That night, Rudaboye and Iaya returned to Elbuk Castle with their troops, and hung the sword of the Mariga family held by Sinder above the castle gates, and announced that they had succeeded in killing the enemy's 6,000-strong camp with only 400 men and horses, and beheaded the enemy Mahind Maliga.

The two of them publicized their achievements with such fanfare, and even did not hesitate to include the slashing of generals in their names, first, to stimulate morale, after all, the main general is not afraid of swords and axes, not afraid of arrows and stones, and personally goes into battle to kill the enemy, which can prove their courage and can also inspire the morale of all the departments under their command; Second, because Su Hao didn't want to become famous in one fell swoop and become the focus of the Virgin Kingdom, the son-killing enemy of the lord of Malika, so he gave this credit to Rudaboye.

But in any case, this time with fewer strikes and more defeats, the morale of the Nord army was restored to its peak.

Although on the surface, this brilliant record is mainly recorded on the two of Rudaboye and Iya, but in fact, only these two know that the real mastermind behind this battle is actually Su Hao. Coveted the merits of others, and they were very unhappy in their hearts, so they named Su Hao as the captain of the infantry, Su Hao thought about it, and agreed, but asked Lord Iaya to give him a sailboat.

Although the two were a little puzzled, after all, the main force of the Calradia War was actually composed of three major arms: bow, cavalry, and infantry. If you want to really occupy a place in Calradia, the development of these three main arms and the formation of a strong army are the king, but what do you want to do if you want a ship?

Could it be that he is reserving a way out for himself?

Only then did Su Hao express his thoughts:

"Although the success of this stealing camp has weakened the enemy's spirit, the status quo of the enemy's strength and weakness has not been fundamentally reversed, but will only make the enemy more angry. Because we succeeded in stealing the camp, rather than defeating the enemy head-on on the battlefield, the enemy will not think that they are inferior to us in combat strength, but will attribute all this to conspiracy and trickery. ”

"The enemy's frontal morale is strong, and the front is sharp, and when the army of Mariga arrives, merges in one place, and rests for two days, it will certainly attack on all fronts, and our army will be forced to go on the defensive. And then, what they have to do is to capture Fort Elbuk as quickly as possible, while we must delay their attack, reduce the enemy's attack, and wait for the sea support of the cities of Sagoth and Tiha. ”

"Of course, this speculation is only based on the fact that the enemy only has a single front attack from the east, and if the enemy opens a second front and advances into Sagos, then there will be no way to talk about support, and there will be no point in delaying."

Hearing this, Iaya and Rudaboye nodded secretly and asked, "Well, no matter what, delay is still necessary, so according to your ideas, how to slow down the enemy's attack?" ”

Su Hao replied: "First, the discord plan. ”

"I have heard that Hind Maliga, who was assassinated in the rebellion, is the beloved son of the old thief of Maliga, and that Sind is in the service of Larcha, and that Larcia has an unshirkable responsibility for the death of this man, and as long as this is used to create a gap between the two lords of Mariga and Larcia, and to widen it, there will naturally be discord within them... However, under the mediation of King Yarogerke, it is difficult for them to have the possibility of a fire merger... But it's hard, not impossible. When hatred is provoked to a certain extent, it will become more and more intense, irreconcilable, and everything is just man-made. ”

"Second, sea harassment."

"Although the enemy army has been able to enter the eastern border of our Nord for the time being, and is gradually deepening, the supply lines are also getting longer and longer, and the supply is becoming more and more difficult, and its momentum cannot be sustained. We only need to send a navy to bypass the enemy's land lines, land from the coast, attack their supply lines, and at the same time harass their rear base camp port city of Riwache, and in the long run, the supply will be blocked, the rear will be uneasy, and they will inevitably have difficulty in supply... However, it will not run out of food because of this, although this plan can be used, but it is not very useful. ”

"Thirdly, contact the Khanate of Kugit and the Kingdom of Swadia, which border the Kingdom of Vegia, and ask them to attack the southern border of the Kingdom of Vigia in order to draw the forces of the other side... However, the essence of this strategy is to count on other countries, the Kugit Khanate and the Svadia Kingdom are foreign countries after all, and their ideas cannot be measured by us, so they can only be tried, but not as the only hope. ”

Su Hao paused and continued: "I want this sea ship, not to reserve a retreat for myself, but to go deep behind enemy lines, pull out a strong force, and contain them from the rear as much as possible...... Now in the current situation, the enemy will not make any more mistakes, and the so-called conspiracy and trickery will not help, even if I am here, my personal force is limited, and I do not have many men, I will not be able to share the worries of the two adults......"

With that, he bowed deeply.

Iaya took a deep look at him, then took out a piece of letterhead, wrote the military order, stamped it with an engraved seal, and instructed the left and right: "You, take my warrant, take Captain Su and his subordinate Rhodelia mercenary regiment, hurry to Wocheze, and transfer 20 sailors, 1 Nord warship from the Wocheze navy, and give it to him together with 10 elite guards of my mansion!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

……

Corresponding to this were the Doruboye and Lalcha armies of Vigia, who retreated 10 miles each and set up camp together.

Finally, the lord of Maliga also arrived with his army.

His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to be about to go mad, and it was obvious that the news of Aiko's death had already reached his ears. However, at the moment of the great enemy, he still endured it and did not have a seizure, otherwise with his brutal temper, he would have raised his sword and duel with Larcha in the gladiatorial arena.

And Larcia was also quite remorseful, and when he saw Lord Mariga coming, he took one step and knelt down on one knee to express his apologies before the other party could speak.

Maliga was also quite knowledgeable, although his face was still very bad, but he still smiled reluctantly, helped Larcia up, and said some polite words, and the two of them were also in harmony on the surface. This made Rudapoye also sweat, for fear that this Maliga would come, and without saying a word, he would directly cut Larcha... You know, this guy Mariga's temper is notoriously bad in the Kingdom of Vegia.

After temporarily resolving the issue of internal discord, the three began to discuss the next battle plan. After discussing it for a while, Maliga threw the stick and said, "Then let's rest for the night tonight and go to war tomorrow." ”

"What?" Dorupoye and Lalcha, who were standing by the sand table, looked at each other with puzzled expressions, although the Maliga army was in full swing, but the two of them had just lost the battle, and they still needed two days of rest and recuperation, and if they fought tomorrow, they were afraid that they would suffer heavy casualties.

Doruboye wisely did not raise any objections, but Larcia hesitated, but still suggested in a tactful tone: "General Maliga has traveled thousands of miles, and he is tired from afar, so why don't you rest for two ... Well, no, one day, and then Xu Tu to develop? ”

Maliga glanced at him with disdain, and said lightly with anger: "Our army is coming from afar, the advantage is in a rapid battle, the enemy is outnumbered, and the victory is in Xu Tu, now every day of delay will delay the fighter plane for a day, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, and when Albuk is captured, it will not be too late to rest... There is no need to discuss this matter again, so let's draw up a battle plan like this. ”

After that, he didn't wait for the two to answer, and walked away.
