Chapter 294 Kill Su Cheng!

July 22, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

22:49 pm.

In the territory of the Luolin Empire, on the north bank of the Shunau River, the Erde Army's position is located.

In Erd's tent.

"How are the preparations for transporting the baggage?" Erd said in a stern tone to a general in front of him.

"Go back to the general! It's almost time!"

"Well, very good! We must complete the transportation preparations before dawn tomorrow morning! We will set off immediately to rescue Leer City early tomorrow morning!"

"clear!"

Erd nodded slightly, and then said softly:

"Okay, you can go out first."

"yes!"

After watching the general leave the camp, Erd sighed lightly, his face full of fatigue.

Ed feels very bad now.

No, it should be said that he was in a bad mood today.

Every five days, Eugene, who is in charge of the baggage transfer station-Lyle City, will send a new batch of baggage to his army.

Today, the morning of July 22, was supposed to be the time when a new batch of baggage from Oren was supposed to arrive.

However, the new baggage that was supposed to arrive at his position this morning did not arrive as scheduled.

Erd immediately noticed something was wrong.

He was not very familiar with Ou Ren, but he still had some understanding of Ou Ren.

He knew that Ou Ren was a very cautious and steady person and would never do such a thing as "the baggage did not arrive on time".

Thinking of the fact that a Britannian Army cavalry team of several thousand people had broken into the south bank of the Shunau River, Oed couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although Oed subconsciously felt that the Britannian Army cavalry, with a total size of only a few thousand, would never be stupid enough to attack the city of Leyre, which was guarded by 5,000 troops, but just in case, Oed still This morning, a reconnaissance team was sent to Lyle City to check out the situation.

The distance between Leer City and his position was not far. If an elite reconnaissance team set off from his position in the morning, they would probably be able to return in the middle of the night.

While waiting for the reconnaissance team to come back, Erd could be said to be extremely agitated.

He usually didn't pray much, but while waiting for the reconnaissance team to come back, he also prayed that Leer City would not fall into his worst expectations.

Just over an hour ago, the reconnaissance team finally returned.

And brought back the news that Erd least wanted to hear - Lyle City was attacked!

According to reports from the returning reconnaissance team, the Britannia Army, numbering in the thousands, is blocking the outside of Leer City.

Erd thought with his toes and knew that this Britannian army with thousands of people must be the enemy army that broke through the Simeon Army's position a few days ago and then broke into the south bank of the Shunau River!

After learning that only a few thousand enemy troops had blocked the city of Leer with 5,000 defenders, Erd was shocked at first, and then after thinking about it for a while, he was not surprised. .

The reason why he was shocked was because Oede wondered why Eugène did not lead the entire army to fight to the death with the Britannia army, but chose to be so frustrated and blocked in a city by an enemy army with a similar strength to his own. And feel strange.

Erd thought that if he was in charge of Leer City, after learning that the enemy's strength outside was similar to his own, he would definitely take action first and fight to the death with the enemy outside the city.

And the reason why after thinking about it for a while it didn't feel strange anymore is because Erd knew Ou Ren's style of using troops - stability.

Unlike Ode, who has a bold and radical military style, Eugene's military style is very stable and he will never make any risky moves unless absolutely necessary.

As long as he thought of Eugene's military style, Oede no longer felt strange that Lyle City was blocked by thousands of enemy troops.

Erd felt that Ou Ren must have thought that instead of going out of the city to have a decisive battle with the enemy in the wild, it would be so risky.

It is better to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements to rescue them.

Although Oede does not agree with Ou Ren's "negative" tactics in his eyes, Oede still admits that Eugène's "negative tactics" are not wrong. To some extent, it is not wrong. Very correct.

Since he learned that Leer City was being attacked by the enemy, Oed naturally would not choose to sit idly by.

He immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for dispatch and send troops to rescue Leer City early tomorrow morning, that is, the morning of July 23. According to the distance and traffic conditions, they would be able to arrive at Leer City on the morning of July 24.

After ordering the entire army to prepare for dispatch, Oed sent a messenger to convey a message to Gil who was stationed on the east side of the north bank of the Shunau River.

Inform Gill of the current situation in Lair City, and tell Gill that he will personally lead the army to rescue Lair City early tomorrow morning, and ask Gill to pay attention to the movements of Su Cheng's army and beware of Su Cheng's army.

After all, after Oed led his army to rescue Leer City, only Gilta's army was left on the north bank of the Shunau River.

Judging from the time, the messenger he sent to deliver the message to Gill should have arrived at Gill's army's position early.

Erd sighed softly again, then raised his hand to rub his somewhat swollen temples.

"If Coach Luo Xie could have listened to my strategy at that time, gathered the total combat power of the entire army, and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army, the result might not be like this... The defense line designed by Luo Xie is simply a piece of shit. !”

After saying that, Erd waved his hand and flicked the map on the table in front of him to the ground, making a loud noise.

Just after Erd just brushed the map in front of him to the ground, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the camp:

"Ode, you seem to be very angry now. It seems that I came at the wrong time."

After hearing these words spoken in a half-joking tone, a look of astonishment flashed across Erd's face, and then he immediately raised his head and looked towards the curtain of the tent.

Just when Erd cast his eyes on the curtain of the tent, the curtain was lifted open.

——A young man with a smile on his face and a handsome face strode into his tent.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who suddenly came to his tent, the look of astonishment on Erd's face became more intense, and then he said blankly:

"Jill...why are you here..."

That's right, the person who appeared in front of Erd was none other than Gilles de Rais, the most eye-catching rising star in the Rollin Empire's military circles and known as the "genius."

The five young men sent this time to lead the 60,000-strong army responsible for resisting Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army: Luo Xie, Simeon, Eugene, Ode, and Gil. These five people can be said to be the young men in the Luolin Empire's military. 5 of the best people of a generation.

Among these five people, the most outstanding and potential one is undoubtedly Gill.

When discussing who should be the overall person in charge of the Eastern Front, many people actually recommended Gill.

The main reason why Luo Xie was finally chosen as the general person in charge of the Eastern Front was simply because Luo Xie had more combat experience than Gill and was more suitable for such a major task. After all, Luo Xie is much older than Jill. Luo Xie is in his 30s this year, while Jill is only 21 years old.

Facing Jill who suddenly appeared in front of him, Erd was surprised.

What is this guy doing here at my position?

- Erd thought to himself.

Just as Erd was thinking this secretly in his heart, Gil, standing in front of him, slowly withdrew the smile on his face.

"The reason why I came to you in the middle of the night is to persuade you."

"Persuade me? What are you advising me? Do you advise me to remember to go to bed early and get up early?" Erd said in a half-joking tone.

Erd and Gil are good friends, so when they chat, they are not very polite to each other.

However, Gil was not amused by Erd's joke just now, but continued to say in a very serious tone:

"Ode, you plan to lead your army to support Eugène early tomorrow morning, am I right?"

Although Erd was surprised why Jill suddenly asked this, Erd still answered obediently:

"Yeah, that's right."

As soon as Erd finished speaking, Gil immediately said:

"Ode, don't save Eugene."

"ha?"

Erd suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"Jill, what did you say?"

"I said - don't save Eugene." Gil said word for word.

Jill! You are crazy! Do you want to ignore your colleagues? !

——Just when this sentence was about to be shouted out of Erd's throat, Jill took the lead and said:

"Ode, we should not go south for rescue now, but should go north."

"Going north? What are we doing going north..."

Before Erd could finish his words, he choked.

Because he suddenly remembered that there was something to the north of them.

"...Jill."

Just now, Erd, who suddenly realized something, said to Jill in a tentative tone:

"You mean - Su Cheng?"

"Well, that's right!"

The corners of Jill's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile full of confidence.

However, his confident smile was also mixed with a bit of ruthlessness.

"We shouldn't waste our precious troops to rescue Ou Ren now! Erde, your troops should join my troops! Then while Su Cheng's East Route Army detached part of its troops to deal with Ou Ren, Concentrate your and my combined superior strength of 40,000 to launch a fierce attack on Su Cheng, who currently has less than 40,000 troops! Kill Su Cheng!"
