Chapter 160: Meeting Before the Battle

"Report to the Legion Commander that a large force of the enemy has been detected moving in the direction of the Willes Plains." The scouts here brought the latest news to Conrad, and it was clear that the enemy's troops were heading towards the location of their agreed decisive battle, and it seemed as if everything was normal, and they seemed to want a head-to-head duel. However, if this happened to other generals, Conrad might believe it directly, but this person is Ye Junwen, this guy is not a simple character.

"Investigate again and expand the scope of investigation." Conrad thought for a moment and ordered again, he still felt that the other party had something to do, although he didn't know what it was, but it should be some kind of surprise attack force or something.

"Legionnaire, then we ......," the adjutant next to him asked.

"We ...... Also ready to go. Conrad said, their tactics have been planned, they also want to defeat the first and second combined forces, this is also a very good opportunity for the other party to take the initiative to attack, of course they can't let it go, only by solving this force, they can attack the main city with peace of mind.

General Conrad's Fifth Army began to march, but they were still very cautious, and from the moment they left the city, they were very cautious, for fear of an ambush or something. Their reconnaissance unit was also scouting everywhere, although it was very hard, but so far the feedback to General Conrad was no use at all, except for the movements of the enemy's troops, there was no other useful information.

"Could it be...... The Eighth Prince interfered in the military discussion? "He also knows the news that the eighth prince is in the military array opposite, could it be that at this time, the prince came out to make trouble and let them start a decisive battle or something? However, the idea only appeared for a second, and General Conrad quickly denied it himself. Yes, if you guess according to the psychology of luck, you will definitely fall into the trap of others, maybe the other party is just to make yourself have such thoughts.

I can't guess it, I can't detect it, and to be honest, General Conrad is starting to feel a little bad, but now that the troops are almost on the Willes Plain, it feels even more strange to retreat directly before they have even fought.

The Willes Plains, in fact, are near the place where they fought with the Combine before, and to the south is the Mittersburg Hills, and this side is a relatively vast plain, which is of course very suitable for the troops on both sides to set up a formation to face each other. The location of the decisive battle is chosen here, which seems to be very normal.

Unlike the place where they fought before, this side is surrounded by plains, and if there is a cavalry team detouring behind them as before, they can detect each other early and adjust the formation in time, so it is difficult to succeed with the previous surprise attack strategy. Because of the experience of the last time, General Conrad also sent a large number of scouts around, and even where there were no soldiers, he was worried that the other party would come to these strange tricks, but so far he has not found it.

General Conrad's troops arrived at the decisive battle site smoothly, and they were not attacked on the way, which was very smooth, which made General Conrad feel even more weird. At this time, it was already noon, and there was no fog or anything like that, and the view from here was very good, and General Conrad also walked to the slightly higher dirt slope next to him, and soon saw the situation in the distance.

Ye Junwen and his troops arrived one step ahead of General Conrad's troops, and they have already begun to repair their formations, the troops are lined up in a phalanx, and hundreds of thousands of troops are standing together, which is very terrifying. However, the situation is the same on the other side, General Conrad's side also has nearly 100,000 troops, although the number is slightly less than that of the Combine Army, but their troops are more pure. As I said before, some of the troops of the First Army are actually levies and not standing soldiers, although now everyone has changed into the same armor, and they are all temporarily organized into a formation, but after all, they have only been cooperating for so many days, and they are still a little different.

In all respects, there is really not much difference between the troops on the two sides, so there are no advantages or disadvantages in such a matchup. In General Conrad's opinion, this battle is based on on-the-spot command and scheduling, and then the morale situation, of course, if this is a normal fight, but he always feels that this battle will not be fought normally.

"Assemble your team and be ready to attack." General Conrad ordered, of course, there is no way to do it at the moment, it is impossible to see what the other party is going to do.

Because of the cautious march, the Fifth Legion arrived later, and the whole team was naturally slower, so under normal circumstances, they had a disadvantage, if the enemy launched an attack when they did not finish the whole team, they would be very passive, but the problem was that when the Fifth Army was in formation, the opposite side seemed to be watching them all the time. General Conrad obviously found that the other party had all assembled, but he just didn't attack.

Until the troops of the Fifth Army were basically integrated, General Conrad also breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned, what did the other side want to do, why did the other party not make a move when he thought that the other party might attack, although it seemed to be a good thing, but it made General Conrad even more worried.

Just as he was thinking about what was going on, what he didn't expect was that as soon as the formation in front of him opened, General Conrad saw several people riding horses out of the opposing camp.

"The commander of the First Legion and the Commander of the Second Legion of the Saint Wilan Empire are here, inviting the enemy general to come out and answer." One of the soldiers shouted in the direction of the Fifth Legion's formation.

"Answering the battle?" Conrad is even more confused, is the tactical process on the other side too retro, indeed there is really this so-called "demeanor" in the previous war, write a letter to make an appointment during the decisive battle, and then meet before the battle to talk about life, and then face each other head-on, but the problem is that this situation has long disappeared in the long river of history, what are you making trouble.

"Legionnaire, it's definitely a trap, don't go." The adjutant next to him immediately said.

"It's okay, I'll take a look." Conrad didn't want to go, he really didn't want to pay attention to them, but now he really couldn't think of what the other party was planning, so he decided to meet with the other party and take a little look to see what the other party's plans were.

So soon, Conrad also walked out of his military formation with a few people, and the generals on both sides walked to the center of the battlefield and observed each other. Hegar and Conrad originally knew each other, they are almost a figure of the same era, Conrad's military age is still older than Hejiaer, and Ye Junwen is of course the first time to see Conrad, although the two have fought before, but they have not seen it.

"Conrad, long time no see." Hegar spoke first, "Eleven years ago, in the Battle of Mushand, we were still comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, but I didn't expect that meeting again would be the current situation.

"The world is unpredictable." Conrad said simply, "I didn't expect to fight you on the battlefield. ”

After just saying hello to Hejiaer, Conrad quickly turned his gaze to Ye Junwen's side, he wanted to know what this young man thought, after all, this is very important for judging the current war situation.

"Sure enough, the hero is a boy, and you are Serina. Clovis right. Conrad spoke.

I said...... Uncle, isn't it too exaggerated for you to rebel with the rebels at your age. Ye Junwen said, "I said that I really can't think of a reason for your rebellion, you said that you are a regiment commander, you have done it all, and if you really succeed in rebellion, you can still be the emperor, the eldest prince ascends the throne, where can you still be promoted?" Even if you are really promoted, how many years do you have to enjoy? If the rebellion fails, you will not be able to protect your old age, and all the achievements of the forty years of fighting for the empire will be wiped out, is this really good? That's why I think it's strange why you're rebelling. ”

"Are you trying to convince me? It's impossible. Conrad said, "You don't need to know the reason why I helped the eldest prince, you don't think you can persuade me to quit the army here." ”

"Not really, I just think it's weird." Ye Junwen said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to say it if you hang up for a while, so I specially asked you to come out and explain the ins and outs, are you really not going to explain?" ”

"Why explain?" Conrad asked.

"If you don't explain, you won't be the Great Demon King, that is to say, you are only at the level of miscellaneous soldiers, and you may die miserably in a while." Ye Junwen said.

"You're the first one who dares to speak to me like that in forty years." Conrad said, "Looks like you're pretty confident." ”

"I know you're guessing what tactics I'm going to use, but that's all a misunderstanding of me, I'm a person who likes to be front-headed, and I don't need any tactics or anything like that against you." Ye Junwen said, "Since you are unwilling to surrender, then open the fight, command well, don't collapse all at once, it's not good-looking." ”

To be honest, in terms of making people angry, Ye Junwen is really at the level of a grandmaster, even if General Conrad has a good temper, he is still angered by Ye Junwen. It was clear that the conversation could not continue on this side, so both sides quickly took their leave and returned to their own formations. After waiting for a while, Ye Junwen and their side took the lead in blowing the horn of attack, and the soldiers in the front row began to advance towards the opposite side, and the battle officially began.
