Military Genius Came To Another World with Zizhi Tongjian
Vol 2 Chapter 58: Battle of Irun Ferry (3)
The 10th Army is at the forefront of the queue.
Su Cheng already felt a cool breeze carrying water vapor on his face.
is almost here! You will reach the Irun Ferry in another 5 miles!
"Uh... it's cold." Alan shrank his shoulders while complaining about the cold breeze.
After more than ten days of trekking, the departure time was still in late October, and it is now November.
After entering November, Su Cheng felt that the temperature had begun to drop significantly, and it had begun to slowly enter the winter.
Su Cheng roughly felt that the temperature now is between 13 degrees and 18 degrees.
It’s just that for the possible drop in temperature, the Britannia Empire was prepared for this. Before the army set off, it had already mobilized enough cold clothing, stoves, and coal for the 100,000 army, so the army did not need it. Worried about the drop in temperature.
However, Alan has always been relatively afraid of the cold, so even though she has worn enough warm clothes in the armor, when the cool breeze blows, she still can't help but shrink her shoulders.
"Brother!" Alan stretched out her hands towards Su Cheng with a bitter face, "My hands are so cold!"
Su Cheng helplessly held Alan's cold hands stretched out, and gently warmed her up.
"Let’s bear it again, Alan. Wow, your hands are so cold, why are you so intolerant of freezing... When I return to Pendragon, I will buy you a pair of gloves."
"Hey, my brother's hands are so warm."
"Wow...Mom, help me, there are brothers and sisters showing intimacy here." Deng Jiaer on the side spit out while supporting his forehead.
"We are about to reach the Irun Ferry." Su Cheng said, "Just now coach Nicholas also sent the latest intelligence: Allen Bud has tens of thousands of soldiers to guard the east bank of the Irun Ferry, and we can walk for almost 5 miles. We have arrived at Irun Ferry, so the war will begin soon, and you two must be prepared."
"Brother." Alan said suddenly, "Is that Alan Jones very strong? How do you feel that everyone around you is afraid of him."
"Yes, this Alan Jones is terrible."
Su Cheng continued to rub Alan’s hands, and then said: “We have two biggest threats in this battle. The 4000 armored Paladins brought here."
"Alan Jones is a famous general in the Frank Empire. He not only has extraordinary strategy and command ability, but also has incomparable bravery. He is especially good at commanding cavalry. He is a terrifying warrior with both wisdom and courage. In combat, he is even more powerful. He likes to take the lead and personally lead the cavalry to charge. It is because of his bravery that people have been given the nickname of'steel bone'."
"In the past decade or so, in the war between our Britannia and Frankish empires, Allen's performance has also been extremely dazzling. We have suffered a lot from the Britannia empire, so we Britannia Many people in the Ya Empire are very afraid of Alan."
"As for the armored paladins, they are the trump card of the Frank Empire. Like the Holy Hiran Empire, the Frank Empire borders the prairie to the east. The prairie is rich in good horses. The Frankish Empire will regularly buy good horses from the prairie people on the prairie. Therefore, the Frank Empire used these good horses purchased from the grasslands to form a powerful cavalry force."
At this time, Alan answered, "It's the armored Paladin, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Su Cheng nodded. "The Frankish Empire formed a 20,000 heavy cavalry unit, which is the armored Paladins. The armored Paladins are heavily armored cavalry, and they all wear heavy armor and charge. The time is extremely lethal."
Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused, and then continued:
"Thinking about it this way, the Frankish Empire is quite interesting for the Carolingian Kingdom. Even if the famous general Allen was sent to help, it turned out that there were only 20,000 armored Paladins and 4,000 people came to help."
"It's just, sir." Deng Jiaer said suddenly, "Now that Allen chooses to guard the east bank of the Irun Ferry to prevent us from crossing the river successfully, then his armored Paladins will not be effective. The heavy cavalry is defending. The river battle can't exert much combat power. In this way, the only threat to us in this battle is Alan."
"I hope so." Allen smiled wryly.
……
Before the sun completely sank to the horizon, the Britannia Army finally finished the last 5 miles and came to the west bank of Irun Ferry!
After arriving on the west bank of the Yilun Ferry, I saw that the east bank of the Yilun Ferry is now lined with flags and various simple fortifications have been built.
It seems that Alan has been leading the army to wait for them at the Irun Ferry for a long time!
In this way, the 100,000 British Empire Army on the west bank of the Irun Ferry and the 60,000 Carolingian Army on the east bank of the Irun Ferry began to confront each other across the wide surface of the river!
After arriving at Irun Ferry, Nicholas ordered to camp, because it was too late now and the army also needed a rest to regain strength, so Nicholas did not reach the Irun Ferry before attacking the opposite bank.
When he ordered the camp, Nicholas did not forget to tell people to watch the enemy's movements closely, and not to let the enemy attack them when they had just arrived and had not recovered their physical strength.
……
night.
Fuhe, Irun Ferry.
The two sides of the Yilun Ferry are brightly lit, and the dazzling fire light almost illuminates half of the sky.
Because the east wind is now blowing, the cold wind blows from the east bank and blows across the wide, dark water of the river to the west bank.
Following the cool breeze, the soldiers of the Britannia Army on the West Bank could vaguely hear the voices and laughter of the Carolingian Army camp on the East Bank.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Army was camped.
The commanders, deputy commanders, and commander Nicholas of the entire army are gathering in the coach’s camp.
"According to the information sent by the king of the Lund Kingdom," Nicholas who was sitting in the main seat said, "They saw the enemy troops in the besieged city pull out their camp and leave, but still left about 20,000 people to continue besieging the city of Herron. In other words, the number of enemy troops on the other side is about 60,000."
"That's great." Enli said, "Now our army's number advantage has been strengthened, so that it will be easier to storm the Irun Ferry."
"It's just," Alisha frowned, "The east wind is now blowing! We are attacking from the West Bank to the East Bank. This wind direction is very unfavorable for us. Should we first stay on the West Bank and wait for the wind direction to change before attacking? ?"
Nicholas shook his head.
"The current wind direction is not so easy to change, and we can only bite the bullet, but fortunately, the current wind is not too strong, and we will not fall into too much disadvantage."
Nicholas stood up with a "whoo".
"Then, it is so decided! Tomorrow morning, we will storm the Irun Ferry! The 1st Army, 3rd Army, and 6th Army will take the lead! Tomorrow morning, the 1st Army will attack first!"
Nicholas just finished speaking, the commanders and deputy commanders shouted in unison:
"Yes!"
Then, the meeting ended, and the commanders and deputy commanders walked out of the coach's camp one after another.
In this military meeting, Su Cheng was the same as last time, standing behind him, not saying a word, and being a quiet little transparent.
For this battle of crossing the river, Su Cheng did not come up with any good strategies or tactics. The Fuhe River has a large amount of water and rapid currents. There is no other place to cross the river except this Yilun Ferry. There is only one ferry. In addition to relying on the quality and quantity of powerful soldiers to storm the ferry, there are no other tricks to play.
After leaving the coach's camp, Su Cheng walked straight to his military account.
When was walking towards his military account, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to himself:
"Hey! Su Cheng! Wait a minute!"
Su Cheng looked back at the sound.
is one of the "Twin Generals", Enli who served as the commander of the 7th Army this time!
Enli nudged his chin to the side, and then said: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Although Su Cheng didn't know what Enli was going to say to him, it was not easy to say "Thank you, I am not going" directly to him, so Su Cheng still chose to follow Enli obediently and listen to what Enli was going to say to him. .
In this battle, the "Twin Generals" of the Britannia Empire also participated. Enri Hunter served as the commander of the 7th Army, and Alyssa Hill served as the commander of the 10th Army.
At this time, Alisha was also about to walk into her military tent. As she walked back to her military tent, she suddenly caught two familiar figures out of her eyes.
Um? Isn't this Enli? And Su Cheng? What are the two of them going to do?
Alisha's doubts arose in her heart. She knew very well that although she didn't know the reason, Enli disliked Su Cheng even more than she did. What were they going to do for two nights?
In order to clear up the doubts in her heart, Alyssa decided to follow them secretly!
……
Enli led Su Cheng to the army camp, a remote place, so remote that there were no lights to shine here, Su Cheng could only rely on the moonlight to barely see everything around him.
After arriving in this remote place, Enli finally stopped, then turned around and looked directly at Su Cheng-but it was too dark here, and Su Cheng could not see his face clearly, but according to him The outline of the body felt that Enli was indeed looking directly at him.
However, neither Su Cheng nor Enli noticed. Behind a tree behind Su Cheng, a beautiful figure was hiding here.
Alisha hiding behind the tree quietly stretched out half of her head, secretly looking at Su Cheng and Enli.
Fortunately, it is very dark here. Neither Enli nor Su Cheng found that Alyssa was hiding here eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Su Cheng," Enli said, "Compete with me!"
"Huh?"
Su Cheng looked at Enli confusedly.
Alisa, who was hiding behind the tree, was also at a loss at this time, not knowing why Enli suddenly had to compete with Su Cheng.
"Let’s be honest with you, I don’t like you." Enli continued, "I always thought you were just someone who talked about military and warfare, but after you defeated 30,000 with 5,000, I also have to admit your talent."
"But I still feel dissatisfied!" Enli suddenly said loudly, "Although I admit your talents, I really want to know-you or me, which one is better!"
"So, with this Lund Kingdom Rescue Battle, let's have a try and see who can win greater combat achievements in this Lund Kingdom Rescue Battle!"
Su Cheng looked at Enli speechlessly.
said in his heart: There is nothing wrong with this young man, right? What's the comparison with this kind of thing, is that self-esteem is too strong, so no one of the same age is allowed to be stronger than him?
At this time, Su Cheng suddenly remembered what Jacob had said to him before: Enli was a narrow-minded man and couldn't tolerate others.
At this time, Enli continued: "If I win, you only need to lead me into the stirrups and lead me into Pendragon. If you win, just do whatever you want, as long as you don’t violate morals. , The law, whatever you ask me to do."
"Oh? Really?"
Su Cheng was originally lacking in interest in Enli's match, so he just wanted to refuse to take it, but now he is interested!
Su Cheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, then I will participate in your game. Anyway, for me, it doesn’t matter if you hold the horse and hold the stirrup and lead you into Pendragon, so this For me, it doesn’t matter whether the game is won or won, so I don’t care about winning or losing in this game."
"I have already thought about it now. After you lose, I want you to do something for me."
"What's the matter?" Enli said lightly.
"I want you not to meet or talk to Eliza for 2 months."
"what?!"
Enli's tone suddenly became calm.
At this time, behind the trees.
Alyssa pressed her lips tightly, she almost exclaimed just now, but in a hurry, she bit her tongue and suffocated the exclamation that had flowed to her mouth.
Alisha shouted in her heart:
You just compete in the game, what do you do with me!
"Why do you want me not to meet and talk to Alisha for 2 months?" Enli asked anxiously.
After hearing Enli's question, Alyssa also hurriedly raised her ears. She was also curious why Su Cheng wanted to say such things.
"Um...this one."
Su Cheng pondered.
The reason why he said this is because he has vaguely felt it-Enli likes Eliza!
In the past ten days of marching, when it was time to rest, Enli would always come from the 7th Army to their 10th Army to chat and talk to Alyssa.
Therefore, Su Cheng feels that Enli must like Alisha.
Therefore, in order to satisfy his own evil taste, Su Cheng asked Enli to stop meeting or talking with Alyssa for 2 months.
However, Su Cheng did not want to tell Enli straightforwardly that he was to satisfy his evil taste—he decided to say to him tactfully ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because," Su Cheng said, "I I don't want to see you meet and talk with Alisha. "
As soon as 's words fell, Su Cheng was complacent in his heart: I said this really well! Tactful and not lying!
After hearing Su Cheng's words, Enli showed an unbelievable expression, but it was too dark, Su Cheng could not see his expression clearly.
while hiding behind the tree, Alisha's expression at this time was exactly the same as Enli's-a look of surprise and disbelief.
Alisha secretly said in her heart: I don’t want to see Enli and I meet and talk...what do you mean? I seem to have heard some of my female friends say before that when a boy does not want another boy to have too much contact with a certain girl, it means--
Realizing something, Alyssa suddenly felt her cheeks feel a little hot.
If Alyssa had a mirror in her hand now, she would see that her cheeks had started to flush.
At this time, the dialogue between Enli and Su Cheng restarted.
"Su Cheng..." Enli said solemnly, "Could it be that you treat Alisha..."
Before Enli could finish speaking, Su Cheng hurriedly interrupted him.
"Well, just think about it." Su Cheng shrugged with a smirk, "Anyway, don't forget what I asked you to do after losing the game."
After that, Su Cheng turned around and left.
After feeling that Su Cheng was about to leave, Alyssa, whose cheeks were still red, hurriedly buried her body in the shadow of the trees.
With the shadow of the trees and the dark surroundings, Alyssa successfully concealed her presence. Su Cheng, who was leaving, did not notice that she was hiding behind a tree not far away. Girl in redness and fever.
