Chapter 340: Blind Spot of Thinking (Part 1)

August 1, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

19:48 pm.

Southern front line, eastern battlefield, Eastern Route Army camp.

It should be time to finish dinner now, but the knights of the Eastern Route Army have not eaten yet.

All the knights of the Eastern Route Army gathered at Su Cheng's coach's camp for a lively discussion.

The reason why such a heated discussion broke out tonight was because of the urgent report sent to Su Cheng jointly by Albert and Allen this afternoon.

This urgent report was exactly the one sent to Su Cheng after Albert and Allen reunited a few days ago.

In this emergency report, it was written how Allen defeated Denis and Leo's 70,000-strong army, and then also wrote that Albert and Allen had successfully joined forces to form an army with a total strength of almost 80,000. The combined forces were preparing for a decisive battle with Barr's 150,000 troops on the Feihai Plain. When Su Cheng saw this urgent message, the fighting was already fierce on the Feihai Plain.

At the same time, this emergency report also talked about the most urgent crisis for their joint forces - they don't have enough military rations!

Albert and Allen's combined forces only had enough rations until August 15th.

Therefore, considering that it takes about 5 days for the Eastern Route Army to reach the Feihai Plain, Albert and Allen hope that Su Cheng can break through Mayin City before August 10th and open up the road to the Feihai Plain. Rush to support the Feihai battle.

After Su Cheng announced Albert and Allen's request to the knights in the army, there was an uproar.

At this time, the reason why the knights in the army were having such a heated discussion was all because of Albert and Allen's request, which in their eyes was very difficult.

"You want us to capture Mayin City before August 10th?! This is too difficult for us! Our Eastern Route Army does not have any siege equipment! We can only rely on human lives to attack the city!"

"Without the help of any siege equipment and relying solely on human sea tactics, it would take at least about half a month to capture Mayin City..."

"How about we go and reply to Albert and Allen and tell them that our Eastern Route Army has no way of reaching the battlefield before August 15th?"

"Are you crazy! There must have been fighting over there in the Feihai Plain now! Didn't you see the troop shortage mentioned in the emergency report?! 80,000 against 150,000! No matter what, we must rush over to help. ah!"

"You said it lightly! Then tell me how to rush for reinforcements now! Without any siege equipment, it will take at least half a month to break through Mayin City! It is already August 1 The number is up! We only have 9 days left! There is simply not enough time!"

"Is there no other way to fight besides the human sea tactic..."

"If there were any, I would have used them long ago!"

"How about we dig a tunnel? Dig into Mayin City from underground..."

"...Hey, are you serious about this suggestion? You should have seen the state of the defenders on the wall of Mayin City in the past two days, right? You should also be able to see the capabilities of the commanders of the Mayin City defenders. How great, right? A commander with such outstanding abilities, do you think he would not be wary of tunnels?"

"Now there really is no other way to attack the city except the human sea tactic..."

…

The knights were discussing and quarreling fiercely here.

And Su Cheng, who looked a little tired,

He huddled his body on the small chair.

Su Cheng didn't know what to do now.

Su Cheng now doesn't know how the fighting is going in the Feihai Plain. He doesn't know whether the Britannia army or Luo Lin's army has the upper hand.

But no matter what the fighting situation was like on the Feihai Plain, Su Cheng had to lead the Eastern Route Army to rush for reinforcements.

His friendly forces were fighting there, and Su Cheng could not do anything like "the friendly forces were in trouble and remained motionless".

What's more, Alyssa, who is the deputy commander of the Central Army, is currently fighting on the Feihai Plain.

After a series of events such as the Lund Kingdom rescue battle and the year-end dinner, Alyssa was now a very important person in Su Cheng's mind.

Therefore, whether in public or private matters, Su Cheng would not sit back and watch the Feihai battle.

However, if he wanted to rush to help the Feihai Plain, there would be a very serious problem in front of Su Cheng.

That means there simply isn’t enough time! There's no way to get there!

According to the urgent letter sent jointly by Albert and Allen, the rations for their combined forces were only enough to last until August 15th.

It would take about 5 days to capture Mayin City in Su Cheng and then rush to Feihai Plain.

In other words, Su Cheng must capture Mayin City before August 10th, so that he has enough time to rush to Feihai Plain to join the battle!

However, the Eastern Route Army lacked siege equipment and could only rely on improvised ladders to siege the city. In other words, it relied purely on human lives to win the siege of Mayin City.

According to Su Cheng's estimation, it would take at least half a month to do it just by relying on the human sea tactic.

Today is already August 1st, and there are only 9 days left until August 10th...

If you want to use the human sea tactic to attack the city, you won't have enough time!

Therefore, this is what gives Su Cheng a huge headache now.

Now before Su Cheng, there is such a problem: if he wants to rush to the aid of Feihai Plain, he must capture Mayin City in the remaining 9 days, and if he continues to use the human sea tactic, there will definitely not be enough time. Yes, this means that if you want to break the city on the 9th, you must use other clever strategies to deal with Mayin City. But judging from the current situation in Mayin City, Su Cheng can't think of any other clever strategies. To deal with Mayin City, there was no way to attack the city by water, and we did not use spies. We had no other choice but to use human sea tactics.

"well……"

Su Cheng sighed softly, then raised his hands to rub his swollen temples.

"It's really troublesome...I suddenly miss the ordinary days before I joined the army..."

Deng Jiaer and Alan were also in the tent at this time, sitting on the left and right sides of Su Cheng.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Logically speaking, Deng Jiaer and Alan's status in the military is just that of Su Cheng's knights, and they are not qualified to participate in this military meeting that only knights can participate in.

However, Deng Jiaer had previously completed the glorious feat of annihilating 15,000 enemy troops with 5,000 cavalry, capturing the city of Leer, and beheading Simeon. This gave Deng Jiaer his current prestige among the knights of the Eastern Route Army. rise rapidly.

From the original little transparent person, he directly became a figure respected by all knights.

Deng Jiaer used her record to prove her ability and her ability to not lose to the real knights.

Therefore, Deng Jiaer also participated in this military meeting and listened on the sidelines, but no one said anything.

The reason why Alan was able to sit in on this military meeting without being criticized by anyone was much simpler and more crude than Deng Jiaer's.

The reason why Alan is here is because - he is the sister of the coach of the East Route Army.

Of all the knights in the Eastern Route Army, who doesn’t know that their coach has an excellent relationship with his sister?

Who dares to say to the sister of his immediate boss: "Hey! You are just a knight's retinue! You have no right to be here! Get out of here!"?

Su Chengdu allowed his sister to sit next to him and listen, and it was inconvenient for the knights to say anything to Alan.

The reason why Alan wanted to sit in on this military meeting was actually just to join in the fun. Alan knew nothing about military matters. She didn’t even know where Feihai Plain was. So in tonight’s meeting, Alan He also remained silent the whole time, silently watching the noisy knights with red faces and thick necks, which was very interesting.

Su Cheng's sigh just now, although very slight, was still heard by Alan and Deng Jiaer, who were sitting on both sides of him. starter

"Brother..." Alan frowned and said, "You look like you are very tired. Why don't you adjourn the meeting now? You go and take a rest first. After you have rested, you can continue the meeting..."

"Yes, sir." Deng Jiaer on the side also agreed, "I also think it's better for you, sir, to take a rest first..."

"No, no need." Su Cheng smiled bitterly and rejected the two people's suggestion, "I'm okay...well, how can we capture Mayin City in nine days..."
