Impolita clung to Patisipachio and whispered in his ear: "Governor, it is not difficult to defeat the Mercian Field Army. However, the Earl of Île-de-France did not come, so the Alemannic Allied Army was leaderless. . Even just a little bit - do you want to take more control over it?"
"Oh?" Patisipaccio asked, "Do you have any idea?"
"According to my guess, the Mercian Field Army only retreated a few miles this time and did not completely retreat. The Governor can send someone to investigate the situation first and then make a plan."
The news brought back by the scouts quickly confirmed Yin Bolita's words: the army of the Seven Hills Empire was camping three miles away.
"Since they have not completely withdrawn, they still have the intention to attack us." Yin Polita smiled slightly and continued, "With so many lords, the Alemannic coalition forces may have quarreled over command authority on their way here. .Why don’t you, Lord Governor, take advantage of the moment and make an agreement with the coalition forces outside the city? Whoever takes off the head of the general of the Mercian Field Army first will be the commander-in-chief of the next military operation against the Seven Hills Empire?"
Giovanni shook his head at the side: "It is inevitable that there will be a quarrel. But the plan you mentioned... Our island republic's army does not have many people, and reinforcements from the Alemannic Federation are arriving in a steady stream. Wait until tomorrow, I am afraid that no less than 60,000 people can gather outside the city. Is it a bit risky to make this agreement? I have another plan to allocate command power..."
"Giovanni, you are good at diplomacy, but you know nothing about military affairs."
Impolita laughed at Giovanni, then left Patisipaccio's body, straightened her clothes, and knelt in front of Patisipaccio with a rare serious expression.
"Governor, can you give me an army? It doesn't need too many, a thousand people are enough. I can take the head of the enemy general tonight."
"Impolita, do you want to command the army?" Patisipachio frowned and pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, letting a woman lead the army cannot convince the public. You are also a slave - even if you don't mention this , your current status is not enough to directly become a general."
Yin Polita lowered his head silently. No one could see the expression on her face now.
Just listen to Patisipachio continue to say: "Since it is a battle to establish prestige, of course I have to command it myself. Yinpolita, just be a guard by my side. What is your plan? Tell me now Bar."
After a period of silence, Yin Bolita raised his head with a smile on his face and replied: "I think the enemy will definitely launch a night attack tonight."
Late at night. The wind blew the grass, making a swishing sound. A bright moonlight hung in the sky, faintly illuminating the soldiers crawling on the grass.
In accordance with Dabisa's plan, the Mercian Field Army took advantage of the darkness and quietly approached the Alemanni coalition camp stationed outside the city. Dabisha was riding a war horse, standing on a high slope and looking out.
"There is no defense! The general is really wise. The enemy is tired from afar and has not established a stable footing. Seeing our army retreating, he is even more cautious. At this time, the night attack will definitely defeat the enemy!" The adjutant said confidently next to Dabisha, "General , quickly give us the order to attack!"
"What do you need to say?" Dabisha waved his hand proudly, "Attack!"
Countless torches were lit in the night, and thousands of cavalry rushed into the enemy camp. Tens of thousands of infantrymen shouted, and the cavalry followed behind to cover up the killing.
"We're coming too!" Dabisha waved his hand to the general's guards behind him to charge with him. But before running a few steps, Dabisha was so frightened that he stopped his sitting horse again - under the light of the torch, the enemy camp suddenly became much brighter, allowing him to see clearly from the high slope. Full picture: "During the day, I saw that the number of enemy troops was only about 20,000. Why is it that the size of the camp now seems to be able to accommodate more than 50,000 people? While we were retreating, the enemy came with reinforcements?"
His adjutant looked very happy: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Fifty thousand people, the number is already twice that of our army. Our army defeated the large with the small, and the weak defeated the strong. As word spread, the general's reputation You can overpower Berengar!"
"What a damn famous general! What's more important, reputation or life?" Dabisha cursed, "The enemy's army is twice as big as mine, how can we fight this battle? Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"But general, we are attacking at night now, so we have an advantage..."
"You have the advantage of your size! There are barbarians on the opposite side. What if you are more energetic after midnight? Leave some people to guard against the enemy's pursuit, and everyone else, retreat!"
——Dabisha didn’t know that two troops of Patisipachio were ambushed on both sides of the camp. As long as he rushes forward three arrows further, he will immediately fall into the encirclement net of the Island Republic.
In the eyes of the island republic's ambush soldiers, it was that the generals of the Qiqiu Empire had just turned around and ran away in the middle of the charge.
"You didn't actually enter an ambush?" Patisipaccio, who was ambushing on one side of the camp, frowned. "Yinpolita, can you explain what's going on?"
"Actually ran away?" Yin Bolita looked at Dabisha's butt and was so shocked: "Even if we have more people, Dabisha is a famous general in the Seven Hills Empire, why don't we even dare to attack at night?"
Most of the people from the Qiqiu Empire who had rushed into the camp were cavalry. When they heard the clarion call to retreat, they tore apart the loose defense line and ran back before the island republic's ambush formed an effective encirclement. A commotion woke up the sleeping Alemanni coalition. They hurriedly grabbed their weapons and threw them out of the camp, only to find that there were very few enemy troops trapped in the camp. Several impatient lords immediately brought their cavalry with them and chased the retreating central troops of the Qiqiu Empire to kill them.
"No matter, let's catch up!"
Patisipachio waved his hand to direct the army to charge, but Impolita quickly stopped him.
"Governor, no matter what, Dabisha is a famous general in the Seven Hills Empire. If we catch up like this, I'm afraid he will ambush you!"
"I have sent people to tell the chiefs that whoever takes off the enemy general's head first will be the leader! They have caught up with us, how can we still stay here?"
Patisipaccio was furious and kicked Impolita.
"This is the plan you came up with yourself. Since you told me not to chase him, then chase him alone and get the enemy general's head back to me!"
"It's no problem for me to catch up by myself." Yinpolita knelt in front of Patisipachio again, "But if I can successfully retrieve the enemy general's head, as a reward, will the Governor allow me to lead the army?" An army.?”
"Stop dawdling here! If you want a reward, get the things back first!" Patisipachio kicked Yinpolita again, "Everyone in the Alemannic Federation has run away!"
"As you command, Lord Governor."
Impolita changed from her humble attitude in front of Patisipachio, and mounted a war horse majestically, and then the Pegasus chased the retreating Mercian field army.
