Chapter 978 Rhineland Battle 2
Perhaps it is because it is adjacent to the Isu River, the air here in the Rhineland Plain is a bit humid.
The warm air filled with water vapor flew past Issel, wearing armor and carrying a red knight's sword on his waist.
His firm face was reflected in the white light scattered by the rising sun.
Issel was standing on a wooden tower, looking at the Frankish army formation in the distance.
The silver waves composed of the morning light of the rising sun dispel the morning mist and the night in the sky at an extremely fast speed. The sky became brighter and brighter, and the remaining night quickly shrank towards the other side of the sky.
Under the tower where Issel is located, 300,000 Britannian troops are arranged into neat military formations after another.
Under the morning light, the soldiers' armor, swords, guns, arrows and halberds shone brightly.
Among the thousands of troops, there are knights with reins tied with knight's sword on their waists,
There were also ordinary soldiers holding spears and swords. They rushed here from all over the Rhine Front just to fight to the death with the Frank army that broke into their country's homeland.
They looked at the Frank army, which was also densely packed in the distance with different eyes.
Have a calm look.
Have a plain look.
Have a nervous look.
A fearful look.
Issel is the kind of person who stares at the Frank army formation in the distance with a calm gaze from beginning to end.
Not only Issel, but Albert, who was standing next to Issel at this time, was also like this.
Both of them are powerful generals who have experienced many battles. Both sides participated in a battle with hundreds of thousands of troops. Both of them had fought countless battles.
Although both of them experienced this battle of 600,000 people for the first time.
"Issel." Albert turned his head and said to Issel beside him, "How to fight now? Are we going to attack first?"
Now both sides have set up military formations and can start a battle at any time.
Just as Issel pondered and wondered whether to start the war with their Britannian Empire, the Frank army in the north suddenly became volatile.
A group of fully armed infantry broke out from the Frank army and rushed straight towards the Britannian army.
"...It seems that the first attack was taken first by the Franks." Albert said lightly.
"It's the same for anyone to attack first," Issel responded. "Anyway, no matter what, the Franks will be defeated by us."
After saying that, Issel waved the flag in his hand and began to command the troops to fight the incoming Frank army.
...
...
Rhineland Plain, Frankish Army, this formation.
"Chief." A messenger said respectfully to Walter, "our army has entered into a battle with the Britannian army."
Walter nodded softly: "Yeah, I understand."
After saying that, Walter waved his hand and signaled the messenger to retreat.
After the messenger left, Bazel, who had been sitting beside Walter, whispered quietly:
"Next...wait for General Otto von Holwig to come with our 'secret weapon'..."
The Frank Empire has invested three generals to this Nibelungen plan.
The army participating in the Nibelungen Project had a total of 500,000 people, divided into 1, 2, and 3 formations.
These three generals are responsible for commanding these three formations respectively.
These three generals are:
General Bazer von Rudendolf was responsible for commanding the 100,000 army of the 1st Fortress.
General Walter von Zimmermann served as the commander-in-chief of the Nibelungen Project and personally commanded the 200,000 army of the 2nd Fortress.
And - General Otto von Holwig, responsible for leading the 200,000 troops of the 3rd Fortress.
The 200,000 army in the third formation is the secret weapon that the Frank Empire has prepared for many years.
A secret weapon specially used to deal with the Knights of the Britannian Empire.
Whether Issel's troops can be annihilated on the Rhineland Plain depends entirely on their secret weapon - that is, whether the 200,000 special troops of the 3rd Fortress can successfully complete their mission.
When he heard the name of Otto von Holwig, Bazer's face showed a very explicit dissatisfaction.
"Oh..." Bazel sighed, "I really don't want to join forces with General Holvig... I hate him very much."
Bazer and Walter have a good personal relationship, so he dared to boldly express his dissatisfaction with his colleagues in front of Walter.
After hearing Bazel's words, Walter smiled helplessly:
"Bazel, be patient. I don't like General Holvig either, but he is the key to the Nibelungen plan this time, so no matter how much I hate him, I can only tolerate it."
In the Frank Empire, there was a special name culture.
That is, only people who are close to each other can call each other's names.
People who are relatively distant can only call their surnames.
This is why when Walter called Bazel, he called him Bazel by his name. When he called Otto, he called General Holvig.
After listening to Walter's persuasion, Bazel slapped his mouth and continued:
"General Holvig is so arrogant."
“It’s so arrogant that it makes people feel uncomfortable.”
"Isn't it just that you are good at commanding ships and fighting water battles? What's so amazing?"
"Walter, you don't look at his arrogant attitude before the Nibelungan project began."
"When talking to you, I don't even say respect, I'm so arrogant."
After hearing Bazel's complaint, Walter smiled helplessly again.
"General Holvig is arrogant, but his ability is still worthy of our admiration."
"His ship command level and water combat ability are really unparalleled."
"Looking at the whole country, except him, there is indeed no one else who has the ability to command the 200,000 army of the third formation."
"So-Bazel, bear it. He is indeed indispensable to our Nibelungen plan."
"For the victory of our Nibelungen plan, let us bear the arrogance of General Holvig."
"Hmph..." Bazel snorted coldly, "It's really unpleasant... He'd better complete his mission as soon as possible. If our Nibelungan plan failed because of his reasons, I must break his ugly big nose."
...
...
Britannian Empire, on the banks of the Isu River, an unknown village.
Although the Frank army invaded the Britannian Empire on a large scale and an astonishing battle of troops broke out in the Rhineland Plain, there was still a very brave fisherman on the banks of the Issu River that did not withdraw.
The fisherman's family is in a very poor family, and they don't even have dry food for escape.
Since escaping is a dead end, they simply took the initiative and decided to stay in the village.
This fisherman became the only family in this village that has not been evacuated.
They want to bet.
The bet war will not ignite into their village.
They have good luck.
They won the bet.
Although it is very close to the Rhineland battlefield, the war did not ignite their nameless village.
In order to make a living, the fisherman still got fishing in the neighboring Yisu River.
