"Xia Feng" offensive, East Route Army reinforcements marching position.
A few days ago, Su Cheng separated from Alyssa and Allen.
The three of them belonged to different armies in this "Xia Feng" offensive. Therefore, when they reached the fork a few days ago, the three of them separated, and each took a part of the recruits to their respective armies.
.
Alyssa, who was in charge of being the deputy commander of the Central Army, naturally went to the Central Army's position.
Allen, who was the coach of the West Route Army, went to the positions of the West Route Army, and Su Cheng, who was the coach of the East Route Army, went to the positions of the East Route Army.
When Su Cheng and others led the new soldiers south to the frontline positions, the 150,000 troops on the frontline began to deploy and mobilize.
Now, the 150,000-strong army has been divided into three armies, and Iser has also been transferred to the eastern part of the empire, sitting on the eastern front line of the empire.
And Albert was already ready at the center position.
Now, we are waiting for Su Cheng, Allen, the commander-in-chief of the east and west route armies, and Alyssa, the deputy commander-in-chief of the middle route army, to lead the recruits to replace the casualties and take their positions at the front line, "Xia
"Wind" offensive can be officially launched.
Su Cheng didn't know whether Allen and Alyssa had reached each other's positions.
Anyway, Su Cheng knew that he still had about two days to reach the Eastern Route Army's position and take over the 40,000-strong Eastern Route Army.
The Eastern Route Army needs to supplement its troops with a total of 1,167 troops, which means that the 40,000 Eastern Route Army has a total of 1,167 casualties.
Therefore, when they separated from Allen, Alyssa and the others a few days ago, the three of them divided up the thousands of recruits, and Su Cheng only took away 1,167 recruits to fill the gap in the strength of the Eastern Route Army.
By the way, Allen took away the most recruits, because in addition to taking away the recruits to replace the casualties of the Western Route Army, he also took away his 3,000 armored warriors.
Therefore, in fact, the total strength of the Britannian Empire in this "Summer Wind" offensive was not just 150,000, but 153,000.
Now, Su Cheng and the 1,167 recruits were camping on a flat ground and resting.
The scorching rays of sunlight shining down from the sun struck the ground like a whip, and also struck the bodies of these thousands of recruits.
The recruit was slumped on the ground, apparently not moving much, but big beads of sweat were pouring out from all over his body.
The place where every recruit sat was wet with sweat from his body.
Fortunately, the supply and reserves of drinking water and other supplies are quite sufficient, so there is no need to worry about running out of drinking water.
Therefore, Su Cheng specially ordered that every recruit must drink more water to ensure sufficient water in the body. Anyway, there is plenty of water, so he is not afraid of drinking it all.
At the same time, considering the hot weather, Su Cheng specifically ordered that each soldier be allowed to take off his helmet.
Of course, only helmets are allowed to be removed.
Su Cheng also emphasized: If he finds any soldier taking off his armor except for his helmet, don't blame him for enforcing military law.
According to the military regulations of the Britannia Empire, it is a serious matter if a soldier takes off his armor without the permission of his commander.
Although the crime may not lead to death, a severe punishment is definitely indispensable.
If these thousand or so soldiers were all veterans who had been in the army for several years, they might have the courage to take off their hand armor or toenails secretly while Su Cheng was in the carriage and didn't notice anyone outside.
Some smaller armors.
But it's a pity that these thousand soldiers are all new recruits.
Except for a few weird ones, most of the new recruits are very well-behaved.
Therefore, after hearing Su Cheng's order, the thousand or so soldiers just took off their helmets obediently. No one dared to take off their armor except for their helmets.
But in such a hot weather, even if you take off all your clothes, you may not be able to cool down, let alone just taking off a helmet.
Each soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and poured water into his mouth.
Drinking water is the only way these recruits can fight against the scorching heat in such an environment.
…
At this time, a thousand people were in a carriage in the center.
"Brother! It's so hot!!"
Alan fanned himself with a piece of paper and complained to Su Cheng with a sad face.
"Alan, you are really difficult to take care of..." Su Cheng said with a bitter smile without looking up while looking at a pile of paper in his hand, "During the rescue battle of the Lunde Kingdom at the end of last year,
You cried and shouted that it was so cold, and now during this 'summer wind' offensive, you cried and shouted that it was so hot."
"I'm just not very tolerant of cold or heat!" Alan shouted dissatisfied.
After saying that, Alan took the portrait next to him, raised it high, and then said in a malicious tone:
"Hurry up and apologize to me! Don't say I'm high maintenance! Otherwise I'll ruin the gift that little girl gave you!"
"Okay, okay, I apologize, I apologize." Su Cheng said in a helpless tone, "I shouldn't have said you were difficult to maintain, so please return my portrait to me quickly."
"snort!"
Alan snorted proudly with his nose and returned the portrait in his hand to Su Cheng.
The portrait in Alan's hand was the gift that the little girl gave to Su Cheng before. It was a portrait of Su Cheng.
To be precise, it is a portrait of Su Cheng's back.
The portrait was also framed and wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper.
And wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper with this portrait, there is also a letter from the little girl.
In this letter, the little girl mentioned that the portrait of Su Cheng's back was drawn by her own hands.
She originally wanted to draw Su Cheng's front face, but unfortunately she didn't know what Su Cheng looked like when she was drawing this painting, so she could only draw Su Cheng's back.
The back view of Su Cheng was also imagined by the little girl, because according to rumors, Su Cheng had short black hair and a tall but not very strong figure. Based on this, the little girl
Based on a rumor and my own imagination, I drew this picture of Su Cheng's back.
It has to be said that this little girl's painting skills are quite good, and her imagination is quite accurate. Both Alan and Deng Jiaer said that although the back figure drawn by the little girl was imaginary,
It's really very similar to Su Cheng's back.
Su Cheng himself was also very satisfied with the portrait given by the little girl and decided to treasure it well. When he returned to Pendragon, he would put the portrait on the table in his room.
At this time, in this rather large carriage, in addition to the two brothers Su Cheng and Alan who were having fun as usual, there were two other people.
The four people sitting on the carriage were Su Cheng, Alan, Deng Jiaer, and Willy, the deputy commander of the East Route Army and Su Cheng's adjutant.
Su Cheng is the coach of the Eastern Route Army this time, so it is normal for him to enjoy some privileges.
For example: all recruits have to travel on foot, but Su Cheng can sit in a carriage.
As the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army this time, Willy was naturally qualified to sit in the carriage with Su Cheng.
Alan and Deng Jiaer, who are Su Cheng's knight retainers, are also qualified to ride in the carriage with Su Cheng.
Who said they were Su Cheng's knight retinues?
This is also the reason why so many people want to become knights of knights, so they can enjoy some privileges.
However, although sitting inside the carriage, it would not be too hard when marching, and at the same time, you would not be exposed to the sun, but it was still as hot as outside the carriage.
The inside of the carriage is at most a little cooler than the outside.
The four people inside the carriage, like the recruits outside, did not take off any of their armor except for their helmets.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Su Cheng naturally did not know how to follow general orders and regarded military regulations as child's play.
Therefore, even if they are his sister and friends, he strictly requires Alan and Deng Jiaer to be like the recruits outside. They are only allowed to take off their helmets, and not a single piece of other armor.
Of course, Su Cheng himself strictly abides by this military order.
Willy, who respected Su Cheng very much, naturally obeyed Su Cheng's words, and his whole body was still tightly wrapped in armor.
Not to mention Deng Jiaer, who always listened to Su Cheng's words.
Even Alan, who was usually very playful, now obeyed Su Cheng's words and did not make any unreasonable noises. He obediently put on all the armor parts on his body.
Although Alan had said countless times that she was so hot, she never said a word asking Su Cheng to allow her to take off her armor.
Looking at Alan whose face was covered with sweat, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel heartache in his heart.
"Actually, you don't have to go to the battlefield with me at all." Su Cheng said in a helpless tone, "Since you are so afraid of heat and cold, don't follow me. It's still too late for you to go back now, although I know
You definitely don’t know the way, and you can’t find the way back now if you go back.”
"How could I abandon my brother and leave you alone!" Alan said angrily, "If I didn't protect your brother, you would be in more danger! Have you forgotten the last battle of annihilation in Weihe? You rushed to the front line in person
Command the 3rd Army to conduct a feint attack. If I hadn't been by your side to protect you, you would have probably been shot to death by a stray arrow flying from nowhere!"
After listening to Alan's words, Su Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then stopped talking and continued to look at the pile of paper in his hand.
This stack of paper is the battle report of the previous "Spring Awakening" offensive, as well as the information about the Luo Lin Army and the Luo Lin Empire collected by Iser and others, as well as the new information returned from the front line since Su Cheng and the others went on the expedition.
.
While leading the recruits south to the front line, Su Cheng would carefully read the stack of battle reports of the "Spring Awakening" offensive, as well as various information about the "Summer Wind" offensive whenever he had time every day.
Any general with a little bit of ability will know the importance of intelligence and analyzing intelligence.
Su Cheng regarded intelligence as particularly important.
In Su Cheng's eyes, whether enough intelligence can be collected and analyzed correctly will greatly affect the direction of the war.
Therefore, Su Cheng is never sloppy in intelligence-related aspects such as collecting and analyzing intelligence.
Since leaving Pendragon until now, Su Cheng has read and analyzed nearly 10 hours of intelligence almost every day.
Su Cheng, who continued to look at the pile of information in his hand carefully, suddenly chuckled a few times, and then murmured:
Chapter completed!
