July 16, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

7:05 a.m.

The southern front, the British army, the Middle Route Army camp.

Not long after the sun had just risen, the whole camp of the Middle Route Army began to operate quickly.

At the end of the banquet last night, Albert gave orders to all the Knights of the Middle Route Army to pull out and March as soon as the sun rises tomorrow! The remnant army chasing Barr!

Eliza held the Golden Knight sword hanging on her left waist and silently looked at the army tents that were put away one after another, the war horses that were pulled out one after another, and the soldiers who were nervously assembled one after another.

Hai rou'er, as Eliza's Knight and squire, naturally stood obediently behind Eliza.

"Miss Eliza." Hai rou'er said in a voice, "I feel that our middle road army is going to start a decisive battle..."

"Ah, yes." Eliza said with a bitter smile, "we are going to march to pursue the main remnant of Barr now. In these days, we will start a decisive battle on our side."

Speaking of this, Eliza paused, then turned her head, looked east, and said:

"I don't know how the other two route armies are now..."

Meanwhile, Hai rou'er sighed and then said:

"I don't know if this coming decisive battle is going well..."

"You don't have to worry about that, Herr." Eliza smiled. "Barr and Mr. Albert are old rivals, too."

"It is said that the two of them can't play more than ten games, but this Barr has hardly won Mr. Albert."

"Therefore, Mr. Albert, who can use troops far above this bar, will be able to defeat that bar as before!"

……

Just as the Middle Route Army was nervously preparing for the March.

Somewhere forty miles southwest of the Middle Route Army camp.

A scout wearing light armor and riding a war horse was galloping on the vast plain.

Soon, within his field of vision, a large fortification made of wood appeared.

Seeing this large fortification made of wood, the soldier's face showed a happy look.

——Because he knew that the army's camp was coming, this large piece of wooden defense equipment was a fortification built outside the camp to resist the enemy's attack.

After seeing this large wooden fortification, the Scout swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, which was almost bleeding. Then he waved the reins again to make the horses under his crotch run faster, driving the war horses under his crotch to rush towards this large wooden fortification.

Just as the scout was about to arrive at this large fortification, a large number of soldiers with top helmets poured out from all around.

Some of these soldiers have long guns and some have bows and crossbows.

The soldiers who poured out from all around quickly surrounded the soldier.

The soldier with a long gun stood in front, pointing at the scout on the horse, while the soldier with a bow and crossbow stood behind the Spearman, and the sharp and cold arrows on the bow and crossbow aimed at the scout and the horse under the crotch of the Scout.

After seeing the soldiers suddenly pouring out from all around, the Scout immediately obediently stopped and let the soldiers with all kinds of weapons surround them.

The Scout knew that these soldiers were responsible for guarding the periphery of the camp.

If you act rashly or do something that makes them suspect that you are the enemy, these soldiers will not hesitate to poke you through holes with their long guns and shoot you into a wasp's nest with their arrows.

Therefore, after seeing the soldiers coming from all around, the herald obediently stopped and let them surround him.

When the soldiers surrounded him, before the hostages of the soldiers asked him for his identity, he shouted in a very standard Lorraine language:

"I'm the Scout responsible for reconnoitering the movements of the Route Army in the British Army! I have important military information to report to commander Barr! This is my identification! "

……

After showing his identity certificate to the soldiers guarding the camp and proving that he was indeed a scout of the Luo Lin army, the scout was finally released and brought into the camp, and then directly led to the camp of the commander of the whole army, bar de Lu.

After entering the commander's camp, the Scout saw Barr, who was nearly 70 but still in high spirits, sitting behind a long table. It seemed that he was dealing with military affairs.

After entering the commander's camp and seeing commander Barr, the Scout immediately saluted Barr and shouted:

"See the coach! Coach! Important information about the Route Army in the British army has been found... "

Before the Scout had finished speaking, Barr raised his hand and motioned him not to speak.

After Barr's gesture to stop talking, the scout was surprised, but he kept his mouth shut.

After the Scout closed his mouth, Barr said:

"Intelligence or something. Don't worry. You look thirsty. Drink some water first."

After that, Barr took a glass full of water from the table and handed it to the Scout.

"Drink it. Let's finish it."

"Ah! Thank you, coach! "

His throat was as dry as a bleeding scout. He quickly and respectfully took the water cup handed by Barr, and then drank up the water in the cup three or two times.

"Feel better? Then tell me the new information. "

"Yes!"

After drinking the water in the cup, the Scout wiped the remaining drops on his lips, and then said in a loud voice:

"Just yesterday evening, it was detected that the large force of the middle road army had joined the vanguard force!"

"Oh?"

Barr, who had been expressionless since the beginning, couldn't help raising his eyebrows after hearing the information.

"... I see. Go down and have a rest first."

"Yes!"

After another respectful salute to Barr, the Scout quickly walked out of the camp.

After the scouts came out of the camp, Barr was the only one left in the commander's camp.

"Have the large units of the Middle Route Army joined up with the vanguard Army..." Barr said to himself, "then Albert, he will soon fall and rush towards me with 60000 Middle Route Army..."

"It seems that the first stage of my battle plan has been successfully completed... It's time to start the second stage..."

At the end of his whispered self-talk, Barr raised his head and shouted to the guards outside the camp tent:

"Guard! Help me summon all the senior generals! Let them come to the coach's camp immediately! I want to hold an important battle Conference! "

"Yes!!"

……

meanwhile.

The southern front, the British army, the East Route Army camp.

In the camp of the Middle Route Army, when it was working nervously and preparing for the advance of the whole army, the East Route Army was also against the usual calm.

Different from the tense operation of the whole military camp of the Middle Route Army, the East Route Army only has the cavalry camp, which is very lively.

The people who checked and prepared grain and grass, the people who checked war horses and the people who checked weapons and armor walked nervously in the cavalry camp of the East Road army.

Each of the 5000 cavalry of the East Route Army looked solemn and carefully checked their armor and weapons.

As early as last night, they received a combat mission: tomorrow night, that is, tonight, all the cavalry troops will go south!

What is the specific battle plan? Naturally, ordinary soldiers like them don't know. However, it doesn't matter whether they know the specific battle plan or not. For them, they just have to listen to their officers' orders and try to kill the enemy.

As the deputy commander of the East Route Army, Willie was standing in the cavalry camp at this time, directing the soldiers to check grain, grass and horses, and prepare the cavalry to March south.

Just as Willie was nervously directing the soldiers to carry out various inspections and preparations, a familiar voice suddenly came behind him:

"Vice Marshal Willie!"

Willie turned his head and found that it was the commander of the 8th Army of their East Route Army.

Because of their small scale, their East Route Army has only 40000 people, which is composed of the 4th and 8th armies of the Rachel knights.

Because of their small scale, there are not many senior generals on the East Route Army. They can be regarded as senior generals and can participate in senior military meetings. Only Su Cheng, as the commander, enli, as the deputy commander, and the commanders and Deputy commanders of the fourth and eighth armies.

After seeing the commander of the 8th Army, Willie smiled politely and said:

"It's the commander of the 8th Army. I'm sorry. I'm very busy now. If you have anything to do, please come to me later when I'm finished."

"Vice Marshal Willie..." the commander of the 8th Army said in a deep voice, "is the commander serious about his battle plan..."

The commander of the 8th Army looked around and determined that there was no one around, so he leaned forward, lowered the voice line and whispered at a volume that only himself and Willie could hear:

"The commander-in-chief really plans to hand over 5000 cavalry to his knight's retinue, and let his knight's retinue take the 5000 cavalry to defeat the 60000 Rowling army in the south? Isn't such a battle plan nonsense? "

Compared with ordinary soldiers who know nothing about the battle plan, the commander of the 8th Army and senior generals like Willie naturally know the battle plan to be implemented by the cavalry tonight and what kind of plan it is.

After hearing the dissatisfied question from the commander of the 8th Army, Willie smiled bitterly and then said:

"Commander of the 8th Army, since the end of last year, I have been following the commander and fighting side by side with him."

"I trust the manager very much, so I also believe in the manager's vision and judgment."

"Since the commander-in-chief is so relieved to hand over 5000 cavalry to his knight's retinue, it shows that the commander-in-chief must believe that his knight's retinue can absolutely complete this combat task!"

"I believe in the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief believes in his knight's retinue, so I am willing to believe that the knight's retinue of the commander-in-chief can create miracles! Only 5000 cavalry will wipe out 60000 Lorraine troops in the south! "

After that, Willie stopped talking to the commander of the 8th Army, slightly sidestepped around the commander of the 8th Army, and then continued to command the soldiers and carry out various inspections and preparations for the 5000 cavalry team to send troops south.
