Heart of Empire

Chapter 266: Very risky plan

Views:

Gusha felt that Dane's army on the opposite side was not rushing too hard.

When he sent the main force of the confused city infantry on the battlefield, the White Wolf Guard was quickly restrained. At the same time, the other infantry who came to support them were not as scary as the White Wolf Guards, so the formation of the Iron Nail Hill Army was stabilized.

Not only has it stabilized, but there are even signs of back pressure.

He did not allow this situation to develop. Even though the two White Wolf Guard brigades were shrinking, and the supporting infantry around them seemed pretty good and vulnerable, he didn't believe that things would be so simple.

Gusha didn't forget that there were still some aces in Dane's army that he hadn't seen yet. Not to mention the ranger troops who were worried before, the more than 300 white wolf cavalry who are still roaming around the battlefield and have not yet engaged in the battle are also objects that must be vigilant.

Although the wolf cavalry is also included in the ranks of the light cavalry, they are so special among the light cavalry. If they had no impact on the frontal battlefield like Ma Long's Red Scarf Bandit Cavalry, then they would definitely surprise those who thought so.

Gusha is an experienced battlefield veteran, and it's not like he hasn't dealt with orc wolf cavalry before. He will not underestimate the cavalry of White Wolf Castle. It is rumored that they are stronger than orc wolf cavalry.

After gaining a certain advantage, the Tiedinggang Legion did not take advantage of this opportunity to make a big push. However, the White Wolf Fort's troops also shrank their defenses when they realized that their opponents were difficult to deal with.

The two sides fell into a stalemate.

What Gusha didn't know was that Chapple, who was commanding the army to fight opposite him, was also in a cold sweat.

Beside Chapple, Quincy, the captain of the First Wing, said: "The strength of the garrison is too weak."

His expression was somewhat helpless, and Chapple could quite understand his thoughts.

Now, although the White Wolf Guards who rushed to the front as the mainstay were still able to hold their ground, the ones supporting them were the soldiers of the 1,000 Garrison Legion stationed in Rotten Wolf Town before. These newly recruited troops are very different from the white wolf guards around them, no matter in terms of equipment or quality of soldiers. In the process of confronting the infantry of the confused city on the opposite side, the soldiers of these garrison regiments were obviously the ones holding back.

But there is no way.

If there are other useful teams, Chapple doesn't want to throw the garbage of these garrison corps on it. But who told him that these soldiers are the only ones he can use

The wolf cavalry cruising next to them must not be directly thrown into the battlefield, and although there are about 600 troops around them, these are light infantry who play as archers. It is much stronger than those spicy chickens of the garrison army, but it is by no means a force that can reverse the outcome.

It would be about the same if it was the heavy infantry of the 600 White Wolf Guards.

"It depends on when Dane can come back." Chapple said.

"I hope we can hurry up..." Quincy also smiled wryly, "We don't know how long we can hold on like this. In case, if Gusha on the opposite side sees through and desperately presses down on the army, we're afraid It's unbearable."

"En." Chapple nodded, of course he understands this truth. But then he shrugged his shoulders again and said, "It doesn't depend on Dane, it mainly depends on whether and when Malone's men will come."

Quincy gave a 'tsk', with a hesitant expression on his face.

"What do you want to say?" Chapple asked, but in fact he was very clear about the doubts in Quincy's heart.

Sure enough, I only heard Quincy say: "The choice Lord Dane made... With all due respect, would it be too risky? Divide the troops into two places, and keep the first regiment with a group of soldiers from the garrison here to hold on. I took the second unit to attack Ma Long's army. These are all based on guesswork, what if Gusha sees through the truth in advance? What if Ma Long really doesn't come?"

Chapple has no way to answer these two questions. He also didn't understand why Dane chose such a risky style of play.

Whichever of Quincy's two hypotheses happened, the outcome would be catastrophic.

It’s okay to say the former, anyway, Chapple still has 2,500 people in his hands, and the overall battle is also more cautious, and the whole army will be suppressed without a brain, but if the battle is unfavorable, he still has a chance Able to retreat with troops. Worst of all, it's not impossible to fight for life and death, relying on the two brigades of white wolf guards in front of you. Even if his own army is wiped out, Chapple can guarantee that he can tear a piece of flesh off his opponent.

But if the latter situation happened, and Malone didn't come at all, or came very late, then Dane's tactical choice was tantamount to shooting himself in the foot—the enemy didn't stop him, but let his own Man is in a great predicament.

At that time, once the battlefield on Chapple's side fails, and Malone's army is not encountered there, the whole situation will be greatly reversed.

At that time, let alone rescue some Shahai Bay Port, I don't know if it will be possible to completely retreat to White Wolf Fort, but Rotten Wolf Town will definitely have to be lost. If the enemy besieged White Wolf Castle again, a purely military castle that lacked supply channels from the outside world would be a dead end.

"Dane will naturally think about these things by himself." Chapple couldn't figure this out, and he didn't intend to think about it.

He continued: "Now, we just need to do our own thing well and do our best to stay here for a longer time!"

As Chapple said, Dane and Patience are now on the way to support this battlefield from Shawan Harbor with 1,500 soldiers from the Second Regiment.

He wasn't crazy enough to be irrational, and he certainly couldn't ignore the issues Chapple and Quincy were thinking about.

But he is 100% confident that Ma Long's army will come to support him.

This is not because he arrogantly thinks how accurate his prediction is, nor is he handing over his fate to pure illusory luck, but because of another big killer in his hands—the map module.

In the display of the map module, the enemy army under the harbor city of Shawan Bay has already begun to move towards the battlefield here early this morning!

In this way, Dane can measure the opponent's marching speed according to the time, and the situation can be grasped almost exactly. (To be continued.)
