Chapter 222 Three Armies Coordinated (Part 2)

"Commander, we've arrived at the military camp!" the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage, "the generals of the Eastern Route Army have already come out to greet us!"

"Oh, I see."

Sitting in the carriage, Su Cheng looked a little tired, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then handed the pile of paper in his hand, which was thicker than bricks, to Deng Jiaer next to him.

"Deng Jia'er, keep it safe for me."

"All right."

After handing the pile of battle reports and intelligence to Deng Jiaer for safekeeping, Su Cheng took the knight's sword aside, hung it back on his left waist, and opened the door of the carriage.

After Su Cheng got off the carriage, Willy quickly adjusted his armor, put on his knight sword, and then followed Su Cheng out of the carriage.

After Willy got out of the car immediately after Su Cheng, Alan and Deng Jiaer also got out of the car.

After getting off the carriage, the first thing that caught Su Cheng's eyes was the already darkening sky.

It is already past 18 o'clock in the evening. Although it is summer and the sun sets much later, the sky is still a little dark at this time.

Just when Su Cheng focused his attention on the slightly dark sky above his head——

"See the coach!"

——A chorus of shouts came from the front of the carriage.

After hearing this loud shout, Su Cheng felt that his whole body became more energetic, and the fatigue in his eyes also dissipated a little.

Then, Su Cheng followed the shouts composed of dozens of voices and looked towards the front of the carriage.

I saw a dozen people standing neatly in front of the carriage.

Su Cheng counted, there were 12 people in total.

These 12 people, without exception, all wore neat armor and performed standard military salutes in the direction of the carriage.

No, to be precise, they were all giving a military salute to Su Cheng who had just got off the carriage.

Looking at the two leading people among the 12 people, Su Cheng thought to himself:

The two people standing at the front should be the commanders of the 4th and 8th armies of the Rachel Knights this time.

The 150,000-strong army carrying out the "Xia Feng" offensive was divided into three armies, namely the West Route Army, the Middle Route Army, and the East Route Army.

These three armies each have different tasks. As the main force, the middle army is responsible for the main attack. It goes straight to Lixi City, the important town of the Luolin Empire, attracts the main force of the Luolin Empire to come to the rescue, and then fights with the main force of the Luolin Empire in the wild. decisive battle.

Therefore, as the main offensive center army, it has the heaviest task and the strongest strength, with a total of 60,000 troops.

The West Route Army is responsible for the auxiliary attack and closely cooperates with the Central Route Army. When the Central Route Army is engaged in a decisive battle with the enemy's main force, it launches an attack unexpectedly, cuts off the enemy's main force's retreat, and then flanks the enemy with the Central Route Army. .

The mission of the West Route Army is not easy either. Therefore, the strength of the West Route Army is the second largest, with a full 50,000 people.

According to the original plan, the Western Route Army should only have 50,000 men, but His Majesty Gozewen planned to take advantage of this offensive to see the combat effectiveness of the 3,000 armored warriors trained by Allen, so he asked Allen to These 3,000 armored warriors were also brought to the West Route Army.

Therefore, the total strength of the West Route Army is now somewhat different from the original plan. The total strength of the West Route Army is now 53,000, and the total strength of the Third Army has also changed from 150,000 to 153,000.

Although the number of troops differs somewhat from the original plan, the difference is not significant.

As for the Eastern Route Army, which is the army that Su Cheng is responsible for commanding, its tasks are not as important and difficult as those of the other two route armies.

The task of the Eastern Route Army was to conduct a feint attack.

To put it simply, it is just to attract as many enemy troops as possible to share the pressure of the other two armies.

"As long as we can contain enough of the enemy's troops, it doesn't matter even if the entire army misses an arrow or kills no one."

——This is what the empire's senior officials said to Su Cheng before the expedition.

So, on the way to the southern front of the Empire,

Su Cheng complained to Willy and Alan:

"The task assigned to me by the empire, to put it simply, is for me to lead the east route to the territory of the Luolin Empire for an armed march."

Because the task was the easiest and least important, the East Route Army had the smallest number of troops, only 40,000.

The establishment of the three major knights of the Britannia Empire is the same. They are all composed of "armies", each army has 20,000 people.

The 40,000 troops of the Eastern Route Army were composed of the 4th Army and the 8th Army of the Rachel Knights.

The high-level officials of the empire could be considered conscientious. When they reorganized the 150,000-strong army on the southern front into the 3rd Route Army, they did not reorganize some weak soldiers into the East Route Army just because the task of the East Route Army was the least important. Go to the side.

When heading to the southern front, Su Cheng also browsed in detail the information on the two armies under his command this time.

It was found that the combat effectiveness of the two armies was not weak, and their records were dazzling.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the 4th Army and the 8th Army are both at the forefront of the Rachel Knights.

The people who serve as commanders of the 4th Army and the 8th Army this time are also two very young Double Oak Knights with great potential and talent.

Looking at the two army commanders in front of him who were saluting him respectfully, and the other 10 generals behind them who were also saluting him respectfully, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart:

Life is so fickle. At this time last year, I was just an unknown person who had just been fired by Mr. Falk and was forced to come to Pendragon to make a living.

And now, I have become the general of thousands of troops, participating in a huge offensive against the enemy that will be recorded in history.

At this time last year I was a nobody who was always looked down upon by the other hangers-on at Mr. Falk's house.

And now, in front of me, there are 12 generals of the imperial army saluting me respectfully. Without my order, none of them dared to stop saluting, no one dared to be disrespectful to me, and no one dared to disobey my order.

When he thought of this, Su Cheng suddenly felt proud!

He has never been more grateful than he is now that he agreed to Jacob's request last year and became an imperial knight to fight for his country.

During the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom at the end of last year, because the battle situation was too urgent and it was the first time he served as the supreme commander of such a large-scale army, Su Cheng focused on how to command and manage the troops, and how to Defeat Allen above.

Therefore, there was absolutely no free time or energy to feel the feeling of being the supreme commander of thousands of troops.

But now, the army's mission is not so urgent. It is the first time that Su Cheng feels so seriously and meticulously what it feels like to be the supreme commander of thousands of troops.

Su Cheng now felt that his chest was filled with pride.

I wonder what the scene will be like when I become the supreme commander of an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions, and thousands of generals and knights salute me respectfully.

You should be very excited and happy, right?

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

Su Cheng maintained such a faint smile and waved his hand to indicate to the generals that they no longer need to salute.

"Generals, I have kept you waiting for a long time." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Come on, come with me into the camp. It's time to have dinner now, let's have dinner together and get to know each other by the way. .”

"yes!"

All the generals responded in unison.

Then the generals and Willy, who had been standing behind Su Cheng since just now, surrounded Su Cheng and walked toward the military camp together.

Because Su Cheng had his back to Deng Jiaer from the beginning, he didn't see Deng Jiaer's expression.

He didn't see the complicated expression on Deng Jiaer's face after he got off the carriage and dozens of generals saluted him.

Ever since Su Cheng got off the car and dozens of generals saluted him respectfully and said hello, Deng Jiaer had been looking at Su Cheng's back with eyes filled with many kinds of emotions.

Deng Jiaer looked at Su Cheng's back with envy, jealousy, confusion, and pain...

It wasn't until Su Cheng was surrounded by the generals and left that Alan, who was standing next to Deng Jiaer, noticed something strange about Deng Jiaer.

"Deng Jiaer." Alan asked Deng Jiaer in a concerned tone, "What's wrong with you? I feel like your expression is weird..."

"...No, it's nothing..."

Deng Jiaer shook his head gently while saying this.

"Let's leave quickly, Alan. If we don't leave, sir, they will be gone."

After saying that, Deng Jiaer tightened the battle report and intelligence that Su Cheng had just handed her for safekeeping in her arms, opened her legs, and took the lead in walking in the direction where Su Cheng and the others left.

Looking at Deng Jiaer's leaving figure, Alan frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice:

"Deng Jiaer...did something happen..."
