Chapter 270: Chasing Barr

"Eh? Deng Jia'er, you're going too far! You're making me appetizing!"

After Alan said this angrily, he "hummed" heavily, and then said:

"Forget it, don't tell me if you don't tell me. Anyway, I will know when you attack Leer City. Then you should tell me why we moved to this place after crossing the Shunau River. A place to poop, right? If it needs to be repaired, it will take too long! It’s already noon on July 18th!”

"The reason why I want the entire army to move to this inhospitable place for repairs is just one of the reasons. The main reason is to stay in this remote and hidden place and wait slowly."

"Wait?" Alan asked doubtfully, "Wait for what?"

"Wait for the time to pass."

Deng Jiaer cleared his throat and continued:

"We can't just rush up and attack Leer City so mindlessly. If we attack Leer City directly after crossing the Shunau River, we will definitely be wiped out!"

"We have to make a time difference now."

"Time difference?" Alan blinked twice in confusion.

"That's right." Deng Jiaer nodded heavily, "It's just the time difference."

"When we attacked the position of Simeon's army early this morning, although we successfully used the 'decapitation tactic' and killed Simeon, we cannot guarantee whether Simeon sent anyone to ask for help before he was killed. "

"Judging from the position of Simeon's army, it is unlikely that he will go to Gilta for help. He will only go to Oed for help."

"That is to say, it is very likely that Oed's reinforcements will arrive as soon as we withdraw from the Simeon Army's position."

"No matter what, it's fine. Let's assume for now that our attack on the Simeon Army's position has been informed by Erd who is stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River."

"If he learns of this, Alan, what do you think he will do?"

"Um……"

Alan pondered for a while and said:

"He should immediately send troops to pursue us, and at the same time send people to send messages to the rest of the troops, right?"

"It is unlikely that Erd will send troops to chase us." Deng Jiaer said while shaking his head, "I have carefully studied the information of our opponents this time. Although Erd is belligerent, he is actually a He is a very cautious person. He is not likely to send troops rashly before he has figured out the enemy's specific purpose and movements. Therefore, he will probably stick to his original position, and then send people to report the news to the remaining troops, and then work together Scout our army’s movements and discuss the next battle plan together.”

"The Erd army's position is here."

As Deng Jiaer spoke, he pointed to a small dot on the map in the middle of the north bank of the Shunuo River.

"And Lyle City, where Eugène is based, is here."

Deng Jiaer's index finger slid down to a small square on the south bank of the Shunuo River.

"Calculated based on this distance, if Erd discovered that the Simeon Army position had fallen in the early morning, and then started to send people to report the news, the messenger would probably arrive at Lyle City around 17:00 this afternoon and inform Lyle City The news of the fall of Eugène's Simeon army position."

"If we go straight to Leer City after crossing the Shunau River, we will arrive at Leer City around 16:00 today with the mobility of our cavalry."

"That is to say, we will arrive at Lyle City first before Erd's messengers."

"Alan, do you think there will be any problems with this?"

As soon as Deng Jiaer finished speaking, Alan's eyes suddenly widened.

"That Erd's messenger discovered the traces of our army!"

"That's right!" A look of satisfaction appeared on Deng Jiaer's face, and then he continued, "Ode's messenger will find out that our army is attacking Leer City, so he will definitely go back and report the news to Ode immediately. , and then Erd will lead his army south across the river, and attack our army together with Eugene's troops."

"So - we have to make a time difference! If we don't attack Lyle City immediately,

Instead, find a place to wait and repair quietly, staggering the time of Erd's messenger! After Oede's messengers report the information to Eugene, we will attack Lyle City! "

"After staggering the time with Erd's messenger, we arrived at Lyle City as quickly as possible!"

"Lyle City is just an ordinary small city with only 2 entrances and exits and 4 walls. Our 5,000 cavalry are completely enough to guard its 4 walls and prevent anyone in the city from going out through the exits or over the walls. Report the news!"

"Let the people in Lyle City not be able to report to the outside that 'Lyle City is being attacked'!"

"Turn Lyle City into an isolated city! The rest of the troops don't know that Lyle City is being attacked, and the people in Lyle City can't tell other troops that Lyle City is being attacked!"

"After cutting off all foreign aid from Lyle City, I will slowly use my siege tactics to capture Lyle City!"

Alan watched in stunned silence as she finished describing her overall strategy for capturing Lyle City.

"Deng Jiaer... your strategy for capturing Leer City is so messy and exciting..."

"It's just...even though it feels very random, I feel that there is a high possibility of success and it's worth a try!"

"Sir, he said the same thing after listening to my general strategy for capturing Leer City." Deng Jiaer smiled and said, "Let's wait slowly for now. When around 15:00 this afternoon, we will We can start marching towards Leer City. Our nerves have been tense since the surprise attack on the Simeon Army early this morning, so let’s relax now. At around 15:00 this afternoon, we will We’re on our way again.”

"Uh-huh!"

Alan nodded vigorously and said this in her usual energetic tone.

…

July 18, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

15:47 pm.

Southern front, Britannian Army, central battlefield.

Nearly three hours have passed since the Battle of Urla ended.

Albert strode around the wounded barracks.

While striding through the wounded barracks, he looked around.

Alyssa followed closely behind Albert obediently.

In the fierce battle of Urla this morning, Alyssa, who personally commanded and fought on the frontline battlefield, was also injured.

However, the injury was not serious. It was just a short and not deep wound on the left arm that was accidentally scratched by a spear. A little disinfection and bandaging would be enough.

People in this other world discovered the disinfecting effect of alcohol early, so they also produced medical alcohol early.

Therefore, in this different world with medical alcohol, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers is greatly reduced.

The number of wounded soldiers who died from infection due to a wound has also been greatly reduced.

Albert and Alyssa strode together in the wounded barracks.

The purpose of Albert's visit to the wounded barracks this time was to ask the chief medical officer.

After a while, Albert found the medical chief of his center army in a corner of the wounded barracks.

"Chief Surgeon!"

Albert called the military doctor and walked quickly to the military doctor.

"Oh, it's the coach, what's the matter?"

"Chief Military Surgeon, how is the treatment of the wounded soldiers going?"

"Those with minor injuries have basically been treated, and only some with more serious injuries are still undergoing surgery."

"...That's it, I understand."

After Albert said this in a deep voice, he saluted the military doctor, then turned around and walked out of the wounded barracks.

Just as Albert left the wounded barracks, he said to Alyssa who was behind him:

"Alyssa, send an order to the entire army. The wounded soldiers who cannot move or fight should stay here! And send 2,000 people to stay here to protect the wounded soldiers! The rest of the troops will prepare immediately! March on immediately!"

After hearing Albert's military order, Alyssa was stunned.

"Albert first...coach! Are you going to break camp and march so soon?!"

It has only been more than three hours since the fierce battle in the morning ended - Alyssa asked Albert urgently with this implication.

"That's right." Mr. Albert said solemnly, "We must be fast! If we are slower and let Barr escape, it will be troublesome! This time, I must kill Barr in one fell swoop!"

Speaking of this, Albert paused and then continued:

"Not only are we leaving wounded soldiers who cannot move or fight, but we are also leaving some bulky and difficult-to-carry baggage here. Let's keep it simple! We must catch up and kill Baal as quickly as possible!"

A complicated look appeared on Alyssa's face.

She opened her mouth, and when she was about to say something more, she hesitated for a moment and closed it again.

She is just the deputy commander of the Central Army. The highest decision-making power of the Central Army lies in the hands of the coach Albert. She is just a deputy commander and is not qualified to disobey the coach's decision.

Therefore, after Alyssa said "yes" in a deep voice, she quickly left to convey Albert's military order.
