Heart of Empire Chapter 191: Night attack

The night of January twenty-sixth. ＞One novel＜≤

In the camp of the support troops fifty or sixty kilometers away from Shizuipo, before a bonfire, Dane, Alexandrina, Delin and several other important figures under Dane gathered together There was a ball.

Dane held a piece of letter paper in his hand, which was sent by a wolf cavalry sent by Morno in the afternoon. Originally, the job of delivering letters would be much faster to the sword falcon knights flying in the sky than the wolf cavalry running on the ground, but who let the sword falcon knights be driven away from the battlefield by the orc's biped dragon cavalry?

"What did General Morno say?" Delin asked.

Dyne shrugged his shoulders, put the letter in his hand into the bonfire in front of him, and said: "He will launch a night attack on the orc army entrenched in Shizuipo tonight, and let us Prepare for the response overnight, and investigate the situation early tomorrow morning, and if they get stuck in the quagmire, we will rescue them."

"Morno is too whimsical, isn't he?" Alexandrina said she couldn't understand, "There is an orc army with more than 15,000 people stationed in Shizuipo, and he only has 1,000 people in his hand." The early team, what do you use to attack at night? Even if the night can provide some cover, the risk is still too great."

Patience is also not optimistic about Morno's actions. She said: "Not only that, since the night can provide Morno with cover, it will also bring him trouble. Now, all the sword falcon knights have been driven away. After the eyes in the sky, it is not easy to find valuable targets in the camp of more than 15,000 orcs.”

Different from the two of them, Delin seems to have a different opinion. Seeing something wrong with his expression, Dane said: "Derlin, tell me."

Delin said: "I think Morneau may succeed this time."

"Yo..." Dane became interested and continued to ask, "Why?"

"Guess." The expression on Delin's face was more or less embarrassed, and he didn't have any confidence in his heart. However, under Dane's encouraging eyes, he still uttered his guess: "That's right, I noticed that Sir Marin's Sword Falcon Knight has been investigating the situation of the orc army. Before, although The orc troops had also dispatched Wyverns to chase them before, but they had never taken such a large-scale action like today. The two hundred dragon cavalry were almost the entire air force of the orc army, and they didn't even go Take care of the army of Governor Oze who is chasing behind. But why is this? Orc air cavalry, who have never made such a big move before, suddenly made such a big move this evening?"

"I think it must be because of the orcs' own actions. We don't have enough information about their actions, so we don't know, but we can make a bold guess: they want to leave Shizuipo overnight! After all, the terrain of Shizuipo is too delicate, suitable for garrisoning, but because of the terrain, it is not suitable for normal marching and fast passage, they may want to jump out of this big pit overnight, otherwise, after dawn, they will still be there slowly. When passing through Shizuipo, it is very likely that Governor Oze will catch up with him."

Dyne nodded and said, "It's about the same as I thought. I guess, Morno probably guessed this and planned to launch a night attack on the orc army. In this case, he succeeded The possibility is greatly increased, and if the orc army is suddenly attacked while passing through Shizuipo at night, it is likely to cause huge chaos."

"But it's just a guess, and we don't have any intelligence to support such a guess. Wouldn't it be a very risky thing to make a strategic decision based on it?" Cecilia wondered asked.

It is normal for her to have such doubts. What these orcs want to do, in fact, no one can say for sure. They may want to retreat from Shizuipo overnight, but they may also be preparing to build a defense line at Shizuipo, and they are planning to fight a decisive battle with Governor Oze's human army that is chasing closer and closer. It is also possible that they simply wanted to drive away the Sword Falcon Knight who was hovering obediently in the sky.

There are many possibilities, but for Morno, who cannot accurately control the information, making the decision to attack at night is undoubtedly a pure gamble. If you win the bet, you may not win, after all, the size difference between the two parties is too large; if you lose the bet, hehe...

Dane spread his hands and said, "He's going to gamble, who can do it? However, I think Morneau should have a high probability of winning the bet. This time, he is quite courageous."

Several people nodded in sympathy, and Delin suddenly asked again: "What about us? Are we going to do something tonight?"

"No need!" Dane waved his hand and said, "Whether he wins the bet or not, we will see the result tomorrow morning. Send that wolf cavalry back and let him tell Morneau that we are already here." Prepared for the response. Let's rest as usual at night, and get up early tomorrow morning to see the situation over there before deciding what to do. By the way, Patience, let your rangers work harder, tomorrow morning, We must know what happened to Shizuipo!"

"Well, the rangers will not let you down."

…

Dain, who was full of worries, tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Morneau's actions tonight are of great importance, making it difficult for him to sleep after thinking about it.

He still can't completely get out of the vortex, but at least he serves as the reserve team, so he doesn't need to rush to the front line. But he would still worry about whether the troops brought by Moreno would be dead or alive, which would have a certain impact on the future situation in the southeast of Schindler.

Just tossing and turning like this, until the middle of the night, he thought that he didn't know what he was going to face in the morning, and he must maintain sufficient energy, so he forced himself to sleep.

When he fell asleep, he was woken up.

"Boss! The news from the rangers is that Morno's army has successfully raided!"

In a word, Dane, who was still half asleep and half awake, lost all sleep in an instant!

He got out of the tent at the fastest speed~IndoMTL.com~Seeing Delin standing at the door with the same excited face, he asked, "What's going on?"

Delin briefly said: "Just now, an elf ranger sent back the latest battle situation ahead. In the middle of the night, Morno led more than a thousand soldiers and launched a fierce surprise attack on the orc army in Shizuipo. As expected, they really planned to withdraw from Shizuipo overnight! At one o'clock in the morning, Morno's army had already entered, and it seems that the orc troops marching at night may have been disturbed!"

Dain waved his fist fiercely: "Great! Call me the troops in an hour. Now that Morno has succeeded, we can start preparing for the next move!"

The blows of the past two days have been a bit big. I looked at the fairly good collection data and put it on the shelves with confidence, but the subscription results were terrible...

It feels like the world is getting dark all of a sudden, and for two or three days, I feel like I can't lift my spirits up at all.

Thanks to the book friends who have given rewards these two days, no matter how you say it, it is a kind of comfort, at least it can make some energy to write the manuscript. (To be continued.)
