Chapter 454: Intensity

Looking back at Kaimen City, the Tandelong Demon Kingdom Army that has appeared in the reconnaissance radius is not the defeated army of the Subia Demon Kingdom Army. During the months when Viola was dormant in Leon's territory, they kept attacking cities and conquering territories. They were in high spirits and well-equipped. All the soldiers were professional soldiers, and there were almost no conscripts. Although the number of people was not large, they were a truly strong army.

In addition to hard power, their minds were not confused.

Kaimen City is located in the valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The transportation and terrain have created this crossroads-like city.

The Tandelong Demon Kingdom Army did not approach, but camped outside the valley and began to build a simple defense line, which looked like they were planning to fight a protracted war.

They did not despise Viola, knowing that they could not attack rashly. This strategic level of emphasis was exactly the opposite of the initial contempt of the Subia Demon Kingdom Army.

Obviously, the Tandelong Demon Kingdom Army was waiting for the opportunity and waiting for reinforcements from other demon kingdoms.

Logically, the first army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom should be eliminated at this time, but Viola did not dare to attack rashly. The number of the Tandron Demon Kingdom army was small only in relative terms. If compared with Viola's army, the number was still about three times that of Viola.

A whole day passed, and the two sides did not really fight. At this time, the scouts in a group of several people could no longer guarantee safety. Basically, they were powerful reconnaissance teams composed of dozens or hundreds of cavalry, and occasionally some small-scale battles would break out.

This battle was destined to be not easy, and both sides were now on edge.

In this way, until sunset, the cold moonlight rose from the east.

In the camp of the Tandron Demon Kingdom army, the soldiers who had been on the road continuously had rested, and of course, they also arranged night sentries and troops that could be mobilized at any time to prevent Viola from sending people to attack.

"Report! Traces of enemy cavalry were found two kilometers away from our army!"

The report of the messenger made the general in charge of night watch feel depressed. Sure enough, they came.

Although the city defense war can take advantage of the city walls and defensive offensives, with fewer soldiers resisting a much larger army, but in fact, the city defense itself is a disadvantage.

As long as there are enough soldiers and supplies, the attacker can launch countless attacks, no matter how many times they fail, as long as there is one success.

But the defender can win countless times, but as long as they fail once, there will be no more.

This is a problem of tolerance.

Therefore, compared with fixed income, taking the opportunity to go out and defeat the enemy's living forces is a necessary measure. Even if the killing effect is not obvious, it can also interfere with the enemy's morale.

Although it is not in line with the spirit of chivalry, it is indeed one of the few options for the side with fewer people.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom had anticipated a night attack. After receiving the news, they immediately mobilized the reserve team. A group of thousands of cavalry left the barracks and headed straight to the place where the enemy's traces were found.

Everyone thought there would be a fierce night battle, but when they arrived at the place, only a string of horse hoof prints were left at the scene.

From a distance, you can see the cavalry holding Princess Viola's flag retreating, and they don't forget to shoot a few arrows to show their affection.

But those arrows can't reach the Tandelong Demon Kingdom army at all, and basically all of them hit the ground.

It feels like they found that the Tandelong Demon Kingdom army came to catch them, so Viola's cavalry retreated in fear.

What the hell?

Is the morale of Princess Viola's army so low?

In the middle of the night, although the moonlight is bright, it will severely limit the vision. In this case, it is difficult to judge the specific number of enemies and us. Generally, they will fight and run away without even seeing each other. It feels like the morale is not good, and it is enough to shoot a few arrows to justify the salary.

The enemy's sudden escape operation made the general of the Tandelong Demon Kingdom army unable to deal with it. It stands to reason that an army that dares not even fight the enemy, how can it defeat the Subia Demon Kingdom Army?

Or...

Is this a strategy to lure the enemy deep?

While thinking about these, suddenly, everyone heard a noise of gongs and drums, accompanied by fireworks that appeared in the night.

The direction was exactly opposite to the current place, located on the right side of the Tandron Demon Kingdom Army camp.

Even if it was really a lure away from the mountain, the Tandron Demon Kingdom Army was not afraid, after all, not all the reserve troops were brought out at once, and there were still people watching in the camp.

However, when the general who was out led the team back and rushed to the source of the sound, they could only see a string of horse hoof prints, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning gunpowder. Apart from that, nothing was caught.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and the general already had a bad premonition at this time.

After searching the area and confirming that no enemy troops were approaching, the general led his troops back to the camp. As soon as he sat down in the tent, he saw the messenger running in again:

"Report! Enemy traces were found three kilometers away from our army, and the number is unknown."

There was no choice. The general who had just returned immediately asked his men to mount their horses, but the result was the same as the previous two times, and not even a hair was caught.

What the hell is Princess Viola doing?

The general, who was already a little annoyed, felt that this matter might not be over yet.

As expected, as soon as he sat down, he heard a clanging sound outside the military camp, and the sound of drums and trumpets was like a concert, shaking the water in the cup slightly.

However, just like the previous times, when he led his men out, Viola's army had already run away.

"Expand the alert range for me! Don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes!"

The order was indeed correct, but how effective was it in execution...

Less than an hour after the peace, the gongs and drums and firecrackers started to sound outside the military camp again. The general, whose head had just touched the pillow, was so angry that he screamed, but you had to ignore it and lead the troops to attack again.

Needless to say, the result was the same as the previous times. Nothing happened. As soon as Viola's army saw the soldiers of the Tandron Demon Kingdom coming out, they ran away. They ran so fast that they disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

And every time the Tandron Demon Kingdom army left, they would come back again. No one could stand it after a few repeated tossings.

Don't forget that this army has marched all the way here. They are exhausted and can't sleep well in the middle of the night. Who can bear this?

The strategy of tiring the soldiers is a simple, effective and easy-to-use strategy.

In fact, fighting in this world is quite martial. For example, if the disadvantaged party proposes a duel between knights, the other party will most likely agree to show their bravery.

However, war is a game of deception. Viola and her guards, who had been opened to a new world by Sun Tzu's Art of War, had long discovered that they were too rigid before.

In a life-and-death battle, one should use every possible means. To be precise, the previous way of fighting was too naive.

So, this time, they gave the Tandron Demon Kingdom army a solid boost.
