Chapter 96: Battle of Wei River Annihilation (6)

The sound of charging horns resounded through the earth.

The three armies of the 1st Army, 6th Army, and 10th Army who were waiting in full battle immediately began to charge after hearing the charge!

And the 3rd Army, which had been retreating all the time, also stopped the pace of retreat, turned to the Allen Army on the west bank of the Wei River!

The remnants of the 7th Army continued to stay in the rear, standing still.

Before the war, Su Cheng made a detailed combat deployment:

Su Cheng personally led the 3rd Army to attack the east bank of the Wei River, lured Allen to lead the attack, and led Allen and his pursuit troops to the west bank of the Wei River.

After leading the Allen Army to the west bank of the Wei River, Su Cheng will raise yellow smoke to notify Alisa who is guarding the upper reaches of the Wei River to break the "dam" and release water.

After the "dam" is destroyed, the water stored for many days will cause the water level downstream to skyrocket, completely cutting off the retreat of the enemy troops who landed on the west bank of the Shangwei River.

Afterwards, Su Cheng would order to sound the charge horn.

After the charge horn sounded, the 1st Army, 6th Army, and 10th Army, which had been waiting in full battle, would begin to charge to encircle and suppress the enemy on the west bank of the Wei River.

Because Alisa, the commander of the 10th Army, was responsible for guarding and managing the "dam" in the upper reaches of the Wei River, Su Cheng handed over the command of the 10th Army to the deputy commander of the 1st Army.

Su Cheng also made detailed arrangements for the attacking direction of each army.

The 1st Army attacked from the left flank, the 6th Army attacked from the front, and the 10th Army attacked from the right flank.

The 3rd Army, which was responsible for retreating and luring the enemy, also stopped retreating after hearing the charge horn, and together with the 6th Army, attacked the enemy from the front.

The Fourth Army has a total of nearly 80,000 people, attacking the enemy from three directions!

The purpose is to completely wipe out the enemy troops who have landed on the west bank of the Wei River and have their retreat route cut off!

Half a month before the army set off, Su Cheng was studying the information about Allen every day.

After months of painstaking research, Su Cheng discovered that Alan is a person who is very good at commanding cavalry battles, and is also a person who likes to personally lead cavalry charges.

It is precisely because of Allen's personality that he likes to lead troops to charge in person, and his brave posture with superb force, that he was nicknamed "Steel Bone".

Therefore, when Su Cheng formulated the "Wei River Annihilation War", he guessed that Alan would have a great probability to personally lead the armored cavalry to chase the bait he set.

And now, just as Su Cheng guessed, Allen really led the armored paladins to chase the bait he set, just as Su Cheng guessed.

Now, Allen stayed on the west bank of the Wei River with his armored paladins and the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army who landed ashore.

The smooth development of the battle made the corners of Su Cheng's lips curl up.

Su Cheng, who was riding on a horse and standing on a tall boulder, looked at the Allen Army who was besieged by 80,000 troops, and said with a faint smile on his face:

"You lost, 'Steel Bones' Alan Jones..."

...

The enemy's charge is heard endlessly.

Enemy troops approaching from three directions.

The rising water behind him cut off his retreat.

Everything is deeply stimulating Allen's nerves.

What also stimulated Allen's nerves was the shouts of the Iron Armored Paladins behind him——

"Boss! What to do! The enemy is rushing over!"

"Boss! Coach!"

"Coach Allen! Let's retreat!"

"Idiot! How to withdraw?! Now that Weihe looks like this, tell me how to withdraw?! Commander! Don't listen to them! Let's attack directly! If we break through, we will be saved!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

...

In addition to the shouts of the Iron Armored Paladins, there were also the screams of the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army who also landed on the west bank of the Wei River——

"Ahh! It's over!! I can't withdraw!!!"

"How to do how to do?!"

"Where's Coach Allen?!"

"Coach Allen! Help us!"

"The back road is cut off,

There is an army ahead to encircle and suppress! We are dead! "

"You bastards! What's there to be afraid of! Get up! Get your guns!"

"Our large army is still on the east bank of the Wei River! How could we be able to defeat so many enemy troops on the west bank with only our few people! Don't forget that there are nearly 90,000 Britannias on the west bank! We only have 20,000 people who have landed on the West Bank! How can we win if 20,000 fight 90,000?!"

...

The anxious look on Er Er's face became more and more intense.

It was the first time he saw Allen so gaffe.

At this time, Alan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, his lips were slightly parted, and he looked dull.

Looking at Alan who seemed to be stupid, Er gritted his teeth, grabbed Alan's shoulders in desperation, and shook Alan violently.

"General Allen! Wake up! If even you give up! Then we are really doomed! Please regain your composure quickly!! Please wake up quickly!!!"

Under Er's violent shaking, Alan's dull, lifeless eyes gradually recovered.

"Yeah..." Alan murmured in a low voice, "If I give up...then the battle is really lost..."

After finishing speaking, Allen's eyes glowed again.

The fighting spirit burned in Alan's eyes again.

With a big wave of his hand, Allen slapped Er's hands off his shoulders.

"Thank you, Er. I'm fine."

After Allen thanked Er in a low voice, he reached his left waist with his right hand, and pulled out his saber with a "bass".

After pulling out his saber, Allen put the blade close to his left arm, and then swiped lightly.

The sharp blade cut through the skin, and bright red blood drops dripped out of the wound one after another.

The pain from his left arm stimulated Alan's brain.

Stimulated by the pain, Allen felt that his brain regained a little calmness, and the pain also suppressed the confusion and fear in his heart.

Allen yelled to himself in his heart:

Calm down and think about countermeasures, Alan Jones!

The Britannia Army did not know what method was used to cause a large amount of water to gushes out of the upper reaches of the Wei River, causing the current water level of the Wei River to rise sharply.

In other words, the way of retreat has been cut off, and it is impossible to return to the east bank before the water level drops.

Withdrawal—it was out of the question.

And the more than 50,000 people on the east bank of the Wei River were unable to come to support us because of the high water level.

Waiting for support - also not feasible.

In other words, the combat strength I can use now is only 3,400 Iron Armored Paladins, and the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army who landed together.

The 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army - can't be used anymore.

This sudden flood not only cut off our retreat, but also hit our morale. Now the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army has panicked, their morale plummeted, and they are on the verge of collapse. A crumbling army—there is no way to command it.

There are only 3,400 elite armored cavalry available now. Although the morale of the iron armored cavalry has also been affected due to the flood, they are indeed the elite troops that our Frankish Empire is proud of! Although morale was affected, it did not collapse like the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army!

it is good! As long as the Iron Armored Paladins can still listen to my command, then there is still a chance to solve the current bad situation!

With only heavy cavalry in hand, there is only one way to use it...

...

After thinking about the countermeasure, Allen raised the ax and gun in his hand high. Then shouted loudly:

"Everyone of the Armored Paladin Unit!!"

After hearing Alan's voice, the armored paladins stopped shouting and arguing, and obediently turned their eyes to Alan.

Allen continued to shout: "The current situation is unprecedentedly bad! We may have to explain it here!"

"but!"

Allen's words changed.

"You—are you willing to believe me!!"

"Will you believe that I can lead you to retreat?!"

"Now we have only one way to do it! That is to charge towards the enemy in front! Use brute force to tear a hole and break out!!"

"I know this method is very messy, but this is the only way now! We only have 3,000 people, but we have to break through the siege of nearly 100,000 troops, so the chance of success is very slim!"

"But! This is better than us sitting here waiting to die!!"

"Of course! You can also choose to get off your horse and kneel on the ground to beg for surrender! In this way, the Britannia may look at you and spare you!!"

"You can choose whichever you want! But let me say it first-I, Alan Jones, will never just sit still! I will definitely do my best and fight the enemy to the last moment!! I want to charge !Even if my horse falls! I will use my legs to charge!! Use the sword in my hand to cut a way out!!!”

"What about you?! Ironclad Paladins! Which one do you want to choose?! Do you want to charge with me and fight your way out? Or do you want to kneel on the ground and beg for surrender?!"

As soon as Allen's words fell, there was a sneer among the armored paladins——

"Hmph, what are you talking about, Coach Allen. Of course I chose to fight side by side with you until the last moment!!"

After this shout fell, the rest of the shouts sounded one after another in the ranks of the Iron Armored Paladins——

"I don't want to beg to the wild dogs of the Britannia Empire!!"

"Kill! Kill!!"

"Coach Allen! Take us to charge! I am the armored cavalry of the Frankish Empire! Even if I die, I should die on the back of the charging horse!"

"Coach! Take us to fight for our lives together!!"

"I am a glorious Frank! I will not surrender to the dogs of the Britannia Empire!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

...

Allen's short speech just now greatly boosted the morale of the Iron Armored Paladins, and now the Iron Armored Paladins are all brandishing their weapons, and their fighting spirit is boiling!

No one chose to dismount and surrender to the Britannia Empire.

Looking at the armored paladins whose fighting spirit was boiling and their morale was soaring, Allen's mouth was slightly raised, showing a gratified smile.

Then, Allen turned his gaze to Er next to him.

"Er, what about you? Are you willing to fight with me to the last moment? Are you willing to fight with me for the slim chance of survival?"

After hearing Allen's question, Er chuckled a few times.

"Are you joking? General Allen."

As Er said, he raised the spear in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

"I will always be by your side and fight with you until the last moment."

"...Thank you, Er."

Allen turned his head back, looking straight ahead at the Britannia Imperial Army approaching them from three directions.

He clenched the ax and gun in his hand, and then slammed the horse's belly!

"Iron Armored Paladins! Charge!!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"
