Chapter 1188: Blocking Anga Lake

"Captain Cheng! Deputy Captain Willy! You two are here!"

At this moment, an old shout reached the ears of Su Cheng and Willy.

"It's Mr. Mude." Su Cheng smiled, "Good afternoon, Mr. Mude."

The owner of this old shout was Mude, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy.

"Good afternoon to you too, Captain Cheng." As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Mude hurriedly greeted Su Cheng.

"Captain Cheng." After greeting Su Cheng, Mude put on an extremely serious expression, "The fleet has arrived at the entrance of Gray Castle."

One of the ferry crossings of the Isu River at the entrance of Gray Castle is very close to Lake Angka.

"Have we arrived at the entrance of Gray Castle..." Su Cheng murmured in a low voice, "Our marching speed is faster than I expected..."

These days, Su Cheng has read the map of the terrain around Lake Angka thousands of times.

Su Cheng, who had already engraved every detail on the map in his mind, certainly understood what it meant to arrive at the entrance of Gray Castle.

This means that they are only one step away from the decisive battle site, Lake Anga, which they have chosen!

Su Cheng took out his pocket watch to confirm the current time.

After learning from the pocket watch that it was already 14:41 in the afternoon, Su Cheng turned his head and ordered Willy in front of him:

"Willie, help me notify all the knights of the Knights of Michael and all the generals of the Winged Cavalry Regiment: Come to the Hyperion immediately. I will hold a pre-war military meeting. Everyone must be present before 15:30, and no one can be absent."

"Yes!"

...

...

Su Cheng asked his subordinates to be present before 15:30.

After receiving Su Cheng's summons, the people scattered on various ships hurriedly took the boats and rushed to the Hyperion.

At 15:20, everyone had arrived.

The place where the military meeting was held was the largest room in the cabin of the Hyperion.

Although there were many participants, it didn't feel crowded thanks to the spacious room.

After counting the number of people and confirming that everyone was present, Su Cheng cleared his throat and said seriously:

"I won't say any more greetings or polite words. Let's get straight to the point."

After that, Su Cheng personally picked up a map and hung it on the wall behind him.

Su Cheng hung the map on the wall, then unfolded it to reveal the contents drawn on it. These days, many people, including Su Cheng, have been nauseated by the map of the area around Lake Anga.

"The reason why I suddenly called everyone together is only for one thing." Su Cheng said in a calm tone, "Inform everyone of my military deployment."

After hearing Su Cheng's words, most of the people present instantly became alert.

Since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, Su Cheng has never told them how he plans to deploy his military forces to fight against the huge fleet of the Frankish Empire.

Yesterday, they received a report from the scouts that the Frankish Empire's fleet had set sail, left their base in the southern basin of the Rhineland Plain, and headed straight for Lake Anga!

Exactly the same as Su Cheng's previous inference, after learning that they were heading to Lake Anga, the Frankish Empire's fleet would definitely follow them to Lake Anga, intending to defeat them in one fell swoop in this lake.

First release

The outbreak of the decisive battle with the Frankish Empire fleet at Lake Anga is a foregone conclusion.

Many people in the army are actually very uneasy.

Until just now, they didn't know their military deployment and combat arrangements.

How to fight, which troops are deployed where, which troops are responsible for the main attack, which troops are responsible for support... These things, the generals in the army don't know at all.

In this state of mind where you don't know anything, it is easiest to feel uneasy.

At such a critical juncture, they suddenly learned that their supreme commander was finally going to tell them about the military deployment in this battle. This is really a very reassuring and reassuring thing for the generals in the army. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest PC version:

"Everyone here should know that there are only two entrances and exits to Lake Angka."

Su Cheng continued to speak seriously, word by word, in accordance with his own speaking rhythm.

"The two entrances and exits of Lake Angka are Saixinkou in the west and Zulukou in the east."

"We will follow the river and enter Lake Angka through Saixinkou in the west of the lake."

"And the fleet of the Frank Empire will enter Lake Angka through Zulukou in the east of the lake."

"A place like Lake Angka with few entrances and exits is most suitable for launching an annihilation war!"

At this point, Su Cheng's tone became a few degrees higher, and his tone became decisive.

"Don't defeat if you can defeat them. Don't defeat if you can annihilate them. This is my principle of using troops."

"So I plan to divide the troops into two parts!"

"Select all the most elite infantry and cavalry from the general to form an elite mixed force."

"When the fleet arrives at Saixinkou, the western entrance of Lake Angka, I will let the fleet dock and let this mixed force with all the elite infantry and cavalry in the army disembark."

"And I will continue to lead this fleet into Lake Angka and face the fleet of the Frank Empire head-on."

"This mixed force has only one mission."

"Along the northern shore of Lake Angka, rush to Zrukou, the eastern entrance of Lake Angka."

"After the Frankish fleet enters Lake Angka through the Zulu Pass, we will block the Zulu Pass and block the east entrance of Lake Angka!"

"There is our fleet in the west. There is the army's blockade in the east. The two armies, one in the west and one in the east, completely block Lake Angka, making Lake Angka a closed battlefield. The Frankish fleet has no way to escape!"

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, many people present showed horror on their faces.

They were all shocked by Su Cheng's ambition.

The troops were divided into two groups, and the blockade of Lake Angka was clearly intended to annihilate the Frankish fleet.

For most of the people present, as long as they could defeat the Frankish fleet, they would be satisfied.

However, Su Cheng was not satisfied with this. He not only wanted to defeat it, but also to annihilate it completely.

Su Cheng did not slow down his tone because many people present showed horror on their faces, but continued:

"If we block the Zulukou, the Frankish army will definitely notice it."

"Therefore, the Frankish army is very likely to send a large force to lift our army's blockade of the Zulukou."

"By then, a major battle will be inevitable."

"That is why the troops going to block the Zulukou must be the most elite infantry and cavalry in the army."

"The person who commands this force must also be a capable person who can take on this important task."

"And the person in charge of commanding this mixed force..."

Su Cheng moved his eyes.

He cast his eyes on the smallest figure among the generals in front of him.

"Dengjiaer O'Brien."

"This mixed force is led by Dengjiaer O'Brien as the commander-in-chief."
