Chapter 350 Alyssa: I Believe in Su Cheng!
August 11, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
It was 20:11 on the night of the twelfth day of the Battle of Feihai.
Feihai Plain, Britannia Army Camp.
Alyssa and Hazel, who looked very ugly, walked in the camp one after another.
While walking slowly, the two of them looked around and observed the soldiers around them.
The mood of the soldiers in the camp was visibly depressed.
It's still dinner time, and many soldiers are sitting in various corners with tired and disappointed faces, silently drinking hot porridge from their bowls.
Looking at the visibly depressed soldiers around her, Alyssa's already very ugly face became even more ugly at this time.
"Miss Alyssa..." Hazel, who was behind Alyssa, mustered up the courage to say, "The injuries on your body... don't matter, right?"
In today's battle, it was also seen that the current Britannia Army is no match for the Luo Lin Army, whose morale has exploded now. They must retreat and reorganize their formation, otherwise they will be defeated by the Luo Lin Army!
Alyssa, who saw that the entire army was in urgent need of retreat, took the initiative to ask for the cover mission.
Regarding Alyssa's request, Albert was not ambiguous and directly sent 20,000 troops to Alyssa. These 20,000 troops also included the most elite armored warriors. Albert asked Alyssa to Leading this 20,000-strong army is responsible for breaking up the rear and covering the retreat of the large forces.
With the desperate fighting of Alyssa and her 20,000 troops, they finally succeeded in covering the retreat of the large army to the northeast to a safe area 10 miles away.
However, even though they successfully completed the cover mission, the 20,000 troops under Alyssa's command also suffered heavy casualties. Under the fierce attack of Luo Lin's army, only 10,000 people managed to come back alive.
Alyssa, who was already injured, received several more injuries after returning from the post-dissection mission.
After hearing Hazel's concern, Alyssa smiled, and then said softly:
"I'm fine. They're just minor injuries. Don't worry. Instead of worrying about my injuries, it's better to care about the current situation of our troops..."
Speaking of this, Alyssa couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Hazel said in a disappointed tone:
"Today's battle destroyed the morale of our troops..."
In today's battle, the Britannia Army was not only pushed back for 10 miles by Luo Lin's army, whose morale exploded, but was also demoralized by Luo Lin's army.
Many soldiers have not recovered from their panic. After all, the momentum of Luo Lin's army today is really terrifying. Let alone these ordinary soldiers, even Alyssa, who has experienced hundreds of battles, I have never seen such a terrifying momentum like Luo Linjun's today.
"The most troublesome part for us now is not only the loss of morale." Alyssa said solemnly, "Aside from the loss of morale, the most troublesome thing for us now is the military rations..."
Speaking of this, Alyssa couldn't help but have a sad look on her face.
Today's retreat was too hasty, so a large amount of baggage was inevitably missed.
Originally, according to their plan, their military rations could last until August 15th, but with a large amount of military rations missing, I really don’t know how long they can last...
Just as Alyssa and Hazel were talking there, they unknowingly walked to the front of the coach's camp.
"Hai Rou'er, wait for me outside the tent for a while."
After leaving these words, Alyssa walked straight into the camp.
After lifting the curtain, Alyssa saw that the long table in the middle of the camp was already full of people.
The two people sitting at the head of the long table were Albert and Allen.
Whether it was Albert, Allen, or the other knights sitting at the long table, their faces were all pale at this time.
At this time, an emergency meeting was being held that only knights with higher status in the army could participate.
Therefore there was just enough space on both sides of the long table for all the high knights in the army to take their places.
The reason why this meeting was called urgently was to calculate how long the current military rations would be enough to last, and to discuss the next countermeasures.
The reason why Alyssa went to the camp and took Hazel around the military camp just now was because she was ordered by Albert to observe the morale and mood of the current army officers.
As soon as Alyssa entered the camp, Albert asked Alyssa:
"How is the mood and morale of the army's lieutenant generals?"
"very bad."
As soon as Albert finished speaking, Alyssa replied directly.
Alyssa walked slowly to her seat, pulled out the chair, and sat down, then continued:
"As we expected, today's battle has completely destroyed the morale of the entire army. To be honest, if our army is still in this state and the morale of Luo Lin's army is still as terrible as it is today, this Feihai The battle - we are defeated."
"Yeah..." Albert, who looked a little haggard, murmured with a wry smile.
"So -" this time it was Alyssa's turn to ask Albert, "How much military rations do we still have? How long will it be enough for our entire army?"
Alyssa is now eager to know how long the current military rations will be enough for the entire army after missing a large amount of military rations today.
After hearing Alyssa's question, everyone in the tent, including Albert, remained silent.
After a while, Albert sighed, and then whispered:
"...We have just made calculations based on the only remaining military rations. The current military rations are only enough for us...the morning of August 13th...that is to say, after eating breakfast on August 13th, we will Food is out..."
Although she had already been mentally prepared, after hearing what Albert said, Alyssa's face suddenly turned white.
"So, if we eat sparingly and only ration the minimum amount of food for each meal, how long can we last?!" Alyssa asked urgently.
"What I just said is the result of rationing only the minimum amount of food for each meal." Albert said the very cruel truth in a calm tone.
"How could it be..." Alyssa leaned back on the chair behind her with a look of loss of virginity, "In other words, even if only the minimum amount of food is rationed for each meal, it is only enough Shall we hold on until the morning the day after tomorrow?”
No one answered Alyssa.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
However, remaining silent was already an answer to Alyssa.
"...withdraw the troops." Allen, who had been keeping his arms crossed and silent just now, said in a deep voice, "We have no chance of winning in this battle of Crimson Sea. The morale of the entire army is low and the rations are about to be exhausted. , under such circumstances, there is no chance of winning the Feihai battle. Although I am very unwilling to do so, this is the fact."
As soon as Allen finished speaking, many knights in the camp nodded silently.
Many knights have the same idea as Allen, thinking that there is no chance of winning this battle at Feihai. They should withdraw their troops and return home quickly before the current military rations are exhausted.
However, just as Alan finished speaking his opinion, Alyssa, who had just looked absent-minded, suddenly said;
"...No, we still have a chance of winning this Feihai battle."
"Odds of winning?" Allen frowned and looked at Alyssa, "I don't know what you mean, Deputy Commander Alyssa, by the chance of winning? In the current situation, do we still have any chance of winning?"
As soon as Allen finished speaking, Alyssa said loudly:
"have!"
With this shout, Alyssa raised her head.
Alyssa's face was full of determination at this time.
"We still have the Eastern Route Army! We still have Su Cheng!"
——and shouted like this.
Alyssa's shout seemed to wake up many people.
Many knights in the tent, including Albert, after hearing Alyssa's shout, their dim eyes regained some brilliance.
"Deputy Commander Alyssa..." Allen continued to frown, "I also know that Su Cheng's troops are here on the southern front now, but can you guarantee that Su Cheng can arrive before our military rations are exhausted? ?"
"Our current military rations are only enough for us until the morning of August 13th! It will take Su Cheng's Eastern Route Army five days to reach our Feihai Plain."
"That is to say, Su Cheng must capture Mayin City before August 8th so that he can come over before our army supplies run out!"
"Do you think Su Cheng has the ability to capture Mayin City and come here in such a short period of time?!"
Allen's words made the knight's eyes, which had regained some sparkle just now, become dim again.
Allen was right, time was too tight, and they all didn't believe that Su Cheng could capture Mayin City in such a short period of time, and then come over before their combined forces ran out of food.
Even Alyssa's face couldn't help but darken after hearing Allen's big words.
However, Alyssa's mind resurfaced at this time with various scenes of fighting side by side with Su Cheng at the end of last year.
When the coach died in battle and the entire army didn't know where to go, Su Cheng resolutely stepped forward to take over the position of coach of the entire army.
Su Cheng was crouching in front of the battle map and thinking about his strategy. Su Cheng didn't even notice the approach of others.
The ingenious strategy of "water storage to intercept the enemy" was formulated and successfully implemented, leading them to win the Weihe Annihilation War.
…
These scenes flashed through Alyssa's mind one by one.
In the end, the scene that was fixed in Alyssa's mind was Su Cheng's figure, although a little thin, but unexpectedly it seemed that he could lean on it with confidence.
"I...believe in Su Cheng!"
A look of determination appeared on Alyssa's face again.
"I believe that Su Cheng will definitely come here! He will definitely come to save us! I believe in him!!"
