Chapter 24 Sun King (8)

"It's outrageous! It's a great humiliation!"

After hearing the news that Ella brought back, Tessomuk rolled down from the stretcher in anger. The injuries on his body made him unable to stand for a long time, but even when he fell to the ground, he still tried to stand up again and again. When the soldiers outside heard the movement, they ran in and wanted to help him up, but he pushed them away roughly.

"Don't help me! Call all the lords of all states here! He thinks I'm safe, right? I don't think I can't pose a threat to him even if I keep me by my side, right? I'll lead my troops in and kill him!"

The Sun King had already made it clear to Ella that he knew Tesosomok's plan. Even so, he chose to keep Tesosomok by his side. In other words, he didn't take Tesosomok seriously at all.

"Calm down, Tessosomok, are you such an impulsive person?"

Ella waved her hand and signaled the soldier to retreat. On the way back to her camp from the Sun King, she had adjusted her mind. But she heard him say to Tessosomok:

"Will the Sun King think so, isn't it just that your previous weakness has been effective? Why are you angry now?"

Ella said that when the Sun King was ambushing the Sun King in the valley. At that time, the Sun King asked Tesosomok to sit on his throne, but Tesosomok pretended to be seriously injured and sat down on the steps on the throne. This was an action to dispel the Sun King's doubts.

Tessomok lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I know, I know he knows, I know he wants to turn Trakopanbon from an ally to a vassal, and he knows that I want to seize his power. This is tacit matter! But he took this matter openly, and that he really didn't take me seriously! He saw that I was injured and my soldiers were cowardly, and he felt that no matter what, I could not threaten him!"

"This is also true," Ella said, "or we wouldn't have to stop when the opposite side entered the ambush."

"Then when should we take action? Even the ambush failed! In the future, the Sun King will only become more and more alert to us. Tonight is the last time to attack!"

"No rush, Tessosomok, really, no rush."

Ella sat down cross-legged in front of Tessomok who was lying on the ground.

"Soldiers dare not attack the Sun King, so we don't need soldiers. There are more than one way to solve a person. He keeps us by his side, which is to give us a chance."

Tessomok's eyes widened:

"Sir God, don't you feel ashamed of saying those words in front of you? Why can you still be so calm?"

"I felt a little oppressed at that time, but after a while, I didn't feel that way. I've experienced many more shameful things and encountered many more difficult opponents. This level of thing really doesn't matter."

After a pause, Ella added:

"Tesosomok, do you think the Sun King really arranged the formation to look like on the map?"

"Of course. Our Aztland army, both in number and in the bravery of the soldiers, has an overwhelming advantage over all the countries around us. In my impression, since Mokutsoma ascended the throne, he fought like this and never lost. Even this time, our troops should be more than ten times the opposite side, right?"

"If he really set up this formation seriously... then I'll be relieved."

"I don't understand, is there anything wrong with this?"

"The enemy's spear will naturally teach him a lesson," Ella said confidently, "and under my military advice, he will be doomed!"

The next day, another battle meeting was held as arranged by the Sun King. Ella and Tessolomuk were sitting, while the Sun King paced back and forth in the camp.

"I thought about it all night but still couldn't figure out what the second child wanted to do. Since that's the case, I won't think about it. Now, 90% of Aztland's military power is on the front line, and under my control, he can't cause any storms. Our current goal is to defeat the invaders from the east coast of the sea with all their might. Many tribes have turned to them. This is a good thing. After the war is over, we will have enough hearts."

As he said that, he came to Tessosomok and patted his shoulder.

"When the enemy is in front of you, if the second guy doesn't know what he knows and dares to do something small, then after the war, we will divide his Tescobon into two, one belonging to Tenochtitlan and one belonging to your Tracopan, how about it?"

With last night's exchange, Tessosomok returned to his original calmness.

"A split into two does not comply with the regulations of our alliance." He replied, "The share of our three countries has always been two to two to one. Trakopan is not here, so it is at least three to two. I will get 40%, and you can get 60%.

"Okay. But it's better for the second guy to be smarter. After all, I'm a very friendly person and don't want to attack the alliance."

The Sun King patted Tessolomuk on the shoulder again, then turned to Ella.

"The plan you mentioned last night is more interesting the more I think about it. But how should we deal with this kind of attack? Can you explain it in detail?"

Ella said seriously:

"To beware of attacks from rivers, the best way is to stay away from rivers. Not only should you stay away from rivers, but it is best to stay in highlands with complex terrain, which can effectively delay the attack of enemies landing from rivers. It is better to send more people to fetch water than to be attacked as much as possible by the enemy."

Ella said, paying attention to the Sun King's expression. Seeing him nodding there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, we need to build a fleet and patrol along the river. We will promptly investigate the enemy's situation."

"fleet?"

"It's just a group of canoes. You need to use it when you cross the river?" Ella said, "You can ride this thing along the river to investigate, do you understand?"

Seeing that the Sun King nodded again, Ella became more and more courageous.

"In addition, we must beware of the possibility of being surrounded by the enemy on ships. So we must divide a group of troops and build fortifications in the river behind the army."

"Fortifications?"

"Do you know the bridge? There are so many people under the bridge that can pass through a single-timbered boat, right? Install doors on both sides, and you can pass through a boat when the door opens, but you can't pass through a boat when the door is closed. Then build a wooden wall on the bridge and station the army to ensure that the enemy cannot break through. In this way, the enemy's ships will not be able to move freely on the river!"

The more Ella said, the more she felt that she had a bad idea: stationing the army in a highland far away from the river will not only make the army exhausted from obtaining water, but will also easily be cut off. Once the water is cut off, no matter what it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops will lose combat capabilities; single-timber fleets, just thinking about it, Ella can laugh out loud; building fortifications behind the army will be in vain to lose Aztland's military strength and logistics capabilities.

If you really do what Ella said, let alone Hestein. If it were Sigurd or Hafdan, you would win if you rushed forward.

Not only did the Sun King find nothing, but it seems that the more he listened, the more he felt it made sense.
