After a morning's journey, the 5000 Crusaders in Britannia are now repairing and having lunch. Every soldier is silently solving the food in the bowl.

Coach camp.

"There are three leaders of the rebel army, namely Anton, Abel and Abbott. They are now divided into three armies, and each of them leads the way. Anton is the most powerful and prestigious of the three, so he commands the most troops. He leads 15000 people. His current position should be here. "

After the captain of the thousand people team said that, he stretched out his finger and touched it somewhere on the map on the table.

Su Cheng looked at the position pointed by the team leader and nodded.

"Well, go on."

"Abel leads 10000 people. His position is probably here."

"Yes."

"The number of people led by Abbott is the least, a total of 5000. His position is probably here."

"Yes."

Su Cheng looked thoughtfully at the map in front of him and said:

"Judging from the march route of their three-way army, their goal is Cordoba."

"My subordinates think so." The captain of the team said, "Cordoba has a large amount of materials and a small number of soldiers. It is the most appropriate target."

Su Cheng nodded.

"Well, I understand the current information. Thank you for your explanation. You can go out first."

"Yes."

After the captain of the thousand people team went out, Su Cheng's originally straight waist immediately bent down. The cold color on his face dissipated and changed into a tired color.

"Ah... The armor is so heavy." Su Cheng twisted his neck. "I've been wearing it for more than a week, but I still can't get used to it."

Although Su Cheng is not even a soldier, he is now the commander-in-chief of an army, so his Majesty gave Su Cheng a suit of armor that only knights can wear.

It is a set of very handsome white and blue armor.

The armor of knights in this world is very different from that of knights in Europe. The shoulder armor of knights in this world is very large, and it is not that kind of "iron can" armor. There are many places on the body without armor protection.

The rank of soldiers in the British Empire is very simple and easy to remember.

The lowest of the British Empire's armies were ordinary soldiers. Up there was the captain of the team of ten, up there was the captain of the team of 100, then the captain of the team of 500, and up there was the captain of the team of 1000.

Above the captain of the thousand men team is the knight.

If you can be promoted from the captain of the thousand men team to the lowest Xingui Knight among the knights, it means that you have successfully stepped into the ranks of senior officers for a long time.

However, there are many people who are stuck in the process of Captain upgrading to knight, and have not been upgraded to Knight all their life.

Su Cheng now commands 5000 people, so there are five thousand team leaders. Just now, it was one of the five who explained the current information to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng originally thought that the five people who were promoted to the captain of thousands of teams by accumulating military achievements would be very unhappy. He was not even a soldier, but he could command them.

However, he was too worried. At present, the five thousand team captains did not express a bad feeling towards Su Cheng, but strictly followed the orders issued by Su Cheng.

Not only the five thousand team leaders, but also the 5000 soldiers at the bottom did not express a bad feeling towards Su Cheng, nor did they obey Su Cheng's orders.

Su Cheng ordered the whole army to set out immediately. Order the whole army to rest immediately.

It can be seen that the emperor did not casually throw 5000 unmanageable miscellaneous soldiers to Su Cheng, but handed over 5000 elite troops who would strictly abide by orders to Su Cheng.

At the thought of this, Su Cheng's pressure is even greater. Any minor mistake of his own is likely to lead to the annihilation of this elite force of 5000 people.

Moreover, although they were elite troops, the three waves of crusading troops sent before were also elite troops. These three waves of elite troops were still defeated when the number of troops was superior.

This time, the army led by Su Cheng not only had no advantage in number, but also was at a great disadvantage.

At the thought of this, Su Cheng's pressure is even greater.

"So, brother. Have you come up with a plan to break the enemy? " Alan, who had been standing behind Su Cheng just now, said in silence.

Su Cheng smiled bitterly.

"No, I can't think of anything."

"After all, we have to rely on 5000 people to fight 30000 people," Deng Jiaer frowned. "The force gap of 1:6 is not so simple to think of a solution."

Su Cheng also brought Alan and Deng Jiaer.

This time, Alan and Deng Jiaer participated in the battle as the knight and squire of Su Cheng.

Knight's retinue - that is, the knight's entourage.

Every Knight of the britannian empire can have two Knight attendants. When they go to the battlefield, they can take their own Knight attendants to the battlefield.

If the retinue has made contributions on the battlefield, he will still give military merit to the retinue. When the military merit has accumulated to a certain extent, the retinue can also officially change from a knight retinue to a knight.

Therefore, many people who dream of becoming a knight are eager to become a knight's escort, because being a knight's escort is easier to become a knight than being a small soldier.

Therefore, the knight's retinue can be regarded as a particularly popular profession. Whenever a knight wants to publicly recruit people to be his knight's retinue, the applicants are often counted in thousands. However, a knight can only have two retinues, so the competition can be said to be quite fierce.

When Alan and Deng Jiaer learned that Su Cheng was going to command 5000 people to subdue the 30000 rebel army, they had to follow him.

Alan said he wanted to protect Su Cheng, while Deng Jiaer, who dreamed of becoming a world-renowned general, said he wanted to experience this feeling in the army.

Su Cheng couldn't resist them, so he asked the emperor for instructions and asked if the emperor could be kind so that he could take them with him.

Emperor Ge zewen was also cheerful. Although Su Cheng was not a knight at all and was not qualified to have a knight's escort, GE zewen also made an exception to allow Alan and Deng Jiaer to go to the battlefield with Su Cheng as "Su Cheng's Knight's escort".

Alan sighed.

"Alas, brother, why did you take such a dangerous task? But now it's too late to say anything. Let's find a way to solve the 30000 rebels. However, I'm not good at anything except fighting. It's OK to let me fight 100 alone, but it's unlikely to let me fight 30000 alone... Huh? Brother? "

Alan noticed that his brother was suddenly stunned. He focused on the map on the table in front of him, and his eyes swept around the map.

Not only Su Cheng, but also Deng Jiaer was stunned at this time. She looked at the map in front of her with her eyes and talked, but Alan couldn't hear what she was saying.

Alan opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she closed it quickly, because her intuition told her that it was best not to disturb the two people now.

I don't know how long it took. Su Chengcai spoke out, but his eyes still didn't leave the map:

"Their three-way army is moving too fast... It seems to be in a hurry."

As soon as Su Cheng's voice fell, Deng Jiaer echoed without raising her head:

"Yes, they walked too fast."

Alan swallowed her saliva. She felt that Su Cheng and Deng Jia'er were emitting a strange aura. Alan didn't dare to make a sound at all. She could only quietly look at the two people who were still looking at the map.

After a while, Su Cheng moved the realization away from the map and raised his head. The tired color on his face had disappeared and hung a confident smile.

"I seem to have found a way to defeat the 30000 troops."

At this time, Deng Jia'er also raised his head, with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I seem to have come up with a way to defeat them. I don't know whether it's right or not. It's different from the way you came up with, sir."
