The protagonist will not always be the same person, just like everything is inconclusive.
....
The fire glowed from the eastern city.
It stood out in the dark night.
"Onofre, what should we do now?" City Lord Ned asked anxiously, they had all just rested but were awakened by their cronies.
Apparently Onofre had also learned the news that the Kaiser had arrived in Fermil overnight.
"The Eastern City?" Onofre muttered, and then asked, "How many fires are there around the East City?"
"At least 30,000 to 40,000, it should be the main Kaiser force!" The crony spying on the news said firmly.
"Why would they go around the east city?"
Onofrei frowned a little, "If attacking by night, the west city should be the best, the troops stationed there are not defended by walls and are lambs to the slaughter at night."
"I also feel fishy." Ned nodded, they did not anticipate the speed of the Kaiser people, and as far as making there is still part of the Figo army did not move to the city, to this part is not much, only a few thousand people left.
The tents left behind also gave the Kaiser a vague judgment, they likewise did not know how many people were actually stationed in the tents that could station 10,000 to 20,000 people, and could only judge by the fact that there were still people going in and out of the tents that there were still people who had not gone into the city.
"This is our mistake," Onofre rubbed his temples, he had some headache, "we should have moved the troops outside as soon as possible, even if the city can not fit so many people at one time."
"The Kaiser should have split into two."
Onofre said to City Lord Ned, "Lord Ned, order to receive the troops outside the city into the city immediately!"
"The Kaiser are just harassing in the east city, they are one person holding two torches, the main force must be in the west city!"
Onofre was definitely not a mediocre person, since he could be so trusted by Ned, naturally he also relied on merit and wisdom.
Kaiser people attacked in the east city, wanting to divide the troops of the city to defend the east city, and then attack the west city in a big way, this is something that is not difficult to see.
Although Onofre did not think Alexander could be so powerful, Alexander's reputation of conquering around when he was not yet on the throne was actually widely spread in this part of the Han River where Odin and Kaiser meet.
A man who was so good and eager for war could not afford such a great reputation if he would not use such division tactics.
"Lord Ned, send another army out from the south city, since they are splitting their troops between the east and west, the south city must be the weakest."
If another person heard Onofre say such words, he would have cursed him Barnstormer, such an idea as opening the city gates at war time was even thought of.
But it was good that it was Ned, who had enough trust in Onofre.
"Okay, let's do as you say, how many men are needed?"
"Two thousand people will do." Onofre said, "Use those new recruits from Fico, and use them to attract the attention of Kaiser's army."
"The Kaiser army has more than 50,000 men, even if we divide 20,000 from the eastern city, we still have at least 30,000 men."
"Although I am confident that our Fermil-trained majestic army is definitely not inferior to those of their armies that fought with the Amon monkeys, but two fists cannot beat four hands, and our numerical disadvantage is too great to be matched in frontal combat."
"Then what's the point of attracting the Kaiser's attention?"
"To exchange their lives for time for the western city army to enter the city."
Onofre's face seemed to hide ruthlessness, and the ploy of exchanging lives for lives simply came out of his mouth.
"The people of the Western City must be saved, if we close the city and do not save them, they die we likewise lose so many men, but also to our Fermil reputation is not good."
"But if we open the city to save the people, if they take advantage of the city gates are wide open and sneak attack us, then we are equally have a city destruction crisis."
"Only in this way, there is a chance that we may be able to fight a victory and rub the Kaiser people hard!"
Ned is by no means indecisive, Onofre set the strategy, he immediately nodded slightly, determined to implement.
The strategy of ordering two thousand recruits and leaving the city immediately, under the name of attacking the Kaiser food routes, was absolutely correct and without the slightest flaw.
The Kaisers came so fast that their grain wagons could not fly together, and in all siege wars, food is the most important thing.
And following the new recruits, there were 5,000 elite Fermil troops, almost pouring in, their purpose was equally simple, nominally to cover the new recruits to break the grain, but in fact to intercept the Kaiser army.
Onofre has always left no room for error, a total of only six thousand Fermil garrison troops, almost all sent, leaving only more than 10,000 Fico recruits and more than 1,000 Fermil garrison troops in the city.
....
The battlefield was swift beyond imagination.
In less than half an hour, the two thousand recruits, a total of fourteen columns and two thousand men (Note: a thousand for the formation of the line, seven columns of a thousand men).
It was very unfortunate that Joseph, as well as Dragan's column, was also selected to be among them.
"Jose, I think Onofre is a Barn."
In the night two thousand people quietly out of the city gates, waiting until far away, Dragan lowers his voice tirade.
"We came here to carry grain, and now the war is fought and still have to rob the grain!"
"Why don't you call him a swine?"
"Swine? What's that?"
"That's a Baen, a creature more Baen than Baen, called a swine."
"Jose, did you raise Baen on your previous farm? You know so much about it."
"Do you want to try to do it? I can introduce you to the farm owner ...
I mean to do farming ...
before he was going to marry his daughter to me."
"Then why don't you want to? Are you so faithful to love? I must confess now, Jose, you and I are one of a kind."
Dragan's serious look made Joseph want to laugh a little, but it was true that the previous farmer was ready to marry a daughter to him.
Only he had six daughters.
"No, Dragan, I was only reluctant because his daughter was too fat."
That was indeed the reason.
But how the moon was distinctly scarlet today.
Joseph lifted his head.
....
It would be quite difficult for an untrained party to go out of the city undetected, unless the Kaiser scouts were all swine - creatures dumber than Baen.
"Your Majesty, Fermil has a party coming out of the southern city, it's too dark and we don't dare to get too close to tell exactly how many."
"Head south."
Alexander had already garrisoned and prepared to attack the city at any time in the West City, but heard this news.
"It seems that Fermil is not all stupid, they are trying to attack our food route."
Alexander sneered, "I will personally hunt down this group of them, the group in the West City will start killing directly, no need to wait, since they want these people outside the West City, let's see how many they can let back in!"
Alexander immediately made a decision, that is, he personally to protect the grain road, no longer ready to attack the West City directly, after all, with that unknown probability, obviously the grain road is more important.
And the West City team also do not have to consider the West City gate open situation, direct attack and kill, can run back a few even if they are capable.
....
Alexander, a force of more than 10,000 people to intercept Joseph's army at the same time, there is a team of 5,000 people also quietly out of the South City.
The leader of the army, it is Onofre.
