Chapter 890: Confrontation (Part 1)

Unknowingly, the reinforcements from the Holy Hiran Empire arrived under the blocking position established by Deng Jiaer. This was already 3 days ago.

During these three days, Nikita's troops and Deng Jiaer's troops were completely in a state of confrontation.

Nikita's troops were still neatly arrayed in the eastern wilderness of the hill.

Deng Jiaer's troops were still firmly stationed on the hills.

Dengar's troops did not go down the mountain to attack Nikita's camp.

Nikita's troops did not go up the mountain to attack Dengar's position.

The two armies just stared at each other, neither attacking nor retreating.

In the past few days, Nikita was either standing on the watchtower, looking thoughtfully at the distant hills, or staying in the camp and reading the map.

At this time, Nikita was standing on the watchtower as usual, looking at the hills in the distance filled with the flags of the Britannian Army and the flags of the Michael Knights.

Under the watchtower, there were many generals standing.

They were all looking up at Nikita on the tower with helpless eyes.

"What on earth is the commander thinking?" A general couldn't help but sigh, "You won't attack, and you won't retreat either."

As soon as the general finished speaking, another general standing next to him answered.

"The coach should have his own considerations."

"The coach may be thinking of a strategy to easily win this hill."

"After all, you have seen before that this hill covered with fortifications is difficult to deal with."

"We'd better wait quietly now and wait for the coach to come up with a suitable strategy."

"Oh, when will you think of it?"

It's not just the generals of Xilan's army who don't understand what their coach is thinking.

There are also many people in the vanguard of the Britannia Army's Eastern Route Army who don't understand what their coach is thinking.

Because the vanguard force of the Eastern Route Army was not large in size, there were not many knights in the army.

In addition to Deng Jiaer and Samuel, there are only 3 knights, 1 knight of double oak, and 2 knights of new laurel.

At this time, the three knights were gathering together, frowning and discussing their coach.

The only female knight among the three people spoke first.

"What are you thinking, coach? Can you defeat the Xilan people just by staying on this hill?"

The commander she was talking about was naturally referring to Deng Jiaer, who was leading them to be stationed on this hill.

These three knights have been spending these days in confusion and confusion.

First, their coach Deng Jiaer personally went deep into the enemy territory to collect enemy intelligence.

After Deng Jiaer returned, he bluntly announced to all the knights in the vanguard that the regiment leader had personally ordered that the reinforcements from the Holy Hiran Empire would be dealt with by their vanguard.

All the knights in the vanguard, including Samuel, thought Deng Jiaer was joking at first.

But when their commander Su Cheng led the main force of the Eastern Route Army to the gates of Fuka City, they finally realized that neither Su Cheng nor Deng Jiaer were joking with them.

Su Cheng really wants Deng Jiaer to lead a vanguard force of only more than 10,000 people to meet the tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Holy Hiran Empire.

After Su Cheng led the main force to the gates of Fuka City and took over the task of besieging Fuka City, their coach Deng Jiaer decisively led the vanguard troops eastward without saying a word.

It was also when leading the troops to march eastward that Deng Jiaer held a secret meeting with Samuel and secretly revealed her strategy for facing the enemy to Samuel.

In order to prevent the strategy from being leaked, except for Samuel who served as deputy commander, Deng Jiaer did not announce her enemy strategy to other knights in the vanguard.

Therefore, the other three knights in the vanguard force, except Deng Jiaer and Samuel, had no idea what Deng Jiaer's strategy was for facing the enemy.

Because these days were spent in confusion and confusion, these three knights felt very irritable.

Especially since they have been nesting on this hill for the past three days, these three knights have become even more irritable and depressed.

To soothe the mind

Feeling irritated and depressed, these three knights gathered together today to vent their recent dissatisfaction.

This venting meeting went on and on, and turned into a criticizing meeting for Deng Jiaer.

They could still understand Deng Jiaer's reluctance to reveal to them the content of the enemy's strategy.

In order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, it is normal for only a few people in the military to know important tactics and strategies.

What made these three knights dissatisfied was that they couldn't guess what Deng Jiaer planned to do.

Although the generals of their vanguard force are all elites in the army, especially the Delan Immortal Army, all of them are elite soldiers who can fight ten of them one by one, but no matter how elite the generals are, it takes more than 10,000 people to fight the enemy. Tens of thousands of people are still too reluctant.

After all, according to the intelligence returned by the scouts, most of the soldiers in this reinforcement of the Holy Hiran Empire were regular troops of the Central Guards.

If more than 10,000 elite soldiers were used to deal with tens of thousands of peasant troops, then this battle would be easy to say.

But if more than 10,000 people are used to fight tens of thousands of regular troops, then this battle is still too forced no matter how you think about it.

They really couldn't figure out how Deng Jiaer was going to use these more than 10,000 people to fight against the tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Especially after Deng Jiaer led his troops to the hill and ordered the establishment of a defensive position on the hill, they became even more confused.

After the defensive position was built, Deng Jiaer issued a death order to the knights to defend the hill and never go down the hill to attack the Hiran army unless the enemy took the initiative to attack.

They had already racked their brains at this time, and they couldn't figure out what Deng Jiaer was going to do.

The three knights who gathered together to complain became more and more critical of Deng Jiaer.

"What on earth is the commander thinking?"

"Can we defeat the Hiran army by just staying on the hill?"

"Why don't we ask the commander and Samuel what our strategy is?"

"It's impossible for them to tell us. If they could, they would have told us long ago."

"I can't figure out what Deng Jiaer wants to do. Deng Jiaer shouldn't be the commander of the vanguard. How can she command the vanguard?"

"That's right. It's strange to let Deng Jiaer, the youngest and most experienced knight in the Knights of Michael, lead such an important unit."

"If it weren't for her close relationship with the captain, this lucky guy Deng Jiaer wouldn't have the opportunity to lead the vanguard."

The three knights criticized Deng Jiaer more and more.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded not far from them

"I said that it's okay for you guys to say bad things about the commander in private, and no one can stop you, but when you say bad things about others, remember to lower your voice."
