Su Cheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, constantly saying in his heart: Calm down and think carefully.

After chanting this sentence five times in his mind, Su Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself:

Put yourself in Allen's position. What would I do if I were Allen?

If I were Allen, the army in hand would be far inferior to the enemy in both quantity and quality. The only powerful force in hand would be the 4,000 armored holy cavalry brought from the Frankish Empire.

The enemy is eager to rescue Heron City, and our army has come from afar, so neither of us wants to engage in a war of attrition, but from a macro perspective, the enemy is obviously more anxious than I am! If the two sides remain in a stalemate, then

Heron City will have to eat people, so the enemy will definitely be eager to launch an attack, defeat our army, and then rescue Heron City!

Under such circumstances, my best strategy would be to hold on to the east bank of the Ilon Ferry and let the enemy attack first. After draining the enemy's energy, I would then look for opportunities to launch an attack.

No matter what I think, if I were Allen, I shouldn't be the first to launch an attack! In this case, our army's biggest advantage now, the Fuhe natural barrier, would be useless.

No one with any sense would do this. Has Allen really lost his mind this time?

Um?

etc!

Since Allen's strategy of crossing the river to attack us head-on is irrational no matter how you think about it, could Allen actually do this on purpose?

Could it be that Allen didn't really intend for the army to attack us head-on, and the reason why he gathered ships and troops at the ferry was just to confuse us?

But what is his purpose of pretending to confuse us?

Are you planning to attract our attention from the front and then send surprise troops to surprise us?

No, this is impossible no matter how hard you think about it.

Coach Nicholas said that only this part of the Fu River is suitable for crossing the river. The amount of water in other places is too large and the current is too fast to cross the river. Allen should not be able to cross the river at other places in the Fu River and then take a roundabout way.

Our flank comes to surprise us.

It is even more impossible to arrange an ambush on the west bank of the Fu River in advance, and then wait for an opportunity to surprise us when the war begins. We have actually sent a large number of scouts to search the surrounding area, and we have not found any ambush placed on the west bank in advance.

So, what exactly is Allen going to do?

…

Su Cheng felt that his thoughts were completely stuck.

He vaguely felt that he still lacked a key point that he hadn't thought of yet. As long as he grasped this key point, he could figure out what Allen was going to do, but no matter how he continued to think, he could not grasp this.

The most critical points.

Alyssa glanced at Su Cheng, who was thinking seriously and intently.

Su Cheng, who was concentrating and thinking deeply, now had a strange temperament about him. This temperament can only be possessed by people who have entered a serious state.

This temperament makes Su Cheng look more attractive than usual now.

Looking at Su Cheng who was in a serious state, Alyssa couldn't help but think to herself: I heard some friends say before that when a person is most handsome, that's when they work seriously. It seems that this sentence is not wrong.

This Su Cheng looks much more attractive than usual now.

At this moment, Alyssa suddenly remembered the competition between Su Cheng and Enli that she overheard last night, and the punishment that Enli would receive if he lost.

Alyssa felt her cheeks getting hot again.

After feeling her cheeks getting hot, Alyssa raised her hand and patted her cheeks lightly.

At the same time, I said to myself in my heart:

Calm down, Alyssa, this is probably just you overthinking. Su Cheng's usual behavior doesn't seem like he likes me at all, so it's just you overthinking. Don't feel shy anymore. Really, why am I

I still can't change my shyness...

Su Cheng, who was still thinking seriously, didn't notice the strangeness in Alyssa now. He was still immersed in thinking, thinking about what Allen was going to do.

At this moment, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Deng Jiaer and Alan.

"The weather is really getting colder." Deng Jiaer took a breath and said.

"Yes, it's already autumn and winter after all. When we return to Pendragon, let's buy a few stoves to put at home," Alan answered, "There will be one room for each of the four of us."

"It is said that the amount of water in the rivers outside Pendragon will decrease after autumn and winter, and the water will become much shallower. Let's go catch fish together then."

"Going to play in the water in the middle of winter? Are you okay, Deng Jiaer? Is your body temperature still within the normal range? Hasn't your body temperature gotten higher?"

"It hasn't gotten any higher! When I used to live at home in North Munster, my sister and I would always go to the river to catch fish in the winter! It was so fun!"

"Really? Then I'll give it a try when I get the chance."

…

Su Cheng, who was listening to the chat between Alan and Deng Jiaer, suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind!

In winter, the river becomes shallower...

Dry season!

Su Cheng instantly felt that the fog that originally enveloped his brain suddenly dispersed, and he suddenly became enlightened.

But while feeling suddenly enlightened, Su Cheng also felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If the guess he just made in a flash is correct, then they are in danger now!

Su Cheng was about to drive the horse under his crotch to go to the phalanx of the 7th Army in front to find the coach Nicholas and tell Nicholas his guess, when he suddenly felt a small stone next to the left front hoof of the horse under his crotch.

It started to vibrate naturally.

Then, Su Cheng felt that not only this small stone was shaking, but also the surrounding small stones were shaking!

Not only that, he also heard some strange sounds.

There was a sound like thunder, and the sound was getting louder and louder!

Not only Su Cheng sensed the strangeness around him, but Alyssa, Alan, and Deng Jiaer also sensed the strangeness. After Alan and Deng Jiaer sensed the strangeness, they also ended the chat and began to look around.

He got up and looked for the source of this strangeness.

Soon, the four of them perceived that the bursts of thunder-like sounds were coming from the left side of the phalanx almost at the same time, so the four of them turned their heads to the left almost at the same time and looked at the skyline on the left.
Chapter completed!
