Chapter 61: Battle at the Ferry of Elon (6)
Su Cheng closed his eyes, then took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, thinking in his heart: Calm down, think hard.
After repeating this sentence 5 times in his heart, Su Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. Said to myself in my heart:
Put yourself in Alan's place, what would I do if I were Alan?
If I were Allen, the army in my hand would be far inferior to the enemy army in terms of quantity and quality. The only powerful army in my hand would be 4,000 armored paladins brought from the Frankish Empire.
The enemy army is eager to rescue Heron City, while our army has come from afar, so neither of us wants to fight a war of attrition, but from a macro perspective, the enemy army is obviously more anxious than my side! If the two sides are in a stalemate, then Heron City will have to eat people, so the enemy army will definitely rush to attack, defeat our army, and then go to rescue Heron City!
Under such circumstances, my best strategy should be to first stick to the east bank of Elon Ferry, let the enemy attack first, exhaust the enemy's vigor first, and then look for opportunities to launch an attack.
No matter how you think about it, if I am Allen, I shouldn't be the first to attack! In this case, our army's biggest advantage now - the Fuhe natural danger will lose its effect.
No one with a little brain would do this. Could it be that Allen really lost his head this time?
Ok?
wait!
Since Alan's strategy of crossing the river to attack us head-on is irrational, could Alan actually do it on purpose?
Didn't Alan intend to really let the army attack us head-on, and the reason why the ships and troops were assembled at the ferry was just to confuse us?
But what is the purpose of his feint to confuse us?
Is it going to attract our attention from the front, and then send surprise soldiers to surprise us?
No, it's impossible to think about it.
Coach Nicholas said that there is only one Yilun Ferry on the V River that is suitable for crossing the river. The water in other places is too large and the current is too fast to cross the river. Our flanks came to surprise us.
As for arranging an ambush on the west bank of the Fu River in advance, it is even more impossible to wait for an opportunity to surprise us when the war starts. We have sent a large number of scouts to search the surroundings, and we have not found any ambush placed on the west bank in advance.
So what is Allen going to do?
...
Su Cheng felt that his train of thought was completely stuck.
He faintly felt that he was still short of a key point, and he hadn't thought about it. As long as he grasped this key point, he could figure out what Alan was going to do, but no matter how he continued to think, he couldn't grasp this point. The most critical takeaway.
Alisa glanced at Su Cheng who was thinking seriously and intently.
Su Cheng, who was concentrating and thinking deeply, now has a strange temperament on his body. This kind of temperament can only be possessed by those who have entered a serious state.
This temperament makes Su Cheng look more attractive than usual now.
Seeing Su Cheng who was in a serious state, Alisa couldn't help thinking to herself: I heard some friends say that when a person is the most handsome, it is when they are doing things seriously. It seems that this sentence is not wrong. This Su Cheng now looks more attractive than usual.
At this moment, Alisa suddenly remembered the match between Su Cheng and Enli that she overheard last night, and the punishment that Enli would receive after losing.
Alicia felt her cheeks heat up again.
After feeling her cheeks getting hot, Alisa raised her hand and patted her cheeks a few times.
At the same time, I said to myself in my heart:
Calm down, Alyssa, this should just be your overthinking. Su Cheng's usual behavior doesn't look like he likes me at all, so it's just you overthinking.
Stop feeling shy. Really, why can't I get rid of my shyness until now...
Su Cheng, who was still thinking seriously, didn't notice Alisa's strangeness now, and was still immersed in thinking, thinking about what Alan was going to do.
At this moment, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Deng Jiaer and Alan.
"The weather is really getting colder." Deng Jiaer said after taking a breath.
"That's right, it's autumn and winter after all. When we get back to Pendragon, let's buy some stoves and put them at home," Alan continued. "We have four rooms for each of us."
"It is said that the river on the outskirts of Pendragon, after autumn and winter, the water volume will decrease, and the water will become much shallower. Let's catch fish together then."
"Going to play in the water in winter? Deng Jiaer, are you okay? Is your body temperature still in the normal range? Has your body temperature not increased?"
"It's not getting taller! When I used to live at home in North Munster, my sister and I would always go to the river to catch fish in the winter! It's fun!"
"Really? I'll try it later when I have a chance."
...
Su Cheng, who was listening to the chat between Alan and Deng Jiaer, suddenly felt a flash of light in his mind!
In winter, the river becomes shallower...
Dry season!
Su Cheng instantly felt the fog surrounding his brain suddenly dissipate, and he suddenly became enlightened.
But while feeling enlightened, Su Cheng also felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
If the guess that he just popped up in a flash is correct, then they are in danger now!
Su Cheng was planning to drive the horse under his crotch to go to the phalanx of the 7th Army in front to find the coach Nicholas, and when he told Nicholas his conjecture, he suddenly felt a small stone next to the left front hoof of the horse under his crotch. Naturally shook up.
Afterwards, Su Cheng felt that not only this small stone was vibrating, but all the surrounding small stones were shaking!
Not only that, but he also heard some strange sounds.
It sounded like thunder, and it was getting louder and louder!
Not only Su Cheng sensed the strangeness around him, but Alisa, Alan, and Deng Jiaer also sensed the strangeness now. After sensing the strangeness, Alan and Deng Jiaer also ended their chat and began to look around Get up, looking for the source of this strange.
Soon, the four of them almost simultaneously perceived that the thunderous sound was coming from the left side of the phalanx, so the four of them also turned their heads to the left almost simultaneously, looking at the skyline on the left.
At the junction of the sky and the earth on the left side of the phalanx, a cloud of dust and smoke gradually rose up, covering half of the sky, and a thin black line gradually emerged, neatly like a surging water line.
