342: The golden cicada sheds its shell
After the Holy Roman envoy left, Princess Hulan immediately shouted excitedly: "Betty's old man actually asked us to lead troops to rescue, haha, this is just right! We will attack immediately, and before they can see the flaw, we will fight the Illyrian army in front and back, and destroy them in one fell swoop!"
Attila shook her head and said, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as the princess thinks, Betty has been in battle for a long time, and she won't be so stupid." I'm sure he's suspicious of us now, but maybe not yet, that's why he's tempted. If we do attack them right away, we will have to pay a great price even if we win. ”
Hülegü also frowned and said: "The Illyrian side reported that they had annihilated 35,000 Holy Roman troops, but Betty said that they had lost only 10,000 men, who is more credible? If Illyria's intelligence is true, then the HRE army is not to be worried. But if Betty's words are true, then I'm afraid we can't beat them lightly. ”
At this point, the two fell silent. They drank and pondered, and the inside of the tent was silent except for the rustling rain outside. It's unclear what Betty is up to, although Attila has promised the HRE to lead troops to Illyria, but that's just casual talk. Whether or not you are really going to go, how many troops to bring and when to leave need to be carefully considered.
But at this time, Princess Hulan urged impatiently: "You are not a roundworm in Betty's stomach, and you can't figure out what tricks he is playing here! When the time comes, it will be clear naturally. Even if he had other tricks, would he still be able to defeat our coalition with Illyria with those remnants of his army?!"
Attila nodded. What my sister said also makes sense, their nomadic people are characterized by action rather than fantasy, so they really led their troops to Mia Harbor to see, no matter what kind of conspiracy Betty had, sooner or later he would still show his fox tail. And as long as you are prepared and not deceived by the other party, you will not be able to defeat yourself with the little strength of Shinra.
Come to think of it. Attila immediately stood up and said, "In that case, let's go at once!"
It takes time for the army to set off, entrusted by the great prince Attila. Princess Hulan, who was an Illyrian liaison envoy, set out ahead of time and bypassed the hill where the Holy Roman army was stationed on the other side and came to the port of Mia.
Elrens and the rest of Illyria were puzzled when they heard that Betty had sent someone to ask for Attila's help. Logically speaking. As a veteran of combat experience. Betty shouldn't have made such a mistake, but he did, was there a deception in it, and if the other party really had a conspiracy, how could he turn defeat into victory?
No one could guess what the answer was, but one thing they knew for sure was that when Attila arrived with his army, the HRE army was no match for their combined forces. Both sides decided to attack and surround the hill where the other side was stationed that night, in order to annihilate the remaining forces of the Holy Roman Army in one fell swoop. so as not to have too many dreams at night......
In the evening, Attila finally arrived near the port of Mia with an army of 50,000 men from the Golden Horde. The eldest prince chose an open place to set up camp, and at the same time sent the general Hulegu as an envoy to the HRE army station, hoping to continue to confuse the other party and spy on Betty's true intentions.
Hulegu soon arrived at the heavily guarded Holy Roman military camp, and after several interrogations and searches, he was personally received by Betty. The two seemed to be extremely enthusiastic when they met, and they seemed to be close allies, but in fact, they longed for each other to die immediately.
"Your Excellency, please forgive us for our rudeness, the great war is approaching, and the enemy's spies are everywhere, and we must step up our inspections to prevent any spies from getting in. ”
Betty took Hülegü's hand and apologized, and her tone seemed very sincere. But listening to the ears of the generals of the Golden Horde, he couldn't help but move slightly, the other party deliberately mentioned spies, was it implying that he already knew about his collaboration with the enemy, or was he too careful?
Hülegü had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but laughed heartily and said: "Your Excellency Marshal, please rest assured, I understand this very well, it's too late to admire Your Excellency's rigor, how can you mind?"
After the two of them laughed and complimented each other, Hülegü couldn't help but ask: "Our eldest prince has personally led an army of 50,000 to arrive from the main road, and he can launch an attack on Miya Harbor at any time, I wonder what your plan is to destroy the enemy, Your Excellency Marshal?"
Betty smiled slightly and said: "This is a simple matter, now that the enemy's main force has been exposed, although they have won a battle, our army is several times more numerous than theirs. This is also the reason why the other party has not dared to take the initiative to attack us until now. Now that your army has arrived, and Miya Harbor is in no danger to defend, it is not difficult to win under the attack from both sides. I will intensify my surveillance of the enemy, and your army might as well rest now and attack together in the middle of the night tonight!"
Hülegü immediately agreed to Betty's plan and hurried back, Betty sneered at the back of the Golden Horde general. The general beside him, Grauce, couldn't help but ask: "My lord, since you know that the Golden Horde has betrayed us, why do you still agree with them to attack Mia Harbor together, aren't you afraid that they will turn against us in battle?"
Betty smiled and said: "Of course I won't be so stupid, the Golden Horde is eager to wipe out all of us, how can it be possible to join forces with them? With our current strength and morale, even against the Illyrian army alone, it will be difficult to win, but if we want to retreat, it will be difficult to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, but there are still the troops of the Golden Horde in front of us, and they will definitely not let us pass through the road!" That's why I came up with this countermeasure, pretending to fail to see through their betrayal, and tricking them into coming here. Now that there is no enemy in front of us, we will immediately retreat at full speed as soon as it gets dark. I guess they were still in the dark at that time, and by the time they came to their senses, we were already far away, haha!"
