Chapter 902 Deng Jiaer's Sudden Retreat

Because there were too few soldiers and horses at hand, Nikita could only restrain his hands and feet when commanding, and did not dare to let go of his hands and feet to carry out a large-scale attack.

Nikita currently has only 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 are new recruits without much combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness can be said to be seriously insufficient.

In order to increase the chance of winning, Nikita could only stay here to confront the Britannia army while waiting for the subsequently mobilized troops to arrive at the front line.

If the refueling tactic had been abandoned from the beginning, all mobilizable troops had been mobilized from the beginning, and Nikita could have commanded all the troops and horses at one go to rush to the west, then he would not have to fall into the current situation of "waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops" "The dilemma.

However, Nikita only dared to complain in her heart.

After all, this fueling tactic was a tactic that his emperor came up with and insisted on implementing.

As a minister, it was inconvenient for him to loudly criticize the tactics that Emperor Vasili came up with and demanded to be implemented.

…

…

While Nikita continued to inspect the defense situation of the camp——

On the hill, the vanguard troops of the Eastern Route Army are in position.

Just now, Deng Jiaer suddenly issued an emergency summons, summoning all the knights in the vanguard to come to the formation to discuss matters.

The vanguard, including Deng Jiaer and Samuel, had only 5 knights in total.

Because they were few in number, all the knights quickly arrived at the formation.

Since he was stationed on this hill, Deng Jiaer has never issued a summons order to summon all the knights to the formation.

So after arriving at the formation, the other three knights except Samuel all cast doubtful glances at Deng Jiaer.

The three knights all looked at Deng Jiaer and asked - Coach, what are you doing to us all of a sudden?

And Deng Jiaer did not let their doubts last too long. After seeing everyone gathered, Deng Jiaer directly said loudly to the people in front of him:

"Everyone, the reason why I summoned you is because I have a new order to give you."

"Order?" The eyes of the only female knight in the formation besides Deng Jiaer shone, "Are we finally going to take action?! Are we going to rush down the mountain and fight to the death with the Xilan people?"

As soon as the female knight finished speaking, the other two knights also looked at Deng Jiale with excited eyes.

They have been nesting on this hill these days, executing weird strategies without knowing the specific content, which has long made the three of them feel extremely aggrieved.

Only Samuel kept a calm expression, as if he understood what Deng Jiaer was going to say next.

"No."

Deng Jiaer shook his head.

"My new order is not to attack Hiran's army."

"Huh?"*3

Except for Samuel, the other three knights said "Oh" in unison.

"From now on, evacuate this hill as quickly as possible."

In a calm tone, Deng Jiaer said words that made the three knights stunned.

"We retreat northwest."

“We will stop when we retreat to a place where Hiran’s army can feel at ease.

"

…

…

After finishing his inspection of the camp, Nikita returned to his tent.

However, when he had just returned to the big tent, before he could sit down and take a breath, a general who was responsible for supervising the patrols outside the camp hurriedly broke into Nikita's big tent.

"Coach! There's a situation!"

After hearing the words "there is a situation", Nikita seemed to have a conditioned reflex. He straightened up his body, which he had planned to bend down and sit on the chair, and asked the general in a deep voice:

"what's the situation?"

"The Britannia army on the mountain, the hill suddenly began to retreat!"

"What?!"

After Nikita exclaimed in surprise, he rushed out of the big tent and walked quickly towards a watchtower set up in the formation.

Climbing up the lookout tower, Nikita saw that the flags of the Britannia Army and the regimental flags of the Michael Knights on the hill were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flags were pulled down one by one, and the hills were crowded with people, as if they were really retreating.

"Why did you withdraw so suddenly..." Nikita murmured as he stared at what was happening in front of him in stunned silence.

Nikita thought for a long time, and the only possibility he could think of was that the Britannia army on the hill had insufficient supplies and was forced to retreat.

Regardless of the reason why the Britannian army on the hill retreated, Nikita now had no extra time to think about the reason why they retreated.

Nikita quickly sent a large number of scouts to secretly follow the Britannia army that suddenly retreated from the hills and monitor their movements.

After being monitored by the scouts, the Britannia army on the hill really retreated.

They retreated very thoroughly. Not only did they move all the baggage on the hill, but they also did not forget to demolish all the fortifications originally used to defend Hiran's army.

After leaving the hill, the Britannia army retreated all the way to the northwest.

The Britannia army retreated a full 60 miles to the northwest before stopping.

Although Nikita still does not understand why the Britannian army retreated, it is an indisputable fact that the entire Britannian army on the hill has really retreated.

They won the confrontation with the Britannia army with almost no losses.

The generals and soldiers were all excited, and many of them were sincerely excited that this boring confrontation had finally ended.

After confirming that the Britannia Army had indeed retreated 60 miles to the northwest, Nikita began to mobilize his troops.

His troops were originally stationed in the east of the hill, and Nikita now changed the station of the troops from the east of the hill to the west of the hill.

Nikita originally wanted to station part of the troops in the hill where the Britannia Army had previously stayed, but considering that if he did so, it would be difficult to transport supplies to the troops on the hill, and it would consume a lot of unnecessary effort, so Nikita gave up this idea and stationed all the troops in the west of the hill, with their backs against the hill.
