    Chapter 25 The battle begins

    ¡°It¡¯s coming so soon.¡±

    "Send out all the scouts immediately to monitor their movements."

    "Close all city gates immediately to prevent enemy spies from entering."

    "Immediately order the soldiers to prepare for battle to prevent night attacks."

    "Immediately order craftsmen and soldiers to speed up the manufacturing and harvesting of wood, stone, and kerosene, and stay vigilant."

    ¡­¡­

    Blair finished the order quickly, looked into the distance and said: "Since the last battle with the Western barbarians ten years ago, it has not been so exciting for a long time."

    "Bumi Xiu, I hope you and I will cooperate well this time and stop being suspicious of each other. We must defeat the ferocious Baron Elante, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Blair turned around and looked at Bumis Xiu seriously.

    "Definitely!" Bumi Xiu nodded slowly with an appreciative look on his face.

    Bosmi and his party walked out of the continuous mountains and entered the high mountains and hilly areas.  Bosmi looked at the wild woods around the road and shook his head and said: "There is still no river here! You go back and tell the baron that there is no garrison ahead to advance. I will continue to move forward and must find a water source."

    "yes!"

    "yes!"

    A group of cavalry nodded and ran towards the rear.

    At this moment, a group of merchants were driving an ox cart passing by the intersection, and Bosmi quickly intercepted them.

    "you!"

    "you!"

    "Who are you?"

    Among a group of seven or eight people, a businessman in his forties wearing a round hat asked in a panic, while several helpers gathered around the bullock cart.

    The Elante cavalry looked startled, and more than thirty cavalrymen instinctively surrounded the group. Bosmi rode on the horse and asked seriously: "Are you all coming from Shenmu City? How far is this place from Shenmu City?"  What¡¯s happened inside recently?¡±

    The middle-aged businessman lowered the brim of his hat and asked respectfully: "Who is your Excellency?"

    "You won't change your name in office, and you won't change your surname in office. Centurion Bosmi of the Light Cavalry of the Elantra Legion's Pioneer Cavalry Brigade." Bosmi said proudly with his chest raised.

    The businessman was immediately shocked and said: "Are you from the Elantra army? Why are you so fast?"

    "Who are you? Why do you dare to go out and do business during the war? Do you really think you are lucky and no one will hurt you?" Bosmi looked at the merchant with sharp eyes.

    The middle-aged businessman's heart trembled, and he bent down loudly and said: "I am just a businessman from a nearby town. I transport dried walnuts to Shenmu City for business. I just left when I wanted to sell out. I didn't expect to meet you again."

    "This place is still eleven kilometers away from the Shenmu City. As long as you pass a large mountain plateau, the terrain will slowly drop. After walking four kilometers up, you can see the majestic Shenmu outside the gradually gentle and raised peaks.  city."

    "Hey! You are actually quite familiar with this place. Very good. There are rivers and lakes nearby. You can just take us there." Bosmi nodded happily.

    "Ah!" The businessman looked panicked and shook his head quickly: "Sir, I know there is a lake and a large stream of rivers three kilometers away, but I am too busy to go there and lead the way."

    "Bold, you said there is a river there. What if there isn't? Now let you lead the way and we won't let you work in vain. The Baron will give you enough bounty. If you are pushing third gear and fourth gear, then now  None of you can leave." Parami, the deputy centurion, said in a loud voice.

    "ah!"

    The merchant nodded helplessly, mounted his good horse and pointed at the small convoy and said: "I can lead you, but I don't want you to embarrass my caravan, otherwise I will definitely sue your baron or other big nobles.  .¡±

    "Okay, I understand." Bosmi nodded, pointed at more than a dozen cavalry and said, "You stay here to guard and wait for the baron's army. The others will come with me."

    "yes!"

    The front troops were divided into three, and Bosmi led the largest group of people towards the road and moved forward.  Lin Fenghan, who was behind, had ordered the army to go on the road before receiving any news from Bosmi. After receiving information from Bosmi midway, he accelerated the pace. The Elant army finally arrived at the place where the merchant said it was before the night arrived at 6:30 pm.  place.

    Bosmi pointed to a gushing mountain spring and the flowing river water and said to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, this is the largest water source nearby. There are lakes with an area of ??more than 500 meters around here, and there is a long river downstream.  Rivers and lakes, the water sources hereEnough for our army.  "

    "Well!" Lin Fenghan looked at the beautiful lake glowing under the red clouds, nodded with satisfaction and asked Bosmi: "What's the terrain like here, how far is it from Shenmu City, and what are the surrounding road conditions like?"

    Bosmi smiled proudly and said: "Lord Baron, I have already thought about what you said. According to the businessman's answer, this place is still about ** kilometers away from Shenmu City, and we are currently on a slope.  , the terrain here is all the way up, and we will reach the top plateau after marching two or three kilometers upward. Standing on the plateau, you can see most of the scenery of Shenmu City lower down below."

    "There are many mountain roads, straight roads, and avenues around Shenmu City. Our place is currently more than 600 meters away from the avenue. It will not be too remote or take too long a detour."

    "Yeah!" Lin Fenghan nodded, looked at the higher hills behind, pointed to the ground and said: "The land here is soft, and there is too much running water, which is not suitable for digging fortifications. We drink water and eat here, and we will drink water and eat here.  Set up camp among the large hills and highlands a hundred meters away. At the same time, we ordered the infantry to set up a checkpoint in the avenue to stop rash pedestrians and prevent spies. We must have at least five or six hundred people on duty tonight. This is absolutely not allowed.  Let your guard down.¡±

    "yes!"

    Bosmi and others nodded. Ke Lande and Lin Fenghan quickly arranged for the men to set up camp. An army of more than 5,000 people slowly walked into the temporary camp.

    Many soldiers set fire to the ground to drive away mosquitoes, some collected wood and hay, and some dug tunnels.  Although the action is not very skillful, it is at least much better than yesterday.

    It was almost nine o'clock in the dark night before the camp, which was four to five kilometers in length and surrounded by hills and roads, was set up.  At this time, there were still a few straggler soldiers and supply soldiers entering the camp from the rear road.

    In the large camp tent on the hilly high ground, Lin Fenghan looked at the many main centurion officers with a serious face, and said cautiously: "We are not far from Shenmu City now. The commander of the main army and the auxiliary army of the second army of Shenmu City are  The commander-in-chief has already known about our arrival, and they must have taken corresponding countermeasures. At this time, we must remain vigilant."

    "All of you, including me, should not take off your leather armor when sleeping. You must keep your armor and sword by your side, and be ready for war at all times."

    "Report!"

    "Report to the Baron." A young soldier quickly ran into the big tent and gasped: "The archer in front shot and wounded a man hiding in the grass while hunting, and then we saw many people  They all ran away from the grass."

    "The light infantry in front quickly pursued and captured two or three people. They were all soldiers of the Second Army."

    "What?" Lin Fenghan raised his eyebrows, looked solemnly at the sky in the distance and said, "This battle is about to begin."
