    Chapter 27 Battle of Shenmu City (1)

    "what's the situation?"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Baron, there is a reddish color in the sky ahead, and there are bursts of thick smoke. There may be a fire ahead." Lin Fenghan and others, who were discussing the art of war with Rana and others, suddenly heard intelligence from outside.

    Lin Fenghan looked at the nervous soldiers in confusion and quickly walked out of the tent.

    "It's really red." Kelande said, looking at the sky with wide eyes.

    "Yes!" Rafa said, rubbing his hands excitedly.

    Lana looked at the situation in the air and frowned and said: "Baron, the cavalry should be sent outside immediately to check, and be prepared for fire prevention."

    Dawu pointed to the nearby rivers and lakes and said: "This place outside is very empty. Depending on the rivers and lakes, even if the forest catches fire, it will not burn this place outside."

    ¡°The terrain of this place gets higher and higher as you go forward. The forest on the top plateau may catch fire, but it is still very difficult to burn it down to the foot of the mountain.¡±

    "Yes!" Lin Fenghan nodded, looked at the two of them with admiration, and said seriously: "What Rana and Davout said are both right, but we should really prepare and check the situation, otherwise there will really be a firestorm.  If we come here, or the enemy attacks, we will suffer heavy casualties."

    "Ke Langde, you lead some light cavalry to check out the situation."

    "yes!"

    Kelande patted his chest bravely and walked out quickly, preparing to follow the pace of the scouts ahead.  The Elante soldiers who had just started to rest had to put on armor and swords and be on guard. Lin Fenghan and everyone in the camp were waiting for the investigation news from the front.

    It was past ten o'clock in the night, and both the reconnaissance sentries of Elantra and the reconnaissance infantry of the Second Army hidden in the mountains and forests far away were confused by the red color in the air.

    Although it was night, the Elantra reconnaissance cavalry still moved forward cautiously under the moonlight and firelight.  After traveling for more than half an hour and encountering many troubles, the Elantra reconnaissance cavalry arrived at the top of the plateau and finally figured out the situation. Some of them hid in place and some went back to report.

    At nearly 12 o'clock at midnight, in the tent of the Elant army camp, a young cavalryman aged 17 or 18 said excitedly: "Baron, after more than 20 minutes of investigation and deduction, we have figured out the situation.  .¡±

    "You kid, stop pretending and tell me quickly." Ma Youdun pricked up his ears and looked straight at the scout cavalry and asked.

    "All right!"

    The young scout cavalry took a breath and said quickly: "According to what we saw, we saw many soldiers coming out of Shenmu City carrying those who were burned to death and their bodies back to Shenmu City. Plateau  There are also many signs of fires they set on the hills.¡±

    "The centurion concluded that they must have brought torches to set fire to the mountain and burn us, but because of an operational error, they allowed the wildfire to burn themselves."

    "What?"

    "No way!"

    "Ha ha!"

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone looked at the young cavalry in disbelief. Lin Fenghan clapped his hands and applauded: "A bunch of idiots can't even set fire. They are so stupid."

    "Order to go down and tell our brothers about this situation, and then let everyone go to bed quickly and replenish their strength."

    "Tomorrow morning, we will teach those idiots a lesson."

    "good!"

    "Ha ha!"

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone excitedly told others about the news they heard from the scout cavalry.  After the Elant soldiers in the entire camp heard the news that the soldiers from Shenmu City set fire to the mountain and burned themselves, they all laughed until their stomachs hurt, and slowly fell asleep while laughing.

    The next day, at just six o'clock in the morning, the Elantra army had already gotten up to light a fire and cook. At seven o'clock in the morning, the army set off in formation.

    The army of more than 5,000 people marched along the mountain road toward the forest ahead. After more than an hour, the vanguard finally reached the top of the plateau.

    "Lord Baron, below is Shenmu City." Tomitsen wiped his sweat and pointed to a large basin below.

    Lin Fenghan was riding a horse and standing on the top of the mountain on the plateau.  At this time, most of the small trees around the road have been burned after yesterday's wildfire test. You can still see a lot of burnt clothes, dead grass, and dead trees on the road down.

    Standing at the top of the mountain and looking down, a huge basin appeared in front of Lin Fenghan.  Below the top of the mountain, gently sloping slopes extend downward, stretching for six to seven kilometers.??A city built on a hill appeared in front of Lin Fenghan.  The city is very majestic, with rivers stretching below it.

    In the northwest of Shenmu City, a tall snow-capped mountain that reaches into the sky stands quietly there, as peaceful and mysterious as an eternal giant.

    Lin Fenghan stood on a high mountain and looked at the Shenmu City below, and said in shock: "The location of this city is really wonderful! There is a natural moat, and there are mountainous areas rising slowly upward. In addition to having to fetch water from below,  Everything else is just great.¡±

    Tomeson coughed slightly and said loudly: "Lord Baron, you don't know something!"

    "In the city of Shenmu City, there are still dozens of deep water wells in the courtyards of various dignitaries in Shenmu City. In all directions of Shenmu City, there are rivers, streams, and lakes. This city also has complete cellar water storage equipment.  It¡¯s enough to save water within the city for a month.¡±

    "What?"

    "So tough!"

    Lin Fenghan looked at the city below in surprise, and said more firmly: "The more difficult the goal, the more successful I will be. Brothers, follow me."

    "go ahead!"

    ¡­¡­

    It took Elante's army more than two hours to reach the hillside correction four kilometers away from Shenmu City.  At this time, General Bumishu and General Blair of Shenmu City also paid attention to the Elant army outside Shenmu City, and issued messages to close the city gates and be on alert.

    Lin Fenghan and Ke Langde led more than 300 cavalrymen to leave the army and walked to a place one kilometer outside Shenmu City. They looked at the densely packed figures on the huge city wall and said in shock: "This Shenmu City is really majestic.  !¡±

    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn¡¯t have thought that this city would be so strong and difficult to conquer.¡±

    "yes!"

    Kelande wiped his sweat, pointed at Shenmu City, which was thirty to fifty meters above the surrounding plains, and said in panic: "Baron, you see, to attack this city, we must attack from a slope of five to six hundred meters long. Wait until we cross the stream.  By the time the river reaches the city walls, they are already half dead from exhaustion, and there is still strength left to attack the city.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s more, the city is located too high, and it is difficult for our trebuchets, catapults, and catapults to penetrate ammunition.¡±

    "Well! But the slope outside them is not fair. There is a very gentle hillside in that place. Ke Langde, let's go there first and shoot a few arrows." Lin Fenghan pointed to the northwest and said.

    "yes!"

    Ke Langde nodded and rode towards that place with Lin Fenghan.
