On October 11th, the diplomatic ambassadors of Schindler, Florence, Pudry, Holy Victoria, and Holy Prometheus gathered in the Silver City to fight a war of words, which could really decide the entire situation. A war in the eastern and southern parts of the mainland—that is, a battle called the "Battle of the Bull" by later generations has slowly begun.
In the end, Earl Sade still had to accept the order from the City of Bauhinia, and chose to retreat from Bull City to defend against the army led by Elder who had already approached the City of Bauhinia.
Even so, when Sade had clearly sent out the news that he was on his way back, and replied to the city of Bauhinia, but the urging messages from the noble council and the Grand Duke of Florence were still one after another. Come.
Sade is very annoying, but there is no way, that is his monarch, he must read all the messages sent, and must personally reply. Otherwise, if this matter is stabbed to the top by people below or political enemies, even if the war is won, there will be no chance of promotion, title and status. I am afraid that he will die. , may not be guaranteed because of this matter.
Of course, Sade had expected it a long time ago. Patience used this move, which can be called a conspiracy, to put political pressure on him, forcing him to voluntarily withdraw from the heavily fortified Bull City, forcing him to continue to fight in the wilderness. During the retreat, if he fought the Schindlers, he must have prepared quite a lot of means to deal with him.
Therefore, knowing that this is a difficult and dangerous road for machines, he also made adequate preparations.
First, he sent an elite vanguard force south for a breakout attack.
This army is a powerful lineage team. Although the number is not large, only 2,000 people, this is the number that a standard team should have to break through and open the gap. Moreover, there are also a certain proportion of soldiers from the Duke's Guard, soldiers from the Queen's Guards, and some silver knights from the Pudley Kingdom.
Such an army, in terms of quality, can be called the pinnacle of what the entire coalition army can produce.
Sade's meaning has also been very obvious: since you are plotting to come together, then I will not play so many tricks with you. No matter how many traps and pits you have prepared for me, Patience, I will ride my horse over with a whip!
If you have the guts, you will kill me, including people and horses; otherwise, you will be crushed by me!
When Sade, his generals, officers, and elite soldiers all reported the same idea, this army, which had been somewhat low in morale before, suddenly became full of combat effectiveness again.
Patience must have been prepared to deal with the coalition raid. This preparation is not to lock the coalition forces in Bull City, it is not necessary, after all, her strategy is to release the enemy.
However, the tens of thousands of coalition forces came out of the city gate, but it was a very good opportunity.
A powerful fighter that can kill the enemy in large numbers.
Patience is a veteran in the battlefield. If she fails to seize such an opportunity, she will not be appointed by Dane as the number one general in her country, and even almost all the military power of the country will be placed in her hands. to direct.
However, the breakout troops sent by Sade were indeed a little fierce.
An army that Patience had previously deployed around the city to launch a surprise attack and cause chaos when the enemy left the city was directly captured by the elite coalition forces and defeated.
Fortunately, although they were defeated, the number of people lost was not too much. Although this army from the King's Guards had to withdraw from the original line of defense under the enemy's assault and pursuit, and retreated more than ten kilometers away, it was not fought into an annihilation battle, but was repelled , is already a very good result.
In fact, the main reason why it was not turned into an annihilation battle was that the coalition forces did not have so much time to spend. The most important task of the advance team of the coalition forces sent out is to create favorable opportunities and environments for the next large coalition troops to leave the city, and strive to prevent the large troops from being subjected to too much pressure during the process of leaving Bull City. uproar.
Obviously, their task was not bad at the beginning. But they don't have much time to continue to waste. Patience's army ambushing around the city is not the only one!
The elite scouts sent out by the coalition forces brought a lot of valuable news to the coalition headquarters with a large number of losses, even regardless of the number of losses, at the cost of their lives. And it was relying on these precious information that the vanguard, who had only rushed out of the city first, was able to accurately grasp the location of the ambush troops arranged by Patience.
After repelling the first army, within three hours, the vanguard repelled three more ambush troops arranged by Patience. During this time, the gates of Bull City were wide open, and an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people left the city at the fastest speed, almost running.
During this process, Earl Sade's army was still attacked to a certain extent. However, this is seriously inconsistent with the scene of wolves biting sheep in Patience's original plan. In the early days, when she expected that the main force of the coalition forces would inevitably withdraw from Bull City, she deployed seven or eight ambush troops. Some are preparing to carry out surprise killings... All in all, it is necessary to use various methods to allow the coalition forces to suffer the greatest casualties and chaos when they leave the city.
But in the end, it was all messed up by a vanguard army.
In the end, the delicious meal that Patience arranged for Lord Sade turned into a pre-dinner dessert.
But it doesn't matter, the pre-dinner dessert is the pre-dinner dessert, Patience is a 'good cook', and the delicious food she prepares for the guests is more than that.
However, before that, before giving the coalition army a real feast, she had to find a way to get rid of the annoying vanguard of the coalition army.
Those 2,000 people really fought fiercely. Even Patience had to admit that this was an amazing enough elite force—even compared to the elite of the White Wolf Castle and the Cormyr Army.
Of course, Patience had ways of dealing with them.
