"Before we officially start the military discussion, I want to reiterate something to you." Nicholas said, "I reiterate that private fighting is strictly prohibited in the army! It's best not to let me find out next time. If I find out,

I will definitely punish you severely!"

As Nicholas spoke, his eyes glanced at Alyssa intentionally or unintentionally.

Alyssa, who knew that Nicholas was talking about her, lowered her head in shame.

"I'll leave it at that. I hope you can remember this." Nicholas added.

"Please don't worry, Commander!" said the commander of one of the armies, "We will never have private fights in the army again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commanders and deputy commanders of other armies nodded vigorously in agreement.

"I hope so." Nicholas looked indifferent, "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said, so let's start the military discussion!"

After saying that, Nicholas stood up slowly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the blue line marked "Fuhe" on the map.

"If our army wants to go and repel the 80,000 troops surrounding Heron City, then our army must cross the Fu River!"

"However, there is only one place in the Fu River that is suitable for a large army to cross, and that is the Elon Ferry!"

Nicholas slipped somewhere in the Fuhe River.

"Only by crossing the river at this ferry can our army cross the Fu River. In other words, Allen will definitely notice this, so he will definitely send all the main forces to guard Yilun Ferry and take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight with our army.

Fighting, that is to say, the Battle of Illun Ferry is the decisive battle between our army and the enemy! If we can successfully defeat the enemy defending the river and cross the Fu River, then it will be our army's victory. If we cannot defeat the enemy defending the river,

The enemy's army is our army's failure."

"A battle across the river..." Su Cheng murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "It seems this battle will not be easy."

"Commander," Alyssa frowned and continued, "The Fuhe River is so long. Is this the only way to cross the river at Ilen Ferry?"

"Yes, that's it." Nicholas nodded, "The amount of water in the Fu River is extremely large, and it is also very short of breath. I have tried to lead the army to cross the Fu River before, but there is no other place except the Ilon Ferry.

We can cross the river."

"Then this Fuhe River can be described as a natural danger," Enli interjected at this time, "As long as the Illun Ferry is guarded, then this Fuhe River will be an excellent line of defense."

"That's it. Allen will never give up this excellent natural danger. He will definitely station all the main forces at Elon Ferry and defeat us with the advantage of the geographical location. Therefore, tonight's military meeting is mainly to study how to defeat us.

The garrison at the ford of Iron."

"Hmph, coach, I think if Allen really chooses to fight our army at the Ilon Ferry, it will be a great thing for our army!" The commander of the 3rd Army said while raising his own

of two fists.

"In this battle, there are only two biggest threats to our army from the enemy! One is Alan Jones, who serves as the commander-in-chief!" After saying this, the commander of the 3rd Army shook his right fist.

"And the other one is the 4,000 armored holy cavalry that Allen brought from the Frank Empire!" The commander of the 3rd Army shook his left fist again.

"If Allen really chooses to set up defenses at the Illun Ferry and take advantage of the convenient location to engage in a decisive battle with our army, then the role of his 4,000 armored holy cavalry will be greatly weakened!" After that, the commander of the 3rd Army, Meng Meng,

He released his left fist.

"But, will Allen not choose to defend the Iron Ferry, but choose to stand guard outside Heron City, and then engage in field battles with our army?" The commander of the 6th Army said, "As long as it is a field battle, then his 4,000 iron armor

The Holy Cavalry can play a huge role."

"No." Nicholas shook his head, "It is impossible for Allen to give up this excellent natural danger, and Allen should also know that even if he now has 4,000 armored paladins, he will not be able to fight with our army in the field.

He will definitely be at a disadvantage! The 80,000 soldiers he has now are not the elite troops of the Frank Empire, but the weak soldiers of the small Carolingian Kingdom. And the 100,000 troops we have here are the most elite.

Soldiers of the Gabriel Knights! Use 80,000 weak soldiers to fight against 100,000 elite divisions. Even if Allen has 4,000 armored holy cavalry, he would not dare to do such a risky thing! So he will definitely place the decisive battle

Choosing the Illun Ferry to take advantage of the convenient location can eliminate the weakness in quantity and quality of soldiers."

"Then, I don't think there is anything to discuss about how to fight the Battle of Illun Ferry." Enli showed a confident smile at this time, "The quantity and quality of our army are superior to the enemy's, so we only need to attack head-on.

That’s it!”

Having said that, Enli poked the map at the location marking the Ilon Ferry, and then continued:

"Although Allen is powerful, what tricks can he do in the cross-river battle? So we just need to mobilize the ships and attack fiercely! How can the 80,000 weak soldiers of the Carolingian Kingdom stop our 100,000 soldiers?

Heroic soldiers!"

…

At the same time, I was lying by the river.

A cavalry squad consisting of a dozen people was walking upstream along the Fu River.

Neither the river bank nor the path could be seen clearly. Looking towards the other bank, the other bank was completely submerged in darkness. The black water reflected stars one after another. They were trembling and broken under the influence of the current.

"Phew, it's so cold."

Er complained about the cold night wind, tightened the cloak around his body, and then looked helplessly at Allen walking in front of him.

During the day today, Allen led him and a dozen cavalrymen to the Fu River, and then walked upstream along the Fu River, saying he wanted to see something.

Er still doesn't know what Allen wants to see, but he has no choice but to follow Allen obediently.

Allen leaned against Fuhe, riding his horse and walking slowly. He held an oil lamp in his hand and stretched the oil lamp down to illuminate the surface of Fuhe below.

In order to allow Allen to see Fuhe clearly, Er and the dozen cavalrymen who followed him also stretched their oil lamps down to illuminate the surface of Fuhe brighter, so that Allen could see more clearly.

clear.

The group of people held up their lamps to shine on the river and rode their horses slowly towards the upper reaches of the Fu River. They had been walking for an unknown amount of time.

Just as Er yawned again out of boredom, Allen, who was walking at the front, suddenly reined in his horse and stopped!

His eyes were fixed on Fuhe below.

"General Allen, what's wrong?" Er asked.

However, Allen did not pay attention to Er, but got off his horse, walked to the Fuhe River, then squatted down and reached out to Fuhe River.

After putting his hand into Fuhe, after a while, Allen suddenly let out a series of laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Er, who was confused by Allen's sudden laughter, asked again: "General Allen, what's wrong?"

Allen stood up and pulled his hand out of the river.

"Er, did you know?" Allen suddenly said, "When leading troops in combat, one very important point is to observe the terrain. However, another very important point is to pay attention to the seasons, because with the different seasons, some

The terrain conditions will be different.”

After saying that, Allen waved to Er.

"Er, come here. Come and take a look at the river here."

Although he felt confused about what Allen just said, Er still got off his horse obediently, walked to Allen, and then, like Allen just now, he squatted down and stretched his hand into the river.

After putting his hand into Fuhe, Er's pupils shrank suddenly, then he raised his head and looked at Allen, and said in surprise:

"General Allen, this..."

Allen nodded, with a smile on his face full of grooves, and said:
Chapter completed!
