Chapter 293 We Still Have Su Cheng’s Troops! (Down)
"Mr. Albert was defeated?!"
"With an army of 60,000, there are only 28,000 left... This is too..."
The military conference venue of the West Route Army was filled with roars and questions.
"No matter what, it's a terrible loss! The main force was immediately disabled!"
The faces of the knights in the camp were full of panic and astonishment.
"It's troublesome... Now the entire war situation has tilted in favor of the Luo Lin Empire..."
"The Central Army, which is the main force, has been disabled, so it will be too difficult to continue the 'Xia Feng' offensive... If it doesn't work, let's temporarily withdraw the troops as Mr. Albert said in the emergency report. Let’s go! After retreating to a safe area, and joining forces with Mr. Albert and Mr. Makoto’s troops, let’s make long-term plans!”
"What stupid words are you talking about! If we withdraw our troops, doesn't it mean that this 'Xia Feng' offensive has failed?!"
"Then what do you want? Keep fighting? Don't forget! Our main force has been destroyed to less than half!"
"Open your eyes and look at the map! Now the Central Army is unable to fight anymore! The main force of the Luo Lin Army led by Barr can be said to be completely liberated without the obstruction of the Central Army! Now Barr can completely command the main force of the Luo Lin Army to make a detour Come and take the back path of our West Route Army, or take the back path of the East Route Army! If our back path is taken by the main force of Luo Lin Army, what will happen to us then? You can imagine it with your toes, right?! "
"Are we just going to give up?!"
"Do you think I want to withdraw my troops?! Do you think I just want the 'Xia Feng' offensive to fail?! But look at the current situation! There is no need to continue the 'Xia Feng' offensive! No more If the fight continues, we and the Eastern Route Army will most likely be outflanked by the main force of Bal's Luolin Army! By then, our entire army will be annihilated!"
…
The knights in the military tent were so noisy that their faces turned red and veins popped out on their necks.
The knights in the account gradually divided into two factions.
One group supported Albert's proposal in the emergency report: the three armies in the west, center and east would withdraw their troops and retreat to a safe area before long-term planning together.
One group believes that the situation has not deteriorated to the point where it is necessary to withdraw troops and give up the "Xia Feng" offensive. They believe that the "Xia Feng" offensive should continue and continue to be fought.
Just as the two groups of knights were quarreling and blushing, Allen, who was sitting in the main seat, said nothing and looked at the battle map on the table in front of him silently without saying a word.
His eyes kept moving back and forth between the three places: "West Route Army Position", "East Route Army Position", and "Lixi City, the important town of the Luolin Empire".
The knights were so noisy that their faces turned red, and Allen looked at the map silently - this slightly strange situation lasted for more than 10 minutes.
After this weird situation lasted for more than 10 minutes, Allen finally broke the weird situation.
"...Stop arguing."
Allen's voice was not loud or high-pitched.
He just said this in a calm tone.
But Allen's words seemed to have some magic power. After he said them, the noisy military camp immediately became quiet.
After the entire military camp became quiet, Allen continued:
"I have just made in-depth thinking and judgment on the current situation."
"I think - the 'Xia Feng' offensive can definitely go ahead! We haven't reached the point where we need to admit defeat yet!"
As soon as Allen said these words, before those knights who supported continuing the fight had time to show joy, those knights who supported retreating said anxiously:
"Coach! Why do you say that? Do you think that under the current situation, what else can our West Route Army do?! Can our West Route Army still reverse this bad situation?!"
As soon as the knight finished speaking, Allen immediately said:
"With our Western Route Army alone,
There really isn't much that can be done. "
"But - don't forget, don't we still have the Eastern Route Army?! We still have Su Cheng's troops!"
Allen's tone was firm and resounding.
"Only our West Route Army, or just Su Cheng's East Route Army, really can't reverse the current bad situation, but as long as Su Cheng and I work together! As long as our two armies work together! We can completely defeat 'Xia Feng' Continue the offensive! Reversal of this bad situation!!"
"The two armies work together...to reverse the situation..." a knight said in a dazed tone, "What should we do?"
"It's easy!"
Allen stood up with a "hoo", took a thin stick next to him, waved the thin stick in his hand, and pressed the tip of the thin stick against the "Western Route Army Position" on the map in front of him.
"The biggest problem now is that the Central Route Army responsible for the 'main attack' has been destroyed! Without the 'main attack', it is extremely difficult for the 'Xia Feng' offensive to succeed. And now the main force of Baal's Luolin Army is very likely to outflank our West Route Army and The situation of the East Route Army, our West Route Army and Su Cheng's East Route Army is very dangerous!"
“Since the Central Route Army is no longer able to assume the ‘main attack position’, wouldn’t it be enough for our West Route Army to take over the ‘main attack position’?!”
As soon as Allen said these words, all the knights in the camp looked at Allen dumbfounded.
Both the knights from the "main attack faction" and the knights from the "main retreat faction" looked at Allen in shock.
"Coach." The adjutant sitting next to Allen said, "Do you mean to change our Western Route Army from the 'auxiliary offensive position' to the 'main offensive position'?"
"That's right!" Allen said loudly, "Since the Central Route Army can no longer complete its mission, can't we, the West Route Army, help it complete it?!"
"Our West Route Army has changed from the 'auxiliary offensive position' to the 'main offensive position'. After first defeating the 70,000 Luo Lin Army that is confronting us, we will march straight in! To complete the task that the Central Route Army should have completed - to attack directly. Lixi City, the important town of the Luolin Empire, attracts the main force of Baal's Luolin Army! Then there will be a head-on confrontation with Baal's main army!"
"And Su Cheng's East Route Army changed from 'feint attack position' to 'auxiliary attack position'! First defeat the 60,000 enemy troops blocking them! Then they went to complete the task that should have been completed by our West Route Army - from Approach the city of Lixi on the flank, and then join us in attacking Baal's main force!"
"So, we can now completely carry out the 'Xia Feng' offensive! As long as we cooperate with the Eastern Route Army! We can completely carry out the 'Xia Feng' offensive! To achieve the goal of 'maximizing the destruction of the Luolin Empire's active forces' !”
"As for 'Bar will lead the main force of the Luo Lin Army to attack our retreat, and then flank us with the 70,000 Luo Lin Army who are confronting us', there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, right?! We only need to use Baal to lead the main force of the Luo Lin Army to outflank us. Before coming here, wouldn’t it be enough to defeat the 70,000 Luo Lin army on the opposite side first?!”
Many knights in the tent were frightened by Allen's amazing battle plan.
"Lord, Commander..." a knight said in a trembling tone, "Defeat the 70,000 Luo Lin army on the opposite side? How to do this? We obviously spent almost 20 days and still couldn't defeat it..."
"As for this... you don't have to worry." Allen said solemnly, "I actually have a way to defeat the 70,000 Luo Lin army on the opposite side, but because the risk of this strategy is too high, I have been I’m just hesitating, but as long as my strategy is successful, we only need one morning to defeat Denis and Leo’s 70,000 Luo Lin army on the opposite side!”
As soon as Allen finished speaking, his adjutant immediately said:
"Coach! Although your battle plan feels very feasible! But your battle plan is based on Mr. Cheng's willingness to cooperate with you in the battle! What if Mr. Cheng is unwilling to cooperate with you in this battle?"
After hearing what the adjutant said, Allen, who was in a very high mood just now, immediately changed his expression.
Allen closed his mouth tightly, and after pondering for a while, he spoke out:
"...You are right. If Su Cheng is not willing to cooperate with me, our West Route Army alone will not be able to do much."
After saying that, Allen took the paper and quill from the side.
"Let me write a letter to him." Allen said while dipping the quill in ink. "I want to see what Su Cheng's wishes are."
"If Su Cheng does not support my battle plan, then we will have no choice but to retreat. Without the assistance of the East Route Army, there is no way we can carry out the 'Xia Feng' offensive with only our West Route Army." The situation has been reversed again.”
"But - if Su Cheng supports my battle plan and is willing to cooperate with me..."
"Then Su Cheng and I will work together to complete a legendary battle worthy of being written into an epic!"
As Allen said this, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes.
Looking at Allen's terrifying appearance, many knights couldn't help but shudder and swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
I beg you! Mr. Cheng! Reject Allen's battle plan! Retreat! !
——Several knights from the "Lord Withdrawal Sect" prayed like this in their hearts.
They understood that if Allen, who held the highest decision-making power of the Western Route Army, was determined to launch his newly formulated battle plan, then they could only obey obediently.
Therefore, many "main withdrawal" knights who felt that Allen's battle plan was simply ridiculous and did not want to continue fighting were silently praying in their hearts, praying that Su Cheng would reject Allen's battle plan.
Allen quickly wrote and sealed his letter to Su Cheng, and then summoned the messengers with the best equestrian skills in their Western Route Army.
"I will give you three of the best horses." Allen said to the messenger in a tough tone, "Send them to the coach of the Eastern Route Army, Su Cheng, as quickly as possible. It doesn’t matter if the horse runs away and dies!”
"yes!"
After the messenger responded loudly, he took Allen's letter and ran out of the camp quickly.
…
The second phase of the "Xia Feng" offensive, as Allen's letter to Su Cheng continued to approach the Eastern Route Army's camp, slowly - began!
