"Eugène." Luo Xie said to a young man behind him in a cold tone, "You can go and take your place. I will leave the defense of the west wall to you. I will personally be responsible for the defense of the north wall."
"yes."
The young man standing behind Luo Xie is none other than Eugene, who is responsible for commanding 5,000 people to guard Leer City!
Six days ago, that is, on the night of July 24, after Deng Jiaer captured Laer City, Ou Ren took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Laer City.
A very important reason why Ou Ren was able to successfully take out Laer City was that at that time, Deng Jiaer and Alan were only thinking about returning to rescue Su Cheng as soon as possible, so they had no time to search and pursue the remaining enemies, so Ou Ren was very good.
Lucky enough to save a life.
After Eugène took out Lyle City, he fled south to Mayin City, which was guarded by Luo Xie.
After entering the city of Leyre, Eugene reported the news of the fall of Leyre city to Luo Xie, apologized to Luo Xie, and requested to use military law to deal with him.
According to the military laws of the Luolin Empire, if a general's combat is unfavorable, the punishment he receives will not be light, and the most severe one will be directly sentenced to death.
However, Luo Xie did not blame Ou Ren. He just patted Ou Ren on the shoulder and said that the current situation on the Eastern Front was so corrupted that it was all the responsibility of him, the highest person in charge. He would take all the responsibilities and let Ou Ren go.
Jin cheered up and prepared to resist the Britannian army that was about to attack.
When Eugene fled to Mayin City, it was already July 28th.
At that time, Luo Xie already knew that Ode and Gill had encountered something unexpected with their troops.
In the early morning of July 18, after Ode discovered that Simeon's position had been attacked, he immediately sent three groups of messengers to report the news to Gilles, Eugène, and Roger.
Roger learned from the messenger sent from Erd that Simeon's army was completely destroyed. After a brief shock, Roger immediately formulated a new countermeasure.
Now that Simeon's army has been completely wiped out, there will be a big hole in the defense line on the north bank of the Shunau River. Therefore, there is no need to hold on to the defense line on the north bank of the Shunau River.
Therefore, Roger planned to let Erd and Gill lead their troops, retreat to the south bank of the Shunau River, and shrink the defense line.
Two groups of messengers were sent to the positions of Erd and Gill respectively.
The two groups of messengers had the same journey before reaching the Shunau River, so the two groups of messengers walked together to the Shunau River to prepare to cross the river.
However, when these two groups of messengers passed by Lyle City, they suddenly discovered that Lyle City had been attacked!
After the two groups of messengers discussed it, they unanimously decided that this matter was too important and must be reported to General Luo Xie immediately.
Therefore, these two groups of messengers returned to Mayin City along the same route and reported to Luo Xie the extremely important information that Lier City was being attacked by the Britannian army.
When Luo Xie heard the news, before he could be shocked, Gill immediately sent him a message.
Gill sent a messenger to help him convey to Luo Xie: Together with Ode, he will take advantage of the fact that Su Cheng's troops are weak and attack Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army camp!
After hearing what Gill's messenger told him, Luo Xie was shocked and too angry to say anything.
Luo Xie naturally knew about Gil's "dark history" and knew that Gil always acted without permission, ignored orders from his superiors, and fought alone.
However, every time Gil took unauthorized actions, he achieved great success, so his superiors never punished him painfully.
Luo Xie never expected that Gil would do this again this time! Completely ignoring him as the top person in charge of the Eastern Front, he began to take unauthorized actions again, and this time his unauthorized actions even involved Oede!
However, things have already happened. Even if Luo Xie sends people to recover Gil and Erde, it will be too late, so Luo Xie can only wait, pray, and pray.
Gil and Erd were able to succeed in this operation, and then quickly returned to rescue the city of Leer that was being attacked.
Luo Xie only had 5,000 troops under his command. Luo Xie was not sure that he could rescue Lyle City with just such a small number of troops. In addition, Luo Xie trusted Eugène very much. He believed that with Eugène's ability, he should be able to rescue the city.
It can withstand the attack of thousands of enemy troops.
Therefore, Luo Xie determined that Lyle City would not be breached in a short period of time.
Therefore, Luo Xie decided to wait silently for Gil and Erd to finish their unauthorized actions and come back to rescue Lyle City.
At that time, Luo Xie naively thought that even if Gil and Erd's plan to attack Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army camp failed, they would still be able to come back with a large force.
However... Luo Xie waited and waited, but there was no news from Jill and Ode.
In the end, Luo Xie only waited for the news that Su Cheng's East Route Army had broken camp and headed south.
After learning the news that Su Cheng's East Route Army had broken camp and headed south, Luo Xie immediately understood everything.
There was no news about Gill and Erd who went to attack Su Cheng. Su Cheng leisurely broke camp and headed south, which illustrates a reality.
A fact that makes Luo Xie painfully unwilling to face it: Gil and Erd's 40,000-strong army were completely wiped out! The whereabouts of Gil and Erd are also unknown!
No one managed to escape!
After Luo Xie had just waited for this bad news, it wasn't long before he waited for Ou Ren who had broken through the city of Leer and escaped alone in embarrassment.
After experiencing this series of bad news, someone with a weak mind would probably have collapsed.
However, after experiencing this series of bad news, Roger, who was entrusted with the important task by Barr and took full charge of the eastern front, still survived and calmed down.
What he told Eugène to "take all the responsibilities" was not a polite word to Eugène, that was what Luo Xie really meant.
Luo Xie believes that the Eastern Front is currently losing troops and is in a state of decay. The biggest responsibility lies with him. It is because of his lack of ability that the situation has become like this.
So whether it was to atone for his sins or to alleviate the guilt in his heart, Luo Xie had already made up his mind to defend Mayin City even if he died! He blocked Su Cheng in Mayin.
Outside the city!
Just when Ou Ren turned around and was about to go to the west city wall to supervise the battle, Luo Xie suddenly said to Ou Ren in a deep voice without looking back:
"Eugen, you should also know. The Battle of Feihai should have started now..."
"……Ok, I know."
When Baal returned to the Feihai Plain to prepare for the battle, he sent an urgent report to Luo Xie, ordering Luo Xie to defend Mayin City no matter what, and not allow Su Cheng to pass through Mayin City and rush to the Feihai Plain.
!
"Now, the only thing we can do for Coach Barr and the Rollin Empire is to defend the city of Mayin." Luo Xie continued, his tone slowly becoming firmer, "
Therefore, even if we die, we must defend this city of Mayin! We must not let Su Cheng go to Feihai Plain!"
After hearing Luo Xie's words full of determination, a look of determination slowly appeared on Ou Ren's originally gloomy face.
"clear."
Although the pitch was not high and the voice was not very loud, Ou Ren's words were so sonorous and powerful, as if deducting the words could create a big hole in the city wall made of bricks.
General.
…
After the charge horn sounded, the Britannian army surrounding the three city walls in the north, east, and west of Mayne City immediately carried ladders and launched a charge against Mayne City.
Roger, who was standing on the north city wall, watched with cold eyes the groups of Britannia troops approaching outside the city.
After Su Cheng's troops entered the range of the crossbows, Luo Xie ordered the arrows to be released without hesitation.
Arrows like a heavy rain were directed towards the Britannian army that was approaching here.
All of a sudden, blood splattered and screams were heard everywhere.
Su Cheng's troops hadn't even gotten close to the city wall of Mayin City, but the number of casualties had already begun to rise...
July 30, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire, afternoon.
