Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"Enemy attack?!"

Cranna's heartbeat immediately stopped for half a beat.

After the army defeated West Falun, the initial losses were actually not that tragic. However, the opponent's pursuit all the way caused heavy losses to the army and its morale dropped to the extreme.

The Third Army The soldiers were like headless flies fleeing in the wilderness, followed by the jackals, tigers and leopards chasing after them, vowing to make this army disappear in the snow.

"Sir! Should we...sir?"

In shock, Kranner had no choice but to turn around and look for Levi for help.

Unfortunately, when he turned back, Levi had disappeared from the place, and only the tall horse was still snorting and neighing.

…………Dividing line…………

The pursuers from the city of West Falun were captured by the wind and snow.

Originally, if the army continued to move forward, the pursuers who were also advancing in the wind and snow might not have a chance to make a sneak attack. After all, both sides were exhausted. Although the third army was seriously injured, there were still two-thirds of them. The military strength and the number of pursuers are small. It would be difficult to kill the third legion's army without relying on a single attack.

Just when the army was camping, it became an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.

Hundreds of lightly armed swordsmen easily rushed into the front tent of the Third Army, and the soldiers in the tent only had time to shout out the desperate word"enemy attack" before they were hacked to death with random swords.

It's a pity that this bone-chilling cold weather is not suitable for setting fire... Otherwise, the burning with the help of the roaring north wind would be enough to spread the panic to the entire army immediately.

(Hmph... Regulus Harvey, at this level, is actually worthy of the Lord's war...)

The person who is thinking like this is holding a big sword, and he is the leader of this group of people..

As one of the few senior commanders in the city of West Falun, although the army he led only numbered less than a thousand, it was the most elite force in the entire city. It had rich combat experience and had made great achievements in helping his master separatize West Falun.

The one chasing the Third Legion this time was naturally his unit, named after him: the Blood Eagle Legion.

Thinking of this,"Blood Eagle" smiled proudly.

Regulus Harvey is indeed difficult to deal with. The Fourth Army led by him has defeated the anti-king coalition three times in a row, wiped out several small separatist forces, and forced the lords including his masters to concentrate. The troops defeated another legion of the Kazdare Royal Court under the city of West Falun.

Unfortunately, although the opponent's commander was killed, the opponent's evacuation was very decisive. With the cover of the wind and snow, nearly 80% of the remaining army left - fortunately, in the first few days, his own troops The elites held this army tightly and took a few bites out of them.

However, the retreat route of the Third Army during this period was extremely strange. It deceived its scouts several times. In addition, intelligence showed that Regulus Harvey took over the temporary command of this army. No need to Everyone knows that such a route must be the work of that man.

If it hadn't been for several days of forced marching, the morale of the remnant army had dropped to the extreme. Nearly a thousand people had fled along the way, and the army had no morale. I am afraid that opportunities like today would have been rare.

"Send the order, let the cavalry gather, and directly attack the opponent's camp!"

Looking at the large tent that had just been set up not far away, Blood Eagle's eyes narrowed, and a trace of cruelty flashed through his eyes:"Today, I will see the head of Regulus Harvey!"

…………Dividing line…………

When Levi arrived at the Chinese army camp, the former army was completely in chaos.

Even if they haven't been attacked yet, just the word"enemy attack" can scare these nervous soldiers into confusion. Fortunately, the Third Army is also a strictly trained regular army, and such an incident as bombing the camp has not happened yet..

But it's only a matter of time

"Crossbowmen, aim their arrows at the front camp! The heavy shield soldiers stepped forward, ready to stop the enemy who broke through!"

Levi looked at the front army not far away with stern eyes. They must have suffered heavy losses after being attacked by a sneak attack.

But the opponent's goal is definitely not just as simple as disrupting the front army. Their goal must be the entire army. First of all. , is the Chinese army with the largest number of people!

Therefore, the Chinese army camp cannot be in chaos, otherwise the whole army will collapse.

"But...sir...there are still things ahead……"

The commander of the crossbowmen and the commander of the third legion hesitated.

There are still his Paoze brothers who are being massacred in the front. Even if he can't save them, he still has to point his weapons at them. This is difficult for this veteran of the Third Army to accept.

(Sigh...)

Sighing silently, Levi knew that if he were in the Fourth Legion, the rules and regulations would have been ingrained into his bones. Even if his orders were for the soldiers to commit suicide directly, they would faithfully execute them.

But it's different here. After all, he is only the temporary commander-these people obey him, firstly because of his reputation, and secondly because the other party also regards him as a life-saving straw.

That's all.

So Levi had to be patient and explain quickly:

"The opponent will not spend time to kill the brothers in front. Their target is our army, and their number is small. For the surprise attack to be effective, it must rely on the initial momentum to disrupt the morale of the entire army."

Levi glanced at the surprise attack troops that were gathering in the distance, and continued:"Their purpose is to use the chaos of the front army to break away from our Chinese army camp. Once we are in chaos, the opponent can drive straight in."——"

"——But on the other hand, once we fail to cause chaos, the other party will have no chance to take advantage of us. And we still have thousands of troops. If we directly attack them, even if the opponent is an elite force, they will not be able to stop a force four times ours."

He glanced gently at the commander who had just raised objections. When he saw that there was cold sweat on his forehead, Levi couldn't bear to continue to blame:"……There is nothing wrong with caring about the robes, but as a commander, you have to think about the other robes behind you! Soldiers have a duty to obey orders……！"

The captain clenched his fists and nodded heavily.

"——yes! Sir!"

Levi nodded slightly:

"good! Pass my orders and cock your crossbows - anyone who dares to attack our central army is considered an enemy - he will be killed on sight!"
