Chapter 703: Leading the Way

The two armies faced each other.

On one side is the 100,000 soldiers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom stationed in Tully City.

On the other side, more than 300,000 Jialan troops were stationed on the flanks of the city of Tully, about 200 miles away.

The Viga side was aggressive, obviously determined to win the city of Tully, and the 100,000 defenders of the city of Tully were not as uneasy and frightened as they imagined because they were ordered by Augustus to retreat at a critical moment.

Because everyone knows that if you can't beat it, you can still run.

And Vega did not rush to attack, in the three days of landing, he just ordered the army to set up camp, and then sent scouts to reconnoiter the inside and outside of the city of Tully, the air force did not use it casually, after all, the enemy has a more flexible flying dragon.

After three days of exploring.

Vega learned from the soldiers that Augustus had given them permission to retreat in the event of an outbreak, which made Vega almost certain that the main army was not here, but within the Saint Laurent defenses.

Then things are simple.

There is no need to use conventional siege warfare in this battle, as long as the momentum is created before the war, and the opponent is given an invincible tough posture when the war starts, the enemy will retreat immediately, and he can successfully take the city of Tully.

When the retreat does not violate the order.

Then no one will choose to fight hard knowing that they may be defeated.

Death in this way will not only not be honored, but will also be disgraced.

Vega is ready to grasp the enemy's psychology to make a fuss, and come to a bloody battle, for Vega, who is short of soldiers, every division is a very precious existence, and it can't be wasted here.

So here's the problem.

How to scare the other side and force them to withdraw from Tully City?

This is not difficult for Vega.

He looked to Thea Saint Laurent.

With this enhanced star mage who is proficient in two magics, it would be a breeze to force a break through the defenses of a medium-sized city, and it would be enough to give the enemy a dismount.

Under this premise, the enemy can only move into the city to fight.

Because of the reliance on the city to carry out street battles, it is difficult for the star magician to use magic, and a large area of magic will kill the enemy at the same time, it will also destroy the house and injure his own people or civilians.

So what is really difficult is how to make the enemy retreat in the subsequent war.

At this time, it is necessary to build momentum before the war.

Therefore, Vega took his soldiers to the city of Tali that day to show off his might.

Da Da Da –

War horses trampled the earth.

It is a squad of about ten mages, and they are made up of eight shadow mages and two elemental mages.

Vega was at the forefront, leading such a team on the national highway towards the city of Tully, and he did not hide his tracks and figures, so that the enemy scouts could see it, but Vega did not seem to care.

He's very fast.

The Scout's speed couldn't even catch up with him, so after this race, Vega actually rushed to the main gate of Tully City ahead of the Scout, and ordered two fire mages to start casting spells.

Boom Boom Boom –

As the chanting of the two elemental mages fell, a large fireball released by the two mages together slammed into the city gate in a straight line, because Vega came too suddenly, so without anyone stopping it, this large fireball smashed open the city gate, making a huge sound, and this sound even reached the military camp not far from the main gate.

"What sound?"

The commander of the vanguard was the commander of the Silver Dragon Legion, Palitzer Gulni.

He was thinking about how to force out Vega's god mage next, and at what right time to retreat according to Augustus' order, when he was frightened by this loud voice, and his face changed.

"Soldier!

In the midst of his loud shouting, it happened that the soldiers at the city gate also arrived here.

"Enemy, enemy attack! Commander, the enemy has broken through the city gates!"

The soldier said anxiously, and the news also made Palizemon happy.

He said angrily: "Why didn't I receive the information in advance, what are the reconnaissance troops doing?"

In general, large units march slowly, while small reconnaissance units tend to be fast. In most cases, even if the enemy intends to sneak attack, once a large force is close to the station, the scout will send him information in advance, so that he can use this time to temporarily organize a counterattack or establish a simple defensive line.

But today it was too sudden.

It was obviously a serious siege battle, and even the city gate was destroyed, so he realized it later.

When did the army of the Jialan Empire have this speed?

"Immediately ordered the defenders to abandon the city gates, which were no longer able to be armed, and we turned to urban warfare. ”

After a pause, Palitzer said: "If the situation is already precarious, abandon the city of Tully in advance, and the whole army will join the main army in the direction of the city of Saya, and we will go directly to the second step of the plan." ”

"That, Commander. ”

The soldier was rather embarrassed and said: "Things may not be as bad as imagined, the number of enemies is only 11......"

"How much?"

"11, 11 ......"

"Are you fooling me?"

"Please forgive me, Commander, and I dare not deceive you. ”

"Tell me clearly. ”

It was only under Palitzer's orders that the soldiers explained the situation clearly.

"Vega Saint Laurent alone with a squad of mages?"

Palitzer frowned and said: "No wonder I didn't receive information from the reconnaissance force, if there were only eleven people, those soldiers of the reconnaissance force really couldn't keep up with the pace of this team, but what can eleven people do here? ”

I was very confused.

Palitzer finally walked out the door, and there were only 11 people, and he didn't have to worry about his safety: "Go to the castle tower, I want to see what he wants to do." ”

On the tower of the city, the banner of the holy dragon hunted in the wind.

As soon as Palitzer approached the tower, he saw that the gate had been torn apart, and the light of the fire on it had not yet been extinguished.

There is not much attention paid to the broken city gates.

Palitzer walked up to the tower, walked to the middle, and looked straight ahead.

What catches your eye is eleven warhorses lined up in two rows.

In the back row were ten horses, on which sat magicians in black cloaks, two of whom held staves and the rest with short swords in their hands.

And so on.

In the first row, there was only one of the strongest horses, which was obviously Vega Saint Laurent's.

But the war horse was empty, and there was no sign of Vega Saint Laurent.

Where did Vega go?

Palitzer Gurni's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He turned his head with difficulty, and he didn't know when there was an extra figure beside him.
