Chapter 675 Cavalry Attack

Su Cheng looked at the big map hanging in front of him and pondered, silently for a long time.

Willy and others also stood quietly behind Su Cheng, waiting for Su Cheng to speak.

Su Cheng did not keep his subordinates waiting for long.

After pondering for a long time, Su Cheng finally said:

"We have 120,000 troops and the enemy has 300,000 troops. The total strength is very different, so we have to make good use of the greatest advantage of our Michael Knights - the location of Avalon Fortress."

"As long as the Avalon Fortress is defended, the Hiran Army will not be able to invade our homeland."

"To support such a large-scale army for an expedition, the amount of money and food required is simply an astronomical amount."

"No matter how powerful the Holy Hiran Empire is, it cannot withstand a long expedition."

"As long as we hold on to Avalon Fortress, we will win."

After hearing what Su Cheng said, many people, including Willy, thought to themselves:

——It seems that the leader also plans to defend the Avalon Fortress completely.

Just when everyone thought that Su Cheng's idea was the same as the strategy proposed by Gary just now, Su Cheng's conversation suddenly changed:

"Although I still have to defend, I don't intend to defend blindly!"

"The scale of the Holy Hiran Empire's invasion is unprecedented. The combat troops alone number more than 300,000, and the logistics troops will only be even larger."

"Since the Holy Hiran Empire dares to launch such a large-scale offensive, it is enough to prove that the Holy Hiran Empire's invasion is serious and will not give up until it achieves its goal."

"That means they are definitely ready for a long-term battle."

"Even though the national strength of the Holy Hiran Empire is not as good as before, the title of 'superpower' is still there. Who knows how much their baggage is?"

"If we want to defend blindly and expect the Hiran army to retreat after running out of supplies, then we don't know how long it will take."

"So - we must take the initiative to attack!"

"The first attack of this unprecedented war will be fought by our Knights of Michael!"

"Our Michael Knights have the best cavalry in the empire. It would be a waste if we don't use it alone."

"The vanguard of Hiran's army has now reached a place 20 miles north of the fortress. This distance is suitable for launching a surprise attack."

"We will immediately summon the elite cavalry of the Knights and set off immediately!"

"Launch a lightning-quick surprise attack on the vanguard of Hiran's army."

"There is no need to cause much damage to the Xilan Army. It only needs to weaken and damage the morale of the Xilan Army!"

"In this kind of battle with a huge disparity in combat power between the enemy and ourselves, if our army takes the initiative to attack, wins the first attack, and successfully completes a surprise attack, it will definitely weaken the morale of Xilan's army and boost the morale of our army!"

Su Cheng's words were so sonorous and powerful.

Everyone present immediately felt that the atmosphere was different.

The atmosphere in the command room had always been lifeless before, and most people tended to adopt a passive and cautious "shrinking tortoise style of play."

But as soon as Su Cheng arrived, without saying a word, he took the initiative to attack, using the powerful combat power of our cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's vanguard.

This momentum is completely different.

Although I don’t know whether this strategy is good or bad, the momentum is there.

Looking at Su Cheng's back, Willy, Alyssa, and Deng Jiaer were in a trance.

Suddenly, the three of them seemed to have seen the scene again when they launched the rescue war for the Lund Kingdom three years ago.

The same was true for Su Cheng, who was appointed to take over as coach after suffering a huge defeat in the Battle of Ilen Ferry.

When everyone didn't know what to do, he used sonorous and powerful words to announce that the entire army would go north to attack the Carolingian Kingdom, draw the enemy over, and then fight again in the wilderness.

Regardless of success or failure, the momentum is already there, and it is still sufficient.

On the battlefield, nothing can be lost without losing momentum.

After listening to Su Cheng's words, everyone was very surprised.

Because what Su Cheng said just now is almost exactly the same as what Samuel just said.

If it weren't for seeing Su Cheng arrive at the fortress just now, many people would have suspected that Su Cheng had just been lying outside the command room door and eavesdropped on Samuel's claims.

Su Cheng was very firm in his opinion. After explaining his opinion, he started to issue orders without saying a word.

Each army of the Michael Knights has 3,000 cavalry, so the Michael Knights currently have a total of 18,000 cavalry.

For a surprise attack, this number of cavalry was a bit too much.

After some thought and calculation, Su Cheng felt that only 3,000 cavalry were needed.

After Su Cheng decided to take the initiative to send 3,000 cavalry out to attack Xilan's army, many knights immediately volunteered to be the commander in chief of the surprise attack.

Among the knights who volunteered, there were Raymond, Samuel, Deng Jiaer and others.

This surprise attack is very important. Its effectiveness will directly affect the subsequent battles.

Therefore, after careful and careful consideration, Su Cheng handed over the surprise attack to Raymond.

Raymond was responsible for commanding 3,000 cavalry of his 1st Army out of the fortress to launch this surprise attack.

Raymond is good at cavalry combat, and the cavalry team of the 1st Army trained by Raymond is also the most elite cavalry team in the whole regiment. Therefore, Su Cheng handed over this important task to Raymond and the cavalry of the neighboring 1st Army. .

"Raymond, tell me the time."

Su Cheng took out his pocket watch while talking and checked the time:

"My pocket watch shows that it is now 15:00 in the evening, how about you?"

Raymond looked at his pocket watch:

"15:00 - the time is correct."

"Okay, then I will give you 2 hours to prepare. In these 2 hours, gather your cavalry of the 1st Army and make all preparations for the battle."

"After 2 hours, that is, 15:00, I will see a cavalry ready for battle at the north gate of the fortress."

"Yes!" Raymond responded loudly.

"Do a good job and don't let me down."

"Yes! I will never let the commander down! I will definitely scare the Hilan people! Show the power of our Michael Knights and our Britannia!"

After that, Raymond walked out of the command room quickly with the knight's sword at his waist to prepare for the expedition.

After giving Raymond the order, Su Cheng turned his head and gave Elisa the order:

"Elisa."

Unlike the tough tone when he gave Raymond the order just now, Su Cheng's tone could not help but become much softer when he gave the order to Elisa.

"I'm here!"

Although she was Su Cheng's wife, Elisa did not forget that this was the command room of the Knights' headquarters and that she was now Su Cheng's subordinate.

So after hearing Su Cheng calling her, Elisa immediately responded loudly.

"Go home and get my armor and knight's sword for me."

"By the way, apologize to Alan and Carol for me."

"Although I'm back, I will live in the Knights' headquarters for a while and cannot go home immediately."

"I won't go home until the war stabilizes."
