Chapter 56 The Battle of Ellen Ferry 1
Early the next morning.
Britannia Empire Rescue Army Camp.
After a night's rest, when the sky just turned white, the bells rang loudly in the camp, waking up all the 100,000 soldiers who were still sleeping.
The 100,000 troops sent out for this expedition are soldiers of the Gabriel Knights, the most elite army in the empire, so they are undoubtedly elite troops.
After hearing the "wake up bell", everyone quickly jumped out of bed and quickly started to tidy up.
Soon, tens of thousands of military tents formed by 100,000 troops shrank and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and military flags were pulled up from the ground.
The Britannia Rescue Army set foot on the straight road again when the sun cast its first rays of light!
The sun shines on the soldiers' armor and weapons, reflecting dazzling light.
An army of 100,000 marched to the Yilun Ferry in Fuhe!
At the front of the 10th Army column, Su Cheng yawned loudly while riding his horse.
The military meeting last night started very late and ended at nearly 23:00.
The result of the discussion after a night was to head for the Ilon Ferry. If Allen did not defend the Ilon Ferry, it would be easy to say. If Allen insisted on defending the Ilon Ferry, then rely on the quantity and quality advantages of the army to storm the Ylon Ferry!
"Brother, are you okay?" Alan said at the side, "You don't look too good."
"It's okay." Su Cheng rubbed his eyes, "It's just a lack of sleep. I only slept for less than 6 hours last night. I was so sleepy... Really, why does a meeting take so long? Yesterday
My legs hurt from standing up late.”
Because the military meeting last night was held very late, Su Cheng returned to the camp to sleep very late last night.
And I didn't get enough sleep the day before yesterday, because I had to get up early the day before and rush to the outskirts of Pendragon to where the army was gathering.
So he didn't get enough sleep for two consecutive days, so Su Cheng's face could be said to be very bad now.
But Alan and Deng Jiaer looked very good today, because they both went to bed very early last night, so they slept very full and were in good spirits.
"Sir, you should have a good sleep tonight." Deng Jiaer said worriedly, "You look very pale now."
"Yeah?"
Su Cheng rubbed his face, because there was no mirror here, so Su Cheng couldn't see his face.
But I feel very sleepy now and my head is dizzy, so what Deng Jiaer said must not be a lie.
"Then I will take advantage of the period when the army stops marching to rest today and take a good nap."
At this moment, Alyssa's voice suddenly came from behind Su Cheng.
"Su Cheng!"
Su Cheng followed the sound and looked back.
Wearing white and gold armor, with a golden knight's sword hanging on her waist, Alyssa rode a tall white horse and walked toward him majestically.
Alyssa's complexion is very rosy now, her eyes are bright and energetic, and she looks very energetic.
Looking at Alyssa who was very energetic, Su Cheng couldn't help but open his eyes and said:
"Miss Alyssa, you and I obviously had a meeting very late last night, but why are you so energetic?"
"I joined the army when I was 15 years old, and it is now my fourth year. I have long been accustomed to this kind of extremely short sleep time." Alyssa said calmly.
"So, Miss Alyssa," Su Cheng said, "What are you doing here all the time? Is there another meeting tonight?"
"No way. There are so many meetings to be held." Alyssa said coldly, "I just came here to warn you. You are now the deputy commander of the 10th Army, which means that you are now the deputy commander of the entire 10th Army.
As the second-in-command, please do not do anything that would disgrace the military, such as taking a nap on the horse."
"Yeah? Miss Alyssa, how do you know that I'm sleepy now?"
After saying that, Su Cheng rubbed his face vigorously so that he could feel a little more energetic.
"When I came out of the military tent this morning, I saw you looking half-dead." At this point, Alyssa's tone became gentler, "If you really want to sleep, wait until the army."
Go to sleep during your rest. In short, don’t do anything that would disgrace the military during the march. That’s all I have to say, I’m leaving.”
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, she turned her horse's head and returned to the middle of the 10th Army column.
After watching Alyssa leave, Su Cheng murmured: "Do I look so bad now..."
"Well," Alan nodded seriously, "it's very bad."
"However, what Miss Alyssa said just now makes sense," Su Cheng said with a smile, "I am now one of the senior commanders of this battle. I really shouldn't do anything that damages the military's appearance. Alan,
If I take a nap on the horse later, remember to shake me up."
"Yeah! No problem." After saying that, Alan tapped his small chest hard.
"Sir," Deng Jiaer suddenly said, "So we are going directly to Yilun Ferry now?"
"Well, yes." Su Cheng nodded, "There is a great possibility that Allen will set up defenses at Yilun Ferry. As long as we break through Yilun Ferry, we will be more than half successful."
After saying that, Su Cheng shrugged, and then said: "It's just that in this battle, we may not have anything to do. The commander intends to let the 1st Army, 3rd Army, and 6th Army be the main attack, and the 7th Army
And our 10th Army is staying in the rear as a reserve force, which means we may not have any merit in this battle."
"?" Hearing this, Deng Jiaer's face fell instantly, "Is there no military merit to be gained?"
"Well, it doesn't matter to me even if I don't have any military exploits anyway," Su Cheng said with a smile, "I didn't plan to get any great military exploits in this battle from the beginning. It would be best if I can get them. If I can't get them, it's better."
It doesn't matter, just look at it a bit, Deng Jiaer."
…
At the same time, outside Heron City, there was the main camp of the Carolingian Army.
The heavy sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the early morning camp.
The generals of all levels of the Carolingian Kingdom Army immediately followed the sound of horse hooves to greet them.
Because they understand that their current head coach "Cyborg" Aaron Jones is now back!
After Allen returned to the camp, he quickly dismounted and handed the horse's reins to a soldier next to him.
Before the generals at all levels could greet him, Allen said:
"Leave the 20,000 weakest soldiers to continue the siege of Heron City! The other 60,000 troops break camp!"
After hearing Allen's words, the generals at all levels were startled.
"Coach, what do you mean..." A general stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"Well, that's right." Allen nodded. "The 20,000 troops continue to besiege the city. Don't let the king of the Kingdom of Lunde escape! The remaining 60,000 troops follow me to the Ferry of Iron! We are at the Ferry of Iron and Britannia
