A charge horn rang through the earth.

The first army, the Sixth Army and the tenth army, which were waiting for battle, immediately began to attack and charge after hearing the charge signal!

The third army, which had been retreating, stopped retreating and turned to the Allen army on the West Bank of the Victoria River!

The disabled soldiers of the 7th army continued to stay in the rear and stood still.

Before the war, Su Cheng made a detailed operational deployment:

Su Cheng personally led the third army to attack the East Bank of the Weihe River, lured Allen to lead the attack, and led Allen and his pursuit troops to the West Bank of the Weihe River.

After the Allen army was led to the West Bank of the Weihe River, Su Cheng would raise yellow wolf smoke and inform Eliza, who was guarding the upper reaches of the Weihe River, to destroy the "dam" and release water.

After the "dam" is destroyed, the water stored for many days will make the water level in the downstream soar, completely cutting off the retreat of the enemy landing on the West Bank of the Shangwei river.

Then Su Cheng would order the charge to be sounded.

After the bugle of charge sounded, the 1st, 6th and 10th armies, which had been in full readiness, would start charging and encircling the enemy on the West Bank of the Victoria River.

Because Eliza, the commander of the 10th army, was responsible for guarding and managing the "dam" in the upper reaches of the Weihe River, Su Cheng handed over the command of the 10th army to the deputy commander of the 1st army.

Su Cheng also made detailed arrangements for the attack direction of each army.

The 1st army attacked from the left flank, the 6th army attacked from the front, and the 10th army attacked from the right flank.

The third army, which is responsible for retreating and luring the enemy, should also stop retreating after hearing the charge horn and attack the enemy from the front together with the Sixth Army.

Nearly 80000 people from the fourth army attacked the enemy in three directions!

The purpose is to thoroughly wipe out the enemy who landed on the West Bank of the Victoria River and whose retreat was cut off!

Half a month before the army set out, Su Cheng studied the information about Allen every day.

After months of painstaking research, Su Cheng found that Allen was very good at commanding cavalry warfare and liked to lead the cavalry charge in person.

It is precisely because of Allen's personality of personally leading the army and charging, as well as his brave posture of extraordinary force, that he has been nicknamed "steel bone".

Therefore, when Su Cheng formulated the "Victoria River annihilation war", he guessed that Allen would have a great probability to personally lead the armored holy cavalry to pursue the bait he laid.

Now, just as Su Cheng guessed, Alan really took the iron Armored Cavalry to chase the bait he laid, just as Su Cheng guessed.

Now Allen remains on the West Bank of the river Victoria with his armored paladins and the 20000 Carolingian troops who landed.

The smooth development of the war made Su Cheng's mouth turn slightly.

Su Cheng, who was riding on a horse and standing on a high stone, looked at the Allen army, even surrounded by 80000 troops, and said with a faint smile:

"You lost, 'Steel' Alan Jones..."

……

The incessant enemy charge.

A dark enemy approaching from three directions.

The rising water behind him cut off his retreat.

Everything was deeply stimulating Allen's nerves.

Also stimulating Allen's nerves were the cries of the armored paladins behind him——

"Coach! What should I do? The enemy is coming! "

"Coach! Coach! "

"Coach Allen! Let's retreat! "

"Fool! How?! Tell me how to withdraw from the view of Weihe River now?! Coach! Don't listen to them! Let's go straight ahead! If you break through, you will be saved! "

"Coach!"

"Coach!!"

……

In addition to the shouts of the armored paladins, there was also the scream of the 20000 Carolingian troops who also landed on the West Bank of the Victoria River——

"Ah ah! It's over!! I can't go back!!! "

"What should I do? What should I do? "

"Where's coach Allen?!"

"Coach Allen! Help us! "

"The rear road is cut off, and there is a large army ahead to encircle and suppress! We're dead! "

"You cowards! There's nothing to be afraid of! Get up! Pick up the gun! "

"Our troops are still on the East Bank of the Victoria River! How can we defeat so many enemy troops on the west bank with only us! Don't forget that there are nearly 90000 britannians on the West Bank now! Only 20000 people have landed on the West Bank! 20000 to 90000, how can you win?! "

……

The anxious color on ER's face became more and more intense.

It was the first time he had seen Alan behave like this.

At this time, Allen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was as white as a piece of white paper, his lips were slightly open, and he looked dull.

Looking at Alan as if he had been silly, Earl bit his teeth, grabbed Alan's shoulders in a hurry, and then shook Alan violently.

"General Allen! Wake up! If even you give up! Then we're really screwed! Please be sure to calm down quickly!! Please wake up quickly!!! "

Under the violent shaking of earl, Allen's dull and godless eyes gradually recovered.

"Yes..." Alan murmured in a low voice, "if I give up... I will really be defeated..."

With that, Allen's eyes glowed again.

Fighting spirit burned again in Allen's eyes.

Alan waved his big hand and patted off the hand that Earl grabbed his shoulders.

"Thank you, er. I'm fine. "

Alan whispered his thanks to earl, his right hand looked at his left waist and pulled out his sword.

After pulling out his sword, Allen put the blade close to his left arm and then made a gentle stroke.

The sharp blade cut the skin, and the bright red blood beads trickled down the wound one by one.

The pain from his left arm stimulated Allen's brain.

Under the stimulation of the pain, Allen felt that his brain had recovered a little calm, and the pain also suppressed the confusion and fear in his heart.

Alan shouted to himself:

Calm down and think about countermeasures, Alan Jones!

The British army did not know what means it had used to make a large amount of water gush out of the upper reaches of the Victoria River, which made the water level of the Victoria River rise sharply.

That is, the retreat has been cut off. Don't want to go back to the east bank until the water level drops.

Retreat - it's no longer feasible.

The more than 50000 people on the East Bank of the Victoria River could not come to support us because of the rising water level.

Waiting for support - it's not feasible.

In other words, I have only 3400 armored paladins and 20000 Carolingian troops who landed together.

The 20000 Carolingian troops - can't be used anymore.

The sudden flood not only cut off our retreat, but also hurt our morale. Now the 20000 Carolingian army has been flustered, morale has fallen sharply and is on the verge of collapse. Collapsed army - there is no way to command.

Only 3400 elite armored paladins can be used now. Although the morale of armored paladins has also been affected due to the flood, they are worthy of being the elite troops proud of our Frankish empire! Although morale was affected, it did not collapse like the 20000 Carolingian army!

OK! As long as the armored paladins can listen to my command well, they still have a chance to break the current bad situation!

When only heavy cavalry is available, there is only one way to make

……

After thinking about the countermeasures, Allen raised his axe and gun. Then he shouted:

"You of the armored paladins!!"

After hearing Allen's voice, the armored paladins stopped shouting and quarreling, and obediently moved their eyes to Allen.

Allen continued to shout, "the situation is worse than ever! We may all have to explain here! "

"But!"

Alan's conversation turned.

"Will you trust me!!"

"Would you like to believe that I can take you back?"

"Now we have only one way to do it! That is to charge the enemy in front! Break through with brute force! "

"I know this method is messy, but now it's the only way! We only have more than 3000 people, but we have to break through the encirclement and suppression of nearly 100000 troops. Therefore, the probability of success is very slim! "

"But! It's better than sitting here waiting to die! "

"Of course! You can also choose to dismount and kneel on the ground now! In this way, the britannians may look at you and spare you! "

"Choose whichever you want! But let me say first - I, Alan Jones, will never just wait to die! I will try my best to fight with the enemy until the last moment!! I want to charge! Even if my horse falls! I also want to charge with my legs!! Use the sword in my hand to cut a way to live!!! "

"And you?! You of the armored paladins! Which one do you want?! Are you going to charge with me and find a way out? Or do you have to kneel on the ground and beg for surrender? "

As soon as Allen's voice fell, there was a sneer among the armored paladins——

"Hum, what are you talking about, commander Allen. Of course, I chose to fight side by side with you until the last minute!! "

After this cry fell, the rest of the cry rang out in the queue of armored paladins one after another——

"I don't want to beg the wild dogs of the British Empire!"

"Kill! Kill!! "

"Coach Allen! Take us to the charge! I am the armored paladin of the Frankish empire! Even if you die, you should die on the back of a war horse in charge! "

"Coach! Come out with us! "

"I am a glorious Frankish! Will not surrender to the dogs of the British Empire! "

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "

……

Alan's short speech just now greatly improved the morale of the armored paladins. Now the armored paladins are waving their weapons and their fighting intention is boiling!

No one chose to dismount and beg for surrender to the British Empire.

Looking at the armored paladins with boiling war and rising morale, Allen's mouth tilted slightly and showed a gratifying smile.

Then Allen turned his eyes to the forehead beside him.

"Er, what about you? Would you like to fight with me until the last minute? Would you like to fight with me for that slim chance of life? "

Hearing Alan's question, Earl chuckled a few times.

"Are you kidding? General Allen. "

Er raised his long gun as he spoke, his eyes full of determination.

"I will always be with you and fight with you until the last minute."

"... thank you, er."

Allen turned his head back and looked straight at the British Imperial Army approaching them in three directions.

Clenched the axe and gun in his hand, and then knocked the horse's belly!

"Armored paladins! Charge! "

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
