Chapter 4833 Ajel's Methods

When their army was in poor condition, Ajel's tactics were undoubtedly very risky and bold.

In fact, Bakas himself also used the tactic of "winning in danger".

This is basically inseparable from the fact that he and Ajel both learned from Marshal Philip.

But the difference is that Bakas's "winning in danger" often leaves room for maneuver.

Simply put, Bakas will use the tactic of "winning in danger" on the premise that "even if he fails, it will not have a fatal impact on his side".

But once the situation and state of his army are very bad and he can't bear the consequences of taking risks, Bakas will basically no longer adopt risky tactics.

Because according to Bakas's command style, in this state, as long as he is not forced into a desperate situation and allowed to retreat and adjust, he will definitely prioritize stabilizing the army and retreating and adjusting.

This can also be said to be the difference between Bakas and Ajel in command style.

At this moment, facing Ajel's tactics, Bakas had to admit that this risky tactic had a success rate, and once successful, it could interrupt the continuous pressure launched by the Black Iron Empire against them, and even completely disrupt the battle rhythm of the Black Iron Army, and even the subsequent tactical plan.

In this way, the Elf Army, which was originally at a disadvantage and suffered continuous suppression from the Black Iron Army, could also get more time to adjust, and even try to fight for the dominance of the subsequent battles again.

But the problem is, what if the surprise attack fails?

When weighing a tactic, you can't just look at how much advantage it has if it succeeds, you also have to look at how much cost you have to bear if it fails!

According to the current situation of their Elf Army, once the tactics fail, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, heavy casualties are inevitable...

Therefore, in Bakas's view, instead of gambling on this risk here, it is better to withdraw to the border of their Elf Kingdom. They rely on the border defense line and gain home advantage to fight a defensive battle. Isn't it safer than now?

However, Ajel's idea is contrary to this.

In this regard, Bakas did not retreat because the other party was the eldest prince. Apart from other things, at least in this military operation, he and Prince Ivan had the same idea, that is, to withdraw the army to the border!

With this idea, Bakas also argued with reason, but Ajel did not follow him at all.

He himself was very opinionated, and the accumulation of expedition experience over the years made Ajel's opinion stronger. Even aside from the fact that Bakas was his "senior brother", in his bones, Ajel had long believed that his command ability was above Bakas.

Now that he has returned from the expedition, it is not an exaggeration to say that his ability to lead troops is completely superior.

Thinking of this, Ajel's inner thoughts undoubtedly became more determined. Coupled with the stimulation of hatred in his heart, facing Bakas's ideas, he did not care at all. After completing a simple rest, he directly led his direct troops to launch an operation.

Before launching the operation, Ajel sent his personal soldiers to notify Bakas.

Bakas was shocked when he received the news and hurriedly ordered troops to go out.

After the order was issued, Bakas, who had taken a breath, quickly became ugly.

Ajel's approach was undoubtedly to force him to send troops.

After all, as the eldest prince of their Elf Kingdom, Ajel directly led his own troops to attack.

The direct troops led by the Royal Griffin Knights, although they were powerful in themselves, did not have the capital to break into the Black Iron Army's position alone.

As opponents of the same level, the Black Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom had an irreversible gap in specifications and strength between the armies and troops.

If Bakas continued to refuse to send troops, Ajel would definitely be in danger.

Of course, Bakas had guessed that if he never sent troops, Ajel might not dare to act rashly.

But he did not dare to gamble.

Moreover, in his impression, Ajel's character is also quite impulsive. Coupled with the drive of hatred, he is likely to do something irrational. Once the bet is wrong, if Ajel has any problems, then he will be guilty!

"If it is Prince Ivan, he will never do such a thing!"

When he thought of this, Ivan's figure appeared unconsciously in Bakas' mind, and he compared the two princes in his mind.

But now it is useless to say anything.

Almost at the same time as Bakas's emergency troops, Ajel, who left with his direct troops first, had received the news here.

After confirming that Bakas had sent troops, Ajel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, he himself knew that with only one unit under his command, the success rate of this tactic was infinitely close to zero.

On the front battlefield, there must be a large army of sufficient size to cooperate with them to launch operations!

Now that Bakas has sent troops urgently, he naturally has nothing to worry about.

The order was issued, and the reconnaissance troops that received the order quickly launched follow-up actions.

Since they were going to launch an attack, they naturally had to find the right position and timing. At the same time, the top priority target was undoubtedly the rear fire fleet of the Black Iron Army.

After everything was confirmed, Ajel did not intend to let the Royal Griffin Knights charge directly.

Although the Royal Griffin Knight's explosive speed is amazing, in the non-explosive state, the speed can only be regarded as above-average, and the flexibility is relatively average.

Based on this premise, considering the attack range of the dwarf warships, if he chooses to rush forward, even if he can finally surprise the Black Iron army, his direct troops will inevitably have to pay a lot of casualties when facing the firepower of the Black Iron fleet. cost.

But in fact, this problem is easy to solve. Just send another flexible mobile force to launch a feint attack to help them distract the black iron troops' attention and defensive firepower.

Under the cover of the mobile troops, the Royal Griffin Knights headed by Ajer charged with a thunderous charge, and combined with the dragon breath attack of the Elf Dragon, they immediately dealt a heavy blow to the back row of the Black Iron Army. .

During this period, Bakas's reaction did not disappoint him. He promptly mobilized the elven army to press forward and used explosive firepower to forcibly intercept the black iron troops who were trying to return reinforcements at that time.

Perhaps it was because the rear of the army suffered a powerful attack. Compared with the previous battles, the performance of the Black Iron Army had declined significantly at this time. I am afraid that the army was in chaos.

Although he was forced to send troops by Ajer this time, since they had already sent troops, Bakas naturally did not intend to passively slow down his work. If the black iron army allowed him to seize the opportunity, he would definitely fight to death!
