Chapter 304

It's already July. In terms of weather, it's rainy season.

It is located in the rollin Empire, which is the southernmost of the four empires. In the rainy season, it will not clear up all day.

However, since the British Empire officially launched the "summer wind" offensive in early July, it has been sunny every day in any battlefield in the East, middle and West.

In his spare time, Albert also joked with others: it may be that the gods are paying attention to their Britannia Empire and have been sunny, so that they can better launch the offensive of the Britannia Empire.

However, this continuous sunny day was finally interrupted today, that is, in the evening of July 20, 290 of the British Imperial calendar.

The previously clear sky has been covered by dark clouds unconsciously.

Just looking at it, we all feel that the oppressive dark clouds separate the sky from the earth.

Then rain drops fell, connecting the sky and the earth.

The first rain since the "summer wind" offensive was officially launched finally fell in the evening of that day.

Continuous rain fell from the sky, on the dry earth, on the green vegetation, and on the remnant of the Route Army in the demoralized British army.

The ragged war robes and broken armor stained with blood, sweat and sludge, the Broken Arrows inserted in the back, shoulders, arms and other places, and the anxious expression on the tired and haggard faces.

All this is announcing the identity of the Route Army in the British Army - a defeated army on the run.

Despite the successful withdrawal from the sola mountains a few hours ago, the Middle Route Army also suffered heavy casualties.

Before the expedition, the Middle Route Army, with a mighty force of 60000, had only more than 28000 people, less than half of the original number, after the battle of sola a few hours ago.

The Middle Route Army - can be declared disabled.

Eliza is riding on the same horse with Hai rou'er now. Eliza sits behind Hai rou'er and leans her small head against her back, sleeping and unconscious.

In the battle of sola a few hours ago, Eliza worked so hard that she was exhausted in order to open the retreat of the whole army as soon as possible.

After the whole army successfully evacuated from the sola mountains, Eliza, whose nervous tension relaxed suddenly, immediately fainted because of her physical overdraft.

The military doctors immediately gave Eliza emergency treatment.

Fortunately, Eliza is only a little injured in some parts of her body, and her physical strength is overdrawn. There is no big problem. She just needs to rest and recuperate.

In order to withdraw from the sola mountains as soon as possible, Albert ordered to discard all the baggage and articles that were not easy to carry.

For example - carriage.

When they withdrew from the sola mountains, all the carriages carried by the Middle Route Army were discarded.

Therefore, there is no place for Eliza to lie down and rest. She can only sit on the horse and sleep against Herr.

In addition to losing all the carriages, many baggage were also discarded.

In addition to grain, spare arrows, swords and guns, there are many raincoats.

Because the raincoat was thrown away in 7788, after the heavy rain, there were less than 10000 raincoats left in the whole army.

In other words, less than 10000 people in the whole army can be assigned raincoats to take shelter from the rain.

Finally, all the remaining raincoats were distributed to those who were seriously injured, so that their wounds could be stained with rain, so as not to trigger infection.

As for those soldiers who are not injured or less injured, they can only be wronged to be a drowned chicken.

After it rained just now, Herr put on Eliza's raincoat in time to prevent Eliza from being caught by the rain.

In the sola battle just now, Hai rouer didn't go to the front line to fight with the enemy like Eliza, so she wasn't hurt like Eliza, so she didn't get a raincoat.

Hai rou'er has no complaints about this, because compared with her, those injured people need raincoats to take shelter from the rain.

She had no injuries. Even if she was caught in the rain, it was only a cold at best.

And those who have suffered a lot of injuries, if they are covered with rain, it is not just a cold, it is very likely to lead to infection.

After tightening Eliza's raincoat and listening to Eliza's steady breathing, a few dark colors slowly appeared on her face.

"What a tragic defeat..." Hai rou'er murmured sadly, "the situation of the 'summer wind' offensive... Was reversed by Barr in one fell swoop..."

……

Albert, who was in the middle of the remnant army of the Middle Route Army, hung his head and didn't put on his raincoat, let the raindrops beat him.

Someone did send him a raincoat just now, but Albert refused.

"I don't need it. Give it to the wounded soldiers."

——That's what Albert said.

The raincoat was not enough, and there were more than 10000 wounded in the army, so Albert didn't want to waste these precious raincoats on him who was not hurt at all.

Albert seems a few years old now. He is only 46 years old. Now he looks as if he is over 50 years old.

Albert's lost appearance now is quite different from the high spirited appearance of waving troops to pursue Barr a few days ago.

"Ha ha..." Albert smiled with self mockery, "what a shame... I didn't expect that I would be defeated by some people who looked down on me, and I was beaten badly... I'm really ashamed to want to commit suicide..."

Albert clenched his fists as he spoke.

Albert knew that they were bad now.

Not only the central battlefield is bad, but the whole situation of the "summer wind" offensive is bad!

Originally, his central battlefield maintained a fierce offensive, which made Barr lose his armor.

Although the Western battlefield has been deadlocked and the eastern battlefield has been quiet, because his central battlefield has always maintained a fierce offensive, the general trend of the "summer wind" offensive has always been that the British Empire has the upper hand.

However, in the battle of sola a few hours ago, when he was defeated by Baal and the Middle Route Army had less than half of its original strength, the whole situation was reversed by Baal!

It's not the British Empire that has the upper hand now! But the Lorraine Empire has the upper hand!

Albert his command of the Middle Route Army is the main force of the three-way army of the "summer wind" offensive.

However, now the main force has been crippled, and the remaining strength of the Middle Route Army is no longer able to threaten the main force of the Rowling army commanded by Barr.

Although Albert didn't want to admit it, it was already true - he was no longer able to wipe out the effective power of the Luo Lin army like the original general strategy.

Since the Middle Route Army, as the main force of the third army, has been unable to complete the task of "annihilating a large number of effective forces of Luolin army", it means that the "Xia Feng" offensive can be declared a failure.

"I didn't expect that the 'Xia Feng' offensive would end up like this because of me... I really have a heart of thanking my sins with death..."

Albert closed his eyes and said painfully.

"... send two heralds." Albert said to a knight next to him in an unwilling and painful tone, "go to the positions of the West Road army and the East Road army respectively, tell Allen and Su Cheng about the tragic defeat of our middle road army here, and tell them to lead the army first and then withdraw... First withdraw to the safety zone together, and then we'll think about what to do next..."
