Chapter 235 (1/2)

”Commander in chief, we are in the barracks!” Outside the carriage came the voice of the coachman, ”the generals of the East Road army have come out to meet!”

”Well, I see.”

Sitting in the carriage, Su Cheng, with some fatigue on his face, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then handed the large stack of paper in his hand to Deng Jia'er next to him.

”Deng Jiaer, keep it for me.”

”Well, well.”

After handing over the stack of war reports and intelligence to Deng Jia'er, Su Cheng took the knight's sword aside, hung it back to his left waist, and directly pushed open the door of the carriage.

After Su Cheng got out of the carriage, Willie quickly sorted out his armor, put on his knight's sword, and then followed Su Cheng out of the car.

After Willie followed Su Cheng out of the car, Alan and Deng Jiaer got out of the car one after another.

After getting off the carriage, Su Cheng first saw the dark sky.

It's already more than 18:00 in the evening. Although it's summer and the sun goes down a lot later, it's still a little dark at this time.

Just as Su Cheng focused his attention on the slightly dark sky overhead——

”See the coach!”

——A chorus of shouts came from the front of the carriage.

After hearing this loud drink, Su Cheng felt that his whole person was more energetic, and the tired color in his eyes dissipated a little.

Then Su Cheng followed the high drink composed of the voices of more than ten people and looked at the front of the carriage.

I saw more than ten people standing neatly in front of the carriage.

Su Cheng counted 12 people in total.

The 12 men, without exception, were all dressed in neat armor and performed standard military salutes in the direction of the carriage.

No, to be exact, they were all saluting Su Cheng who had just got out of the carriage.

Looking at the first two of the 12 people, Su Cheng secretly said:

The two people standing in the front should be the commanders of the 4th and 8th armies of the Rachel knights.

The 150000 troops carrying out the ”summer wind” offensive were divided into three armies: the West Route Army, the Middle Route Army and the East Route Army.

These three armies have different tasks. As the main force, the Middle Route Army is responsible for the main attack, going straight to the city of Richie, the important town of the Lorraine Empire, attracting the main force of the Lorraine Empire to rescue, and then fighting the main force of the Lorraine empire in the field.

Therefore, as the main attacking Middle Route Army, it has the heaviest task and the strongest military strength, with a total of 60000 people.

The West Route Army, on the other hand, is responsible for carrying out auxiliary attacks and closely cooperating with the Middle Route Army. In the decisive battle between the Middle Route Army and the main force of the enemy, it unexpectedly launches an attack, cuts off the rear path of the main force of the enemy, and then attacks the enemy together with the Middle Route Army.

The task of the Western Route Army is not easy. Therefore, the Western Route Army is the second most powerful, with a full 50000 people.

According to the original plan, the Western Route Army should have only 50000 people, but his majesty gozewen planned to take advantage of this offensive to see the combat effectiveness of the 3000 armored Ruis trained by Allen, so he asked Allen to take the 3000 armored Ruis to the Western Route Army.

Therefore, the total strength of the West Route Army is somewhat different from the original plan. Now the total strength of the West Route Army is 53000, and the total strength of the three armies has changed from 150000 to 153000.

Although the number of troops is somewhat different from the original plan, the difference is not large.

The task of the East Route Army, that is, the route army commanded by Su Cheng, is not as important and difficult as the other two route armies.

The task of the Eastern Route Army is to feint.

In short, it is just to attract as many enemy forces as possible to share the pressure of the other two route armies.

”As long as we can contain enough enemy forces, it doesn't matter if the whole army doesn't shoot an arrow or kill a person.”

——This is what the top leaders of the Empire said to Su Cheng before the expedition.

So when he was on the way to the southern frontier of the Empire, Su Cheng and Wiley and Alan make complaints about them:

”The task assigned to me by the Empire, in simple words, is to let me take the East Road to the territory of the Lorraine empire for an armed parade.”

Because the task is the easiest and least important, the Eastern Route Army has the least troops, only 40000.

The establishment of the three Knights of the British Empire is the same. They are all composed of ”armies”, with 20000 people in each army.
