Chapter 22 5000 vs 30000

Anton was very proud now. He was riding a horse in high spirits.

A month and a half ago, he teamed up with his two companions, Abel and Abt, to incite the peasants and set off an uprising.

The response of the Britannia Empire was also very fast. In the past month and a half, they had dispatched three armies to encircle and suppress them.

But Anton and his two companions were also quite talented in military affairs. Through clever command and mobilization, they defeated all the Britannian Empire's punitive forces.

This rebel army has expanded from a few hundred people to 30,000 people now.

Now, this army of 30,000 people is divided into three groups. Anton, who is the most capable and has the highest prestige, leads 15,000 people and serves as the center army. Abel leads 10,000 people and serves as the left army. Abel leads 10,000 people and serves as the left army.

He led 5,000 men to serve as the right army.

The three-pronged army aimed directly at the city of Cordoba.

The reason why they chose to attack Cordoba City was because they had received reliable information that Cordoba City had a large amount of supplies stored in it, and because it was deep in the interior, it had been in a safer place for a long time, so Cordoba City

Wa City did not have a large number of soldiers deployed.

This is a perfect target for them who are short of supplies.

Anton turned his head and shouted to the orderer next to him: "Give me the order! Let the army go faster! Faster! It's still too slow now!"

"yes!"

Watching the messenger leave, Anton sneered and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "I don't want Abel and Abt to take the credit. If I can capture Cordoba

, then my prestige in the army will be overwhelmingly greater than that of Abel and Abt, hum."

At this moment, he saw his own sentry, riding towards him on horseback. He rushed up to him and said loudly:

"Chief! We have received reliable information that Britannia has sent troops to encircle and suppress us again!"

Anton's face darkened.

"How many people were sent this time? Is the commander in charge the Knight of the New Laurel or the Knight of the Two Oaks?"

"Only 5,000 people were sent this time! And the person leading them is neither the Knight of the New Laurel nor the Knight of the Two Oaks, but a civilian who is not even an army captain!"

Anton was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahaha! Is the shitty emperor of Britannia out of his mind? Last time he sent two new knights with nearly 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress us, but I defeated them all. This time I sent a civilian

Commanding 5,000 people? This is hilarious!"

...

At this time, Pendragon, the residence of Earl Hyde and unified knight Iser.

Isel, who was reading, suddenly put down the book in his hand and asked Alyssa beside him: "Alyssa, do you think Cheng will win?"

Alyssa raised her eyebrows and said in a mocking tone:

"Father, haven't you always liked that Su Cheng? You think that Su Cheng has great military talent. Why are you worried now?"

"He is very talented in military affairs, there is no doubt about it." Iser said in a decisive tone.

After hearing this, Alyssa's face flashed with displeasure.

Isel sighed.

"However, no matter how talented you are in military affairs, you can't rush it. You should take it step by step slowly. Let him start by leading a few people, and then slowly accumulate experience, and finally become a general who can command thousands or tens of thousands.

Instead of just letting him go through so many steps in the middle, let him directly lead 5,000 people, and let him use 5,000 people to deal with 30,000 people. With such a disparity in strength, even you and Enli will find it difficult to win.

.Jacob is really...too hasty!"

"Father, you seem to have said that it was Jacob who proposed to His Majesty the Emperor that Su Cheng should lead the army on an expedition." Alyssa said calmly, "Why did he do this?"

"Hmph!" Iser sneered, "Jacob said that he saw that Su Cheng was an unparalleled military genius and thought that Su Cheng would definitely be able to complete the mission. I really don't understand where Jacob got his confidence!"

"So, Mr. Jacob is very confident in Su Cheng, so he proposed to send this task to Su Cheng?"

"Probably, but I think he sent this task to Su Cheng for another reason."

"Another reason?" Alyssa asked doubtfully.

Iser pondered for a while and asked: "Alyssa, how many unified knights are there in the Britannia Empire now?"

"Huh?" Alyssa was stunned, "Now you are the unified knight."

Iselle sighed again.

"Then you should also know how bad the situation in Britannia is now, right?"

After hearing this, Alyssa tightened her mouth and stopped talking.

"Britannia's current national strength has declined a lot compared to before," Iser said slowly. "At this critical juncture, we and the other three empires: the Rolin Empire in the south and the Holy Hiran Empire in the north.

The relationship with the Frankish Empire in the East is not good, especially with the Rolin Empire and the Frankish Empire, and the Hundred Years War with the Frankish Empire has not yet ended. The national defense of our Britannia Empire is very tense now, and now I am the only one

Now that I am a unified knight, it can be said that I can no longer withstand this bad situation alone."

"Jacob has definitely seen that the current national defense situation of the Britannia Empire is not optimistic. He is so anxious to send Su Cheng to the battlefield. He probably also hopes that Su Cheng's military talent will explode so that the empire can now have more

A capable knight to ease the tense national defense situation. However, I really don’t know if Jacob has thought carefully about the consequences of acting too hastily. I can also see that Su Cheng has good military talents and is a good prospect, but I don’t think so.

Jacob was so impressive. Without having ever led an army, Su Cheng was able to directly command 5,000 people and defeat 30,000 people. It was too hasty. What if Su Cheng, a good seedling, was destroyed before it was fully developed?

What to do? I really don’t know what Jacob is thinking..."

Before Isel finished speaking, Alyssa suddenly stood up with a "hoo" and said sharply:

"Why do you, Father and Mr. Jacob, think that this Su Cheng has great military talent?! I look around and think that he is just a talker!"

Iser was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and then said: "Alyssa, you have to understand that sometimes the elders and wise men have very accurate visions. Sometimes the person obviously didn't do anything, but

But you can tell that person from his words, deeds, face, and voice..."

"That's enough!" Alyssa interrupted Iser rudely, and then quickly left the room.

"I don't want to hear what you say anymore about Su Cheng, Su Cheng! It's so annoying!!"

Iser looked at Alyssa's leaving figure, shook her head helplessly, then completely closed the book in her hand, then closed her eyes to rest.

At this time, Iser suddenly remembered Jacob's previous evaluation of Su Cheng.

Iser closed his eyes and murmured:
Chapter completed!
