With Assal promoted to commander-in-chief of the Northwest Continent Army under Leo's authority, and when Rio left surrounded by a hundred knights, Assal also began to rearrange his strategy for land warfare with the Northwest Continent.

In the ranks of the commanders of the empire on which the sun never sets, each commander and each general has their own set of command guidelines, such as Leo's, who plays in a decent manner, and is good at wiping out the opponent's patience in the battle between himself and the enemy before launching a counterattack; George, for example, was a keen desire to use factors outside the battlefield to achieve victory, and often relied on his conclusions about the changes in events on the battlefield to determine his next steps.

Compared to Leo or George, Assal's is more straight, because his own credo is that the best defense is offense. This can be seen from the fact that after Asal became commander-in-chief, he immediately vetoed Leo's plan to gradually disarm the coastal cities in the occupied areas of the Western Continent, and instead formulated a bolder plan: Asal expected that the fleeing Atlantan army would definitely spread the news of the defeat of the siege of Philadelphia and the appearance of reinforcements from the sunset to the Atlantan army besieging Atlantis, and he was now betting, Bet that those Atlantans will reassemble a new army to besiege Philadelphia again because of Atlantis as the tooth and Philadelphia as the throat.

In Assar's opinion, why did he have to let the nearly 50,000 defenders who were guarding Philadelphia have to react after Philadelphia was surrounded, except for the 10,000 siege-type mixed legions he brought back? How good it would be to ambush it in other places now, anyway, the logistics supply lines and supply forces on the Atlanta side have been either destroyed or scared away by the attacking mixed army led and commanded by himself, as long as you understand the path that the support army is taking, you don't need to be careful that Philadelphia will be attacked in the absence of troops.

Therefore, after Asal ordered the soldiers of the sun to set and the soldiers of Xiyi in the city to rest in Philadelphia for a few days, he gathered all the 50,000 people, selected about 40,000 troops who could continue to participate in the battle, took away the only remaining arrows, javelins, asphalt clay pots, etc. in Philadelphia, and left about 5,000 soldiers who could not participate in the battle for the time being to defend the city, and then let the 40,000 soldiers move out of the city in the direction of Atlantis City.

At the same time, the 10,000 elite infantry who had helped the Sunset side break the deadlock and scared back nearly 100,000 Atlanta miscellaneous soldiers in the Battle of Philadelphia did not participate in the ambush mission, but they also left Philadelphia at the same time as the ambush troops left the city, and their target was a fortress called Haichao Fort, which was closest to Philadelphia and surrounded by the Atlantan side.

Assal's dispatch is called bold and dangerous victory, and it is arrogant to say that it is unpleasant, but it is undeniable that even if there are only so many soldiers on the side where the sun never sets, under the many factors that its sophisticated war equipment and strong intelligence network allow it to know the movements of the Atlantan side at the first time, and the Atlantan side is almost full of miscellaneous soldiers and militias, and even Atlantan farmers with farming tools in hand. It is not impossible for the sun to defeat the army that came back from Atlantis to retake Philadelphia, especially when Asal learned that the opposing generals were either confused or something, and actually sent those 100,000 Atlantan troops who had left a shadow in the defense of Philadelphia to attack the city, he was already convinced that the winner of this ambush battle was definitely the side on which the sun never set, and even after the worst of the day, this ambush battle could turn into a war of annihilation.

"It's finished." Inserting the sword in his hand into the Atlantic militia who had fallen to the ground in front of him and was still not dead, Asal gripped the bloodstained battle report in his hand with a smile on his face. The report of the battle was nothing but an urgent report on the current state of the 40,000 soldiers who had come out in Philadelphia: about 13 hours earlier, 40,000 soldiers had ambushed the 100,000 Atlanta troops that were about to go to Philadelphia on the road between Philadelphia and Atlantis.

For reasons of not being able to maintain its strength, the sun did not choose to launch a surprise attack on the flanks of the 100,000-strong army during its attack, but after nearly letting its large army pass, it attacked the tail of the Atlantan side, using asphalt clay pots to burn the large amount of baggage that the 100,000-strong army was currently carrying.

Although at the beginning of the battle, the Atlantan soldiers who were angry because of the loss of their baggage launched a crazy counterattack against the soldiers who never set, but after the counterattack was ineffective, the current situation made the morale of the Atlanta soldiers present worse and worse, and the stalemate battle made the Atlantan soldiers lose the patience to continue fighting, so the battle almost took more than half a day, and it ended with the re-collapse of the Atlanta's miscellaneous troops.

According to the news transmitted in the war report, until now, the soldiers of the sun have captured nearly 30,000 Atlanta soldiers and captured several thousand, but in fact, the maximum number of Atlantan soldiers who are really killed in this battle will not exceed 20,000, and most of the remaining 10,000 Atlantan soldiers died in the rout and trampled on their own people, as for those prisoners, needless to say.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, thank you for lifting the siege of Haichao Castle." Just as Asal was considering what to do with the impact of the more than 60,000 defeated troops next, a Xiyi officer dressed in an old-fashioned samurai armor strode up to him and respectfully asked. The Sunset Military has a War Eagle Herald, so this Xiyi officer is not much surprised that he has now learned that Asal has been promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Sunset West Continent Army, as for whether he will oppose Assar to take this position, not to mention that the Xiyi soldier regiment that participated in the battle to defend the city belongs to the Marine Corps of the Navy, and it belongs to the jurisdiction of Admiral Oda Nobunaga and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Sunset West Continent Soli. Just his recent record of war in the Western Continent (referring to his record of leading 13,000 Sunset Attack Fighters in the Outer Land Region of the Western Continent) is already capable of making him this position.

"So, the problem of the siege of Haichao Castle has been solved, right?" Looking at the scorched earth beside him, the Xiyi soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and Asal breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the next thing will be handed over to you to be responsible, I will leave first and move on to the next battlefield, herald!" Tell the whole army ........."

Before Asal could finish his words, the Xiyi officer suddenly asked him respectfully, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, have you decided to rush along the coastline to the nearest Haichao City?" After receiving Asar's puzzled nod, Commander Xiyi continued: "Then Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, why don't you let the soldiers try to take our Xiyi transport warship? ”
