Chapter 232 Crying Deng Jiaer (Part 1)
July 12, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
22:46 pm.
Britannia Army, Eastern Route Army position, commander's camp.
There were only three people left in the huge commander's camp of the East Route Army.
They are Deng Jiaer who has already gone to bed, Alan who is about to go to bed, and Su Cheng who has not yet gone to bed.
Su Cheng was sitting behind a long table at the northernmost end of the coach's camp, carefully browsing the latest information sent back by the scouts in his hand.
In the past few days, the scouts finally found out the deployment of the 60,000 Luolin Army that was confronting their East Route Army!
The piece of paper in Su Cheng's hand records exactly the deployment of the 60,000 troops.
After reading the paper in his hand that recorded the deployment of the 60,000 Luo Lin Army, Su Cheng put down the paper in his hand, and then whispered to himself:
"It seems that this Luo Xie is planning to conduct passive defense..."
After talking to himself like this, Su Cheng took out a map from under the table, and then unfolded the map on the table in front of him.
After unfolding the map on the table, Su Cheng took out a few small black squares and a few small white squares from one side.
Each small black square symbolizes 10,000 Britannia troops.
The Eastern Route Army now has 40,000 troops. So Su Cheng placed four small black squares not far from the north bank of the Shunau River.
——It symbolizes the Eastern Route Army currently stationed on the north bank of the Shunuo River, not very far from the Shunuo River.
Later, Su Cheng took back the piece of paper that had been placed aside just now and recorded the current deployment of the 60,000 Luolin Army, and then arranged several small white squares in his hand based on the content displayed on it.
According to intelligence, Luo Xie, the commander of the 60,000 Luo Lin Army, divided his 60,000 troops into five armies.
These five armies were commanded by Luo Xie himself and his four young deputy commanders.
Luo Xie sent three of the armies, totaling 50,000 people, to the north bank of the Shunau River to build a defense line against Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army.
Simeon, the deputy commander, commanded 10,000 men and was stationed in the west on the north bank of the Shunau River.
Each small white square symbolizes Luo Lin's army of 10,000 people.
So Su Cheng picked up a small white cube and placed it on the west side of the north bank of the Shunau River.
Deputy Commander Ode, commanding 20,000 people, was stationed in the middle of the north bank of the Shunau River.
Su Cheng picked up two small white cubes and placed them in the middle of the north bank of the Shunuo River.
Deputy Commander Gil, commanding 20,000 men, was stationed in the east of the north bank of the Shunau River.
Su Cheng picked up two small white cubes again and placed them on the east side of the north bank of the Shunuo River.
Deputy Marshal Eugene, commanded 5,000 men, guarding the city of Leer on the south bank of the Shunau River. Judging from the location of Leer City, this city should be a transit station for the three armies transporting their baggage to the north bank of the Shunau River. .
And this Ou Ren specially commanded 5,000 people to guard here and guard this baggage transfer station.
Su Cheng took out a few smaller white squares from the side.
These smaller white squares symbolize the 5,000 Luo Lin Army.
Su Cheng held the smaller white square and placed it on the small dot on the map marked with the words "Lyle City" on the south bank of the Shunau River.
As for the coach Luo Xie, he led the last 5,000 people and was stationed in Mayin City, which was further south from Lyle City.
After displaying the deployment status of the 60,000 Luo Lin Army on this map, Su Cheng began to look at the map in front of him intently.
After staring at the map in front of him for a while, Su Cheng slowly frowned.
"These three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunuo River are really well deployed..." Su Cheng murmured.
The biggest feature of these three troops, commanded by Simeon, Oede, and Gill respectively and stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River, is that they are very close to the Shunau River.
The Shunau River is not so much a river as a very wide stream.
The water flow is gentle and the water level is not high, so you can easily cross the river on foot.
Therefore, crossing the Shunau River does not require much effort and time.
The three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River are very close to the Shunau River. In addition, the Shunau River is not difficult to cross, so Leer City, as a baggage transfer station, can easily transport the baggage to them, so there is no need to worry. Supply line issues.
Secondly, these three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River form an angle with each other and look after each other.
Attack any one of these three armies, and the other two will quickly come to support you.
Therefore, the three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River are deployed at a very high level.
Su Cheng thought to himself: If the deployment of this 60,000-strong army was thought up by that Luo Xie, then this Luo Xie is still quite capable. No wonder Barr, the commander of the Luo Lin Army, sent him to deal with me.
In his heart, after silently paying some respect to the person who designed this deployment plan, Su Cheng returned his attention to the map in front of him.
Judging from the position of Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army, if he wants to send his army south, then he must defeat this defense line built on the north and south banks of the Shunuo River.
In other words, if Su Cheng fails to defeat this defense line of 60,000 troops built on the north and south banks of the Shunuo River, he and his Eastern Route Army will have no choice but to stay in Shunao as they are now. On the north bank of the river, it was impossible to send troops southward.
So...what should I do to defeat this line of defense...
While Su Cheng was thinking this in his heart, he looked at the map in front of him and started thinking attentively.
Su Cheng secretly said inside:
The large area of the Shunau River is a flat plain.
In this situation where there are large plains all around, it is difficult to play tricks based on the terrain.
On such a large plain, the combat effectiveness of the strongest arms can be brought into play...
There is no doubt that they are cavalry...
cavalry……
Su Cheng muttered the word "cavalry" in his heart.
While chanting this word in his mind, Su Cheng's eyes slowly narrowed.
A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
at this time--
"Brother, go to bed."
——The sleeve of his right hand was pulled by someone, and at the same time, the voice that could be said to be the most familiar to him in this other world came from his right hand.
"It's already very late. Go to bed." Alan, who was standing on Su Cheng's right hand side, tugged on Su Cheng's sleeve and whispered, "If you have anything to do, just wait until tomorrow to think about it. I'm feeling sleepy." In such a situation, it’s not conducive to thinking.”
After hearing what Alan said, Su Cheng took the pocket watch aside and looked at the time.
I found that just as Alan said, it was indeed not too early now.
I am indeed feeling sleepy now.
"Well, Alan, you are right."
Su Cheng rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
"I am indeed a little sleepy now. If I think in a sleepy state, I am asking for trouble. Let's go to sleep."
After deciding to leave the matter of "thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy" to his energetic self tomorrow, Su Cheng stood up and rubbed Alan's little head next to him, and then extinguished the oil lamp placed on the table.
After extinguishing the oil lamp, the huge coach camp was instantly shrouded in darkness.
Just like last year's Lund Kingdom rescue battle, Su Cheng, Alan and Deng Jiaer were in the same camp.
There are three beds in the coach's camp, and these three beds are for Su Cheng, Alan, and Deng Jiaer to sleep respectively.
Tonight, Deng Jiaer had already fallen asleep, and the bulging quilt on Deng Jiaer's bed was falling and falling rhythmically.
Su Cheng and Alan, after extinguishing the oil lamps, returned to their beds in the dark.
After returning to the bed, Su Cheng threw himself directly on his bed and fell asleep.
After a while, Su Cheng fell into a deep sleep.
Alan's situation was similar to Su Cheng's. Not long after lying on the bed, Alan fell into a deep sleep just like Su Cheng.
However, it was precisely because Su Cheng and Alan were sleeping so deeply that neither of them noticed.
No one noticed any strange movement on Deng Jiaer's bed.
About 2 or 3 hours after Su Cheng and Alan fell asleep, there was a rustling sound from Deng Jiaer's bed.
Then, the thin quilt covering Deng Jiaer was gently lifted.
After gently lifting the thin quilt, Deng Jiaer sat up directly, and then walked quietly outside the tent.
At this time, Su Cheng and Alan, who were sleeping soundly, did not notice Deng Jiaer sneaking out of the camp for unknown reasons.
Su Cheng and Alan were still sleeping soundly.
The thin quilt covering the two of them was still rising and falling rhythmically with their breathing.
