    Chapter 20: Counterattack of the Dark Night

    It was around 11 o'clock in the night. At this time, Elant's army was already sleeping peacefully. Only a few soldiers around were watching and on duty, while those in the northwest were gearing up and secretly waiting for orders.

    Lin Fenghan, Aixina, Iona, Vera and others who were unwilling to sleep sat together in a tent on higher ground in the Northeast Camp, warming themselves by the fire and talking.

    Lin Fenghan took out a gourd of ale from the small table and handed it to Tomeson, who was also unable to sleep. He asked for advice: "Old man, how far is it from Waterdeep City? Do we need to continue walking up the road? Is the mountain  Is it higher than what we landed on today?¡±

    "There won't be any more."

    Tomitsen took the ale, opened the cork, drank a few sips, exhaled and said: "It's only thirty or forty kilometers away from Shenmu City! There are hills and hills all the way, all with a height of 100 meters.  There are very few mountains as tall as today."

    "The height we are at is already very high now, and the heights in various places in the Senvi Mountains are relatively close to this. Going further inside, the heights are relatively parallel. Shenmu City is a city built under a large snow-capped mountain.  This city is located in a small basin and is the central area of ????the Senvi Mountains."

    "Since Duke Brant spent a huge price to conquer this area 200 years ago, he has established a fortified city in the center of this mountainous area to control us mountain people whose customs are different from theirs."

    Tomitsen recalled the past, shook his head in fear, and said tremblingly: "Shenmu City was built under the snow-capped mountains, on a large hill in the basin. The hills gradually increased upward, about fifty meters higher than the flat valley. In  At the top of the hill, Duke Brant built a huge city covering an area of ??four to five square kilometers around the thousand-year-old tree in the center. The city wall at the top of the city is ten meters high and four meters thick. It is very strong. Since the establishment of Shenmu City,  , Our ancestors resisted again and again but never broke this city, and many heroes hated it."

    "Oh! Such a solid city." Lin Fenghan's face turned serious and he asked in surprise.

    "I am marching here this time. I have brought 5 catapults and 5 catapults. Due to road reasons, I only brought 5 small catapults. According to you, even if I bring all the long-range catapults, it will not  We will definitely be able to break the wall of Shenmu City head-on!"

    "Well! This city wall is very strong. I'm afraid no weapon in the world can break it, so I don't believe in your plan to capture Shenmu City in the short term." Tomitsen sneered at himself.

    "Report to the Baron, the scouts reported that they felt something unusual was found in the northwest, and the sound there was particularly quiet." Suddenly, a young soldier came in and said loudly.

    "The field battle has begun." Lin Fenghan stood up neatly, looked into the distance, and said to Aixina and others: "Be careful, it's best to stay here. In war, swords don't have eyes. They can hurt you."  Wouldn¡¯t it be better?¡±

    "Hmph! You are small, but I, Iona, am a powerful swordsman." Iona stood up unconvinced and looked at Lin Fenghan provocatively.

    "Oh! Since you are not afraid of death, just go out and watch with me, and be careful not to disturb others." Lin Fenghan raised his eyebrows at Iona and said calmly to the guards.

    "Immediately inform Rana, Davout, Bosmi and others, and order all soldiers to prepare and wait for the opportunity."

    "yes!"

    Several messengers knew that some of these people had already noticed the situation, but they still went to inform them and told the senior officers and generals who were not aware of the situation.

    Lin Fenghan stood 300 meters away from the northwest guardrail, looking at the many Elantra infantry who stood up quietly, and sighed: "This is the first time we have encountered a night attack. Tonight, we must train senior generals and some soldiers to fight back.  The opponent, fighting in the dark, has the ability to cooperate.¡±

    In the distance, Bumi Xiu, Brati and others looked ahead and discussed in low voices.

    Bulati looked at the military camp in the distance with admiration and said: "Yi Liuyun, this kid is really not simple! In just a few hours of work, he chose a good place and built a large-scale military camp with reasonable layout and good defense.  , it would be difficult for me to build if it were me.¡±

    "Well!" Bumisxiu crawled in the grass and looked at the lights in the distance and said, "It's also difficult for me to build one. When we were fighting and marching with the Western barbarians, we were rarely in the wild, and we didn't put any effort into building fortifications.  . In this regard, we are far behind the Elantra army. We rarely have the qualities and tools required to build fortifications."

    "Brother!" Bulati nodded and said seriously: "Based on what we saw from the top of the mountain today, they are in the camp.A trench was dug around the perimeter and a guardrail was built outside.  We have brought 500 people here now, how do you say we will fight?  "

    Bumisxiu thought seriously, touched his beard and said: "I looked at the surrounding situation and found that the only directions that allow us to approach their camp safely and without making any noise are west, north and east, and obviously the north and east are the same.  Most of the angles are not suitable for our retreat, and our attack can only proceed from the northwest."

    "The battle will begin in a moment. You lead 200 light infantry to approach the opponent, kill the opponent's night watch infantry, then take out the torches and fire tubes, use torches to light the tents, and burn everything in the military camp. I will lead the archers to shoot bows and spears outside.  Triggering chaos among them, we quickly retreated and attacked continuously in this dark night, preventing them from sleeping peacefully." Bumi Xiu gave detailed instructions.

    "Well!" Brati nodded, looked at the moon that was slowly covered by dark clouds in the sky, and whispered: "Brother, the time has come, I will go right away, you are ready to meet us."

    "Yeah!" Bumisxiu nodded.

    At half past eleven in the night, the second round of the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the earth was pitch black. Brati led the infantry and slowly bent forward towards the Elante military camp.

    In the pitch-black night, the burning torches on the arrow towers outside the Elant military camp could only illuminate a small area of ??more than ten meters. This situation made the soldiers of the Second Army bolder and accelerated their advance.

    "Is the trebuchet ready?" Lin Fenghan asked quietly to the soldiers beside him.

    "Lord Baron, our five trebuchets have been on standby for a long time. The incendiary bombs made of cotton cloth and butter have been ignited and are ready to be launched." Captain Spit of the trebuchet artillery brigade proudly patted his chest and faced Lin confidently.  Fenghan said.

    "Oh! That's great."

    Lin Fenghan nodded and looked into the distance, and said excitedly: "The show is about to begin!"
