Chapter 90 The Weihe Annihilation Battle Begins!
At this time, the lower reaches of the Wei River.
The two armies are facing each other, on the east bank of the Wei River.
Both Allen and Er stood on the banks of the Wei River on horseback, looking at the position of the Britannia Imperial Army on the opposite bank from a distance.
Before dawn today, Allen received information from the soldiers in charge of monitoring the situation on the other side-the Britannian Imperial Army on the other side has moved!
After receiving this information, Allen immediately put on his armor as quickly as possible, and pulled Er to the bank of the Wei River together.
After arriving at the bank of the Wei River, Allen saw that there were many flags on the opposite bank, and the Britannias formed a phalanx at an extremely fast speed, as if they were going to cross the river to attack them.
"General Allen, looking at the posture of the Britannia, they seem to be the first to cross the river and attack us." Er said to Allen in front of him.
"Well," Allen said in a deep voice, "I can see it too."
"They are really in a hurry." Er said with a smile, "We just came here yesterday afternoon, and they will start attacking us this morning."
"After all, we have come from a long distance. In order to catch up with the Britannian Imperial Army, the soldiers are already exhausted after traveling all the way," Allen said lightly, "It's the so-called 'waiting for work'. The army, rested for many days, has come to attack our weary army, which has been on a frantic march until yesterday afternoon."
Speaking of this, Allen paused for a moment, and then a few disappointments and disdain appeared on his face, and then said:
"If I were the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army, I would not choose to launch the attack at this time. I would definitely choose to launch the attack last night or when we first arrived. If we launch another attack at this time, the enemy army will have rested overnight, and most of their physical strength will have recovered, so the advantage of 'waiting for work at leisure' will be greatly weakened."
At the end, Allen added another sentence: "If it is true that the Britannia Imperial Army has changed a new coach, as the intelligence said, then the level of this new coach is really mediocre. That’s not how it’s used, the enemy started to attack after a good night’s rest, no matter how bad they were, they would send some cavalry to harass us last night.”
"Yes." Er nodded in agreement.
Then, Er seemed to remember something, suddenly smiled, and said:
"General Allen, thinking about it now, it's really a coincidence."
"Huh? What's so coincidental?"
"Ten days ago," Er said slowly, "we also faced each other on both sides of the Fu River like this. The Britannias were on the west bank, while we were on the east bank, and now we are facing each other on both sides of a river. So the Britannia is on the west bank, and we are on the east bank."
After hearing what Er said, Allen was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, and said, "Yes, it's a coincidence, but the river this time is different from the river last time."
Allen glanced at the surface of the Wei River.
"This Wei River can be said to be the opposite of the Fu River. The water level is low and the flow is slow. You can walk across this river. Therefore, fighting here is almost the same as fighting on flat ground. .”
"That means," Er frowned and said, "we are now confronting the Britannia Imperial Army on the plain? Then our battle may be very difficult, after all, in the In head-to-head combat,
The fighting power of the 80,000 Carolingians below us is far inferior to that of the Britannias on the opposite side. "
"Difficult is difficult," Alan smiled. "The difference in the quality of soldiers does not play a decisive factor in the victory or defeat on the battlefield. I am Alan who is known as 'Steel Bone'! Even the army under me There is a gap with the enemy in terms of quality and quantity, but I can still lead them to victory!"
A confident smile gradually appeared on Allen's face, and he continued: "What's more, I still have more than 3,000 armored paladins in my hands. With them, even the number of Britannias on the opposite side I'm not afraid of tens of thousands more!"
"General Allen, although self-confidence is a good thing, it's not good to be too arrogant." Er said jokingly, "If there are tens of thousands more knights from the Britannia Empire on the opposite side soldiers, then we may have to retreat. After all, the fighting power of the Knights of the Britannia Empire is not a joke. Only more than 3,000 armored paladins will definitely not be able to support... huh? General Allen , what's wrong?"
Er, who hadn't finished speaking, suddenly found Allen staring at the other side with a solemn expression.
At the same time, he murmured: "No way..."
"General Allen, what's wrong?" Er asked again.
"Er, look."
Allen raised his hand and pointed to the opposite bank.
"...Er, that flag is the handsome flag, right? Am I not mistaken?"
After hearing Alan's words, Er's face showed surprise, and then quickly looked in the direction Alan pointed.
After turning his gaze to the opposite bank, Er suddenly found that at the center of the frontmost phalanx of the Britannia Imperial Army on the west bank of the Wei River, a tall flagpole was erected. On the top of the flagpole, there was a complicated, Flags with gorgeous patterns are fluttering in the wind.
"That's... the handsome flag?!" Er lost his voice, "Why is the handsome flag of the Britannia Imperial Army so far ahead? Could it be that—"
"Ah, it should be." Allen narrowed his eyes, "Although I don't know who the current coach of the Britannia Imperial Army is, but now it seems that he is very courageous. Come to the front and personally command the army to attack..."
...
At this time, the west bank of the Wei River.
Su Cheng looked down at his pocket watch - it was already 7:58.
"It seems that it's about time." Su Cheng murmured.
Su Cheng arranged the 5th Army of the Britannia Empire into three lines.
As the main attacking army, in the first row at the forefront,
The 1st Army, 6th Army, and 10th Army are in the second row in the middle.
As for the 7th Army, which was disabled and only 6,000 people could stand still, Su Cheng didn't plan to let them fight this time, so they were ranked in the third row at the end.
If you look at it from the air, you can see that the 5 armies have formed a "ten" shape, the 1st army, the 6th army, and the 10th army form the horizontal line in the middle, and the 1st army forms the upper line of "ten". section, and the 7th Army formed the section below the "ten".
At this time, Su Cheng was in the forefront of the phalanx of the first army.
This was also what Su Cheng had planned from the beginning - he would go into battle in person and command the first army to launch the first wave of attack!
After seeing that the planned time had arrived, Su Cheng put away his pocket watch, and said to the commander of the 1st Army with a faint smile:
"It's time to prepare for war. Our task is very difficult. Many people may die, and you and I may even be injured. So, Willy, are you afraid?"
"Are you joking? Commander." The Commander of the Third Army smiled, "How could I be afraid?"
After hearing the answer from the Commander of the Third Army, Su Cheng turned his head again and looked at Deng Jiaer and Alan beside him.
"What about you two, are you afraid?"
"Ha... um." Alan yawned big, then said while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Come to the end, so we can discuss about going to the hot spring."
"Sir, I'm not afraid!" Deng Jiaer said loudly.
Although Deng Jiaer said he was not afraid, Su Cheng could still see Deng Jiaer's hands trembling slightly.
"Aren't you afraid?"
After all, a bit of bitterness appeared on Su Cheng's face.
"You are not afraid, but I am a little scared... After all, the success of today's battle depends on whether I can make an accurate judgment later, so I am a little scared and stressed."
"It's just..." Su Cheng changed his subject, "Although I feel a little scared, but at the same time I feel a little bit excited in my heart!"
After all, a strong fighting spirit shot out from Su Cheng's eyes.
Afterwards, Su Cheng waved his hand and said to the commander of the Third Army beside him: "Send the order! Let the whole army of the Third Army start crossing the river to attack!"
