The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

at the same time.

After capturing the Heinrich military base, Qin Ze let the people who had previously participated in the battle rest and recuperate, while sending another army to clear the mountain road that was destroyed by the Golts.

The road was not completely destroyed as the Goths evacuated in too haste, so only less than a few hundred meters of the road was blocked by rubble and trees. As for the pass leading into the mountain, the damage was relatively severe and was covered by a large amount of earth and rocks.

The cleanup work started early this morning. During the dredging process, the soldiers did not encounter any attacks from the Goths, which made Qin Ze convinced that they had all fled deep into the mountains.

And precisely because of this, he had to be more vigilant about the next marching route. On the map, the Enzos Mountains were connected by a road called "Cornflower Avenue", which was the only official route of the Goths. Judging from the markings on the map, the Cornflower Avenue was very short, only less than 20 kilometers.

If you were traveling quickly on flat ground, you could get through it smoothly within half a day even in the cold winter season. However, the Cornflower Avenue is in a mountainous area, and it is not a straight road, but a winding road. Although you don't know what the route will be like after you go in, but looking at the towering mountains of the Enzos Mountains, Qin Ze knows that the journey will be full of twists and turns.

Perhaps this is the exotic version of "The Wild Goose Falls on the Mountain". Unfortunately, it was the Golts who occupied the advantageous terrain. Mountain warfare has always been the most difficult battle. The defenders can firmly control the key passes by relying on the higher terrain. With the support of firearms, their defensive strength almost increases linearly.

As the attacking side, if you want to win a mountain battle in this terrain, it is not enough to have advanced weapons, because due to the terrain, the power of artillery will be greatly weakened. At this time, more reliance must be placed on the high mobility of troops.

In the vast plains, cavalry is the most mobile type of soldier. However, placing them in the mountains is equivalent to restricting their hands and feet. On the contrary, infantry can have higher mobility in the mountains. But if a large group of people rush along a route, the enemy only needs to launch artillery bombardment from high places, which will inevitably cause heavy casualties to their side, and even cut off the army. No matter how many troops there are, as long as the defenders have enough weapons, they can continue to consume their own side.

Taking these difficulties into consideration, Qin Ze did not let the soldiers go into the mountains to fight immediately, but instead made a detailed deployment.

Therefore, on the 22nd and 23rd, the Yan army was just slowly clearing the road into the mountain. It was not until the evening of the 23rd that the road into the mountain was completely cleared.

Based on this, Qin Ze also judged a clearer message.

The Goths who had entered the mountains did not create further explosions to destroy the roads in the mountains, so it can be confirmed that they did not want to block the road, but instead prepared ambush troops in the mountains waiting for an opportunity to strike, and they were waiting for their own troops to enter the mountains.

After clarifying the enemy's purpose, Qin Ze, who used the military base as a temporary combat command center, sent the first troop to advance into the mountains the next morning, but he did not go with them.

And this first force consisted of only 30,000 people.

-

At noon on the 24th.

Enzos Mountains, Brulin Pass.

Dingle, who was ambushed here, received urgent news sent up from the foot of the mountain.

"Sir, the Yan people have entered the mountains! But they did not bring too many troops with them. According to our rough observation, there are only about 30,000 to 20,000 people."

"They are walking very slowly and very cautiously," the signalman said in a hurried voice.

Although this number of troops is not too large, everyone has seen how strong their enemy's combat effectiveness is, and the enemy's total strength is definitely more than this number.

After the signalman finished speaking, Willie immediately shouted angrily: "Good! Well done!"

"Wait until they reach the ambush point! Launch the artillery attack! Eliminate them all! These damn guys, it's time to pay for their sins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dinger stopped him with a stern face: "No, we can't launch an attack easily now."

"This is not the main force of the Yan people. They are just here to explore the route. If we launch an attack at this time, our ambush site will be exposed. Even if we can cause them considerable casualties, as long as some of them escape, their main force will directly attack our ambush site. We have all seen the strength of the Yan people. They use heavy troops to break through the pass. It will be difficult to defend with the troops left at each ambush point."

After saying this, Willy gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't fight when they have fewer troops, do we have to wait until they have more troops before fighting?!"

Ever since the military base fell, Willy has been in a rage. In this wet and cold mountain, he can't wait to give the enemy a brutal kill.

Now the troops stationed in the mountains have been dispersed, led by Harris, Zoye and others, and set up in different ambush locations.

After seeing Willy's angry face, Dinger patiently advised: "Don't be impatient, General Willy."

"You have to believe that the Yan people will definitely bring all their troops into the mountains."

"Now that we only see one of their troops, it is not the best time for us to launch an attack. We have to wait until they have enough troops to enter the mountains and pass through our multiple ambush points. That will be the best time for us to launch an attack."

"At that time, each ambush point will launch attacks one after another, and their army will be divided into several parts. They will lose sight of one while focusing on another. We will divide and attack them, and we will achieve the greatest victory and eliminate the most enemies!"

After finishing his speech, Willy gradually calmed down, but still said: "But this is also very risky."

"We have no idea how many troops they will send next, and every time they advance a distance, we lose sight of the area."

Dingle nodded and said:

"Yes, there are risks, but we occupy the high ground and have a better view than them. If necessary, we can launch an attack first."

"But definitely not now."

"Wait and see what they will do next."

"Alright." Wei Li immediately shouted: "Keep investigating and report back. We must not let the Yan people disappear from our sight!"

"Yes, sir!" The signalman hurried away.

More than two hours later, news came back that surprised everyone.

"Commander! The Yan people suddenly disbanded on the spot before they reached our first ambush site!" said the communications soldier who hurried back in panic.

"Disbanded...disbanded?" After hearing the news, Willy was shocked.

"Yes, dismissed, sir!"

"Without any warning, they all suddenly scattered and rushed into the mountains and woods." The signalman looked panicked because it meant that they had lost sight of the enemy.

"Dingle, then this..." Willy looked at Dingle with a stiff expression.
