Blood Dragon

Section 290 Eighth Arrangement

"This will mess up my original plan." Sagas finally said after a long time. "They may find out, and even the little guy may find out that something is wrong with him."

"Don't worry, you got a way to leave anyway, didn't you?" Marvin replied. "Besides, the possibility of revealing the secret is not great after all. I have confidence in you, Sagas."

Sagas suddenly wanted to know if Marvin had said such things before tricking Luo Jin to die.

A few minutes later, Marvin dispelled the magic again.After all, this magic is still exhausting.

Attack?That is inevitable.Southerners are cautious (or cowardly), but that doesn't mean they're stupid.Such an opportunity is rare-a bold, fat meat that no one will refuse.

Marvin knew the psychological activities of those southerners very well, and he knew what kind of actions a southerner would take in this situation.When they know an enemy contingent of about 3000 men, they will send an army of 5000 or tens of thousands of men to try to destroy the enemy.This is their classic idea - to send 6000 to [-] people when they are more sure, and to send [-] to [-] when they are not sure.Two or three times the strength advantage - this is often said in the southerners' military books.

Ashurfat is the main general, and he will not personally command a battle of this scale.He would send a lieutenant: one of his three lieutenants.But Parry is now in charge of the defense of Newstria City, and Belle is in charge of scouting and intelligence collection-these two are relatively important tasks, so they will not be dispatched.On the contrary, Barranca was just the right one.

Marvin has a high degree of confidence that Ashuruffat will send Baranka to lead the army to attack Lord Bloodfang.And there is no doubt that Barranca himself is happy to take charge of this task.How could he not be happy?He could lead three times the enemy's force, and it was a battle with good odds, a great opportunity for merit and honor.

Then Lord Bloodfang will teach Baranka a good lesson.After that, he probably didn't have so much confidence to reject Marvin's proposal—of course, the premise was that he survived.

……

Ashuruffat received the news the next day.

Just like yesterday, the three lieutenants gathered in his room again.And this time, even the time was surprisingly similar, the three of them almost entered the door one after the other.

Baylor looked the same as yesterday, and Parry's proud and confident look was very eye-catching-this shows that he must have received some good news. As for Barranca, he seemed a little absent-minded, obviously having something on his mind.

"A chaotic army of thousands of people is approaching the city of Nustria alone? Is the target the small city?"

"Yes, sir!" Parry said proudly. "One of my subordinates got this news from an adventurer by chance..." While speaking, he suddenly twitched.He wanted to tell Ashurfat the name of that loyal and capable old subordinate, but suddenly found that he couldn't remember who it was.what happened?Is it because I was too excited to get this information, and even my memory went wrong for a while?

When he was still in a state of doubt, Ashuruffat interrupted his train of thought.

"Could this be a trap?" Ashuruffat frowned.Although he knew that Chaos would often play cards not according to the rules, but this time it was too... arrogant. "Can you guarantee that your message is correct?"

"Of course I..." Parry wanted to speak, but was interrupted.

"I also got this information." Belleel interjected.He stretched out three fingers, "Three days' journey, three or four thousand troops! For this, I lost four teams of capable scouts."

There were no doubts, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the map spread out on the table.The information they need is described in detail on it.

"Plains, open terrain, suitable for the deployment of superior forces." Barranca was the first to say.

"The front is Faqie City. If it is really a trap, the enemy has ambushed an overwhelming army here... Our army should be able to withdraw into the city in time and hold on. It shouldn't be a problem to persist for a few days."

"There is a hilly area with complex terrain in the rear," Beller said. "There is only one valley to pass through. Even if the battle is unfavorable, you can still rely on this place to stop the enemy."

Several people exchanged glances with each other, which was almost perfect conditions.Even a prudent person like Baylor thinks it would be a pity to let go of this opportunity.This should be an act of arrogant demonstration by the Chaos Legion—perhaps the coalition forces' long stay in Nustria City without moving made them have some illusions.

Then there is only one question, who should lead?

Just like Marvin's analysis above, logically speaking, Ashuruffat is not suitable to personally lead an army to command a battle of this scale. Among the four, the most suitable person is Balanka.But this time, someone stepped forward.

"Let me teach these daring Chaos believers a lesson." Parry said confidently.

……

Belair stopped his steed.

His small team had already left the hilly area, and there was an open plain ahead.As far as the field of vision is concerned, the grass is lush, and the sky is like a huge cover, covering the wilderness ahead.

It can be seen from the map that the terrain ahead is the same—or at least similar.This is a large plain. If it weren't for the constant invasion of Chaos, it would have become a very prosperous place: farmland, crops everywhere... Forests and grasslands are just dotted in it.Can 10 people be accommodated here?Or more?

Belair pulled his thoughts back from imagination to reality.This is the perfect battlefield - when you have the upper hand.You can fully deploy your troops and attack the enemy from all directions, but you will not be blocked by those damn terrain.Everybody loves the plains when you have twice and triple the enemy's strength.

And, even if you lose the battle - you'll have plenty of room to escape.As long as you're not so bad luck and the enemy is not chasing your ass, you still have a good chance of getting away.

But for some unknown reason, a trace of haze drifted over Belle's forehead.

"Everyone rest." Belleur ordered, "Robin, over there..." His finger pointed to a small hill in front of him. "Set up some fortifications."

"My lord, we should move forward..." Robin looked at the people behind him.Baylor carried very few troops this time, only more than 300 people.It has been more than three days since Parry set off, but he did not send a magic communication to the rear, which in itself aroused the vigilance of Aishuruffat.

In fact, as anyone could see, Baylor's squad hadn't come as reinforcements.Beler actually just intends to do a reconnaissance himself - this level of strength can save him from having to worry about the enemy's elusive reconnaissance troops.

To be honest, Robin also thought it should be fine.He knew that his general was always cautious, but this time he was indeed too cautious.The troops led by General Parry have two or three times more troops than the enemy, and they are still on a battlefield suitable for deploying superior forces. There is a city in front that can shelter the army, and there is good terrain in the rear to block the enemy's pursuit...

"This is an order." Belleer replied.

This sentence blocked all Robin's excuses, so he could only follow through.He began to direct people to set up fortifications.Luckily this troop carried a lot of tools - a shovel was one of them.Thus, at noon, Robin had set up the fortifications at the place designated by Belle, and arranged a camp not far behind.This was because he could see that his lord general was probably unwilling to move forward.

After everything was done, Robbie returned to where Belleel had stopped.During this time, Belleur has been standing there looking into the distance, obviously thinking hard about something.

"Master General..."

Belle made a silent gesture.After a while, his frown was finally stretched a little.

"I'm afraid the situation will be bad." Baylor said proactively.

"Why? General, you said before that this time General Parry has all the advantages..."

"Having an edge and knowing how to take advantage of it are two different things," Baylor replied. "See what's under our feet?"

"here?"

"This is the main road, the rear is a hilly area that is easy to defend, and there is only one road to pass through, and the front is a flat plain with no danger to defend." Baylor said. "If you want to take advantage of this kind of terrain, you must arrange an outpost here...garrison two or three hundred soldiers, and place a simple camp and fortifications. Only in this way can you say that you have gained an advantage. But Parry didn't do that Do."

"If he loses in the battle, retreat back..."

"Even if the superior terrain is conducive to defense and blocking, the newly defeated army cannot stop the powerful enemy who takes advantage of the situation and kills simply by relying on the terrain field." Baylor said. "Parry was so confident that he probably didn't think of the possibility of his own failure."

"Will he fail?"

"It's hard to say." Baylor replied. "The Chaos Legion is so bold to send a lone army near our army. It is understandable if it is a mistake, but if it is not a mistake..."

"Did they arrange an ambush?"

"If an ambush is arranged, Parry will definitely retreat immediately. Withdraw or retreat into the city. But if it is not an ambush, it probably means that this Chaos Legion is the elite of the elite. In this case, although there are two or three Doubling the strength of the army, it may not necessarily win." He looked into the distance and said in a meaningful tone. "If Parry is defeated, it means...the defeated soldiers are about to retreat back to this area. Look!"

Robin looked in the direction Baylor pointed, and saw something moving in the far field.
