103 Showing the enemy to be weak

When Yell and the other five returned to the large army with dozens of unmanned war horses and two prisoners, the morale of the army suddenly became excited.

During these days, the paladins were still a little bit scared by the scouts of the imperial army. Although the other party did nothing, they were always hung behind the army slowly, which made this group of poor people with little knowledge always feel anxious and finally realized the heavy reality of "I am indeed on the battlefield."

So when they saw and heard that Yaer and other paladins killed and captured the enemies that were twice their size, and they immediately felt a sense of dependence and peace of mind.

The obscure emotions that have been permeated among the military in the past few days have also been wiped out by this sudden "victory".

Raul was also very satisfied with this. So he just scolded Yeel and his fellow vacancies for their resignation, and praised him, "You did a good job, so that the group of scouts would not dare to get too close to us. It would not be so easy to check our military information!" He looked at Yeel's face carefully and suddenly remembered this person, "Oh, it's you!" and couldn't help but joke, "I remember that last time, it was also your first contribution! You are such a lucky guy!"

Raul joked and rewarded the scouts with military merits - a medal made of iron sheets, called "Courage", to reward the soldiers who won the battle for bravery. Regarding this, of course, Katnis proposed to build it according to Feng Feiyang's intention.

Then, someone was asked to take the prisoners down and let the interrogator interrogate them to collect available information.

However, before the interrogator could present the content of the interrogation, Raul became a little amused and crying.

On that night, after most of the scouts returned, everyone suddenly realized that the team that had gained did not seem to be limited to Yell's team.

Nearly one-third of the scouts team had conflicts with the scouts of the Emperor* and won without exception... The war horses and prisoners they brought back were much more than fifty people in a squad.

This situation made Raul feel something wrong, and hurriedly summoned the captains of each scout team and asked them to come to their own camp.

There, Raul first praised them, and then asked with a serious expression: "After the battle, are there any enemy soldiers who escaped?"

The captains shook their heads one after another. They talked about the situation at that time. Most of them encountered each other. They were not much different from the Yerna team. Only the two teams were unlucky. Their opponents left two people to guard the battle. Their reaction was also relatively quick. When they saw something was wrong, they rode their horses and ran wildly.

However, their speed was still not as good as that of the Paladins in the land with the blessing of "courage" and "strength" and "suffering". After chasing for several miles, they were still captured.

But there is nothing to be said about this. Even the two captains laughed at themselves with a little frustration: "We have to pursue the time we spend a lot more than fighting!"

Raul then breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the scout team won. Although it can improve the affairs of the army, if there are too many, there will be some side effects.

For example: If the other party loses only one place, two teams of scouts. The enemy commander may attribute this matter to his own inappropriateness. The other party conspires to trap. He will naturally be more careful in his future. However, he will not have too much suspicion.

But what is being lost now is many scouts. If you rely solely on conspiracy, it will be somewhat unexplainable. Are those who can serve as scouts a brave and clever warriors? Then, how stupid they have to go into the trap at the same time?

Therefore, as long as the IQ of the opponent's commander is still within the scope of a normal person, we can infer the conclusion that "the opponent's scout is very strong" and "we are not as good as theirs when fighting alone"...

And these are all things that Raul wants to hide now.

During this northern expedition, he deliberately limited the number of his own troops. Even if he included the army, his number was only half of the troops he had forced to recruit.

The purpose of his doing this was to not force the king into the back of the thick wall of the king's capital. He wanted to use the number of people to make the king careless and let the Majesty take the initiative to fight against him in the wild.

Then, defeat the opponent in one fell swoop and achieve a decisive victory in one battle!

Raul, who has a strong confidence in the strength of the paladins, firmly believes that he can do this and is planning it.

But so many victories today have slightly disrupted the layout. Once the Majesty is alert and hides, he will have to fight the siege...

Although Lilim, who had not arrived, had assured him: "With the help of our wizards, you can take those walls as nothing." He did not dare to take it lightly - after all, the longer the battle delay, the more variables may occur.

Although he had some strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of the paladins, he also knew that the "lifeline" logistics supply on which the army relied for survival had been too long.

If it takes too long, there will inevitably be danger of being cut off. And as Raul said to Katniss, "war is just a continuation of politics" - if they were unable to capture the capital of cornflowers in front, the lords in the rear, and the kings of other countries might become ready to move.

So now, Raul needs to come up with a countermeasure to stop such a possible situation from happening.

He pondered for a while, then raised his head and ordered the captains of the scout team, "In the next few days, no matter what provocative behavior the scout team of the other side will be, you are not allowed to respond! Even if the scout comes, you will pretend to be defeated after a brief battle."

Raul's request actually did not conform to the so-called "chival spirit", but the captains present also knew that what soldiers needed most was obedience, so after hesitating, he still responded depressedly.

When Raul noticed their unhappiness, he explained with a smile, and the captains immediately became excited again. At this time, Raul asked again, "In the previous few days, which teams were the ones who had the most contact with the enemy scouts?"

Yell and the other two captains immediately stood up. Raul looked at them and then ordered Simon, the adjutant beside him, "Change the personnel of their three teams. If there are obvious characteristics in their team, please replace them first." He sighed and said to Yell and the other three, "You guys will also put some bandages on themselves in the past few days and pretend to be injured."

Yell and others replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Raul nodded with satisfaction and told them to disband and return to the team. Then, Raul still did not relax. He was busy in the tent, asking Simon to select some riding servants from the army that could be considered a decent horseman, and gave them the honor of holding a knight's sword in the army, so they were also organized into the scouts.

Then, in the following days, these teams of scouts were placed in positions that were easy to contact with enemy scouts.

There will be another chapter later in the early morning.

Then I sighed and thought about it with a humility - if my recommendation could be as good as clicks and not as the number of words...
