Chapter 670: One Advance and One Retreat
Turn the gun and attack Roppus, so that the enemy thinks he is going to give it a go.
This is 'advance to retreat'.
The sudden retreat in the middle of the war was actually to lure the Imperial army out of the city for a decisive battle.
This is the 'retreat from the light'.
This 'one advance and one retreat' happened so suddenly that it didn't give Foster any time to think.
For the past ten days, Foster has always thought that Vega is stuck in his rhythm of war, but he doesn't know that it is not Vega who is really caught in the rhythm of war, but he Foster.
From the moment the dynastic army suddenly retreated, Vega had already exposed its sharp fangs.
And what about Foster?
He didn't have so much time to think about the stakes, so he could only reflexively give orders.
This battle.
From the moment Foster entered the Grand Canyon without thinking, defeat was already doomed.
Vega took advantage of Foster's heart of gain and loss.
If this strategy had given Foster enough time to think, he might have been able to see the loopholes, but unfortunately Vega was insidious in retreating suddenly, not giving Foster any time to think.
In addition, the information from the vanguard army came into contact with the Vega tail flank blocking force at the tail.
This would make Foster preconceived that the entire Grand Canyon was safe, after all, the pursuing vanguard army was not ambushed, how could they be ambushed, and they would not even think in this direction.
If you want to be figurative.
Probably like in a war, the death squad has used their lives to determine that there are no mines buried in this area, but who would have thought that what is buried in the ground is not a mine that explodes at the touch of a button, but a remote-controlled bomb?
Right now.
At the entrance to the canyon, there were 50,000 blockers in ambush, who watched as the main force of the empire entered the canyon without any action.
In the belly of the canyon, there are 200,000 main forces in ambush, which is the main decisive force.
At the end of the canyon, the Tail Blockade was engaged with the Vanguard.
In other words, Vega wants to ambush the Imperial army on Koro Mountain in the canyon, and when the Imperial army is defeated, whether it is to flee forward or to retreat back to the city of Ropps, it will be blocked, because the entire Grand Canyon has been closed by Vega.
"General, the enemy has come. ”
In the afternoon of the next day, the marching Imperial army finally appeared in Viga's field of vision.
They looked quite tired, after all, they had been chasing for almost a day and a night, and both their physical strength and energy had been consumed.
Vega has been resting here for more than seven hours, and the whole army has maintained quite abundant physical strength and basic combat effectiveness.
"Report to the general. ”
One after another battle reports continued to reach Vega's ears: "The enemy has entered the ambush circle, but they seem to be preparing to rest here in Koro Mountain, may I ask if the ambush is according to the original plan?"
"Wait. ”
Vega was not in a hurry.
Now that he is a hunter hiding in the shadows, what could be more exciting in this world than being a hunter watching his prey step into a trap step by step?
The eyes did not blink.
Vega watched the Imperial Army's every move from a distance through the telescope.
Foster, who was on the march, seemed to feel a gaze, and felt a sense of unease in his heart for no reason, and he glanced in the direction of Koro Mountain, of course, with the naked eye, he could not see anything.
Although he found nothing, Foster became more and more irritable.
This feeling of irritability is like a grain of sand in his eyes and a fish stuck in his throat, and it is difficult for him to be restless.
"What's wrong?"
Foster thought about it, but still didn't find anything suspicious, and in the end he only thought that this time there was a seventy percent chance that Vega would escape back to the northern hinterland, so it was difficult to calm down.
But what happened next made him understand one thing-
He was wrong.
Miss by a mile!
Boom Boom Boom –
Magic fell from the sky in his army, kicking up clouds of dirt and taking the lives of soldiers one by one.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Enemy flares rose from the left and right flanks, and Foster exclaimed, "Scout, Scout, what the hell is going on, why are we being ambushed?" ”
"Report to the Commander, something is wrong. ”
A few minutes later, a disgraced scout came to Foster: "The dynasty and the dynastic army have suddenly slaughtered from the Koro Mountain, our two flanks are under fierce attack, the defensive formation has been broken up before it can be deployed, our army cannot organize an effective counterattack force, please give the commander an order." ”
"How many enemy troops are there?"
"I don't know the exact number, but it can be seen from the battle that it is on a par with us. ”
"Comparable?"
Foster said incredulously, "Are you saying that the enemy has 200,000 ambushes?"
"Yes, Commander. ”
Foster opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Foster came to his senses.
Vega may not have wanted to retreat from the beginning, but wanted to trick him into a decisive battle in the Grand Canyon of Lops, so he deliberately let the vanguard army go, making him think that the entire Grand Canyon was safe, so he hurried forward without even thinking about sending a reconnaissance force.
"There is no cure for this step. ”
Foster let out a groan of pain.
If he did not send an army to pursue, Vega would be able to retreat to the northern hinterland through the retreat route unharmed, and he would have lost the opportunity to stay with Vega.
If you send an army in pursuit.
Then the current situation is a true portrayal, they have fallen into the trap.
So Foster had already figured out that either he would find out about it ten days ago, or he would be eaten by the Vega winner ten days later, but it would be almost impossible to discover Vega's plan ten days ago without any clues.
After all, he was a man, not a god.
And Vega, although not a god, is a devil who plays with people's hearts.
Now that they had come from afar, they were sleepy and lacking in horses, and they were attacked by the enemy from both flanks, and they could not even spread out their basic defensive formations, on the contrary, the dynastic army came prepared, and after a long ambush, it was completely clear who won and who lost.
In this battle, Foster no longer saw any hope.
"Ordered...... Breakthrough. ”
Despite his reluctance, Foster gave the order to break out.
But what awaited Foster was the beginning of a nightmare, when he was blocked by the 50,000 Dynasty troops lying in ambush at the entrance, he understood what it means to call the heavens and the earth to be spiritual.
"Hehe, it's done to this point. ”
Foster's eyes were full of confusion: "That little ghost is going to kill them all." ”
The battle lasted 7 hours, due to the long planning of Vega.
On the premise that he cut off all retreats, not a single Imperial army escaped from the Lops Grand Canyon, and in the end the Imperial army lost more than 70,000 deaths, about 12,000 escaped, and 160,000 surrendered, including the commander-in-chief Foster and other high-ranking officers were captured.
So far.
There is no more army to fight in the north of the empire.
