. When the five of Yeer and the others returned to the main army with a dozen unmanned horses and two prisoners tied up, the morale of the army was suddenly boosted.
In the past few days, the paladins have been able to talk a lot, but the farmers who were drafted in the army were really frightened by the emperor's scouts - although they said they didn't do anything, they were always He was hanging at the back of the army unhurriedly, which made these poor people with little knowledge always worry, and finally recognized the somewhat heavy reality that "they were indeed on the battlefield."
So when they saw and heard that Ye Er and several other paladin masters had killed and captured enemies twice their size, they immediately felt a sense of dependence and security.
The cryptic emotions that had pervaded the army in the past few days were swept away by this sudden "victory".
Raul is also very satisfied with this. So he just scolded Yeer and the others for leaving their posts without permission, and then praised them, "You have done a good job. In this way, those scouts will not dare to get too close to us, and they will not be able to check our military situation again." So easy!" He looked at Yael's face carefully and suddenly thought of this person, "Oh, it's you!" He couldn't help but joke, "Remember what happened last time, you were also the first A meritorious one! You are such a lucky guy!"
Raul joked and rewarded the scouts based on military merit - a medal made of iron sheets called "Courage" to commend the soldiers who won because of their bravery in fighting - about this, of course It was Katniss who suggested building it based on Feng FeiLang's wishes.
¡°Then, they asked people to take the prisoners down and let the interrogators interrogate them to extract usable information.
However, before the interrogator could present the contents of the interrogation, Raul became a little bit dumbfounded by what happened one after another.
On this night, after most of the scout teams gathered and returned, everyone suddenly discovered that the teams with gains seemed not to be limited to the team of Yell.
Nearly one-third of the scout team had conflicts with the emperor's scouts, and won without exception The horses and prisoners they brought back were many more than a large team of fifty people. .
Raul felt something was wrong with this situation and hurriedly summoned the captains of each scout team and asked them to come to his camp.
over there. Raul first praised them. Then he asked seriously: "After the battle. Did any enemy soldiers escape?"
The captains shook their heads. Let¡¯s talk about the situation at that time in turn-most of what happened to them. All were not much different from the J?rna team - only two teams were more unlucky. Their opponents left two men to garrison during the battle. The response is also relatively quick. Something was wrong at first sight. Then he galloped wildly.
But their speed is still not comparable. Paladins blessed with "courage" and "tenacity". After chasing for several miles. Still captured.
But this is nothing to brag about. Even the two captains. He also laughed at himself with a little frustration: "The time we spent chasing was actually much longer than fighting!"
Raul breathed a sigh of relief. The scout team won today. Of course, it can improve the work of our own army. But if there are too many. But there will also be some side effects.
For example: If the opponent only loses one or two teams of scouts. The enemy commander may attribute this to his own imprudence. The other party's conspiracy trap. I will naturally act more carefully in the future. But I won't be too suspicious.
But what is lost now is a lot of scouts. If you rely on conspiracy to speculate, it is a bit unexplainable - those who can serve as scouts are brave and clever warriors. So, how stupid do they have to be? Will they all fall into the trap one after another?
Therefore, as long as the opponent's commander's IQ is within the range of normal people, we can conclude that "the opponent's scouts are very strong" and "we cannot compare to them in individual combat"
And these are the things Raul wants to hide right now.
During this Northern Expedition, he deliberately limited the number of his own troops. Even if the troops were included, their number was only less than half of the troops forcibly recruited by His Majesty the Empire.
His purpose in doing this was not to force the king behind the thick walls of the royal capital. He wanted to use the number of people to make the king take it lightly and let his majesty take the initiative to fight with him in the wild.
Then, defeat the opponent in one fell swoop and achieve a decisive victory in one battle!
Raul, who has strong confidence in the strength of the paladins, firmly believes that he can do this, and plans accordingly.
But today¡¯s so many victories slightly disrupted the layout. Once His Majesty is alertedIf you feel uncomfortable and retreat, you will have to carry out a siege
Although Lilim, who had not come, had promised him: "With the help of our wizards, you can completely treat those city walls as nothing." He did not dare to take it lightly - after all, the longer the battle lasted, the more likely it would be. The more variables may occur.
Although he has some strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of the paladin, he also knows that the "lifeline" of logistical supplies that the army relies on for survival has been stretched too long.
If it takes too long, there will inevitably be a risk of being cut off. And as Raoul said to Katniss, "War is just a continuation of politics" - if they are unable to capture Cornflower's royal capital in the front, the lords in the rear and the kings of other countries may also be Will become eager to move.
So now Raul needs to come up with a countermeasure to prevent such a possible situation from happening.
He pondered for a while, then raised his head and ordered the captains of each scout team, "In the next few days, no matter what provocations the other team's scout team has, you are not allowed to respond! Even if the other team's scouts come looking for you, you are not allowed to respond. , you will also pretend to be defeated and return after a brief fight."
Raul¡¯s request is actually not in line with the so-called ¡°chivalry¡±, but the captains present also know that what soldiers need most is obedience, so after a slight hesitation, they still agreed.
Raul noticed their unhappiness, so he smiled and explained a few words, and the captains immediately became excited again. At this time Raul asked again, "In the past few days, which teams had the most contact with enemy scouts?"
Yael and the other two captains immediately stood up. Raul looked at them and then told the adjutant Simon beside him, "Adjust the personnel of the three teams. If there are players with obvious characteristics in their teams, they will be replaced first. " He sighed again and said to Ye'er and the other three, "You guys should also put some bandages on yourselves in the past few days and pretend to be injured."
Yael and others replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Raul nodded with satisfaction and told them to disband and return to the team. Then, Raul still did not relax. He was busy in the camp, asking Simon to select some servants with decent riding skills from the army, and gave them the honor of being able to hold knight's sword in the army. So they were included in the scout team.
Then, in the next few days, these teams of scouts were placed in positions where they could easily come into contact with enemy scouts.
