Blood Dragon

Chapter 340

The formation of this battle, the two sides are almost identical, and there is no tactical advantage at all.On the surface, both sides chose the same tactic because of "coincidence".

The book of war is very clear about this situation.Under the same tactics, the final victory or defeat depends on the combat strength of the two armies, on the morale, discipline, and tenacity of both sides, on the equipment and training of both sides, and on whether the commander has made a mistake in dispatching before the battle.

Although the Gruni army under the command of Ashrufat fought to defend the country and had high morale, the morale of the Chaos Legion would never be low.If you simply measure combat power on paper, the conclusion is obvious.Gruny's army is at a disadvantage.

However, Ashurfat just won the battle with almost no advantage—of course, he paid a lot of casualties, but no one thinks that this kind of victory does not need any price, right? ——So Baylor took this matter to test two students.Well, that's right, Baylor's posture at this time is the way a teacher tests his students.

"Central!" Robin also uttered a scream, and then he instantly understood Thaler's meaning. "Central...so that's how it is."

"Ha, I see." Belleur laughed. "Not bad, a little savvy." He touched the paper with his finger and said softly. "Ashuruffat's left wing defeated the blood fang lord's right wing first, but Ashuruffat's right wing successfully resisted the blood fang lord's left wing—at least it delayed enough time. Obviously the overall battle He was at a disadvantage in power, but he was able to accomplish such an incredible thing... The reason is actually very simple, because he mobilized the power in the center and strengthened the left and right wings. The so-called slash tactics, the orders issued by the general are mostly similar: roughly the elite One wing assaults, the center is steady and steady, and the weaker wing is on the defensive. And Aishuruffat made full use of this...he made full use of the fact that Lord Bloodfang's center would not attack with all its strength... …The arrangement of his central army is very interesting: it looks quite powerful, but in fact it is vain, unable to withstand a real onslaught. And the center of the Chaos Legion is indeed as he expected. Although it also takes the initiative to attack, the offensive is not Not violent, the battle was stalemate, mainly waiting for the left wing to win. So... this matter is quite interesting. Rather than saying that this is a... accidental coincidence, it is better to say that this is a... specifically targeted layout."

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Thaler asked a question. "There is no reason for General Ashurfat to know the details of the enemy's formation in advance."

"A lot of things can be analyzed and deduced." Baylor said with a smile. "As long as you have a clear mind, you can deduce something that others find incredible. So never underestimate a general's ability to analyze problems. Especially an excellent general." He suddenly smiled secretly. "Information is always one of the most important jobs of a general. A captured prisoner, a document stolen by a spy, a report sent by a scout... Sometimes, it can determine the outcome of a war, or even a the survival of the nation."

"In short," Robin had heard similar remarks from Baylor. "General Ashrufat somehow knew the tactics of the Chaos Legion, right?"

"I think...it should be like this." Belleer replied.

"General Beryl!" A voice came from outside.Baylor immediately stuffed the paper with the layout diagram under the map, and then called out, "Come in."

The person who came in was a short man, and he could tell from his armor that he was a messenger—although magic communication was quite popular, secret letters were still a reliable method when it came to confidentiality. "Your Excellency Beler, General Ashuruffat has brought you an urgent order."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Belleur respectfully.

Baylor scanned the file quickly and answered calmly. "I see. You can reply to General Ashuruffat, and I will follow orders."

The messenger left, and Robin asked impatiently. "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Ashrufat told me to break camp immediately and go to White Castle." Belleur said.

"However, almost all of our troops are infantry..."

"He said he would meet me on the way," Baylor said.He frowned slightly, then suddenly asked a question.

"You say, why did Ashurfat issue this order?"

"Because..." Robin wanted to say, "Ashuruffat wants to use our soldiers as cannon fodder as much as possible", but thinking that Thaler is also a Gruni, he shrank back the last half of the sentence.

"Probably because...the Chaos Base Camp under Gaohua City has been breached." Thaler said.

"That's right...there...there are actually not many troops left. There are enough troops and magicians in Gaohua City. We only need magic communication to inform them of the current situation. It is not difficult to defeat the enemies outside the city with the troops in the city. Even if the defenders are very careful, it only takes one or two days of repeated verification of the magic communication to confirm the correctness of the information." Belle muttered softly to himself. "What... does he want to do now?"

"Okay, Robin, help me go out and inform the soldiers... It's not too late today, let's break out of camp and set off immediately!"

"My lord, are you really going to White Castle? If Ashrufat fails to arrive halfway, it means that we may have to attack... White Castle alone. Although the number of Chaos defenders inside is wrong, it is White Castle after all. , if you attack the city..."

Robin's concerns are justified.If Ashurfat gave Belle an order to "siege the city immediately", no matter what Belle did, he would at least have to achieve certain results (or pay certain casualties) to deal with it.

No matter which one it is, it is estimated that Ashuruffat would like to see it.

"I have to go." Belleur smiled wryly. "I'm just a lieutenant general. Such a blatant disobedience...is really inappropriate."

……

"My lord, General Barranca asks to see you."

Following the briefing from the guards, Baranca walked into the tent. Although it had been two days since he received the news of Baylor's victory, Baranca still had unconcealable excitement and joy on his face.

A man who was born as a mercenary like him, who was valued by the monarch and made a fortune, understood best what this victory would bring.For soldiers, there is only one thing that can shut up all the jealous people, make people step on the steps of prosperity, and win the favor of the monarch for a long time, and that is the record.When Barranca was a mercenary, he didn't lack record (otherwise he wouldn't be a lieutenant general), but after he became a knight, this is the record he can really show off.

Without a record, even if the little girl is grateful for his team at the critical moment, she can only give him the title of knight.But now...the next step is within reach.

"Your Mightiness……"

"Don't be so alien, call me Aishuruffat." Ashuruffat smiled.He knew that the little girl must have made some private wish to Barranca - presumably it was a matter of canonization as a nobleman.Ashurfat didn't attach much importance to his title of "Count", but he knew that some people valued these titles very much.

Among the nobles, friends of similar status can indeed call each other by name without adding suffixes such as "Your Excellency" and "Adult".Of course, the premise must be that the status of both parties is roughly equal.Therefore, the title of Ashrufat is very polite.

"Ashrufat..." Balanka hesitated, but finally spoke. "The opportunity is rare right now, why not pursue Qingqi immediately and block the Chaos base camp under Gaohua City? Letting these Chaos troops retreat to White Castle will cause a lot of trouble."

Balanca originally suggested accepting it as soon as it was good, but now that they have wiped out the Chaos Legion, he has become a staunch supporter of regaining the White Castle.

"I... have a question that I can't figure out." Ashuruffat sighed softly and said suddenly. "In the past, someone gambled with me. I knew he had bad intentions and wanted to cheat me. So I hid my hole cards and tried to mislead him. In the end, he lost all his money because of a wrong calculation. Money." Ashuruffat paused. "At this time, he first showed a very angry expression... Then, suddenly he congratulated me, congratulated me on winning. Finally, he told me, don't think this is the final victory... Do you think, why would he Show such an attitude?"

In particular, Barranca is actually a frequent visitor to the casino—most of the mercenaries who lick their blood are frequent visitors to the casino—so the question Ashuruffat raised is not the wrong person.

Balanka hesitated for a moment, he couldn't understand why Ashuruffat asked this inexplicable question.But he finally answered. "According to my experience... you have to be careful. This is a typical plan to refuse to admit it. Of course, casinos and the like have to admit it, and it's hard to say outside the casino. The best way is not to leave the casino. Call some reliable people to help. Otherwise, you may find a group of helpers waiting for you with weapons when you turn the corner."

"But... What I'm sure of is that he lost all his money, so he can't find anyone to help him."

"He will never lose all his money!" Balanca replied firmly, and then he suddenly recalled it. "You mean... that... Marvin?"

Ashurufat nodded, and then said, "I lied to him," said Ashurufat couldn't help showing a smug smile. "Didn't do what he said, but used the information he provided...to wipe out the Chaos Legion."

"Marvin... what does he want?"

"I guess he wants White Castle." Ashuruffat replied. "Originally it was Lord Bloodfang who ruled White Castle... To seize control of White Castle, Lord Bloodfang must be defeated. This is a very difficult thing, so Marvin did the opposite... He did not attack Lord Bloodfang, but encouraged him to march south, with our help, to eliminate Lord Bloodfang, so that he can smoothly control White Castle." He said. "Our victory was kind of given to me...it's just that I wasn't satisfied with that victory."

"Cunning guy." Balanka also came back to his senses.Of course, Marvin had promised him the White Castle—but everyone knew that the words of the Chaos Wizard could not be trusted, so Barranca had always been skeptical of that promise. "The final result is that we and the Bloodfang Lord are both losers, and Marvin can take advantage of the fisherman and even receive the remaining soldiers of the Bloodfang Lord... Wait!"

Barranca yelled suddenly, Ashuruffat raised his head and looked at the other person's face.

"Even if Lord Bloodfang is defeated, he won't necessarily die! So if Marvin really wanted White Castle, he wouldn't be a white wolf with empty hands...so..."

The two exchanged glances with each other, and instantly came to the same conclusion.

"Near the White Castle, there is another Chaos Legion hidden!"
