Spy

After a few days of rest in Custer City, the entire Flame Legion, the Magicians' troops, and 20,000 soldiers led by Carcent took the journey back to the imperial capital.

Before leaving, I realized how rich the fat pig lord in Custer City was. He took charge of all the logistics supplies for this war, including food and supplies, and other expenses. Before leaving, he also gave the Fire Legion and the Magicians a hard work fee of 20,000 gold coins each. In addition, all the officers who returned alive at the first level and above each received 1,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to the salary of a division commander of more than a year.

And I gave these gold coins to my subordinates without hesitation, the middle and low-level officers and soldiers who performed outstandingly in previous battles. They are my future team. Even if they will still be on the verge of Sach in the future, it is definitely not a bad thing to gain more loyalty from my efforts.

With two boxes of various crystals, Yaruo and the six-colored elves, I followed Sac's main force on the way back to the imperial capital. For some reason, Sac broke up a light cavalry division and a archer division and placed it on both sides of the marching brigade, and sent a light cavalry to break the back. The central army was divided into two parts. In front were Carcent's 20,000 unequipped cavalry, behind were Sac's two heavy cavalry divisions and magicians, as well as my super-small divisions (4,000 people) sandwiched between the two heavy cavalry divisions.

For some reason, the entire army did not approach any city during the entire march. At most, the garrisons in nearby cities transported military rations or provided necessary supplies, and the rest of the time was spent in the wilderness. Do the army in this world also know not to disturb the people?

As I followed the army for a few days, I was so overwhelmed. I spent almost half of my time immediately every day, and when I rested at night, I was basically at night and had no chance to do anything. The only time I had free time, but I basically didn't say a word. At most, I asked and she answered, which made me so depressed.

Not long after noon that day, I guess it was only more than an hour after lunch? After a noisy ahead, the entire army began to slow down and gradually stopped moving forward.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Looking at the way ahead, I asked Matthew beside me.

"Sir, I guess I'm going to Crescent Lake ahead. The governor there is a member of the Finance Minister. There are rumors that the two elite divisions of the Military Minister mysteriously disappeared here during the change of defense. I guess Mr. Sac had any ideas, right?" Matthew answered quietly in my ear.

"I'll go and see. If there is an order in advance, I will execute it immediately. In addition, I will give me the highest level of vigilance. I don't want you to be as unlucky as those two divisions..." Since the marching, I have never seen Sak these days. I have been comforting the six-colored elf with the help of Yaruo and trying to adapt to each other as soon as possible. Or I have good luck. These days I have been able to let this weird little thing integrate into my body without knowing it, but I still feel very bad. I always feel like there is something in my body.

"Sir, are there any problems? I've camped so early today?" When I came to Sach, many people had gathered around Sach and Wink. There was no doubt that they were thinking about some difficult and complicated diseases.

"Hanlong, you are here just in time. I was about to send someone to call you! We were all thinking just now, what can we do to make a light cavalry division and a heavy cavalry division be the main one in this kind of plain and add a small number of short woods to annihilate the entire army? And the opponent's military strength is no more than one legion."

"Break an ambush!" After hearing Sak's words, I blurted out without turning my mind. I have seen heavy cavalry charges and light cavalry's tactics to support the two wings. Unless it is stronger than the siege of many large armies, it is impossible to wipe out them completely. Especially in such plain areas, those heavy cavalry cannot escape, and it is not easy for light cavalry to run away? If it is an ambush, especially if it is a trap for surrounding and adding anti-cavalry to escape, it is possible to kill all these two divisions.

"Ambushes? But how can you ambush in such a place? Although the grass here is long, it is impossible for cavalry to see it. Moreover, the woods here are not as big as ambushing so many troops that can destroy two elite cavalry. Do you think they all have invisible magic? It's funny, I think you have a brain problem!" As soon as I said, a voice that made me feel resentful came out, and it was Crad who was thrown in the forest by me. How could this guy be so lucky?

"I want to dig a hole to bury myself without magic, right? Or do you think so many dead people on the mainland are magicians?" I viciously compared that idiot to dead people, but this guy was not very stupid. After a moment of thinking, I felt my meaning, but before he came, someone answered first.

"Yes, yes! If you dig a pit on the necessary path of those two armies to hide the army underground, you can raid those two armies. If the distance is close enough, three elite infantry divisions can completely sweep the two cavalry divisions. However, do those two divisions not even escape depending on the situation? "Bavel also remembered the most important question after he woke up.

"Hahaha, or some people think that those two cavalrymen are idiots, who only know how to fight to the death but not retreat. I wonder what explanation is our nouveau riche division leader?" After hearing the suspicion raised by Bavel, Clad was so excited, but he didn't know that while he said I was an idiot and a nouveau riche, a cold light flashed in Sach's eyes... I am an idiot, a nouveau riche, so what is the person who likes idiot and nouveau riche...

"Three infantry divisions were ambushed in the necessary path, and then behind them, that is, the direction behind them, two cavalry divisions passed by their heads, making a U-shaped pocket, and the U-shaped edges of the pocket were equipped with a mixing masquerade. One layer was not enough for two layers, and two layers were not enough for three layers. According to my personality, I installed 10 layers to ensure that the horses could never pass.

Then put an infantry division at the bottom of the U-shaped position and a light cavalry division is placed in the distance. In this way, when two cavalry divisions pass over the heads of the three infantry divisions, the two cavalry divisions will be dead.

Three infantry divisions sealed the retreat path of the cavalry division, which was a U-shaped gap, and kept pressing from behind the cavalry division. The opponent's heavy cavalry division had no chance to turn around and charge. The only thing they could do was to rush forward, widen the distance from the infantry and find an opportunity to turn around and attack the infantry. But this was a faster way for them to die. The masso would turn them from cavalry to pure infantry, and then completely end up in front and back attacks. And a light cavalry division used to sweep the tail, I don't think they would leave a living mouth, right?"

After hearing what I said, everyone was silent. Almost all the officers here were commanders of the cavalry units. Although it was difficult to accept the analysis of this situation, they also knew that if such a situation happened, the cavalry would basically end like this, and total annihilation would be equivalent to their destiny.

"Hanlong is right. I think this is the case. Let's take a look at what if we encounter such a situation?" Sak looked happy, even more as if he was happier than he thought it out himself.

"My division is ready to be on guard at the back end. When there is a problem behind, the front army stops advancing, and the light cavalry that broke the rear passes through my division air strike. Then our army attacks with instant crossbows at close range, which is enough to completely collapse the pursuers behind. Then we can send archers and magicians to clear the marsole in front. Of course, this can be done slowly."

"What do you have any other opinions? If so, please raise it!" Seeing that I took on the most dangerous position myself, Zach had no objection. But from his previous situation of dealing with the problems, if I fail, at least I will buy time for his heavy cavalry troops in front. And next, it must be what he said when I occupied the south gate of Huangshi City, that the heavy cavalry would completely destroy us and the enemy...

"Sir, there are spies over there!" A group of people walked beside the repaired military camp, talking about possible situations while correcting and improving the marching plan. At this time, a Carcent guard suddenly shouted and tried to find horses to chase...

While the guard was calling, Wink's light spear also rushed towards the spy after the guard called out. In a few seconds, the light spear exploded more than ten meters behind the spy. Although it caused the spy to fight, it obviously did not cause much damage to him. Instead, the guy ran to a horse not far away faster. It seemed that chasing was impossible. It was as powerful as Sach, and it was impossible to catch up with a galloping horse under such a big gap, let alone other people.

"Damn it, if we can catch him, we will have much less trouble..."
