Chapter 880: The Commander as a Scout (Part 1)
Holy Hiran Empire, rescue force, commander's tent.
Nikita summoned all the senior generals in the army and held an emergency military meeting to share all the intelligence collected so far with all the generals.
Both sides of the long table in the commander's tent were filled with all the senior generals in the army.
"Is everyone here?" Nikita moved his eyes and scanned the faces of everyone in front of him, "Since everyone is here, let's start."
"According to the intelligence that the scouts have gathered so far, the Eastern Route Army of the Britannia Army is now besieging the city of Fuka, 80 miles to the west.
"The walls of Fuka City are high and thick, and there are about 1,000 defenders in the city. Therefore, the defenders of Fuka City are still stubbornly resisting the attack of the Britannia Army, but if we don't rescue them in time, According to them, it’s only a matter of time before Fuka City falls.”
"There are about 10,000 troops besieging Fuka City."
"10,000?" A general sitting not far from Nikita frowned, "Why are there so few? The total strength of the Eastern Route Army of the Britannia Army should not be only 10,000, right?"
"That's right." Nikita nodded, "I think so too. So I guess - this force that is besieging Fuka City should be just the vanguard force of the Eastern Route Army."
"The main force..." another general murmured, "Where is the main force of the Eastern Route Army now?"
Nikita shook his head: "Now we have only discovered the location of the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army. It is still unknown where their main force is."
"But my guess is that their main force should not be far from the vanguard."
"Commander." An older general with white hair and beard asked Nikita, "Have the scouts found out who the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army's vanguard force is?"
As soon as the elderly general finished speaking, Nikita immediately replied:
"According to the scouts, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army's vanguard is a little girl named Deng Jiaer O'Brien."
"Denggar O'Brien?"
"who is she?"
"I've never heard of this person..."
"Have you not heard of it either?"
"I thought Su Cheng would let strong generals like Raymond and Samuel lead the vanguard. Who is this Deng Jiaer? This is unheard of."
"I have heard of the surname O'Brien. It is said that this surname is quite famous in the Britannia Empire."
…
After Nikita said Deng Jiaer's name, everyone present immediately started discussing it.
After a heated discussion, no one, including Nikita, knew who Deng Jiaer was.
In the end, a younger general recalled some information about Deng Jiaer.
"Deng Jia'er...I seem to remember who it is."
"If I remember correctly, this Deng Jiaer should be only 18 years old this year."
"It is said that she started assisting Su Cheng before he became a knight."
"During the 'Xia Feng' offensive three years ago, this Deng Jiaer also made great contributions."
"Great merit?" an old general sitting next to this person asked, "What kind of great merit?"
"I don't remember the specific details very clearly."
"I just remember that she seemed to be commanding the cavalry and flexibly changed the tactics. She wiped out a lot of Luo Lin's troops on the eastern battlefield of the 'Xia Feng' offensive. She also became a knight in one fell swoop with this battle."
"Oh!" As soon as this person finished speaking, a general sitting opposite him exclaimed, "Listen to what you said,
I just remembered it! There is a little girl who made great achievements in the "Xia Feng" offensive, and her name seems to be Deng Jiaer. "
"I seem to be slowly remembering it..."
"I also remembered that Deng Jiaer became a knight at an astonishing speed, but since the end of the 'Xia Feng' offensive, she has not been very active, and I have almost forgotten her as a person. ”
…
After the young general's reminder just now, many people gradually recalled who Deng Jiaer was and what achievements he had made.
Nikita also nodded solemnly at this time.
"Thank you for the information you provided." Nikita first thanked the young general who first remembered who Deng Jiaer was. "The information you just provided about Deng Jiaer is very useful to us."
"It seems that - this Deng Jiaer is not an easy person to deal with..."
After thinking for a while, Nikita raised his head and said seriously to the generals in front of him:
"Although this Deng Jiaer is young and has not fought many battles, no one should underestimate her!"
"Being appointed as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard force also shows how much she is trusted and valued by Su Cheng."
"The person who can be trusted and valued by Su Cheng is definitely not a mediocre person who can be easily dealt with!"
"Therefore - no one should despise this Deng Jiaer!"
"We must use the mentality to fight against Su Cheng to fight against this Deng Jiaer!"
"have you understood?"
As soon as Nikita finished speaking, the generals in front of him straightened their waists and said loudly:
"clear!"
…
The rescue force has collected very little information, so in a short while, almost all the information that can be shared with the generals has been shared.
When the military meeting was about to break up, Nikita announced the plan for the next few days to the generals.
"We have collected too little intelligence so far."
"We are in urgent need of sufficient intelligence now."
"So in the next few days, the entire army will stay where they are and stop advancing."
"Let the entire army recuperate while sending more scouts to speed up the collection of intelligence."
"When we have collected enough intelligence, we will continue to advance!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say. The meeting is disbanded!"
Generals: "Yes!"
...
...
The military meeting of the Holy Xilan Empire rescue force has just been disbanded, while Deng Jiaer's military meeting has just begun.
After the scouts found the traces of the Holy Xilan Empire's rescue force, Deng Jiaer sent out all her scouts.
Of course, the siege of Fuka City cannot be stopped.
Although the walls of Fuka City are high and wide, it has a fatal weakness, that is, the lack of garrison troops in the city.
There are only about 1,000 garrisons in Fuka City, and Fuka City has a full 6 walls to defend.
Each wall had to be guarded by a guard, which made the city of Fuka, which already had a small number of defenders, even more stretched in terms of manpower.
Under the fierce attack of 10,000 vanguard troops, the city of Fuka was on the verge of falling.
These days, the vanguard troops besieged Fuka while collecting intelligence on the reinforcements of the Holy Xilan Empire.
Until today, after collecting a certain amount of intelligence, Deng Jiaer convened a military meeting and summoned all the senior officers of the vanguard troops to share the intelligence collected so far with them.
