The celebration banquet was very lively, but it was only for the soldiers participating in the battle, and the middle and high-ranking officers did not participate.

The Great War has just begun, and the victory during the day is only part of the whole battle.

Generals still have to keep their spirits up and be ready for the next challenges.

The pursuit of the low-level soldiers is very simple, as long as they can drink enough meat and drink, it is their happiest time.

The celebration was only a superficial reason, but in fact it was to allow the soldiers to quickly replenish their consumption.

Whether it is the Hessian Kingdom or the Alpha Kingdom, most of the low-level soldiers lack nutrition.

The situation of the cavalry was better, but it was limited to the fact that the belly could be filled, and there was still a lack of oil and water.

The war during the day was a great victory, but the soldiers were also consumed, and many of them could not lift their arms now.

Meat is replenished and consumed, and wine invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis. In order to speed up the recovery of the soldiers, magic potions were also added to the drinks.

In the era of cold weapons, these were basic operations.

As night fell, the celebration of the cavalry camp continued, and the infantry were already drooling with envy and jealousy.

The original fear of the enemy army is no longer so strong under the double stimulation of victory and gluttony.

As night fell, countless centipede soldiers were ready to go, and the huge movement quickly attracted the attention of the coalition forces.

Coalition Command.

"Marshal, there is a huge movement in the enemy camp, and it is suspected that he is going to fight us at night!"

The news brought by the guards did not surprise everyone.

Night battles are almost standard for the Inner Race, and they choose to start at night in almost every major battle.

Everyone would be surprised if the Tiancentric Race changed its routine and attacked during the day.

"Pass the order, and the battalions will be on strict guard."

Hudson said calmly.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, the coalition forces also made preparations.

Once the flames of battle are lit, magic lamps will illuminate the entire battlefield, turning night into day.

Although it is not possible to completely reverse the disadvantage of night combat, it is not completely suppressed by the enemy.

"Marshal, the enemy has just suffered a defeat and immediately launched a counterattack, and something seems to be wrong.

According to the analysis of previous battle examples, most of the high-level Centipedes of Macrofoot Centipede are relatively stable and will not be so impulsive.

During the day, a large number of routs were withdrawn from outside the city, and even if the enemy wanted to attack, they had to settle down first! ”

Governor Pierce said suspiciously.

As a general who has commanded more than 100,000 troops, he knows very well that the influx of more than 200,000 troops into the city will not be able to settle down in a while.

There was no preparation in advance, and it was not possible to coordinate the stationing of the various units in a few hours.

Not to mention, these evacuated troops also brought the feeling of defeat into the city.

Under normal circumstances, the high-level Giantfoot Centipede would not have time to appease the morale of the army at the moment, and they would not have the time to launch a counterattack at all.

Compared to the Giant Foot Centipede, the Coalition should have attacked.

It's a pity that there are too many parallel goods in the coalition army, and it's okay to bluff, once a siege war is launched, it is easy to let these parallel goods go.

"Your Excellency the Earl is right, the enemy really shouldn't attack now.

To make such a big move, if it is not for the attack, then it is to run away.

Judging from the information gathered, there is no harmony between the Giantfoot Centipede and the Demon Crocodile Clan, and there are many wars in the Inner World.

When two hostile races come together, even if they have a common strategic purpose, they cannot be truly intimately united.

Now that the Demon Crocodile Clan is attacking Palma Province, and the Giant Foot Centipede is responsible for stopping us, they are most likely unwilling to do so.

After suffering such a big loss during the day, the high-level leaders who estimated the Giant Foot Centipede were already shaken in their hearts, and they didn't even have any hope of victory.

If they believe in their hearts that our 300,000-strong army is elite, then it is not surprising that they chose to run away.

Of course, there is also a very small probability that the enemy is using the evacuation as bait and wants to catch us.

Take advantage of your ability to fight at night and defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop! ”

Hudson said with a smile.

The big victory during the day was purely accidental, and I originally just wanted to play a trick to take advantage of the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the enemy had no defense against the cavalry, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.

The big victory in a daze, the outside world thinks that he used his soldiers like a god, and Hudson can't come out to explain.

The impact of the unexpected blow on the giantfoot centipede was huge.

The morale of the army, which had finally recovered, was once again sluggish, and the shadow of defeat in front of it emerged again.

Once it is determined that the coalition forces are all elite, the Giantfoot Centipede higher-ups will inevitably choose to run away, because this is their best choice.

"Marshal, the enemy is not so vulnerable, is it?

Although they suffered a lot of losses during the day, the losses of troops were not large.

The cost of the magic crossbow is very high, and the entire army can't get together 10,000 pairs. In the event of a full-scale war, these weapons do not directly determine the outcome of the war! ”

The Marquis of Simeone asked incredulously.

When he mentioned the magic crossbow, he secretly regretted it in his heart.

If he had known that this thing was used intensively and that it was so powerful, he would have already equipped it in his family's private army.

Look at the private armies of the Coslow family and the Dalton family, who doesn't have thousands of magic crossbows!

The cost is indeed a little higher, but gritting his teeth and living a frugal life, he can still equip it.

If he had this family background before the war, the battle to defend the city would definitely not be so hard, and if he could not do it, he would be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy army and start his reputation as the Marquis of Simeone.

"Haha......

Your Excellency Marquis, you know the situation in the coalition forces, but the enemy does not know.

Let's see, if the enemy wants to retreat, he will definitely launch a feint as cover. ”

Hudson shook his head.

The information is different, and the decisions made are naturally different. Thinking in the enemy's situation is an essential skill for a good general.

But Hudson wouldn't have said these things.

Being able to comprehend it is a talent, and it needs to be reminded by outsiders, and it is better not to lead troops.

The most taboo on the battlefield is to know only a little about it, and if you can't play strategy and tactics, then you can fight directly and steadily.

Forcibly copying rigid routines will only harm others and oneself.

"Marshal, if the enemy forces are to evacuate, can we do something?"

A young general was eager to try.

The evacuation of hundreds of thousands of troops is a big project. Especially when there is a strong enemy behind you, the slightest mistake can turn into a big rout.

In an instant, the eyes of all the generals in the command lit up, waiting for Hudson to make a choice.

"Now is not the time, the enemy may just have to evacuate, and there is also a small probability that it is a trap.

The night is the world of the inner races, and our ten combat effectiveness is at most three or four points, even if the sneak attack is successful, it may not be able to achieve the desired results.

Let's wait for the enemy to evacuate from the city and see if there is a chance. ”

Hudson vetoed decisively.

A sneak attack at night may seem good, but it also depends on who the opponent is.

The Macrofoot Centipede has lived in a dark place since it was a child, and it fights these guys at night, purely because of its own shortcomings.

I don't know how many battles can be achieved, anyway, the coalition forces will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Veterans are not elites, and even if they look similar, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

If he really fights out and is pushed back by others, his reputation will be ruined.

What's more, even if you succeed in doing things, there is not much benefit.

The non-stop bluff all the way is not only to boost the morale of the army, but also to intimidate the enemy.

Now that the plan has succeeded, the enemy has run away, so why stop it!

It won't be long before reinforcements from the Terran Alliance arrive, and although the two enshrinement groups are not large in number, they are all strong.

Such a force, in the hands of ordinary generals, can only contain the enemy's high-end forces.

If it were in Hudson's hands, he would never be so rigid.

Anyway, on the racial battlefield, there are no rules.

Now that the Giant Foot Centipede let go of its path and let them pass, the Demon Crocodile Clan would definitely be dissatisfied.

Of course, the giant foot centipede is also very dissatisfied at the moment.

After all, the Demon Crocodile Clan's strokes were too obvious in the battle in the province of Parma.

On the surface, it is cautious, but this reason cannot be accepted by the giant-footed centipede.

It seems that it has only been a few days, but in fact, a rift has already developed between the two clans who are temporarily cooperating, and the next step is to amplify this rift.

……

Above the city walls.

"Is the enemy not moving?"

The Centipede King asked, looking at the coalition camp ahead.

Tonight's evacuation is crucial for the Giantfoot Centipede clan, and there is no room for deviation.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

What we were staring at all the time was that the enemy camp was brightly lit and noisy, and it seemed that a celebration banquet was being held.

There are drunks everywhere, and even if the enemy finds out about our movements, their cavalry can't lift their guns at the moment! ”

Marshal Howell immediately assured.

Can't fail again!

The aura of a famous general on his body has faded, and if he loses again, his military career will come to an end, and he will even have to take his life.

He has already learned the gold content of "the first general in the mainland".

Even if he wanted to break Hudson into pieces in his heart, when he came to the real battlefield, he still didn't want to meet this strong enemy.

"Humph!

Don't forget, the enemy's Warcraft Legion has not yet been dispatched, and the cavalry may not be fully involved in the battle.

Tell the troops in charge of the palace that they must be cautious and do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it! ”

The Centipede King commanded with a gloomy face.

It is obvious that the anger generated during the day has not subsided. He also had doubts about Marshal Howell's military command ability.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

This time, I will personally lead the team of His Royal Highness, if there is another accident......"

Marshal Howell's military order made the centipede king's expression soothe slightly, but the faces of the centipedes present became ugly.

Anyone can see that Marshal Howell's military order was forced.

Even if he usually didn't deal with Marshal Howell, he looked at him with sympathy at the moment.

A great war could break out at any time, and the estrangement between the king and the marshal was not a good thing for the rest of the situation.

But this kind of thing, they can't open their mouths to persuade them.

……

"Kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing pierced the silence of the night, as if thousands of troops had launched a charge.

The magic lights in the coalition camp were already lit, and they were all illuminated as if they were all daylight in a circle of three hundred meters around the camp.

The magic crystal cannon readjusted its angle, the magic crossbows and archers were on standby, and the infantry was even more in formation, ready to participate in the battle at any time.

Seeing the enemy army waiting for the battle, the centipede soldiers who launched the charge were apprehensive.

The face was even more indignant, the main force was about to evacuate, and the unfortunate task of staying behind to cover fell on their heads.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The familiar sound of a rain of arrows sounded, and a quick-reacting centipede soldier immediately fell to the ground.

After seeing this scene, the companions around him are choosing to follow. It's a pity that he was still a step slower after all, and his body had been pierced by arrows.

Screams kept ringing in his ears, and the centipede soldiers lying on the ground did not dare to move at all.

Fortunately, tonight was a feint, and the charging centipede soldiers were very scattered, and they seemed to be huge, but in fact there were not many troops participating in the battle.

Otherwise, just stepping on it will kill his centipede.

Luck couldn't always be with him, and soon one of his companions fell to the ground with an arrow, which fell directly into his body.

A scream came out of his mouth, without causing the slightest ripple. There were wounded soldiers all over the place who were constantly wailing, and it was nothing to have one more of him.

It's just that Ke Guluo soon noticed that something was wrong, and the centipede that was pressing on him actually showed a smile on his face after turning over.

Where is the arrow, it is clearly playing dead.

Looking around, Ke Guluo was surprised to find that there were many centipedes who had made the same choice as him.

It can be seen that these guys are all veterans, and they have more experience in pretending to die than him.

Compared with him falling directly to the ground, everyone was covered with colors, but none of them hurt the vital point.

"What do you look at, kid, you dare to pretend to be dead without even a little blood on your body, you don't want to die!

Count your boy's fate and meet me with a kind heart.

Later, I will flutter a few times on the corpse, get a bloody stain, and get a little wound before going back. ”

The words of his companion brought him to a new world, and playing dead emotionally is also a technical job.

His intuition told him that his companions were hostile to him. If it weren't for the uncertainty, he would already be a dead centipede.

opened his mouth to remind, most of them were worried that he would have an accident and implicate himself.

"Don't worry, I have experience!"

Ke Gu Luo Qiang said calmly.

It's just that the comparison between his companion, who is covered in blood, and his own self, which is covered in dirt, is obviously not convincing.

Glancing around, Ke Guluo was surprised to find that there were not a few corpses moving.

They're not the only ones who are playing dead!

But no matter how many people pretend to be dead, there are not as many as they really die. In the moment of hesitation, the blood of his companion sprayed all over him.

It seems that he doesn't need to be deliberately disguised, he can also become a blood man.

Glancing back at the scar on his companion's face, he gritted his teeth, already having an idea in his heart.

"Boom ......"

The roaring magic crystal cannon sounded, and the cannonballs flew directly in the dark night, and what they exploded was all up to luck.

The feint plan was very successful, and the army began to move out of the city one after another, while the enemy army remained in the camp.

Marshal Howell, who was in command, did not have the slightest joy on his face.

Tonight's mission seems to be successfully completed, but judging by the performance of the enemy, he has already determined that they have won the trick this time!

No matter how much cover is carried out, it is impossible to completely cover up the movement of the army out of the city.

If you look at the enemy's muzzle, you can see that they are always aiming near the city, intentionally or unintentionally.

Once or twice is a coincidence, one after another coincidence, that's too much.

Having seen the truth, there is nothing he can do now. When the evacuation operation begins, it is not something that can be stopped if you want to.

What's more, this is just speculation, and even if it is said, few of the middle and high-level members of the clan will believe it.

If you guess wrong, the consequences will be serious, and everyone can't afford to gamble.

Reason told him that something was going to happen tonight. The feint mission went too smoothly, and it went so smoothly that it was abnormal.

If it weren't for the enemy's deliberate letting them through, they would have discovered the perfunctory nature of their attack a long time ago.

In fact, Marshal Howell also wanted to play a trick more like that, but the tribes below were not fools.

Taking on this unfortunate and tragic task is already considered to be loyal to the race. If you let everyone go desperately, he, the marshal, will not be able to give the order himself.

"The order of the six wings is down, and the troops are on increased alert, and the enemy may have intrigues.

Privately hint to them that we just need to delay until dawn and then we can evacuate this place! ”

Marshal Howell ordered with a solemn expression.

It is true that the troops can be withdrawn at dawn, but they must also be able to hold out until dawn.

As the rear troops, their mission is not just a feint.

Once the enemy pursues, they also have the heavy responsibility of holding back the enemy forces and buying time for the departure of the main force.

If the morale of the army is high, the soldiers are willing to fight to the death, and carry out this kind of task, there is still the possibility of retreating.

Now the situation in the camp, you don't have to look at him to know that there must be a lot of complaints below.

……
