There is no doubt that Grint's appearance ignited everyone's last glimmer of hope. The soldiers who were originally killed, who could not tell the difference between the east, west and north, moved closer to the high slope where Grint was. As for Grint, he did not directly
He led his troops into the battlefield below, but instead formed a formation on a high slope, feeling like he was trying to gather his troops.
"It's not good." Gaseon looked at the situation. The appearance of Grint's troops was very bad. If the opponent launched an attack at this time, they would attack his troops from behind. Of course, it would cause a lot of losses, so Gaseon
He quickly jumped on someone's horse next to him, then raised his hand and started to assemble the troops.
Naturally, there was no confusion among Gasein's troops. When they heard Gasein's voice, they also moved closer to Gasein. The sound of fighting on the battlefield was slightly quieter, and they also saw reinforcements appearing on the hillside. It seemed that
There was still a fierce battle, so they followed Garsain's order and started to form a formation.
"Everyone, follow me, break out!" At this time, General Grint suddenly shouted. Garsain, who was gathering the team over there, was stunned when he heard the other party's words. He thought that the other party was about to rush over, but it turned out that he was preparing to break out. If he breaks out now,
Is this a retreat? Grint is here just to save people?
"Pursue me!" Garsain waved his hand and pointed in the direction of Grint. The soldiers around him heard the order and rushed towards Grint. Grint also waved his hand, and his troops also stepped forward.
Soon they fought with Gasein's troops.
This was the first front battle tonight. The soldiers on both sides began to fight head-on, holding each other's fronts against each other. Just as the front lines were fighting, the troops on the two sides behind were gathering more and more. Naturally, they were coming from Gasein's side.
The assembled soldiers, and on Grint's side were the ambushed troops who had just escaped. At this time Grint looked at the situation, waved his hand and shouted: "Breakout to the west!"
After hearing the order, the enemy troops immediately began to shrink their formation and began to move closer to the west. Seeing this, Gasein became a little anxious: "Stick up and surround them!"
Gassein's troops wanted to encircle the enemy, but the other side did start to retreat. Some of the troops were pressing the formation at the rear, and the others were moving to the west. The encirclement on Gasein's side had not yet been formed, and the opponent had already retreated.
"Chase! Chase me!" Gasein shouted with a wave of his hand.
"Stop chasing." As soon as he finished shouting, a voice appeared next to him. Garsain turned his head and saw that Linton had appeared beside him at some point.
"Not chasing?" Garsain was stunned for a moment.
"We are all infantry. There is nothing to chase. The enemy has cover, so it is not a retreat. The pursuit will be difficult to be effective. Let them go." Linton said, "Let's just clean up the battlefield here.
"
"Let them go?" Garsain was stunned for a moment.
"The war is about strategic goals, not personal grudges. Although I know you want to kill the person who ambushed you, it is not wise to pursue you now." Linton said, "The general named Grint made a very accurate judgment.
, the current situation can still accurately judge the situation, and will not give you a chance, let them retreat, anyway, our strategic purpose has been achieved."
Garsain thought about it for a moment, but still listened to Linton's words. Some of the troops focused on the enemy in the west, while the other part of the troops quickly began to harvest the remaining enemies on the battlefield.
Soon, the sun slowly rose, and the battle was over. The battlefield was once again covered with corpses, but this time it was from the Kingdom of Kovikla.
At this time, Gasein's troops were cleaning the battlefield, counting the number of people, and sorting out the prisoners. Gasein had just finished listening to the report from his subordinates. In this battle, at least a thousand enemies were killed and more than 200 were captured. It can be said to be a great victory. Unfortunately, at the last moment, the enemy
Reinforcements arrived and rescued many people. Otherwise, the 2,000 troops and Gasain could have kept them all.
"Don't look so pityful. In a war, you can't just blindly seek total victory." Linton said next to him, "We defeated the enemy's support troops and also seized the opponent's supplies. Didn't we achieve our goal?
Yet?"
Gasein nodded, and indeed the baggage problem was solved. Although they also used fire this time, it was only used to seal the road. After all, they didn't have that much kerosene, so they grabbed a lot of baggage this time.
, the problem of their troops was solved in one fell swoop. Now Gasain's troops are well supplied and their morale is high. It can be said that they are in full condition. The strategic purpose mentioned by Linton has indeed been fully achieved.
"I understand, but they can't run away. Notify the entire army to prepare to assemble and march into the gold mine." Gassern said.
"Think about it again?" Linton couldn't help but said after hearing what Garsain said.
"Think about it again?" Garsain was stunned for a moment, "Then we camp where we are and rest for a day before attacking?"
Indeed, after a night of fighting, the soldiers were still very tired, so Gaseon felt that Linton was worried about this, so he let the troops rest before attacking.
"You TN are guessing riddles." Linton held up his forehead, "Can you try to figure out the thoughts of the enemy general during the war? Think carefully about what kind of person the general named Grint is."
"Hmm..." Garsain thought for a while, "You can still command calmly at that time. He is indeed a very powerful general."
"Listen up." Linton said, "That guy has a very clear grasp of the situation. Why did he show up last night? If he didn't show up, the enemy's 2,000 reinforcements might have been wiped out by us here, and then our troops
They will lead a great victory and surround the gold mine. Without reinforcements, they can only wait for death. Seeing this, Grint had no other choice after discovering the situation here, but to come to the rescue immediately. Since he can do this
Seeing the situation accurately means that he has made the best choice now."
"What does... mean?" Garsain asked, "What's the best option?"
"So do you still think the other side will retreat to defend the gold mine?" Linton asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Garsain was stunned, "Wait, you mean...Glint will give up the gold mine?"
"He knows that our goal is the gold mine, not them. At this time, retreating to defend the gold mine is not waiting to be surrounded by us. Do you think a general like Grint will seek death like this?" Linton said, "Give up the gold."
Mine, we will naturally go to the gold mine instead of chasing them, and they will have a chance to breathe, gather their troops, and ask for reinforcements. They will still have a chance to fight back. Grint is definitely not at the gold mine now."
"It actually happened..." Garsain couldn't believe it, but Linton's judgment was well-founded. He suddenly found that he had a lot to learn, and this leader had much more knowledge than he thought.
Yes, although Gasein has been on the battlefield, he was only an ordinary high-level soldier at that time. He only had to obey the orders of his superiors and it was all about whether to rush or retreat. After becoming a duke, although he also led troops, they were only for encirclement and suppression within the territory.
The rebels, those rebels were really just a mob, and they didn’t need any tactics or anything like that. They would just catch them and give them a beating. But this was his real debut, and he also encountered a troublesome opponent. Suddenly
It made him feel that there is a big difference between being a commander and a soldier.
But thinking of this, Garsain looked at Linton. This guy was younger than him and had never been on the battlefield. How could he be more skilled than him? "Have you ever led a soldier before?"
"No, I have watched The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Linton spread his hands and said.
"What is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Gasein looked confused.
"Just think of it as a book on the art of war," Linton said.
"Oh, the book on the art of war..." Garsain nodded, and it seemed that he was going to make up for it.
After resting for a while, Garsain gathered his troops and headed in the direction of the gold mine. Not long after, they arrived at the location of the gold mine. As expected, it was just as Linton said. They sent out a reconnaissance team to search around, but found nothing.
Any enemy troops, they really did not return to the gold mine, but gave up directly.
Garserne captured the gold mine without any bloodshed and encountered little resistance. There were still people in the gold mine, probably more than 200 hard workers. The miners in this world belong to the lowest profession, and no normal person would come.
Miners, most of these people are actually criminals who were exiled here to mine. The 500-man army under Grint previously was used to defend against foreign enemies and to guard these prisoners.
Of course, it is very simple to accept this group of people. They were all locked in the squad room and could not get out originally. They had no intention of resisting when they saw Gasan's troops. It was obvious that Gasan was not their own army. The gold mine should be
It was occupied by other forces, but what does this have to do with them? They are not mining for anyone anyway.
By the way, Gasain also threw in the more than 200 prisoners he had captured, so now they had more than 400 people working hard.
After searching everywhere, they found a lot of supplies here. It should be the food and grass materials hoarded by the garrison here. Now they all belong to them. Plus the ones they got before, they don't have to worry about food and grass supplies in a short time.
Problem. In addition to these, they also received a large warehouse of raw gold ore.
"Is this a gold mine?" Linton saw the raw ore of a gold mine for the first time. It was still a black stone, but there were indeed golden particles on it.
"I've really made a fortune now." Gasein said as he looked at the raw ore in the warehouse. This batch of ore must have been dug before and was intercepted by them before it could be shipped out.
"In short, as I said, our strategic purpose has been accomplished." Linton put down the ore and said, "There is no need to rush to chase the enemy. Let's stabilize this side first."
