Chapter 58: The Battle at the Ferry of Elon (3)

The 10th Army ranks at the front.

Su Cheng already felt gusts of cool wind carrying water vapor blowing towards his face.

It's almost there! Just five more miles and you'll be at Elon's Ferry!

"Woo...it's so cold." Alan shrank his shoulders while complaining about the cold wind.

After more than ten days of trekking, it was late October when we set off, and it is now November.

After entering November, Su Cheng felt that the temperature had begun to drop significantly, and it had begun to slowly enter winter.

Su Cheng felt it roughly, the current temperature is about 13 degrees to 18 degrees.

It's just that the Britannia Empire has already prepared for the possible drop in temperature. Before the army set off, it had mobilized enough warm clothes, stoves, and coal for an army of 100,000, so the army did not need it. Worried about the drop in temperature.

It's just that Alan has always been afraid of the cold, so although she has already put on enough warm clothes under the armor, she still couldn't help shrinking her shoulders when the cold wind blew.

"Brother!" Alan stretched out his hands towards Su Cheng with a bitter face, "My hands are so cold!"

Su Cheng helplessly held Alan's cold hands, and gently rubbed her to warm them up.

"Be patient, Alan. Wow, your hands are so cold, why are you so impatient... I'll buy you a pair of gloves when I get back to Pendragon."

"Hey hey, brother's hands are so warm."

"Wow... Mom, help me, there is a brother and sister showing off their intimacy here." Deng Jiaer complained while holding his forehead.

"We are about to arrive at the Ferry of Yiren." Su Cheng said, "Just now the coach Nicholas also sent the latest information: Allen deployed tens of thousands of heavy troops to guard the east bank of the Ferry of Yiren. Arrived at Aeron's Ferry, so the battle will soon begin, you two, get ready."

"Brother." Alan said suddenly, "Is that Alan Jones very strong? Why does it feel like everyone around him is afraid of him?"

"Yes, this Alan Jones is terrible."

Su Cheng continued to rub Alan's hands warm, and then said: "We have two biggest threats in this battle, one is Alan Jones who is now commanding the 80,000 troops of the Carolingian Kingdom, and the other is Alan Jones from the Frankish Empire. The 4,000 Iron Armored Paladins brought over."

"Alan Jones is a famous general of the Frankish Empire. He not only has extraordinary strategy and command skills, but also has incomparable bravery. He is especially good at commanding cavalry. He is a fearsome general with both wisdom and courage. In battle, he is even more He likes to take the lead and personally lead the cavalry to charge, because of his bravery, he was given the nickname of "Steel Bone" by people."

"Over the past decade or so, in the war between our Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire, Allen's performance has been extremely dazzling, causing our Britannia Empire to suffer a lot, so we Britannia Many people in the Ya Empire are very afraid of Allen."

"As for the armored cavalry, that is the ace unit of the Frankish Empire. Like the Holy Hieran Empire, the Frankish Empire borders on the prairie to the east, and the prairie is rich in fine horses. The Frankish Empire will regularly buy fine horses from the prairie people on the prairie. So the Frankish Empire formed a powerful cavalry force with these fine horses purchased from the steppe."

At this time, Alan answered, "It's the Iron Armored Paladin, right?"

"Well, that's right." Su Cheng nodded, "The Frankish Empire has formed a 20,000-strong heavy cavalry unit, which is the Iron Armored Paladin. The Iron Armored Paladin is equipped with heavy cavalry. Very lethal."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused, and then continued:

"Thinking about it this way, the Frankish Empire is quite interesting to the Carolingian Kingdom. It's fine to send the famous general Allen to help, but there are only 20,000 armored paladins.

4,000 people were sent to help. "

"It's just, sir." Deng Jiaer said suddenly, "Now that Allen chooses to stick to the east bank of Elon's Ferry and prevent us from successfully crossing the river, then his Iron Armored Paladins will be useless. The river battle can't exert too much combat power, so the only threat we have in this battle is Allen."

"I hope so." Allen said with a wry smile.

...

Before the sun completely sank to the horizon, the Britannia army finally walked the last 5 miles and arrived at the west bank of the Ferry of Elon!

After arriving at the west bank of Yilun Ferry, they saw that the east bank of Yilun Ferry is already full of banners and various simple fortifications have been built.

It seems that Allen has led the army to wait for their Britannia Imperial Army at the Ferry of Yiren for a long time!

Just like that, the 100,000 Britannian Imperial Army on the west bank of Yiren Ferry and the 60,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army on the east bank of Yiren Ferry began to confront each other across the wide water of the Fu River!

After arriving at the Ferry of Elon, Nicholas ordered to set up camp, because it was too late now, and the army also needed to rest and recover their strength, so Nicholas did not reach the Ferry of Elon, and then launched an attack on the opposite bank.

When ordering to set up camp, Nicholas did not forget to tell his people to keep an eye on the movement of the enemy army on the opposite side, and not to let the enemy army launch a sneak attack when they had just arrived and their physical strength had not recovered.

...

night.

River V, Ferry of Aeron.

The banks of Aeron's Ferry were brightly lit, and the dazzling flames almost illuminated half of the sky.

For the east wind was blowing now, and the icy cold wind was blowing from the east bank, across the wide, dark water of the Fu River, and came to the west bank.

Following the cool wind blowing, the soldiers of the Britannia Imperial Army on the west bank could faintly hear the chatter and laughter of the Carolingian Kingdom Army camp on the east bank.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army camp.

The commanders, deputy commanders, and commander-in-chief Nicholas of the entire army are gathering in the commander's camp.

"According to the information sent by the King of the Lund Kingdom," said Nicholas, who was seated at the head seat, "they saw with their own eyes that the large enemy troops who had besieged the city broke out and left, but there were still about 20,000 people left to continue to besiege Heron City. , In other words, the number of enemy troops on the other side is about 60,000."

"That's good." Enli said, "Now our army's numerical advantage has been strengthened, so it will be easier to storm the Ferry of Aeron."

"It's just," Alisa frowned, "the east wind is blowing now! We are attacking from the west bank to the east bank. This wind direction is not good for us. Should we stay on the west bank first and wait for the wind direction to change before attacking?" ?”

Nicholas shook his head.

"The current wind direction is not so easy to change, and we can only bite the bullet, but fortunately, the current wind is not too strong, and we will not fall into too great a disadvantage."

Nicholas stood up with a "huh".

"Then, it's decided! Tomorrow morning, we will storm the Ferry of Elon! The 1st, 3rd, and 6th armies will be the main attackers! Tomorrow morning, the 1st army will attack first!"

As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, the army commanders and deputy army commanders shouted in unison:

"yes!"

Afterwards, the meeting ended, and the army commanders and deputy army commanders walked out of the commander's camp one after another.

In this military meeting, Su Cheng was the same as last time, standing behind, not saying a word, being quiet and transparent.

For this battle of crossing the river, Su Cheng did not come up with any good strategies and tactics. The Fuhe River has a large amount of water and the current is fast. There is no other place to cross the river except the Yiren Ferry. With only one ferry In addition to relying on the quality and quantity of strong soldiers to storm the ferry, there are no other tricks to play.

After leaving the commander's camp, Su Cheng walked straight to his military tent.

While walking towards his military tent, he suddenly heard someone calling himself from behind:

"Hey! Su Cheng! Wait a minute!"

Su Cheng followed the sound and looked back.

Enli is one of the "Twin Generals" and serves as the commander of the 7th Army!

Enli pouted his chin aside, and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Although Su Cheng didn't know what Enli wanted to tell him, it was not easy to tell him "thank you, I won't go", so Su Cheng chose to obediently follow Enli and listen to what Enli wanted to tell him .

In this battle, the "Twin Generals" of the Britannia Empire also participated. Enley Hunt served as the commander of the 7th Army, and Alisa Hill served as the commander of the 10th Army.

At this time, Alisa was also about to walk into her military tent. When she walked back to her military tent, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures out of the corner of her eye.

Ok? Isn't this Enli? And Su Cheng? What are they two going to do?

Alisa was puzzled. She knew very well that although she didn't know the reason, Enli disliked Su Cheng even more than she did. What were they going to do for two nights?

In order to dispel the doubts in her heart, Alyssa decided to follow them secretly!

...

Enli led Su Cheng to the army camp, a remote place, so remote that there were no lights to illuminate it, Su Cheng could only rely on the moonlight to barely see everything around him.

After arriving at this remote place, Enli finally stopped, then turned around, and looked directly at Su Cheng—but it was too dark here, and Su Cheng couldn't see his face clearly, but according to his From the outline of the body, it felt that Enli was indeed looking directly at him.

However, neither Su Cheng nor Enli noticed that a beautiful figure was hiding behind a tree behind Su Cheng.

Alyssa, who was hiding behind the tree, quietly put out half of her head, secretly looking at Su Cheng and Enli.

Fortunately, it was very dark here, neither Enli nor Su Cheng noticed that Alisa was hiding here to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Su Cheng," Enli said, "compete with me!"

"what?"

Su Cheng looked at Enli in a daze.

Alisa, who was hiding behind the tree, was also at a loss at this time, wondering why Enli suddenly wanted to compete with Su Cheng.

"To tell you the truth, I don't like you." Enli continued, "I always thought that you were just a person who talked about military affairs and the art of war, but after you defeated 30,000 people with 5,000 people, I also have to admit your talent."

"But I still feel dissatisfied!" Enli suddenly said loudly, "Although I admit your talent, I really want to know - you or me, which one is stronger!"

"So, let's take advantage of this Lund Kingdom rescue battle, let's compete and see who can win the greater battle in this Lund Kingdom rescue battle!"

Su Cheng looked at Enli speechlessly.

I thought to myself: Is there anything wrong with this young man? What is there to compare this kind of thing? Is the self-esteem too strong, so no one is allowed to be stronger than him among his peers?

At this time, Su Cheng suddenly remembered what Jacob said to him before: Enli is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others.

At this time, Enli continued: "If I win, you just need to lead me to the stirrup and lead me into Pendragon. If you win, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't violate morals." , the law, you can ask me to do anything.”

"Oh, really?"

Su Cheng originally lacked interest in Enli's competition and just wanted to reject it directly, but now he is more interested!

Su Cheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, then I will participate in your competition. Anyway, for me, it is nothing to lead you into Pendragon, so this For me, it doesn't matter whether I win or lose, so I don't care about winning or losing this game."

"I've already thought about it now. After you lose, I want what you will do for me."

"What's the matter?" Enli said lightly.

"I want you not to see or speak to Alyssa for 2 months."

"what?!"

Enli's tone became unsteady for an instant.

At this time, behind the trees.

Alisa tightly covered her cherry lips. She almost exclaimed just now, but in desperation, she bit her tongue to suppress the exclamation that had flowed to her mouth.

Alisa cried out in her heart:

You compete as you compete, what do you do with me!

"Why do you want me not to meet or talk to Alisa for two months?" Enli asked urgently.

After hearing Enli's question, Alisa quickly pricked up her ears. She was also curious why Su Cheng said such a thing.

"Well... this one."

Su Cheng pondered.

The reason why he said that was because he had vaguely felt it—Enli liked Alisa!

During the march of more than ten days, whenever it was time to rest, Enli would always run from the 7th Army to their 10th Army to chat and talk with Alisa.

Therefore, Su Cheng felt that Enli must have liked Alisa, and even if he didn't like it, he must have a good impression.

Therefore, in order to satisfy his bad taste, Su Cheng asked Enli to stop seeing or talking to Alisa for two months if he lost.

However, Su Cheng didn't want to tell Enli bluntly that he was doing it to satisfy his bad taste—he decided to tell him tactfully.

"Because," Su Cheng said, "I don't want to see you meeting and talking with Alisa."

As soon as the words fell, Su Cheng smugly smug in his heart: I said this really well! It's tactful, but it's not a lie!

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Enli showed an expression of disbelief, but it was too dark for Su Cheng to see his expression clearly.

And Alisa, who was hiding behind the tree, had exactly the same expression as Enli at this time-a look of surprise and disbelief.

Alisa thought to herself: I don't want to see Enli and I meet and talk... What do you mean? I seem to have heard some of my female friends say that when a boy does not want another boy to have too much contact with a certain girl, it means——

Alyssa, who realized something, suddenly felt a little hot on her cheeks.

If Alisa had a mirror in her hand now, she would see that her cheeks were beginning to flush.

At this time, the conversation between Enli and Su Cheng resumed.

"Su Cheng..." Enli said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you...to Alyssa..."

Before Enli finished speaking, Su Cheng quickly interrupted him.

"Well, just think about it as you like." Su Cheng shrugged with a smirk, "Anyway, don't forget that after you lose the game, just do what I asked you to do."

After finishing speaking, Su Cheng turned around and left.

Sensing that Su Cheng was about to leave, Alisa, whose cheeks were still flushed, quickly buried her body tightly in the shadow of the trees.

With the help of the shadow of the trees and the dark surroundings, Alyssa successfully concealed her traces. Su Cheng, who was leaving, did not notice that behind a tree not far away, there was a man hiding his cheeks. A reddened, hot girl.
