Chapter 292
The night raids begin.

Vega led a total of 3 people in three regiments to prepare for a frontal attack.

The ultimate purpose of this night attack was to show a certain determination to win Tully City, and at the same time to fiddle with Ingril's already extremely tense nerves and interfere with his correct judgment and thinking.

It's like being frightened by a bird.

As long as you pull the bowstring below, even if there is no arrow on the bow, the bird that has been injured by the arrow will think that it has been hit by the arrow and fall downward.

Will English be fooled?

As seen in Vega, this is entirely possible if done properly.

Because his preliminary work has been done well enough, those large camps prepared for pretentiousness and the thick smoke rising on time at the meal time probably made Ingril think that what he holds in his hands is an army, not a brigade group.

"To sum up, this battle must be won."

After Veigar gave a brief explanation to everyone, he ordered the siege to begin.

boom boom-

The flame explosion of the fire magician first tore through the pitch-black night, and slammed into the enemy's city gate. With only three light attacks, it shattered the thick city gate and opened the way for the attack to enter the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Because of English's order to be vigilant, the enemy's reaction was not slow. They sent a warning signal immediately, and the nearby mage troops had already come out of the city gate, forming a defensive and counterattack formation.

Besides.

Columns of soldiers on the tower are already in full battle, and the longbows in their hands have been drawn to the full moon.

"The whole army! Attack!"

Under Veigar's order, the whole army launched its first attack on Tali City.

Since Veigar didn't have too many troops, in order to create the illusion of "I'm strong", he ordered all the troops to attack, and the defending Royal Army was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Scout, scout."

English on the tower screamed in horror: "I need to get exact data on how many troops the enemy has. If this fierce attack can continue until dawn, we will be finished."

"Reporting to the seat of the division, the reconnaissance team cannot detect it."

The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion was also sweating profusely. He said tremblingly: "Recently, our department has suffered heavy losses under your frequent reconnaissance orders. Now we really can't send more scouts, and in this kind of situation In the dark night all around, even if there are enough people, it is impossible to detect the specific number."

boom!
Ingril kicked the reconnaissance battalion commander: "If you are short of manpower, you can go to investigate in person. If I don't get the specific figures within an hour, I will kill you."

"Master seat calm down, teacher seat calm down."

The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said: "Although the exact value cannot be ascertained, judging from the extent of the enemy's current attack, there are about 2-3 main forces of the division."

"2-3 divisions?"

Ingril took a breath in his eyes, and the estimated number in his mind was about the same as that estimated by the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

Therefore, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion said that he was basically sure that Vega's frontal troops had three divisions, otherwise it would be impossible for the first wave of attack to be so violent.Generally, in a siege battle, the first wave is a tentative attack, which is also the weakest attack.

So what to do now?
The idea of ​​abandoning Tully City and breaking out from the north gate resurfaced uncontrollably.

If there are 3 divisions on the front, then it is definitely impossible to fight. Why not take advantage of the strength of one division and break through directly from the north gate.If you are lucky, did you succeed in breaking through directly?
But is it really good to just give up city defense like this?
Ingril's heart fluctuated left and right, and he was naturally clear about the strategic importance of Tully City.

If Tali City is occupied by the enemy.

Then all the troops of the Holy Dynasty in the east can cross the Dunbu River through the large port west of Tali City, and regroup in the west, and the Kingdom Army also lost the opportunity to keep the royal family and other group armies in the east and wipe them out.

Ingril gritted his teeth.

He said to the adjutant next to him: "Turn the 7th Regiment over to resist, and at the same time inform the staff to go to the temporary combat command here. I want to hold a discussion meeting on whether to retreat or defend."

One person counts short, two counts long.

Ingril realized that he could no longer maintain a clear combat thinking, and at the same time, the fear of Vegar in his heart had broken through the sky, so at this time he decided to follow the advice of the staff.

----

rustle.

Like a gust of wind passing by, this little sound was like a firefly and a bright moon compared to the explosion of elemental magic, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

That's right, this is the Shadow Mage Squad who started the trick.

In a war, mage assassins like shadow mages often play an important role in assassinating enemy elemental mages or performing beheading tactics behind enemy lines. Of course, the former is often more common, while the latter is relatively rare.

the reason is simple.

In a team of elemental mages, due to the rarity, sometimes there will be no word spirit mages, but the elite mage guards responsible for defending the combat headquarters will definitely deploy 1-2 famous word spirit mages.

Therefore, the former has a high probability of success, while the probability of paralyzing the headquarters is small.

But this time, Veigar ordered the Shadow Mage team to abandon the assassination of the Elemental Mage, and instead lurked into the city to execute a beheading tactic with a very low probability of success against the enemy's combat headquarters.

Isn't this doing useless work?

It would be useless to do it normally, but this time Vega risked his life and personally led the mage team to take down the enemy's headquarters. With his eight or nine combat skills and the strength of magic, he still I really don't believe that a temporary combat command can't be lost. After all, the temporary combat command is not the general command.

So why did Vega, who was always afraid of death, work so hard?

The reason is also very simple. He first ordered the execution of the night attack in order to prevent the enemy from detecting the specific strength of the troops. At the same time, he used high-intensity attacks to create the illusion that he had several divisions. less than an hour.

In other words.

If he failed to bluff Ingril within an hour, he would reveal himself.

And now 20 minutes have passed, but the Royal Army has no intention of retreating at all, so Veigar can only do it himself to add fuel to this war - beheading the enemy's temporary combat headquarters.

As long as the temporary headquarters is destroyed.

Then English must have realized that the intensity of the attack this time was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Coupled with the psychological shadow caused to English in the past, Vega did not believe that he would order to defend the city.

"General, I found it."

The captain of the shadow mage team pointed towards the small private house in Yidong 2 City in front of it. There was a team of elemental mages protecting it, and the two words and spirit mages behind the elemental mage were on high alert.
