A very important criterion for measuring a commander's command level is whether he can command a unit to march quickly.

If someone can command a large-scale army to march quickly, and can guarantee that the army will not suffer large-scale wartime attrition during the march, and that the army will not show any signs of collapse, then there is no doubt that this person is not allowed to A famous general.

——El Bernard in a chat with Gabriel

The more inconspicuous something is, the more it tests the commander's ability.

For example: marching ability.

Marching - it sounds easy, you just need to keep directing the generals to move forward, and then let the troops stop and rest from time to time.

But only when you have actually commanded an army to march will you know how difficult it is.

The difficulty of command will increase exponentially as the size of the troops under your command increases.

Commanding 10 people and letting them follow you peacefully - this is something that many people can do easily.

What about commanding 100 people?

To get these 100 people to follow you safely will immediately double the difficulty.

What about commanding 1,000 people?

If you want to command 1,000 people, the difficulty will be several times that of commanding 100 people.

Let a person of average ability command 1,000 people to march from Pendragon to the Rhine Front. Not to mention whether they can reach their destination on time, but whether they can prevent these 1,000 people from collapsing in order and appearing during the march. Casualties are a big problem.

And El can command the 80,000 Xilan army under his command to advance in an orderly manner.

Not only is it orderly, but the speed is not slow at all.

As for Su Cheng, it was even more terrifying.

There are only 80,000 generals under Er's command, while Su Cheng has 300,000 generals.

Moreover, El and Su Cheng's march was no ordinary march.

While commanding the troops to march, they also commanded the troops to capture the cities along the way.

Manpower must also be allocated to appease the civilians in the newly occupied areas.

This makes it even more difficult for the two to command.

However, the two men handled this extremely difficult march arrangement in an orderly manner.

Ever since the Britannian Army and the Hiran Army crossed the border and launched an attack on their Farak Empire, the senior generals of the Frankish Army have been looking forward to it.

It was expected that the generals of both armies would suddenly collapse due to chaotic management during the march.

The Frankish army did not expect a large-scale collapse of the generals of the two armies.

As long as even a few small troops collapse, it will be a great comfort to the Frank army generals.

However, the senior generals of the Frankish army waited until both armies were about to attack Bellu City. They did not receive any news about the breakdown of order in the troops of the two armies.

The order of all the troops in both armies was perfect from beginning to end.

The military talents and talents displayed by Su Cheng and El made the senior generals of the Frank Army feel even more desperate.

Commanding an army of 300,000 to attack an enemy country and maintaining the order of the troops without any breakdown - Allen, Rudolf, and Erich asked themselves: It would be difficult for them to achieve such a state.

"...General Jones." Rudolph said solemnly, "Now is not the time to praise the enemy commander's talents. Let's make final defensive preparations quickly."

"...That's right." Allen sighed, "Probably the day after tomorrow, the Britannia army will arrive at our city of Bailu."

"The day after tomorrow, Hiran's army will be able to join forces with Britannia's army at the gate of Bailu City."

"In my opinion - Su Cheng will never launch an attack on our city of Belu before the Xilan army arrives."

"So even if the Britannian army comes to Bailu the day after tomorrow,

The battle doesn't start right away either. "

"Probably a few days after joining forces with the Hiran Army, the coalition of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army will begin to attack Belu."

"We have a few days left."

"Seize the last few days and let as many citizens as possible evacuate Bailu as soon as possible!"

In order to better meet the coalition forces of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army, the Frankish Empire Central Committee began to evacuate the citizens of Belu City in an orderly manner long before the two armies launched an attack on their Frankish Empire.

There are many benefits to allowing the residents of Beilu City to evacuate Beilu.

One, avoid getting the civilians in the city involved in the war.

Once the Battle of Belu begins, the brutality of the battle is absolutely unthinkable.

By then, there will definitely be huge rocks and arrows moved by locusts towards Belu City.

If there are still many citizens gathered in Bailu City, these huge rocks and arrows will most likely accidentally injure them.

If too many citizens are accidentally injured by the war, civil strife will most likely break out in the city out of dissatisfaction.

A strong fortress is most afraid of attacks from within.

In order to reduce the casualties of the residents in the city, or to avoid civil strife in the city, the Frankish Empire Central Committee would not let Bailu leave too many citizens.

Second, allowing these citizens to evacuate Bailu will save a lot of food consumption.

This battle to defend Bailu will most likely turn into a long-lasting siege.

Fighting for several months or even several years is not something that is impossible.

This kind of city attack and defense battle that lasted for several months or several years has been staged countless times in history.

Once the coalition forces of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army are at the gates of the city, they will definitely surround the city of Bolu.

By then, the daily food consumption of the soldiers and residents in the city will be provided by the inventory in the city.

Although because the central government of the Frankish Empire has concentrated a large amount of supplies in the city of Bolu, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient supplies.

But for the sake of insurance, it is still a sure win to let Bolu have fewer residents and reduce some food consumption.

Bolu has now almost completed all the pre-war preparations that can be made.

The rest is to slowly wait for the coalition forces of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army to arrive at the city of Bolu.

2 days later——

"Brother!" Alan, who rode closely beside Su Cheng, shouted excitedly to Su Cheng, "Look! We can already see the city of Bolu!"

"Yeah." Su Cheng nodded on his horse, "I see it. It is indeed the capital of the Frankish Empire... It is as magnificent as our Pendragon."

A huge and magnificent city has appeared on the skyline in front of Su Cheng.

Looking at this huge and magnificent city in front of him, Su Cheng seemed to be relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said in a voice that only he could hear:

"Next... just wait for Elta to come over slowly..."
