin standing at the door, also excited, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Delin said briefly: "Just now, an elven ranger sent back the latest battle situation ahead, and in the middle of the night, Morno led more than a thousand soldiers to launch a fierce surprise attack on the orc army in Shizuipo!" As expected, they were really under the idea of withdrawing from Shizuipo overnight! By one o'clock in the morning, Morno's army had already been killed, and it seemed that the orc troops marching at night had probably been disrupted! ”
Dane slammed his fist: "Great! Gather the troops for me in an hour, and now that Morno has succeeded, we can start preparing for the next move! ”
――
The blow in the past two days has been a bit big, and I looked at the collection data with confidence and put it on the shelves, but the subscription results were miserable......
I felt that the world was gray all of a sudden, and for two or three days, I didn't feel like I could lift my spirits at all.
Thanks to the book friends who have rewarded in the past two days, it is a kind of comfort no matter what, so that I can raise some strength to write the manuscript. (To be continued.) )
