The army opened, of course, it can't be hidden from those who have a heart.

Although there are no military satellites in this world, there is strategic magic that can carry out rough reconnaissance of a large area, and there are air forces that can cruise at high altitude and observe the situation on the ground at any time. While the costs of both are significant, they are both bearable and must be borne by the state.

Therefore, the Thracian army set out from the border, and before it officially left the territory of the Thracian kingdom, the kingdom of Terrera had already discovered it.

In the game, the Thracians attacked Trera in three ways, and according to the plot, Trella didn't notice it - at least not until the Thracians came down to the city. Therefore, it will lead to a total rout on all fronts, and this war has fallen behind from the beginning.

However, games are different from reality, and if the "history" in the game wants to become "reality", it must naturally meet the conditions of reality.

The three-way army attacked together, and Terrella's magicians and air force didn't know anything? Then they were either bribed to be moles, or they were addicted to mobile phones and affected their eyesight!

Anthony was woken up at night by the intelligence officer, who he promoted to a young man, but he was usually quite calm and had a youthful feel. But today, he looked panicked, and there was a paleness on his face that was difficult to hide.

"Your Excellency, word has come from the royal capital, saying that a Thracian army is heading for the border, look in the direction...... It's coming from us!"

Of course, Antony knew about this, the Thracian cavalry had just left the city, and the rock band that was touring there had already told everyone the news. So he said unhurriedly: "Calm down! Don't say that we may not lose this battle, and even if we want to lose it, we will not need to worry until the Thracians come and fight." What are you doing in a panic right now?"

The intelligence officer nodded again and again, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"What exactly did the royal capital say?" asked Anthony.

"Judging from the results of the magic detection, there should be about 10,000 soldiers in front, and there are relatively few baggage and auxiliary soldiers in the follow-up, and the ratio of troops is a little strange. The intelligence officer said.

Anthony was stunned for a moment, frowned, didn't say anything, nodded to indicate that he knew, and asked the intelligence officer to step back.

After the intelligence officer left, he hurriedly opened the chat channel and asked eagerly, "Is there anyone on the southeastern border of Thrace?" How many people are there in the Thracian army?"

The harmony of the raiders group immediately replied: "According to the plot, it should be the vanguard of 3,000 cavalry, followed by 5,000 infantry, a total of 8,000 people." ”

"But just now there was news from the royal capital, saying that there are tens of thousands of soldiers alone, and the baggage and auxiliary soldiers are still uncertain......"

The traversers were taken aback and asked what was going on.

They are no longer the otaku scholars they were when they first crossed over, after a few years of wandering, many people have a considerable understanding of military affairs and war, especially such as Yunero, Nicholas and others, who are already pulling the team to erect flags and establish their own military forces. They naturally know that "troop strength" and "combat strength" are completely different things, and "soldiers" and "soldiers" are also two completely different concepts.

10,000 troops, nothing to fear. If the Tara Khan Commander wishes, it will only take a few days to pull out an army of twenty or thirty thousand.

But 10,000 soldiers ...... It's a little scary.

A soldier means a soldier who has undergone off-the-job training and has reached a certain level of military capability and discipline. If there is no confrontation with an army of the same level, just a few thousand soldiers are enough to sweep away tens of thousands of ordinary troops.

This is like the famous Battle of Changping in ancient China, the Zhao army said that there were 400,000 troops, but in fact, the number of soldiers was not much, and the main force that constituted this 400,000 army was the Shangdang people who took up arms to escape the harsh rule of the Qin State, many of them were even just people - according to the estimation that one soldier with three auxiliaries was estimated, the Zhao army did not exceed 100,000 soldiers at most.

The so-called army of 400,000 is actually just a bloated fat pig. It was enough to win the battle, and once they fell into the unfavorable terrain and were surrounded, the morale of those auxiliaries suddenly fell to almost nothing. Even if Zhao Kuo knew a lot of combat strategies, in order to avoid the collapse of the whole army, he could only honestly set up camp and wait for support - he had no choice, once the battle failed, the entire army was likely to collapse completely at once. In fact, it was precisely because he had been waiting for reinforcements for many days, and finally tried to break through and died in battle, the 400,000-strong army surrendered at once.

Auxiliaries can't do without him, but many times, they are really dragging their feet. Why was Qin able to defeat the rest of the countries? Several great victories led by Bai Qi annihilated the elite troops of various countries, which was one aspect; Qin's auxiliaries were far more capable of fighting than those of other countries, and they played a decisive role in both the Qin-Zhao War and the Qin-Chu War, which was also an extremely important reason.

With the strength of Tara Khan, there are only no more than 4,000 soldiers at the moment - the new army directly under the earl under Anthony's training has about 2,000 people, and the various lords under his command should be able to make up 2,000 people. This is almost bankrupt, and it is impossible to make up more.

But the Thracians pulled out 10,000 soldiers at once! Are they really going to fight Trella?

"South-eastern Thracian border, we can get there as soon as possible. The sword mage Brad said, "I just happen to have time during this time, so let's take a run." ”

"I'm flying that way. Atlas the Griffon said, "When we get there, I'll scout and tell you the details." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Atlas first spotted the Thracian army preparing to set up camp.

Looking at the orderly army below, he was suddenly startled, and was about to take a closer look, but suddenly felt a murderous aura attacking, and quickly dodged without saying a word.

But he was still a little late, and a sharp arrow shot up from the ground into the sky, hitting him in the left chest. Neither the light chain mail nor the strong body could stop the arrow, and as the arrow pierced through the body, the intense poison was released.

"Damn! Piercing Arrows, it's a poisonous arrow...... Atlas only had time to curse, and then he turned into a point of light in the air and disappeared without a trace.

Moments later, he was resurrected in the halls of the castle, his face gloomy.

"What's the matter? Didn't you go to investigate?" Sanyu asked in surprise, "Did you encounter the other party's air force interception?" or was you beaten by the mage on the ground?"

"Neither. Atlas said in a deep voice, "I had someone kill an arrow with a legendary skill - in that army, there is the 'Sky Bow' Emmyvi Sisling!"
