The weakening of enemy artillery fire was a complete surprise.

Before the plan began, Marshal Kanter had no idea that the flying dust would affect the enemy's artillery.

After discovering this, his mind diverged. As long as the line of sight is covered, it can affect the lethality of the enemy's artillery.

In addition to digging up the dust that blows up, then the smoke can also do it.

As for the means of magic, not to mention. Even obscuring the line of sight would be better, the only downside is that it's a bit of a magician.

Problems that can be solved by physical means, and resolutely do not use magical means, this is the quality that a commander of the army should have.

Weakening does not mean stopping, as long as the artillery fire roars in the ears, the soldiers cannot sleep peacefully.

Digging a pit temporarily relieved everyone's anxiety, but it did not help to defeat the enemy army.

If you want to win, you still need a large army to take the initiative.

Deep down, Marshal Kanter more than once secretly scolded Hudson as a shrunken turtle.

Obviously having the upper hand, they didn't know how to attack. As soon as the enemy attackes, the arrangement in front of them will be able to work.

The superiority of troops can only be reflected when there is a close encounter.

Now in such a confrontation, no matter how obvious the superiority in forces is, it is meaningless.

Fight back, you have to fight back!

As the minutes passed, the enemy's firepower became confusing, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, confusing the demon crocodiles.

"Marshal, what is the enemy doing?

Magic crystals are a scarce resource in the surface world, so aimlessly, Hudson is not afraid of settling accounts with him in China! ”

The Demon Crocodile King asked suspiciously.

Although he had not been in the surface world for a long time, he had heard of the poverty of the Alpha Kingdom.

In a poor jingle country, saving is a compulsory course.

The king's annuity can only be owed all the time, and whoever dares to spend extravagantly is the undying enemy of the treasury.

"Your Majesty, this is the enemy's sinister intentions!

We marched overnight and dug countless huge pits, and the soldiers were tired and needed rest now.

The enemy is constantly stirring up, and everyone is in a state of high tension all the time, and no one can sleep peacefully.

has been tossed like this, I'm afraid that even if it drags on until the evening, everyone won't have the strength to carry a knife and fight the enemy in a decisive battle! ”

Marshal Kante explained gloomily.

In this magical world, forcibly resting soldiers is not a difficult task.

But the problem is that there are too many soldiers, and the few magicians in the army are exhausted, and I am afraid that they will not be able to make all the crocodiles sleep.

Even if they could, they wouldn't dare to do it now.

If you really want to use magic to force the soldiers to rest, if the enemy kills you, it will be too late to cry.

Knowing the truth doesn't mean you can solve the problem.

If you want the crocodiles to get used to the sound of the cannon, you can't do it in just a few hours.

What's more, the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment can also cause damage, and the comrades around him may be blown up at any time.

It's not like everyone hasn't seen the scene of flesh and blood, but it's a real fight on the battlefield.

In contrast, the flesh and blood blown up by the magic crystal cannon were purely passively beaten, and the impact of the two on the soldiers was completely different.

"Otherwise, let some rest first, so as to ensure our ability to counterattack at night!"

The Demon Crocodile King suggested uncertainly.

The Demon Crocodile army has more troops, but the enemy also has a cavalry advantage, and in a head-to-head duel in broad daylight, their chances of victory are not high.

The enemy is a Terran with a great cause, and even if it is a defeat and a defeat record, strategically the other party wins.

The Demon Crocodile Clan of the Projectile Clan cannot tolerate any large-scale defeat, and it is not possible to suffer heavy losses.

These innate limitations doomed them to choose the battlefield only at night, while the enemy was the opposite.

What seems to be a meaningless artillery battle at the moment is actually a struggle for war time between the two sides.

Whoever dominates the decisive battle will gain the dominance of the war, and the probability of winning the war will also increase significantly.

"That's all there is to it now!"

Marshal Kante reluctantly agreed.

There is no best option, so the compromise solution must also be used.

It is not possible to guarantee the input of all the main studs, at least to ensure their ability to launch counterattacks at night.

The enemy can play a trick of exhaustion, and they can follow suit.

……

"Pass the order down, collect the troops and return to the camp!"

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Hudson decisively ordered.

The artillery battle during the day greatly dampened the enemy's spirit, but the enemy commander's response was still remarkable.

If it weren't for the enemy's quick enough reaction and timely countermeasures, just the magic crystal cannon bombardment would have been able to collapse this demon crocodile army.

The failure to build a full success did not affect everyone's good mood in the slightest.

Not a single soldier was lost at home, and the enemy suffered thousands of casualties, and this was enough.

The magic crystals consumed in the Great War are the affairs of the Hessian Kingdom government, and at most the middle and high ranks of the army need to worry about it, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers.

There was no victory in the big war, and the soldiers were the favorite, which meant that meat could be eaten again in the evening.

In fact, since the formation of the coalition forces, meat has not been cut off.

It's just that due to the logistical system of the Hessians, the supply of meat often can't keep up.

As a last resort, Hudson had no choice but to let his caravan transport a batch of dried fish from the southeastern provinces and sell it to the Hessian logistics department to replenish the amount.

Among the many meats, dried fish is undoubtedly the least oily. There's no problem with a full stomach, don't think about the taste.

The condiment in the army, only table salt. Other sauces, which are luxury in the continent of Aslant.

Sugar, that's for the wounded and elite troops.

In contrast, it is still the most abundant fat meat, which is more liked by the soldiers at the bottom.

Affected by the lack of supply, the "high-quality meat" in the eyes of these low-level soldiers can only be enjoyed at the celebration banquet.

The combat artillery during the day made a contribution, but it did not affect everyone to follow and eat meat.

Compared to the cheers of the low-level soldiers in the camp, the atmosphere in the handsome camp was completely different.

The confrontation between the two armies also required physical strength, and the soldiers rotated several waves, but Hudson, the commander, did not go to rest.

I still have to stay up late when I come back at night, but fortunately, the strong man in the Holy Domain has a strong body, and if he changes to a weak and sickly commander, it is a high probability event that he will die young if he continues to toss it like this.

The coach has to be busy, and a group of high-level generals naturally can't escape.

"The artillery battle during the day has initially accomplished our strategic goal, but it does not mean that the enemy has lost the ability to sneak attack at night.

Tonight is a critical juncture, the enemy has suffered a big loss during the day, and it is very likely that he will come back with revenge at night.

The generals on duty must be vigilant to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night! ”

Hudson warned solemnly.

The post-war summary that should have been carried out was directly carried by him in one sentence.

However, the generals did not object, the battle during the day was too simple, and the battle results could not be counted.

Everyone knows that the artillery has made meritorious contributions, and the matter is over.

There is no reference for the whole continent on the issue of the accounting of military merits. The artillery was put together on an improvised basis, and the specific standards of rewards and punishments could only be obtained by everyone who went back to make their own.

Anyway, the record of artillery, it is impossible to calculate the first rank.

Hudson was not an eventful man, and whether or not to give the people below a way out could only depend on the conscience of the lord.

Those who participated in the war were all noble private armies, and the two kingdoms accounted for their war exploits, and they were also recorded on the heads of noble lords.

Comparatively speaking, the situation is better in the southeastern provinces. For a long time, under the influence of him as a commander, the lord can also drink soup if he eats meat.

It is difficult for the grassroots to become nobles, but the treatment that capable people get in the territory is still much higher than that of serfs.

In an era when no one else can have enough to eat, it is also a kind of happiness for your family to be able to eat enough.

"Marshal, rest assured.

The last general will take strict precautions and leave no chance for the enemy to take advantage of! ”

Viscount Doleonard immediately said.

This scene made a group of Hessian generals very envious.

The night shift to strictly prevent enemy sneak attacks seems to be a chore, but it is also the weight of the commander.

Especially listening to Hudson's meaning, the enemy army will come to steal the camp tonight, which is even more covetous.

If there is a battle, it means that there is a battle!

With other commanders, everyone may panic when encountering this kind of thing, but with Hudson in charge, everyone has no such worries at all.

After all, the main task on duty is to be on alert, and not for them to find a way to defeat the enemy army.

Timely detection of the enemy's stealing camp and defense according to the plan is a great achievement, and the commander is still responsible for commanding the rest of the battle.

Having witnessed the defeat of the Giant Foot Centipede, everyone didn't think that the demon crocodile army in front of them could make many big waves.

"Marshal, how are you going to start the follow-up battle?"

Marquis Simeone asked with concern.

An important position in the army was held by the nobles of the southeastern provinces, and he had no choice.

When it comes to military command ability, the noble generals of the Hessian Kingdom are indeed unable to catch up with these battlefield generals.

If the ability is not good, it is enough to not be able to win the initiative, but the right to know is still necessary.

You can't finish the battle in a daze, they, the participants, don't know what's going on yet.

Similar black history, they have already had before.

The defeat of the Giantfoot Cipede, they won in a fool's hand.

For the sake of their own face, they want to ask but are embarrassed to ask. can only privately entertain the nobles of the southeastern provinces and talk from the wine table.

The answers obtained are all artistically processed, and no one can figure out how far away from the truth is.

After suffering a loss, the Marquis of Simeone would rather pull down his face now and ask more, lest the black history repeat itself.

"Respond to changes with the same first, wait for the situation to change, and then decide on the next tactics.

If nothing happens tonight, then starting tomorrow, the Knights will take turns to sweep the Quartet and cut off the back path of the Demon Crocodile army.

If the enemy does not come out for a decisive battle, then the troops will set traps around the enemy camp to prevent them from coming out at night.

I don't care about anything else, anyway, from tomorrow onwards, I can't let a grain of grain flow into the enemy camp!

The mage regiment that accompanied the army sprang into action tonight, poisoning the streams around the enemy camp and cutting off their water supply! ”

Hudson, in the most bland tone, gave the most vicious order.

With hundreds of thousands of troops moving, food, grass and water are a big problem.

Under normal circumstances, the food carried by a unit with the army can last for ten days and half a month at most.

Even if the demon crocodile can carry hunger, it will only last a few more days.

Not to mention the water source, the camping site is not randomly chosen. The camp chosen by the enemy army is a treasure of feng shui surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Although the mountain is less than 300 meters, this is also the best camping camp in the vicinity.

Once the enemy forces break through the camp, they can also take refuge in this mountain forest.

Before the arrival of the demon crocodile army, Hudson had already scouted the nearby terrain and landforms.

Even this piece of feng shui treasure land was selected by him for the enemy army.

It turned out that it still made sense to be selective, and none of the enemies refused his "goodwill".

The advantage of the enemy army in camping is obvious, and the shortcomings naturally exist.

There are no major rivers nearby, and the nearest river is fifty miles away. The water sources of the coalition forces were transported in advance.

Once the enemy army has set up camp, the water source can only rely on a few streams in the mountains.

On his own preset battlefield, copying homework according to successful cases, Hudson is naturally familiar and cannot be more familiar.

Looking at the performance of the aristocratic generals in the camp, you can see that this is another blind spot in everyone's knowledge.

Everyone has heard of the matter of cutting off grain and water sources, and some have even experienced it.

It's just that most of these take place in siege warfare, and it's rare to have such fun in the field.

It's not that everyone can't think of it, the main thing is that there is another hanging force in the continent of Aslant - magician.

They can't do anything about cutting off the grain route, but just by cutting off the water source, the water magician can still save the emergency.

Now it can be used, because Hudson knows that eighty percent of the magicians in the inner race of the earth are dark, and most of the remaining two percent are earth-based magicians.

The distribution of magicians is also affected by the natural environment, and water magicians are mainly born in coastal countries, where there is a sea in the inner world.

Tactics that are useless against other armies have hit the soft underbelly of the demon crocodile army.

A well-informed human aristocrat has never experienced a scene, let alone a turtle's demon crocodile.

I didn't be able to see through it at the first time, and now even if the tactics are exposed, the demon crocodile army has no time to change.

……

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the land was completely covered in darkness.

The demon crocodile soldiers, who were holding back the fire in their bellies, quietly entered the coalition camp under the orders of the commander.

Knowing that a large force is moving, it is impossible to achieve complete secrecy, but it is always inevitable to take chances.

Even if you want to be exposed, late exposure is better than early exposure.

At about the same time, an inconspicuous squad quietly left the coalition camp.

"There seems to be movement ahead!"

Henry Ball, a soldier on patrol, said vigilantly to his companion.

"Oh no, it's an enemy attack!

Fast Signal......"

Before his companion's words were finished, his body fell down first, and the sudden change made Henry Pohl instinctively send a signal.

After receiving the signal, the dazzling magic light instantly shone on this side, directly exposing the sneak attack of the demon crocodile.
