Chapter 895: Battle of Otto (II)
Faced with the massive attack of the Britannia Army, the Lord of Otto City was not panicked at all. He used his strong skills to raise an army of 60,000 soldiers who could fight on the battlefield in a very short time. At the same time, he saw through that his troops could not withstand a long battle, and he really had the courage to line up the army outside the city to fight the Britannia Army to the death.
His various performances are fully qualified to be called brave and resourceful.
So Willy couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that such a talent could not be used by the Britannia Empire, which was really a regrettable loss.
The knights waiting for Willy's orders had already stood under the watchtower.
As soon as Willy climbed down the watchtower, he shouted directly to the knights in front of him:
"No more waiting, let's start."
"Who is willing to lead the first formation to launch the first attack?"
Willie divided the entire army into three formations.
The first formation was responsible for launching the first attack on the enemy, while the second and third formations were arranged behind the first formation as reserve troops.
As soon as Willy finished speaking, 5 or 6 knights jumped out and shouted that they were willing to lead the soldiers of the first formation to defeat the Hiran army.
In this "Aurora" offensive, the advance of the Western Army was too smooth, so they did not encounter any major battles worth mentioning along the way.
For the knights, no battles meant no military merits.
This situation of no military merits naturally made many knights feel dissatisfied and unwilling.
Now that they finally encountered a major battle and finally had an opportunity to make merits, those knights who were eager for military merits naturally rushed to the front and even quarreled with each other.
Just as the knights were arguing about who should lead the first attack, a loud voice overwhelmed the arguments of others:
"Commander, please let me lead the first attack."
As soon as the loud voice fell, everyone present turned their eyes to follow the voice.
The owner of this loud voice was Allen.
Alan used his strong body to push away the knights around him, and then knelt on one knee in front of Willy.
"Commander, please let me lead the first attack."
Seeing Allen actively recommending himself, Willy couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
He thought to himself:
- Allen is really active in this "Aurora" offensive...
The way the Western Army marched was exactly the same as the Eastern Army, both of which divided the army into two parts: the main force and the vanguard.
The vanguard of the Eastern Army was led by Deng Jiaer, while the vanguard of the Western Army was led by Allen.
When leading the vanguard, Allen was particularly active and fought bravely.
I don't know if it was Willy's illusion, Allen didn't seem to be so active all the time, but suddenly became active.
At the beginning, Allen's performance was quite satisfactory, but gradually, I don't know what happened, Allen began to become more and more active.
Now he has taken the initiative to recommend himself and asked Willy to give him the command of the first formation.
After pondering for a while, Willy nodded:
"Okay, Allen, the first formation will be handed over to you to command, fight a beautiful battle for us to see."
There are two reasons why Willy chose to give Allen the command of the first formation.
First of all, Allen is very capable.
There is no doubt that Allen, nicknamed "Steel Bone", is a rare person in the army who is both wise and brave.
Throughout the entire Michael Knights, there are only three people like Allen who can sit in the main camp to command the army and rush to the front of the army to lead the army to charge. Raymond, Samuel, and Eliza are the only ones.
Secondly, Willy also wants to give Allen a chance.
Although Allen is very capable, he has a very embarrassing identity.
That is, he is a surrendered general from the Frankish Empire.
Because of his identity, he is treated coldly by many people.
Willy guessed: The reason why Allen suddenly became active in this offensive may be to prove himself through military exploits and let others recognize him.
So Willy plans to give Allen a chance, give Allen a chance to make meritorious deeds, and let him prove himself through military exploits.
After hearing that Willy agreed to hand over the command of the first formation to him, Allen hurriedly thanked Willy.
After thanking Willy, Allen continued:
"Commander, I have two more requests."
"Two requests? Well, go ahead."
"Commander, I hope you can let Enli be my adjutant. I need Enli to be my partner."
Enli, who was suddenly named, suddenly widened his eyes.
And others, including Willy, also turned their eyes and looked at Enli, who had been behind everyone and had not said a word since just now.
"Allen, do you want Enli to be your adjutant?" Willy asked Allen.
"That's right." Allen said seriously, "I need Enli's assistance."
After hearing what Allen said, Willy couldn't help but chuckle a few times, and then asked Enli, who was still confused:
"Hehe... Enli, Allen took the initiative to name you, hoping that you can be his deputy general and lead the generals and soldiers of the first formation with him. What do you think?"
As soon as Willy finished speaking, Enli smiled helplessly and raised his hand to scratch his hair.
"I don't mind being Allen's deputy general. I'll just leave everything to the coach's arrangements."
"Okay." Willy nodded heavily, "Alan, then I will do as you wish and transfer Enli to your adjutant to lead the first formation with you."
"Thank you, Commander."
"Okay, what is your other request?"
"Commander, I ask you to transfer the Armored Warriors to the first formation."
"Armored Warriors?" Willy frowned.
The heavy armored infantry regiment established and trained by Allen is undoubtedly the trump card of the Western Army.
The Armored Warriors are now in the third formation. Willy's original intention is to let the Armored Warriors serve as a reserve force to support the battlefield at any time.
If the Armored Warriors are transferred to the first formation, it means that they will participate in the first attack on the enemy and cannot serve as a reserve force.
After thinking about it, Willy nodded.
"Okay, then the 4,000 Armored Warriors will be handed over to you for command."
The reason why Willy agreed to hand over the Armored Warriors to Allen was also after a lot of consideration.
Willy thought about it: the Armored Warriors were established and trained by Allen.
If we talk about the familiarity of the Armored Warriors, no one can surpass Allen.
Willy considered that if the Armored Warriors were handed over to Allen for command, it would be possible to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Armored Warriors, so he decided to transfer the Armored Warriors to the 1st Army.
"Thank you, Commander!" Allen said respectfully, "I promise you: If I can't defeat the Hiran Army before noon, I am willing to accept any punishment!"
After that, Allen stood up and left the main camp with Enli one after the other, and went to the 1st camp at the front of the army to prepare for the attack.
