Chapter 247 The Cavalry Troops Are Ready to Attack!

“I have always been proud to have such an upright elder who I can trust and rely on.”

Just as Alyssa said this to Hazel in a tone full of pride——

Southern front line, center army position, Albert's camp.

After the banquet to celebrate the successful rendezvous between the main force and the vanguard, as well as to celebrate Alyssa's great victory a few days ago, all the knights and heroes returned to their respective camps to prepare for rest.

And Albert is no exception.

Although in the banquet just now, Albert also drank a lot of black tea.

However, during these decades of military service, Albert's stomach had been trained to the point where it would not become uncomfortable no matter how much black tea he drank.

Therefore, although in the banquet just now, Albert drank no less black tea than Alyssa, and even drank far more than Alyssa, he did not suffer from stomach discomfort like Alyssa. Only with the help of others can one successfully return to his tent.

After returning to his tent, Albert was not like the other knights who went to sleep and rest directly after returning to the tent.

After Albert returned to his tent, he walked straight to the long table placed in the middle of his tent.

After sitting down behind the long table, Albert took a rolled map from the corner of the table and spread it out on the table in front of him.

Start working first before anyone else in the army, and be the last to rest before anyone else in the army.

——This is the creed and habit that Albert has followed for so many years.

Albert now feels that he is in a good mood and his mind is clear, so he plans to read the map again and study the next battle plan of his central route army in detail before going to bed.

Looking at the map in front of him, Albert pondered in his heart:

In the past few days, Alyssa has been sending reconnaissance teams to stick to the rear of Barr's remnant army to inquire about the movements of Barr's remnant army.

According to the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance team, Barr led the remaining army and fled to the southwest, all the way to a place 40 miles away from where we are now.

While Albert was thinking this to himself, he stretched out the index finger of his left hand and pressed on a certain point on the map.

This is exactly where their 60,000-strong Central Route Army is now.

After pressing his left index finger on this point, Albert moved his left index finger, sliding it all the way to the southwest, and then continued to say silently in his heart:

Baal and the remnants of the main force of Luo Lin's army led by him are now repairing forty miles away in the southwest.

Forty miles... The traffic conditions in this area are pretty good. If we start marching tomorrow morning, we will probably encounter Barr and his remnant army in the afternoon or evening of the day after tomorrow. Of course, the premise is that Barr He did not continue to move with his army...

I always feel like...something's not quite right...

Thinking of this, Albert frowned slightly.

Is Baal so weak...

Although I have been the leader of the Rachel Knights and have been fully responsible for the southern front of the empire, I have fought against Balta no less than ten times.

In the dozen or so battles with Baal, Baal basically never defeated me. He even tried to be beaten by me until he could only flee with a few cavalry in embarrassment.

But - this just means that Baal is not as good as me, but it does not mean that Baal is weak.

If Baal were placed in our Britannia Empire, he would undoubtedly be in the first echelon of the empire's knights. Like me, he would be awarded the title of Four Knights, so there would be no problem at all.

Barr, who is not very weak, was actually defeated by Alyssa...

I was very excited when I heard this battle report a few days ago. I thought Alyssa was really powerful. She really deserved to be Abigail's daughter. Like Abigail, she had the demeanor of a 'Valkyrie'. I thought Barr was nothing more than that. , was actually beaten up by a junior who was only 20 years old this year and fled in panic.

But now after a few days, I calm down and think about it carefully, I still feel something is wrong...

Alyssa is very strong, very talented and has potential, but she shouldn't be able to defeat Baal, who has 90,000 troops, with only 7,000 cavalry, and can only escape by cutting off her tail... Even if Alyssa uses With the tactics of cavalry raid, Barr would not have been beaten so badly...

With Barr's ability, even if he is suddenly attacked by a large cavalry force, he will definitely be able to react quickly and stabilize his position, and he will never be beaten by Alyssa to the death or injury of 20,000 people...

So strange...really strange...

And... I always feel that the strength of the troops is a bit inadequate...

On the southern front line, the total strength of the three armies of the Britannia Empire's western, central and eastern armies is 150,000. As for the Luo Lin Army confronting our 150,000-strong army, according to intelligence, there are 250,000.

There was intelligence from Su Cheng of the East Route Army, telling me that there were 60,000 Luo Lin troops confronting his East Route Army.

Allen's side of the West Route Army also sent information, but his side did not find out the specific number of enemy troops like the East Route Army. However, according to estimates, the Luo Lin Army confronting his West Route Army , there should be about 70,000 to 90,000 people.

Based on this calculation, the Luolin Army confronting my center army, that is, the main force of the Luolin Army commanded by Balta, should be at least 100,000 to 120,000 in size...

So, why did Alyssa only have 90,000 people under her command when she encountered Barr a few days ago? Where are the rest of Barr's troops?

Could it be that Alyssa had miscalculated? When we encountered Barr a few days ago, Barr's army did not number more than 90,000?

It's very possible... After all, the larger the army is, the more likely it is that the number of enemy troops will be miscalculated...

Or... it's also possible that our initial intelligence was wrong. The total strength of Luo Lin's army is not as many as 250,000...

Ahh... my head is starting to feel swollen... every idea is possible...

Looking back now, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible and strange that Barr was defeated by Alyssa.

After all, no one can guarantee that he will always win on the battlefield... You win today, and I win tomorrow. This is normal.

Moreover, Balta is almost in his 60s this year, almost 70 years old. At such a high age, it is normal for his mind to not be as clear as before and his ability to use troops to decline...

Considering this aspect, it seems normal for such an old Barr to be defeated by Alyssa...

…

Albert, whose head was swollen with thought, raised his hands and rubbed his temples, then sighed slightly, then rerolled the map on the table in front of him and put it back to the corner of the table.

While rerolling the map, Albert continued to think to himself:

Oh, forget it, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts. Since every idea may be right or wrong, then don’t think about it anymore. I just need to go all out as usual.

No matter what, even if Barr is older and his abilities have declined, he will still be a major enemy of our Britannia Empire.

If I encounter Baal's Queen a few days later, I just need to go all out as before.

This time, I will defeat Baal like before!

Not only do I want to defeat Baal, I want to completely capture or kill Baal in this "Summer Wind" offensive! Get rid of the biggest enemy on the southern front for our Britannia Empire!

While Albert was thinking this in his heart, a captivating cold light burst out from his eyes.

…

at the same time.

The southern front line, the Eastern Route Army position, outside a small camp.

"Then, that... Sir, Your Excellency?" Willy asked cautiously towards Alan, who was standing next to him.

"You don't have to call me 'Your Excellency'." Alan said helplessly, "It sounds awkward, just call me by my name Alan."

"Well... okay, Alan." Willy continued to talk to Alan in a cautious tone.

Looking at Willy's cautious look, others might think that Alan is his superior.

In fact, Alan's status in the army is just Su Cheng's knight guard.

In terms of status, compared with Willy, who is the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army and is a Knight of Fanlan, it can be said that there is a huge difference.

Therefore, with such a huge difference in status between the two people, Willy did not have to treat Alan with such caution and respect.

The reason why Willy treats Alan so respectfully is actually very simple.

Because Alan is the sister of coach Su Cheng!

As early as the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund at the end of last year, Willy knew that Alan was both Su Cheng's knight retinue and his sister.

This is actually easy to detect, because the two of them have always been brother and sister.

And judging from the interaction between the two of them, the relationship between the two is quite close.

Therefore, despite the huge difference in status between him and Alan, Willy did not dare to neglect Alan at all.

After all, offending the sister of his immediate boss is a very bad thing no matter how you think about it.

Therefore, although he changed his name to Alan, Willy still used a respectful attitude and asked Alan cautiously:

"Alan, how long will the coach and his golden-eyed knight follower want to talk in that tent? They have been talking for more than an hour..."

After saying that, Willy nuzzled towards the tent not far in front of the two of them.

After listening to Willy's question, Alan said angrily:

"How do I know? Just keep waiting."

About half an hour ago, Willy heard the news and learned that the little girl with golden eyes who had been hiding in that tent for nearly three days finally came out, and then Su Cheng and the little girl with golden eyes Secret spies were going on in that small tent.

After hearing the news, Willy hurried over immediately, and like Alan, they waited obediently outside the small tent, waiting obediently for Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer to finish their spying.

The reason why Willy came in such a hurry and waited outside the camp was because he was really curious about the secret conversation between Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer.

Just when Alan said angrily to Willy, "How do I know? Just keep waiting." There was finally movement in the small tent where Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer were staying!

The curtain of this small tent was lifted open.

Su Cheng and Deng Jiaer walked out of the small tent one after the other.

"Coach! Come out!"

"Huh? Willy, you're here, that's good, it saves me having to send someone to give you the order. Willy, give the order and let the cavalry troops get ready to send out troops."

"Huh?" A look of confusion appeared on Willy's face, "Commander, what does it mean to prepare the cavalry troops for dispatch?"

"That's the literal meaning." A meaningful smile appeared on Su Cheng's face, "Let our 5,000 cavalrymen from the East Route Army be ready to send troops! Tomorrow night, we will send troops south!"

After saying that, Su Cheng raised his hand and put it on the head of Deng Jiaer beside him. While gently rubbing Deng Jiaer's little head, he continued:

"I plan to hand over all the cavalry from the East Route Army to Deng Jiaer, and let her use these 5,000 cavalry to defeat the 60,000 Luo Lin Army that is confronting us in the south."

"What?!"

Alan and Willy shouted in unison with disbelief.
