    ('

    With tens of thousands of people, it¡¯s boundless.  The same is true for the camp that was set up.

    After Archduke John discovered that his five thousand cavalry had been wiped out by the Western Qin people, he was not prepared to enter Belfort overnight. After all, it would be meaningless to compete for speed now.

    The Burgundian army set up military camps along the edge of the Belfort Mountains.  After all, going into the mountains at night is unsafe. Besides, the soldiers have been traveling all night and are in urgent need of rest. Furthermore, the mountain roads are winding and winding. Finding a suitable and safe campsite is very difficult for a group of 70,000 people.  It is not an easy task for the army.

    Waiting for tomorrow, after the army has finished resting, it will march all the way through Belfort and directly to the city of Basel. This is Archduke John's current thinking.

    In terms of overall combat effectiveness, the Western Qin people are definitely not as good as themselves. However, if they continue to divide their troops, it will be equivalent to giving meat to the Western Qin people. The Burgundians, who have suffered several losses, have obviously begun to change their thinking.

    When the army is gathered together, I will tell you clearly that I will fight you to the death in an upright manner and will not give you a chance to sneak up and make small moves.

    There is nothing wrong with this approach, which is why Mengzhi is now scratching his scalp at the Belfort Pass: "They are really cautious enough and choose to camp directly outside the mountain. It seems that it is not easy for us to do anything."

    According to Mengzhi's original idea, although it was not too early now, it was still close to two hours away. Since the Burgundians could arrive so quickly, there was no reason to arrive so early outside the mountain.  Set up camp.  Moreover, even the vanguard troops that had just entered the mountains retreated, leaving only a few scouts.

    As long as the Burgundians choose to camp inside the mountains, the 70,000 troops will definitely not be able to gather together. At that time, he and Mengge can lead the soldiers to attack one of the camps, and they can also make the Thunderbolt  Make a difference.

    But now, the Burgundians did not arrange according to his ideas, which left Mengzhi at a loss - all his troops were in a relatively open field, and if he led people there for a sneak attack, the possibility of success would be too high.  A little lower.

    "If there is no chance, then create an opportunity." Meng Ge looked at Meng Zhi and then said: "You usually don't have many clever ideas, so why don't you think of a way to lure some of them in?"

    Meng Zhi chuckled twice, "Brother, what do you think? If they are so easy to deceive, I won't have a headache."

    Meng Ge curled his lips and was about to think of a solution quietly when he heard Meng Zhi say: "However, there is still a way."

    "If you have something to say, say it quickly. When will you learn to use detours?"

    "It's not about beating around the bush, to be honest, if I were asked to trick them in, I really have no choice. You see, their camps are very densely packed, and there are checkpoints all around. This is simply beyond what we can do.  The limit." Mengzhi found a relatively clean piece of land and finished the work, then continued: "However, during these times, I studied the thunder that the young master asked us to bring, and I think, in fact, we can change it.  How to use it.¡±

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Throughout the night, there was thunder.

    Archduke John, his son Philip, and several Burgundian nobles have not fallen asleep until now. It's not that they don't want to sleep, but the weather tonight is too weird.

    "What the hell is the weather like? There are obviously no clouds, so how can there be thunder?" A nobleman asked with a puzzled look on his face.  He said it was a question, but he actually knew it. He looked at the people around him with puzzled looks on their faces, so naturally he didn't expect anyone to give him an answer.

    Of course, if it was really a thundering and raining day, these nobles would not say that they were too scared to sleep, but that the thunder was too strange. First of all, the sound was not like the thunder they had heard before.  Moreover, so far, they have only heard sounds but not seen a flash of lightning.

    People are always more or less afraid of unknown things.  This feeling has nothing to do with how much wealth a person has or how high his social status is.  This is just human instinct.

    "I don't know, but the sound is coming from the Belfort Mountains. Do you think we need to send someone over to have a look?" Another noble said.

    "There have already been reports from scouts. These noises are coming from the mountains, but judging from the sounds, they shouldn't be thunder." Philips said that when such a strange thing happened, of course he sent scouts over to investigate as soon as possible, but  , sent ten batches of scouts over, but only two came back, and the news they brought was not of high value.

    "Meeting"Could it be that those Western Qin people did something?  " someone asked.

    "How do I know? Everything is still unclear now, but let's wait until daybreak. When we enter Belfort, everything will naturally be known." Philips also seemed to have a headache. Faced with this situation, he really didn't know how to explain it.

    "Everyone, please go back and rest first. We will enter Belfort tomorrow. This place is now controlled by our enemies and we need to be extremely careful. Therefore, if you don't have enough energy tomorrow, it will be difficult to guarantee that you will be able to survive an emergency.  When the situation arises, you can make the most accurate response." Duke John spoke. Since he can't find the reason, there is no way to just sit there. Anyway, when the army passes tomorrow, all the mysteries will be revealed.  .

    "Yes!" everyone replied.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.

    The next day, at dawn, all the Burgundian soldiers were woken up. After breakfast, they set off collectively.

    In fact, soldiers in this era only have two meals a day, noon and evening. However, because everyone knows that in Belfort, there is no guarantee what will happen, so the soldiers must be well fed to be stronger.  To fight.

    "Your Majesty the Duke!" As soon as he entered the Belfort Mountains, Duke John found that the troops in front had stopped advancing. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, a soldier ran up to him and said, "The road ahead collapsed.  Our troops are temporarily unable to advance."

    According to John's status, he should stay in the central army honestly, that is to say, he should not appear in the first group to enter the mountain. However, maybe he was very interested in the noise last night, so he entered in advance.  Mountain.

    Although it is not safe to do so, you must know that even their vanguard force has 10,000 people, and there will be another 60,000 troops right behind. The Grand Duke thinks that it is still very safe here, even if he is attacked by the Western Qin Dynasty.  People ambushed them, and the follow-up troops were able to keep up with the rescue.

    "Collapsed? What happened?" Although this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Burgundians, the Grand Duke can be sure that this road can lead to Basel unobstructed. How could the front road collapse?

    "I don't know, but it is true that the army cannot pass." The soldier said truthfully.

    "Can it be repaired?" This is the question that the Grand Duke is most concerned about. Although there are many mountain roads, none of them are as convenient as this one. What's more, the Grand Duke also vaguely feels that the current situation should be directly related to the noise last night.  .

    If this is the case, then it means that the Western Qin people have something special that can cause the current result, that is, blocking the way forward for the Burgundian army, and then switching to another way.  Of course he can't let the people of Western Qin get their wish, so as long as the road ahead can be repaired, the Grand Duke will not change the road easily.
