    Chapter 24 Coping Strategies

    ??Successively, Bumisxiu and Brati have led the remnants of nearly 500 people to the outside of Shenmu City.  The soldiers guarding the east gate of Shenmu City looked at the large number of troops and blew their horns urgently, and many soldiers gathered on the city wall.

    One of the middle-aged officers shouted: "Who is down there? Which army is he from?"

    "Hurry up and open the door."

    Bulati was furious. He pointed at the top of the city gate and cursed: "I am Centurion Bulati of the Second Legion. Open the city gate quickly. We are going to see Blair, the commander of the main army."

    "General Bumisio!"

    "Centurion of the Brati United!"

    "It's them." The officers on the city wall looked at each other, quickly raised their hands and said, "Hurry up and open the city gate."

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    The soldiers guarding the city nodded one after another, lowered the noose, and opened the city gate. Suddenly, the businessmen and pedestrians outside the city gate walked in and out quickly.

    A businessman in his forties who was driving a donkey said: "After my cart of apples is delivered, I will go out immediately and never come back again this month."

    "Yes!" An old man in his fifties nodded and said: "I have sold out my oranges and sold them at low prices. Now I am going to return to the village immediately. I will never go to the city again until the war is over.  "

    A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old asked in confusion: "Uncle, uncle, why are you so anxious?"

    "Is it safer outside the town than inside the city?"

    The old man in Mai glanced at the young man and said: "Once the war starts, nearby villages and towns will not be safe, but distant towns and villages will definitely be much safer than here."

    "You know, once the siege war starts, many shameless nobles will drive away the peasants and the citizens will attack the city and defend the city. No matter whether you are rich or not, as long as the war starts, you will be used as strong men."

    At this moment, a cavalryman quickly ran to the city gate and shouted: "Viscount Blair has given an order to close the city gate immediately. The censors, everyone, etc. must cooperate to prevent the intrusion of spies."

    "Walk!"

    "Let's go!"

    "It will be too late if you don't leave."

    "Ah! My oranges!" A middle-aged businessman looked at the orange cart parked in the middle of the city gate, gritted his teeth, dropped the orange cart and ran outside.

    There were many businessmen going in and out, and most of the pedestrians ran out quickly after hearing the news.

    In the central hall of Shenmu City Center, Blair stood in the middle of the hall with an angry look on his face.  Blair was 1.82 meters tall, wearing a purple robe, with a majestic appearance and a strong build. Standing tightly on the spot, he exuded an aura of looking down at the world, making all mortals who saw him feel in awe.

    At this time, Blair was angrily reprimanding the two people who walked into the hall: "Bumi Xiu, Brati, didn't I order you two to lead the troops to stop the Elante army? Why did you turn around after only one day?  came back?"

    ?Bumi Xiu curled up his lips, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Commander Blair, our unit has successfully completed the reconnaissance mission and interception mission, and killed more than 300 of them."

    "ah!"

    Blair's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander of the Second Army, what information did you detect? How many enemies came, how long did you stop them, and how many people were killed?"

    "Your Excellency Blair!" Bumishu heard the secret resentment in the deputy legion's heart and said calmly: "This time the Elant Legion came, there are at least 5,000 people. According to previous investigations and judgments, the total number of troops they came to Senvi Mountain this time is about  There are about 8,000 people, and the army entering Shenmu City this time is also between 5,000 and 6,000 people."

    "Yesterday afternoon, our army blocked the enemy in a narrow mountain road for about four hours, and shot and bruised many of their soldiers with bows, arrows, and rocks. At least three to four hundred of them lost their combat effectiveness."

    "Oh!" Blair nodded in admiration and suddenly asked: "But I heard from the attendant that the team you came back has one or two hundred fewer people than the team that went out. What's going on?"

    "Ah!" Brati glanced at Blair in surprise.

    Bumisxiu said without blinking: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, there will be casualties in war. Many soldiers in our army were wounded by arrows and fell behind. Besides"

    Bumisxiu picked up the red wine on the table and drank it. He explained refreshingly: "Last night at around 12 o'clock, I led my brothers to attack their camp again. In a panic, they burned it down.  Their numerous tents builtThere was a huge chaos, but unfortunately, because it was too chaotic, more than a hundred brothers among us confessed that during the night attack, some brothers got separated in the dark night and are still in the wild mountains and forests.  middle.  "

    "Oh!" Blair nodded to Bumi Xiu with a serious look.

    Bumi Xiu struck while the iron was hot and continued to speak passionately: "Our army has less than 800 people, but it has successfully blocked and harassed a huge army of more than 6,000 people. After the night battle, the brothers are exhausted and can only advance in advance.  Return to Shenmu City to rest."

    "Really? Thank you for your hard work." Blair put down his hostility, shook hands with Boomixiu, and said seriously.

    "Now our soldiers stationed in various places in the western area are moving closer to Shenmu City. Currently, we have 3,000 soldiers stationed in Shenmu City. In addition, more than 1,000 soldiers have been withdrawn from nearby mining areas today, plus you are in  There are more than 4,500 troops, but this is not enough. Our troops are less than 5,000, and we will not have an advantage against Elantra's army of 5,000 or 6,000 men."

    "In addition, in the mining area near Shenmu City, the security there is very thin. There are more than 4,000 slaves and only 500 people are guarding it, so we must end this war quickly."

    "But you don't have to worry. According to the information from the carrier pigeon, our centurions from all over the west have gathered along the road. Together with the soldiers and militia of nearby vassal nobles, there are more than 2,700 people in total. We will be able to reach Shenmu City in the future.  By then it will be easy to defeat the Elantra army.¡±

    "But before that, we must remain vigilant and restrain ourselves. We must not fight easily and lose morale and the foundation for victory." Blair warned rigorously.

    "kindness!"

    "Um!"

    ?Bumi Xiu and Brati nodded with understanding.

    Suddenly, a young attendant walked into the hall quickly and said in a panic: "Report to the commander of the army, the cavalry at the vanguard of the Elant army has been spotted more than ten kilometers ahead. This is the news from our reconnaissance soldiers."

    "What?"

    Blair looked at Dongfang in surprise and said.
