Chapter 224 The Leisurely Eastern Route Army

"As expected of the southern country, which is rich in watermelons! It tastes really good!"

Su Cheng said in a praising tone while nibbling on the watermelon at hand.

In the recent "Spring Awakening" offensive, Iser not only successfully destroyed the northern defense system of the Rollin Empire, but also collected a large amount of the Rollin Empire's baggage.

This large amount of baggage was originally hoarded by the Luolin Empire on the northern defense line in preparation for the "Spring Counterattack" against the Britannia Empire.

And now, under the Britannia Empire's nearly complete "Spring Awakening" offensive, not only has the Luolin Empire's "Spring Counteroffensive" plan been completely aborted, but even nearly 70% of the baggage originally prepared for this plan has been destroyed. Seized by Iser.

The huge amount of supplies seized from the Rolin Empire was one of the reasons why the Britannia Empire dared to launch a new large-scale offensive immediately after the "Spring Awakening" offensive.

The large amount of baggage raised previously was consumed by more than half during the "Spring Awakening" offensive that lasted for more than two months.

If it had not captured the large amount of baggage from the Luolin Empire, the Britannia Empire would definitely not dare to launch another large-scale offensive against the enemy in the short term.

Now, the 150,000 troops carrying out the "Xia Feng" offensive are eating, drinking, and using the captured baggage of the Luolin Empire.

If the Rollin people knew that the Brittanians were eating their military rations and using their weapons to beat them, the Rollin people might be so aggrieved that they would vomit blood.

Among the large amounts of baggage seized, in addition to some common materials such as medicines, weapons, and military rations, there were also some "luxury goods" specially used to reward the troops.

For example - watermelon.

Although Su Cheng didn't know what the market price of watermelons was in the southern territories of the Britannia Empire and the Luolin Empire, Su Cheng guessed that in the southern territories of the Britannia Empire and the Luolin Empire, watermelons must be the most expensive. Cheaper.

After all, the southern territories of the Luolin Empire and the Britannia Empire were rich in watermelons. When he came from Pendragon to the southern front line and passed through the southern territories of the empire, Su Cheng saw a large field of watermelons.

Watermelon is a very expensive fruit in Pendragon.

Because in the entire empire, only the southern territory is suitable for growing watermelons, and other places are not suitable for growing watermelons.

Therefore, all the watermelons sold in Pendragon were shipped from the southern territories of the empire.

The high shipping costs and management fees have made the price of watermelons extremely high.

Pendragon's watermelon is expensive and not very tasty.

Because the transportation time was too long on the long road from the southern territory of the empire to Pendragon, the watermelons were no longer fresh by the time they were transported to Pendragon.

Therefore, the natural taste is not very good.

After discovering a large number of watermelons in the captured Luolin Empire's baggage, the people in charge of logistics decided to make a big move after discussion! Send all these captured watermelons to the military camps of the 150,000 troops on the front line, and let them eat watermelons to their heart's content!

Anyway, these watermelons belong to the enemy, so I don’t feel bad about using them at all.

Moreover, if these watermelons are not disposed of quickly, they will not be very fresh, so the people in charge of logistics transported this massive amount of watermelons to the military camps of the Western, Central and Eastern Route Army.

Therefore, Su Cheng didn't know what the current situation of the other two armies was. Anyway, Su Cheng knew that in the past two days, their East Route Army had had a great time eating watermelon.

It was also the first time for Su Cheng to eat such sweet and delicious watermelon in this other world.

It was also the first time for the 40,000 soldiers of the East Route Army to enjoy watermelon so much. After finishing a meal, everyone would be given enough watermelon to taste.

Thanks to these delicious watermelons, the morale of their Eastern Route Army has improved slightly.

After eating the last piece of watermelon in his hand, Su Cheng threw the remaining watermelon shell on the table.

He grabbed a towel next to him and wiped his hands.

Su Cheng wiped his hands and said to Willy, who was still standing in front of his desk:

"Okay, Willy, don't stand in front of me. I've finished eating the watermelon, and you're still standing in front of me. Go out. Today, our Eastern Route Army will eat well just like we did in the past two days. Just melon.”

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Willy showed a wry smile, and then said to Su Cheng:

"Coach, our Eastern Route Army has indeed completed our strategic mission, but are we really just going to camp here forever?"

The Luo Lin Empire has been sending a large number of scouts and spies to collect information for a while.

While the Luolin Empire sent a large number of people to check for information, the Britannia Empire naturally also sent a large number of people to check for information.

Not long ago, the Britannia Army successfully detected the deployment of the 250,000-strong army of the Rollin Empire.

The head coach of Luo Lin's army, Bard de Ru, personally led the main force to deal with Albert's center army.

As for the East Route Army and the West Route Army, Baer sent two troops to deal with them respectively.

The person responsible for dealing with Allen's Western Route Army was Denis de Dupont, the deputy commander of Luo Lin's Army.

The person responsible for dealing with Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army was Roger de Sanchez, a young general of the Luo Lin Army.

How many people did Barr, the head coach of the Luo Lin Army, bring to deal with Albert? How many people did Deni, the deputy head coach of the Luo Lin Army, bring to deal with Allen? These are all specific information that have been found.

However, specific information has been found on how many people Luo Xie brought to deal with Su Cheng.

This young general named Luo Xie brought an army of 60,000 to deal with Su Cheng's 40,000 Eastern Route Army.

When Su Cheng received this information a few days ago, Su Cheng almost laughed so hard that his mouth twisted.

Because before the "Xia Feng" offensive officially started, their Eastern Route Army's strategic mission had already been completed!

The mission of their Eastern Route Army was just to conduct a feint attack and attract enough enemy troops.

Now, the task of their East Route Army has been completed. Their 40,000 East Route Army has successfully held back 60,000 enemy troops.

40,000 can hold back 60,000, which is a pretty good result. Su Cheng is very satisfied with this result.

Now there are only 190,000 enemy troops left to deal with Albert and Allen. It can be said that the pressure has been reduced a lot.

To be honest, even if Su Cheng ordered the entire Eastern Route Army to "take root in place" and stay put until the end of the "Xia Feng" offensive, the senior officials of the Britannia Empire would not say anything about Su Cheng.

Because the mission they assigned to Su Cheng was just to feign an attack and hold back enough enemy troops.

Now, Su Cheng has completed this task and has held back enough enemy troops. Therefore, even if Su Cheng stands still and does not fire an arrow, the empire's senior officials will not say anything to him.

After listening to Willy's questioning, Su Cheng's lips slightly raised, and then he said to Willy in a helpless tone:

"Willy, my good adjutant, although it is a good thing that you are full of fighting spirit and eager to fight, you should not be reckless."

"The reason why I tell the entire army to stand still and continue to eat watermelons is not because our Eastern Route Army has completed its mission, so I want to be lazy."

"What is the most important thing in a war? Logistics and intelligence!"

"Our current supply line is very stable and the baggage is sufficient, so there is no need to worry about logistics."

"But what we lack most now is information!"

"The information we know now is that a young general named Luo Xie came with 60,000 people to deal with our Eastern Route Army."

"Where are these 60,000 people now? How are the defense lines deployed? What kind of person is this Luo Xie and what is his fighting style? We don't know anything about it now."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng's tone gradually became serious, and his expression gradually became more solemn.

"When I, Su Cheng, fight, I pay the most attention to intelligence and logistics. If I don't have enough intelligence, I won't start a fight rashly."

"So I'm not telling the entire army to stand still just to be lazy. I'm waiting for more information from the scouts and spies."

"In a few days, more information will come from the scouts and spies. I am waiting for this time. After collecting more information, I will slowly think about the battle plan."

"So Willy, do you understand?"

After listening to Su Cheng's words, Willy's face showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I understand! Coach! It turns out that the coach is so far-sighted! Compared with you, coach, I am still too superficial!"

After seeing Willy understand, Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"Well, it's good that you understand. Okay, you can go out quickly. I also have some personal things to do. If there is any new information from the scouts and spies, I must do it as soon as possible and as quickly as possible. Hand it to me."

"yes!"

"Also, help me take away this trash and this plate on your way out."

"yes!"

Willy responded loudly and finished the military salute. With very deft hands and feet, he took away the remaining watermelon shells and plates on Su Cheng's table, and then quickly left the coach's camp.

In the huge coaching camp, Su Cheng was the only one left again.

After watching Willy leave, Su Cheng had a wry smile on his face.

Later, Su Cheng took out a book and a large pile of paper from under the table.

On the cover of the book, there are four square Chinese characters written - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

After opening the "Zizhi Tongjian", Su Cheng smoothed the large pile of paper and took out the pen and ink from the side.

Su Cheng also brought "Zizhi Tongjian" here.

Currently, in Su Cheng's mind, nothing is more important than the translation of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

Therefore, even though he was sent to participate in the "Xia Feng" offensive, Su Cheng still brought several copies of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and a large amount of paper and pen and ink, intending to use some fragmentary information during the march and in the army. During the time, I continued to translate "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

After dipping the quill in his hand into ink, Su Cheng chuckled a few times while looking at the tip of the pen that was dripping ink.

Later, Su Cheng said to himself in a voice that only he could hear:

"Sorry, Willy, all the big words I just said were actually secondary reasons."

"The main reason why I tell the whole army to stand still and continue to eat melons is actually - I want to be lazy."

“Now that there is nothing to fight and nothing to do, it is most suitable for me to continue translating Zizhi Tongjian.”

After that, Su Cheng maintained the weird smile on his face and gently scraped off the excess ink on the tip of the pen on the mouth of the ink bottle.

Then he leaned over the white paper and the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and continued to translate "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".
