"General Allen! The Britannias have retreated!" Er shouted.
"I saw it, you don't need to repeat it to me again."
Allen, who was riding a horse, looked expressionlessly at the Britannia Imperial Army that was halfway across the river and then retreated.
"It seems that the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Army has discovered that the casualties are too high," Er continued, "and plans to withdraw to the west bank first, regroup and then attack again."
"Yeah. It does seem like that." Allen continued to respond expressionlessly.
"General Allen!"
After Er shouted Allen's name, he drove the horse and walked in front of Allen.
After walking in front of Allen, Er turned his head, looked directly into Allen's eyes and said seriously: "I suggest sending out the armored holy cavalry now! The Britannia are retreating now, it is a good time to attack! What if?
If we dispatch the armored holy cavalry now, we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Britannians who are currently retreating! Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to land on the east bank of the Wei River!"
"After we use the armored holy cavalry to deal a heavy blow to the retreating Britannias, we can use the armored holy cavalry to land on the west bank of the Wei River and lay down a landing point for the subsequent 80,000-strong army to land!
"
"And! The current commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army is in this army that is crossing the river. If we can kill or capture him alive, we will definitely be able to deal a huge blow to the Britannia people!"
After Er stated his suggestions impassionedly, he looked at Allen expectantly.
After hearing Er's suggestion, Allen fell into deep thought:
…
Er's suggestion... is quite good!
Although I told Er last night that as long as I have these more than 3,000 armored holy cavalry, I will not be afraid even if there are tens of thousands more Britannian Imperial troops on the other side.
But actually, this is just me bragging on a whim.
No matter how powerful the armored holy cavalry were, there was no way they could defeat the nearly 90,000 knights of the Britannia Empire with just over 3,000 men.
With only more than 3,000 armored paladins and 80,000 Carolingian troops left, there are only two ways to defeat the nearly 90,000 knights on the other side:
One is to use a clever strategy like the last battle at Iron's Ferry.
The other is to weaken the Britannian Imperial Army little by little, and then launch a decisive fierce attack after weakening the Britannian Imperial Army to a certain extent.
The terrain here in Weihe is flat now, and I can't think of any clever ideas.
It will definitely not work to use cavalry to carry out a roundabout surprise attack like last time. You can never use the same tactics against the same army. This time the Britannians must have learned their lesson and be careful to see if there are cavalry around to attack them.
Already.
Then, now we can only use the second method, which is to continuously weaken the Britannia Imperial Army. After weakening to a certain level, we can then launch a decisive fierce attack to defeat the Britannia Imperial Army.
Now is indeed the perfect opportunity to weaken the Britannia Imperial Army.
Now the commander-in-chief of the Britannian Imperial Army seems to have discovered that the casualties have completely exceeded his expectations, so he plans to send the soldiers back to the west bank of the Wei River first.
The army is very vulnerable at this time of retreat.
Now, if the armored holy cavalry is dispatched to launch a fierce attack on the retreating Britannians, they will definitely be able to inflict great damage on them. If they are lucky, they can even collapse the army crossing the river.
As long as the Britannian Imperial Army can be severely damaged as it crosses the river, the Britannian Imperial Army can be greatly weakened and the morale of their entire army can be successfully reduced.
It's an excellent opportunity to weaken the enemy...
Moreover, they could also take the opportunity to land on the west bank of the Wei River and establish a landing stronghold, so that the 80,000 Carolingian troops behind could land on the west bank of the Wei River.
In this way, we can prevent the Britannia Imperial Army from attacking us while we are crossing the river.
...However, will the Britannians set up any ambush on the other bank... An ambush or something was arranged on the other bank, and then after I led the army to land on the west bank of the Wei River, I sent out the ambush that had been arranged early.
To encircle and suppress us...
...No, it shouldn't be. The terrain here is extremely flat, and there is no way to lay out an ambush. Under this extremely flat terrain, if an ambush is really laid out, I can immediately discover it.
However, even if there is an ambush, I am not afraid. The water level of this Wei River is so shallow, even if I encounter an ambush, I can calmly retreat to the east bank.
And... Er is right, the commander of the Britannian Imperial Army is now in this retreating army. If I launch an attack now, there is a good chance that I can kill the Britannian Imperial Army.
coach or capture him alive.
...No matter how you think about it, this is also an excellent opportunity to weaken the Britannia army. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have such a good opportunity next time. Britannia has learned the lessons of this attack.
Coach Niya Army, the next attack may be much more conservative, so it may be difficult to encounter such a good offensive opportunity again in the future.
Moreover, the water level of the Wei River is so low, even if something goes wrong after landing on the west bank of the Wei River, I can retreat immediately.
…
After thinking about it for a while, Allen made up his mind.
"Er!" Allen turned his head and shouted towards Er.
"exist!"
"Let the Iron Armored Paladins prepare! I will lead them to attack personally!"
After hearing Allen's words, Er showed a happy expression, and then said loudly: "Yes!"
"Also, prepare the 80,000 Carolingian Army to advance! You personally command the 80,000 Carolingian Army! Once I lead the armored holy cavalry and make contact with the enemy, you will immediately lead the 80,000 Carolingian Army.
Follow us! I will land the entire army on the west bank of the Shangwei River in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
…
"Coach! There is movement on the east bank of the Wei River!"
The commander of the 3rd Army shouted loudly to Su Cheng, who was commanding the soldiers of the 3rd Army to retreat.
After hearing the words of the commander of the 3rd Army, Su Cheng turned his head and looked towards the east bank of the Wei River.
They saw a cavalry troop, all wearing heavy armor, rushing towards them in a mighty and menacing manner.
The number of people is roughly in the thousands.
"Both men and horses are wearing heavy armor... It seems that the armored holy cavalry has arrived." Su Cheng said in a casual tone with a faint smile on his face.
The commander of the 3rd Army, who had good eyesight, squinted his eyes and looked intently at the armored paladin that was charging towards them.
Later, the commander of the 3rd Army showed a look of horror.
"Coach! I saw Alan Jones! He is at the front of the armored paladin, and he seems to be commanding the cavalry!"
"Are you sure?" Su Cheng said calmly.
"One hundred percent sure! I have fought against Allen many times with the army before! I have seen Allen's face several times by chance! So I am sure that the leader of this armored paladin is Allen Jones.
!”
After saying that, the commander of the 3rd Army looked in disbelief and cast his dull eyes on Su Cheng.
"Coach...it's true as you said, Alan Jones personally brought the armored paladin to chase us..."
As soon as the commander of the 3rd Army finished speaking, the corners of Su Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and murmured:
Chapter completed!
