    Chapter 12 The Burnt Village

    Lin Fenghan and the vanguard of the Elantra army continued to move forward towards the slightly downhill slope. Bosmi ran in front of Lin Fenghan after more than half of the Elantra army had crossed the top of the hill.

    "Report Baron, we have asked for a lot of information."

    "Oh!" Lin Fenghan looked at Bosmi in surprise.

    Postmi looked at the frowned Emina and the others and lowered their heads and said: "That kid looks like a tough guy, but he's actually a weakling. I didn't beat him, I just threatened him and he gave in."

    Bosmi told a little lie, looked at Emina and others' slowly improving expressions, and continued: "I have investigated his identity clearly. He was originally a servant of a nearby noble, and he was invited by Duke Brant.  Invited to join the army together with the noble knights, the regiment commander Blair currently serving in Shenmu City serves as the vanguard of reconnaissance."

    "According to his understanding, after Captain Brati of Hailin Town retreated overnight and led the Second Army and local noble soldiers along the road to retreat to Shenmu City, he was ordered in the morning by Blair, the main commander of the Second Army who had just learned the news.  Go scout the route and guide the retreating Second Legion soldiers and noble soldiers. At the same time, some Second Legion soldiers are shrinking the manpower and food resources of the surrounding villages."

    "According to what he learned through chatting, there are more than 3,000 soldiers of the Second Legion stationed in Shenmu City, including 2,000 in the main legion and 1,000 in the auxiliary legion. There are more than 2,000 soldiers in the Second Legion stationed in the mines in the surrounding areas.  , there are more than 1,400 soldiers of the local nobles, totaling more than 6,000 people. However, if the commander of the main army of the Second Army recruits farmers in Shenmu City, their total number of troops in this area can reach 7,000. And the real and specific number of troops in Shenmu City,  He doesn¡¯t know.¡±

    "7,000 people!" Iona said with her mouth wide open in surprise and patting her chest.

    Lin Fenghan stopped walking with a solemn expression, and analyzed seriously: "The population of this large area in the Senvi Mountains is more than 100,000. Even if the young and middle-aged men fight against the tyranny of taxation, they can only gather about 30,000 people, and the Duke of Brant  A total of six to seven thousand regular soldiers were dispatched here. According to the intelligence collected, Duke Brant dispatched many slaves from other places and captured many locals in the Senvi Mountains to dig for mineral deposits."

    "If the rumors are true, then we must take this matter seriously."

    Lin Fenghan looked at Aixina with bright eyes and said: "Aixina, according to what you said, Shenmu City is built on a hill among the mountains. The water it drinks is mainly river water left from the Snowy Mountains. The population is  There are about 20,000 people. Based on the villages, towns and farmland in the surrounding areas, I can judge that even if the resistance is suppressed, the number of troops that Shenmu City can maintain is between 2,000 and 4,000. Now our army is quickly attacking Shenmu City, and they only obtained it this morning.  After receiving the information, the total number of troops in Shenmu City is definitely less than 4,000, which is much less than ours. We must speed up our advance and try to catch him off guard. If we can capture Shenmu City, the central city in the Senwei Mountains, then half the victory will be won.  ¡±

    "Yeah! That makes sense." Aixina nodded slowly.

    "Speed ??up!"

    "Speed ??up!"

    The soldiers of the Elantra army who changed their clothes quickened their pace. The entire army increased part of its speed and moved towards the northwest of Shenmu City.

    ¡­¡­

    On November 19, at 12:40 noon, the Elantra army had ascended the mountains and hills and continued to advance in the mountains above the mountains.

    Suddenly there was a commotion among the vanguard cavalry of the army. Lin Fenghan and others looked three kilometers away in the distance, and black smoke from burning flames danced above.

    Lin Fenghan pulled the horse, looked at everyone nervously, waved his hands and said: "The vanguard light cavalry, go to investigate the situation, the general's guard will advance with me."

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    At noon, the exhausted Elantra army urgently needed to find a village that could provide more than 5,000 people with rest, water, and camping.  After eating some dry biscuits and grass, many of the front cavalry and war horses quickly followed the mountain road toward the mountain where the village is located.

    "ah!"

    "Woo!"

    "my house."

    "Damn nobles!"

    "Thousands of noble scoundrels who have been killed will not have a good death."

    ¡°Most of the food has been taken away, what are we going to eat?¡±

    ¡­¡­

    The Elantra light cavalry arrived first, and Lin Fenghan then arrived at the village with the heavy cavalry.  Suddenly I saw some burning houses built on the hill below the hill, and crying old and weak children.

    Lin Fenghan dismounted silently,He walked slowly to an old man with white hair outside the thatched house and asked, "Old man, what is going on?"

    "It's you!"

    "asshole!"

    ¡°Damn the nobles and soldiers.¡±

    The old man turned around in pain and wiped his tears. He looked at Lin Fenghan and others with stunned expressions, and immediately hit Lin Fenghan angrily.

    "You damn nobles, five of my sons have been recruited by you, two children have been killed, and two daughters and a granddaughter have also been taken to Shenmu City by you. My family's food has been looted by you, and now I don't even have a house.  Left to us, I have nothing left now.¡±

    "I'll fight with you." The old man rushed towards Lin Fenghan in pain. Several children around him angrily threw mud chunks at Elantra's vanguard cavalry. Many mountain people around him cursed loudly, and most of them looked at it with hatred.  A few people shrank in place and did not dare to move.

    "You old guy, you are so short-sighted!"

    "We didn't hurt you, why are you hitting us?" Lin Fenghan instinctively dodged back. Vera and others were stunned and were hit by rocks, and the old man's fist also hit him.  Vera pushed the old man away and pointed at the crowd angrily.

    "Stop!"

    "Stop!"

    "Stop it quickly!"

    One by one, crisp, melodious, and gentle voices sounded from behind. The three sisters Aishina, Iona, and Emina quickly rode horses into the village under the hill.

    The old man got up from the ground angrily and looked at the three people who had come from afar. He was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Aishina, Iona, Emina, granddaughter of the elder and patriarch of the Shenmu clan,  Are they some of you?"

    "Grandpa Tomitsen, it's the three of us." Aishina jumped off the horse dexterously, quickly helped the old man Tomitsen up, and said excitedly.

    "This is Baron Yiliuyun, the lord of the Elante Islands. He led a huge fleet and an army of more than 7,000 people to come here, preparing to defeat Duke Brant and let our mountain tribes in the Senvi Mountains get real fairness.  And freedom." Emina pointed at Lin Fenghan and said proudly to the old man Tomeson.

    "Yeah?"

    Tomisen glanced at Lin Fenghan suspiciously, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Excellency, Baron Elant, I am very sorry. I thought you were a bunch of scumbag soldiers from the Brant family. Our village was attacked by a group of soldiers just at noon.  The looting of Shenmu City soldiers."

    "A lot of food was snatched away by that group of scum, and villagers aged 12 to 50 were also taken away by them. In the entire large village of more than 1,000 people, only more than 300 of us, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were left. This life is really difficult.  pass."

    "Yes! Most of our food was taken away by them, leaving only a few potatoes buried in the ground and a small amount of food seeds. Now we can't even open the pot." More than 50 years old and 1.6 meters tall.  Five strong village women pointed to the burning houses and many crying children and elderly people, and said sadly.

    "Woo!"

    "I want my mother!"

    ¡­¡­

    Many children and old men gathered around the hill and cried. This scene made even the Elantra vanguard cavalry who had gone through many wars feel unbearable. Many kind-hearted soldiers handed dry biscuits from their horses to the hungry children.

    Emina looked at her suffering companions in pain, looked at Lin Fenghan with tears in her eyes and said, "Baron Yi Liuyun, please help them! I beg you."

    Lin Fenghan was silent as he looked at the steady stream of troops and the supply troops that lacked supplies and food.

    Tomisen straightened his back, glanced at Lin Fenghan with disdain, and said comfortingly to Emina: "Xiao Mina, don't cry anymore, the nobles don't have any good things. They don't give birth, but they eat us  The food drives our people, drinking our blood, and living the most beautiful life. They have huge wealth and many large warehouses of food. They would rather feed the food to dogs, or throw it away and waste it.  If you don¡¯t give anything to the people, you are the evil aristocrat.¡±

    "What?"

    Vera angrily patted the dust from the clods of soil on her body, and said to Tomitson in a deep voice: "The old guy speaks politely, but our baron is not the kind of person you said."

    "Isn't it? I think it's almost the same." Tomitsen sneered.

    "You!" Vera was about to pull out her sword angrily, but Iona quickly stopped him.

    Tomitsen glanced at Vera with a sneer, and said sarcastically: "Do you want to kill me? I am an old man who is about to die, and I don't care about dying early."

    "A person like me usually does a lot of good deeds. After I die and see the God, the God will take me to heaven to be happy."?? life.  As for you nobles and their scoundrels, if you do no evil in the mortal world, after you die, God will send you to hell according to your actions in the human world, and make you suffer painful torture.  "Tomitsen looked at Vera and the others with his chest raised coldly.
