Although the current situation is a crisis in the eyes of others, Gruto unexpectedly smelled the opportunity of war.
Along the way, Gruto has been thinking about their strategy. In the current situation, their troops are actually no match for the troops of the First Legion. Although there is not much difference in the elite combat ability of the soldiers, the problem is that their entire regiment has no officers. Can barely do it.
In this case, it is obviously impossible to confront the opponent head-on. In the normal way of fighting, the command system here will directly collapse if you hit it casually.
Gruto clearly knew that the only advantage on his side was winning by surprise. The other party does not know their actions yet, and this is the key. Therefore, we must take advantage of this advantage to kill or disable the opponent in one go.
But how is this arranged? Gruto didn't think about it until the opponent's reconnaissance team was caught here.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed troublesome, but the problem is that the current situation is different from ordinary wars, because they may directly instigate this reconnaissance force. This is obviously impossible under ordinary circumstances.
Sure enough, after Gruto and the captured investigation team explained the situation, the other party was of course also stupid. This troop is actually a troop of the Second Legion, and now they are here to fight their First Legion.
And they actually rebelled without knowing it, and now their family members have been arrested, and now they are about to be beheaded.
Hearing this, coupled with a lot of evidence such as announcements, Gruto quickly instigated the investigation team. So this crisis has become a war opportunity, because they have instigated them, and they will be able to approach the First Legion's garrison unscrupulously.
Yes, the news brought back by the wave of people they instigated rebellion is all normal. Obviously, this will not arouse any suspicion. No one would have thought that there would be a troop here. And relying on the cover of this information, they were able to keep approaching the camp, until they all came to ambush on the hill next to the First Army camp, no one noticed.
Under normal circumstances, even if this troop was unexpected, according to the degree of self-discipline of the First Legion, it is impossible for them to come to such a close position without being discovered. But now the opportunity has just come by itself, and in this position, if there is a wave of surprise attacks, it is impossible for the First Legion to react in time.
Of course, it is impossible to wait for a long time. Such a large force may still be discovered. Gruto immediately decided that the time for the attack would be tonight, and one wave would directly lead this wave of rebels away.
Everyone lay in ambush and waited quietly for the time of night to come. And then...then another accident happened.
Just when the night was quiet, Gruto had already informed all the soldiers that they were going to start a night attack. However, just when they were about to make a move, the troops of the First Legion below suddenly became noisy.
After a while, the alarm bell of "Ding Ding Ding" sounded, which was obviously an invasion. At this moment, the hearts of all the people on the top of the mountain were lifted. They...were discovered?
Gruto was also flustered for a while and didn't know what to do. After all, this was his first time commanding troops. He had led a team of dozens of people at most before, but now he has nearly 100,000 people. The difference between the two is his Of course I can feel it personally.
I used to think that my plan was good and I was blessed with a good opportunity, but now something unexpected happened, what should I do? "Fight with them!" Most of the people around Gruto said so, since they were discovered, don't even think about running away, just start a fight.
Gruto was very entangled. He knew that as long as the opponent was prepared in the current situation, they really couldn't beat them. However, just when he was hesitating and didn't know what to do, the horn of charging came from afar.
We are all soldiers of the empire, and obviously understand the meaning of the horn. Are there troops going to camp? Where did this army come from? Everyone is dumbfounded.
Confused, they saw a troop suddenly appearing below, rushed into the camp of the First Legion, and fought with the First Legion.
"It's the flag of the Third Legion." Someone here also recognized the other party's flag and said immediately.
"Third Legion?" Gruto didn't feel relieved when he heard this. Of course, he also asked about the current situation before. The Third Army is hooking up the fortifications on the line of defense not far away, and it may indeed be their troops. But why did they dare to rush out to fight? Didn't you mean building defenses? And how did the commander of the Third Army know that the First Army below has only one army, not an army of 200,000 people?
"The commander of the third legion seems to be a woman, the one who has made many military exploits recently." The person next to him said.
"How dare you take the initiative to attack? What courage..."
Listening to the discussion of the people next to him, Gruto remembered it. When they asked for information before, those people also said that the commander of the Third Army is a woman named Esdes, who is said to be very powerful. On the one hand, it seems that she was originally a person of Her Majesty, and joining the army is a general's position. On the other hand, she has repeatedly made military exploits, won countless battles, and became the commander of the army within half a year.
Gruto was a little skeptical about this at first, but looking at it now, he really deserves to be a victorious general. At this time, they dared to take the initiative to attack each other's camp at night. That shows that General Esdes fully saw their strategy of dividing troops, and also seized the right time to catch the First Army by surprise.
Gruto was a little flustered at first, wondering if he could win. But I didn't expect that such a situation would happen now, just in time for the third army to raid the opponent. For a moment, Gruto even felt that he was blessed by the gods, so he bumped into himself no matter what good things happened.
"Everyone! The army of the empire is here, and this is our chance!" Gruto stood up and shouted, "If we don't fight now, it's better to wait! Come with me!"
There is no doubt that everyone knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't hurry up. So a group of people got up directly, condescending from the mountain, and rushed down.
So there was the previous situation, but Gruto, who was charging, didn't expect that when they were about to charge up, the sound of ringing gold suddenly sounded in the distance. The troops of the Third Legion heard the sound and started to retreat slowly.
At this moment, Gruto was a little confused. What's the situation? Why did you suddenly retreat again?
It's just that he didn't expect that all the people who appeared on the battlefield at this time, more than 200,000 soldiers and generals, not one of them was not confused.
