Chapter 1611: Chapter 72: Feint Attack (Part 2)
If they had this kind of foundation before the war, the siege would not have been so grueling, and perhaps they could have severely damaged the enemy forces, establishing the fa of Marquis Simon.
“Haha…
Your Excellency the Marquis, you know the situation within the Allied Forces, but the enemy does not.
Just watch, if the enemy wants to retreat, they will definitely launch a feint attack as cover.”
Hudson shook his head and said.
With different information, the decisions made are naturally different. Thinking from the enemy’s perspective is a necessary skill for an excellent general.
However, Hudson would never voice these thoughts.
Being able to perceive them is talent; needing an outsider to remind you ans it’s best not to lead troops.
The greatest taboo on the battlefield is being half-inford. If you can’t play strategic tactics, then stabilize and fight steadily.
Forcibly applying strategies can only harm yourself and others.
“Marshal, if the enemy intends to retreat, can we do sothing?”
A young officer eagerly asked.
The retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops is a huge task. Especially with strong enemies at their back, the slightest mistake could lead to a massive defeat.
Instantly, the eyes of the generals in the command headquarters glowed, waiting for Hudson’s decision.
“It’s not the right ti yet. The enemy might be planning to retreat, but there’s also a small probability that it’s a trap.
Nightti is the world of the Earth Core race, and we can only exert a fraction of our combat power at most. Even if the raid succeeds, we may not achieve the desired results.
Let’s observe first. Once the enemy retreats from the city, see if there’s an opportunity.”
Hudson resolutely declined.
A night raid might seem good but depends on who the opponent is.
The Giant Foot Centipede has lived in dark places since childhood, and fighting them at night would be attacking their strength with our weakness.
It’s unknown how much success we can achieve, but the Allied Forces would certainly suffer heavy losses.
Veterans are not Elites; even if they appear similar, there’s an essential difference between them.
If we were beaten back, his lifeti of glory would be ruined.
Moreover, even if we succeed, there aren’t many benefits.
Constant feints serve to boost morale and also to intimidate the enemy.
Now that the plan has succeeded and the enemy is fleeing, why stop them!
The reinforcents from the Human Alliance will arrive soon, and although the two Offering Teams have few numbers, each one is a Strongman.
Such strength in the hands of an ordinary general would only restrain the enemy’s high-end forces.
If given to Hudson, he wouldn’t be so rigid.
On the racial battlefield, there are no rules.
Now that the Giant Foot Centipede has opened the road, letting them pass, the Demonic Crocodile Clan will certainly beco dissatisfied.
Of course, the Giant Foot Centipede is also very dissatisfied at this mont.
After all, the Demonic Crocodile Clan’s presence in the battles in Parma Province was too passive.
Outwardly cautious, but such a reason can’t be accepted by the Giant Foot Centipede.
What seed like a few days was enough to create a rift in the temporary cooperation between the two clans. Next, it’s about enlarging this rift.
…
On the city wall.
“Is there no movent from the enemy army?”
The King Centipede looked towards the Allied Army Camp and asked.
Tonight’s retreat was crucial for the Giant Foot Centipede Clan, and no mistake could be allowed.
“Your Majesty, rest assured!
We are watching closely; at this mont, the enemy’s camp is brightly lit and noisy, seemingly hosting a celebration banquet.
The place is full of drunkards, even if the enemy discovers our movents, their cavalry can’t lift their guns!”
Marshal Howell imdiately assured.
Failure cannot be afforded again!
The Halo of the Famous General has faded, and further defeat could end his military career, perhaps even his life.
He had experienced the weight of being the “first famous general on the continent”.
Even if he wished deep inside to tear Hudson to pieces, on the real battlefield, he didn’t want to face this formidable opponent.
“Humph!
Don’t forget, the enemy’s Magical Beast Legion hasn’t moved, and not all of the cavalry might be engaged.
Tell the rearguard troops to be extrely cautious, and do not let the enemy have any chance!”
The King Centipede warned with a gloomy face.
Clearly, he hadn’t cald down from the day’s anger, and he was doubtful of Marshal Howell’s military command abilities.
“Your Majesty, rest assured!
This ti I will personally lead the rear guard; if there’s any more mishap…”
Marshal Howell’s assurance softened the King Centipede’s expression sowhat, but the faces of the surrounding centipedes turned gloomy.
Everyone could see that Marshal Howell’s assurance was coerced.
Even those who normally opposed Marshal Howell looked at him sympathetically at this mont.
With a war possibly breaking out at any mont, a rift between the king and the marshal was not a good sign for the upcoming situation.
Unfortunately, they had no way to speak up and advise.
…
“Kill!”
Shrill cries of killing pierced through the quiet of the night, as if tens of thousands of troops launched a charge.
The magical lamps in the Allied Army Camp lit up, illuminating the three hundred ters around the camp as if it were dayti.
The Magic Crystal Cannon readjusted its angle, the Magic Crossbows and Archers were on high alert, and the infantry was already in formation, ready to engage at any mont.
The centipede soldiers who initiated the charge were internally anxious upon seeing the enemy on high alert.
Facially filled with indignation, as the main forces were about to retreat, the unlucky task of covering them fell to them.
