Chapter 59: The Battle at the Ferry of Elon (4)

November 5, 289, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.

early morning.

Kingdom of Rund, River V, Ferry of Iren.

The sun showed its face from behind the green hills not far away, and the warmth of the morning sun merged with the gradually dissipating coolness of the night.

The morning sun shines on the water surface of Fuhe River, and the whole Fuhe River looks like a silver python with shiny scales.

It was supposed to be a magnificent and incomparably beautiful scenery, but at this moment, this beautiful scenery was covered with a layer of chilling aura.

Because—a huge army totaling tens of thousands is gathering on the east and west banks of Aeron! Everyone knows that a big battle is about to start.

The 100,000 troops of the Britannia Empire on the west bank and the 60,000 troops of the Carolingian Kingdom on the east bank are silently confronting each other.

Nicholas put the 5th Army into the shape of "T",

The 1st Army, the 3rd Army and the 6th Army form the upper horizontal line of the "T". The three armies line up in turn. From left to right are the 6th Army, the 1st Army, and the 3rd Army. The decisive battle at Elon's Ferry will be dominated by these three armies.

The 7th Army led by Enli and the 10th Army led by Alisa formed the vertical line below the "T". Serve as a reserve.

In order to facilitate the overall command and command of Nicholas, the coach camp was set up in the 7th Army in the middle of the "T" formation.

At this time, Nicholas, who was standing on the high platform and looking at the enemy army on the other side, was deeply frowning, and shouted in his heart:

Something is wrong! What is Allen going to do!

According to the original plan, the soldiers of the 1st Army, 3rd Army, and 6th Army will forcefully cross the river this morning, launch a fierce attack on the enemy on the east bank, and seize the east bank of the Lower Elon Ferry. Army and the 10th Army crossed the river again.

However, before the sun had fully risen today, the enemy suddenly made a new move! And their movements are very strange-they gathered a large number of boats for crossing the river! Not only that, but the enemy's banners were swaying and moving, and the black soldiers like ant colonies formed square formations on the east bank.

It looks like they are about to cross the river to attack their west bank!

Nicholas didn't understand Allen's deployment very much. It stands to reason that he should hold on to the east bank first, defending against the onslaught of their Britannia Imperial Army, and use up the advantage of the location to consume their vigor , and then find the right opportunity to attack.

But what happened to Allen's plan to attack their West Bank before their Britannia Empire?

Although he was very puzzled by Allen's deployment, Nicholas still didn't dare to be careless.

The Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire are a pair of feuds. The war between the two countries has been going on for hundreds of years, and this century-old war is still not over. No one knows how long the two countries will continue to fight.

Because of the frequent wars between the two countries, Nicholas has fought against Allen many times before.

Therefore, he knows better than anyone what a terrible opponent Allen is. Not only does he have extraordinary bravery, but he also has superb commanding skills.

Although the current deployment of the enemy army is very strange, Nicholas feels relieved when he thinks that the current commander of the enemy army is Allen. For him, no matter how strange and incomprehensible the deployment made by Allen, he can understand.

"Send the order!" Nicholas said to the orderly beside him, "Let the commanders and deputy commanders of the 1st, 3rd, and 6th armies get ready! The enemy may attack directly later! Let them Get ready to attack!"

"yes!"

Regardless, it's always good to be careful. Nicholas secretly said in his heart.

The end of the "T" formation, the center of the phalanx of the 10th Army.

"It seems that this battle may have nothing to do with us." Deng Jiaer said, "Our 10th Army is a reserve force. If the 1st Army, 3rd Army, and 6th Army attack smoothly, then our 10th Army The 10th Army may have really just come and gone for a cutscene."

"It's not bad if we don't have anything to do." Alan yawned big, "I'm not interested in fighting or getting military merits. I only care about my brother's safety. If I return to Pendragon safely, then it will be fine for me."

"It's just," Deng Jiaer continued, "the enemy's current deployment is too strange. The biggest weapon they have now is the convenient location of Fuhe, but now they seem to give up their biggest weapon. Killer, crossing the river directly to attack us, this is a stupid move no matter how you think about it, if they come to attack us, it will become the convenience of us having the advantage of Fuhe River! The quantity and quality of their army is already inferior to ours , Now you want to take the initiative to give up Fuhe's geographical advantage to attack us, what is Alan thinking?"

As soon as Deng Jiaer's voice fell, Su Cheng answered:

"Yeah, I'm wondering too."

Su Cheng was also frowning at this moment. Although he couldn't see the situation on the east bank at all from his current position, he was still looking at the east.

He also couldn't figure out why Allen gave up defense and crossed the river directly to attack them.

Does Allen think that the tens of thousands of weak Carolingian Kingdom troops under his command can directly cross the river to defeat their 100,000 army, and then return with a big victory?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Su Cheng couldn't figure out why, so he decided to try to ask other experts.

Su Cheng turned his head and asked Alisa beside him:

"Alyssa, have you understood Alan's deployment?"

Alisa pondered for a while, then replied, "I don't understand either."

Su Cheng gave Alisa a meaningful look.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but Su Cheng always feels that Alisa has been a little weird since early this morning!

Since this morning, Alisa has been evasively looking at him.

There seemed to be a feeling of avoiding him.

What's the matter Miss Alisa?

While Su Cheng wondered what happened to Alisa, Alisa also said in a panic in her heart:

It should be because I think too much...It should be because I think too much... Su Cheng's usual behavior towards me doesn't seem like he likes me at all, right! I should be thinking too much... I should be thinking too much...

...

At the same time, on the west bank of the V River, 10 miles west of the Britannia Empire army.

A roughly counted cavalry army of thousands of people is advancing covertly. All the cavalry soldiers wore light armor, and the horses did not wear any armor.

Every soldier on horseback kept their mouths tightly shut and their faces were full of solemnity, but their solemn expressions were also mixed with a little bit of tension and excitement.

Because they all understand that their next actions will be crucial, almost determining the direction and outcome of this battle at Elon Ferry!

The leader of the cavalry army was tall and tall, wearing light armor, holding a large ax with a gun shaft as thick as a baby's arm, and the light armor on his body tightly wrapped his strong muscles.

A middle-aged man next to him had a weird smile on his face, moved his head closer, and said, "General Allen, it seems that the knights of the Britannia Empire have not noticed our army at all. the true intentions and tactics of the

As soon as Er's words fell, Alan showed a strange smile on his face.
