Chapter 255 Night Attack

July 17, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

16:11 pm.

Southern front, Britannia Army, Center Army.

Although the vanguard force suffered a lot of losses before, such a small loss can be said to be insignificant to the middle army with a total strength of 60,000.

The center army was now moving slowly.

Moving towards the location where the scouts found Barr and the main force of his Luo Lin Army.

A few days ago, after Barr was defeated by Alyssa, he took the main remnant army and retreated to the southwest, almost 40 miles away, for repairs.

40 miles - not a very long distance.

According to Albert's estimation, it would take less than 2 days for him to lead his army to the location of Baal and the main force of his Luolin army.

Yesterday, that is, the morning of July 16th, he led the central route army to start marching. So according to Albert's estimation, he will almost arrive at Bar this afternoon, that is, the afternoon of July 17th. The location of!

In other words, his center army is now almost in contact with Barr and the main force of Luo Lin's army led by him!

Albert is now in the center of the Central Army, riding on a horse, saying nothing, with a solemn look on his face.

Although Barr has always been his defeated general and his military skills are far inferior to him, Albert does not intend to underestimate the enemy.

He plans to attack with all his strength after contacting the main force of Luo Lin's army led by Barr!

This battle completely wiped out the main forces of Barr and Luo Lin's army!

At this moment, Albert suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching him.

Along with the sound of horse hooves, there were shouts:

"Coach! Coach!"

It's the scouts back.

Now that the scout is back, it means that he must have detected some new information that must be reported to him.

So, Albert asked the returning scout in a deep voice:

"What's new?"

"Return to the commander! In front of our army, there is a large army approaching us! Judging from the appearance and number of the flags, it is the main force of Luo Lin's army commanded by Baal! Now, this enemy army has approached 8 miles away in front of our army. The place!”

What? !

Although he shouted "What" in surprise in his heart, Albert still looked normal and said in a calm tone:

"That's it, I understand. You go down first and continue the reconnaissance mission."

"yes!"

Listening to the receding hoofbeats of the scouts, Albert frowned and looked ahead of him.

I thought in my mind:

Barr himself came with the main army?

Did you find out that I am approaching with a large army, so you no longer plan to hide and break the pot like before, and personally lead the remaining main force to fight to the death with me in the wild?

Balta is best at fighting in the wild, so it’s not surprising that he would make the decision to fight me to the death in the wild...

8 miles away...it's so close.

snort! That's good! He found it himself, saving me the trouble of finding it myself!

Since he wants to have a field battle with me in the wild, then I will give him what he wants!

"Pass the order."

After finishing his thinking, Albert turned his head and said to the general beside him:

"The whole army stops marching, repairs, and prepares for battle!"

"yes!"

The generals surrounding Albert, after responding in unison with a "yes", each pulled their reins and conveyed the military order "Stop the march and prepare for battle" to the entire army.

…

19:37 pm.

Southern front, Britannia Army, Deng Jiaer's troops.

"General!"

A scout who came back from reconnaissance shouted "General" while riding his horse towards Deng Jiaer who was riding a horse.

Deng Jiaer's identity is actually a bit subtle.

She is not a knight,

She is just a knight's retinue, so the soldiers below cannot call her "Lord Knight".

In terms of her status in the military, unlike Su Cheng and Willy, she has a very official position as coach or deputy commander.

Even though Deng Jiaer did not have any formal position in the army, she was indeed the top commander of the 5,000 cavalry. Naturally, it was not allowed to do such a rude thing as calling her by her first name.

Therefore, in order to make it easier to call Deng Jiaer, the 5,000 cavalry troops brought by Deng Jiaer, from general officers to ordinary soldiers, uniformly called Deng Jiaer "general".

"How is it going?"

Seeing that the scouts who went to explore the road had returned, Deng Jiaer immediately stopped and asked the scouts how they were doing.

"We are almost reaching the defensive position of the enemy general Simeon!"

After hearing what the scout said. Deng Jiaer's eyes flashed, then he raised his head and looked ahead of him.

On the horizon in front of him, there was a small dot as big as a sesame seed.

——This small dot as big as a sesame seed is probably the defensive position that Simeon is in charge of.

After more than ten days, although the eastern battlefield was "peaceful", the 40,000 East Route Army commanded by Su Cheng remained stationary, and the 60,000 Luolin Army commanded by Luo Xie also stayed obediently at the Shunuo River. the north and south sides.

The two armies and horses were facing each other from north to south. The East Route Army commanded by Su Cheng seemed to have no intention of going south, and the 60,000 Luo Lin Army commanded by Luo Xie also seemed to have no intention of going north to counterattack.

However, although the two armies have been quietly confronting each other from north to south, the two armies have been collecting and spying on each other's intelligence without stopping for a moment.

Over the past few days, Su Cheng had already investigated the deployment status of the 60,000 Luo Lin Army.

Simeon, Erd, and Gil each led an army of 10,000, 20,000, and 20,000, totaling 50,000, deployed on the north bank of the Shunau River.

The army of Simeon is to the west, the army of Oed is in the middle, and the army of Gil is to the east.

The three armies form horns with each other and take care of each other.

Eugene, on the other hand, commanded 5,000 men, guarding the south bank of the Shunau River and transporting baggage to the transfer station on the north bank of the Shunau River, Leer City.

The commander of this 60,000-strong army, Luo Xie, is located in Mayin City, which is further south than Leer City, and is responsible for the overall command.

After setting off with all the cavalry of the Eastern Route Army last night and galloping all the way, Deng Jiaer finally led the 5,000 cavalry and successfully arrived at the defensive position that Simeon was responsible for this evening!

Just as Deng Jiaer squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy position in the distance that was as small as a sesame bean, a tall young man next to Deng Jiaer said:

"General, it is already evening. Let the whole army stop to eat and rest. And I suggest that we retreat a little distance. The distance between us and the enemy is, to be honest, there is still some danger, and there is still some danger. The possibility of Simeon’s discovery.”

The tall young man who was speaking was the commander of the 4th Army of the East Route Army.

In addition to Alan voluntarily signing up to help Deng Jiaer in this battle, Su Cheng also sent the commander of the 4th Army to be Deng Jiaer's deputy to help Deng Jiaer.

There are not many senior generals under Su Cheng who can be assigned this important task.

Deputy Commander Willie must not be released to help Deng Jiaer. The large force of the Eastern Route Army cannot be without Willie.

The commander of the 8th Army could not be sent out to help Deng Jiaer.

The commander of the 8th Army had always criticized Su Cheng for assigning the task of "defeating the 60,000 Luolin Army" to Deng Jiaer.

Therefore, Su Cheng was worried that if the commander of the 8th Army was sent out to help Deng Jiaer, the commander of the 8th Army might disobey Deng Jiaer's orders, or even obey Deng Jiaer's orders.

Therefore, after much thought, Su Cheng decided to send the commander of the 4th Army to serve as Deng Jiaer's deputy and help Deng Jiaer.

The commander of the 4th Army is relatively honest and obedient, and unlike the commander of the 8th Army, who has no objections to Deng Jiaer's battle, he can be said to be the most suitable candidate.

Therefore, Su Cheng sent the commander of the 4th Army out to help Deng Jiaer, and the daily management and command of the 4th Army was handed over to Willie.

After listening to the advice of the commander of the 4th Army, Deng Jiaer nodded and said:

"Well, that's what I think too. Let the troops retreat 5 miles. After retreating 5 miles, start eating and let the whole army sleep and rest."

As soon as Deng Jiaer finished speaking, Alan, who was on the left side of Deng Jiaer, exclaimed:

"Sleep? Go to bed so early?! Isn't the sun just going down now?"

After that, Alan pointed to the west where the sun had not completely sunk into the horizon.

"Ah... speaking of which, I haven't told you the specific battle plan to Alan yet." Deng Jiaer said with a wry smile, "The only people who know the detailed battle plan now are Mr., Deputy Commander Willy, the Commander of the 4th Army and Where is the commander of the 8th Army?"

"The reason why I go to bed after eating later is actually to maintain my strength."

"After all - late tonight, we will officially begin the battle plan to defeat the 60,000 Luo Lin Army."

"Late tonight, we will first defeat the 10,000-strong army led by Simeon!"

After saying that, Deng Jiaer's face showed a confident smile.
