Chapter 494

"The reaction is not slow." From a distance, William saw that the enemy's offensive array just put forward had become a defensive array, and finally pulled his mouth.

Just a cold expression, but it just turned into a sneer.

Almost without thinking, William can know what the other person is thinking at the moment. Obviously, it was because the other party found that Rena and her cavalry troops were missing, so they chose to shrink their lineup for defense. After all, Rena's performance was so eye-catching in the previous battle between 3000 and 6000 that everyone had a deep concern about Rena and her cavalry troops - the defense array of 3000 people, It was completely chiseled open under Rena's charge.

If Rena hadn't stormed the other party's formation, plunged the other party's central army into chaos, and then successfully attacked the flank, it would be really difficult to have a head-on confrontation with a 3000 strong army.

This shows how terrible Rena's aura skills are, especially when she is also a commander of an army.

"This man is definitely not Domingo." William said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that there was such a prudent general with excellent judgment in the Hastings family But unfortunately, his vision is too small. "

"How do you know he's not Domingo?" Sean stood beside William and said with some doubt.

"If it were Domingo, he would have attacked now." William said lightly, "Domingo has a strong sense of attack, which can be seen from his training of the second cavalry regiment into an army that is particularly good at rushing and attacking. You know, the combat style of any army will be inherited from the general who leads them. If the general is more cautious and conservative, then this army will be better at defense Similarly, if an army especially advocates attack, its generals will have a strong sense of attack and aggression. "

Sean nodded vaguely.

However, William didn't expect Sean to understand this. He knew that Sean was a shopkeeper, but he didn't hate such a lord, because he would never tell what he didn't know. What William hated most was those guys who didn't know and pretended to know. Of course, Sean actually has many places worthy of William's admiration. For example, his vision of people is very accurate. People like Rena and Alfred are not only excellent, but also have never had any problems.

Of course, there is a more important point, that is, he has no doubt about his employment.

This can be said to be his opponent's great trust, but in another word, he is very bold.

"To limit the growth of a general is not his talent and ability, but his vision." William continued, "the higher a general's vision, the more things he will see, and the bigger the pattern when making tactical and strategic arrangements. Similarly, the more you see and think of when commanding in the face of war, the faster and more accurate the response will be. "

"You mean that the other commander's vision and pattern are not good?"

"No, just the opposite." William said, "I can now be sure that giving up roves and concentrating our troops to fight against us must be the idea of this man at the moment, not Domingo Even this is the man who took the bait I laid. "

"I'm a little confused." Sean said bluntly, "you will say that his vision is good, and you will say that his misjudgment was fooled by you..."

Cecilia chuckled and added for William: "William means that without a certain vision, he won't find the bait he arranged. But now this person, even if his vision is good, can find clues from some clues, but the pattern he can see is still too small Besides, it was the bait laid by William himself. If he could see through it, wouldn't it say that the other party was as good as William? "

Although we all know that Cecilia's last sentence is actually flattering William, William is very useful.

"Are you interested in this man?" Sean glanced at William.

"If such people can't be used by us, they must be solved as soon as possible." William's voice was very calm, but the killing intention in his tone did not hide at all, "so once the other party is defeated, anyone can escape, that is, this person can't be escaped by him. If you let him escape, as long as you give him enough time to digest after this war, he will be a very difficult enemy in the future. "

"I see." Sean nodded. "Don't worry. As long as I find him, I won't let him escape."

"So what now?"

"Let's go." William still looked calm.

"Go?"

"They just stopped to have a rest, and the formation changed so fast that they must be almost exhausted now." William chuckled, "it's our turn to March quickly at this time. If the other party doesn't want to lose us, he must march to keep up again. Guess who will suffer more physical exertion in the end? "

Hearing William's words, Sean immediately understood.

If people are highly focused, they are not easy to feel tired, but once they feel tired, it means that their physical strength and spirit have almost reached their limit. If you rest at this time, people's physical function will immediately send out various alarms, so it is easy to enter the weak state of deep fatigue. However, if you continue to work that requires large-scale physical consumption without sufficient rest, you will overdraft your physical energy.

Almost without any hesitation, at William's command, when Thain's army changed the formation, Sean's army immediately pulled out again. And this time, he quickly separated from the sight of Thain and others at the speed of marching, but in a short blink, Sean and others almost disappeared from Thain's sight.

Seeing this situation, Thain was just stunned, and then immediately gritted his teeth and chose to pursue.

He did not fail to consider that it might be the other party's ambush, but they had all chased here. If he did not continue to pursue, he would be unwilling. Moreover, once the enemy joined the forces that defeated the second cavalry regiment of dabion, he would have no chance to win. Therefore, considering that there are only more than 2000 people on the other side - now Rena and her cavalry don't know where to go, there are only more than 1000 people left on the other side, and the ratio between the two sides is close to 10:1. If you don't dare to pursue, it will be a shame to spread it.

After seeing tingqi's army choose to pursue, William gently shook his head: "sure enough, his vision is not broad enough." Speaking of this, he said to Sean: "although this man has a good strategy and has a certain vision and judgment, he is too eager for quick success and instant benefit. Successive mistakes have forced him into a desperate situation. Although it can be judged that this man is more cautious from just discovering that Ruina is not visible and immediately turns the offensive into the defensive, this caution is only relative."

"If it were you, what would you do?" Sean was curious.

"It doesn't matter to give up pursuit and shrink the defense line of the whole territory. It doesn't matter to give up lomine, roves and Hastings manor when necessary." William said faintly, "he can choose to give up rovers, which proves that his courage and vision are still good, but it's a pity that he is still reluctant to give up Hastings manor and lomine. Otherwise, he doesn't choose to pursue us, but directly goes back to find Fred's trouble. Then Fred and his thunder lion will really suffer a big loss, We may even withdraw from the battle ahead of time. "

"So cruel?"

"Don't forget that neither geography nor people are on our side." William whispered, "now, it depends on his vision."

Thain doesn't know how William evaluates him, but if he knows, he will be very shocked and won't even choose to pursue William. Because in fact, as William commented, Thain really had no way back. Tingqi's successive defeats, the withdrawal of dabion's second cavalry regiment and Domingo's illness made Thain almost out of breath.

He urgently needs a major victory to appease the hearts of the people and the army. Only in this way can the nugus family not feel that their Hastings are a waste.

So Thain didn't stop pursuing.

The two armies chased and fled, running all the way in the direction of Dayi's leadership along the border between yadby's leadership and tinchiin's leadership.

For the whole four days, Thain did not choose to give up. As long as Sean's army stopped to rest, Thain would order the army to approach, forcing Sean and others to have no rest time. Of course, once it is night, the two armies will still choose to rest with a very tacit understanding. However, usually at dawn, Sean's army will take the lead in setting out. In this way, Thain's army is forced to have the same rest time as Sean and others.

If you don't know the situation, you won't even think that the two armies belong to opposing camps.

At night on the fifth day, William did not let the whole army go on, but chose to rest in place. Since he chose to rest at night the first night and was attacked by Thain's men, William did not choose to rest at night from the next day, but went on his way until late at night to order the army to stop and rest, and then set off immediately before dawn. Although the rest time was greatly reduced, and even hundreds of soldiers fell, But William still didn't make any change.

Until tonight.

William looked at the enemy less than a mile away from his side, and his eyes became very cold: "unfortunately, he has been completely blinded by victory and lost the calm and reason that a commander should have It'll be over tonight. "

On the way day and night for four consecutive days, the whole army has become extremely tired. Coupled with the night attack and non combat attrition on the road, there are less than 1000 people left. Clough's Cecilia guards still suffered heavy losses. After all, this army is the most capable army. It naturally rushed to the front during the battle, so the reduction of personnel is naturally the most tragic.

But at this moment, clough and his Cecilia guard looked extremely excited.

Even the dirty image can't cover up the momentum of this army.

As for another dark wing army, it can't be regarded as an army at the moment. After all, heavy infantry will certainly have a great impact on speed when they escape. Therefore, when they abandoned the barracks that day, dark wings didn't wear their due equipment, but chose to go on the road light. The most serious non combat attrition these days is also this force, but we all know that the dark wing is still too short to be established after all, and the amount of training is far from reaching the standard, but I'm afraid it will change after this battle.

Like William staring at the enemy, Thain was staring at the enemy.

But at the moment, Thain's face was full of beard, his eyes were red, and the whole person looked unusually haggard and tired.

In fact, not only he, but also the whole army under him looks the same. At the moment, there are no more than 10000 people, but only more than 8000 people. Because if we want to talk about the non combat attrition of long-distance attacks, the heaviest loss will definitely not be the dark wings, but Thain's army.

Thain knew that after pursuing for so long, he had cut off his retreat. However, he knows that all this will end tonight, because he has caught up with the enemy less than a mile away. This distance can be said to be no, but both sides have a very tacit understanding and do not choose to fight at this distance.

But Thain knew that he had no time. According to his budget, the army that defeated the second cavalry regiment of dabion had only two days left at most to join Sean's army. So he must annihilate this army with less than a thousand people left tonight. Only in this way can he wash tingqi's humiliation of continuous defeat.

And the way he chose to fight was night attack.

A massive night attack of 8000 against 1000!
