Chapter 74 Su Cheng and Allen - The Showdown Begins!
The Britannia Imperial Army formed several neat formations and marched northward to attack the Carolingian Kingdom!
The soldiers of the Britannia Empire, except for the knights, all wore black armor.
Therefore, if you look down from the air, the formations of the Britannia Imperial Army look like black pythons, ferocious pythons that are spitting out messages and peeping at their prey.
After Su Cheng successfully took over the command of the entire army, he issued several orders in succession.
The first order was immediately sent to the entire army. Because Nicholas was seriously injured, although he saved his life, he was too seriously injured and was not suitable to continue to command the entire army. Therefore, the highest commander of the entire army was now replaced by the former deputy commander of the 10th Army.
Army commander, new knight Su Cheng.
The reason why Nicholas's death was concealed was to stabilize the morale and morale of the entire army. If all the soldiers in the army knew that the leader was dead, it would greatly affect the morale and morale of the army.
The reason why he did not hide the change of coach and openly told the entire army that the new coach was a new knight was Su Cheng's intention.
He wanted to deliberately leak this information to Allen.
Su Cheng wants to engage in psychological warfare with Allen.
Let Allen know that the Britannia Imperial Army now has a new coach, and this new coach is a little-known new knight.
The purpose is to make Allen have various questions:
Why did the Britannia Imperial Army want an unknown new knight to serve as its commander?
Is this information unreliable? Did the Britannia Imperial Army deliberately send false information?
Could it be that a new Laurel Knight is being appointed as the new coach, but in fact, it is secretly still being commanded by Nicholas who is not dead or someone else?
Etc., etc.
Su Cheng deliberately leaked the news that the army had replaced him as commander-in-chief, in order to make Allen have various doubts in his mind, so as to interfere with Allen's judgment to a certain extent.
Although Su Cheng and Allen have not officially met each other to fight, the invisible battle between the two has already begun!
…
At this time, the east bank of Ilon Ferry.
The main camp of the Carolingian Army.
Just now, Allen urgently summoned all senior generals in the army and started an emergency meeting.
In this urgent meeting, Allen told them bluntly that the Britannia Imperial Army had now marched northward towards the Carolingian Kingdom.
Before that, Allen had also thought carefully about whether to conceal the news, and then took advantage of the Britannia Imperial Army to go to the Carolingian Kingdom, and immediately led the 60,000 troops stationed at the Ilon Ferry to turn back.
Heron City, use all your strength to defeat Heron City, and then go to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom.
But after thinking for a while, Allen rejected the plan.
Because it's simply impossible.
After all, Heron City is the capital of a country. It has a tall city and sufficient defensive weapons. He has tried to attack Heron City several times before, but undoubtedly failed.
With the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom troops in hand, even if all 80,000 people were defeated, it might not be possible to capture Heron City.
If we want to capture Heron City, we can only use a "war of soldiers and food" to surround Heron City and starve it to death.
Therefore, there is no way to quickly attack Heron City and then turn to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom.
Moreover, Allen knew that this information could not be hidden. After the king of the Carolingian Kingdom discovered that the army of the Britannia Empire was rushing towards him, he must have sent someone crazy to send an order for the entire army to go north for rescue.
Therefore, no matter how hard you try to hide it, you will definitely not be able to hide it in the end.
All the senior generals of the Carolingian Army couldn't help but take a breath after learning that the Britannia Imperial Army was heading north to attack their motherland.
"Commander!" a general said anxiously, "What should we do now?"
Allen pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "Let the 20,000 soldiers who are still surrounding Heron City lift the siege and come here immediately. After gathering the army, the whole army will go north to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom."
After hearing Allen's words, everyone in the tent, including Er, was shocked.
"Commander!" someone said, "Are we just going to give up on the siege of Heron City? We finally reached the capital of the Kingdom of Lunde, and if we continue to besiege, Heron City will soon run out of food and be destroyed!
Are we just going to let the upcoming victory slip away..."
Before the man finished speaking, Allen punched the table in front of him, abruptly stopping the man's words.
"Do you think I am willing?!" Allen roared, "Haven't you seen it yet? We have no choice at all! If we choose to continue to besiege Heron City, the result will be Britannia
The Ya Empire captured your motherland! And you captured the Kingdom of Lund! Is such a result meaningful?! This kind of battle where the two sides exchanged venues is completely meaningless! We have no choice but to immediately assemble the entire army and rescue the Carolingian King
Abroad, there is no choice at all!”
"So, General Allen," Er said suddenly, "can we continue to let the 20,000 troops still surrounding Heron City continue to surround Heron City? We will only use the 60,000 troops here to stop Britannia.
Imperial Army?”
"Can't."
Allen shook his head without hesitation.
"Commander, why?" asked a general of the Carolingian Kingdom Army, "Didn't our great victory yesterday only be won by our 60,000 people here?"
"It seems that you don't understand how you won yesterday's battle at all..." Allen said lightly.
"Yesterday's battle was a surprise attack. The 60,000 troops were just suspects. The main attack was carried out by my 4,000 armored holy cavalry."
"In other words, if you just confuse the enemy, you don't need to bring too many soldiers. Therefore, I left 20,000 soldiers to continue to surround Heron City, and only brought 60,000 soldiers."
"But this situation is different now! I have no idea where we will start the battle and what tactics we will use if we go north to intercept the Britannia Imperial Army. Therefore, in this unknown situation, naturally it is
We must gather all the strength we can to improve our chances of winning!"
"Don't forget, although the Britannian Imperial Army suffered tens of thousands of casualties in yesterday's battle, the Britannian Imperial Army still has nearly 90,000 troops. We are still weaker in numbers.
On the other hand, when your own army is not numerically superior, you still want to disperse your troops. Isn’t this looking for death?!"
After hearing Allen's angry rebuke, the generals, including Er, could not help but shrink their necks and stopped talking.
"Do you have any more questions?!"
Allen's roar filled the entire tent.
The generals of the Carolingian Army looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word.
"Since there is no problem, why not act quickly! Go and ask the 20,000 troops who are still surrounding Heron City to come over immediately! We must be quick now! Stop the Britannia Imperial Army as soon as possible! Your current
Our motherland is in a major crisis! Please cheer me up, one or two of you!"
"yes!!"
The generals of the Carolingian Army immediately stood up straight and shouted in response. Then they all filed out of the tent and began to move quickly.
The Carolingian Kingdom's army quickly began to move up and down.
The messengers rushed to Heron City as quickly as possible to deliver the order.
Generals at all levels returned to their respective units for mobilization.
The chariot of the Carolingian Kingdom Army, which had just rested for a short time, started to rotate again, and the wheels began to roll again.
Chapter completed!
