Chapter 320 Feihai Plain
"An urgent report from the West Route Army?"
Barr frowned and muttered.
The camp, which was originally quarreling constantly, heard the loud shouts outside the tent, and all the generals stopped quarreling in unison.
The entire coaching camp immediately fell silent.
Barr sat upright, leaning on the back of the chair, and then said loudly outside the camp:
"come in!"
"yes!"
The echoes of the messengers came from outside the camp, and then the curtain of the camp was gently lifted, and the dusty messengers quickly walked into the camp.
"Coach Barr!"
While the messenger walked quickly towards Barr who was sitting on the main seat, he put his hand into his arms and took out a sealed roll of parchment.
"This is an urgent report written by General Denis, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front!"
After saying that, the messenger respectfully handed the parchment in his hand towards Barr.
Barr took the roll of parchment and asked the messenger to retreat. Barr deftly untied the sealed roll of parchment, and then read it at a glance.
"What?!"
——After reading this emergency report written by Denis himself, Barr's expression immediately became wonderful, and he shouted loudly.
After hearing Barr's shout, Ciel, who was sitting next to Barr, was completely startled.
He and Barr have also had a long friendship. Charles knows Barr well. He knows that Barr has extremely rich combat experience. During these decades of military career, Barr has already developed extremely strong determination.
Ciel hadn't seen Baal looking so panicked for a long time.
Therefore, Charles just made a little guess and judged that the content of this urgent report from the Western Front must be very bad!
"Barr." Charles said in a deep voice, "What happened on the Western Front?"
"...The sluggish operation on the Western Front has failed! The 50,000-strong army commanded by Allen has broken through the 70,000-strong army of Denis and Leo! Denis and Leo now lead the remaining army to retreat, and Ai Lun Ze led the troops and began to march towards Lixi City!" Barr replied with a dark face, while handing the urgent report to Charles.
"What?!" Charles, like Barr, shouted in disbelief, then quickly took the urgent report from Barr and read it quickly.
After hearing what Barr said, all the generals gathered around the long table also showed expressions of disbelief and horror.
Just as this urgent message was being passed around one by one for reading, Barr shouted at a lower-ranking general:
"Go get me the map!!"
"Yes, it is!"
After receiving this order from Barr, the general immediately went to get the map.
The general moved quickly and immediately took the map and spread it on the long table surrounded by all the generals.
At the same time that the map was laid out on the long table, the urgent report from the Western Front was also circulated by the generals.
At this time, the faces of all the generals, including Barr, were very ugly.
The defeat of the Western Front undoubtedly caused earth-shaking changes in the current war situation!
Originally, with the successful implementation of "Operation Headless Snake", the central front achieved a major victory, crippling the central army, which was the main force of the Britannia Army, and turning the overall battle situation of this battle towards them. The Luo Lin Empire is tilted in its favor!
However, now that the defeat on the western front has allowed the Britannia Army to regain another 10%!
The current overall war situation has changed from being beneficial to the Luo Lin Empire to a balance of power between both sides!
"Damn it..." a general cursed secretly, "We have finally established an advantage over the Britannia Army. This defeat on the western front has completely eliminated the advantage we finally established... "
"Okay." Barr, who had regained his composure, glanced at the general coldly, "There is no point in shirking responsibility and blaming each other here now. Let's discuss the next countermeasures.
"
After saying that, Barr stood up and leaned on the map.
"The current situation is that the Western Front has been defeated. Denis and Leo's 70,000 troops have lost about 10,000 troops. Denis and Leo are now leading the remaining 60,000 troops to retreat all the way towards the rear. Lixi City is retreating."
"After Allen defeated Denis and Leo, he also began to march south. According to Denis's report, Alan's troops were pointed directly at Lixi City!"
When Baal said this, Ciel next to Baal interjected:
"It seems that this Allen wants to lure him as the main force there."
"Well, that's right." Barr nodded, "Lixi City stores most of our luggage, and it is also located on a strategic location. No matter what, we cannot abandon Lixi City."
"It seems that Allen plans to reproduce the original strategy of the Central Route Army: attack Lixi City, lure us to lead the main force to return for reinforcements, and then engage in a decisive battle with us in the wild to completely eliminate us in the wild."
"I have to say that this strategy of directly attacking Lixi City is really great. We knew that they were just to lure us to lead the main force, but we still had to do it and had to follow the wishes of the Britannia army. Lead the main force to the rescue. After all, we cannot abandon Lixi City no matter what. Once Lixi City is captured, most of the baggage will be lost, and we will also be cut off from our retreat."
"According to Denis' report, I don't know what Allen did to make the morale of the Western Route Army so high now. He and Leo can no longer stop Allen with their own combat power and need our support... "
"There is no other way, give up chasing Albert!" Barr said decisively, "Now stop Allen's advance and keep Lixi City as the top priority!"
After hearing what Barr said, the generals who advocated continuing to pursue Albert opened their mouths and were about to say something to argue, but in the end they shut their mouths obediently.
They are not fools. They can all see that based on the current battle situation, blocking Allen and protecting Lixi City and Deni's troops are far more important than annihilating Albert.
At this time, Charles, who was sitting next to Baal, also stood up and talked eloquently:
"Based on our current position, as well as the marching speed and position of the Allen Army reported in Denis's emergency report, if we join forces now to rescue Lixi City, we will be 10 miles northwest of Lixi City. On the Feihai Plain outside, we will join forces with Denis' troops and make contact with Allen's Western Route Army."
As he spoke, Charles raised his finger and touched the large plain northwest of the small square that represented Lixi City on the map.
Ten miles northwest of Lixi City, there is a large and vast plain - Feihai Plain.
This was once an ancient battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops fought.
About a hundred years ago, a great rebellion broke out in the Luolin Empire.
The Luolin Empire's official army and the rebel army, with a total strength of hundreds of thousands, started the final battle on the Feihai Plain.
There were countless casualties in this battle, and the blood from the dead soldiers dyed the vegetation and soil on the ground blood red.
Therefore, after the battle, people named this great plain "Feihai".
——A name that sounds very poetic, but the reason for the name is so chilling.
More than a hundred years have passed, and the bloody atmosphere of this ancient battlefield has finally slowly dissipated.
The Feihai Plain has now become a densely populated civilian area with a harmonious atmosphere.
"Feihai Plain..." Baal whispered, "That's where civilians live..."
at this time--
"Commander! An urgent message is being sent to the Eastern Front!!"
——Another shout came from outside the tent.
"Eastern Front?" Barr's face was as dark as coal. "Why is there an urgent report on the Eastern Front... Let the messengers come in!!"
After receiving Barr's permission to enter the tent, the messenger from the Eastern Front immediately entered the military tent and delivered an urgent report from the Eastern Front to Barr.
After launching the emergency report on the eastern front, Barr immediately read it quickly.
After reading the emergency report from the Eastern Front, Barr's face became even more ugly, and his breathing became heavier due to the violent emotional ups and downs.
"Bad news is something that you always save up..." Barr said solemnly, "The delayed operation on the eastern front also failed. Su Cheng defeated the 60,000-strong army with only 5,000 people left. Simeon It was confirmed that they were killed in the battle, and Eugène, Ode, and Gil did not know whether they were alive or dead, and only Luo Xie was left alone with 5,000 people to guard Mayin City."
