Chapter 97: Aftermath 4

"This is the map of the enemy that Tennison and Malorne have been scouting for the past two days, you can take a look!" said Deria, pointing to something on the table.

Ed approached and looked through the firelight, slightly surprised that this was not an ordinary flat topographic map, but an undulating diorama.

He stretched out his hand and touched the material at the edge, which was ordinary dirt, and the verdant greenery on it simulated the forest landscape was also lifelike, and the enemy's castle was also very delicate.

"The little trick of the druids, that guy named Malorn is really very skilled, and he made this thing with the excellent reconnaissance ability of mercenaries such as Shirin!"

Ed knew in his heart whose masterpiece it was, and then he focused on the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us on the map, and he could clearly find that his own form was still very unoptimistic, although he took this fortress to the west of the city of Auare, but it also further put himself in the encirclement of the Ingers.

"Now we are like a small thorn piercing into the flesh of the enemy, the enemy formation that was originally semi-surrounded and suppressed by OvalΓ© is now enveloping us almost in all directions, once the enemy comes to his senses and organizes a joint attack, we will most likely be choked by the throat and trapped here!"

"Well, so we have to take the initiative and poke this thorn deeper into the enemy's body until it destroys the opponent's heart and blood vessels!"

Seeing that Ed quickly understood his intentions, after the two sides unified their thoughts, Delia began to arrange the mission.

In fact, due to the limited time for reconnaissance, we only know the strength of each enemy stronghold. But they don't have time to waste any more, and tonight another new offensive will be launched.

The new battle plan was called "Operation Blitz", even though Ed was prepared. After listening to all the girl's plans, I was still surprised.

"Raid three enemy strongholds in one night?

There was a trace of worry in Di Liya's eyes, as if she was worried by her companion, but then she suppressed this thought, and said in a firm tone: "Roland is too sick to be cured without a drastic method, I believe God will bless us!"

"That'...... Well, you're going to split up?" Ed asked.

"Hmm. It's still the same, you, me, and Knight Howard each led a group of troops to take down the three enemy strongholds around them. They are not too far away from each other, and the first ones can also support each other. ”

"Hmm!" Ed pondered for a moment as he looked at the three targets on the topographic map.

"How about the tactics of using encirclement points to send reinforcements, I see that these three forts are within sight of each other, and the enemy sees one being attacked. In the middle of the night, it is very likely that he will go out of the city to rescue. We can attack halfway, and then drive the fleeing enemy troops all the way into the fort. If the enemy does not come to the rescue, it is not too late to attack the city. ”

After refining the combat idea a little, the two reached a consensus, and invited several other high-ranking officials, including Knight Howard, to announce Operation Blitz.

Perhaps accustomed to the commander-in-chief's suddenness, there was no objection at the meeting. Several representative knights silently listened to the plan and nodded silently, after all, the previous victories had laid the foundation for Delia's rule. It would be unwise to oppose it again.

"Well, if there is no objection, go down and prepare immediately, and trouble Knight Howard to stay and discuss the detailed plan. ”

At midnight, through the mist, the three teams of men and horses each came to the predetermined position, still the knights and ordinary cavalry separated, and Howard led all the psykers in the center to attack first.

Seeing the light of the fire in the distance and listening to the sporadic loud shouts in his ears, Ed knew that the operation had begun, and he led more than 2,000 ordinary soldiers to ambush in the woods not far from his target fortress, not far from the nearest road to the attacked stronghold.

Most of the people behind him were lying on the ground, and the power of the star spirit blessed by Di Liya emitted a faint fluorescence, which was not conspicuous at this full moon.

After a while, just as Ed was getting a little agitated, he felt a vibration from the ground, and then the sound of people neighing.

"Attention, follow my instructions before acting!" Suppressing a little restlessness behind him, Eddard unleashed his insight skills powered by the power of the astral spirit, and spotted the enemy's vanguard at a limit distance.

Perhaps it was too late to reorganize the troops in the middle of the night, and more than sixty knights threw their soldiers and retinues far away, and rushed over first, without letting the scouts set out to reconnoiter the enemy situation in front of them.

If it was still in the original world, Ed would definitely let go of the enemy's vanguard at this time, and instead eat the large number of Chinese troops behind, but it is different here, the enemy's real combat power is these sixty or so horsemen.

"Kill!"

Unleashing his own Heavenly Flame, Ed leapt forward and rode out on his horse, using this as a signal to kill the warriors in ambush in the woodlands on both sides of the road, and in the blink of an eye, with the advantage of numbers, he quickly completed the encirclement of the enemy.

"Stupid!"

The leading Ingier knight scolded, did not slow down at all, and led the surrounding knights to collide with the ordinary warriors who were blocking the way in front.

Prior to this, this traditional psionic knight had never worried that he would be ambushed, Roland could not take five or six times his number of knights to snipe, as for ordinary people who fought purely by numbers, he was not in his eyes, no matter how many enemies there were, with the speed of the war horse, he could crush the block and break out of the encirclement.

But this time he miscalculated, with the blessing of the power of the star spirit, the ordinary soldiers are no longer glass people who can be broken at the touch of a touch, and the soldiers who stopped in the front row saw the war horse crashing in, and they were ruthless, and they lowered their heads and blocked the way with their shields in front of them.

"Bang!"

The sound of a solid crash was continuous, but it only lasted for a short time, and it was far from as overwhelming as the Ingier Knight had thought.

The powerful impact of the knight's spiritual energy attached to the war horse was absorbed by the power of the star spirit on the warriors, and the knights had to stop their horses and stay in place to spin around just by taking the front row of foot soldiers away with their momentum.

"It can't be!"

The leader of the knights of Ingier was silent, and then the rumors he had heard before drifted through his mind again, "I heard that the Roland people have come up with an incredible secret weapon, and the hundreds of new troops are completely comparable to the psionics!"

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, and scolded his subordinates for spreading rumors to shake the morale of the army, but he didn't expect to let himself encounter this strange thing in less than a day.

"Get out!"

The unbelieving knight did not stop, and wanted to speed over the enemy phalanx that was blocking again. (To be continued......)
