Ten o'clock at night.

Before he could rest after the meeting, Saski received new news from the scouts sent to the south by Halson.

According to them, the Yan army showed no signs of leaving Pariston, which gave Saski a reassurance. He then ordered the scouts to take advantage of the night and go around to the back of Pariston as much as possible to see if the Yan army continued to send troops to Pariston.

At the same time, the scouts who were monitoring Pariston from the front also brought new news.

"Sir, we saw from afar that the Yan people were building fortifications just outside of Pariston."

"Oh?" Saski, whose shoulders were being rubbed by the guards, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Yes, sir, they are indeed building fortifications. In addition to the construction to the east of Pariston, not long after we exchanged information with the people on the north and south wings, they also discovered that the Yan people were building fortifications when they went forward to investigate."

After the words fell, Leo, who was beside Saski, held up his chin and said, "Sir, it seems that the Yan people have regarded Pariston as a stronghold that must be controlled."

“Parriston itself is not important and has no good defense system, but it is the first town outside the Enzoshi exit and has an important strategic position.”

Saski stroked his chin and said, "But it's a bit ridiculous that these guys are building fortifications overnight."

“Although Pariston is not big, it is impossible to fully deploy defenses in a short period of time.”

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, but building fortifications means that they are ready to fight us after they realize our army is approaching."

“It’s going to be a positional battle.”

At this point, Leo came close to Saski and said in a deep voice: "Sir, why don't we launch a surprise attack tonight? While they are still building fortifications, disrupt their defense plan."

Saski turned to look at Leo in surprise: "Aren't you always cautious? Why are you so radical now?"

Leo said: "Disrupting the enemy's original plan will definitely be beneficial to us."

Saski shook his head and said, "But wouldn't that also disrupt our plans? I don't think it's necessary. Let them build fortifications. A few hours is not enough to build a systematic defense. As long as they don't evacuate Pariston, that's enough.

"Building fortifications? Haha, this is building a grave for yourself. Tomorrow I will send them to the grave."

Leo fell silent, and Saski said with a relaxed expression:

"Okay, go and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will defeat these Yan people."

-

Pariston.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the enemy has a lot of troops. In addition to a large number of enemy scouts in the east, we have also seen traces of the enemy in the north and south of us."

"They are conducting all-round surveillance on us." The communications soldier who had summarized the information from various sources came to Qin Ze and said.

"It doesn't matter. Our troops are mainly in this town. If we don't take the initiative to go out, they won't be able to figure out how many people we have." Qin Ze said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it seems that the Golts are eager to attack us soon."

Hearing this, Qin Ze said:

"We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Whenever they attack us, we have enough troops to deal with them."

"I just hope they're not just making too much noise but serving us hors d'oeuvres instead of the main course."

"But I think we will soon know what kind of army they brought this time."

"Report any urgent news immediately, go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The signalman left immediately.

-

Time passed gradually, and soon it was three o'clock in the morning. Philly and Harson, who were located in the north and south respectively, led their respective light cavalry to the side of Pariston as agreed at the appointed time.

The journey was surprisingly smooth. On the way, they found that all the sentries posted by the Yan people had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that they had all retreated back to Pariston. In this regard, Phili still maintained a cautious attitude and did not let the cavalry unit speed up.

But Harrison was different. When the road was clear, he immediately ordered to speed up and planned to go around the back of Pariston as soon as possible.

Two hours later, around five o'clock, the main force in front of Pariston, led by Saski himself, marched towards Pariston.

Since the front troops were less than five kilometers away from Pariston, they could see the outer fortifications of Pariston from afar after only forty minutes of marching.

Under the moonlight, the main road leading to Pariston was surrounded by scattered stone walls. They were not continuous, and each wall was only a few meters long. However, they were extremely tall, at least two or three meters high. Dozens of artillery batteries were scattered next to the stone walls.

"These bastards are quite quick and seem to be able to handle the situation properly, but can they withstand a few rounds of bombardment from us?"

Saski, riding on a warhorse and holding a telescope, said disdainfully.

Leo beside him had a serious expression on his face: "Sir, the artillery range of the Yan people is much longer than ours, and our frontline troops are about to enter their artillery range."

"There is no cover for us to hide in here. We have to advance under fire."

Saski threw the telescope to the messenger beside him and said, "At the beginning of the war, we will have to pay a certain amount of casualties, but as long as we shorten the distance and rush into Pariston, we will kill them like chickens."

After that, he turned his head and said loudly: "Pass the order down, get ready, the attack is about to begin!"

"Destroy the enemy's fortifications as quickly as possible, and follow-up troops must follow immediately!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger immediately conveyed the message. At this moment, the artillery corps was at the forefront of the army. War horses with black cloths on their faces were dragging iron chariots. Some of them were covered with iron sheets and hid infantry inside, while others simply carried artillery.

A moment later, there was a loud battle cry.

This heavily-armored artillery corps rushed towards Pariston with unstoppable force. On the opposite side, the Yan Army artillerymen, who were already well prepared and located in temporary fortifications, aimed their guns at the chariots.

At the rear of the Golts, Saski took out his pocket watch. After checking the time, he looked up at the artillery unit running wildly in front of him and sneered:

"After a while, Fili and Harson's troops will join our attack. With the offensive from three sides, the Yan people will be beaten to a pulp..."

And then, “BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!”

Dozens of heavy artillery shells fired from the direction of Pariston whistled towards the Goltish artillery corps in the night.
