Chapter 253: Bait
This time, the person in charge of the command was not Ye Junwen, but Edlang. Of course, Edlang also knew that this was a test for him by Ye Junwen, and now that Ye Junwen has controlled the government, so his attention can't be completely focused on the army, and now he needs someone who can help him share the pressure in the army, and it seems that this person is very likely to be himself, although he doesn't know why Ye Junwen chose himself, but if he really gets this position, it will be the next marshal.
Yes, Ye Junwen will definitely be promoted again in the future, and it is not impossible to become the emperor directly, after all, the current emperor is also supported by Ye Junwen, and everyone thinks that Ye Junwen is just waiting for the time to be ripe and then change himself, after all, in the eyes of people on this side of the other world, being an emperor is not the ultimate dream that everyone wants. If Ye Junwen becomes the emperor, of course, the deputy marshal of Edlang will be canceled, of course, provided that he can sit in this position.
Edlang is also a little anxious to prove his ability, after all, his current position and status are all carried by Ye Junwen, Ye Junwen is a good thing to top him, but some of the people below are not convinced, you seventy-year-old man was still an ordinary general for most of his life, why do you rocket to become a deputy marshal now, just because of your age? Edron needed a good record to show what he was capable of, and taking the Elven main city was undoubtedly a good choice.
So this time the command was taken by him from Ye Junwen's side, and Ye Junwen really gave it to him, both public and private, he had to solve the elves perfectly this time, of course, now this battle is basically determined to win, although Ye Junwen said that he didn't care, but he had already helped him solve most of the problems, and the rest was the problem of how to harvest.
Edron's purpose is also very clear, to catch the queen of the elven clan is to complete the work, and no one will say any more gossip about him at that time. At this time, it was already early in the morning, Ye Junwen had already slept, of course Edlang hadn't slept yet, he was the person in charge, and he had to adjust the situation on the battlefield at any time.
Sure enough, he received a report from the scouts that there was movement in the west, that the city gate had been opened, and a large number of elven soldiers poured out of the city gate. Edlong was waiting for this moment, and immediately ordered: "Execute according to the plan!" ”
Of course, the elves broke through from the west, and he himself felt that the elves were most likely to break through from the west, so he stayed on the west side all the time. After receiving the news, he also quickly rushed to the front line to check the situation, picked up the night vision binoculars, and sure enough, he saw a large number of people pouring out of the West City Gate.
"So many people? Looks like it's all here. "Edlang looked at the number of the opponent's troops and felt that the main force of the opponent's troops was here, but the bad thing was that the opponent's troops seemed to be scattered in all directions after leaving the city gate, and they were not concentrated together to break through to the front, which was more troublesome.
There are indeed not many troops on their side, although the combat effectiveness is very strong, but the enemy does not engage them, and they can't send people everywhere to chase them if they just run by themselves. It seems that the elves have also observed the formation of their troops, so they use this method of dispersion, running out first and then gathering at a location or something. However, Edlang only smiled, and he also expected this situation, and he was prepared.
"Inform the troops to the north and south." Edlang said immediately.
With a "bang", a cluster of fireworks-like things shot directly into the sky, and then exploded in the air, which was a signal flare. Of course, it was also Edlan's arrangement, and the troops in charge of guarding the city gates in the north and south saw this signal, and immediately divided a part of their troops and hurried towards the west.
Of course, they only divided their troops, and not all of them. Although Edrang's side saw a large number of troops and felt that it was the main force of the other side that would send a signal for troops from other sides to come and outflank him, it was not ruled out that the enemy's small troops would withdraw with the queen, so he still kept some troops to defend at each gate. Edlan's tactics are really very steady, how stable and how to come.
Although there was a little distance between the gates, it was not that far, and the mobile troops arranged by Edlan were all cavalry, so it was still very fast to arrive at the battlefield. At this time, Edlang also commanded the infantry to press upwards and began to fire flares with mortar launchers.
The troops who rushed out were a little chaotic at this time, because they only knew that they would definitely be attacked by the enemy after they came out, but what they didn't expect was that they would be so fast, and the attack had already come when they went out just now. The troops in the front row were immediately shot at by the enemy, and for the first time they were machine-gunned, of course, they did not react, and fell down in whole areas, plus there were a bunch of chaotic civilians behind them.
These civilians really came to make trouble, as soon as they went out, they ran around, causing their troops to be chaotic, and for a while, the elven troops directly lost their command, and the scene was a mess.
At this moment, the troops in charge of outflanking had also arrived, and the battle was going very smoothly from both sides, but this smoothness made Edlang feel a little strange. Although it is said that the combat effectiveness of the elven troops who have been smelling the stench for a day will not be too strong, but this is also a little too fast, and it feels like the other party has no resistance at all. This breakthrough is a desperate fight, even if you are unwell, you should fight once.
While Edron was wondering what was going on, the men next to him brought him not very good news, as they found that among the people they had killed seemed to be people who were not soldiers.
"What?" Edlang was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood that it was civilians, and the elves actually used civilians as bait to attract them. Edlang really can't think of this, because from the previous understanding, the elves cherish their compatriots very much, if this matter appears in the human army, Edlang can still understand and guard against it, but the elves, he really didn't expect the other party to do this, it seems that he is really cornered, and he doesn't care about these benevolence and morality?
Of course, he didn't know that these were spontaneous by the melon-eating masses who did not know the truth. But at this time, Edlang didn't have time to think about what was going on, if these people in front of him were civilians, where was the main force of the elves?
Sure enough, just as Edlong was thinking, the sound of battle suddenly came from the north. Edlang immediately understood what was going on, turned over his horse directly, and said to Ted next to him: "General Ted, this side is handed over to you!" All cavalry units are on their horses at once, come with me! ”
The cavalry troops also immediately mounted their horses and followed Edlang to the northern gate. Yes, at this time the battle at the northern gate also began. Not long after the reinforcements left here, Ilwen, who discovered the situation, immediately launched a breakthrough. The troops here are all soldiers, and they rush out again and again, so that the remaining Terran soldiers who are defending are also a little caught off guard.
Although a little flustered, but after all, it is a well-trained elite unit, so it was immediately adjusted, and the number of the other party is not as large as imagined, yes, although it was said before that there are 50,000 elf troops in the city, but in fact, the number of troops that can break through with the queen is less than this number, and many soldiers have vomited and lost their combat effectiveness, so this can't carry these people to break through. Coupled with some of the troops who followed Osaith to death before, the rest of the troops that followed the queen were less than 20,000 people, and the Terran troops here also had this number.
The troops on both sides clashed, and the result was immediately apparent. Yes, the human soldiers have the upper hand, in terms of morale, the two sides are completely unequal, and the physical strength is also completely unequal, although the elven soldiers here still have combat effectiveness, but they have also vomited for a day, they are completely supported by will, and the human soldiers have rested for two days, waiting for work, and they are currently full of physical strength, and they are not afraid of each other at all.
The troops on the human side are getting more and more vigorous, although they are behind, but they are about to press the elven troops back into the city. Yi Erwen was also very anxious when she saw this situation, although she also knew that it was not the fault of the soldiers, these soldiers were not in the state, but if they couldn't break through this time, wouldn't Osaisi die in vain?
Just when he didn't know what to do, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the rear of the Terran troops, and everyone was stunned, and soon a row of arrows flew out of the woods and shot down a group of Terran troops.
"It's our reinforcements!" Ilwen shouted, and sure enough, they soon saw a bunch of elven troops emerge from the forest and flank the Terran troops. This group of elven troops obviously did not appear to be weak-handed, so they did not come out of the city.
Ilwen was slightly puzzled, but immediately figured out where this force came from. Didn't she give the order of national mobilization before, let all the elf troops come to the main city to gather, but the time is relatively tight, more than 20,000 people came back before, and there are still many troops who have not had time to come back, this force is estimated to be the elf army that has just rushed back, although I don't know which force it is, but at this time it is a help.
Due to the appearance of this army, the human troops fell a little behind, but just as the elven troops saw the light and their morale recovered, suddenly the ground began to shake. Everyone looked in the direction of the shock, and saw a cavalry with torches rushing towards them. The elves obviously don't have cavalry, so this team is a human reinforcement.
