Chapter 364: Tanan's Choice

Highly recommended:

"What do you think?"

After waving off the heralds of the former army who had come to report to him, Tanan carefully studied the map.

Based on the terrain he had and what he had just calculated, he had roughly guessed the intentions of the enemy, who did not want to engage them, but merely pointed them in the direction, and if they continued to follow the rangers eastward, they would reach the Crimean valley in three days.

The tail ends of the two mountain ranges stretched parallel to the Gobi, and such a narrow terrain would be very unfavorable to the deployment of the army, causing their numerical superiority to be meaningless, and it seems that the enemy was thinking of this.

However, if they did not follow the enemy's direction and occupy Cleggmore, they could have left the city of treachery or planted sand diagonally, and it was another cycle of pursuit.

It wasn't a difficult decision to make, but Tanan had to respect Jag's opinion, he was the current leader of the Barbarians, but he was a true ancestor.

"It seems that Lear knows that we have no more choice, that we are guests from afar, and since he has set the decisive place in Crimea, then we will go, but it is up to him how and when to go. ”

It wasn't surprising that Lear believed so much in defeating Jugg with less, he hadn't treated the young man as a normal human since his last experience, especially the crazy counterattack on the verge of death, but in the same way, Lear no longer had any secrets to the barbarians when he was born.

"Then so be it, the whole army marches east!"

The muffled trumpets began to echo in the moonlight, and then the huge barbarian army slowly turned to the east like a slow-moving python, and by this time Talohir had just led his army back less than five kilometers, but what made him even more depressed was the order that came with the news of the eastward advance.

Tanan ordered him not to pursue the enemy's rangers on his own, and to follow the enemy eastward at a normal pace.

.............................

"My lord, it seems that the enemy is aware of our intentions. ”

Under the moonlight, Evan had changed back into Spartacus's military uniform, and at this time he was riding on the back of a strong warhorse, and his slightly trembling shoulders showed that the excitement of the battle royale was still affecting his body.

"Hmm. ”

Ivozema stood and looked out at the slowly moving barbarian army in the distance, and since the enemy had understood their intentions, the mission was a success, and judging from the unresponsive attitude of the barbarians they had harassed many times, it seemed that there was no point in staying here any longer.

"What are we going to do next?

Ai Wen continued, but although he said this, the glint in his eyes did not mean to die down at all, obviously the fight just now was too exciting for a young man like him, and he wanted to come a few more times.

"Hang them first, there is still a lot of time, don't rush. ”

Ivo gently urged his horse to gallop forward, although the most basic goal had been achieved, but such a small result obviously did not satisfy him, since Lear gave him the right to act cheaply, then he also wanted to gnaw a piece of meat on Tanan's body.

Anyway, all he brought with him were high-powered light cavalry, and as long as the barbarians didn't release the ghost beasts and thunderbirds, then the initiative to fight would always be in his hands, and if the barbarians really did that, it would be a big deal to pat their butts and leave.

At the same time, on another avenue hundreds of kilometers away from the barbarian army, a forest of spears reflected a cold light in the moonlight, and Mlak galloped at the front of the group, and the direction they traveled was the shining sand city that the barbarians had just left.

...................................

In the Crimean Valley, the main Spartacus army led by Lear had all arrived here before sunset, except for the Crystal Dragons and the Sea Eagle Legion led by Ilor, the remaining soldiers had all been stationed in the valley, and hundreds of artillery pieces were lined up at the mouth of the valley, followed by the infantry swordsmen led by Haag and Guina, because Ivo was not there, the musketeer phalanx was temporarily under the command of Jeremy.

Seven thousand men is not a lot, but there are hardly many maneuvers in the valley, and this level of congestion would be very passive if the enemy launched an air attack, but Lear was not worried about this in the slightest.

Although the barbarian Thunderbird army has an absolute advantage in numbers, the air-to-ground attack effect that can be played in a real war is very limited, especially in the face of the Spartacus army, the dense muskets can definitely surprise the swooping Thunderbirds.

Moreover, if the two armies really engage in battle, due to the terrain restrictions, the troops that can be put into the battlefield at the same time will definitely not exceed 10,000, which is the main reason why Lear adopts this way of arranging troops.

He wanted to use the absolute suppression of weapons and equipment and the coordination of arms to make Spartacus's army a crazy turning meat grinder, exerting unlimited power in limited strategic terrain.

Barbarians are not like the Terrans who do not have a holy knight that can forcibly tear apart the battle array, although their wolf fighters have a speed slightly inferior to the Terran cavalry, but the light armor and weapons make it impossible for them to have the lethality and ability to break through the cavalry, and if Tanan finally releases the ghost beast, the crystal dragon group behind him will definitely leave a shadow that cannot be erased for the barbarians.

This battlefield has not yet begun, but everything has been designed by Lear, and in his vision the barbarians have almost no chance of winning, and the only uncertainty is the soul-descending Jag, who still does not know what kind of power the other party has, but since Kunsha said that he can stop it, then he does not have too many doubts.

"My lord, all the troops and equipment have been inspected, and the muskets and artillery are all in a state of imminent battle, waiting for the barbarians to come, but such an obvious trap, will they really come?"

On Lear's orders, Jeremy had just inspected all the armies to make sure that every musket and artillery was safe in wartime, which had become the norm for the Spartacus army before the war, so Jeremy was familiar with execution.

"Order the troops to rest in place without taking off their armor, they will definitely come. ”

Lear silently looked at the full moon in the west, this decisive battle was just an obstacle on his way, but it was extremely important for the barbarians, so the other party must be more anxious than him.

Even though he was on the battlefield, his thoughts had drifted farther away, and after the battle was over, he would take Kunsha back to Spartacus, and the battle on another battlefield would begin at the same time.
