Lord of War

"The reaction is not too slow." From a distance, William finally twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw that the attacking formation that had just been set up by the chasing enemy army turned into a defensive formation.

It was just an indifferent expression, but it just turned into a sneer.

With almost no need to think, William can also know what the other party is thinking at the moment. Obviously, it was because the opponent discovered that Reina and her cavalry unit were missing, so they chose to shrink the lineup to defend. After all, in the previous battle between 3,000 and 6,000, Rena's performance was too eye-catching. As for everyone's deep scruples about Reina and her cavalry unit-the defensive formation of 3,000 people was completely cut open under Reina's charge.

If it wasn't for Rui Na's charge to open up the opponent's formation, causing the opponent's central army to fall into chaos, and then successfully attacked the flank, it would be really difficult to start a head-on confrontation with an army of 3,000 people. .

This shows how terrifying Rena's halo skills are, especially since she is the commander of an army.

"This person is definitely not Domingo." William said in a deep voice, "I never thought that there would be such a cautious general with such excellent judgment in the Hastings family....But unfortunately, his vision is too small."

"How do you know he's not Domingo?" Sean stood beside William and asked with some doubts.

"If it was Domingo, he has already attacked." William said lightly, "Domingo has a very strong offensive awareness. This can be seen from the fact that he trained the Second Cavalry Regiment into an army that is particularly good at rushing to aid and rushing. You can see it. You have to know that the combat style of any army will be inherited from the general who leads them. If the general is more cautious and conservative, then this army will be better at defense.... In the same way, a If an army particularly advocates offense, then its generals will have a very strong sense of offense and aggression.”

Sean nodded half-understood.

However, William didn't expect Sean to understand this. He already knew that Sean was a shopkeeper type, but he didn't dislike such a lord, because he would never point fingers at things he didn't understand. What William hated the most was It's those guys who don't know how to pretend to know. Of course, Sean actually has a lot of things that William admires. For example, his vision of seeing people is very accurate. People like Rena and Alfred are not only outstanding but also have never had any problems.

Of course, there is a more important point, that is, he has no doubts about employing people.

It can be said that he trusts his subordinates very much, but in another way, he is very courageous.

"The growth of a general is not limited by his talent and ability, but by his vision." William continued, "The higher a general's vision is, the more he will see. When it comes to the strategic layout, the bigger the pattern will be. Similarly, the more you will see and think about when commanding the battle, the faster and more accurate the response will be."

"You mean, the commander-in-chief of the other side doesn't have the vision and structure?"

"No, on the contrary." William said, "I can now be sure that it is the idea of ​​this person, not Domingo, not to give up on Rofus, and to concentrate our forces to fight us. ... Even, This is also the person who fell on the bait I laid."

"I'm a little confused." Sean said bluntly, "You say that he has a good vision, and then you say that he was fooled by you when he made a mistake in judgment..."

Cecilia chuckled lightly.

He opened his mouth and added for William: "William means that without a certain vision, you will not find the bait he set up. But right now, even if this person has a good vision, he can find clues from some clues, but he can see The layout is still too small... Besides, it was a bait set by William himself, if he can see through it, wouldn't it mean that the other party is as good as William?"

Although everyone knew that Cecilia's last sentence was actually flattering William, but William was very useful.

"Are you interested in this person?" Sean glanced at William.

"If such a person cannot be used by us, we must deal with it as soon as possible." William's voice was very calm, but the killing intent in his tone was not concealed at all, "So once the opponent is defeated, anyone can escape, that's it. People cannot let him escape. If he is allowed to escape, as long as he is given enough time to digest after this battle, then he will definitely be a very difficult enemy in the future."

"I understand." Sean nodded, "Don't worry, as long as I find him, he will definitely not let him escape."

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's go." William still looked calm.

"Walk?"

"They just stopped to rest, and the formation changed so quickly, they must be almost exhausted now." William chuckled, "It's just our turn to march quickly. If the opponent doesn't want to lose us, they must After another quick march to keep up, who do you think will suffer the most exhaustion in the end?"

Hearing William's words, Sean immediately understood.

If a person is highly concentrated, they will not feel tired easily, but once they feel tired, it means that their physical and mental strength have almost reached their limits. If you rest at this time, your body will immediately send out various alarms, so it is easy to enter a weak state of deep fatigue, but if you do not get enough rest, you will continue to perform activities that require large-scale physical exertion. Then it is an overdraft of physical fitness.

Almost without any hesitation, under William's order, when Thain's army finished changing its formation, Sean's army immediately moved out again. And this time, at the speed of a rapid march, they quickly escaped from the sight of Thain and the others, but in just a blink of an eye, Xiao En and the others almost disappeared from the sight of Thain.

Seeing such a situation, Thain just froze for a moment, then immediately gritted his teeth and chose to pursue.

It's not that he didn't consider that it might be the opponent's ambush, but he has already chased here. If he doesn't continue to pursue, he will really be unwilling, and once the enemy army joins the troops that defeated the Second Cavalry Regiment of D'Abion , then he is even less sure of winning. So considering that there are only more than 2,000 people on the other side—Rina and her cavalry unit don't know where they are now, and there are only more than 1,000 people left on the other side, and the ratio between the two sides is close to ten to one. Then it would be too embarrassing to spread it.

And after seeing the army led by Ting Qi choose to pursue, William shook his head lightly: "Sure enough, his vision is not broad enough." Speaking of this, he said to Sean: "Although this man has a good strategy, he also has certain Vision and judgment, but he is too eager for quick success, and a series of mistakes have driven him to a desperate situation. Although it can be judged that this person is relatively cautious from the fact that Ruina was missing and immediately turned from offensive to defensive, but this kind of caution is just Relatively speaking."

"If it was you, what would you do?" Sean was a little curious.

"Give up the pursuit, fully shrink the defense line of the entire territory, and it doesn't matter if you give up Lomingen, Roves, and Hastings Manor if necessary." William said lightly, "He can choose to give up Roves, which proves his courage He and his vision are still good, but it is a pity that he is still reluctant to give up Hastings Manor and Lomingen, otherwise he would not choose to chase us, but go back to trouble Fred directly, so Fred and his Thunderbolt The Lions will really suffer a big loss, and they may even withdraw from this battle early."

"So cruel?"

"Don't forget, the location and people are not on our side." William said softly, "Now, it depends on his vision."

No Thain didn't know how William evaluated him, but if he was told, he would definitely feel very shocked, and he wouldn't even choose to continue chasing William. Because in fact, as William commented, Thain really has no way out at all. The successive defeats led by Tinch, the retreat of the Second Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang, and Domingo's illness all weighed heavily on him. The weight of the burden made Thain almost breathless.

He urgently needs a major victory to appease the hearts of the people and the army, and only in this way can the Nugus family not feel that their Hastings family is a waste.

Therefore, Thain did not stop chasing.

The two armies, just chasing and fleeing, ran all the way in the direction of Dayi along the border between Jedby and Tinkyin.

For four full days, Thain did not choose to give up. As long as Sean's army stopped to rest, Thain would order the army to approach, forcing Sean and others to have no rest time. Of course, once night falls, the armies of both sides will still choose to rest in a tacit understanding, but usually at dawn, Sean's army will take the lead. almost.

If you don't understand the situation, you won't even think that these two armies belong to opposing camps.

At night on the fifth day, William did not let the whole army continue on their way, but chose to rest in place. Ever since he chose to rest at nightfall on the first night, he encountered a surprise attack from the Thain faction. From the second day on, William did not choose to rest at nightfall, but drove until late at night before ordering the army to stop and rest. Liang set off immediately. Although the rest time was greatly reduced in this way, and hundreds of soldiers even fell because of it, William still did not make any changes.

until tonight.

William looked at the enemy army less than a mile away from his side, his eyes became extremely indifferent: "Unfortunately, I have been completely blinded by victory, and have lost the calmness and rationality that a commander should have....Everything will be over tonight. It can be over."

After rushing day and night for four consecutive days, the entire army has become extremely exhausted. Coupled with the night raids encountered before and the non-combat attrition on the road, there are now less than a thousand people left. It was still Clover's Cecilia Guards who suffered the most losses. After all, this unit was the most capable unit. Naturally, they rushed to the forefront during battles, so the reduction in personnel was naturally the most tragic.

But at this moment, Clover and his Cecilia Guards looked extremely excited.

Even a messy image can't cover up the aura exuded by this army.

As for the other pitch-black wing unit, it is no longer a unit at all. After all, heavy infantry will definitely have a great impact on the speed of escape, so when they abandoned the barracks and left that day, pitch-black wings did not wear the proper equipment, but chose Travel light. And these days, the most serious non-combat attrition is also this unit, but everyone knows that the establishment of the dark wings is still too short after all, and the training volume is far from reaching the standard. However, after this battle, I am afraid it will Something has changed.

Just as William was staring at the enemy, Sion was also staring at the enemy.

But at this moment, Thain, not to mention his beard, his eyes were even redder, and he looked extremely haggard and tired.

In fact, not only him, but the entire army under his command also looked the same, and at this moment there were no longer 10,000 people, but only 8,000 people left. Because if you want to talk about the heaviest loss of non-combat attrition in long-distance raids, it will definitely not be the dark wings, but Thain's army.

Thain knew that after chasing for so long, he had already cut off his retreat. But he knows that all this will end tonight, because he has chased to less than one mile away from the enemy. This distance can be said to be non-existent, but the two sides have a very tacit understanding and did not choose to be at this distance Go to war.

But Thain knew that he was running out of time. According to his budget, the troop that defeated Darbion's Second Cavalry Regiment had only two days left at most before it would complete the rendezvous with Sean's army. So he must annihilate this army with less than a thousand people left tonight. Only in this way can Ting Qi's shame of consecutive defeats be washed away.

And the way he chose to fight was night attack.

A large-scale night attack of 8,000 people attacking 1,000 people! (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team @冰山berg123] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. ) Bring @蜜豆装吧@小乐鸡@神士导师
