Chapter Twenty-One: The Dawn Attack That Was Spotted

More than 2,000 men of the Bohemian Frontier Regiment left Probez in the middle of the night, and Ronio handed over the task of defending the city to the security team that arrived later.

Although the security force of only 400 people is nothing compared to the more than 20,000 inhabitants of Probez, the actions of the 2nd Frontier Regiment have already chilled the hearts of these Bavarians. So Ronio believes that this man should be able to suppress Probez.

In the moonlight that appeared from time to time, a long procession meandered forward, as if it were a giant centipede. The chilling glow of the moonlight is a deadly weapon that can kill your enemies at any moment.

Because this time the goal has been set, Ronio and his closest guards battalion no longer have to go to the front. Ronio had the other battalions act as the vanguard, while the Guards battalion was in the middle of the ranks.

Choosing to set off in the middle of the night, Ronio intends to attack Plevy at the break of dawn. Often, people are at their poorest at dawn. The guards who stayed up all night waited for their replacement, and the replacement was reluctant to go so quickly to take over.

Ronio hopes to seize this opportunity to crush the defenders stationed in Plevy in one fell swoop. If he succeeds in capturing Plevey, he will be able to hold on to the city until next spring.

These days, the temperature is changing significantly. If you guess correctly, there will be snowfall in the next few days. The first snow of the previous year will fall for a long time. This is also where Ronio's confidence lies, and he is confident that he can sustain the harvest of grain in Probez until next spring.

And even if the road is closed by heavy snow, he believes that the supplies behind him can be transported.

Of course, all this is Ronio's ideal plan. Without enough scouting for Plevey, he didn't know that the target city was already very different. Priviel, which is fully prepared, is not the undefended city that Ronio imagined.

In a corner of the city in Plevey, the closed stone room belonging to the command room of the city defense army is still lit. A middle-aged man in armor was still looking at the information sent back from the fallen Probez through various channels.

On the fourth day of the fall of the border town, the Bavarian Janissaries, originally stationed in the royal capital of Disrafa, had already moved in.

The Praetorian Guard, numbering less than 1,200 men, has always been the backbone of Bavaria. If it weren't for the urgency, they wouldn't have come here. However, if Plevy is also captured by Bohemia, they will have to fight the 2nd Tarlac Frontier Regiment under the city of Dislafa.

As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Diodos naturally could not sit idly by and watch this happen, so he took the order of King Rucario and brought almost two-thirds of the Praetorian Guard to assist in the defense.

After arriving in Plevy, he served as the leader of the Praetorian Guard. Diodos immediately issued an urgent order from the king to collect the city, and raised a city defense army of more than 1,000 men in the area. In addition to increasing Pliwick's manpower, the Janissary Commander Diodos set up an emergency committee.

He suggested that a temporary command center be formed with the mayor of Plevy and the commander of the city defense forces, Birch. Someone must be in the command room at all times. Guaranteed to react quickly when an enemy is coming. Even in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, make sure that one person is on duty.

Tonight, it was Diodos' turn to stay in the war room, and at this moment he was looking at a piece of information sent back from the front line and fell into deep thought.

"This afternoon, the wolf's den became restless. Hungry wolves may be preparing to forage. But no one knows when they'll leave?"

Theodos was puzzled by such information. Although it had been seven days since Probez had been captured by the enemy, the enemy had not moved. This strange behavior made Diodos a little puzzled.

You must know that Probez is less than thirty kilometers away from Plevey, and with a little effort, the enemy can easily kill the city, so why didn't the old ghost do it?

There was no point in finding out why the enemy hadn't attacked, and Diodos had to make a decision for the information he had. If the restless hungry wolf is ready to leave, it must be locked up for a plot.

Plevey is the only gateway to Disrafa, if the Bohemians do something. It must be for itself.

After some consideration, Diodos said to the herald, who was napping beside him:

"Inform the Scout Cavalry. Immediately go in the direction of Probez and search, and if you encounter an enemy, you must send the information back as soon as possible. ”

Only two hours later, Ronio, who had not noticed the change in front of him, was detected by the cavalry sent by Diodos, but Ronio and his men did not notice the reconnaissance cavalry rushing in the dark.

After the exact information was fed back to the war room, Diodos muralized the map based on the intelligence. After some speculation, he finally understood Ronio's tactics. The arrogant Ronio planned to launch a surprise attack on Plevy in the early morning.

"Go, call up the border guards and the Praetorian Guards. Diodos picked up the helmet on the table and put it on, "We're going to surprise these sneaky bastards and have a fight with him outside the city!"

The moonlight had long since sunk, and the moment before dawn turned out to be the darkest existence.

From time to time, some cold wind blew through the ears, and the cold that penetrated the armor made many people shiver in the darkness. But this level of cold was nothing to Naxi, and he couldn't even feel the difference between the temperature around him and the summer day.

In addition to being more resistant to the cold than ordinary people, Naxi's eyesight is also outstanding. Although the surroundings were already in darkness at this moment, and normal people could only see about twenty meters away, Naxi could clearly see the front and back of the team, as well as the winding road under his feet.

I don't know how long I walked in this oppressive atmosphere before Naxi saw a look of anticipation on the distant horizon.

Soon, this original expectation turned into Naxi's surprise.

Although he was sure that the anomaly was the walls of Plevå, the Bavarian army was waiting for it.

Looking at the neat military posture lined up in front of the city wall, many soldiers of the Second Frontier Regiment who were walking in front had already panicked inexplicably.

"What, the enemy is ready?"

"It's dense, it looks like a lot of people!"

"What can we do, didn't we say it was a raid, and I still want to go in for breakfast!"

Seeing the panicked appearance of his subordinates, Ronio couldn't help but get angry: "What are you yelling about! Change your strategy and line up to meet them! Their main force is still in the mountains of Monria, don't be deceived by those farmers!"

In Ronio, it must be improvised recruits standing in the way. Although he didn't know how they knew about their plans, he was sure that these rabble would not be able to withstand their own shock. (To be continued......)
