Chapter 267 Urla’s Great Victory!
Although in the confrontation with Barr, Barr suffered repeated defeats and basically never defeated Albert, Albert still admitted that Barr was actually a very powerful enemy!
The reason why Barr repeatedly lost in battles with Albert was simply that Albert was stronger than him.
According to Albert's judgment and knowledge, the only people in the entire Britannia Empire who can firmly suppress Barr on the battlefield may be Albert and Iser.
If it were the other knights who went into battle to compete with Barr, it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose.
Therefore, as the leader of the Rachel Knights and the highest person in charge of the southern defense line of the Britannia Empire, Albert has always regarded Barr as the biggest dangerous factor on the southern border of the empire.
So in every large-scale offensive against the Rollin Empire, Albert wanted to get rid of Barr!
As long as Barr dies, the pressure on the southern defense line of the Britannia Empire can be reduced by 30% in an instant! Now I am guarding the southern defense line of the empire, so I can still suppress Baal. If I die, it is hard to say whether other knights can guard the southern defense line and can suppress Baal!
——This is Albert’s consistent understanding.
From Albert's consistent cognition, we can see how big a threat this Barr, who is always defeated by him, poses in Albert's heart.
It's a pity that although Albert won almost every battle with Barr, Barr escaped every time.
The closest success was a few years ago - when the "Third Southern Offensive" was launched against the Luolin Empire, Baal was completely wiped out, but Baal was still protected by a few elite cavalry. Successfully escaped.
Now, the situation of this battle that was fought on the vast Urla Plain was very clear - under the fierce offensive of the Britannia Army, the Rollin Army was unable to recover.
At this time, Barr seemed to have realized that he had completely lost this battle and there was no need to continue the fight, so he used his most common and best method of retreat - tail-cutting to escape.
Under the restraint and interruption of a small force, the large forces of the Bal Army quickly integrated and began to retreat slowly.
I have made up my mind to completely kill this "7th Southern Offensive" - also known as the "Summer Wind" Offensive - which has been deeply threatening the southern border and territory of the Britannia Empire. man!
Therefore, Albert waved the flag and ordered all the troops to rush forward bravely, break through the enemy's rear-end troops, and must completely kill Barr on the Urla Plain!
After receiving Albert's military order, the assault brigade commanded by Alyssa, the force with the strongest offensive and destructive power in the entire army, once again took the lead and led the entire army to attack the Barr Army's rear cover force and launch another attack. Attack fiercely.
However, a unit that can be used to provide rear cover for the entire army will naturally not be a unit with worrying combat effectiveness.
Facing the onslaught of the Britannia troops, the Barr Army's rear covering troops exerted their super combat power and withstood the waves of onslaughts by the Britannia troops.
Albert, who was standing on the high ground of his own formation, saw that his own army was still unable to break through Barr's army's rear covering force. He could only watch helplessly as Barr led the large army to retreat slowly, and his face couldn't help but become livid little by little. Darkened.
His right hand was still holding the command flag tightly.
Because of too much force, the joints of the right fist turned slightly white.
Looking at the command flag held tightly by Albert, even if the flagpole of the command flag was broken by Albert in the next second, Hazel and the knights standing next to Albert would not feel the slightest pain. strangeness.
Albert's free left hand also unknowingly rested on the hilt of the blue knight's sword hanging on his left waist, and then slowly tightened his grip.
Some knights standing behind Albert saw Albert's left hand resting on the hilt of the knight's sword hanging on his left waist and slowly tightening it.
Cold sweat began to break out on his face.
These knights who started to sweat were all people who knew Albert to a certain extent.
So they all know that this is Albert's habitual action. When he makes this action, it means that he is very angry now.
Although Albert is usually very approachable to others, when he gets angry, he can also be very scary.
"Why... our army of 60,000 people can't even break through even one unit responsible for breaking up and covering the rear?"
Albert's tone sounded calm, but everyone present, including Hazel, heard that there was already a lot of anger in Albert's tone.
All the generals, including Hai Rou'er, lowered their heads slightly at this time and did not say a word.
Because they don’t know what answer is better to answer Albert at this time.
at this time--
"Coach!"
——A knight covered in blood, galloping towards Albert on horseback.
Judging from the direction in which the knight was running, he should have come from a battlefield where a fierce battle was taking place on the front line.
The knight who suddenly retreated from the frontline battlefield rode his horse and came to Albert. He immediately dismounted and saluted Albert, and then said:
"Commander, under the orders of Deputy Commander Alyssa, I am here to advise you, Commander, to withdraw your troops and rest!"
"Withdraw troops?" Albert's tone contained much more anger than before, "Why withdraw troops? Are you going to tell me that you can't even break through the enemy's rear-end troops?"
The knight hesitated for a moment.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Deputy Commander Alyssa said that the troops on the frontline battlefield no longer have the strength to break through the enemy's rear-cut troops!"
"Our army has been fighting bravely for several hours since the beginning of the war in the early morning. Many soldiers no longer have the strength to fight with the enemy. There are even many soldiers who no longer have the strength to lift their swords, including all the cavalry in the assault brigade. There is basically no energy left to continue to charge and kill. The strength of the entire army is gradually weakening and the momentum is gradually disappearing. In this state, it is difficult to break through the elite rear-cutting troops of the Barr Army!"
"Furthermore, it has been observed that the commander of the Barr Army's rear-cutting force is Charles Wijeri!"
After hearing the name Charles Wigeri, Albert couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As the top person in charge of the southern defense line of the Britannia Empire, Albert, who has been dealing with the Rollin Empire for many years, naturally knows the name of Charles Vigeri.
Naturally, we know that Ciel is a powerful general in the Luo Lin Empire. He not only has amazing force, but also has amazing on-the-spot command and judgment abilities. In the Luo Lin Empire, where basically only nobles can become high-ranking generals, he just relies on his strength. Due to his military exploits, he was promoted to a high-ranking general in the Luo Lin Empire.
If he were to command the Duanhou troops, it would be understandable that our own army would be unable to break through the constraints of the Duanhou troops.
Albert raised his head and looked at the frontline battlefield where fierce fighting was still taking place in the distance, his expression becoming complicated.
Since this is the information sent back by Alyssa, who is commanding the troops on the front line, the information should be reliable. After fighting for so long, the troops on the front line really seem to have no energy left to carry out a fierce attack.
In addition, the troops after the break are still commanded by that Ciel...
Albert narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the frontline battlefield in the distance, looking thoughtful.
After a while, Albert said in a deep voice:
"Okay, pass on the order and order the troops on the front line to stop attacking and withdraw all to rest."
"Yes!" The knight who had just withdrawn from the front line to convey Alyssa's suggestion loudly responded with a "yes", then immediately turned his horse's head and returned to the front line battlefield to convey Albert his military order.
As soon as the knight left, Albert turned his head to a general behind him and continued:
"Also, prepare the military doctors at the medical station to receive and treat wounded soldiers!"
"yes!"
"That...Mr. Albert."
At this moment, Hai Rouer on the side interrupted.
"Aren't we going to pursue Barr?"
"Chase! Of course I have to chase!"
Albert chuckled twice first, and then said seriously:
"I just asked the entire army to temporarily withdraw to rest and re-concentrate strength. After the repairs are completed, I will immediately lead the army to cover up the attack! I will not let Baal go so easily. In this 'Summer Wind' offensive, I will definitely kill Baal! Wherever Baal escapes, I will kill him!"
After saying that, a cold light flashed in Albert's eyes.
