Chapter 378: Retreat

Wow!

The horse neighed, the last neighing of the last of its strength and the fall to the ground overwhelmed.

It was Ingrid who ravaged the war horse to such a miserable situation.

Originally, he traveled lightly and followed in the footsteps of Vega, and should have arrived near Yves Saint-Laurent at the same time as Vega. Sadly, he was only halfway through when he found that a large wooden suspension bridge connecting the two cliffs had been destroyed, which forced him to take a detour.

Although there is no evidence.

Even if he asked Vega in person, it is estimated that after the war, he would not remember to do such a thing while sleepwalking. But Ingrid was 100% sure that it must have been the imp who had slashed the drawbridge with a sword in his hand and tried to stop him from passing on the information.

But people are not as good as heaven.

In a hurry, several horses were killed, and he Ingliel finally returned to the army before the war began.

"Quick, I want to see the Commander-in-Chief. ”

As soon as he returned to the Chinese army, he didn't even bother to drink saliva, and hurriedly conveyed to the soldiers his application to meet the commander-in-chief.

But it was rebuffed.

The soldier looked at Ingrid apologetically and said, "Due to the latest movements of the enemy, the vanguard of Arri Sood's army suspended the siege of the city, so the commander went to the vanguard army to personally direct the battle. ”

"What!"

Ingrid was taken aback, he realized that he could not delay any longer, and that he should rush to the Vanguard Headquarters immediately, otherwise it would not be so easy to retreat once the war started.

The two armies are at war.

If you retreat before the battle, the enemy generally does not dare to pursue, because you maintain an impeccable retreat formation, and if the enemy pursues, you can change the rear flank to the forward at any time, so that the enemy knows what it means to be poor and not chasing.

But if you retreat halfway after the war begins.

Then because it is impossible to organize a retreat formation, the enemy will take advantage of the situation to cover up, lose a large number of troops, and even annihilate the whole army in serious cases, this is the difference between retreat before the war and retreat after the war.

So Ingreel is going to stop this war anyway.

He couldn't watch as Tanir lost the kingdom's 200,000 soldiers without any chance of victory.

Therefore, he did not care about the sloppy appearance of the dusty servants, changed into a war horse and rushed towards the vanguard army as soon as possible, and when he arrived at the vanguard army, he found that the war had not yet begun, and the entire vanguard army was waiting five miles from the city.

After questioning a few soldiers, he finally found the commander.

He was about to step forward to greet the commander-in-chief Tennir and the division commander Arri Thorde, but was caught by a distant scene.

This is the front of the main force of the Vanguard Army, and this position can clearly see every detail of the west gate of Saint Laurent, and it is at this time that he discovers that something is wrong with Saint Laurent.

Four doors wide open?

There is no one stationed on the tower?

The moment he saw these two situations, Ingliel, who had been in contact with Vega since the north of the empire, immediately thought of a certain situation. If all is correct, what kind of tactics does that imp want to unleash?

No one knows better than him the horrors of guerrilla tactics.

That kind of tactic can not only delay the enemy for ten days and half a month with a minimum number of people, but also unite all the civilians in the end, regroup the main force that has been reduced to zero, and then turn defeat into victory.

This is really a tactic that he still can't understand how it works.

So now the situation is obvious, that little imp can fool the eyes of the commander-in-chief, but he is a person who has been fooled once, how can he be deceived twice by the same trick.

"Sure enough, sure enough......"

Ingliel automatically made up something terrible: "Sure enough, that little imp wants to cut the drawbridge because he is afraid that I will rush back before the war." ”

With this in mind.

Ingliel applied for a face-to-face meeting and stepped forward to greet the commander-in-chief: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the lower officer is back." ”

"It's General Ingrid. ”

Tenniel said in a very weak and tired voice: "I think now I need an explanation from you, why that imp is back in Yves Saint Laurent, you should know how much this affects our plans. ”

"The lower official is guilty. ”

Ingrid remembered Vega's god-killing scene again, and he couldn't help but shudder, and then told Tanir exactly what was going on, and exaggerated it a little.

"General Ingrid, do you know what you're talking about?"

Tenniel coughed a few times and said: "He is just a shadow mage, not an elemental mage, even if he is a high-ranking elemental mage, he can grind the other party alive with 10,000 ordinary soldiers to fill it, but what have you done...... cough cough cough ......"

A flurry of coughs.

Tenniel was a little powerless, and finally waved his hand helplessly and said: "The matter has come to this point, and you will no longer be held responsible, the most important thing now is, how to fight this war, what good ideas do you have?"

Tenniel pointed to the city of Saint Laurent.

He said in a puzzled tone: "What is the intention of the enemy army to open all its doors and not arrange any soldiers to defend, I really can't keep up with that little ghost's train of thought, what is General Inglier's opinion?"

In fact, Tenniel was just a polite question.

He didn't have much hope for Ingreel, a general with more than 10,000 people who couldn't stop even one person could do great things, and he even doubted his ability to identify talents, and began to regret entrusting Ingrell with a heavy responsibility.

But what Ingrid said next was something he didn't expect.

"Have you ever heard of guerrilla warfare?"

Ingrid said confidently: "If the lower officials expect it to be good, the four gates will be wide open, and no soldiers will be arranged on the tower of the city to defend any soldiers, this is to preserve the strength of the little devil's original guerrilla tactics. ”

"It turned out to be a guerrilla tactic!"

Tenniel's face changed instantly, as a 5-star general, of course he knew how to keep pace with the times. So of course he had heard of one of the root causes of the defeat of Ingreel and the defeat of the kingdom on the northern front of the empire.

Guerrilla tactics.

He had heard that this tactic could drag large enemy forces into the quagmire of street fighting with a minimum of troops, especially against undersupplied troops, which was a deadly nightmare. This tactic is also recognized by the Kingdom Military Research Institute as one of the most restrained tactics of their new tactical blitzkrieg.

If the enemy uses guerrilla warfare at this time......

Doesn't that mean that it is impossible for him to completely take Saint Laurent City in two days, and the most likely thing is that the entire army will collapse after two days, and then the imperial and dynastic armies will regroup and wipe them out.

Tenniel was frightened by Ingrid's two words.

Even if he is a gambler, no gambler will gamble 100% of his money.

And it was at this time that a herald hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. ”

The herald presented a battle report: "Half Moon City has fallen, and Saya City is in an emergency, asking for your support." ”
