Chapter 92: Battle of Wei River Annihilation (2)

"General Allen! The Britannia have retreated!" Er shouted.

"I saw it, so you don't need to repeat it to me."

Allen, who was on the horse, looked at the Britannia Imperial Army who had crossed the river halfway and then retreated with a blank face.

"It seems that the commander of the Britannia army has found that the casualties are too high," Er continued, "planning to retreat to the west bank first, and then attack after regrouping."

"Well. It does look like this." Allen continued to respond blankly.

"General Allen!"

After Er yelled Alan's name, he drove the horse under his crotch and walked in front of Alan.

After walking in front of Allen, Er turned his head, looked straight into Allen's eyes and said seriously: "I suggest dispatching the armored paladins now! Now that the Britannia are retreating, it is a good time to attack! If Now that we dispatch the Iron Armored Paladins, we will definitely deal a heavy blow to the retreating Britannia! Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to land on the east bank of the River Wei!"

"After we use the iron armored cavalry to deal a heavy blow to the retreating Britannians, we can take the iron armored cavalry to land on the west bank of the Wei River and lay down a landing base for the subsequent 80,000 troops to land! "

"And! Now the commander of the Britannia Imperial Army is in this army that is crossing the river. If we can kill or capture him alive, we will definitely deal a great blow to the Britannia people!"

Er, after impassionedly stating his own proposal, looked at Allen expectantly.

After hearing Er's suggestion, Allen fell into deep thought:

...

Er's suggestion... is pretty good!

Although I told Er last night that as long as I have more than 3,000 armored paladins under my command, I will not be afraid even if the Britannia Empire on the other side has tens of thousands more.

——But in fact, this is just me bragging on a whim.

No matter how powerful the armored cavalry is, there is no way to defeat the nearly 90,000 knights of the Britannia Empire with just over 3,000 people.

With only 3,000 Ironclad Paladins and 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army left, there are only two ways to defeat the nearly 90,000 Knights on the other side:

One is to use a strange strategy like the last battle at Elon's Ferry.

The other is to weaken the Britannia Imperial Army little by little, and then launch a decisive onslaught after weakening the Britannia Imperial Army to a certain extent.

The terrain here on the Wei River is flat now, and I can't think of any clever strategies.

It is absolutely impossible to use cavalry to conduct a roundabout surprise attack like last time. It is absolutely impossible to use the same tactics against the same army. This time the Britannia must have learned a lesson and beware of cavalry around them. up.

So, now we can only use the second method-continuously weaken the Britannia Imperial Army, and after weakening to a certain extent, launch a decisive onslaught to defeat the Britannia Imperial Army.

Now is indeed an excellent opportunity to weaken the Britannia Imperial Army.

Now the commander of the Britannia Imperial Army seems to have found that the casualties have completely exceeded his expectations, so he plans to let the soldiers retreat to the west bank of the Wei River first.

This time when the army is retreating is very vulnerable.

Now if the armored paladins are dispatched to attack the retreating Britannia, they will definitely be able to inflict great damage on them, and if they are lucky, they may even collapse the army crossing the river.

As long as the Britannia Imperial Army that crossed the river can be severely damaged, it will be able to greatly weaken the Britannia Imperial Army, and it will also be able to successfully hit the morale of their entire army.

It is an excellent opportunity to weaken the enemy army...

And it can also take the opportunity to land on the west bank of the Wei River and establish a landing base so that the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army behind can land on the west bank of the Wei River.

In this way, we can prevent the Britannia Imperial Army from taking advantage of us to cross the river,

attacked us.

...However, will the Britannia set up an ambush on the opposite bank...Ambush or something will be arranged on the opposite bank, and then after I lead the army to land on the west bank of the Wei River, I will send out the ambush that was arranged earlier, Siege us...

... No, probably not. The terrain here is extremely flat, and there is no way to deploy ambushes at all. In this extremely flat terrain, if there are indeed ambushes, I can immediately find out.

However, even if there is an ambush, I am not afraid. The water level of the Wei River is so shallow, even if there is an ambush, I can calmly retreat to the east bank.

And...Er is right, the commander of the Britannia Imperial Army is now in this retreating army. If I launch an attack now, there is a good chance that I can kill the Britannia Imperial Army His coach or capture him alive.

...No matter how you think about it, this is an excellent opportunity to weaken the Britannia army. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have such a good opportunity next time. Britannia, which has learned the lesson of this attack The coach of the Niya Army, the next attack may be much more conservative, so it may be difficult to encounter such a good offensive opportunity in the future.

Moreover, the water level of the Wei River is so low, even if something goes wrong after landing on the west bank of the Wei River, I can withdraw immediately.

...

After some thought, Allen made up his mind.

"Er!" Allen turned his head and shouted at Er.

"exist!"

"Get the armored paladins ready! I will lead them to attack myself!"

After hearing Allen's words, Er showed a happy expression, and then said loudly: "Yes!"

"Also, let the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army be ready to move forward! You personally command the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army! After I lead the armored cavalry to contact the enemy, you will take the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army immediately. Keep up! I want to let the whole army land on the west bank of the Shangwei River in one go!"

"yes!"

...

"Boss! There's movement on the east bank of the Wei River!"

The commander of the 3rd Army shouted loudly to Su Cheng who was directing the soldiers of the 3rd Army to retreat.

After hearing the words of the commander of the 3rd Army, Su Cheng turned his head and looked towards the east bank of the Wei River.

I saw a cavalry unit, both men and horses in heavy armor, rushing towards them in a mighty and aggressive manner.

The number of people is roughly in the thousands.

"Both the man and the horse are wearing heavy armor... It seems that the armored paladins are coming." Su Cheng said in a casual tone with a faint smile on his face.

The commander of the 3rd Army with good eyesight squinted his eyes, and looked intently at the armored cavalry rushing towards them.

Afterwards, the commander of the 3rd Army showed a look of horror.

"Boss! I saw Alan Jones! He is at the forefront of the armored cavalry, and he seems to be leading the cavalry!"

"Are you sure?" Su Cheng said lightly.

"100% sure! I have fought against Alan with the army many times before! I have seen Alan's face by chance a few times! So I am sure that the leader of this iron armored cavalry is Alan. Jones!"

After all, the commander of the 3rd Army looked in disbelief, and cast his dull eyes on Su Cheng.

"Boss... as you said, Alan Jones personally brought the Iron Armored Paladins to chase us..."

As soon as the commander of the 3rd Army finished speaking, the corners of Su Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and murmured:

"You're hooked...Alan Jones..."
