Chapter 261: Ma Tama Company Camp (6)
Woo... so noisy...
Can't you be quieter...
Why is there such a loud noise...
I finally finished handling all the military affairs today and can sleep well...
Don't bother me...
Why is it so noisy...
…
Why...is it so noisy...
…
Simeon, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, then turned over and jumped out of the bed.
Without even having time to put on his shoes, Simeon quickly rushed out of his tent in three steps and two steps at a time.
After lifting the curtain of the tent, astonishing heat rushed towards his face.
Looking up, I saw a fiery red color.
——That is the color of the flames raging on the military camps and wooden fences.
Sparks were flying in front of my eyes.
The crackle of sparks echoed in my ears.
Simeon stared at everything in front of him, dumbfounded.
At this time, he discovered that far away from him, something was destroying and ravaging wantonly.
——That is a cavalry force of astonishing size.
Except for a few people who seemed to be senior commanders, all members of this staggeringly large cavalry team were wearing black armor.
Black armor—that is the standard equipment of the Britannia army.
With broken tents, chopped-off soldiers, and blood and internal organs scattered everywhere, the cavalry team of the Britannia army was destroying everything on the road wantonly while heading towards Simeon. The location is approaching.
Simeon was the supreme commander of this army of ten thousand, so no matter whether it was day or night, a handsome flag was erected high in the camp where he was.
——This handsome flag is undoubtedly the best target for the Britannia Army.
Simeon looked at everything in front of him with a look of horror.
The Britannia Army fought and charged like ferocious carnivorous beasts. Many of the Luolin Army soldiers who were encountered by the Britannia Army were ruthlessly torn into pieces before they even had time to scream.
The Britannian army galloped, attacked, and destroyed.
The soldiers of Luo Lin's army were wailing, defeated, and dying.
Simeon looked at everything in front of him with a look of fear.
"what happened……"
Simeon's expression was dull.
This sudden disaster caught him off guard.
His brain, which was originally very bright, went blank at this time.
Just as Simeon stared blankly at the Britannia army that was approaching this direction, a loud shout suddenly came from his ears:
"General Simeon!"
This loud shout made Simeon's dull and dull eyes regain some vitality.
Simeon followed the sound and cast his gaze over.
——It was the general who just handed him the counted baggage list!
The general was riding on a war horse, galloping towards his direction.
The armor on his body was worn crookedly, and the sword hanging on his left waist was not hung properly.
From the look on his face, you could tell that he must have been very anxious when putting the armor on himself.
They must have just discovered that an enemy army was launching a night attack on them, so they jumped out of bed in a hurry, put on their armor in a panic, and then rode towards the military camp where Simeon was.
After riding his horse to Simeon's side, the general jumped off the horse and said to Simeon in an anxious tone:
"General Simeon! It's the cavalry brigade of the Britannia Army! It's the cavalry brigade of the Britannia Army that launched a night raid on us! The total strength of this force that launched a surprise attack on us is roughly 4,000 to 6,000 about!"
"4. 4,000 to 6,000?"
Simeon said in horror.
He only has 10,000 troops here, and a cavalry brigade of 4,000 to 6,000 people is enough to defeat him completely.
Drops of cold sweat had begun to break out from Simeon's face, which was full of horror.
"General Simeon!" the general shouted again, "What should we do now?!"
"What, what should I do..."
The cold sweat broke out on Simeon's face even more.
Simeon tried his best to think of something.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, his originally bright mind was still blank.
Simeon, who was too young, had not been on the battlefield a few times in his short military career, and he had not had the opportunity to command tens of thousands of troops by himself as he did now.
Not only that, the battles Simeon participated in were all battles with favorable winds.
He has only experienced battles where the situation was favorable to his side.
He had never fought a battle where the situation was unfavorable, let alone encountered such an urgent and fatal sudden crisis like tonight.
Simeon, who lacks experience in facing such a sudden crisis, is now completely blank.
I tried to think of something, but I couldn't.
He could only watch helplessly as the Britannia army kept approaching, and he could only watch helplessly as they came over.
Looking at Simeon, whose face was pale with fright and unable to speak a word, the general couldn't help but feel more impatient, so he reminded General Simeon loudly:
"General Simeon! The top priority now is to go to General Erd's troops for help first!"
The general's words were like a heavy hammer, waking up Simeon hard.
The fog that was tightly wrapped in Simeon's mind immediately dissipated a lot.
"Yes! You are right!"
Simeon suddenly flashed several rays of light.
"Quick! Send someone to ask for help from Erdah!"
Together with him, there were two other people - Oede and Gill - who set up defenses on the north bank of the Shunau River.
Oed commanded 20,000 troops and was stationed in the middle of the Shunau River.
Gill commanded an army of 20,000 men and was stationed east of the Shunau River.
Gil's location was too far away, so calling for help was impractical.
The most realistic thing, and the most appropriate thing to do now, is to ask for help from the Erde Army stationed in the middle of the north bank of the Shunau River!
Originally, the positions of Simeon Army, Oed Army, and Gil Army were specially designed to enable them to better care for and assist each other.
If Erd sends an army here, it will probably take less than half an hour to reach the Simeon army's position!
As long as we get Oed's assistance, it's no longer a problem to block the Britannia army or even kill it!
Thanks to the general's wake-up call, Simeon now felt that his head had become much clearer, not as blank as before.
In just a few seconds, he had already thought of a strategy to defend himself against the enemy.
While instructing the general to send someone to ask for help from Erd, Simeon continued:
"Also, go and order Team 8, Team 9, and Team 10 to quickly put on their armor, grab their weapons, and assemble at my place!"
Looking at Simeon who had calmed down, the general couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.
"yes!"
The reason why Simeon let these three teams come to his side is because Simeon judged from the current march route of the Britannia Army that the camps of these three teams had not been wantonly destroyed. The Britannia Army was affected, so they could be mobilized as quickly as possible.
After watching the general riding his horse to convey his military orders, Simeon turned his attention to his front again.
——Throwing towards the front of the British cavalry, which was rushing towards him at extremely fast speed, but still some distance away from him.
Simeon felt that he had calmed down a lot now, and his head gradually became more active.
One after another, strategies to defend against enemies popped out of his mind.
Simeon is very confident - as long as the 8th, 9th, and 10th squads can arrive in time, he can hold off the Britannian Army cavalry until Oed brings troops to help!
Just as Simeon clenched his fists and a confident smile gradually appeared on his face——
Poof!
——The sound of tearing cloth suddenly came from behind.
What's wrong?
Simeon asked doubtfully in his heart, while turning his head and looking behind him.
Behind him, the tent that he must have used for working and resting in these days has been torn into pieces.
The culprit who tore this tent into pieces was a small army with a total number of only about a hundred people.
Looking at the small cavalry force that suddenly appeared behind him, Simeon's eyes suddenly widened in horror.
Because he saw that the cavalrymen of this small cavalry unit, except for the leader, were all wearing black armor.
With a look of horror on his face, Simeon subconsciously took a step back and stretched his right hand to his right waist.
However, before Simeon could reach his right hand to his right waist, he saw the leader of this small cavalry unit - a man wearing white and blue armor and carrying a green knight's sword at his waist. The tall man waved away the spear in his hand.
——The sharp spear tip mercilessly penetrated Simeon's left chest.
