The supreme commander's change in demeanor and his praise undoubtedly inspired the officers who were traveling with him.

Although the enemy has already rushed to the Macedonian military factory, which is certainly bad news, reinforcements are already on the way. So as long as the Macedonian military factory can be defended, the next battle will have a clear chance of victory.

But at this time, Dingle had restrained the joy that he had inadvertently revealed. The war was not over yet, and he did not want to be happy too early. He had experienced a sudden defeat in Port Brulo before, and this time, he did not want to step into a trap set by the enemy that was difficult to escape and fail again.

So, he moistened his throat and continued:

"At least there is no problem with the arrangements we have made so far. However, no matter how perfect our tactics are, the Yan Army is still an uncontrollable factor. They will definitely have corresponding countermeasures."

"Now that they have noticed that we have troops in the rear, they will definitely make the next move in a very short time."

After saying this, Lieutenant General Hopkins coughed lightly and said:

"If they are confident in their own military strength, they should quickly attack the Macedonian military factory and seize it as soon as possible to use it as a position to prevent our attack, right?"

Harbo continued, "This... should be unlikely. No matter how many troops there are, the Macedonian Military Factory will not fall in a short time. It is already a position. The Yan soldiers know that their retreat is cut off, so they will not dare to continue attacking the Macedonian Military Factory."

"They should try their best to mobilize the troops stationed in Port Foster to deal with Klein's army."

Dingle said in a deep voice:

"Lieutenant General Harbaugh is right."

"If they break through Klein's defenses and report back, then..."

At this point, his face darkened and he said, "Klein's army will be in a very bad situation."

"They will be attacked from front and back."

After these words came out, the cavalry captain who came to report the news had a stiff face, but still said: "We have deployed defenses as much as possible. General Klein has issued a death order. We will guard against it strictly and will never let the Yan people go back to report the news."

Dinger looked at him deeply and said comfortingly:

“Just do it.”

"A battle will bring all kinds of unexpected situations. We just need to do our best."

"Don't think too much now. Just follow your route. We should speed up our march and race against time. The sooner we meet up with Klein, the greater our chances of winning."

"And if something unexpected happens... we can change our tactics on the spot."

"But no matter what, we are definitely not the passive party this time!"

-

But it was just after five o'clock and the sky was already dark.

The light and heat of the day faded quickly, and as soon as the sun set, the cold immediately took over everything.

Countless torches have been lit in the stationed and deployed Klein army, and even in uninhabited areas, fires have been lit.

The fire brought warmth, but Klein's face was unusually cold.

"I never thought that there would be a day when we would need to bluff." Riegl beside him laughed at himself.

The purpose of lighting torches in the camp was not just to bring warmth, but more importantly, they needed to create the appearance that there was a large army stationed there.

Having a "huge army" here can pose an invisible threat to the enemy and also provide a layer of "protective shell" for the real army of one's own.

Facing Riegl's self-mockery at this moment, Klein shook his head and said, "The situation is not optimistic."

This made Li Geer confused, because except for a small encounter with the Yan army earlier, they had not had any contact with the Yan army until now. It was obvious that the Yan army was deeply afraid and did not dare to attack.

Then this is definitely a good thing for our army, which has a relatively small number of troops.

The army had not been attacked and had posed a threat to the enemy forces that intended to attack the Macedonian arsenal. Time was dragging on. In addition, a moment ago, they had received a message from the messenger sent by Dingle, saying that they were on the way and were expected to meet up with them before twelve o'clock tonight.

At least so far, the situation is definitely not bad, and it can be said that it is getting better and better.

Although it is impossible to know the current situation of the Macedonian arsenal, as long as reinforcements arrive, all threats will be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Li Geer asked doubtfully: "Where is the pessimism?"

Klein rubbed his face and pointed forward.

"Because the Yan people did not take any action."

"This is not normal."

"Our 'large army' is here, what do you expect them to do?" Li Geer shook his head and said in a relaxed tone.

Klein said in a deep voice: "We are not very far from the Macedonian Military Factory. If the Yan Army launched a fierce artillery attack on the Macedonian Military Factory, we should at least be able to hear some movement, but there was no sound."

"It is impossible for them not to attack the Macedonian military factory through artillery bombardment. We have all seen the power of the Yan Army's artillery in Port Brulo, so there is no reason for them to abandon it. This means that they have not yet launched a fierce attack on the Macedonian military factory."

After hearing this, Liger retorted: "Isn't it because we are behind them that they dare not attack easily? You just said that this morning."

Klein nodded and said, "Yes, I did."

"But since they neither launched a fierce attack on the Macedonian military factory nor sent troops back to Port Foster to report the news, this is very problematic."

"Since we stationed troops until now, we have sent troops to guard all routes, but the Yan Army has not sent any troops back at all. In terms of their understanding of this area, they are definitely not as familiar with it as we are, and there is no other route for them to go back and report the news."

"This is too unusual. He knew we were behind him, but he didn't care. What does this mean?"

After hearing what Klein said, Riegl frowned and tried hard to think about the problem.

Klein continued with a sullen face:

"If they don't care, then I think they are very confident. They don't worry about problems in the rear, nor do they worry about our encirclement and suppression."

After hearing this, Riegl finally realized the problem.

Klein said in a deeper tone:

"It is very likely that ... the Macedonian military factory was not their target at all."

"No, that shouldn't be said. It should be said that it is just one of their goals."

"Perhaps...the tactics they really want to implement..."

"It's about surrounding the enemy and attacking the reinforcements!"

"Our reinforcements are the target!"

The sun finally disappeared completely, and a full moon appeared quietly, emitting a clear beam of light that slightly dispelled the darkness of the night.

Beyond the firelight, the ground was covered with silver frost. The winter insects had already dived underground, making the night eerily quiet.

A chill came over him, and Li Geer got goose bumps all over his body.
