When Linton saw Garsain, the other party was regrouping and preparing to set off. He was a little surprised to see Linton's arrival, but he and Linton quickly arrived at the camp.
"Tell me, under what circumstances can you lose just like this?" Linton said.
"Who knew that the enemy would take the initiative to attack? And judging from the situation, they seemed to have anticipated our advance route. They had prepared so many things, and they didn't know how they knew about our plan." From Gasser's perspective,
He was also quite dissatisfied and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Are you being attacked by the defenders of the gold mine?" Linton asked.
"Yeah." Gasein nodded. They already knew during the previous combat meeting that the gold mine had an army. After all, such an important place always had a garrison on standby. However, the number of garrison troops in the gold mine was not
There are a lot of troops, probably about five or six hundred people, so Gaseon thinks that even if the other party discovers the movements of his troops, they will at most tighten defenses at the station. Who would have thought that they would take the initiative to attack and do so in advance?
After preparing for the fire attack, they obviously did this because they knew their advance route in advance.
"Did the opponent guess it?" Linton said, "The guard of the opponent's gold mine seems to be a master."
"I remember that the name should be Tyra Grint." Garsain said, "It seems that he is indeed a somewhat famous general."
"Seems like? So you don't even know your opponent, you just know the name?" Linton said.
"I..." Garsain wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have nothing to say.
"If you lose, look for your own problems. Don't blame your opponent for being too strong. Otherwise, you can jump into the same pit several times." Linton said.
"I understand, it's my responsibility." Garsain nodded, "I underestimated the enemy too much."
"It seems that the enemy's troops really only have this few people, and they are not pursuing the pursuit, right?" Linton asked, because the battle happened last night, and Gasain had sorted out the remaining troops this morning. If the enemy continued to pursue, this defeated army would
It's possible that it was sorted out so quickly, and I guess I just didn't pursue it.
"The enemy did not pursue them," Gassern said. "The number of their troops is estimated to be the same as what we detected, only about five hundred people."
"The attack was successful, but there was no pursuit. The opponent's commander was not dazzled by the victory and calmly chose to retreat. Now he is probably rushing back to strengthen the defenses. This guy is very capable." Linton said, "It seems so.
It has been planned for a long time, and it is a troublesome opponent."
"It doesn't matter. After all, the enemy's troops only have 500 troops. I just took stock. We still have about 2,200 troops. No matter how hard the defenses at the gold mine are strengthened, they can't stop our troops," Gassern said.
.
"Since the enemy has seen through our actions, he has naturally calculated what will happen next." Linton said, "Now that the enemy has rushed back to defend, he should have also calculated how long he can block us, and at this time he
I guess I have also informed Disorn City of the current situation and asked them to send reinforcements."
"Hmm..." Gasein frowned, suddenly feeling a little bad. Yes, if the enemy really defends desperately and they cannot attack for a long time, wouldn't they be in great danger if the reinforcements sent by Disorn City arrive?
"I heard that we lost a lot of baggage in this ambush?" Linton asked.
"Yes, after the attack, the troops collapsed in chaos, and a large amount of baggage was left in place and burned directly." Gassern said.
"It seems that the commander-in-chief had no intention of wiping out our troops in this battle from the beginning. He was clearly aware of the disparity in numbers. This attack was intended to damage the morale of our troops first, and then if we lead troops to attack the gold mines
, as long as they persist for a period of time, the morale of our army will be even lower due to the lack of baggage. At this time, as long as the reinforcements from Disorn City arrive, the morale of our army will be even lower, while the morale of the enemy will be greatly boosted.
According to his calculation, that is the real opportunity to eliminate us," Linton said.
"What..." Gasein was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party's plan didn't know about the ambush and even included the subsequent battles. Could his opponent be such a powerful guy?
Garsain also panicked a little when he thought of this. The current situation was indeed not good, so he quickly asked: "What should we do now?"
"You ask me?" Linton asked, "Think about it for yourself first."
"Me? I can't believe it. My first reaction just now was to immediately prepare troops to destroy the troops that attacked us last night. I almost fell into the opponent's plan." Gaseon said, "Then if we can't go now
, could it be said that we are preparing troops here? But part of our luggage was burned, and the supplies were originally insufficient..."
"You really don't use your brain." Linton said, "Have you heard the motto of our Mellow family? Learn now and sell now. Do you understand?"
"Uh...what do you mean?" Garsain asked.
"Someone has already taught you to do this, and you still don't understand?" Linton said, "How did you fall into the trap? It wasn't just when you were rushing to your destination in a hurry. Then think about it now.
Is there a troop that is rushing towards its destination as eagerly as you?"
"Hmm..." Garsain thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed, "The enemy's reinforcements?"
"Look, you can still figure it out," Linton said. "The enemy knows that a force of 500 people cannot stop a force of 2,200 people, so they will definitely notify the reinforcements from Disorn City to come as soon as possible. The enemy
After the reinforcements received the battle report, they felt that you must have started to attack the gold mine in a hurry. After all, the baggage is gone, and they will definitely rush here at full speed. So is it time to learn now and sell now? Look at this
The general named Grint has even chosen the best ambush position for you. The position where he ambush you is definitely the best position, so you can just do it again there."
"I see...I understand." Garsain said immediately.
"As for the problem of baggage, isn't this solved? Our baggage was exploded, but isn't it because the enemy's reinforcements have sent us supplies again? If we solve them, we won't have everything." Linton said,
"As long as the enemy's reinforcements are defeated, the remaining 500 people will be the turtles in the urn."
Just as Linton said, the reinforcements sent by Disorn City are now rushing towards the gold mine at full speed. King Kovikla had actually received a letter from General Tira Grint a day ago.
In the letter, General Grint also raised the conjecture that Garsain's target this time might be the gold mine, and hoped that the main city would send troops to strengthen the defense of the gold mine. However, the problem was that although Grint's guess was accurate, he was not convinced.
King Kovikla. King Kovikla thinks that the enemy's target is Disorn City. If General Grint guesses wrong, something big will happen. After all, he is in the city and gives up the advantage of defending the city to send troops. Then
Not digging your own grave?
However, soon, a new battle report was sent to King Kovikla. General Grint fought a beautiful victory, killing about 700 enemy soldiers and burning a lot of baggage. More importantly, the opponent was identified
The direction of the attack was indeed heading towards the gold mine.
After knowing this, King Kovikla panicked again. Unexpectedly, the enemy was so cunning, and the target was really their gold mine. Nothing could happen to the main city, and nothing could happen to the gold mine. The gold mine was
Their lifeblood, the Kingdom of Kowikra does not have much income to begin with. About 30% of the annual income is provided by gold mines. If this disappears, the national finance will collapse.
What's more, the current situation makes it even more impossible to live without gold mines. Otherwise, what will happen to these refugees? There is already no food. If there is no more money, it will be over. Your throne will be in danger.
General Grint has informed King Kovikla of all the plans. Seeing the other party's arrangement, King Kovikla thinks it makes sense. If the plan succeeds, the enemy can be defeated in one battle. Of course, reinforcements must be sent.
Arriving before the gold mine was breached, the 500-man defense force could not defend it for long. It was just a mine, not a fortress. So King Covikla immediately ordered that General Materazzi immediately lead 2,000 reinforcements.
Set out at starry night and rush to the gold mine for support at full speed.
The order was issued very urgently, and General Materazzi here indeed followed the order. He led the troops to rush all the way to the location of the gold mine without rest for a day and a night.
On the other side, in the camp on the gold mine side, General Grint came back immediately to reinforce the fortifications. He knew that he had to face a tough battle, a high-intensity defensive battle, but as long as he held
, the main city will definitely send reinforcements to arrive in time, because he also knows that this gold mine cannot be lost, and the king will never give up the gold mine.
Although the defenses of the gold mine are very simple, they can still be sustained for a while. There will be no problem for at least two days, and reinforcements will definitely arrive in two days. However, what surprised Grint was that after waiting for a day, the reinforcements did not arrive.
Even though the enemy troops haven't arrived yet, it's really strange that no one came to attack them.
"Is it because the enemy hasn't sorted out the scattered troops yet?" said the adjutant next to him, "I heard that the newly appointed Duke was just a baron before. He doesn't have many private troops under his command. They are basically newly formed troops.
The army was formed soon."
"It won't be so slow..." Grint felt a little irritated for some reason.
Just as they were talking, a fire suddenly burst out in the distance. The adjutant next to him also noticed it and pointed there and said: "Isn't that the location where we ambush each other last night? Why is the fire on fire again?"
"Oops!" Trint suddenly became frightened and shouted.
