Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 779 Destruction (3)
But even now that the Frostwolf Clan has joined, Zan'ec is still not optimistic about the current war situation. After managing to integrate all the remaining defeated soldiers, it only has 9,000 people under its command, and the wolf cavalry of the Frostwolf Clan is only 10,000.
Get ahead.
With an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, low morale and strong pressure, Death God Chosen Champion knew that it must have a bold plan, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the attack of the grassland army.
Now, on the north bank of the Upper Ergun River, in the middle of the woodland on the right side of the Shadow Forest, Ike, the champion chosen by the God of Death, and Subotai, the chief of the Frostwolf clan, are discussing how to conduct this war.
They must fight an extremely beautiful retreat, and quickly defeat the steppe army and then retreat before the Shire army to the west reacts to encircle and suppress them.
"The enemy may break through the defense line, and the cowardly human bastards will suppress us through numbers."
An orc warlock stood in front of the map, explaining the situation to Zan'ike and Subotai:
"Sigvald's sword master army was defeated by the knights of the charr west of the forest. It and its army have fled to the north, together with Stika, another death champion."
"What?" Zang Aike roared angrily: "It actually ignored our agreement! I asked it to stop. This is an order! This is an order!"
"There is not much use in talking about these things now." Subotai, the chief of the Frostwolf clan, always remained calm and continued to observe the map. After thinking for a while, Subotai said seriously:
"Then, if we want to win, we have to take a little risk."
"You mean?" Zan Aike also looked at the map: "Strikes halfway through?"
"It's not enough to attack halfway across the river." Subotai pointed his finger at the stronghold on the north bank. We must experience a defeat here and win in defeat.
"Seek victory in defeat? You mean, attract the main force of the prairie people?"
"Honorable champion chosen by the God of Death, have you ever heard of a famous tactic of luring the enemy in the Far East? We must lose first. Only if we lose will these cowardly prairie brats be lured over."
"Wait...you mean?"
"Diaoyefu!"

Northeast side of Ergun River, ferry,
Fifty thousand grassland troops gathered here.
The Supreme Headquarters of the Prairie Army chose the ferry here because it wanted to be able to rely on the coalition forces.
Now, the army is camped on a river bank in the upper reaches of the northeastern part of the Ergun River, and has established two logistics bases.
That night, under the orders of Katalin Khan, the grassland army began to cut down the nearby black forest, build pontoons and make rafts in preparation for crossing the Ergun River.
On the other side of the river is the former steppe city of Lachhof, which was occupied by the orc army and is facing the steppe army across the river.
The camp was chaotic and disorderly, and neither Katalin Khan nor the newly promoted officers of the Prairie Army were skilled enough in commanding such matters.
Katalin Khan roughly divided the entire steppe army into ten parts. Except for the Guards he led personally, all the remaining steppe army participated in cutting down trees, transporting wood and building and making pontoon bridges.
middle.
Because they were not subordinate to each other and did not cooperate in doing things, the speed of building pontoons and making rafts was very slow, and they often quarreled because of repeated work.
This is actually a very low-level mistake. If it were replaced by a commander from another country, the soldiers would be asked to work on the assembly line. Who is responsible for felling, who is responsible for transportation, who is responsible for construction, and who is responsible for the specific contract areas.
Clearly distinguished.

Moreover, it is often stipulated that those who do it faster will receive rewards and food rewards, so the armies of other empires are faster in military operations.
But Qatalin Khan obviously did not have the talent in this area, so he could only send the supervisor army to urge it, while waiting impatiently in the big tent for the pontoon bridge to be built.
The camp was in chaos, and Katalin Khan's heart was also in chaos.
According to the report from the scouts, just across the river, Zan'eike's army is gathering. The army chosen by the God of Death is indeed not very large, at most 10,000 or 20,000 people.
However, Katalin Khan learned some lessons after going through a series of wars. He knew that an army like the Steppe Army lacked training, nutrition, and military discipline, and basically could only fight with the wind.
Therefore, he still hoped in his heart that the sooner the better, it would be best to build a pontoon bridge and cross the river immediately, catching the gathering orc army by surprise and relying on their numerical advantage to win quickly.
This is the campaign plan of the Supreme Headquarters of the Prairie Army.
A few minutes later, Generalissimo Denikin walked in: "Dear Khan, would you like to rest for a while? We are responsible for the outside affairs."
"How is the progress?" Katalin Khan's mind was not on sleeping at all. He urged: "We must hurry up, we cannot let the orc bastards quickly assemble the army."
"It is estimated that three pontoon bridges should be repaired tomorrow morning." Denikin said to Katalin Khan: "It was originally expected to be five bridges, but judging from the current progress, it will be difficult to complete."

"Tomorrow morning?" Katalin Khan thought for a moment and said immediately: "Then tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the Guards to cross the river first and launch a surprise attack on Zan Ek and his army!"
"this..."
Generalissimo Denikin first wanted to dissuade him, but he soon understood the reason why Katalin Khan did this. After thinking about it, he gave up and continued to persuade him.
"I heard from Cheka and others that the knights of the Shire look down upon the whole world. When the two lion battle flags appear on the battlefield, both the orcs and the servants of the evil god will subconsciously waver and retreat in fear."
Katalin Khan saw Denikin's hesitation, and he said reluctantly:
"But even the Knights of the Silver Hand, aren't they fought one battle at a time? I also have a Guard, and my Guard will be under my personal leadership to make the old world famous!"
"Yes! I, Denikin, will also cross the river with the Khan tomorrow to witness the first victory of His Majesty's Guards!"
"Very good! As soon as the sun starts to rise tomorrow morning, the whole army will start crossing the river immediately!"
