Chapter 537 [Ceyi is not in charge of the army]

"Huh!!"

The hammer hit the front and hit a prairie warrior in the face, smashing him directly from the horse. When he landed on the ground, his face was already ruined!

A warrior from Thunder Whip jumped over and slashed his neck with a knife!

The officer's knife of the Thunder Whip had not been retracted, and there was a whistling sound behind him, and an arrow was inserted into the position of his left shoulder blade. If it weren't for the tough leather armor, I would have pierced him.

Holding the pain, the officer cut off the arrow shaft with a backhand, shouting loudly: "Driving these grassland barbarians out!!"

This is a defense zone for Thunder Whip!

Clashing and crisscrossing, long and short trenches spread across the ground, and are arranged in an orderly manner between a hillside and a river channel.

The trench was not dug deep, but it was a lot of people. Even though there were some gaps in the middle, it was tied into a ball by the soldiers of Thunder Whip with the sharp tree sticks cut down, making it into a rough horse-rejected.

A soldier from an infantry battalion is responsible for guarding this line of defense.

In the past two days, the grassland people have attacked here four times.

The deep and shallow trenches, horse-resistance, and annoying terrain restricted the iron hoofs of the grassland people.

The soldiers of Thunder Whip hid behind the trenches and resisted horses, and used bows and arrows and a modified crossbow that could eject chain hammers, which caused a lot of trouble for the grassland people.

This is the third attack of the Grasslanders today. The defenders clearly felt that the Grasslanders increased the intensity of the attack. The narrow terrain limited the number of troops the Grasslanders invested at each time. This was beneficial to the Thunder God Whip. However, after two days of fighting, even the reserve team had already invested all, and the Thunder God Whip fell into a hard battle!

To the west, the attack of the grassland people became slower, and they had to jump off their war horses, carrying scimitars to try to break through the trench and resist horses on foot.

At this time, a row of archers behind the Thunder Whip began to shoot freely. The progress of the grassland people became increasingly difficult.

There were also grasslanders hiding behind the horse-resisting horses and fighting back with their hunting bows. The battle between the two sides was in anxiety...

...

This attack has been going on for five or six days.

About six days ago, the army of the grassland people arrived at the western border of the Nulin Province and officially started a cross-border attack!

Six places were attacked by the grassland people at the same time in the first line of defense arranged by Panin.

The grassland people had more troops and the cavalry had stronger mobility. They attacked six places in one day.

Thunder Whip is worthy of being the first-class elite of the Roland Empire, and it soon gave the Grassland people a headache!

In the following days, although the grassland people paid thousands of lives, they never made any progress!!

Thunder Whip has better soldiers' qualities, more sophisticated weapons and equipment, with crossbows, favorable terrain, trenches, fortifications, and waiting for labor.

Most importantly, Panin has given a death order!

He personally led a cavalry team, using the mobility of the cavalry to fight back and forth, running around the six attacked areas of the first line of defense, acting as firefighters everywhere.

With the addition of this coach, Thunder Whip's defense is solid!

Especially on the sixth day, Panin seized an opportunity and killed the golden wolf-headed general under the grassland king court who led the elite troops to invade at the defense line of a temporary fortress!!

This incident greatly encouraged the morale of the army! At the same time, the morale of the grassland people was relieved!

Next, the attack of the grassland people began to appear weak and powerless.

The six-day incident, common sense breakthroughs in different places were hit hard, and they were unable to go east... Such facts have caused the grassland people to start to shake their confidence from top to bottom!

These Roland people... are by no means weak as imagined!

...

In the evening, Panning, who hurriedly returned to the temporary command post behind the first line of defense, had no time to remove his blood-filled armor, and immediately ordered the convening of his generals to discuss the matter!

In the tent where the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, intermediate generals from the Third Division of Thunder Whip gathered together.

"Dude, our problem now is that we have insufficient troops! The first line of defense has withstood the test, but the soldiers are already very tired! We need to rotate!"

A general shouted: "Now the Fourth Division of the second line of defense can be replaced. In some areas, our soldiers suffered a lot of losses and needed to retreat to rest. The young man needed time to breathe."

“It’s not the time to breathe!”

Panin punched the case.

His eyes were full of ferocious murderous aura. He stared at the generals below and said in a deep voice: "The grassland people were just tentative attacks six days ago! Do you think this is the real test?"

"But... you killed the Golden Wolf Head. That's a big man under the Grassland King."

"That was just an unexpected surprise. I happened to meet him, that's all." Panin shook his head, and then he said seriously: "The Prairie people are just testing our defense line and trying to find our weaknesses. The result is that we did not let them succeed. We defended well, which made them pay a heavy price... But this does not turn the situation around! We must always be sober! In terms of strength, the Prairie people's troops are far better than us!"

The generals below stopped talking.

"According to my judgment, the first stage of the tentative attack has passed. The grassland people will change their strategies and will no longer do such temptations that have suffered heavy losses but no results. They will choose another way to break through our defense... This situation of blossoming everywhere and being blocked everywhere will not happen again." Panning frowned and said in a deep voice: "The grassland people will definitely find ways to play their advantages."

"Duke, what do you mean?"

"Military strength! Their advantage is military strength! There are cavalry!!" Panning sneered: "They will definitely find ways to bypass our defense line, and then... find a place with open terrain, and seek a large-scale battle with us with the large corps! Well, a decisive battle of the cavalry group! This is what the grassland people hope most!"

"They have no chance." A middle-aged general thought for a while and shook his head, "Our defense line is very complete and tight. They can't find the flat area you mentioned to break through. We have already set up fences in these terrains!"

Panin sneered: "Not bad! So... if we throw a bait at this time, they will definitely take the bait!"

The middle-aged general looked moved: "What do you mean?"

"map!!"

Panin waved his hand and immediately a guard soldier hung a military map in the middle of the tent.

"Tell me, in the past two days, where are the lowest attack intensity of the grassland people?" Panning looked at a deputy general beside him.

The deputy general thought about it, walked to the map, took a look, drew out his sword, and pointed two directions on the map: "The Rodon Valley Plain, and...Doroc Town. The defense lines of these two places, the intensity of the grassland attacks that we encountered recently seemed to be much lighter than the beginning of the three days."

"Hahahaha! That's right!" Panin's eyes showed a murderous edge: "These grassland people are playing with the track! Humph, they are trying to confuse us! They deliberately strengthened the intensity of the attack in other places, just to induce us to increase our troops in those places with great pressure and adjust our attention! I dare to conclude! The area they are aiming at next must be the Lodon Valley Plain and Doroc Town... No, it won't be two, but one of them!"

Panning quickly walked to the map and stared at the map above and looked at it.

"Duke, why do you dare to make such a conclusion?" the middle-aged general frowned.

"It's very simple! Dorok Town is a town with a complete city wall that can store up thousands of people and the terrain is not open enough... And the Lodon Valley Plain... We left a battalion of infantry here, but as long as we chiseled through the place, we will walk in and there will be a thirty-mile open plain area! This is exactly the open plain area that the grassland people most hope to find! The terrain that is most suitable for them to play their cavalry's advantage! So they will definitely choose to break through the Lodon Valley Plain! Then..."

Panning waved his arm suddenly: "... It's flat!!"

Everyone's bodies were shocked!

Panning seemed to struggle for a moment, but he quickly made a decision! There was no trace of entanglement in his eyes!

"Transfer our military order!" Panin shouted viciously to the adjutant beside him: "The defenders on the Rodon Valley Plain Defense Line will evacuate tomorrow morning!! Transfer a battalion of infantry from the Third Guard Brigade to change defense!"

"Sir!" The middle-aged general's face changed: "You are...? No!! The Third Guard Brigade was a mixed group of the original local garrison army and new recruits! Their combat power is not enough to defend this place!!"

"I just want them to be unable to defend!" Panning took a deep breath: "I just want the grassland people to break through here! Then... the decisive battle in the valley plain!!"

Buzz!!

There was an uproar in the big tent!

"The grassland people are seeking opportunities for a decisive battle! I am also seeking opportunities for a decisive battle! If we only have such passive defense and defense, although we have the advantage at this stage... but in the long run, the disadvantage of our insufficient troops will be exposed little by little! Gentlemen! I can tell you clearly that at least before the beginning of next spring, we will not get reinforcements from one soldiers and one soldiers from the empire! We can only rely on ourselves! If we defend this hard, the soldiers will be exhausted! We are losing blood little by little! And the grassland people have more troops, and they can take turns to attack and maintain the same offensive intensity... After a long time, we will definitely not be able to hold on! So... if we want this war to undergo a qualitative change, we also need a decisive battle opportunity!!"

After saying these words, Panin immediately continued: "Send the order! The First ** Cavalry Regiment, the Third Cavalry Regiment, gather immediately! I want to be here..."

He pointed to the river valley plain on the map and said viciously: "It's here! Fight a decisive battle with the grassland people head-on! Let the barbarians understand! Today's war is no longer just relying on their grassland horse hooves! What determines the outcome of the war is weapons, equipment...... steel!!"

After a silence, a general tentatively said: "But... can't we give up the defense line in the valley and let them in? If we send the garrison troops to change defense..."

"No! The grassland people are not fools! If we deliberately remove the defenders here, they will definitely have doubts! If we deliberately give up, these grassland wolves will doubt whether we have arranged any trajectory! Only those they fight themselves will advance without doubt! We cannot take risks, we need this decisive battle!"

"But, in this way, wouldn't the local garrison troops of this battalion be replaced..."

Panning's face darkened: "Ci is not in charge of the army!!"

Everyone understands that the local garrison troops in this battalion who changed their defenses...their fate is cannon fodder!
