Chapter 286: Harming others and harming oneself

Da Da Da –

The horses neighed, and their footsteps were like thunder.

An army of 12,000 entered the Grand Canyon of Tully from the outside, and this army was equipped with high-level forces such as magicians and professionals, and it was obvious from the spirit that this was a baptized army of war.

The opposite is true.

Although the soldiers on the defense line on the Vega side are known as the "victorious" divisions and elite troops of the Seventh Army, they may not be as dispossessed as ordinary troops at this critical moment, but the tension and panic on their faces are inevitable.

"Only war is the way to raise soldiers. ”

Vega looked at his troops and sighed: "It has indeed been peaceful in the east for too long, such a force is not the elite division I want at all, how can an army that does not know how to enjoy the smoke of gunpowder be called an elite division?"

That's right.

The troops that Vega wanted to command most were those who wanted peace, but enjoyed war.

Does this sentence sound like a contradiction?

However, this is the case, and there is a living example here - himself.

Vega was indeed enjoying comfort, enjoying peace, and that sense of security immersed him in it, and even gave him the illusion that he was no longer used to war, but now it seemed to be nothing more than a worry.

Maybe it's because I've been comfortable for too long.

Facing the battlefield where even the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and it seemed that even time was about to freeze, Vega was excited, how long had it been since he had experienced this feeling? It had been about three months now.

For 3 whole months, I did not experience the war.

Vega looked at the looming kingdom army in front of him, took a deep breath, and inhaled the smell of war into his lungs, he indulged in it as if he were tasting a fine wine, and only now did he realize that-

War, it's wonderful.

Drawing his cross-sword, a symbol of power, Vega pointed forward: "All Army!

"Scared!"

A huge shield forged of steel stands in front of you, chilling arrows on the strings of the full moon, and magicians who manipulate the elements chant loudly, and the war of blood and fire is fought here, here...... Cowardice, cowardice, death, sorrow, pain will be forgotten.

The weak? the strong?

Here there is only, winner!

Boom Boom Boom –

Magic roars, arrows gallop, professionals roar, and cold spears reap life.

The two armies collided with each other, fearless and impregnable, and the two sides fought together in this canyon.

Due to Vega's adequate preparation, reasonable defensive formation and magician arrangement, the Kingdom Army, which rashly fought in close arms, suffered heavy losses, coupled with the advantage of being the defender in the first round, it was now about 46 open.

Is Ingreil scared?

If he was afraid, he would not have chosen to fight hard when the scouts found out that there was a blocking force in the front, and after so many large and small battles in the eastern part of the dynasty, he had already found that the imperial army and the imperial reinforcements were some false appearances.

As long as you are not afraid of death, they will only be afraid.

As long as you fight to the death, they will run away.

How could these comfortable fowls understand the United Kingdom, which has been cornered, and how can they understand their determination to win or die.

Ingrid wielded his sword.

His loud roar seemed to drown out the roar of the war, reaching the ears of every soldier: "Warriors of the kingdom, show your determination to die, and teach these comfortable fowl what they areβ€”"

"Real war!"

The commander was on the front line, and the morale of the kingdom's soldiers was greatly boosted, and the tide of the battle was turned upside down in an instant, and although the troops of Vega had undergone the most severe training, they had forgotten that war was always - victory or death.

"It's good to be able to do this. ”

Vega, who looked at the overall situation, smiled, he knew that it was impossible to build a real elite division overnight, and it was already very good to be able to fight to this extent today, if he kept pressing the kingdom army, he would be truly surprised.

"Adjutant, give the order to retreat. ”

Vega turned over and prepared to retreat to the second line of defense: "Give a signal so that the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th regiments on the flanks can carry out covering operations, and there will be a pit for the kingdom army here." At the same time, I also let the generals of the other side know that it is not enough to have the courage to win or die in a war, and I am not the kind of third-rate general who has a tendon in his head and stubbornly fights a frontal battle. ”

As Vega's order fell, the whole army began to retreat at full speed.

Vega led the way, followed by the Professionals and Wizards, followed by the faster cavalry, and finally the most numerous infantry.

If there were no flanks of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th regiments to cover the retreat.

Then Vega's troops will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it is estimated that only cavalry and high-level armed forces can escape, but with the cover of the flank troops on the top of the canyon, then they can calmly pull the second line of defense, and they can also pit a royal army by the way.

If the royal army continues to pursue, it will only suffer heavy losses.

This is Vega's understanding of the resistance war, this time the resistance battle does not need to defeat the opponent, just delay time.

"Hahaha, warriors of the kingdom, see it. ”

Ingreel sneered and pointed at the retreating hoplites: "This is the fowl of the empire and the kingdom, they are afraid, they are afraid, so they are fleeing, the whole army is in pursuit, and the victory goes to the kingdom!"

"Adjutant. ”

While pursuing, Ingliel ordered: "Now that the two armies have been separated, I can let the aviation unit carry out magic bombing, and I want this army to be buried here today." ”

"Master, I'm afraid this won't work. ”

The adjutant pointed to the terrain and said: "In this case, the aviation forces will not be able to see the ground forces at all, and unless they descend to a certain height, they can carry out magic bombing of the ground forces, which is too risky for the aviation forces." ”

"Then forget it. ”

After thinking for a while, Inglier said: "If you can't keep the high-level armed forces, you can keep their main forces, and without the main forces, you can't make any waves with those high-level armed forces." ”

Ingrid chased 100 meters after this chase.

In the process of pursuit, he suddenly found that although the imperial army was rout, but the formation was not chaotic, he raised his head and looked at both sides of the canyon, and there was no reason for a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, if this ambush was set up, wouldn't he have suffered heavy losses?

A chill hits.

Ingrid's lips were a little pale, and the more he chased, the more uneasy he became, and he began to realize that he was chasing too deeply.

"Why does this strange atmosphere feel familiar?"

"No, that little imp will not graduate in two years, right?"

Inglier's intuition told him that this strange atmosphere of war had a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, and this feeling had been forgotten by his subconscious, and he probably would never actively remember it in his life.

And the other side.

Vega had already learned that the enemy was chasing thousands of kilometers deep and that the whole army had entered an ambush circle.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is the opposing commander really stupid to this extent? My original intention was to harass the Kingdom Army with flank troops, as long as the other commander's commander saw our neat retreat formation and the surrounding terrain, he should stop the pursuit, and at that time, he would only lose a few soldiers at most. ”

"What if the Kingdom Army continues to pursue?" asked Adjutant Iroh excitedly.

A bright smile appeared on the corner of Vega's mouth: "If the pursuit continues, when the whole army falls into an ambush circle, I bet that they will lose eighty percent of their troops even if they are not completely annihilated." ”

"This ...... How is that possible?" said Adjutant Ilo.

Vega didn't pay attention to Ilo's surprised expression, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "Calculate the time, Dandry's attack should also begin, I didn't expect this blocking battle to become an ambush battle, I really have to thank the commander of the kingdom army." ”

Able to hold off the enemy while trying to save as many troops as possible.

This is the perfect ending for Vega, and after this war, the entire heavy brigade will surely gain great growth, which is a crucial experience for an elite army.

Meanwhile.

At both ends of the canyon, the flanks watched the battle below.

The commander of the 1st regiment put down the binoculars and said: "Deputy brigade commander, the time is almost up, the kingdom army has actually entered the ambush circle, this time it will definitely be able to win in one battle, it is worthy of the brigade commander's plan, it is really perfect." ”

Ignoring the 1 Regiment Commander, Dandry's eyes flashed with madness.

The 1st Regiment Commander immediately noticed that something was wrong, and he said anxiously: "Deputy Brigade Commander, please give the order to attack, otherwise the Kingdom Army will rush out of the ambush circle." ”

"Command. ”

Hearing these two words, the commander of the 1st regiment breathed a sigh of relief, he had already drawn his cross sword and was ready to fight.

But at this moment, an unexpected order came from Dandry's mouth: "No one is allowed to attack without my permission, and those who violate the order will be executed on the spot!"
