Chapter 271: Attacking Lyle City (Part 1)

"Alan, Alan, wake up, wake up!"

"Well...Deng Jiaer...well...good morning..."

"Good morning! It's 15:30 on July 18th, and you've only slept for a few hours."

"Well...it's already 15:00 in the afternoon..."

"Well, yes, hurry up and get ready, we are going to start marching! Let's capture Lyle City!"

…

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

16:28 pm.

Within the Luolin Empire, on the south bank of the Shunuo River, Leer City.

Lyle City was originally just an ordinary small city with a population of just over 20,000 people in the Luolin Empire.

In terms of geographical location, it is far away from the northern border of the Luolin Empire, so in the past, it was a very peaceful and safe city although it was not very lively.

However, with the launch of the Britannian Empire's sixth southern offensive, the "Spring Awakening" offensive a few months ago, a large area of ​​the northern territory of the Rollin Empire fell.

This city that was originally at the rear of the Luolin Empire has now become a city at the forefront of the Luolin Empire.

Because the city is relatively close to the Shunau River, it is the most ideal baggage transfer station for transporting baggage to the three troops stationed on the north bank of the Shunau River.

Therefore, Luo Xie specially sent Eugene to lead 5,000 troops to sit in the city of Leer to protect this "baggage transfer station" and be responsible for the deployment of all baggage.

After Lyle City became the frontline city in the northern part of the empire, many citizens immediately fled Lyle City with their families and families.

As a result, Leer City, which originally had a total population of more than 20,000, now only has more than 10,000 people left.

However, thanks to the departure of these citizens, even if 5,000 troops were stationed in Lyall City, it would not be too crowded.

Leer City is a square city with only two entrances and exits from the north and south.

Since Eugene led the troops to take control of Leer City, the entrances and exits of the north and south of Leer City have been heavily guarded day and night.

In the recent "Spring Awakening" offensive, Huming City, which served as the general headquarters of the northern defense line, was defeated by the Britannia army through a surprise attack because of its neglect of defense.

Therefore, Eugene learned the lesson from the fall of Huming City and emphatically told his subordinates: no matter day or night, no matter what time, the vigilance of Laer City cannot be relaxed!

It is precisely because Eugene pays close attention to the daily vigilance of Leal City that Leal City is heavily guarded at all times.

Ou Ren is very confident: the tragedy in Huming City will never happen in Lyle City! There is absolutely no way to capture Lyle City with a surprise attack!

Today, the afternoon of July 18, was originally a very peaceful afternoon just like the previous ten days. The soldiers in charge of guarding were concentrating on guarding the surroundings of Lyle City.

However, a flying knight broke the peace of Leer City.

A dusty messenger, riding a fast horse, appeared from the northern skyline of Leer City, and then approached Leer City at an extremely fast speed.

The soldiers standing on guard on the northern wall of Lyell City immediately spotted the messenger as soon as he appeared on the northern skyline, and then immediately reported to their superiors that a cavalry was approaching.

Before and after the messenger rushed to the north gate of Lyle City, the soldiers responsible for guarding the north gate of Lyle City immediately surrounded the messenger.

"I am General Erd's messenger! I have urgent military information to convey to General Eugene! This is my identification."

After the messenger said this, he took out his identity certificate from his arms.

The leader of the soldiers who surrounded the soldier took the identity card of the messenger, and after checking and confirming that he was indeed a soldier of their Luo Lin Army, he immediately let him go.

After the messenger was released, under the leadership of a general whose status was obvious from the armor on his body, he came to the residence of Ou Ren, now the top person in charge of Lyle City. Office room.

After arriving at Eugene's office, the messenger immediately saluted a tall, thin young man who was sitting behind a square table and shouted:

"See Deputy Commander Eugene!"

"Um."

Ou Ren, who was not good at words and didn't have many facial expressions, just said "hmm" and then said in a calm tone:

"Erd, what urgent military information does he want to tell me?"

As soon as Ou Ren finished speaking, the messenger hurriedly took out a sealed roll of parchment from his arms.

"This is the military information written by Deputy Marshal Erd himself!"

As the messenger said this, he took two steps forward respectfully and handed the sealed parchment in his hand to Ou Ren.

"Um."

Ou Ren, who cherished words like gold, still gave a cold "hmm" and then accepted the military information handed over by the messenger.

"Deputy Commander Ou Ren! I have to go back to meet Deputy Commander Eude! Let's take the first step!"

Ou Ren didn't hold back, and nodded slightly, saying "I understand," and then began to unwrap the sealed parchment in his hand.

When Ou Ren opened the parchment in his hand, the messenger also strode out of Ou Ren's office, intending to hurry up and rush back to the position of Oede's army to return to Oede.

After opening the sealed parchment in his hand as quickly as possible, Ou Ren unfolded it directly and looked at it at a glance.

After his eyes quickly scanned the lines of words on the parchment in front of him, Eugene's originally expressionless face gradually changed.

A look of surprise and shock flashed across his face.

"General Eugene, what's wrong?"

He is not the only one in Ou Ren's office.

His deputy was also in the office, now standing to the right of his desk.

Ou Ren's deputy has also been working with Ou Ren for some time, so he still has some understanding of Ou Ren.

For example: He knew that Ou Ren was a person who didn't talk much and didn't have many expressions on his face.

24 hours a day, almost 23.5 hours, Ou Ren's face is expressionless.

Therefore, Ou Ren's deputies are used to Ou Ren's expressionless look.

However, after reading the military information that had just been sent to him, Ou Ren's face showed a very rare look of shock and astonishment.

This was the first time I met Eugene's deputy.

Therefore, I couldn't help but ask Ou Ren, "What's wrong?"

The look of shock and astonishment on Ou Ren's face only appeared for a few seconds.

After a few seconds, Ou Ren returned to his expressionless face.

However, although his expression changed, his eyes did not return to the original plain, indifferent eyes.

Ou Ren's eyes were full of complexity at this time.

"See for yourself..."

As Ou Ren said, he handed the military information he had just read to the deputy next to him.

After taking over the military information from Ou Ren, the deputy immediately began to read it at a glance.

The deputy, like Ou Ren, had a look of astonishment and shock on his face after reading the military information in his hand.

"Deputy Marshal Eugene..." the deputy said in a deep voice, "The Britannia Army unexpectedly came... I didn't expect that the Simeon Army had already..."

"Ah, yes, it's really too bad." Eugene also said in a deep voice, "What's even worse is that we don't know the specific movements of the Britannia army that came over. We only know that they' It seems to be coming south'."

"...General Eugene." The deputy said with a solemn expression, "What should we do next?"

Ou Ren pondered for a while and said:

"Similar to Oede, we stayed put and defended the city of Lyell. We don't know the specific movements and purposes of this Britannia army now, so it's better not to act rashly."

"As mentioned above, the military information from Oede was also mentioned above. While he sent people to convey to me the information that 'the Britannia army has attacked and the Simeon army has been completely destroyed', he also sent people to talk to Coach Roger. Conveyed.”

"So, let's just continue to hold on to Leer City for now, and then quietly wait for Coach Luo Xie's new military orders and plans."

"Give the order to all soldiers to cheer up! And strengthen daily vigilance!"

"yes!"
