The war came to the tenth day.

In these ten days, Vega launched seven battles, large and small, with direct losses of more than 18,000 men, but did not achieve any results.

It's not just that there are no results.

The successive defeats caused the morale of Vega's army to drop to a low point, and the soldiers began to get tired of the war.

Public opinion is also beginning to emerge.

Many soldiers began to want to retreat to the midstream, and the cold weather made the public opinion more intense, and Vega of course gave the order to control the public opinion, but this attempt to cover up the behavior only made Eskar in the Black Gold City laugh.

The City of Black Gold.

Eskar, who was staring at the sand table, was already laughing happily.

"Hahaha!"

"Vega, Viga, you're still too conceited and underestimate me too much. ”

Eskar said to himself coldly: "Do you think that relying on my trust, you can underestimate me if you win the last war? Arrogance and conceit will eventually send you to the grave, and this war should be a lesson for you, let you know that the empire is not something you can underestimate, once you leave the empire, you will be nothing." ”

It's a declaration of victory.

Because in these ten days, the war went exactly according to his plan, so smooth that he couldn't even believe it.

At first, he only planned to hold on and fight a protracted war with Vega, which was his relatively conservative plan.

Of course, he also prepared another, more radical plan.

If Vega launches multiple attacks in a short period of time and causes morale to fall to the bottom, which will collapse at the slightest touch, then he will lead the army to counterattack Vega, blowing the horn of the middle and lower reaches of the counterattack while washing away his shame.

And now the situation is moving towards radical plans.

Vega has waged seven wars.

These seven wars actually cost Vega nearly 20,000 men, and at the same time, morale was reduced to the bottom.

There is nothing to doubt about this.

Because the corpses of the soldiers are what they cleaned up, the low morale is also visible to the naked eye.

Coupled with the information obtained by the scouts, it was already known from that information that there were a large number of officers and soldiers in the Vega army who advocated retreat, and a considerable degree of public opinion and unrest broke out. Although these public opinions and turmoil have been suppressed, if the war continues to be defeated, the public opinion and turmoil under high pressure will surely rebound directly.

As a general with rich command experience.

Eskar, of course, understands that in an army, morale is the most important thing.

Morale is not only the most important, but it is also the most difficult to recover.

Losing armies in a row will not let you down if you want to see them continue to lose. An army that has won consecutive battles can at least raise its basic combat effectiveness by several grades, and even reach the level of winning more with less.

Not alarmist.

When morale drops to the freezing point, execution and combat effectiveness plummet, and the commander's words alone cannot directly improve morale, not to mention that Vega has basically lost his credibility as a commander.

But even by this time, Escal did not give the order to attack.

He was waiting, waiting until the last tipping point.

This critical point was tentatively set for the 10th war.

If Vega continues to order an attack, when the number of attacks reaches 10, he will order the whole army to go out of the city to attack Vega, so that Vega can taste defeat.

If it is not reached 10 times.

Even if it was just one time, Eskar planned to take a conservative plan and let Vega safely withdraw to the midstream, because even if there was a one percent risk, Eskar did not intend to take any chances.

In another ten days.

It was as if he was going up to the house, and the ladder appeared in front of him for some reason.

Vega launched their tenth attack, and each time it failed, and Vega was forced to return to the camp, but deserters had already appeared that night, and the whole army was on the verge of collapse.

This time.

As long as an army attacked them, Vega's army of less than 300,000 could collapse without a fight.

Although it is coming.

But this time, Escal still did not wait to order his soldiers to attack out of the city.

He cautiously analyzed the battle situation, and at the same time sent a reconnaissance team to find out if Vega's army was really on the verge of collapse, and when it was learned that Vega was no longer able to control public opinion, and even there was unrest and desertion, Eskar knew that the opportunity had come.

No matter how you look at it.

Vega was no longer able to restore the morale of the entire army.

Attacking when the morale of the dynasty army is low, 100% can win in one battle, this is the best opportunity to wash away the shame and expand the results of the battle, if he misses this opportunity, he will never have the possibility of revenge.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent report from the front. ”

Just as Eskar had the last hesitation, a scout broke into his office and made a very important report to him: "We have the latest information, the Dynasty has begun to retreat, and they seem to be preparing to withdraw to the midstream. ”

"Can't wait any longer. ”

The scout's report resolves Eskar.

He immediately ordered the whole army to assemble, and he must and must seize this only opportunity.

The execution of the Imperial Army was very high.

In just half a day, the main forces of the empire were all assembled, and Eskar launched a pursuit in the direction of Vega, he had to catch up with Vega's army, leave Vega's main force upstream, and win a big victory.

Vega's morale is low, the people are sleepy, and the speed is certainly not fast.

So Eskar has the confidence to catch up with Vega, and he has already seen the light of day.

The Imperial Army waited for work, and of course it was fast.

As the sky was about to get dark, Eskar had already seen the sights of the Imperial Army.

Ahead was a long and narrow canyon, although the air force could not use it, but he still laughed, and then waved his cross sword forward, and ordered: "Vanguard, hold them back, the main force will follow." ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

The cavalry mounted their horses, the magic of the pros and mages erupted, and the vanguard galloped towards the tail of the Vega army.

It was also at this time that Vega received an urgent report from the scouts.

"Report to the Commander, it's not good. ”

The scout didn't have time to take a breath: "The empire, the imperial army is chasing after you, please give the general an order." ”

"The tail wing turns to the front, and the whole army is in defensive formation. ”

Vega decisively gave the order for a frontal battle, but this order was stopped by the division commander on the side.

He hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, commander, now our army's morale is completely gone, the failure of this half a month has made the soldiers afraid of the imperial army, at this time we should retreat immediately, if we can withdraw a team, our army will be defeated if we start a frontal battle with the enemy." ”

"Don't worry about that. ”

Vega laughed: "In normal times, it is indeed difficult to restore morale in a short period of time, even if I can't do it, this battle will indeed be as inevitable as Eskar imagined." ”

"It's a pity—"

The corners of Vega's mouth were already pulling up a bright smile: "It's a pity that Eskar didn't calculate everything, and I have a treasure in my hand that instantly restores morale." ”
