Chapter 291 bluff
Two days later.

After finishing his troops, Veigar took the remaining 8000 soldiers out of the Tuli Grand Canyon and headed towards Tuli City.

The purpose this time is simple, to take down Tully City.

If you want to capture a city, you must first know yourself and the enemy, especially the number of enemy troops, the distribution of troops in the city, and the surrounding geographical environment.

Through the last canyon blocking battle, Veigar learned.

There is a total of one airborne division in Tali City, about 1.8 people, including the advanced military force, aviation force, and main force, which are more than twice the strength of Vega's current force.

In addition, the Kingdom's army did not lose in the last blocking battle, but Veigar's troops suffered a huge blow. In this way, let alone a siege, it may not necessarily win the frontal battle.

Besides.

Tali City faces the Dunbu River in the west and the Taliban Mountains in the northeast. It can be regarded as a city that can be attacked and defended.The reason why Tali City fell at the beginning was because the Kingdom Army unexpectedly attacked the North Gate from the Taliban Mountains where it was impossible to march.

If the Royal Army launched an attack from the front east gate, it would be almost impossible to lose.

Here and there.

At this time, Veigar's troops are heading towards the east gate. The current Kingdom Army has deployed four gates, and there is no gap at all, so there is no deviation in choosing which gate to attack, and it is impossible to do a surprise attack. .

Can such a city really be captured?

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to attack such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city without three times the force, and Ingril seems to be afraid of him, which will lead to tighter city defenses.

Veigar is well aware of this.

But there are pros and cons to everything. Before coming here, he was ready to use Ingril's fear of him and overcautious psychology to win by surprise.

A lesson from the past, a teacher from behind.

According to Ingril's psychological shadow, Vega predicted that even if he had the upper hand, he would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack. What the opponent would do would definitely be to strictly guard the city and wait for the final order from his superiors.

Based on this.

Veigar was about to put on a look of winning, scaring Ingril into giving up the city.

According to the battle in the canyon, Veigar knew that the defenders of Tully City were a division, but Ingril didn't know that Veigar's troops had only one brigade.If this kind of asymmetrical information is used well, it is entirely possible to frighten Ingril, who feels hopeless in defense, and eventually abandons the city to "break through".

Then the problem is coming.

How can we use a brigade-level force to pretend to be an army of tens of thousands of people, and by the way, show a strong posture of "labor and management are the best in the world" and "labor and management are going to drive you to death"?

Other Veigars don't know, but when it comes to pretending...

Speaking of acting!Veigar thinks he can't lose to anyone.

He just glanced at the city and thought about it: "Regiment 1 and Regiment 2, take your troops and surround me with 4 gates of Tali City, but you have to set up camp in the forest thousands of kilometers away. At the same time, every Make a lot of cooking smoke at mealtime, and arrange the mage team to be ready to kill the scouts, remember that no scouts are allowed to be sent back."

"3, 4, 5 regiments."

Veigar glanced at the three regiment leaders behind: "You will follow me to launch a night attack from the east gate tonight. I want to say hello to that old friend and poke his sensitive nerves by the way."

"Yes, Lord Brigadier."

The regiment leaders who received the order immediately acted according to Vega's request. Although they didn't understand the intention of Vega's order, as subordinates, they would not question the commander's order.

"General, I have a question."

Adjutant Yi Luo waited for several regiment leaders to leave before he asked puzzledly: "Since ancient times, siege battles have always been siege, and the fear is that the enemy army knows that there is no hope of retreating, so they will fight to the death, which will eventually lead to heavy losses for our army. Why do you want to encircle all four city gates? And the troops in charge of encircling the city are too small, I am afraid that this few people cannot stop the Royal Army."

"Wang Guojun doesn't have the guts to fight me to the death."

Vega said confidently: "As for the encirclement and the lack of one? It doesn't exist. I just want to hint to Ingril that this battle must kill him. Otherwise, how can we make him believe that our army has a chance of winning, rather than being strong outside the middle? .”

----

Tully City, upstairs in the North City.

This was the last city gate that Ingril inspected. Half a day ago, he got the news that the Tali City where he was stationed had been surrounded. He didn't need to think about it and knew it was done by that brat.

Now he already regrets staying in this city.

If I knew this, I should have left this ghostly place first. Why listen to the advice of the staff and garrison the city?

"Have the scouts returned?"

Seeing the adjutant approaching, Ingril asked quickly.

But the adjutant did not bring him good news: "Master, none of the scouts have returned so far, and they may have been killed. May I ask if you will send aviation troops to scout the enemy's situation?"

"It's fine to kill a few scouts, but you still want to ruin the aviation unit?"

Pointing to the skyrocketing smoke in the distance, Ingril said: "Look at the size of the smoke, any fool knows that there is a standard division of about 1.6 people surrounding the North Gate, sending out war airships rashly will only cause unnecessary trouble." loss."

"May I ask what the general should do?"

Ingril sighed: "There is the main force of that brat at the east gate. Judging from the size of the camp and the thickness of the smoke, the other three gates must be the same as the north gate, each with a division. The brat made it clear We are going to kill us all, let's stick to the city first and try, if it doesn't work, we can only use our lives to break through."

"Which city gate should we break through?"

After being told by English, the adjutant also began to feel guilty.

However, Ingril is also quite experienced in escaping. He pointed directly to the front and said: "The north gate is close to the Taliban Mountains. Although it is a bit difficult for large troops to march, we passed through here when we came. Now we will be familiar with the road when we go back. I believe it will be very difficult for that brat to catch up with us. The only problem is how to break through the encircling troops in a short time. Once we are stopped by them, the troops from the other three directions will encircle us, and we may not be able to escape.”

Ingril looked at the smoke in the distance, lost in thought.

at the same time.

Veigar was already ready for the night attack. He looked at the officers and said, "This battle must boost our morale. If we don't give the enemy commander a sense of crisis, our plans will be in vain."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Brigadier, we will definitely attack with all our strength."

Veija hummed, and then continued: "This time I will also come to the front line to command in person. Whether I can scare the enemy away depends on this battle. If I fail, the enemy may find out the clues. At that time, not only It’s as simple as giving up all previous efforts.”

So the soldiers and horses were assembled, and Veigar launched a night attack in the early morning.
