Mage Veigar

Chapter 378 Want to quit

Howling!
The warhorse was neighing, it was the last neigh as it used up its last bit of strength and fell to the ground unable to bear the burden.

It was Ingril who had trampled the warhorse into such a miserable state.

Originally, he was traveling light, following Vega's footsteps, and should have reached Saint Laurent at the same time as Vega. Unfortunately, halfway through, he discovered that a large wooden suspension bridge connecting the two cliffs was destroyed, forcing him to take a detour.

Although there is no evidence.

Even if he asked Vega himself, he probably wouldn't remember doing such a thing in his sleepwalking state after the battle. But Ingril was 100% sure that it must be that kid who chopped down the suspension bridge with a sword in an attempt to stop him from delivering information.

However, it is not as good as God.

After running hard and killing several horses, Ingrir finally returned to the army before the war broke out.

"Hurry, I want to see the commander-in-chief."

As soon as he returned to the central army, he did not even have time to drink a sip of water, and hurriedly conveyed to the soldiers his request to meet with the commander-in-chief.

But it was rejected.

The soldier looked at Ingril with an apologetic look and said, "Due to the latest actions of the enemy, Alex Sod's vanguard army has suspended the siege. The commander therefore went to the vanguard army to personally command the battle."

"what!"

Ingrir was startled. He realized that he could not delay any longer and should rush to the Vanguard Command immediately. Otherwise, once the war broke out, it would not be easy to retreat.

The two armies fought.

If you retreat before the battle begins, the enemy generally will not dare to pursue you because you maintain an impeccable retreat formation. If the enemy pursues you, you can change from the tail wing to the vanguard at any time and let the enemy know what it means to never pursue a desperate enemy.

But if we retreat halfway after the war starts.

Then, because of the inability to organize a retreat formation, the enemy will take advantage of the situation and kill them, resulting in the loss of a large number of troops. In serious cases, the entire army may even be wiped out. This is the difference between retreating before the war and retreating after the war.

So Ingrid had to stop the war at all costs.

He couldn't bear to see Tanir lose 20 soldiers of the kingdom without any chance of winning.

Therefore, he did not care about his dusty and unkempt appearance, changed his warhorse and rushed towards the vanguard army as soon as possible. When he arrived at the vanguard army, he found that the war had not yet started and the entire vanguard army was waiting 5 miles away from the city.

After asking several soldiers, he finally found the commander.

He was just about to step forward to greet Commander-in-Chief Tanniel and Division Commander Alex Sood, but his attention was attracted by a scene in the distance.

This is the front line of the main force that has separated from the vanguard army. From this position, one can clearly see every detail of the west gate of Saint Laurent City. It was at this time that he discovered that something was wrong with Saint Laurent City.

All four doors wide open?

There is no one guarding the city wall?

The moment he saw these two situations, Ingril, who had been in contact with Vega since the north of the empire, immediately thought of something. If everything was not wrong, what kind of tactics did that kid want to use?

No one knew better than him the horror of guerrilla tactics.

That tactic can not only delay an enemy force that is several times larger than oneself for ten days or half a month with the least number of people, but can also unite all civilians and regroup the main force that has been broken up into small pieces to turn defeat into victory.

This is a tactic that he still cannot understand the principle behind.

Therefore, the situation is now obvious. The little devil was able to deceive the commander-in-chief's eyes, but he had been fooled once, so how could he be fooled by the same trick twice?

"Sure enough, sure enough..." Ingril automatically imagined some terrible things: "Sure enough, that brat wanted to cut down the suspension bridge because he was afraid that I would come back before the battle."

With this thought.

Yinglier applied for an interview and went forward to greet the commander-in-chief: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I am back."

"It's General Ingliel."

Tanier said in a very weak and tired voice: "I think I need an explanation from you now. Why did that little devil return to Saint Laurent City? You should know how much impact this has on our plan."

"The official is guilty."

Ingril recalled the scene of Vega's killing god again. He couldn't help but shudder, and then told Tanier the whole situation word for word, and exaggerated it a little.

"General Ingliel, do you know what you are talking about?"

Tanier coughed a few times and said, "He is just a shadow mage, not an elemental mage. Even if he is a high-level elemental mage, he can still be worn down to death by using 10,000 ordinary soldiers. But what have you done... cough cough cough..."

A series of coughing sounds.

Tanier was a little overwhelmed, and finally waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let it go now. I won't hold you responsible anymore. The most important thing now is how to fight this war. Do you have any good ideas?"

Tannier pointed to the city of Saint Laurent.

He said in a puzzled tone: "What is the enemy's intention in leaving all four gates open without any soldiers deployed to defend them? I really can't follow that kid's thinking. Does General Ingliel have any good ideas?"

In fact, Tenniel was just asking politely.

He did not have much hope for Ingril. What great things could a general with more than 10,000 men who could not even stop one man do? He even doubted his ability to identify talent and began to regret entrusting Ingril with such an important task.

However, what Ingliel said next was beyond his expectations.

"Have you ever heard of guerrilla warfare, General?"

Ingrid said confidently, "If what I predict is correct, the four gates will be wide open and no soldiers will be deployed on the city walls to defend the city. This is to preserve the manpower for the guerrilla tactics that the kid invented."

“It turns out to be guerrilla tactics!”

Tanier's face changed instantly. As a 5-star general, he certainly knew how to keep up with the times. Therefore, he had certainly heard of one of the fundamental reasons that led to Ingril's defeat and the Kingdom's defeat on the northern front of the Empire.

Guerrilla tactics.

He heard that this tactic could use the least amount of troops to drag the enemy's large forces into the quagmire of street fighting, which was a deadly nightmare, especially for troops with insufficient supplies. This tactic was also recognized by the Kingdom Military Research Institute as the most restraining tactic of their new blitzkrieg.

If the enemy uses guerrilla warfare at this time...

Doesn't that mean that it is impossible for him to completely capture the city of Saint Laurent within two days? The most likely scenario is that the entire army will collapse in two days, and then the imperial and dynastic armies will regroup and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Tanniel was frightened by England's two words and wanted to back down.

Even if he is a gambler, no gambler would make a gamble that would result in 100% loss.

And just at this moment, a messenger hurried forward to report.

"Report to the commander-in-chief."

The messenger presented a battle report: "Half Moon City has fallen, Saya City is in danger, requesting your support."
