Chapter 223(1/2)
July 2, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
8:05 in the morning.
The southernmost frontline of the empire and the center position of the army.
"Miss Alyssa! The 7,000 cavalry have been assembled and the baggage has been prepared. They are ready to go at any time! Also, this is your horse."
After listening to the report from her knight servant Hazel, Alyssa nodded slightly.
Then, Alyssa turned her head and looked to the left side of her body.
After moving her gaze to the left side of her body, Alyssa saw an entire cavalry unit that had completed its assembly.
Looking at this huge cavalry unit that could not be reached, Alyssa had a look of satisfaction on her face. Then she said:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Alyssa took the reins of her horse from Hazel's hands.
After Alyssa led the new soldiers who replaced the wounded and wounded soldiers to the center army position, Alyssa immediately discussed with Albert and the other generals how to fight their center army.
After several days of discussion, they discussed the specific play style of their middle army:
On July 2, 290, the day when the "Xia Feng" offensive officially began, Deputy Commander Alyssa led 7,000 cavalry as the vanguard, attacking first and heading towards Lixi City, the important town of the Luolin Empire.
The coach, Albert, led the entire army, followed Alyssa's vanguard, step by step, fought steadily, and advanced slowly.
Today is July 2, 290.
In other words, today is the official start day of the "Xia Feng" offensive!
At the same time, it is also the day for Alyssa to lead the 7,000 cavalry to attack first!
Therefore, early this morning, when the sun was just breaking, the cavalry camp of the Central Route Army was immediately put into operation.
Because in this "Xia Feng" offensive, the Central Route Army, which was responsible for the main offensive, had the heaviest task, so the troops allocated to the Central Route Army were undoubtedly the most elite troops among the 150,000 troops at the forefront of the south.
It didn't take long for the 7,000 cavalry and the required baggage to be assembled. Alyssa was now ready to lead the attack.
After taking the reins from Hazel's hand and taking her own spear lying next to her, Alyssa wanted to get on the horse.
Just as Alyssa grabbed the horse's mane with her left hand, inserted her left foot into the horse's left stirrup, and then used this as a fulcrum to turn over onto the horse, Albert's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Alyssa!"
Alyssa looked around and found Albert standing not far behind her.
"Huh? Mr. Albert? Why are you here?"
After saying that, Alyssa let go of the horse's mane, took her left foot out of the left stirrup, inserted the spear in her right hand back to the ground, and then walked quickly to Albert.
"Come to give it to you."
Albert smiled softly.
"This time, as the vanguard of the entire army, you will be the first to go deep into the enemy's territory, so it will be very dangerous, so you must be careful."
As Albert spoke, he straightened the hair that was blown by the wind on Alyssa's head, and continued to have that kind and gentle smile on his face.
After listening to Albert's caring words full of tenderness, Alyssa was stunned, and then a faint and gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Don't worry, Mr. Albert." Alyssa smiled, "I'm not weak enough to have an accident in a place like this. Please look forward to my outstanding performance in this offensive!"
"With this battle, I will be promoted to the Knight of Orchid!"
After hearing the full confidence in Alyssa's tone, Albert smiled and nodded. Then he said:
"Well, I look forward to your excellent performance in this offensive! But when you are fighting, don't forget to pay attention to your own safety."
After saying this in a half-joking tone, Albert took two steps back and gave Alyssa a standard military salute.
After seeing Albert salute her, Alyssa quickly returned a military salute to Albert.
"Mr. Albert, I'm leaving!"
"Well! I wish you a triumphant victory!"
After listening to Albert's blessing words, Alyssa's face showed a tender smile again.
Then, Alyssa turned around and hurried back to her horse, and then turned over on the horse very skillfully.
"Set off!!"
Alyssa got on the horse and shouted at the 7,000 cavalrymen beside her.
"Ohhhhhhhhh!!!"
The 7,000 cavalry also responded to Alyssa with shouts.
After listening to the powerful shouts of these 7,000 cavalry, Alyssa's face showed a smile full of confidence.
Then, Alyssa pulled out the spear stuck on the side, and then knocked the horse's belly, and the white horse under her crotch took four hooves.
The speed of the white horse became faster and faster, and soon it turned into a white "arrow", carrying Alyssa and galloping out of the military camp.
And these 7,000 cavalrymen also knelt on their horses, driving their horses, followed closely behind Alyssa, and sprinted out of the military camp!
Albert stood aside, watching Alyssa and the 7,000 cavalry leave, while giving them a standard military salute.
Not long after, the last cavalryman disappeared from Albert's sight.
Only then did Albert stop saluting and lowered his saluting hand.
Just after Albert put down his saluting hand, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
This was the voice of a senior general in the army. In terms of status in the central army, he was second only to Albert and Alyssa.
"Commander, has the vanguard already left?" the general asked Albert.
"Well, I just left." Albert replied calmly.
"This time, our enemy is our old rival Baldru." The general chuckled.
After hearing what the general said, Albert let out a disdainful laugh.
As early as two days ago, their scouts and spies found out who was the leader of the 250,000-strong Rolling Army that was attacking the Britannia Empire's 150,000-strong army.
It is Baldru, a well-known veteran and famous general of the Luolin Empire.
Balta is a famous general in the Luolin Empire. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest general in the Luolin Empire now.
It's just that the strongest general of the Luo Lin Empire has always been defeated by Albert.
Albert is the leader of the Rachel Knights who are responsible for dealing with the Rollin Empire.
Therefore, it was natural that he often dealt with the generals of the Luo Lin Empire.
Barr is the strongest general in the Luolin Empire, and Albert has naturally had many confrontations with him.
In the many confrontations between the two, Balt basically never defeated Albert.
The scouts and spies also found out that Barr, the commander of the 250,000-strong Rolling Army, would personally deal with the center army commanded by Albert.
The West Route Army and the East Route Army respectively sent two troops to deal with it.
When he learned two days ago that his opponent this time was that Baldreau again, Albert couldn't help but let out a disdainful laugh.
After all, over the years, Barr has used his actual actions to prove to Albert that he is so powerless and incompetent when facing him.
After taking one last look in the direction where the vanguard left, Albert turned and left.
While turning to leave, Albert said to the general:
"Let the entire army begin to prepare. The large forces of our Central Army are also about to begin their march! Let's add one more victory to Barr's record of defeats."
"yes!"
…
At the same time, the West Route Army position.
Coach's camp.
There were only two people in the camp of the head coach of the Western Route Army in Nuoda.
These two people were the two most powerful people in the Western Route Army, the deputy commander of the Western Route Army, and Allen, who was the coach of the Western Route Army.
"Commander!" the adjutant of the Western Route Army shouted to Allen, "Our 53,000-strong army has been prepared according to your order! It can start marching at any time!"
After listening to the adjutant's report, Allen nodded, said "OK", and then looked down at the pocket watch in his hand.
Looking at the time on his pocket watch, Allen thought to himself:
Now, the Central Army's side should have started to take action... Then it's time for me to take action too!
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never fought against the Luolin people in my life.
It seems that it is indeed necessary for me to take advantage of this offensive to let the people of Luo Lin fully appreciate the reputation of my "cyborg"!
After making up his mind, Allen said to his adjutant:
"Give me the order to break camp! March!"
"I want our West Route Army to be the protagonist of this 'Xia Feng' offensive!"
To be continued...
