Chapter 889: The Confrontation Between Deng Jiaer and Nikita (Part 2)

Nikita had just asked the scout to leave when another person came to Nikita.

The new person who came to Nikita was a general who was highly regarded by Nikita.

The general just climbed up to the watchtower where Nikita was and said to Nikita:

"Commander, it is not a good idea to keep staring at the Britannians like this."

"Why don't we launch a tentative attack first?"

They arrived at the foot of the hill yesterday afternoon.

After arriving at the foot of the hill, the Britannian army stationed on the hill has not made any movement.

There was no extra movement, and no one came down the hill to attack them who came from afar.

If Nikita had not seen the crowds on the hill, he would have doubted whether there was no one on the hill.

The proposal made by the general was not unfeasible.

After thinking for a while, Nikita nodded slowly.

"...Well, okay."

"It's really not a good idea to just keep staring at each other."

"Send out 2,000 men to launch a tentative attack first."

After that, Nikita turned sideways and said to the general who proposed the tentative attack:

"You will be in charge of the 2,000 men responsible for launching the tentative attack. Try to fight beautifully."

"Yes!"

...

...

Amid the urging horn, the 2,000 soldiers responsible for the tentative attack began to take small steps and gradually speed up. The clanging sound gradually rose, and a dignified murderous aura came over them.

Just as they approached a certain range, the hill that had been silent before also sounded a shrill horn.

In addition to the shrill horn, Nikita also heard the sound of military drums from the horns that were louder than the others.

Under the urging and command of these sounds, the hill "moved".

The flag moved.

The long spears pointed at the sky began to move.

Before the 2,000 soldiers responsible for the exploratory attack rushed to the foot of the mountain, the Britannia Army on the hill was ready to fight.

Although there are many mountain roads to go up the mountain, there are a large number of fortifications on each mountain road.

From wooden fences to various traps, there are all kinds of fortifications on each mountain road.

The difficulty of conquering this hill full of fortifications can be said to be no less than conquering a small fortress.

With the help of fortifications, the soldiers of the Britannia Army attacked the Hiran Army below.

From the beginning of the war to now, the Hiran Army has left hundreds of corpses, and the casualties of the Britannia Army are only about 30 or 40 people.

After rushing up regardless of casualties and destroying several fortifications on certain mountain roads, the Hiran Army responsible for the exploratory attack could no longer attack.

This huge casualties has caused the morale of this unit to be extremely low and on the verge of collapse.

Nikita has been paying attention to the development of the battlefield. After noticing that the unit responsible for the tentative attack was about to collapse, he hurriedly waved the flag and asked the unit to withdraw quickly.

After receiving the order to retreat, the unit also left behind hundreds of corpses and hurriedly withdrew as if they had been pardoned.

Through this wave of tentative attacks just now, Nikita roughly grasped the combat effectiveness of the defenders of this hill.

"It's not easy to deal with..." Nikita murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

The originally relaxed brows frowned again.

The combat effectiveness of the defenders on the hill - or the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army - far exceeded Nikita's imagination.

And the ability of the commander-in-chief of this unit - Deng Jiaer, also exceeded Nikita's expectations.

After confirming that the commander-in-chief of the vanguard had not been replaced and was still Deng Jiaer, Nikita was still very happy.

Because this means that this battle will be a duel between him and the 18-year-old girl.

Nikita admitted that in terms of ability, he was indeed not as good as Su Cheng.

Although he had never fought against Su Cheng, he could tell how big the gap between him and Su Cheng was just from Su Cheng's previous record.

If Nikita was given the battles that Su Cheng had won before, Nikita would not guarantee that he could win, and even if he could win, he would not guarantee that he could win more beautifully than Su Cheng.

Although Nikita admitted that he was not as good as Su Cheng, he did not admit that he was weaker than the other knights of the Knights of Michael.

Whether it was Willy, Raymond, or Samuel, Nikita did not think that he would be worse than them in terms of ability.

This was the confidence brought to him by decades of military service and the title of "Marshal".

Even Willy and Raymond, who were quite famous knights, were not taken seriously by Nikita, let alone Deng Jiaer, a little girl who was still unknown.

Nikita did not think that he would lose to a little girl who was only old enough to be his granddaughter.

However, after the tentative attack just now, Nikita found that he seemed to have underestimated this little girl.

The position construction of this hill is perfect, and it perfectly utilizes the terrain and topography of this hill. If you attack this hill by force, you will inevitably suffer extremely heavy casualties.

It is still unknown who chose the location of this blocking position.

If Deng Jiaer chose this hill and decided to build a blocking position on this hill, then this Deng Jiaer is really capable.

If someone with less ability were to change to him, he might not be able to see the great value of this hill.

When he thought of this, Nikita felt a little cold sweat on his forehead.

He felt that his opponent this time was not a simple person who could be easily defeated.

The mood that had originally become a little relaxed after learning that Su Cheng was still outside the city of Fuka became heavy again.

"... Deng Jiaer... Don't underestimate her..."

Nikita muttered to himself in a low voice as if to warn himself.

……

……

While Nikita was standing on a distant hill on the watchtower, Deng Jiaer was also standing on a high slope of the hill, looking at the camp of the Xilan army in the distance.

After seeing the retreat of the Xilan army with a total strength of about 2,000 people, Deng Jiaer nodded with satisfaction.

Deng Jiaer could see that the Xilan army that had just attacked them was only responsible for a tentative attack, and the purpose was just to test their combat effectiveness.

Deng Jiaer spent a lot of effort on the construction of the position on this hill.

When he went deep into the enemy territory and gathered intelligence on the enemy, Deng Jiaer accidentally discovered this hill halfway.

The first time he saw this hill, Deng Jiaer was deeply attracted by it.

She saw the huge strategic value of this hill.

It was after seeing this hill that Deng Jiaer's strategy to meet the enemy gradually took shape.

Establishing a position on this hill and blocking the Xilan army - this is a very important step in Deng Jiaer's strategy to meet the enemy.

After seeing the Xilan army responsible for the tentative attack retreat to their camp, Deng Jiaer said to a messenger waiting beside him:

"Help me pass the message to the knights - continue to defend their respective areas of responsibility."

"Unless the Xilan army takes the initiative to attack, we will never take the initiative to go down the mountain to attack."

"Yes!"
