Chapter 74: Su Cheng and Ai Lun—The Duel Begins!
The Imperial Army of Britannia, lined up in several neat queues, marched mightily northward, attacking the Kingdom of Carolingia!
The soldiers of the Britannia Empire, except for the knights, all wore black armor uniformly.
Therefore, if one looks down from the air, the formations formed by the Britannia Imperial Army look like black boa constrictors—a ferocious boa constrictor that is spitting out a letter and peeping at its prey.
After Su Cheng successfully took over the command of the entire army, he issued several orders in succession.
The first order - immediately send an order to the whole army, because Nicholas was seriously injured. Although he saved his life, he was too seriously injured to continue commanding the whole army. Therefore, the supreme commander of the whole army is replaced by the original 10th Su Cheng, the deputy commander of the army and the knight of Xingui.
The reason why Nicholas' death was concealed was to stabilize the morale and morale of the whole army. If the soldiers of the whole army knew that the commander was dead, it would greatly affect the morale and morale of the army.
And the reason why he did not conceal the change of the coach, and openly told the whole army that the new coach was a new knight, was Su Cheng's intention.
He just wanted to leak this information to Allen on purpose.
Su Cheng wants to fight psychological warfare with Allen.
Let Allen know that the Britannia Imperial Army has now replaced a new coach, and this new coach is still an unknown new knight.
The purpose is to make Allen have various questions:
Why did the Britannia Imperial Army let an unknown Xingui knight be the coach?
Is this information reliable? The Britannian Imperial Army deliberately sent false information?
Will it be said that a new Gui Knight will be the new coach, but in fact it will be directed by the surviving Nicholas or someone else?
Etc., etc.
Su Cheng deliberately leaked the news that the army replaced him as the head coach, in order to make Alan have various doubts, so as to interfere with Alan's judgment to a certain extent.
Although Su Cheng and Alan haven't officially faced each other yet, the invisible battle between the two has already begun!
...
At this time, the east bank of Aeron's Ferry.
The camp of the commander of the Carolingian Kingdom Army.
Just now, Allen urgently called all the senior generals of the whole army and started an emergency meeting.
In this urgent meeting, Allen told them bluntly that the Britannia Imperial Army has now marched northward, heading towards the Carolingian Kingdom.
Before this, Allen had also thought carefully, considering whether to conceal the news, and then took advantage of the time when the Britannian Imperial Army went to the Carolingian Kingdom, he immediately led the 60,000 troops stationed at the Ferry of Elon back. Heron City, after breaking Heron City with all their strength, go to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom.
But after thinking for a while, Allen rejected the plan.
Because it can't be done.
After all, Harun City is also the capital of a country. The city is tall and has sufficient defensive weapons. He has tried to storm Herun City several times before, but they all undoubtedly failed.
With the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army in hand, even if all 80,000 were wiped out, it might not be possible to capture Heron City.
If they want to capture Heron City, they can only use "soldiers and food war" to surround Heron City and starve it to death.
Therefore, there was no way to quickly break through Heron City, and then turn to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom.
Moreover, Allen knew that this information could not be concealed. After the king of the Carolingian Kingdom discovered that the army of the Britannia Empire was rushing towards him, he must have sent someone crazy to send an order for the entire army to go north for rescue.
Therefore, no matter how you hide it, you will definitely not be able to hide it in the end.
All the senior generals of the Carolingian Kingdom Army couldn't help but gasped when they learned that the Britannia Imperial Army was going north to attack their motherland.
"Commander!" A general said anxiously, "What should we do now?"
Allen pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let the 20,000 soldiers who are still surrounding Heron City lift the siege, and come here immediately. After the army is assembled, the whole army will go north to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom."
After hearing Allen's words, everyone in the tent, including Er, was shocked.
"Boss!" One person said, "Did we just give up on the siege of Heron City? We managed to reach the capital of the Kingdom of Lund, and if we continue to siege, Heron City will soon run out of food and break the city! Are we just going to let the results of the battle that are at hand slip away like this..."
Before the man finished speaking, Allen slammed his fist on the table in front of him, abruptly "stopping" the man's words.
"Do you think I am willing?!" Allen roared, "Haven't you seen it? We have no choice at all! If we choose to continue to surround Heron City, the result in exchange will be Brittany The Ya Empire captured your motherland! And you captured the Lund Kingdom! Is such a result meaningful?! This kind of battle where the two sides exchange venues is meaningless to fight at all! We can only gather the entire army immediately and rescue the King of Carolingian Overseas, there is no choice at all!"
"Then, General Allen," Er said suddenly, "can you continue to let the 20,000 troops still surrounding Heron City continue to surround Heron City, and we only use the 60,000 troops here to stop Britannia?" Imperial Army?"
"Can't."
Allen shook his head without hesitation.
"Commander, why?" A general of the Carolingian Kingdom Army asked, "Didn't our great victory yesterday be won by only 60,000 of us here?"
"It seems that you didn't understand how you won the battle yesterday..." Allen said lightly.
"Yesterday's battle was a surprise attack. The 60,000 troops were merely suspect soldiers. My 4,000 armored paladins were in charge of the main attack."
"That is to say, if you just want to confuse the enemy, you don't need to bring too many soldiers. That's why I left 20,000 soldiers to continue to surround Heron City, and only brought 60,000 people."
"But the situation is different now! I don't know where we will fight and what tactics we will use if we go north to intercept the Britannia Imperial Army. Therefore, in this unknown situation, it is natural We must gather all the forces that can be gathered to improve the odds of winning!"
"Don't forget, although the Britannian Imperial Army killed and injured tens of thousands of people in yesterday's battle, the Britannian Imperial Army still has nearly 90,000 troops, and we are still weaker in terms of numbers. On the one hand, when the number of your own army is not superior, you still go to disperse your own troops, isn't this courting death?!"
After hearing Allen's angry reprimand, the generals including Er could not help shrinking their necks and stopped speaking.
"Do you have any questions?!"
Allen's roar filled the entire tent.
The generals of the Carolingian Kingdom Army looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say a word.
"Since there are no problems, don't act quickly! Go and let the 20,000 troops who are still surrounding Heron City come here immediately! We must hurry now! Stop the Britannia Imperial Army as soon as possible! Your current The motherland is in a major crisis! One or two of you cheer me up!"
"yes!!"
The generals of the Carolingian Kingdom Army immediately stood up straight and responded loudly, and then they all came out of the big tent and began to move quickly.
The Carolingian Kingdom Army quickly moved up and down.
The messengers rushed to Harun City to deliver the order as quickly as possible.
Generals at all levels returned to their respective units for mobilization.
The Carolingian Kingdom Army - the chariot that had just rested for a long time, the axles started to rotate again, and the wheels began to roll again.
The duel between Xingui Knight Su Cheng and "Steel Bone" Allen-officially opened!
