293rd year of the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire (215th year of the Imperial Calendar of the Holy Hillan Empire)
June 3.
16:26 pm.
After Deng Jiaer's troops retreated, Nikita was thinking about what to do next.
After many considerations, Nikita decided to continue to stick to it and wait for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
Deng Jiaer's troops retreated voluntarily. This is certainly a good thing, but the current situation of the war is still not optimistic.
The Britannian Army, especially the troops commanded by Su Cheng himself, have not suffered any major damage until now.
In other words, the Eastern Route Army of Britannia is still intact.
The current troops he has only 50,000.
No matter how much this amount of troops is calculated, it is still too small.
Only with his command of the army's combat power must be at least 70,000 people, Nikita is sure to successfully block Su Cheng's pace of advancing.
That's why Nikita decided to continue building a camp and hold on, waiting for subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
If you decide what you want to take next, then the next thing you should do is to choose a suitable place to build a position, and then slowly wait for the subsequent army to arrive.
Nikita spent most of the two days watching the map, looking for suitable camping sites.
At this time, Nikita was just like the actions of the past two days, staying in his big tent, silently studying the surrounding terrain and terrain.
At this moment, the guard's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the tent:
"Chief Coach! Some scouts are urgently requesting to see you!"
——Scout?!
After hearing the word "scout", Nikita felt a little nervous. While putting away the map on the table, he said loudly outside the tent:
"Let him in!"
"yes!"
After the guards guarding the tent opened the curtain of the tent, a scout who was covered in dust and sweat staggered into Nikita's tent.
"Master...master...huh...huh...ha..."
The scout was very tired, unable to breathe, and could not even explain the complete words.
Nikita hurriedly poured a glass of water for the scout.
"Come on, drink."
As soon as the water cup was handed to the scout, the scout seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw, snatched the glass of water at a rapid speed, and then poured it into his mouth.
After drinking the water in the water cup in one breath and moistening the throat that was about to smoke, the scout felt instantly alive.
"Coach, thank you."
After drinking this glass of water, the scouts spoke much smoother.
Seeing that the scout could finally speak normally, Nikita asked him seriously:
"Is there something wrong?"
"Yes." The scout nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "Chief Coach, something big has happened. Deng Jiaer's troops have new trends!"
"A cavalry team left the camp and attacked us!"
"Caval team?!" Nikita exclaimed.
But Nikita quickly returned to calm.
"Tell me all the information you know."
Nikita said in a deep voice.
"The total strength of the cavalry team, the horses carried by each cavalry, and when will they be dispatched... all of these information be told one by one! No information can be missed!"
"yes!"
The scout swallowed and sorted out his thoughts, and informed Nikita one by one of all the information he had discovered, regardless of the size.
"At 13:20 pm this afternoon, a cavalry team left the camp. Judging from the direction they were moving forward, it was very likely that their goal was to be here."
"The total force is about 2,000, all of them are cavalry, one man and three horses."
"Everyone has weapons such as spears, swords, bows and crossbows, shields and more."
...
After Deng Jiaer's troops retreated, Nikita sent a large number of scouts to monitor Deng Jiaer's troops' movements.
After seeing a cavalry team of 2,000 people leaving the camp, the scouts hurriedly sent one person - the scout who was reporting information to Nikita, ran back with three fast horses.
The horses used by the scouts are all good horses that combine speed and endurance.
However, even such an excellent good horse, the scout was running down the road without any effort, and the three good horses were still killed by him.
After the scout returned to their Xilan army camp, his last horse was squeezed to the extreme due to his physical strength. After returning to the camp, he foamed at the mouth, twitched his limbs and fell to the ground.
Even ordinary people who do not understand the art of medical horses can see that the horse is no longer helpful.
After reporting all the known information to Nikita, the scout suddenly paused and showed hesitation.
After hesitating for a while, the scout decided to report the seemingly insignificant information to Nikita.
"The head coach, this cavalry team that is attacking us, they are dressed in a strange way."
"Strange?" Nikita asked in confusion, "What a strange method?"
"Although they were wearing black armor like ordinary Britannians, their armor style was slightly different from that of ordinary soldiers."
"And - they each wore a dark purple cape."
"And judging from the material, the dark purple cloaks they wore seemed to be expensive."
"Everyone is wearing a dark purple cloak..." Nikita frowned while murmuring.
Nikita's brain was thinking quickly.
I recalled which special unit of the Britannian Empire had a special equipment with a dark purple cloak.
Special troops generally have exclusive equipment that ordinary soldiers do not have.
For example, the exclusive equipment of the most famous unit of the Frank Empire, the Iron Armored Paladin, is their iconic thick armor and vests.
For example, the exclusive equipment of the heavy armored troops newly built by the Britannian Empire in recent years - the Iron Armored Reiss, is thick full-body armor and axe gun.
Nikita recalled for a long time, but did not recall which unit of the Britannian Empire was equipped with a dark purple cloak.
——Does it mean...
——Is this a newly built special force of the Britannian Empire?
——Forget it, whether this cavalry team that was attacking here was a newly built special force of the Britannian Empire, this kind of thing is simply irrelevant at all.
——The most urgent task now is to prepare for the enemy as soon as possible.
At this moment, Nikita suddenly recalled the advice El who suddenly came to his tent yesterday.
Nikita now felt her hair standing upside down.
Because he found that the situation he was facing now was exactly the same as the guess El made to him yesterday.
As El said, Deng Jiaer was not really retreating at all. Deng Jiaer's real purpose was to send cavalry to conduct a long-distance raid when they were careless and relaxed.
——How could it be... it was really exactly the same as what El said...
——I thought El was too young yesterday, and the guesses and suggestions were completely unreasonable...
When Nikita thought of her despising El yesterday, she felt very uncomfortable...
