Chapter 229 Alyssa’s Great Victory!
July 12, 290 AD of the Britannia Empire.
13:15 pm.
On the southern front, the main force of the Central Army, the commander's camp.
In the main camp of the main force of the Central Army, the knights led by the coach Albert were gathered around a map placed on a long table.
"Alyssa did a great job." Albert said in a praising tone.
It has been 10 days since the "Xia Feng" offensive was launched.
Ten days ago, Alyssa served as the vanguard of the entire Central Army, leading 7,000 cavalry to clear the way.
And Albert led the main force, following closely behind Alyssa.
During these 10 days, Alyssa led 7,000 cavalry 400 miles deep into enemy territory.
Encountered two waves of enemy troops, one with 4,000 people and the other with 5,000 people.
Without exception, these two waves of enemy troops were defeated by the vanguard force led by Alyssa.
Now, Alyssa's vanguard force is only 200 miles away from the apparent target of their middle route army, Lixi City.
Of course, the goal of their center route army was not to capture Lixi City from the beginning.
The real goal of their middle route army is to defeat the main force of Luo Lin's army! Destroy and injure the effective forces of the Luo Lin Empire to the greatest extent possible!
The reason why the troops were directed towards Lixi City, the important town of the Luo Lin Empire, was to attract the main force of the Luo Lin Army, and then engage in a decisive battle in the wild with the main force of the Luo Lin Army.
The goal of the "Xia Feng" offensive is to kill as much as possible the effective forces of the Luolin Empire and destroy the war potential of the Luolin Empire, not to capture the city.
Therefore, Albert and others have no interest in Xicheng here. They only hope to attract the main force of Luo Lin's army here as soon as possible.
The knights of the middle army, headed by Albert, are now gathering at the coach's camp to further discuss the next battle plan.
"Coach."
A middle-aged knight standing next to Albert said:
"Do we still need to let Deputy Commander Alyssa lead the vanguard force to continue to advance? Deputy Commander Alyssa's vanguard force has already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. If Deputy Commander Alyssa's vanguard force is allowed to continue to advance, I'm afraid Ai Deputy Commander Lisa’s vanguard will be in danger.”
After listening to the middle-aged knight's words, Albert raised the index finger and thumb of his right hand, touched his chin, and narrowed his eyes intently on the map in front of him.
After a long while, Albert said:
"What are the battle losses of Alyssa's vanguard? How much baggage is left?"
As soon as Albert finished speaking, another middle-aged knight immediately replied:
"210 people were slightly injured, 21 people were seriously injured, 146 people died, and the total number of casualties was 377 people. The baggage weight is still enough for Deputy Commander Alyssa to advance for another 4 days at the speed of advancement in the past 10 days."
"Four days..."
Albert murmured, and then said loudly:
"Send a messenger and give the order to Alyssa, asking her to continue advancing towards Lixi City today and tomorrow. After tomorrow, she will stop advancing and wait for the main force to join her."
"yes!"
A young knight standing on the outermost edge of the knights responded loudly, then immediately turned and left, walked out of the commander's camp, and started to prepare to send out messengers to inform Alyssa of the new military order.
"Damn..." Albert, who was looking at the map in front of him, slowly frowned, and then cursed, "Where are the Barr and his main troops hiding?"
Long before the "Xia Feng" offensive officially started, Albert and the others had discovered their opponent in the middle route army, who was the head coach of the 250,000-strong Luo Lin Army - Bard de Lu.
Baal, who is known as the strongest general of the Rollin Empire at present, and Albert, the leader of the Rachel Knights who specializes in dealing with the Rollin Empire, are also old rivals.
Over the past ten years, there have been countless confrontations between the two.
In this countless confrontations,
Bart basically never defeated Albert once.
Therefore, after learning that the opponent of this "Xia Feng" offensive was this Barr again, Albert almost laughed out loud.
There is nothing more satisfying than finding out that your opponent is someone who has always been much weaker than you.
Therefore, after learning that Barr personally led the army to deal with his center army, Albert was always in a good mood. He felt that the victory of the "Xia Feng" offensive was imminent.
However, as time went by, Albert's good mood gradually disappeared.
Albert now felt himself getting more and more irritable day by day.
Because no matter how deep their center army went into enemy territory, Barr and his main force just didn't show up.
Although Alyssa's vanguard force has so far defeated 2 waves of enemy troops totaling 9,000 people, such a small number of people is completely insignificant to the main force of Luo Lin's army.
The main force of Luo Lin's army has not yet appeared, so their plan of the Central Route Army to "attract the main force of the enemy's army and then conduct a decisive battle in the field to annihilate the enemy's army" cannot be implemented.
Thinking of this, Albert couldn't help but feel irritated.
Just as Albert was lying on the map, squinting his eyes and looking at the map in front of him, rubbing his chin with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, thinking about what to do next to successfully draw out the main force of Barr and Luo Lin's army, the tent Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away.
"stop!"
——The voices of the guards responsible for guarding the commander's camp came from outside the tent.
"What are you here for?!"
The voices of the guards outside the tent were heard again inside the tent.
As soon as the guards' voices fell, an eager and somewhat excited male voice rang out:
"I am the messenger of Deputy Commander Alyssa's vanguard force! Deputy Commander Alyssa has a huge victory and important information to convey to Commander Albert! Let me in quickly! This is my identification!"
Big news and important information?
After hearing these two words that cannot be ignored, Albert raised his eyebrows, and then immediately shouted outside the tent:
"Guards! Have you completed the identity verification?"
"Verification completed! He is indeed one of ours!"
"Let him in quickly!"
"yes!"
call!
The curtain of the coach's camp was opened, and then a strong man with a dusty face and a face that couldn't hide his joy strode into the coach's camp.
"Meet the Master and the Knights!"
Although the man looked very anxious, he still did not forget the etiquette.
After entering the coach's camp, he immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted Albert and others.
"You just said that Alyssa had great news and important information to convey to me." Albert asked lightly, "What kind of good news and information is it?"
"Return to the commander!" Although the strong man tried his best to hide it, the excitement in his tone could not be concealed no matter how hard the strong man tried to hide it. "Deputy Commander Alyssa led the vanguard and encountered the enemy just yesterday. Coach Barr and his main troops! A total of 90,000 troops!"
What? !
Albert was shocked, but his long career as a knight had already allowed him to develop a strong determination.
Therefore, even after hearing such shocking news, he still maintained his normal expression.
Just when Albert was about to ask the messenger whether Alyssa and her vanguard had been discovered by Barr's 90,000 main force, the messenger continued loudly in a tone full of excitement. said:
"After encountering the enemy's main force, Deputy Commander Alyssa bravely led the vanguard to launch an active attack on the enemy's main force! And successfully defeated the enemy's main force!!"
"What?!!"
After hearing this shocking and horrifying news, Albert, who had remained calm, immediately opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth slightly, and exclaimed.
Even Albert, who had such a strong determination, could no longer remain calm and calm after hearing the news.
Not only Albert, but also the large group of knights surrounding Albert. Like Albert, their eyes were wide open and they looked at the messenger who was still kneeling on the ground in disbelief. .
