The next day.

When the morning sun sweeps away the gloom of the night, the day of the real decisive battle has arrived.

A cool breeze hit.

The golden lion of the kingdom was hunting in the wind, and in about half an hour, they would be in the city to officially launch the final battle against Saint Laurent, and the curtain would come down on this protracted war.

170,000 soldiers.

This is the total number of soldiers of the Kingdom Army, excluding the soldiers killed in the last battle of Saint Laurent and the soldiers who defended the city. Moreover, these soldiers are well-trained and battle-hardened main forces, which cannot be compared with the 80,000 cannon fodder of Yves Saint Laurent.

If there is a real war.

20,000 people can kill 80,000 recruits, throw away their armor.

Therefore, in Saint Laurent, there are only 20,000 imperial troops who really have the strength to fight a war, and these 20,000 troops have to subtract 3,000 elites, which makes the strength of the city defense drop by a few notches.

So from any point of view, this is not a war of magnitude.

But everyone in the royal army did not have a relaxed expression on their faces, from the senior officers to the ordinary soldiers, they all had solemn expressions on their faces.

It wasn't the 80,000 recruits or the 20,000 Imperial troops who made them put on such an expression, because they had defeated the most elite royal legions of the dynasty, and they had also killed the empire that had collapsed.

There is only one reason that really makes them fight against the water-

Vega Kareni.

It was that 13-year-old child, a small imperial brigadier general, who not only preyed on Saint Laurent, but also attacked Starfall, forcing them into a desperate situation of victory or death.

It may sound a bit fanciful, but here's what it is—

170,000 people are terrified of one person.

As long as there is that imp in the city, no one dares to say that a large number will definitely win, and even the commander-in-chief Tennir does not have the confidence to win this war.

The battle that failed to win the city gate is vividly remembered.

After all, no one would have thought that just a change of commander would turn Yves Saint Laurent into an impregnable fortress.

But the arrow is ready to be sent, and they can only fight to the death.

By the end of the hour, the Vanguard Commander-in-Chief, Arry Soder, had been able to see the outline of the city of Yves Saint Laurent, and it was half the battle to get past the towering and thick walls.

"Charge the whole army!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Arriel Soder ordered the whole army to charge.

He knew that the next time would be the most difficult, the war colossus of the city gate would unleash an attack comparable to the magic of the upper ranks, and the heavy city gate would not be able to break it without using magic bombardment dozens of times.

There are also towering city walls.

Even if a professional has the ability to fly on a wall, it is quite difficult.

But there is no bloodless war, when the order is given, the whole army picks up, the vanguard rushes to the forefront with siege engines, the professionals wait for the opportunity to rush to the castle tower and slaughter, and the magicians are ready to cover the attack.

In general, it does.

But at the scene in front of them, the 30,000 vanguard troops involuntarily stopped, not knowing whether to continue to move forward.

"Scout, Scout!"

Alex Soder hurriedly shouted at the scout, "What happened, why did the whole army stop advancing? ”

The general was angry. ”

The scout said with sincere fear: "There was an extremely strange scene in front of the front, the enemy actually opened the city gate, and there were no soldiers stationed there, we can't tell whether it is the enemy's conspiracy or not, so the whole army stopped without an order." ”

"What? ”

Ali Soder almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and the war had not yet begun, and the enemy army had abandoned the natural defense line of the city gate, which was tantamount to giving up the city if it was placed in the offensive and defensive battles of other cities.

But this is Yves Saint Laurent, the city of Yves Saint Laurent defended by Vega.

Therefore, Ali Soder did not dare to order the whole army to attack the city, but ordered the whole army to stop the attack, retreat 5 miles to maintain a defensive formation, and immediately convey this news to the commander-in-chief of the rear, Tennir.

"What the hell is the intention. ”

Ariel Thord put down his binoculars, his heart feeling uneasy.

Seeing is believing, and when he saw with his own eyes that the four gates of the city of Saint Laurent were actually wide open, and there was no one stationed on the tower, he had doubts about whether today's decisive battle could be won.

I still remember the last time the four doors were opened, it was in the city of Tully.

The final result was that the Imperial army surrendered, not only successfully breaking through, but also burying 2/3 of their aviation units.

And today, the four doors are wide open again, what the hell is the enemy's idea?

————

Vega is of course going to sing about the empty city.

But can a group of soldiers who are fighting against the odds really be scared off by an empty city plan?

Knowing that there is no way back will make them desperate and unlikely to be intimidated by the so-called empty city plan, and the most likely outcome is that the enemy will continue to launch a general attack after a brief hesitation.

So what's the point of this empty city plan?

First of all, Vega did not want to waste a lot of troops on the attack and defense of the city gates.

Although the city gate is the best first line of defense, if too many troops are invested, the enemy will be dragged into regular warfare and lose a large number of troops, so Vega intends to abandon the city gate garrison and go directly to guerrilla warfare.

He had already drawn up a full plan for guerrilla warfare.

Once the enemy army stormed the city, Vega was sure to save the troops as much as possible in a fractional way, and played hide and seek with the Kingdom Army for ten days and eight months, and it was almost impossible for the Kingdom Army to dig them out one by one and clear them out in two days.

Of course, this is only the ideal state, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Therefore, it can scare off the enemy army, and of course Vega does not want to really start a guerrilla war with the enemy, so based on the foundation of guerrilla warfare and the concept of waste utilization, Vega's advance plan Empty City Plan came into being.

So how to use the city gates that are ready to be abandoned anyway to scare off the enemy army?

This is to mention the previous half moon of the south, the elite troops who pointed at Saya.

If there were no errors in the calculations and no accidents along the way, the Kingdom Army must have received an urgent battle report from Saya City, and it is impossible for Ingliel, who was defeated in the Battle of Kareni City in the north of the Empire, not to see that he was preparing to carry out guerrilla warfare.

As long as he clarifies to the commander-in-chief the idea of guerrilla warfare.

And in the case of the city of Saya, where the back road is about to be cut off, even the most daring officers will order a retreat, because even a madman will not want to fight a war that must be lost.

Rather than sit back and wait for the whole army to be wiped out.

It is better to retreat temporarily, keep the 200,000 army, and wait until the time is ripe to attack the Saint Laurent defense system.

Although by that time, he is estimated to have developed quite well, but it is not without a chance to defeat him.

So now Vega is waiting, waiting for the kingdom's army to retreat without a fight.

Of course.

If the commander of the royal army had lost the last shred of his senses, then he would have to wage guerrilla warfare.
