Chapter 60: The Battle at the Ferry of Elon (5)
Ten miles west of the 100,000-strong army of the Britannia Empire, somewhere on a high slope.
Holding an ax and gun, Allen rode his horse and stood on a high slope. He looked indifferently at the Britannia Imperial Army 10 miles away. He was expressionless and calm, standing like a Valkyrie. between heaven and earth.
The 4,000 armored paladins who followed him all looked at him with fanaticism.
The 100,000 troops of the Britannia Empire were still relatively far away from them. Even though Allen's eyesight was amazing, he only saw 5 small spots the size of sesame seeds.
He knew what these 5 small dots the size of sesame seeds were—it was the 5th Army of the Britannia Imperial Army arranged in a "T" shape.
"It seems that the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army is not good." Allen said, "He fell into our trap perfectly, and all his attention was focused on the 60,000 troops who were pretending to be about to cross the river and attack. The sides are completely ignored."
"Hehe," Er said on the side, "General Allen is really good at using soldiers like a god! Due to the influence of seasons, the change in the amount of water in the river can be taken into account."
Facing Er's flattery, Allen just smiled, and then said:
"It is already November, and autumn and winter have entered, and the river has entered a dry season. The water level in some parts of the Fu River has been greatly reduced, and the flow rate of the water has also decreased. The commander of the Britannia Imperial Army can only think of The Fu River has a large amount of water, and the water volume is very short, but I didn't expect that the water volume and flow speed of the river will vary with the seasons. It seems that the commander in command of the Britannia Imperial Army this time is really a mediocre general Ah! This time, Britannia will lose!"
Before, when Allen was in the commander's tent and the generals of the Carolingian Kingdom Army at all levels were thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, a cold wind blew into the commander's tent.
After this shocking cold wind brushed Alan's cheeks, Alan suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his head!
He realized that it was autumn and winter!
It is true that the Fu River has a large volume of water and the current is very fast. Only one place is suitable for crossing the river, but it is already autumn and winter, and the rivers have entered the dry season. So is it possible that the Fu River has one or two places The water level has been lowered and the flow has slowed down enough to allow the army to cross it?
In order to verify whether his guess was correct, Allen immediately asked Er to come with him, and by the way, he took a dozen cavalrymen and searched upstream along the Fu River to find out whether the water level somewhere in the Fu River has dropped. up.
Thus, there was the scene of pulling Er Er upriver along the Fu River for most of the day.
Along the Fu River, I walked upstream until night, and finally found a place where the water level has dropped!
The water level in that place is much lower than other places, and the water flow is very slow.
After the conjecture was successfully verified, Alan's heart could no longer be described with ecstasy! He drew up a battle plan on the spot.
Because the planned operation this time is a surprise attack operation! He didn't need too many soldiers, so he decided to divide the Carolingian Kingdom Army into two parts, leaving 20,000 troops to continue to besiege Heron City, and the remaining 60,000 troops were brought to the east bank of Elon Ferry!
Allen decided to take a gamble, betting that the head coach of the Britannia Empire did not notice that the water level in some parts of the V River had dropped, and focused all his attention on the Ferry of Elon.
When the war started, Allen asked the 60,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army to gather all the ships and pretended to be about to cross the river to attack the West Bank, further attracting the attention of the Britannia Imperial Army on the West Bank.
And Allen personally led 4,000 armored paladins, removed all the heavy armor on the horses, and replaced the heavy armor on everyone with light armor, and came to the place where the water level of the Fu River had dropped.
Every horse of the Iron Armored Paladin is a carefully selected and excellent horse. Swimming through this place where the water is not too deep and the current is not too fast,
More than enough for the horses of the armored cavalry!
As a result, the Iron Armored Paladins, including Allen, hugged their horses, swam across the Fu River, and successfully reached the west bank of the Fu River!
After successfully crossing the V River and arriving on the west bank of the V River, Allen led the Iron Armored Paladins roundabout to the left of the Britannia Imperial Army non-stop.
So far, every link of Allen's strategy has been perfectly realized! Nicholas and his knights, including Su Cheng, did not expect to enter the dry season now, and now some places in the huge Fu River have become crossable.
And the Carolingian Kingdom Army, which was responsible for attracting the attention of the Britannia Imperial Army, also completed the task perfectly! All the soldiers of the Britannian Imperial Army are now focusing on the Carolingian Kingdom Army on the opposite bank, which seems to be about to attack, and they don't pay attention to their side at all. The danger is gradually approaching!
And Allen, Er and their 4,000 armored paladins also successfully crossed the Fu River and detoured to the left of the Britannia Imperial Army.
Now, there is only one last step left—leading the Iron Armored Paladins to launch a surprise attack on the Britannia Imperial Army with thunderous force!
Allen still knew very well that no matter how powerful the 4,000 armored paladins under his command were, no matter how hard they killed them, they would not be able to kill the 100,000 army. Even 100,000 pigs would be enough for them to kill for several days!
Therefore, in order to maximize the results of the surprise attack, Allen decided to adopt a beheading tactic-go straight to the commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army, and cut off the head of the commander of the Britannia Imperial Army!
As long as the commander-in-chief is eliminated, the rest will be easy to handle.
...
Allen stretched his lower arms, moved the joints of his lower body, and made crisp joint stretching sounds.
"General Allen," Er said, "The armored paladins are all ready and ready to attack at any time!"
"okay."
Allen turned his head and looked at the 4000 armored paladins behind him.
Every cavalryman looked at him enthusiastically and excitedly, as if telling Allen: Hurry up and start! We can't wait!
Allen's eyes flicked over the faces of each cavalry one by one, and the confidence in his heart became more and more full!
He felt that as long as he had these brothers behind him, there would be no battle he could not win!
The general gave the soldiers the confidence to win, so why didn't the soldiers give the general the confidence to win?
Allen raised the ax and gun in his hand high, and said loudly:
"Brothers! Come with us! Let's put an end to this decisive battle at the Ferry of Aeron!"
"Oooo!!"
The 4,000 armored paladins raised their weapons high and shouted in unison!
Allen turned his head, shouted, and kicked the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately started to drive. Allen felt a burst of icy cold wind hit his face, and Er and the 4000 armored paladins behind Allen were also skilled. The ground kicked the horse's belly, and thousands of horses turned their hooves, making a noise that could shake the earth, making a muffled sound like thunder, rushing down from the high ground, and killing the Britannian Imperial Army. go!
