Gnar looked at the blood-stained but excited elf in front of him in surprise.
The elf carrying a half-human Moonblade on his back was none other than the captain of the Nightsaber Cavalry Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Korthrow. He knew that Gnar was Dane's adjutant. Although his military rank was one level lower than his, he still needed to maintain a certain amount of respect. So, he said patiently, "Hello, Major Gnar, I have good news and I want to report it to the lord."
"What news?" Gnar couldn't quite understand the excitement of the man in front of him. He had just received news that a troop of sword dancers had been violently attacked by the superior enemy. This confirmed that his previous thoughts were indeed correct. He also tried to report the news to Dane, but Dane scolded him again.
But he still dutifully said: "My lord and General Patience are resting inside. If it's not very important, it's better not to bother."
Corthello said: "Very important news! If the lord is resting, it doesn't matter, I can wait, but please let me know!"
"Good news?" Gnar was a little confused. In his mind, what followed was more or less bad news one after another.
"Yes, good news. We have successfully completed the mission objective, captured the enemy forces that were carrying out the raid, and completed the complete annihilation!"
Gnar was shocked!
…
After sending Kolthero away, Gnar's expression was no longer confused, and all that was left was admiration!
By this time, he had already understood exactly what the lord had planned earlier, and he was ashamed of the panic and despair he had just a few hours ago.
"As expected of the lord, I actually feel that what I thought of was unexpected, alas, really..." He didn't know what to say about himself.
Indeed, Dane had expected all of this, and the reason why he did not care about the loopholes that the enemy might expose after probing was precisely because he hoped to use this as a bait to attract the enemy to invest in the main force Troops, and then a clean sweep.
The commando team led by Anka typically fell into Dane's trap.
Of course, Dane didn't know which part of himself Dempsey would hit. But it doesn't matter, he can guess. He felt that the White Wolf Guards would definitely not be the target chosen by Dempsey for the troops he sent into the city. Otherwise, even if there were three times the number, he would never be able to defeat a heavy infantry regiment that was the most adept at fighting tough battles in a short period of time. . The pure swordsmen may be attacked, but this tough troop is also not an easy target to deal with.
After all the calculations, the sword dancer brigade and ranger brigade seemed the best to bully.
Dane of the Ranger Brigade was reluctant to let Dempsey beat him up. One is that it is not easy to train, and the other is that although the elf rangers have certain melee capabilities, they are better at bows and arrows. Can't compare to the real melee troops.
Therefore, Dane simply put the ranger troops and the heavy infantry regiment together. Thinking about it, even if Dempsey lost his mind, he would not attack them.
Then, in this way, the choices left to Dempsey are very limited. All he could do was the few remaining sword dancer brigades.
Dane is also willing to spend the money, so the few sword dancer brigades that were exposed to the outside world are all let you Dempsey to fight. Without such a bait, I am afraid that the veteran will not be fooled. At the same time, Dane's trump card, the night saber cavalry, was already secretly in place. Even, in order to prevent the cautious old fox in the city from noticing the abnormality, no one else knew about all the secret arrangements except him, Patience, and the Nightsaber cavalry who carried out the ambush mission.
In fact, the situation is still somewhat dangerous. Dempsey's sophistication was fully displayed in this raid. He picked his timing and targets fairly well and put together the right amount of power. If the Nightsaber Cavalry hadn't intervened, no matter how fast the other surrounding teams reacted, they probably wouldn't be able to provide support before the sword dancer brigade under attack was killed.
However, he was reluctant that the child would not be able to trap the wolf, and in order to eat the main force on the opposite side, Dane also worked hard.
The final result can be regarded as quite good. The sword dancer brigade suffered heavy losses. The casualties of more than a hundred people caused the brigade's combat effectiveness to drop drastically after being severely downsized. But it was worth paying such a price. The complete annihilation of the 600 Confused City infantry was definitely a traumatic blow to Dempsey.
Counting the cavalry team of more than 400 people who were "sent to death" outside the city before, the overall loss of the direct troops that Dempsey brought from the north has exceeded 1,000 people, which is almost three points of his elite troops. one.
Dempsey now only has a main force of more than 2,000 left, with almost the same number of local troops. However, although those local troops have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, they are not enough in terms of fighting will and combat ability. It is very likely that the overall strength is even worse than Dane's garrison army, which is not a concern at all.
In fact, Dane still felt a little pity. Dempsey calculated the troops and strength too accurately, so that he only sent a team of 600 people. A troop of this size can completely eat a large group of sword dancers without appearing too many.
But this is not a good thing for Dane. According to his original estimation, this ambush by the night saber cavalry should be able to achieve more than a thousand people.
If that's the case, the next battle will become much easier.
However, as far as it is concerned, it is almost the same time. The time to launch an all-out attack on Tiedinggang has arrived!
Using the night saber cavalry to ambush the enemy's raiding force and wipe out the enemy's vital force is certainly what Dane expected, but his tactical goal is more than that.
Dempsey sent 400 cavalry to test him earlier, that was indeed sending cavalry to die. His idea is very simple, just throw out 400 cavalry, maybe one of them will have a result, even if there is no result and all of them are dead... Anyway, throwing cavalry in the city to play street fighting is not very useful, and it is distressing to die. , but at least it doesn't hurt the bones.
But the 600 elite infantry led by Anka were different. The loss of these forces posed a huge challenge to Dempsey's control of the entire city. Come to think of it, the Tiedinggang defenders who received the news that the entire assault team in front had been wiped out must have been in a mess by now, right
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, hurry up and march in an all-round way, when will you wait? (To be continued.)
