"Hurry up and get ready. We're going to have a big fight later. "Lord Lance wants to see our performance. If I find out who is a coward, I will stab his butt with this thing!" Lord Lance wants to see our performance. If I find out who is a coward, I will stab his butt with this thing! " Hilo roared in the camp and waved the well-made sword in his hand to emphasize it.
Following the general's orders, the second-level officer quickly mobilized his subordinates to assemble their armor as quickly as possible. As the sun hung high in the sky, the army left the camp and pressed down on the Unicorn Legion's defensive line. On this day, a fierce battle broke out between the two armies. Under Hilo's wild and bold command style, the Blue Wolf Infantry split into several fronts and alternately attacked the Unicorn Legion's defensive line. During this time, he didn't forget to insert the Blood Wolf Knight to harass and assist him in piercing through.
Under such a fierce offensive, the Unicorn Legion's defensive line was repeatedly broken. However, this army was carefully nurtured by Daniel. Although it was not as good as before, the quality of the soldiers was still there, and their military foundation could not be underestimated. Under the command of the new Guild Leader, the broken defensive line continued to retract and tighten. Increase the density of soldiers on the defensive line as much as possible to resist the attacks from the enemy.
Seeing this, Hilo rushed down to kill. However, after creating a gap in the defensive line, the unicorn soldiers risked their lives to attack, and he could only helplessly retreat. In the end, the unicorns' defensive line was barely preserved, but they suffered heavy casualties. Returning to the camp, Hilo was cursed by Lance. He did not refute him, but remained silent. He had his own considerations. It was not impossible to defeat the unicorns, but in that case, the army he brought with him would definitely suffer more damage than he had expected.
The military level of the Unicorn Legion and the tenacity of the soldiers made him respect this army. At the same time, he also knew that if he let loose and attacked forcefully, he would be able to win in the end, but it would only be a miserable victory. If it wasn't necessary, no general would choose such a tactic. Lance could ignore the casualties of his soldiers, but Hilo could not. He had always been a man who cherished his wings. Even so, he had a bad reputation under Rackett and was often reprimanded for being too conservative.
It was night, and the Unicorn Legion boldly attacked the camp. Hilo woke up from his sleep and quickly organized a counterattack. However, after the other party attacked, he immediately fled far away. When Hilo sent out his pursuers, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded under the curtain of night. The bombardment of the cannons forced the pursuers back. Before Hilo could catch his breath, another unicorn squad attacked from another direction. Under the constant harassment of the other party, none of the soldiers of Hilo slept well that night. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves and gunshots, Hilo finally saw the east turn white, and the general, who had been busy all night, had dark bags under his eyes.
This day was still filled with battles, but today, the unicorns had adopted the strategy of retreating while fighting, causing the battle line to continuously lengthen. In the end, Hillo, who felt that he had gone too deep, gave the order to retreat, and was naturally criticized by Lance again. However, Lance didn't know that it was a good thing that Hilo had retreated. Otherwise, if he were to be lured deeper by the Unicorn Legion, he would step into the opponent's trap. According to the new Unicorn Guild Leader's plan, he had originally planned to lure Hilo's army away from the camp and use an ambush to burn the opponent's supplies to force them to retreat.
Unfortunately, Hilo was cautious enough, but Lance didn't know how to appreciate it.
After two days of stalemate, on the morning of the third day, the sentinels sent out by Hilo quickly discovered that an unfamiliar army had joined the Unicorn Legion. The flag of that army was very similar to theirs. A snow-white wolf was depicted on the black flag. The sentinel quickly reported the news. Hearing this news, Hilo knew that it was Allen's army.
"Look, look!" In the main tent, Lance roared, "General Hilo, if you had put in more effort on the first day, we would have been sitting in Unicorn Castle drinking by now. But now, the other party's reinforcements had arrived smoothly. Now that the number of troops on the other side has surpassed ours, I would like to ask, how do you plan to fight this battle? "
Faced with Lance's roar, Hilo's expression did not change. He calmly said, "Lord Lance, unless there is a huge disparity between the two armies, quantity is not the main factor in determining the outcome of a war." It's good that the other party's reinforcements have arrived. Have you forgotten that Earl Rackett said before we left? Our main goal this time is not to really take down the unicorn territory. On the contrary, it is more important to find out the strength of that Sir. And now, the opportunity has come. "
"Are you an idiot? How can there be a reason not to seize the opportunity in front of you? Even if you want to find out the other party's background, you can take down Unicorn Castle and touch it to your heart's content. "
"But at that time, there is no guarantee that the other party will think that there is no need for support and choose to withdraw their troops." Hilo paused for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, even if we attack with all our might on the first day, even if we take down the unicorn territory, we will still suffer heavy losses. If the enemy's reinforcements arrive at this time, we will receive a fatal blow. "
"Lord Lance, please believe that everything I have done is for you and Earl Rackett's sake."
"It's best if that's the case. Then let me enjoy General Hilo's performance today." Lance sneered and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Hilo bowed deeply and didn't straighten up until Lance left the tent for a long time. A trace of gloom appeared on the general's face. He sighed softly and called for the messenger, "Get the Flame Dragon Rifle ready. We're going to be serious today."
This time, Rackett specially brought out a hundred newly purchased Flame Dragon Rifles and sent them to Hilo for him to carry with the army. The Flame Dragon Rifle could be considered a relatively new type of fire in the Bailey Empire. It was famous for its range, accuracy, and power, leaving other types of fire in the past far behind. If it weren't for the fact that he had heard that Allen's army's firepower was surprisingly fierce, Rackett wouldn't have been willing to use this batch of Flame Dragon Rifles.
As the gun left the warehouse and was handed over to the gunner, Hilo also came out of the camp and used a telescope to look at the other party's camp. He could see that on the other side of the battlefield, the enemy's camp flag had been replaced with a black background white wolf war flag. Hilo's heart skipped a beat. He changed his direction and saw that the unicorn army was retreating. This surprised Hilo. It was obvious that the other party's commander wanted to fight with the strength of his own army and disdained to borrow the strength of the Unicorn Army.
This was an extremely arrogant and even stupid approach. However, after studying Allen's battles, Hilo understood from another perspective that the baron's tactical style would sometimes win with a surprise attack, but he would not make such a low-level mistake. He remembered that Grar had mentioned the day before yesterday that the baron was not in the army, which meant that the enemy commander was someone else. If that was the case, it was possible that the tactical style would change.
