Chapter 326: Feint
Da Da Da –
On the road to Twilight, an army of 20,000 men walks in a messy pace.
It was a unit made up entirely of new recruits, who did not have the discipline expected of ordinary soldiers, and in many respects were unsatisfactory, and the average officer would even consider such soldiers as a burden.
But Vega did not dislike this rabble.
Because in his opinion, even if it is a useless soldier, it can have an unexpected effect when placed in the right place, just like a scarecrow, although it cannot be compared with a real person in all aspects, but it can scare away birds and beasts instead of humans.
Other words.
Although these recruits are not combative, they are enough to bluff people.
Early in the morning, Vega drew 20,000 recruits from the 50,000 recruits and incorporated the regrouped 1600 Dynasty professional soldiers into them to take on the management position of squad leader or instructor, and used it to conduct military training along the way as they marched towards Twilight.
Anyway, this time Vega was just pretending and didn't plan to attack the city.
Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to train and train soldiers by the way, so that the troops could have a minimum of discipline, and this would solve the first problem in the plan of 'diverting the tiger from the mountain' -- feints.
The recruits were in charge of the feint, so that the dynasty army mistakenly thought that this was his main force, which was the first step in Vega's plan.
He even deliberately walked in front of the troops, the purpose was to stabilize the discipline of the troops, so that the troops would not show their feet, and at the same time confuse the kingdom army. After all, the troops under the personal command of the commander-in-chief are not the main forces, what is it?
At the same time, it also indirectly makes the enemy feel a huge sense of crisis.
Generally speaking, the army under the personal command of the commander-in-chief must be the inevitable victory of this siege battle, and the commander of the kingdom army will dispel Vega's idea of preparing to attack the city of Saint Laurent as long as he sees this scene.
A sense of crisis is easily established.
When Alex Thord, who was on the way to support, heard the scout's report that Vega himself was at the forefront of the troops, pointing his sword straight at Twilight, Alex Todd was completely sure that Vega was indeed determined to win Twilight.
"The whole army picks up. ”
Division Commander Alex Soder once again ordered his troops to speed up their march, and he had to arrive in the city to assist in the fortifications before Vega's troops attacked Twilight.
"What is this 'devil's idea'?"
While marching, Alex Todd muttered softly, honestly he really didn't know where Vega's confidence came from, thinking that with 20,000 men he could take Twilight City, was this ignoring the speed of their support?
Arri Soud believes that Vega's actions are not at all worthy of his terrible reputation outside.
If he were the one in charge of this war, he wouldn't have chosen Twilight or any other city as his target, and no, he wouldn't even attack Radiant City.
Because there is simply no need for this.
Even a three-year-old child knew that it was absolutely impossible to overthrow the kingdom's troops approaching 500,000 in the east with 20,000 men, and the huge disparity in numbers had already allowed this war to see the end at the beginning.
But Vega did it anyway.
Even taking Radiant City at a completely incomprehensible speed, even faster than the speed of Saint Laurent's defense system, this is also something that Arri Soud feels completely incomprehensible.
"Is the other party really the devil?"
Alex Todd rubbed his temples in irritation, and he found that he couldn't keep up with Vega's train of thought about war.
"Maybe that's the difference between me and the top generals. ”
Arri Soder attributed the incomprehensibility to the disparity in war talent, and although Vega's rank was even lower than his, Vega's command level was more terrifying than any other general in the eyes of the kingdom officers.
The unknown and the incomprehensible are always scary.
Since he didn't know the general strategy of Vega, and he didn't gather detailed information about how Vega captured Shenghui City in 5 hours, Arri Soder could only rely on his own war experience and planned to use 12 points of spirit to defend to the death.
So the time came the next day.
Vega's recruits have set up camp a few kilometers outside of Twilight, and support forces from Yves Saint Laurent have arrived in Twilight, with Alex Thorde taking over the command of Twilight.
When it comes to building fortifications, Arri Soud has a bit of a knack for it.
He first ordered the houses near the castle tower to be emptied, and the support troops were placed in the nearest dugout, so that the main force could not only resist the enemy aviation units, but also reinforce the city defense at the first time.
Second.
Reorganize the mage troops and place them at the gates to form the most commonly used V-shaped defensive formation in the kingdom, and the enemy will not be able to break through the gates without paying a heavy price.
Third.
Arriel Soder was a general who was good at learning, and after studying Vega's war materials overnight, he learned some basic combat thinking in street fighting, so he planned to return the favor and weaken Vega's troops in this way as much as possible.
Even so, Arry Soud felt that he could not hold the city.
Vega's reputation was terrible for the officers of the Kingdom Army.
Therefore, Arri Soud arranged these defensive lines with the idea of weakening Vega's forces, and he thought that it would be gratifying to be able to hold out until reinforcements from other satellite cities arrived, and if he could not hold out until then, he could also allow Vega to take Twilight City and no longer covet other cities such as Saint Laurent.
The idea is wonderful.
But for the next day, Arri Thord didn't put his own defense plan to use, and the whole of Twilight waited safely for reinforcements from the other satellite cities to arrive.
This made Alex Soud even more uneasy, and he couldn't guess Vega's thoughts.
Report. ”
Just as Arrie Soud was fidgeting, a scout hurried in: "Enemy ...... The enemy army began to attack the city. ”
Bang!
Alex Soder should have been too excited to stand up and kick the corner of the table, but his eagerness had already made him ignore the pain in his legs: "Quick, go to the city tower, order the main army to support immediately at any time, and the magician must guard the city gate." ”
With the order given, the whole of Twilight began to get busy.
When he ascended the tower, he found that Vega's 20,000 troops had already formed an offensive formation, and Vega, as the commander-in-chief, actually ignored the danger and stood in front of him to give orders.
Goo-dong.
Arry Thord swallowed.
He realized that there was a tough battle to be fought next, and being on the front line as the commander-in-chief was a sign of his determination to win this war, which made him question the usefulness of his defensive line.
