Chapter 588 Jedi Counterattack(1/2)
The latest three days are the latest, which is the expected latest time. What if it doesn’t take three days?
The investigation information reported by the scouts on the front line, most of the imperial advance troops that rushed to the Thorne Lake defense line were composed of cavalry, and the speed of the march could be imagined. If not, how could the other party come from behind? There was even a risk of surpassing it? Once the other party rushed to capture the unpreventable Thorne Lake defense line in front of Xia Lan and the others, the result would be self-evident.
Now there is only one problem facing Xia Lan and the others, how to solve the dispersed morale of the military!
“I have an offer.”
When everyone was indecisive, Xia Lan, as the coach, attracted the attention of everyone present as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Due to the morale of the army, none of us were sure to enter the Thorne Lake defense line in front of the emperor. Since that's the case..." Xia Lan glanced around and said with a loud voice: "Then we might as well bury this army halfway!"
As soon as he said that, all the officers were in an uproar.
"Your Highness! With our current military strength alone, are you really sure to defeat that imperial advance army?" a middle-level officer stood up and said worriedly.
"Yes, Your Highness! The army is now in a low morale and there are great hidden dangers in combat. I am worried that there may be adverse factors that will be afraid before the battle!" Another officer stood up and said.
"Your Highness! Please be cautious!"
Sure enough, the opposition occupied the mainstream, which Xia Lan had long expected about.
But he must fight this battle! He must defeat his opponent with a great victory!
If he wants to permanently solve the problem of morale in the military, if he wants the army to see hope for the future, and if he wants to completely get rid of the haze brought by the empire's capture of Virgins, then he will inevitably need victory after victory to inspire people's confidence!
Now that the opportunity has come, he has no reason to let it go!
As for the consequences of his defeat, he never considered it. Instead of surviving, he might as well try his best!
"Everyone! Since the beginning of the holy war, although I have experienced many battles, I have never lost all my defeats. The battlefield is ruthless and the sword is eyeless. I am the only one who stands at the peak of the winner. I am now called the "Silver and White Sword". Now I swear by this name that in the future, the glory of victory will eventually continue!"
Xia Lan stood up slowly, and her calm voice showed irresistible domineering aura!
Everyone was stunned, and turned to stand upright, clenched fists pounded on their chests, saluting respectfully at the legendary coach who had been invincible in front of them.
"Abide by your will!"
Perhaps at this moment, a voice echoed in their hearts, and the familiar coach was back.
"Everyone! Get ready for war!"
...
...
As Xia Lan's declaration spread, everyone knew that war was inevitable. The officers and soldiers began to prepare for their military training. Military staff formulated combat plans based on the intelligence sent back by the scouts on the front line. The busy and tense rhythm swept away the previous lifelessness. Whether it was blind pursuit or uneasy, this battle determined their future destiny.
If you want to annihilate an elite cavalry unit, Xia Lan, a miscellaneous army, will definitely not be able to defeat your opponent in field battles. On the contrary, if you are accidentally annihilated, you may be yourself. Only by setting up a dozen ambushes can you achieve your strategic goal!
Although his military strength is inferior to that of the other party, Xia Lan's side has the initiative on the battlefield and the advantage of familiarity.
In half a day, Xia Lan and his military staff made a rough combat plan!
In short, lure the enemy into deep and encircle and annihilate it.
When the Heather Empire advances to the defense line of Lake Thorne, they must pass through Danlin Valley. The entrance to Danlin Valley is narrow, the hinterland is wide, and the sides are high. It is undoubtedly an excellent ambush place. As long as a group of people are dispatched in advance to prepare flammable firewood and supplies in the valley, then hide it in the two mountains. After the enemy goes deeper, it will launch rockets to light firewood and block the entrance of the valley, and bury the enemy in the sea of fire. If some enemy troops escape by chance and immediately dispatch cavalry to pursue the enemy, they will surely wipe out the enemy.
The idea is good, but the question is how to lure the enemy into the Danlin Valley.
Xia Lan and the others planned a plan, whether success or failure depends on the opponent's caution.
The next day, the main force led by Xia Lan scattered the banner and wandered around the Koluo Plain, deliberately appeared in the reconnaissance sight of the scouts of the Imperial Advance Army. Then this important information was placed in front of the emperor's commander.
"Haha-I didn't expect it! The silver-white holy sword that disappeared since the Battle of Verlans actually fled under our noses in a panic!" On the side of the war, Ferogan, heroically, received the information sent back by the scout immediately, and immediately laughed, as if he was very happy to see the bad dilemma of the empire's confidant!
The orthodox soldier who was born in the Heather family, Ferrogant always advocated subduing his opponents in war with great righteousness. The Droxigen Incident created by the empire's conspiracy undoubtedly shattered his fantasy. The world is under the enemy. Only the powerful force can ensure the stability of the empire. Even if he can't stand the empire's style of conduct, his mission as a soldier forced him to obey and adapt to the current war situation.
He has long heard of the Silver White Holy Sword. This is not a general person bragging about the Holy Sword, but a name written in the blood of the emperor. From the Battle of Colan Mountain to the end of flooding Brenweig, there is no such thing as a so-called luck. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. The Silver White Holy Sword proves its reputation through victory!
However, the general trend is with me, no matter how capable he has, he cannot defeat destiny!
"Sir! The silver-white holy sword has disappeared for a long time, but now it suddenly appears in front of us. I wonder if there is any fraud?" The adjutant beside Ferogan frowned and worriedly after hearing the news.
"I will go and investigate again, and all the staff will slow down the marching speed!" Ferogan nodded, and decided after thinking about it for a while.
After all, his enemies are not ordinary people, and any omissions may cause disaster. Elroy's lesson in Brenweig is still warning everyone who dares to underestimate the Silver White Sword.
Soon after, with the information coming from the scouts, the current situation of the Silver White Holy Sword was clearly presented to Ferogan and other high-level members.
Morale was poor, the formation was loose, and there were no signs of reinforcements ambushing within a hundred miles of the reconnaissance. The route of entry was directly aimed at the defense line of Thoren Lake.
"It seems that the Silver White Holy Sword has really fallen to the point of ending the end."
Ferogan smiled and browsed the information in his hand, his heart was full of heat. Obviously, the loss of Virlans also caused great trouble to the Silver-White Saint Sword army. If it weren't for his reputation, he wouldn't be able to suppress the mutiny of the army. Think of the various legions that were defeated in the Brunswick-Sarus area.
Put himself in his shoes, even if he stands in the position of the Silver White Sword, he will also choose to go to the Thorne Lake defense line that has not changed hands as soon as he learns that Villens has fallen, so as to preserve his vitality, so as to regroup one day and make a comeback!
However, the disintegration of the morale of the army during the march is difficult to control. As long as you don’t arrive at the Thorne Lake defense line in one day, this army will never be able to be excited.
"Everyone! I think it's time to end the era of the Silver White Holy Sword."
"Dare to die for the general!"
At this moment, the soldiers who were no longer worried were shouting in unison. If they led the elite cavalry troops of the Empire could not defeat a defeated army, all of them, who regarded themselves as the backbone of the Empire, could commit suicide and apologize!
"Very good! The whole army obeys the orders! Go forward quickly! Crush them for me!"
...
...
"The prey is caught."
Hearing the report of the scout who escaped by chance, Xia Lan sneered. The real drama they performed really deceived the enemy. It was a fact that the morale was low, the morale of the army was disintegrated, and there were no reinforcements ambushing for a hundred miles. The target of the marching was the Thoren Lake defense line. They would not have thought that the real ambush was a hundred miles away.
He wanted to chase the enemy without stopping, and he would not find any possibility of abnormal situation in Danlin Valley!
This distance is very dangerous, and you must accurately grasp both fast and slow.
"Order the entire army to retreat to Danlin Valley immediately if you don't want to die!"
After issuing this order, Xia Lan took the lead in riding his horse, which caused the already loose army to stir up a lot in an instant, which undoubtedly provided good news to the scouts who were investigating the emperor.
"Hurry! The enemy has fled in chaos! Maybe we can't even catch the prisoners if we are late!"
Ferogan, who was in charge of the pursuit command, excitedly and exaggeratedly inspired the fast-speeding army, especially when they were only more than ten miles away from the enemy!
When the army led by Ferogan finally saw the fleeing enemy troops rushing into the valley of the mountains ahead in a distance from sight, they were planning to charge with a wave of their hand, but were suddenly stopped by the staff beside them!
"Sir! The valley ahead is narrow. Will our army be ambushed by the enemy when they are rashly chasing us?"
"Maybe the Silver White Holy Sword also chose to escape from the valley in front of us because we had this concern!" Before Ferogan could speak, another staff member immediately said sarcastically: "If the scout had sent to investigate the situation in the valley, I'm afraid the Silver White Holy Sword would have run away long ago! Don't forget that we have been chasing them at the end of the way, and where did they get the time to set up ambush?"
"Don't you allow the Silver White Holy Sword to set up an ambush in the valley in advance?" said the aide who spoke angrily.
"I think you were scared by the name of the Silver-White Sacred Sword?! Observe the terrain of the valley from a distance. Although the entrance is narrow, the hinterland of the valley is wide, and the cavalry can gallop freely. Even if there is an ambush inside, we can quickly leave the battlefield with the speed of the war horse!" The choking accomplice snorted coldly, ignored the other party, turned to Ferogan and said, "Sir, don't miss the opportunity! Please order as soon as possible!"
Ferogan pondered for a moment and said, "You lead the front army into the valley to chase after you have no abnormal situation. After sending a signal, we will follow you and then go in!"
"yes!"
After a moment, the cavalry army quickly separated one-third of the troops and launched a collective charge towards Danlin Valley!
"It's really prudent. It seems that I have to increase the bargaining chips for temptation."
Looking back at the cavalry chasing behind him, most of the main forces remained unmoved, which was in line with the expected common sense.
After the entire army entered the valley, Xia Lan ordered his adjutant and his aides to lead the army to retreat first, and then led a more elite brigade under his command to be responsible for cutting off the rear, while at the same time, he was determined to use his own body as bait.
He rode on a white horse and slowly pulled out the inscription sword at his waist. As the noise of retreating behind him gradually faded away, the ground ahead trembled, and he looked around calmly, remembering the nervous faces.
"Are you scared?"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear it.
"Not afraid!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, even if it was against their will.
"Do you believe me?"
"believe!"
"I swear in the name of the Son of the "Holy Church of Glory"! Now I will raise the banner of victory again, and you who gather under this banner are led by me, listen to my orders, follow me to charge, and crush them!"
Xia Lan raised her long sword and roared, then rushed towards the cavalry group near to the front!
"Sword Domain"
open--
The invisible ripples spread around, and the air was filled with a cold and murderous aura. Countless swords, guns, swords and halberds suddenly enveloped the entire sky. The next second, it was like a whistling and storm roaring down!
The sword energy is scattered, the blood is flying, the despair is mourning, and countless flowers of life wither.
The long sword that was waving was slashed by people and horses, and even the open and hidden arrows could not escape the meticulous perception. No one-union enemy fell on his way forward. His sword was his flag, and the people behind him only needed to follow the bloody path he had chiseled out to rush.
When we come and go, we only leave the messy corpses everywhere!
"Send a signal to ask for help! We can't resist the killing of the Silver and White Holy Sword!" The officer in charge of the front army looked in horror and shouted heart-wrenchingly at the white god of death who was about to kill in front of him.
After a while, a dazzling light lit up above Danlin Valley!
"The whole army follows me to charge!"
To be continued...
