Chapter 1,343: The Longest Day in the Luolin Empire (Part 2)
In the 30,000 Britannia troops on the other side, the flag of the Knights of Michael was flying.
It was obvious who Louis was going to face.
"The First Cavalry of the Britannia Empire", "The Strongest Field Army of the Britannia Empire" - these reputations of the Knights of Michael were naturally well-known to Louis.
Facing the Knights of Michael, who had the strongest field combat capability in the Britannia Empire, even a famous general like Louis could not help but feel great pressure.
Louis's subordinates also felt great pressure.
Facing the Knights of Michael, everyone was under great pressure.
Not only because of the influence of the reputation of the Knights of Michael.
It was also because the gap between the two armies was visibly large.
The Rollin Empire lacked high-quality horse-breeding land.
Therefore, the combat power of the cavalry of the Rollin Empire was always average compared with other countries.
In terms of the quantity and quality of horse-breeding land, the Britannia Empire was second only to the steppe people in the Far East and the Frank Empire.
The war horses used by the cavalry of the Knights of Michael were also produced by the two best horse farms in their Britannia Empire...
So - the war horses of the cavalry of the Knights of Michael are a full circle larger than those of their cavalry...
The size of the war horses alone can show the difference in combat power between the two armies...
In order to boost the morale of the army, Louis shouted loudly:
"Don't be nervous! Don't be afraid!"
"The enemy's number is not much more than ours!"
"As long as we dare to fight and charge! We can win!"
"And tell you a good news!"
"I have just received reliable news!"
"Su Cheng is not here!"
"Su Cheng did not participate in this battle!"
Louis' words successfully relaxed the expressions of many generals and soldiers.
Especially after hearing that Su Cheng was not here.
The name Su Cheng is now like a new weapon with strong deterrence.
If the enemy knew that Su Cheng was in the Britannia army opposite, the morale of the army might collapse instantly - this is a fact, without any exaggeration.
Louis was actually lying just now.
He didn't receive any reliable intelligence.
Whether Su Cheng was here or not - he didn't know at all.
The reason why he lied just now was just to appease the army.
It's just that his lie happened to be right.
Su Cheng did not participate in this "Southern Extermination War".
In this "Southern Extermination War", Su Cheng was only responsible for the General Staff of Pendragon.
The one who was facing Louis was Raymond.
As for Willy, he was standing on the wall of Dulan Fortress watching the battle.
Adhering to the idea of seizing the initiative and deciding the outcome with one battle, Louis waved the flag and led the troops to launch the first attack.
After the Rollin Army led by Louis began to move slowly and prepare to launch an attack,
Raymond also led the Britannia Army and prepared to start the attack......
......
......
Britannia Empire Imperial Calendar Year 298, 18:00.
"Well done."
Willie, standing at the gate of the Dulan Fortress, praised Raymond who returned triumphantly.
After Raymond rolled off his bloody mount, he threw his trophy of this battle, the head of "Liberator" Louis de Murat, at Willy's feet.
"Raymond, this is the first field battle between us and the Rolin Army since the start of the war to destroy the South. What do you think? What do you think of the Rolin Army's field combat capabilities?"
Raymond's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.
"Untouchable."
......
......
April 18, 298th year of the Britannia Empire, 9:26.
"It's impossible to win... We can't win..."
Joseph de Suzette - a general who is good at cavalry warfare and has made great achievements.
Because he is good at leading the cavalry to launch rapid attacks on the enemy on the battlefield, he was nicknamed "Flying Elephant".
At this moment, Yozef, who was known as the "Flying Elephant", was lying on the muddy ground with blood all over his body.
Behind him, there was the sound of dense horse hooves approaching him.
This was the sound of the pursuit of the Britannian cavalry.
The sound of horse hooves increased and became louder at a very fast speed.
Soon, the Britannian army would catch up with Yozef.
And Yozef, who was already covered with wounds and whose horse had just fallen, was destined to be unable to escape the pursuit of the Britannian army...
Since the 150,000 Britannian troops went south in three directions and launched a full-scale attack on their Rolin Empire, their Rolin army has been retreating step by step, defeated again and again...
One after another, the troops were completely destroyed, and one after another, the fortresses fell...
So far, there has been no victory report.
No Rolin army has successfully defeated the Britannian army.
There was not even a small local victory...
In order to reverse the current dire situation, Yozef decided to lead the last 800 cavalrymen under his command to launch a night attack on the Western Route Army camp of the Britannia Army.
The reason why he risked his life to launch this night attack was not to inflict effective damage to the Western Route Army.
There are only 800 cavalrymen left under his command. Even if each of them is a brave warrior who can fight ten enemies with one, it is impossible for them to pose a great threat to the Western Route Army of the Britannia Army, which has tens of thousands of troops.
The reason why he risked his life to launch a night attack was just to boost the morale of the entire army... no, to boost the morale of the whole country.
Since the war with the Britannia Empire, there has been no victory report - how big a blow this has dealt to the morale of the army and the people can be imagined.
So Yozef wants to win.
No big victory is needed, just a small local victory is enough.
Just a small victory can break the myth of the invincibility of the Britannia Army.
It can bring some hope to the current situation...
With the belief of bringing hope to the Rolin Army and the Rolin Empire, Yozef led his last 800 cavalrymen to launch a night attack on the barracks of the Western Route Army of the Britannia Army.
However, the Britannian army had far more scouts than Yozef had imagined...
Before Yozef approached the Britannian army's western army camp, the Britannian army's scouts had already detected his movements and position.
When Yozef led 800 cavalrymen to approach the Britannian army's western army camp, the Britannian army's troops and the temporary traps were already quietly waiting for him...
With only 800 people, against tens of thousands of troops that were already prepared for the enemy, the outcome was naturally self-evident.
Before even the barricades of the camp were seen, Yozef's army was quickly surrounded and annihilated by the Britannian Empire, which had been prepared for a long time.
Although Yozef escaped with his excellent horsemanship and fighting skills, he was also seriously injured.
Before he escaped far, his mount, which was covered with several wounds, fell down.
And he himself no longer had the strength to stand up and run away...
