Chapter 56: Battle at the Ferry of Elon (1)

Early the next morning.

Britannia Empire Rescue Army camp.

After a night of rest, when the sky just turned white, the bell rang loudly in the camp, waking up all the 100,000 soldiers who were still sleeping.

The 100,000 troops on this expedition are soldiers of the most elite Gabriel Knights in the empire, so they are undoubtedly elite divisions.

After hearing the "wake-up bell", they all quickly jumped out of the bed and quickly started to tidy up.

Soon, tens of thousands of military tents formed by 100,000 troops shrank and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and military flags were pulled up from the ground.

The Britannia Rescue Force is back on the straight as the sun casts its first rays!

The sun's rays shone on the armor and weapons of the soldiers, reflecting a dazzling light.

An army of 100,000 marched to the Ferry of Yilun on the Fu River!

At the forefront of the 10th Army, Su Cheng yawned big while riding a horse.

Last night's military meeting was held very late, and it didn't end until nearly 23:00.

The result of discussing all night, that is - to go to Yiren Ferry, if Alan did not stick to Yiren Ferry, it would be better to say, if Alan sticks to Yiren Ferry, then rely on the number and quality of the army to attack Yiren ferry!

"Brother, are you okay?" Alan said on the side, "You don't look very well."

"It's okay." Su Cheng rubbed his eyes, "It's just a lack of sleep. I only slept for less than 6 hours last night, so sleepy... Really, why did it take so long to hold a meeting? My legs hurt from standing up late."

Because the military meeting was held very late last night, it also made Su Cheng return to the tent to sleep very late last night.

And the day before yesterday did not get enough sleep, because the day before yesterday also had to get up early in the morning to rush to the outskirts of Pendragon, to the army assembly point.

So he didn't get enough sleep for two consecutive days, so Su Cheng's current complexion can be said to be very bad.

However, Alan and Deng Jiaer looked very good today, because they both went to bed very early last night, so they slept very well and were in good spirits.

"Then sir, you should have a good sleep tonight." Deng Jiaer said worriedly, "Your face is very pale now."

"yes?"

Su Cheng rubbed his face, because there is no mirror here, so Su Cheng can't see his face.

But now I feel very sleepy and my head is dizzy, so what Deng Jiaer said should not be a lie.

"Then let me take advantage of the time when the army stopped marching to rest today, so let's take a good look."

At this moment, Alisa's voice suddenly came from behind Su Cheng.

"Su Cheng!"

Su Cheng followed the sound and looked back.

Wearing white and gold armor and a golden knight sword on her waist, Alisa rode a tall white horse and walked towards him majestically.

Alisa's complexion is very rosy now, her eyes are piercing, and she looks very energetic.

Looking at Alisa who was very energetic, Su Cheng couldn't help opening his eyes, and said:

"Miss Alisa, last night you and I obviously had a meeting late, but why are you so energetic?"

"I joined the army at the age of 15, and it is now the fourth year. I have long been used to this kind of extremely short sleep time." Alyssa said lightly.

"Then, Miss Alyssa." Su Cheng said, "What are you going to come to me for? Could it be another meeting tonight?"

"That's not true. There are so many meetings to be held." Alisa said coldly, "I just came here to warn you. You are now the deputy commander of the 10th Army, which means you are now the entire 10th Army. The second-in-command, don't do things that are detrimental to the military's appearance, such as taking a nap on the horse.

"

"Yeah? Miss Alisa, how do you know I'm sleepy now?"

After all, Su Cheng rubbed his face vigorously, so that he could become more energetic.

"I saw you half dead when I came out of the army tent this morning." Speaking of this, Alisa's tone became gentler, "If you really want to sleep, wait until the army sleeps." Go to sleep when you are resting, in short, don’t do things that damage the military’s appearance during the march, that’s all I have to say, I’m leaving.”

As soon as Alisa finished speaking, she turned her horse's head and went back to the middle of the 10th Army's column.

After watching Alisa leave, Su Cheng murmured: "Is my complexion so bad now..."

"Well," Alan nodded seriously, "it's very bad."

"However, what Miss Alyssa said just now makes sense," Su Cheng said with a smile, "I am now one of the senior commanders in this battle, and I really shouldn't do anything that would damage the military's appearance, Alan, If I doze off on horseback later, remember to shake me up."

"Hmm! No problem." After finishing speaking, Alan rapped his small chest hard.

"Sir," Deng Jiaer said suddenly, "so we are going directly to the Ferry of Elon now?"

"Well, yes." Su Cheng nodded, "Alan is very likely to deploy defenses at the Yiren Ferry. As long as we break through the Yilun Ferry, then we will be more than half successful."

After all, Su Cheng shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "It's just that in this battle, we may not have anything to do with it. The coach intends to let the 1st Army, the 3rd Army, and the 6th Army be the main offensive, while the 7th Army And our 10th Army stayed in the rear as a reserve force, that is to say, we may not have any combat achievements to take in this battle."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Deng Jiaer's face instantly collapsed, "Don't you have any military achievements?"

"Well, anyway, I don't care even if I don't have military achievements," Su Cheng said with a smile, "I didn't plan to get any great military achievements in this battle from the beginning. It's nothing to say, just take it easy, Deng Jiaer."

...

At the same time, outside Heron City, the camp of the Carolingian Kingdom Army.

The dense sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the camp in the early morning.

Generals at all levels of the Carolingian Kingdom Army immediately followed the sound of horseshoes to greet them.

Because they understand-their current coach "Steel Bones" Alan Jones is now back!

After Allen returned to the camp, he quickly got off his horse and handed the horse's reins to a soldier next to him.

Before waiting for the generals at all levels to greet him, Allen said:

"Leave 20,000 of the weakest soldiers to continue to besiege Heron City! The other 60,000 troops move out!"

After hearing Allen's words, the generals at all levels were startled,

"Commander, what do you mean..." a general stepped forward and asked tentatively.

"Well, that's right." Allen nodded, "The 20,000 troops continue to besiege the city, don't let the king of the Lund Kingdom run away! The remaining 60,000 troops follow me to the Yiren Ferry! We are at the Yiren Ferry and Brittany The Ya army is engaged in a decisive battle!"
