Chapter 525: Small
"Count Oban can arrive tomorrow, then we can fight a counterattack." Alan put down the urgent report, as if he didn't hear the regret in Jora's words before.
Jora glanced at him wryly and said, "Yes, I also discussed with everyone before, and I was going to surprise the unicorn tomorrow." Now that my brother is here, we can do a good job. ”
"Before we fight back, we can do some harassment and destruction. For example, if we capture their shelling positions tonight, tomorrow there will be much less pressure. ”
"It's not easy. After you knocked it out last time, the unicorns are now heavily armed with artillery positions day and night. If you want to attack it all at once, I think it's very difficult. ”
Alan said indifferently: "I didn't say that we would take it down at once, we can divide the army into several squads and take turns attacking and harassing." Let them divert attention, and even transfer troops, and then we will have a chance. ”
"It's a good idea."
"So, let's split up and let the people below prepare."
Alan was about to leave, when suddenly Jora's hand was snatched away. He looked at it in surprise, and Jora's face flushed crimson, but he boldly said, "It's still early, maybe we can find a quiet place and continue what we didn't finish just now." ”
Alan sighed in his heart, that something like that happened suddenly just now was almost uncontrollable. If good things are done just now, that's all. As for now, especially after receiving an urgent report from Oban, Jora's identity has become sensitive again. Aristocrats cherish face, especially an earl like Oban. If Jola is married in the future, and the other party finds out that she is not finished, it will not only bring trouble to Oban, but Jora's life will be even more difficult.
After all, those who can enter the eyes of Obanfa will definitely not be far behind. For his own sake, and for Jora's sake, Alan can't pick this ripe fruit anyway. He could only excuse himself: "Now is not a good time. ”
When Jora heard him say this, her self-esteem was shattered. She is also a strong person, and she smiled reluctantly at the moment: "I think so too, forget it, it's still important to work." ”
She decisively let go of Alan's hand, and Eren glanced at her, nodded and left. After Allen left, the disguise on Jora's face was removed, and she looked at the empty room, and said with a little melancholy: "I missed today, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future......"
A low sigh echoed softly through the chamber.
Alan left the chamber and walked down the cloister around a corner. His heart moved slightly, and a figure flashed in front of him, and someone grabbed him with one hand. Eren stepped sideways, allowing the other to catch the air. Abel used the wrong force and almost fell to the ground, but he steadied himself and glared at Allen.
"Adjutant Abel? Oh no, you're not an adjutant now. What are you doing here, planning to sneak up on me? Alan frowned.
Abel forced over, stood in front of Allen's eyes, and lowered his voice, "What did you do to Miss Jora in the chamber just now?" ”
"I don't know what you mean."
"I don't understand, huh." Abel gritted his teeth and said, "I know what you're paying attention to, I warn you, don't make a move on Miss Jora, she is not something you can touch!" ”
"I really didn't know, it turns out that you still have a penchant for voyeurism." Alan said coldly, "I also warn you, stop interfering in my affairs, especially me and Jora. Even if something happens between us, it's our own private business. I can't touch her, can't you? ”
Abel was stunned by his words, but after a while, Alan surprised Alan and smiled bitterly: "No, I can't touch it either." I have just learned that the Count of Oban intends to marry Miss Jora to the son of the Marquis of Ironspear. That's why I won't let you touch her, because you'll kill Jora!" ”
Alan looked him up and down, even though Abel was entangled with him, but looking at his words, it was from the heart of his love for Jora. He said solemnly: "I can sue you that nothing happened in there just now. This is my first and last explanation. Not for you, but for Jora. ”
Abel nodded and said, "I hope so, Alan." Jora likes you, but the two of you can't be together. Absolutely not. ”
He shook his head, perhaps remembering that he had no hope of falling under Jora's skirt, and the man looked a little lost, and walked away dejectedly.
Alan also felt quite helpless, life is often like this. The person you like may not be able to be together. And reluctantly being together may not be happy. Eren remembered Lucy, who was a hundred times more noble than Jora. Now they were together, only Lucy's toughness, and the emperor's temporary compromise.
Can it be done later?
If the Ofascist Emperor did not hesitate to send a large army and a strong man to bring Lucy back, would he have the ability to protect this relationship? Alan shook his head, his current strength was too small. Too small to stand up to a behemoth like the Ofascists, he thought that what he had achieved during this time was quite good. Now just thinking about the future with Lucy, I feel that I am still far away.
He didn't know how much time he had left, but he couldn't waste a second now. Alan clenched his fists and walked to the barracks with heavy steps.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Tonight, the clouds were thick, blocking the moonlight, and the night was dark, and the heaven and earth acted as a killing atmosphere.
In the unicorn camp, inside the main tent, Hagus called a few officers, made some arrangements, and let them go down. These arrangements were all in preparation for tomorrow's battle, and after Daniel had transferred a third of his troops, most of the officers were in favor of delaying the battle, but Hagus advocated an attack. In the end, his arm could not reach his thigh, and Hagus was the main general. Before Daniel was clearly replaced, the officers did not dare to disobey his orders and went down to prepare.
So there were only two Dark Thunder Knights left in the tent, who had followed Hagus for many years and could be regarded as confidants.
"My lord, our current troops are a little insufficient, and if we still blindly attack the city, I'm afraid we won't get much benefit, right?" One of the knights couldn't help but say.
Hagus glanced at him and smiled, "Believe me, the Deep Sea Scaly must be thinking about a counterattack right now." And the Count of Orban will probably arrive at the battlefield tomorrow. Master Daniel's arrangement couldn't delay him for long, after all, the main force of the unicorns was here. So the two things come together, if we can't take the initiative to attack before Obel arrives. While we still have a certain advantage, we can reduce the enemy's strength to the maximum. When the two armies converge, we will have to retreat. ”
"After all, the Deep Sea Scaly Ji still has a city to rely on, can't we use the temporary camp to defend against the opponent's attack?"
When Hagus said this, he sighed and said, "It's a pity, if Lord Daniel is willing to let go of those things outside of him. Taking advantage of Allen's absence, we are attacking Bauhinia with all our might, and now we may already be drinking in the city. ”
He shook his head, Daniel refused to listen to his advice, let go of the fighter, he had no choice but to adapt to the situation, as for the plan he had made before, it seemed that it no longer worked.
Suddenly there was gunfire outside the tent.
Hagus looked up suddenly, and before he could send the Dark Knight out to see what was happening, a soldier had already run in and said to Hagus, "My lord, I have found the enemy's soldiers and horses." ”
"How many?"
"There are more than 100 strikers, so I don't know how much support there is."
"Where did they attack the barracks?"
"The southeast side of the camp."
Hagus snorted coldly: "They are coming for our supplies, informing the soldiers to fight." But a section of the population should be set aside to protect the war materiel, especially food and water. If we lose them, we'll have a hard time going forward. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and it sounded as if the soldiers on both sides were shooting at each other.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a group of knights of the Deep Sea Scales wrapped their horses' hooves in cloth and launched a sneak attack. Although the unicorns have a bright and dark sentry on the outer ring of the camp, it is too dark tonight to see the bottom. The cavalry came fast again, and by the time the sentry spotted them, the cavalry had already been in disarray like a whirlwind. The last sentinel warned, and the battle ensued.
The cavalry stormed southeast of the unicorn camp and burned down several marching tents before being counterattacked by the unicorn soldiers. The knights of the Deep Sea Scaly Queen are also not in love with war, and after using the advantage of the fire dragon rifle to kill some enemy soldiers in a row, they turn around and retreat, which is worthy of coming up and going like the wind.
Later, Hagus also arrived, and saw that the camp that had been stormed had burned some tents, and that twenty or thirty soldiers had been killed in the battle, and he was quite helpless. The cavalry came as soon as they said they came, and they left as soon as they said. It's hard to leave it behind unless you're prepared. He himself used the same method to attack the redbud a few days ago, and now they are just replying with color. Hagus could only order the camp to be cleaned and at the same time asked for more security.
He had just finished his order, and he didn't have time to give it out. Suddenly the camp in front of him flashed with fire, and a fireball exploded in the camp, and in the firelight, the silhouette of human figures and objects flew up. When the explosion passed, gunfire was heard from the same direction. Hagus finally realized that things were not that simple, and as he thought, the Deep Sea Scalers took turns tonight. Cavalry, fire. Gunners and infantry soldiers entered the field one after another, separating different teams, such as wolves hunting in the night, biting the unicorn and tearing a piece of the unicorn, making it completely impossible to figure out what their tactical purpose was.
At first, the unicorn's army continued to run around, and after a few times, Hagus simply carved out several areas of the camp. Each area is guarded by one team, and unless the enemy fire is heavy in the area being attacked, the other teams are only allowed to stand by. so as not to rush to mobilize and exploit loopholes for the opponent.
In this way, the unicorn soldiers will not get tired of running for their lives, but the sound of gunfire and killing hardly stops. In the end, even though the officer ordered him to rest, the soldier did not dare to sleep at ease, for fear that he would lose his life in his sleep.
Inside the main tent, Hagus's face was dark. Right under his nose, the harassment tactics that had been used for days were repeated. It's just that this time, it was used by the other party on his own army. R1058
