Chapter 363

August 11, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

At 20:11 p.m. on the 12th day of the Feihai battle.

Fei Hai Plain, Britannia army camp.

Eliza and Hai rouer, who looked very ugly, walked in the camp one after another.

While walking slowly, they were also looking around and observing the soldiers around.

The soldiers in the camp were visibly depressed.

It's still time for dinner. Many soldiers sat in every corner with a tired and lost face and drank the hot porridge in the bowl in silence.

Looking at the soldiers who were visibly depressed around, Eliza's already ugly face became even more ugly.

"Miss Eliza..." Hai rou'er, who was behind Eliza, summoned up her courage and said, "your injury... Doesn't matter?"

In today's battle, we can also see that the current British army is not the opponent of the Rowling army whose morale has exploded. We must retreat and reorganize the formation, otherwise they will be defeated by the Rowling army!

Seeing that the whole army urgently needed to retreat, Eliza took the initiative to ask for cover.

Albert was not vague about Eliza's request and directly sent it to Eliza's 20000 army, which also included the most elite armored men. Albert asked Eliza to lead the 20000 army to be responsible for breaking up and covering the retreat of the army.

Under the desperate fighting of Eliza and her 20000 troops, she finally succeeded in covering the troops to retreat to a safe area 10 miles away to the northeast.

However, despite the successful completion of the cover mission, the 20000 rear troops under Eliza also suffered heavy casualties. Under the fierce attack of the Luo Lin army, only 10000 people came back alive.

Eliza, who was already injured, had several more injuries when she came back from the post break task.

Hearing Hai rou'er's concern, Eliza smiled and said softly:

"I'm fine. It's just some minor injuries. Don't worry. Instead of caring about my injuries, it's better to care about the current situation of our troops..."

Speaking of this, Eliza couldn't help sighing sadly.

As soon as Eliza's voice fell, Hai rouer said in a lost tone:

"Today's World War I destroyed the morale of our troops..."

In World War I today, the British army was not only defeated by the Rowling army whose morale broke out for a full 10 miles, but also demoralized by the Rowling army.

Many soldiers have not recovered from the panic. After all, the momentum of today's Luo Lin army is really terrible, not to mention these ordinary soldiers. Even Eliza, who has experienced many battles, has never seen such a terrible momentum as today's Luo Lin army before.

"The most troublesome thing for us now is not just the loss of morale." Eliza said in a deep voice, "in addition to the loss of morale, the most troublesome place for us now is military food..."

Speaking of this, Eliza couldn't help but look sad on her face.

Today's retreat is too hasty, so it is inevitable that a lot of luggage has been missed.

Originally, according to their plan, their military rations could last until August 15, but now when they can last under the condition of missing a lot of military rations, I really don't know

While Eliza and Herr were talking there, they had unconsciously come to the front of the coach camp.

"Hai rou'er, wait for me outside the tent."

After leaving this sentence, Eliza went straight to the camp.

After lifting the curtain, Eliza saw that the long table in the middle of the camp was full of people.

The two people sitting at the head of the long table were Albert and Allen.

Albert, Allen, and the other knights sitting at the long table were all pale at this time.

At this time, there was an emergency meeting that only high-ranking knights in the army could participate in, so the two sides of the long table were just enough for all high-ranking knights in the army to take place.

The reason why this meeting is urgently held is to calculate how long the current military grain will be enough and to discuss the next countermeasures.

The reason why Eliza went to the camp just now and walked around the camp with Herr was that she was ordered by Albert to observe the morale and mood of the soldiers.

Just after Eliza entered the camp, Albert asked Eliza:

"How is the mood and morale of the soldiers?"

"Very bad."

As soon as Albert's voice fell, Eliza answered directly.

Eliza walked slowly to her position, pulled back her chair, sat down, and then said:

"As we expected, the morale of the whole army has been completely destroyed in the first world war today. To be honest, if our army is still in this state and the morale of the Luo Lin army is still as terrible as today, this Fei Hai battle - we are doomed. "

"Yes..." Albert, whose face seemed to be haggard, murmured with a bitter smile.

"So -" this time it's Eliza's turn to ask Albert, "how much military food do we still have? When will it be enough for our whole army? "

Eliza is now eager to know when there will be enough military food for the whole army after missing a large amount of military food today.

After hearing Eliza's question, everyone in the account, including Albert, remained silent.

After a while, Albert sighed, and then whispered:

"... we have just calculated according to the remaining military grain. The current military grain is only enough for us... On the morning of August 13... That is to say, after breakfast on August 13, we will run out of food..."

Although she had already made psychological preparations, after hearing Albert's words, Eliza's face turned white.

"Well, how long can we last if we save food and only give a minimum amount of food for each meal?" Eliza hurriedly asked.

"What I just said is the result when only the minimum amount of food is allocated to each meal." Albert spoke the cruel truth in a plain tone.

"How could..." Eliza leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair behind her. "That is to say, even if each meal is only given a minimum amount of food, it will only be enough for us to last until the morning after tomorrow?"

No one answered Eliza.

Everyone was bowed and silent.

But keeping silent is an answer to Eliza.

"... withdraw your troops." Alan, who had just been holding his arms without making a sound, said in a deep voice, "we have no chance of winning this Fei Hai battle. The morale of the whole army is low and the military food is about to run out. Under such circumstances, we have no chance to win the Fei Hai battle. Although we are very unwilling, this is the fact."

As soon as Allen's words fell, many knights in the camp nodded silently.

Many Knights also keep the same idea as Allen. They think there is no chance of winning the Fei sea battle. It's better to withdraw troops and return home while the current military food is not exhausted.

However, just as Allen had finished his proposition, Eliza, who had just lost her mind, suddenly said;

"... no, we still have a chance of winning this Fei Hai battle."

"Odds?" Alan frowned at Eliza. "I don't know what you mean by the odds, deputy marshal Eliza? In this situation, what chance can we win? "

As soon as Allen had finished, Eliza shouted:

"Yes!"

With this cry, Eliza looked up.

Eliza's face was full of firmness.

"We still have the East Route Army! We still have Su Cheng! "

——And shouted like this.

Eliza's cry seemed to wake up many people.

Many knights in the tent, including Albert himself, once heard Eliza's cry, their dim eyes glowed a little.

"Deputy marshal Eliza..." Alan continued to frown. "I also know that Su Cheng and his troops are here on the southern front, but can you guarantee that Su Cheng can arrive before our military supplies run out?"

"Our current military food is only enough for us to use the morning of August 13! It will take Su Cheng's East army five days to get to our Feihai plain. "

"In other words, Su Cheng must capture mayin city before August 8, so that he can catch up before we run out of military food!"

"Do you think Su Cheng has the ability to attack and capture mayin city in such a short time?!"

Allen's words made the knight whose eyes had been glowing a little again, and his eyes became dark again.

Alan, he's right. Time is too tight. They don't believe Su Cheng that he can capture mayin city in such a short time, and then come before the whole army of their joint forces runs out of grain.

Even Eliza's face sank after hearing Alan's big words.

However, Eliza's mind at this time reappeared all kinds of scenes when she fought side by side with Su Cheng at the end of last year.

When the commander-in-chief was killed and the whole army did not know where to go, Su Cheng resolutely stepped forward to take over the position of commander-in-chief of the whole army.

Lying in front of the battle map, thinking about strategies, Su Cheng didn't even notice the approach of others.

The plan of "storing water to intercept the enemy" was formulated and successfully implemented, leading them to win the war of annihilation of the Victoria River.

……

These images flashed through Eliza's mind.

Finally, the image fixed in Eliza's mind is Su Cheng's figure, which, although somewhat thin, unexpectedly seems to be able to lean on it with great confidence.

"I... believe Su Cheng!"

Eliza's face was firm again.

"I'm sure Su Cheng will come! You will come and save us! I believe him!! "
