Section 298 arrangement

"It's going to make my original plan go out of the way. After a long time, Sagas finally said. "They might find out, and even the little guy himself might notice something wrong with him. ”

"Don't worry, you got a way out anyway, didn't you?" replied Marven. "Besides, it's not very likely to be exposed, I have confidence in you, Sagas. ”

Sagas suddenly wondered if Marven had said something like that before he tricked Login into sending him to his death.

A few minutes later, Marven once again lifted the spell. After all, this magic is still very draining.

Sortie? That's inevitable. Southerners are cautious (or cowardly), but that doesn't mean they're stupid. Such an opportunity is rare - a bold and reckless fat that no one will refuse.

Marven knows a lot about the mental activities of those Southerners, and he knows what kind of actions a Southerner would do in such a situation. When they knew of an enemy detachment of about 3,000 men, they would send a force of 5,000 or more than 10,000 men to try to destroy the enemy. This is their classic line of thinking -- send five or six thousand men when they are more sure, and eight or nine thousand if they are not sure. Doubling or tripling the superiority of troops -- this is also something that is often said in the books of the southerners.

Ashrufat was the main general and would not personally command a battle of this magnitude. He will send a lieutenant: one of his three lieutenants. But Parry was now in charge of the defense of Neustria, and Bayrell was in charge of scouting and intelligence gathering - both of which were more important tasks, so they wouldn't be dispatched. Barranca, on the other hand, is a suitable target.

Marven was very confident that Ashrufat would send Barranca to lead an army against the Bloodfang Lord. And there is no doubt that Barranca himself would be happy to take on this task. How could he not be happy? He could lead three times the enemy's forces to attack, and it was a battle with a good chance of victory, and it was a great opportunity for him to win merit and honor.

Then the Lord of the Bloodfang will teach Barranca a good lesson. After that, it is estimated that he will not have so much confidence to refuse Marven's offer - provided that he survives, of course.

......

Ashrufat received the news the next day.

Just like yesterday, the three lieutenants gathered in his room again. And this time, even the time is surprisingly similar, and the three of them almost entered the door with their front and back feet.

Baylor looked the same as yesterday, Parry was striking with a swaggering look - a sign that he must have received some good news, while Barranca, on the other hand, was slightly absent-minded and visibly preoccupied.

"A Chaos army of thousands is approaching the city of Neustria alone, and the target is that small city?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" said Parry, smugly. "One of my subordinates got this news from an adventurer by chance......" he suddenly twitched as he spoke. He had wanted to tell Sù Ashrufat the name of his loyal and capable old subordinate, but suddenly he found that he couldn't remember who it was. What's going on? Is it because I was so excited to get this information that the director even had a mistake in his memory for a while?

While he was still in a state of doubt, Ashrufat interrupted his train of thought.

"Could this be a trap?" said Ashrufat, frowning. While he knew that Chaos often played cards out of order, this time it was too ...... Arrogant. "Can you guarantee that your message is correct?"

"Of course I ......" Parry tried to speak, but was interrupted by someone else.

"I've got this information too. Bayral chimed in. He held out three fingers, "Three days' journey, three or four thousand troops! For this, I lost four whole teams of capable scouts." ”

There was no doubt about it, and almost all eyes were fixed on the map spread out on the table. It had a detailed picture of the information they needed.

"Plains, open terrain, suitable for the deployment of superior forces. Barranca was the first to say.

"Ahead lies the city of Fache, where the enemy has ambushed an overwhelming army, if it really is a trap...... Our troops should be able to withdraw into the city in time to hold on. Sticking to a few days shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Behind here is a hilly area with complex topography. Bayrell said. "There is only one valley to pass through. Even if the battle is unfavorable, it can still rely on this place to stop the enemy. ”

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and it was almost perfect conditions. Even a cautious man like Beller thinks it's a shame to let this opportunity go. This must have been an arrogant demonstration by the Chaos Legion - perhaps the Coalition had been in Neustria for a long time, motionless, and had given them some illusion.

There is only one question to follow, who will lead the way?

As in Marven's analysis above, logically speaking, Ashrufar was not suitable to personally lead an army to command a battle of this scale, and among the four, the most suitable person was Barranca. But this time, someone stepped forward.

"Let me teach these bold Chaos believers a lesson. Parry said confidently.

......

Bayral stopped his horse.

His small group had left the hilly terrain, and there was already an open plain ahead. As far as the eye can see, the grass is green, and the sky is like a huge cover, covering the fields ahead.

As you can tell from the map, the terrain ahead is the same - or at least similar. This is a great plain, and if it weren't for the constant invasion of Chaos, it would have become a very prosperous place: full of farmland, crops, ...... Forests and meadows are just dotted around. Can there be 100,000 people here? Or more?

Bayral pulls his mind back from the imagination to reality. It's the perfect battlefield -- when your forces are superior. You can deploy your forces and attack the enemy from all sides, without being stopped by the damn terrain. When you have twice or three times the enemy's strength, everyone will love this plain.

And, even if you lose the battle - you'll have plenty of room to escape. As long as you're not so unlucky and the enemy doesn't chase after you, there's still a good chance you'll be able to escape.

But for some reason, a hint of gloom drifted over Beller's forehead.

"Everybody rests. "Robin, ......over there," Baylor ordered, "Robin, over there," he pointed to a small hill ahead. "Set up some fortifications. ”

"General, we should move on......" Robin looked at the men behind him. This time, Bayral carried very few troops, just over three hundred. It had been more than three days since Parry set out, but he hadn't sent a magical message to the rear, which in itself alerted Eshurufat.

In fact, as anyone can see, the detachment led by Beller did not come as reinforcements. In fact, Bayral was only going to conduct a reconnaissance himself—a force that would allow him not to worry about the enemy's elusive reconnaissance troops.

To be honest, Robin also thinks it should be fine. He knew that his general was always cautious, but this time he was too cautious. General Parry's troops outnumbered the enemy by two or three times, and were in a battlefield suitable for superior forces, with a city in front to shelter the army and good terrain in the rear to block the enemy's pursuit......

"It's an order. Bayral replied.

This sentence blocked all Robin's prevarication, and he could only do it. He began to direct the people to set up the fortifications. Luckily, the unit carried a lot of tools - shovels were one of them. Thus, by noon, Robin had already set up fortifications in the place designated by Bayral, as well as a camp not far from the rear. This was because he could see that his general probably wouldn't go any further.

When the work was done, Robbie returned to where Bayral had stopped. All this time, Beller stood there looking into the distance, obviously pondering something.

"Shogun......"

Bayral made a silencing gesture. It took a while for his frown to finally stretch a little.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad. Bayral took the initiative.

"Why, General, you said before that this time General Parry has all the advantages......"

"Having an advantage and knowing how to use it are two different things. Bayral replied. "See where we are?"

"Here?"

"This is the main road, the rear is a hilly area that is conducive to defense, there is only one road to pass, and the front is a flat river that is not dangerous to defend. Bayrell said. "If you want to take advantage of this terrain, you have to arrange a sentinel here...... Two or three hundred soldiers were stationed, a simple camp and fortifications were placed. Only in this way can you say that you have gained an advantage. But Parry didn't. ”

"If he fights unfavorably, retreat back to ......"

"Even if it is conducive to the superior terrain of defending and blocking, but the newly defeated army, relying solely on the terrain field battle, there is no way to stop the strong enemy who takes advantage of the situation to cover and kill. Bayrell said. "Parry was so confident that he probably didn't think about the possibility of his own failure. ”

"Will he fail?"

"It's hard to say. Bayral replied. "The Chaos Legion is so bold to send a lone army to the vicinity of our army, it would be understandable if it was a mistake, but if it wasn't a mistake......"

"They arranged an ambush?"

"If an ambush is arranged, Parry will definitely retreat immediately. Withdraw or retreat into the city. But if it's not an ambush, it probably means that this Chaos Legion is the best of the best. In this case, even if you have two or three times the advantage of troops, you may not be able to win. He looked into the distance and said in a meaningful tone. "If Parry is defeated, then it means...... The defeated army was almost about to retreat back to this area. Look!"

Robin looked in the direction Bayral was pointing, and saw something moving in the distant field.
