Immediately after the nobles had left, Earl Lockton asked, "Tell me, what can you do?"

"Water Attack!" replied Gray. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Water attack?" the Earl of Lockton questioned.

Gray nodded, then explained: "It's the rainy season, we can build a levee in the upper reaches of the Ernie River, and when the river is full of enough water, then destroy the levee, the monstrous water will swallow up Viscount Donna's army!"

Gray suppressed the excitement in his heart, perhaps fear, his hands trembled slightly, he knew that once his method was implemented, all the lives of the entire Northwest Territory of the Herion Territory would be destroyed, and countless innocent lives would be buried for it.

The Earl of Lockton was also taken aback by Gray's plan, but it was undoubtedly a good idea, if it was implemented, let alone recovering the lost territory, after the flood, he would immediately move westward, and the Harrons territory would be fully occupied.

"It's just that this flood could flood the territory of other lords! and the ordinary civilians of three towns!" Gray said everything that could come to his mind, and then lowered his head.

The Earl of Lockton stared at Gray, who had already lowered his head and waited for his decision, and said, "However, the enemy army will not give us much time to build a levee!"

Gray replied quickly, "With a magician, as long as there are enough magicians!"

Earl Lockton's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the door of the big tent, then returned to the handsome case, and then walked to the door again, and after repeating this several times, he fixed his body and said in a deep voice: "That's it, magician, I'll figure it out, and as for the matter of flooding other territories, give them a little compensation!"

The Earl of Lockton did not say what ordinary civilians should do!

"Also, don't get involved in this matter, I'll remember your credit! Your mission is to command the troops to evacuate to a safe position!" Seeing that Gray was about to respond, the Earl of Lockton preemptively arranged a task for him.

Gray was stunned, he looked at Count Lockton fixedly, the other party did this completely for his own consideration, this flood will not only drown Viscount Donna's army, but also about fifty or sixty thousand civilians will be affected, this notoriety will be carried for a lifetime.

"I have arranged for the group of refugees in the rear of the enemy army to contain the army of Viscount Donna for a day, and the water must arrive the morning after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise there will be variables!" Gray bowed his head and saluted, this time the etiquette was really from the heart.

"What else?"

"I promised the leaders of the refugees a whole bunch of things!" was so important that Gray had to say it alone.

Earl Lockton was stunned when he heard this, and his face remained unchanged, "Of course, I hope they will survive!" his voice became softer and softer the more he said this, and by the last three words he was completely inaudible.

The situation on the Erni front was uncertain by two fires, in which more than 10,000 soldiers were killed, and perhaps their souls watched the battle.

On the afternoon of 4 July, Viscount Donna was overjoyed to learn of the success of his plan, but his good mood did not last long, for when he sent out his army to exterminate the rebellious refugees in the rear, they were sent to the door themselves.

Just as Viscount Donna was surprised, he walked to the front of the military formation and looked at the size of the group of refugees in front of him, which startled the complacent, and he immediately received information from the scouts that the number of refugees was at least eight thousand.

If Viscount Donna hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't have believed it, he thought that the number of refugees who were causing trouble behind him would not exceed a thousand at most, but the people below had inflated the numbers in order to reduce their guilt.

Viscount Donna finally began to pay attention.

In fact, the concentration of so many refugees is thanks to Vic's efforts, and of course, Gray's promises!

Vic used his connections to meet the leaders of the various refugee groups in no time, and after he made a lot of promises, the leaders immediately agreed.

These leaders have completely forgotten the purpose of gathering the refugees in the first place, and now they only see these refugees who share their fate as a stepping stone to change their fate.

Of course, some of the leaders sternly refused, and Vic didn't dwell on it too much.

Viscount Donna's original plan was to settle the problem of the rear supply lines first, then reorganize the remaining army, and then seek an opportunity to fight the Earl of Lockton.

However, now Viscount Donna knew that his original plan could no longer be realized, and his only choice now was to retreat to his own territory! because, if he waited for the Earl of Lockton to catch his breath, his remaining 10,000 troops would surely counterattack at once, and then Viscount Donna's army would be flanked in front and rear, and defeat would be a matter of time.

Therefore, the fighter planes on the battlefield are fleeting.

Gray's original intention was to prevent Viscount Donna's troops from withdrawing from the battle line, so as not to let his 'water attack' plan go to waste.

If Gray now knows this information and chooses the troops to attack immediately, he can completely besiege Viscount Donna's troops in the town of Meiga, and this can also achieve the same effect!

It's just that there aren't so many ifs on the battlefield, Gray wouldn't have thought that the price he offered would make so many people excited, according to Gray's estimate, it would be a good result to have a thousand refugees.

Vic didn't know Gray's plan now, so he didn't go back to tell him, he was still running around, and he thought he understood Gray's plan.

The cavalry led by Mark did detect this, but when they arrived, they only mentioned that there were a large number of refugees in front of the army of Viscount Donna, and asked if they wanted to attack.

Gray's order was to keep them watching, waiting for orders.

The best fighter plane was delayed like this!

Viscount Donna was anxious to break through, he struck first, and the battle outside the town of Meijia soon began.

The rain continued to fall, and fighting in the rain was more advantageous for the lightly armed refugees, who roamed around and attacked, causing a lot of suffering for Viscount Donna's infantry squadron, but fortunately there were several brigades of archers in the rear.

Viscount Donna saw that his troops could not attack the defense line of the refugee group for a long time, and he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, the scout had just detected that thousands of cavalry in his rear were eyeing him, and the front could not be attacked for a long time, if it was delayed until the next day, the remaining more than 10,000 troops of the Earl of Lockton arrived, and there was only a dead end waiting for him.

The sky is not beautiful, the rain is constantly falling, and the battle has been continuous outside the town of Meijia, and the strong attack ordered by Viscount Donna has not succeeded in making him break through, but it has caused a lot of losses to the troops, and as time goes by, Viscount Donna is becoming more and more desperate.

But things soon took a dramatic turn!

The time soon came to noon on July 5, and not only did the main army of Lockton, which had made Viscount Donna jealous, appear, but the thousands of cavalry troops in their rear actually withdrew one after another.

Such a strange thing surprised Viscount Donna, and he even wondered if it was the Earl of Lockton who died suddenly! Then he got the information that the main army of the Earl of Lockton had retreated on a large scale, if it wasn't for the scouts who were sure that the Earl of Lockton was okay, he really thought that the Earl of Lockton had died violently!

More and more Qing intelligence proved that the main army of the Earl of Lockton had withdrawn from the Ernie River defenses.

This kind of strange thing made Viscount Donna reveal a bad premonition in his heart, and he instinctively felt that he should also find a way to get out of here.

When it was dark, the scouts reported that the refugee forces had suddenly retreated considerably, leaving less than a thousand men, but the suspicious Viscount Donna gave up this golden opportunity, and he quietly waited for the next day.
