Chapter 351 Pincer Attack
August 12, 290 AD in the Britannia Empire.
Day 13 of the Battle of Feihai.
8:12 in the morning.
Feihai Plain.
Naturally, the Luo Lin Army would not simply let go of the combined forces of Albert and Allen.
After successfully repelling the Britannia army yesterday, Barr immediately led his army in pursuit.
As early as late last night, Barr led his army to catch up to the camp of the Britannia Army. However, Barr did not intend to fight at night. After a day of fighting and pursuit, although Barr's soldiers were still very excited, no matter what
Excited, people will always get tired.
Considering that the soldiers under his command were also very tired, Barr did not directly kill them and launch a night attack after catching up with Albert and Allen's troops late last night.
Instead, they camped and rested at a safe distance from the main camp of Albert and Allen's troops.
The two armies thus spent a very peaceful night.
Until today, the morning of August 12th.
The war resumes!
As soon as the sun rose above the horizon, soldiers from both armies quickly took action and began to integrate their formations.
Albert and Allen, standing side by side on the watchtower, silently looked at the Luo Lin army in the distance who was slowly integrating their formation.
"Look at the formation of Luo Lin's army, that Barr is planning to attack with his entire army and use a pincer attack to deal with us..." Allen, expressionless, said in a low voice to Albert beside him.
"Ah, yes..." Albert responded in a deep voice, then sighed, and then continued, "I hope the morale of Luo Lin's army will be slightly lowered today, and I hope our defensive formation can stop them.
Attack..."
The difference from before is that the Britannia army formed a defensive formation.
Previously, the Britannia Army had always been in an attack formation, and had always maintained a fierce offensive against the Luo Lin Army.
But now, Albert and Allen know that if they confront Luo Lin's army head-on with the current state of their troops, they will be seeking death. Therefore, in today's battle, the two of them did not arrange an attack formation, but arranged a
Get into defensive formation.
Today's battle has only one purpose, and that is to hold on! Block the attack of Luo Lin's army!
"Albert..." Allen sighed lightly, and then said in a helpless tone, "Are we really not going to withdraw our troops? Do we really want to wait until Su Cheng comes to rescue us? I'm going to say something ugly first, although I'm also right
Su Cheng's military ability is highly praised, but I don't think he can defeat Mayin City in such a short time and successfully reach Feihai Plain before tomorrow morning."
Speaking of this, Allen paused for a moment, and then emphasized his tone:
"With all due respect! We are doing useless work now! We are wasting our precious time and military rations!"
In the military meeting last night, Alyssa and Allen had a very heated debate.
Allen believed that it was still unknown whether Su Cheng could come over, so he asked the entire army to withdraw troops now and return to the country.
Alyssa also refused to give in. Alyssa firmly believed that Su Cheng could create a miracle and rush to the Battle of Feihai to support them before their army's rations were exhausted, so she asked the entire army to stay in the Battle of Feihai and follow them.
Luo Lin's army fought to the death until Su Cheng came to support them.
As long as Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army can rush over, this dead game on the Feihai Plain can be revived.
There was a final vote at the meeting as to who should be listened to.
In the end, Alyssa's idea defeated Allen's idea by a slight advantage, and the entire army continued to stay on the Feihai Plain until Su Cheng led his army to come for reinforcements!
The big reason why Alyssa was able to defeat Allen was because of Albert.
Albert cast a very crucial vote for Alyssa last night. Without Albert's very crucial vote, Alyssa would not have been able to win against Allen.
Therefore, Allen's question is actually asking Allen in disguise: Why do you support Alyssa's claim?
As soon as Allen finished his question, the corners of Albert's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and then said:
"It's strange to say that I actually don't agree with Alyssa's idea of continuing the Battle of Feihai."
"But, after seeing Alyssa's firm eyes, I changed my mind for some reason."
"I decided to take a gamble. I bet on Alyssa's trust in Su Cheng! I bet on Su Cheng being able to get here in time!"
"Hmph!" Allen snorted in displeasure, then continued, "Ridiculous!"
After angrily scolding, Allen folded his arms and said nothing.
After Albert glanced helplessly at Allen beside him, he moved his gaze back to the front.
"Okay, Allen, I don't feel dissatisfied no matter how much I do. Since we have decided to stay on the Feihai Plain and fight Luo Lin's army until the end, let's not think about regrets or change our decision. We should concentrate on fighting the enemy.
Come on! It seems that Luo Lin’s army is about to form a formation and attack."
"Humph, I know it without you having to tell me!"
…
Although today's Luo Lin Army is no longer as high-spirited and as terrifying as yesterday due to the passage of time, the morale of Luo Lin's Army is still far higher than that of the current Britannia Army.
The Luo Lin Army, which had formed a formation, blew the charge horn, and then attacked the Britannia Army, which had also formed a defensive formation!
Compared with yesterday, Luo Lin's army's attack today was undoubtedly much more organized.
Yesterday's Luo Lin Army was just an ordinary assault without any technical content.
Today's Luo Lin Army used a pincer attack, dividing the army into two parts and attacking the Britannia Army's formation from two directions like a pair of giant pincers.
Barr's deployment can be said to be quite clever. He made full use of the advantage that their Rollin Army had far more troops than the Britannia Army.
Because a pincer attack requires spreading one's own forces, it generally requires far more troops than the enemy's in order to execute this attack perfectly.
This is suitable for the Rollin Army, which has far more troops than the Britannia Army.
Firstly, because it has far more troops than the Britannia Army, even if it is divided into two parts, any part of the army can have very considerable strength and combat effectiveness.
Secondly, using this pincer attack can force the Britannia Army to also divide its troops into two parts to meet their attack. This can make the Britannia Army, which is already weak in strength, even more divided.
Dispersed, the combat power becomes weaker.
When Albert and Allen saw Barr planning to carry out a pincer attack, their expressions darkened in unison.
Chapter completed!
