Chapter 249: Enemy on the Belly and Back

After occupying the Oron Fortress, Sawan immediately ordered someone to count the materials hoarded in the fortress, the Oron Fortress is an important material transit point for the king's army, and now it is occupied by Savin, and it won't be long before the king's army on the front line will be in a hurry.

After some counting, everyone was surprised by the materials hoarded in the Oron Fortress, only to see that the grain, forage, and various ordnance were piled up like a hill, and it was roughly estimated that it was at least enough for the consumption of 50,000 troops for a month. Sawin sighed: "With so many supplies, even if they are transported, it will take a month or two to transport, and the mobilization of the whole country is really not comparable to a territory." ”

After a day's rest, Sawan had Seria garrison Oron with a thousand men and reorganize the surrender of the army, while he himself left the fortress with two thousand cavalry and swooped down on the back of the king's army.

All this was planned by Sawan a long time ago, once the news of the fall of the Oron Fortress reached the front line, it would inevitably cause panic among the King's army, and it was their inevitable choice to return to the army to recapture the fortress, and Sawin would carry out a sneak attack on the way back from the King's army. At the same time, Sahain also ordered that Logaris immediately lead an army to support, and he would pack the king's army and trap it under the fortress of Oren.

As Sawin had expected, the news of the attack on the fortress of Oron reached the king's army, causing panic immediately. Despite the strict secrecy demanded from the top, rumors inevitably spread among the military.

"Did you hear that?The Oron Fortress is lost, and our retreat has been cut off......

"What! What are we going to do? Can we still get rations?"

"Don't be stupid, the Oren Fortress has been lost, how can the military rations be delivered!"

"Oh my God, what are we going to do?"

"How did the Oron Fortress get lost, and how are we going to get home?"

The gossip spread at a very fast pace, and after two or three days the whole army knew about it, and the panic was spreading rapidly, and even a small number of deserters had already appeared.

Malves and his cousin, King of Pesanis, Cedo, were sitting sullenly in the big tent when suddenly an officer came running and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, another group of deserters have been arrested, and ask Your Majesty to dispose of them." ”

King Cecedo is a powerful man, and he is not the same type as Malwes at all, so he saw Cecedo slap the table and stand up angrily and shouted: "These dogs!

Seeing that Cesedo was angry, the officer did not dare to say anything, but withdrew from the tent with a word of promise, and after a while, he heard a cry from outside the tent......

When Malwes heard the screams of the soldiers, he felt a little unbearable, so he said to Cesedo: "It's not a way to kill like this, I think it's better to return to the army, and after recapturing the Oron Fortress, we will march again." ”

Cecedo, who had more experience in military affairs than Malves, shook his head and said, "This method is too risky, and if we can't recapture the fortress soon after returning to the army, we will be in a dilemma." ”

"But......" Mulves said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "It is very difficult for us to defeat the enemy army now, and if we drag it any longer, I am afraid that more and more soldiers will escape." ”

What Malveis said was also true, after several days of fighting, it was clear that they were no match for the enemy, and only had the advantage of strength to maintain the current stalemate. Since learning that the fortress of Oron was lost, Malves and Cesedo have been in a dilemma, and if they return to the army, they are likely to face the disadvantage of being attacked on their backs, but if they do not return to the army, they are not sure that they will be able to defeat the enemy in front of them, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

The more Cesedo thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he couldn't understand why the so dangerous fortress of Oron had been so easily lost. He slammed his fist on the table and scolded angrily, "I'm going to kill these bitches!" Mulves knew that he was talking about the defenders of Oron Fortress, and his cousin was brave and decisive and had nothing to say, but he was too short-tempered, especially when faced with big things.

After thinking about it, Malveis felt that there was still only one way to return to the army, since the last time he fought with the Savan army, there was always a lack of confidence in defeating the other party, and the other party had the support of the magician, and this alone made them helpless. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he always tried to avoid going head-to-head with the Savin army, consciously or unconsciously.

"Let's go back to the army, as long as the army doesn't suffer too much loss, there will be a chance to ...... next time," Mulves said in a calm tone as much as he could.

In fact, Cesedo also intended to return to the army, but he always felt unwilling, and vowed to help his cousin recapture Heronys, but he didn't expect to fall into a difficult situation without even seeing the walls of Tetur, and he was always conceited that he couldn't accept such a half-way result.

"Tomorrow, let's fight again tomorrow, if we can't win, we'll go back!" Cicedo found a step for himself, although he knew in his heart that tomorrow's battle would probably not be different.

Saven's 2,000 cavalry did not directly launch a surprise attack on the king's army, he was patiently waiting that the king's army would definitely return to attack the fortress of Oren, and the other party had no choice in this matter. Although there is also a possibility that the other side will not return to the army and continue to attack, Sawin is convinced that Hortz will not let this happen.

The longer the time dragged on, the morale of the king's army would only be lowered, and returning to the army was their only option.

"My lord, we have been waiting for three days, and there is still no sign of the King's army retreating from the front. An officer came to report it, but the meaning of his words was that he was skeptical of the current strategy.

Sawan smiled: "Don't worry, they will definitely withdraw their troops, and the later they retreat, the worse it will be for them." ”

As the sky grew darker, Savin suddenly ordered that he should not take off his armor tonight, and that he should be ready for battle at any time. According to Samin's estimates, the retreat of the king's army should have been within a day or two.

Savan's estimate was correct, in fact, the king had begun to retreat gradually and orderly two days earlier, and Cesedo was quite experienced, and knew that the retreat was dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might be chased by the enemy, so he let his troops retreat step by step for the camp, so the time was only a few days later than expected.

In the middle of the month, Sahain was napping when the soldier in charge of the sentry suddenly came to report: "My lord, the enemy is coming. ”

When Sawin heard this, he immediately sat up and asked in a deep voice, "How many are there?"

"It's too dark to see clearly, it's estimated that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people. The sentry said with some hesitation.

Sawin thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The main force of the other party has not yet arrived, everyone continues to rest." The scout keeps a good eye on me, and I can report back at any time. ”

After waiting for another two or three hours, the person in charge of the reconnaissance came again to report: "My lord, another army is coming, and there are about 30,000 people." ”

Sawin smiled when he heard this, and said to the herald beside him: "Immediately call everyone up and prepare for battle!"

When Cesedo retreated, he deliberately divided the army into two armies, the front and rear, separated by more than ten miles, so that the two armies could support each other in order to prevent being intercepted and pursued. Savin deliberately spared the front army, and waited for the rear army to arrive before launching a sneak attack, and now it is the opponent's rear army that is coming.

Two thousand horsemen jumped on horseback and hid in the dense forest by the roadside, and after two days of hurrying, the king's army was not as cautious as it had been at the beginning, and the soldiers were very tired at night, and no one would have thought that there was still a cavalry hiding here.

"Attack!" Savan ordered, and the cavalry rushed out of the dense forest with a loud shout.

The king's army was when they were sleepy and tired, when they suddenly heard the sound of an ambush, and immediately panicked, and in the darkness they saw a heavily armed cavalry suddenly slaughter into the long line, and many soldiers were crushed by the cavalry before they could resist. In the face of the powerful impact of the cavalry, the soldiers of the king's army could not organize effective resistance at all, and soon broke up completely, and fled in all directions without a clue.

Sahain's cavalry attacked the king's army again and again, and the originally neat ranks turned into a plate of scattered sand, and tens of thousands of troops were chased all the way behind by 2,000 cavalry, rushing behind the front army.

In the new year, we will continue to ask for everyone's support!
