"Damn! I thought ...... Are they really willing to use the Dark Elf Force as their main force?!"

William was a little angry for a moment, surprised and incredulous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In a sense, it wasn't for nothing that he removed the possibility of a night attack by the dark elves. Because these dark elf janissaries, but the dark elves, the treasures of the Ottoman Empire. How can it be used so easily.

William felt that if he was the female Su Dan of the Dark Elves, then even if he wiped out all those Levantine Turks, Berbers, and other messy vassal troops, he would definitely not let the elite and dark elf troops under his command lose one-third.

He'd always been so artificial, but now it seemed that he had somewhat underestimated the Dark Elf Girl's determination.

A sudden night attack by the other party disrupted all of William's plans.

"It's terrible. William sighed again. Then he jumped up and walked towards the outside of his barracks. At the same time, Charlumi and Elise, who were beside him, also came to their senses.

"What's the matter, William, what's wrong?!"

"Did the Dark Elves attack?"

In two sentences, you can see the level of Elise and Charlumi. The first sentence was naturally asked by Charunmi, and the latter sentence was asked by Elise. The IQ and judgment of the two people are brought into full play in this way.

"Ah, yes, if nothing else. William said this as he removed his helmet from the shelf and strode out.

At the same time, at the door, William's Praetorian Captain walked in with the herald.

"Your Majesty, enemy! dark elves, they have attacked us!" the herald shouted almost out of breath.

"What the hell is going on?!! Although he was attacked at night, William believed that with the military literacy of the Hereford family, he would never be so easily chaotic.

Moreover, he has arranged a total of four array defense lines, even if the enemy can take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack and seize some fronts, he will definitely be fine.

So, the most important thing right now is to be calm, well, yes, to be calm. As the supreme commander of the Hereford family, you must be calm here. You can't let people see your nervousness.

Because, if even you are nervous, how can you ask those soldiers to fight seriously?

In this way, infected by William's calm and calm voice, the herald, who was still a little flustered, immediately calmed down, and then told what had happened as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, it was indeed the dark elves who launched the night attack, and this female Sudan seemed to want to reverse the dilemma of being killed by William before this.

That is, before this, when the two met, William won the other party's game by relying on his strong force that was not like a normal person. Naturally, the Dark Elves' female Sudan Fatima was unhappy with this.

Originally, Nu Su Dan wanted to use her elite cavalry to gain an advantage in the outpost battle and then win back a city. But the Herefords, who had absorbed the entire cavalry heritage of the Kingdom of Wend, plus the tactics of modern cavalry and Cossack cavalry, were able to meet any challenge in cavalry warfare, even the larger Ottoman cavalry units.

So, in the ensuing cavalry battle, the two sides fought a draw.

In this way, the morale of the Ottoman army was further reduced - for the simple reason that they did not have an advantage where they thought they had an advantage. Such a psychological gap naturally affects morale.

In this way, if the Ottoman army goes into battle with such morale and faces the army of the Hereford family, which has built a large number of fortifications, in an offensive posture, then the chances of victory are probably not very good.

After the setback of the offensive, the morale of the Ottoman army naturally fell further.

In this case, the most important tactic is to win a small victory, and of course, it is better if the victory is larger.

After a victory, the morale of the Ottoman army would naturally increase.

And the battle that the female Sudan Fatima chooses to win is the night battle that the dark elves like and are best at.

To this end, she did not hesitate to sacrifice an elite army of dark elves to achieve a tactical victory.

And the result of this is that she succeeded.

Yes, the female Sudan Fatima succeeded, succeeded in winning the victory. Caught off guard, the frontline troops of the Hereford family, who were first flattened by a round of artillery, were attacked by the dark elves.

In the dark of night, suddenly attacked by the enemy in close quarters, the Herriford family's gunpowder weapon advantage could not be brought into full play, and the battle situation showed a one-sided trend from the very beginning.

After the Dark Elves threw in a second army, House Hereford's army collapsed even faster.

Many of the soldiers of the Hereford family army were killed by the enemy in the dark of night, without even figuring out who their enemy was and where it was. And then, after a period of initial chaos, although the Hereford family army restored order, and then launched wars, fighting all kinds of miserably, but lost the early advantage, and its own ability to progress was far inferior to that of the dark elves, and the resistance was only in vain.

In a very short time, a whole regiment, fifteen hundred Hereford family soldiers, plus a squadron of combat engineers, one hundred and twenty combat engineers, and a cavalry company that had crashed in and wanted to come to the rescue, were all wiped out.

The death of nearly 2,000 soldiers, combined with the breaching of one of the frontline defenses, was the result of a sudden night attack by the Dark Elves, inflicting losses on the Hereford family's army.

On the other hand, the total number of Dark Elf troops who participated in the night attack was less than a hundred.

It was a complete victory, so to speak...... If it weren't for the fact that after making sure that the Dark Elves had broken through the line, William decisively ordered an artillery bombardment of the first line of defense, then the Dark Elves would really be able to boast about their victory.

The Hereford family artillerymen, who were very lucky, or rather very unfortunate, had long since measured the coordinates of the various lines of defense and recorded the adjustment of the artillery, were likewise able to ignore the obstacles of the night to a certain extent.

In total, the Hereford family artillery of the Second and Third Fronts fired nearly 1,000 rounds of high-explosive and shrapnel shells. And after breaking through the defensive line, it was completely unclear what the purpose of the trenches was, and the dark elf troops, who only cared about celebrating their victory, suffered a big loss all of a sudden. Hundreds of people were blown away by the artillery of the Hereford family.

In terms of exchange ratio, it was probably four to one to five to one, and it was still the Hereford family army that was defeated. But in the hearts of the Dark Elves, the Ottoman Elves, the importance of four or five hundred Dark Elf soldiers is far higher than that of two thousand enemies. In this way, the two sides should be considered a draw.

"It's just that, I'm still very dissatisfied. William said in a deep voice to the various senior officers who arrived one after another: "I have stressed again and again, be careful, be cautious. This time the enemy was very formidable, even stronger than the army led by our previous opponent, Emperor Kalman IV. But what about you?!

I always thought that I was already very strong, I always thought that I had won so many victories, and the enemy was completely vulnerable, the second and the third in the world, and now what?!What about now?!What about the energy you usually brag about?!Why is there no such energy that you usually brag about?!Ahhhhhhhhhhh

William reprimanded his generals to the ground.

And because of the class, the generals under his command had no other way to use than to be dejectedly trained.

Of course, because in a sense, this matter is indeed their problem. In addition, William's prestige in the army is also enough, so these guys are all depressed, and they dare not be angry or speak.

William felt that it was a good thing for these guys to be reprimanded like this.

is also the year of the Hereford family's victories again and again, and it is natural that there are a lot of empty-eyed people in the Hereford family, and they feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and there is no guy who is his opponent.

If there were too many such cases, and this impetuous atmosphere spread to the whole army, then William would have to worry.

Therefore, with the help of this small failure, it is more or less a good way to sound the alarm for these guys.

"So, I know, I know...... We've done a lot of great, miraculous things before. Speaking of this, William's tone softened a lot: "But so what? You have succeeded now, and the victory you have won before does not mean that you can win the war in the future!"

I also know that many low-ranking officers and many soldiers have such arrogance, which I can barely understand and accept.

But you can't, you're different! You're the senior officer I've chosen by Willem von Hereford, and every one of you will be a general, a marshal, and every one of you will command a corps-sized army, or even a larger corps!

So, you guys have to be vigilant all the time! You can't be like those ordinary soldiers! Do you remember?!"

"Remembered ......"

The disgraced senior officers who were reprimanded by William said somewhat dejectedly.

"I can't hear you! Didn't you bastards eat dinner?!

"Remembered !!"

So the senior officers shouted loudly.

"Well, so be it. After I go back, think about it, think about it, in the face of the attack of the dark elves, the night attack, what tactics should we use to fight back!Go, go back!" William waved his hand, then reprimanded the guys a little more, and after beating them, they returned to the barracks.
