The sound of charging horns resounded throughout the land.
The 1st Army, 6th Army, and 10th Army, which were waiting in full formation, immediately began to charge after hearing the charge!
The 3rd Army, which had been retreating, also stopped its retreat and turned towards Allen's Army on the west bank of the Wei River!
The remnants of the 7th Army continued to stay in the rear and stood still.
Before the war started, Su Cheng made detailed combat arrangements:
Su Cheng personally led the 3rd Army to attack the east bank of the Wei River, luring Allen to lead the attack, and leading Allen and his pursuit troops to the west bank of the Wei River.
After leading Allen's army to the west bank of the Wei River, Su Cheng will raise yellow smoke and notify Alyssa who is guarding the upper reaches of the Wei River to destroy the "dam" and release the water.
After destroying the "dam" and storing water for many days, the water level downstream will skyrocket, completely cutting off the retreat route of the enemy troops who landed on the west bank of the Shangwei River.
Then, Su Cheng will order the charge horn to be blown.
After the charge horn sounded, the 1st Army, 6th Army, and 10th Army, which had been waiting in tight formation, began to charge to encircle and suppress the enemy forces on the west bank of the Wei River.
Because the commander of the 10th Army, Alyssa, was responsible for guarding and managing the "dam" on the upper reaches of the Wei River, Su Cheng handed over the command of the 10th Army to the deputy commander of the 1st Army.
Su Cheng also made detailed arrangements for the attack directions of each army.
The 1st Army outflanked and attacked from the left wing, the 6th Army made a frontal attack, and the 10th Army outflanked and attacked from the right wing.
The 3rd Army, which was responsible for retreating and luring the enemy, had to stop retreating after hearing the charge horn and join the 6th Army in attacking the enemy from the front.
The four armies totaled nearly 80,000 people and attacked the enemy from three directions!
The purpose is to completely wipe out the enemy troops who have landed on the west bank of the Wei River and whose retreat has been cut off!
Half a month before the army set off, Su Cheng studied information about Allen every day.
After months of painstaking research, Su Cheng discovered that Allen was very good at commanding cavalry battles, and he was also a person who liked to personally lead cavalry charges.
It is precisely because of Allen's personality that he likes to lead troops in charge personally and his extremely brave posture that he is nicknamed "Cyborg".
Therefore, when Su Cheng planned this "Weihe Annihilation War", he guessed that Allen would have a high probability of personally leading the armored holy cavalry to pursue the bait he had laid.
And now, just as Su Cheng had guessed, Allen personally led the armored holy cavalry to pursue the bait he had laid out, just as Su Cheng had guessed.
Now, Allen, his armored paladins, and the 20,000 Carolingian troops who landed ashore remained on the west bank of the Wei River.
The battle situation developed so smoothly that Su Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Su Cheng, who was riding a horse and standing on a tall rock, looked at Allen's army, which was surrounded by 80,000 troops, and said with a faint smile on his face:
"You lost, 'Cyborg' Allen Jones..."
…
The enemy's charging horns are constantly heard.
The dark enemy forces were approaching from three directions.
The rising water level behind him cut off his retreat.
Everything deeply stimulated Allen's nerves.
Also stimulating Allen's nerves were the shouts of the armored paladin behind him.
"Commander! What to do! The enemy is coming!"
"Coach! Coach!"
"Coach Allen! Let's retreat quickly!"
"Idiot! How to evacuate?! With Weihe looking like this, tell me how to evacuate?! Coach! Don't listen to them! Let's attack directly! If we break forward, we can still be saved!"
"Coach!"
"Coach!!"
…
In addition to the shouts of the armored holy cavalry, there were also the screams of the 20,000 Carolingian troops who also landed on the west bank of the Wei River.
"Ahhh! It's over! There's no way to go back!!!"
"How to do how to do?!"
"Where's Coach Allen?!"
"Coach Allen! Help us!"
"The back road is blocked, and there is a large army coming to encircle and suppress us in front! We are doomed!"
"You cowards! What are you afraid of? Stand up quickly! Pick up the gun!"
"Our large army is still on the east bank of the Wei River! How can we defeat so many enemy troops on the west bank with just a few of us! Don't forget that there are nearly 90,000 Britannians on the west bank now!
We have only 20,000 people who have landed on the West Bank now! How can we win if 20,000 people fight against 90,000 people?!"
…
The anxious look on Er'er's face became more and more intense.
This was the first time he saw Allen acting so rude.
At this time, Allen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, his lips were slightly open, and he looked dull.
Looking at Allen who seemed to be stunned, Er gritted his teeth, grabbed Allen's shoulders in desperation, and shook Allen violently.
"General Allen! Wake up! If even you give up! Then we are really doomed! Please be sure to regain your composure quickly!! Please wake up quickly!!!"
Under Er's violent shaking, Allen's dull, lifeless eyes gradually regained their vitality.
"Yes..." Allen murmured in a low voice, "If I give up... then I will really lose..."
After finishing speaking, Allen's eyes regained their radiance.
Fighting spirit burned again in Allen's eyes.
Allen waved his hand and slapped away Er's hands grabbing his shoulders.
"Thank you, Er. I'm fine."
After Allen thanked Er in a low voice, he reached his right hand towards his left waist and pulled out his sword with a "clop" sound.
After drawing out his sword, Allen put the blade close to his left arm, and then made a light stroke.
The sharp sword blade cut through the skin, and bright red blood beads dripped out one after another along the wound.
The pain from his left arm stimulated Allen's brain.
Under the stimulation of this pain, Allen felt that his brain had regained some calmness, and the pain also suppressed the confusion and fear in his heart.
Allen shouted to himself in his mind:
Calm down and think about countermeasures, Alan Jones!
The Britannia Army did not know what means they used to cause a large amount of water to suddenly gush out from the upper reaches of the Wei River, causing the current water level of the Wei River to rise sharply.
In other words, the escape route has been cut off. Before the water level drops, there is no way to return to the east coast.
Retreat is no longer feasible.
And the more than 50,000 people on the east bank of the Wei River are unable to come to support us because of high water levels.
Waiting for support is no longer an option.
In other words, the combat power I can use now is only 3,400 armored holy cavalry and 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom troops who have landed together.
The 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom troops cannot be used anymore.
This sudden flood not only cut off our retreat, but also hit our morale. Now the 20,000 Carolingian troops have fallen into panic, their morale has plummeted, and they are on the verge of collapse. The collapsed army has no way to command it.
Already.
There are only 3,400 elite armored paladins available now. Although the morale of the armored paladins has also been affected due to the flood, they are indeed the elite troops that our Frank Empire is proud of! Although the morale
It was affected, but it did not collapse like the 20,000 Carolingian Kingdom troops!
Okay! As long as the armored paladin can still listen to my command, there is still a chance to solve the current bad situation!
With only heavy cavalry available, there is only one way to do it...
…
After thinking about a countermeasure, Allen raised the ax gun in his hand high. Then he shouted loudly:
"Everyone of the Iron Armored Holy Cavalry Troops!!"
After hearing Allen's voice, the armored paladins stopped shouting and arguing, and obediently turned their attention to Allen.
Allen continued to shout: "The current situation is unprecedentedly bad! We may all have to answer here!"
"but!"
Allen's conversation changed.
"Are you willing to believe me!!"
"Do you want to believe that I can lead you to retreat?!"
"Now we have only one option! That is to charge towards the enemy in front! Use brute force to tear open a hole and break out!!"
"I know this method is very messy, but this is the only way now! We only have more than 3,000 people, but we have to break through the encirclement and suppression of nearly 100,000 troops, so the chance of success can be said to be very slim!"
"But! This is better than us sitting here and waiting to die!!"
"Of course! You can also choose to dismount now and kneel on the ground to beg for surrender! In this way, the people of Britannia may see you as pitiful and spare you!!"
"You can choose whichever one you want! But let me say it first, I, Allen Jones, will never just sit back and wait for death! I will definitely try my best to fight with the enemy until the last moment!! I want to charge! Even if I
The horse fell! I will also use my legs to charge!! Use the sword in my hand to cut a way out!!!"
"What about you?! You guys of the Iron-clad Holy Cavalry! Which one do you want to choose?! Do you want to charge with me and fight for a way out? Or do you want to kneel on the ground and beg for surrender?!"
As soon as Allen finished speaking, there was a sneer from the armored holy cavalry.
"Humph, what are you talking about, Coach Allen? Of course I choose to fight side by side with you until the last moment!!"
After this shout fell, other shouts rang out one after another in the queue of the armored holy cavalry.
"I don't want to beg for surrender from the wild dogs of the Britannia Empire!!"
"Kill! Kill!!"
"Coach Allen! Lead us to charge! I am the armored paladin of the Frank Empire! Even if I die, I should die on the back of a charging horse!"
"Coach! Let us fight for a way out together!!"
"I am a glorious Frank! I will not surrender to the dogs of the Britannia Empire!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
…
Allen's brief speech just now greatly improved the morale of the armored paladins. The armored paladins are now waving their weapons, with fighting spirit boiling!
No one chose to dismount and ask for surrender from the Britannia Empire.
Looking at the armored paladins who were boiling with fighting spirit and whose morale was soaring, Allen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile.
Then, Allen moved his eyes to Er next to him.
"Er, what about you? Are you willing to fight with me until the last moment? Are you willing to fight for that slim chance of survival with me?"
After hearing Allen's question, Er chuckled a few times.
"Are you kidding? General Allen."
As Er'er spoke, he raised the spear in his hand, his eyes full of determination.
"I will always be by your side and fight with you until the last moment."
"...Thank you, Er."
Allen turned his head back and looked directly at the Britannia Imperial Army that was approaching them from three directions.
He tightened his grip on the ax gun in his hand, and then slammed the horse's belly!
"Iron-armored Paladins! Charge!!"
Chapter completed!
