    Chapter 9 Setting up camp

    General Bumisxiu looked at Lin Fenghan who was leaving angrily, smiled faintly, and said softly: "Young man! I just can't calm down. The location of this hill is not good. We continue to move forward and investigate the terrain. We must find a  A good place to camp.¡±

    "yes!"

    The guards looked at Bumi Xiu with admiration, nodded and drove their horses forward at a small pace.

    "Baron, they are following us!" Ma Youden looked behind him warily and whispered to Lin Fenghan.

    "Yeah! I get it. I've pretty much seen the specific terrain here." Lin Fenghan pointed forward and said seriously: "There is a small river five hundred meters south of Weilin Village. The land one kilometer in front of the small river is basically  There are gentle hills and grasslands all over the place. This land has been reclaimed by villagers into farmland. It is the gentlest place around, so I decided to fight here."

    "Baron, is this the field we walked through?"

    ¡°It¡¯s too unkind to fight in the fields!¡± Ke Langde said with some unbearability.

    "I know it too, but we have no choice."

    Lin Fenghan shook his head, glanced at Ke Langde, and whispered: "It is late autumn now, and the fields are bare. Although there are some weeds, seeds, etc., the army will not destroy anything in battle. At most, everyone will step on it together."  It¡¯s just a little thicker.¡±

    "Our current land is close to the Senwei Mountains. Although it is still a plain, there are too many hills, inconvenient transportation in many places, too many weeds and trees, too many ravines, and uneven land. The armies of six to seven thousand people on both sides simply cannot  The arrangement cannot be separated. Only the flat area three to four kilometers in length from east to west in front is the most suitable for both sides. Even if I don't choose, the commander-in-chief on the opposite side will definitely choose this place. This is a problem we cannot avoid."

    "Tonight, I will prepare 50 people to stay on duty here overnight to guard against sneak attacks from opponents at any time. Now you start gathering the weeds here and get close to the river bank. In our place, if you want to light a bonfire at night, it must be outside Weilin Village.  Establish a warning within 2 kilometers."

    "yes!"

    Everyone nodded and ran quickly towards the fields.

    After half an hour of investigation, Bumi Xiu also decided to treat this world as the main battlefield.

    "Tonight we will camp on the hills in this field. After the main force arrives, we will dispatch 300 people to drive away the Elant soldiers gathering weeds in front of us. We will strengthen our vigilance and be sure not to allow them to attack our temporary military camp."

    "Now you also go chop down the trees and collect the hay and wood." Bumisxiu rode his horse and gestured in the hills and fields.

    "Yes!" The knights of the Forward Guard also learned from the knights of Elantra.

    "I go!"

    ¡°There are people who are snatching away the grass and clearing away the dead wood!¡±

    Kelande, who was left as the guard captain, looked at the soldiers of Brandt's Second Legion who were mowing the grass with long swords, and said depressedly.

    ¡­¡­

    The main force of Elantra continued to enter Weilin Village at five o'clock, six o'clock, and seven o'clock.  The light infantry who were the first to arrive at Weilin Village had organized the villagers to set up a canteen, temporary toilets, and a camping area. A large army of more than 4,000 people entered the village in an orderly manner.

    The centurions and squadron leaders of each group chopped wood, dug trenches, erected tents, and organized the troops to camp.

    "How good Baron!"

    "Has the Baron eaten?"

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan inspected the encamped army with a smile on his horse. At this time, the area covering an area of ??less than one square kilometer was full of soldiers. The Linshui military camp formed by the Elant army covered an area of ??nearly three square kilometers.  The outsiders surrounded the entire village.  On the south, east, and west sides, the centurion directed a trench and guardrail three meters deep and two meters wide to be built, tightly surrounding the entire village.

    "I discovered a problem. We have too few shovels, not many knives, axes, and saws. We simply don't have enough tools to cut down trees, build garrison fortresses, and set up temporary military camps." Lin Fenghan pointed at those who were disapproving.  said the soldiers at work.

    Corland, who was traveling with him, nodded slightly and said in confusion: "Baron, you are too careful. I used to fight with the army, and trenches and guardrails were rarely built in temporary residences or campsites."

    "Frankly speaking, you are too cautious about setting up temporary camps and military camps. What you are doing now is no different from building a real military camp or fortress."

    "Such a heavy workload is a torment for soldiers, as well as computing resources and officers who maintain their work. I was previously recruited to fight against the barbarians in the west."I never did this during the war.  "

    "If you have to follow this standard every time you set up camp, then the soldiers will not get any rest at all, and their physical strength will be severely reduced."

    "For example, if we leave the city now and set off at 12 o'clock at noon, assuming that we march quickly in the field until after 10 o'clock at night, you are asking the army to cut wood, build trenches, wooden fences, walls, and horse braces, while eating and drinking, you will definitely be able to  I will be busy from midnight to one o'clock tomorrow, get up before six o'clock the next day, eat, and then leave the well-defended and well-equipped military camp."

    "Then the soldiers rest for six hours a day as you said, and work hard and tired the rest of the time. There are also some temporary military camps that have been discarded and abandoned. How meaningful do you think this is? Those soldiers built through hard work can only be used once.  What's the use of wooden fences and trenches? Don't you think this is a waste of time, energy, and resources?" Kelland asked, looking seriously into Lin Fenghan's eyes.

    "oh!"

    "Do you think so too?" Lin Fenghan looked at Colander, then at Mayoton, Ross, Browner and others.

    "Baron, what Knight Colander said is very correct. If it is a general march, we do not need to spend so much energy and physical strength. If we are building a permanent military camp or fortress, then there must be an exception." Ma Youden also seriously agreed.  road.  Along the way, many squad captains and centurions complained about Lin Fenghan's caution. This judgment also affected the general's guards and others.

    Lin Fenghan stared at Ma Youdun, Colander and others, and said seriously: "I will consider your opinions, but I think it is better for us to be cautious when marching in the wild and in an unfamiliar environment, no matter what the situation is.  Under the situation, the defense of the army, the trenches of the military camps, and the wooden fences are all indispensable."

    ¡°We must not deny these things by saying we are exhausted, tired, or out of proportion to our efforts and gains.¡±

    "For me, my army must not be stationed in a place without any defense facilities."

    "My army must not be attacked without defense at night."

    "My army must not be lazy, afraid of death, tired, or averse to trouble."

    Lin Fenghan looked at everyone present seriously and said loudly: "If you feel that the rest time is not enough, you can tell me and I can let you sleep a little longer."

    "If you feel that you don't have enough time to eat and you are not full, then you can tell me and I can let you eat for two hours until your body is satisfied and you can move forward."

    "What I really want to tell you now is that as a soldier, don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of fatigue, don't be afraid of fatigue."

    "You are indeed very tired and tired now, but these things are definitely much lighter than the enemy's sneak attack in the dark night, where you suffered heavy casualties."

    ¡°The more hardship you endure in wartime, the less blood will be shed. If what you do can avoid the annihilation of your army and personal death, then this will be a very meaningful thing.¡±

    "Brothers, for the sake of our lives, we must do this, and we must do this forever." Lin Fenghan glanced at everyone, looked at Colander and said: "From today on, except within the territory of our own country, other areas  We all have to set up camp seriously and do bigger and more projects.¡±

    "yes!"

    Kelande, Ma Youden and others looked serious and nodded in admiration.

    "Well, let's go ahead. Tonight, one-tenth or 400 troops must guard the night and remain vigilant. At the same time, all centurions, squadron leaders, and squad leaders must also be vigilant and don't let go of any commotion.  .¡±

    "Order the logistics light infantry to start cooking at 5 o'clock. At 6 o'clock, the whole army will have dinner and wait for the order to assemble."

    "yes!"
