Mage Veigar

Chapter 254 Secretly crossing Chencang
3:18 in the morning, this is the most suitable time for a night attack.

At this time, Veigar's 1st and 2nd Brigades had already arrived 100 meters away from the city gate, and the Shadow Mage Squad had quietly lurked on the city wall, ready to kill the soldiers guarding the city.

wow-

After a few noises, silence returned to the top of the city wall.

A few minutes later, a gap appeared at the east gate of the city. Apparently, the guards on guard were all killed before they could even sound the alarm. This was because the number of guards on guard was too small, just equal to the number of the Shadow Mage team.

Only 10 people guarding such a huge city gate?

The first reason is of course that Kafin sent all the troops he could to the front line, even sparing several magicians and professionals in the two companies, because he never dreamed that Vega would launch a surprise attack from the rear.

In Kafyin's opinion.

At this time, Vega had been led by him to fight to the death with the bridge. How could he have any other energy to find other ways to cross the river? As for whether he could cross the river by bypassing the upstream and downstream, he was not even interested in sending scouts.

At this stage, the most important thing is to keep an eye on Veigar and win the battle.

As long as heavy troops are deployed on the front line, there is no need to worry that Vega will fall into the trap, let alone that his rear will be lost. Moreover, Vega's air force has been lost and he does not even have the capital for an airborne landing.

This is a long time.

Kafin had no idea that Vega's main force had easily captured his city. The two ordinary companies he left behind were wiped out in their sleep by Vega's troops without even a ripple.

The two companies have less than 500 people at most, while Vega's brigade has more than people. It is very easy to kill hundreds of ordinary people with zero casualties, which may even be like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.

3:30 am.

The siege, which lasted only 12 minutes, ended just like that. Moreover, half of these 12 minutes were spent on traveling and entering the city. The time taken to wipe out the two companies was less than half of that.

Fortunately, Kaf did not see this scene, otherwise he would have fainted from anger on the spot.

Although Kafyn couldn't see it, this scene was seen by the generals who were watching the battle.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it even if they were beaten to death. There was such a ridiculous siege war in the world, and the one who captured the city was actually the famous "Indestructible Formation" of Jialan.

Is this really the unbreakable formation that is said to be "invincible to thousands of troops and victorious to ten thousand horses"?

Is this really the Major General Kafyn Dahlberg who used stillness to defeat movement, won the battle in one go, and was so powerful that he could defeat an entire standard corps of the enemy with just one division?
This situation is really hard to believe.

The head of the audit team, who had praised Tekua Kafuin, was a little embarrassed. He immediately said to everyone, "My dear colleagues, I think this time it is not that our army is too weak, but that the enemy is too strong. If you were in charge this time, what would you do?"

"This……"

Everyone was hesitant and couldn't explain it clearly.

Although they had not thought of luring Vega to build a bridge, seeing that Vega spent so much effort to repair the plank road, even they would be attracted and send heavy troops to block the front line instead of paying attention to the defense of the city in the rear.

This is also a matter of course.

As long as the source is blocked, there is no need to worry about the safety of the rear. So instead of dividing the troops into two groups, it is better to deploy them on the front line and destroy Vega on the first line of defense. Moreover, even the command center has been moved to the front line, so there is no need to worry about the decapitation tactics.

"This is what happens when you underestimate Major Vega."

Tiles stood up with disdain and said, "Excuse me, the so-called unbreakable formation is nothing more than a psychological warfare. Don't forget how Major Vega got here."

"As expected, the best way to use troops is to attack their hearts."

Everyone suddenly realized that this time it was not that our army was too weak, but that the enemy was too strong. Kafuin's psychological warfare was already very powerful, but Vega turned the tables. While seeing through Kafuin's trap, he also used Kafuin's routine to trap the original owner of the trap. Just repeating this sentence is despairing, not to mention personally participating in it.

The generals in the review team were desperate, and Major General Kafyn was even more desperate.

It wasn't until two days later that Vega's troops attacked his main force from the rear, nearly wiping out his entire army. Only then did Kafyin realize that his lair had been raided.

After finally repelling Vega's troops temporarily, he led his troops back without believing in evil. When he saw Vega's flag on the city wall fluttering in the wind, God knows how desperate he was.

In addition to the commander's death due to decapitation tactics, two conditions must be met to win.

The first is to occupy the enemy's city, and the second is to annihilate the enemy's troops to less than 1%. Vega has completed the first item, and now he only needs to annihilate his troops to less than 1% to win the war.

Once the first one is completed, it is only a matter of time before the second one is completed.

Why do you say that?

Because in a war zone, resource supplies are refreshed in the city. If you lose the city, not only will you not have a safe line of defense, but you will also need to think about how to replenish resources.

With his current resources, he could only hold out for a week at best.

Leaving aside the resource problem, the most serious problem now is that starting this morning, Vega actually stopped building the bridge. Now he is in a situation where there is a deep abyss in front of him and a group of tigers and wolves behind him.

According to Kafkin's idea.

If Veigar uses his main force to occupy his city, then Veigar's rear cities will inevitably be empty.

In addition, Vega lost a large number of troops in order to attract his attention when he was repairing the plank road in the open and secretly marching to Chencang. Now he can just drive his troops all the way over. There should not be much resistance to occupying Vega's city. It would be acceptable if he could complete the exchange of cities.

But Vega actually stopped building the bridge.

This meant that he couldn't cross the river even if he wanted to, and without a city, he would be wiped out by Vega sooner or later. After all, who could defend against being attacked from both sides? This was a taboo in military strategy.

For the first time, Kaf regretted blowing up the bridge in the beginning. He originally wanted to trick Veigar, but he didn't expect that Veigar would use him instead. The trap did not trap Veigar, but trapped himself.

Plus, he has one less reinforcement regiment than Veigar...

"Is there no choice but to surrender?"

Kaf thought of his son and his own humiliating experience: "I will never let this happen. Even if it means a desperate struggle, I will take the city back first."

But at this moment, new intelligence came from the scouts.

"Report to the commander."

The scout looked at Kafyn and reported, "Due to unknown reasons, the flow of the river on the front line has decreased dramatically. It is no longer dangerous for a large force to cross the river on foot. I am afraid that the enemy will launch an attack on our army. Please pay attention, commander."

"Could this be... God's help?"

Kaf's right hand trembled slightly due to excitement. As long as he could cross the river, a mere brigade could not stop his attack. Now taking down Vega's city was the best way to stop the loss.

"Give the order for the entire army to cross the river on foot."

Kafin waved his hand and ordered the army to cross the river without thinking. This was his only lifeline to turn defeat into victory.
