    Chapter 31 The Battle of Shenmu City (5)

    Lin Fenghan and others also ran over on horseback, stretched out their thumbs at Spit and shouted: "Spit did a good job, but our position has been exposed. This place is not suitable for attacking. Let's change our position."

    "It's almost ten o'clock now, and it will be noon soon. The walls of Shenmu City are very strong and difficult to attack. This is a war that will take a lot of time. Let's go back and find a good place to camp now. Wait until the catapult arrives in the afternoon  , it¡¯s not too late to attack, the power of the trebuchet is too small compared to the trebuchet.¡±

    "Um!"

    Everyone nodded.

    At this time, two or three cavalrymen suddenly came around from the northeast. They quickly waved to Lin Fenghan and shouted: "Lord Baron, an army of five or six hundred people appeared five kilometers west of Shenmu City. Our reconnaissance cavalry has discovered it.  We caught them and are now reporting back.¡±

    "What?"

    Lin Fenghan said in shock: "Their reinforcements are coming so soon."

    Davout frowned and said: "Baron, I guess their reinforcements are not just this one, there are many more behind them, some of them must have come to support."

    Lana straightened his body and said quickly: "Lord Baron, we will lead the fast cavalry troops to annihilate them now. The army will guard the western passage to prevent their reinforcements."

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan nodded after thinking, and said solemnly: "There are at least more than 4,000 soldiers in Shenmu City. More than 2,400 of us have gone to harvest wood. Now there are only 500 cavalry and more than 2,500 remaining here.  The strength of the infantry is far behind them."

    "But we can't just wait for their reinforcements to arrive and do nothing. Korande, Mayoden, and Bosmi immediately notify our cavalry troops to assemble. Everyone must bring javelins, crossbows and other long-range projectile weapons."

    "Rana, Davout, you two are here to cooperate with Corland to command the army, stabilize the situation and scare them. Ramsay and I will go first."

    "Um!"

    "Baron, be careful."

    Everyone nodded and quickly directed the troops.

    In four or five minutes, more than 500 cavalrymen had gathered. Lin Fenghan waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, come with me."

    "shelf!"

    "shelf!"

    "Run!"

    ¡­¡­

    More than five hundred people brought up a puff of smoke and ran around the northeastern city wall toward the western hills of Shenmu City.

    On the wall of Shenmu City, Blair keenly noticed the situation of the Elant army, and asked his adjutant Pasler strangely: "What are they doing? Why are they sending cavalry to the west?"

    "General Blair, our reinforcements appear in the west, just four kilometers away." At this time, the messenger quickly stood under the city wall and shouted to Blair on the wall.

    "oh!"

    Blair was stunned for a moment, smiled faintly and said, "I knew something was going to happen, and it was like this."

    Blair pointed in the direction of the Elante army outside the city and said: "Now they only have about 3,000 people on this battlefield, and our Second Army has more than 4,000 people who can move. Now that they are preparing to block our reinforcements, it is time for them to  Time for a lesson.¡±

    "General Boumisio, I order you to lead our cavalry and light infantry troops to quickly support our reinforcements, and kill and injure the cavalry of the Elante army as much as possible to ensure that our reinforcements can safely enter the city."

    "Yes!" Boumisio nodded without any doubt, and ran towards the west with Blair's Guards Cavalry officers.  Numerous messengers conveyed Blair's orders.

    The soldiers of the Second Legion who were waiting calmly suddenly became busy. In five or six minutes, more than 500 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry walked out of the walls of Shenmu City and rushed towards the western road.

    The chaotic running sound of the cavalry attracted the attention of Lin Fenghan and others. At this time, Elante's cavalry unit was 1.5 kilometers away from Shenmu City, less than 1,500 meters away from the reinforcements coming from the Second Army.

    "Damn it!"

    Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at the cavalry troops running out from behind. He decisively reached out and stopped his advance, shouting: "The whole army is back!"

    "Everyone returns!"

    "Everyone returns!"

    ¡­¡­

    Ramsay looked at the more than 50 cavalry and more than 450 infantry who came to support, and asked unwillingly: "Baron, are we leaving like this? With just one charge, we can defeat those soldiers in disorderly formation and kill them.  Most of them."

      "Yes! After we kill more than half of the people, we won't be able to run away. We will be blocked by the reinforcements from Shenmu City. At least half of the brothers will have to stay here." Lin Fenghan looked at La with a displeased look.  "We are the most elite cavalry unit and a group of infantry units fighting each other for numbers. It makes no sense."

    "The war we want to fight is not a war of attrition. It is meaningless to fight head-on with the enemy. We will retreat and camp first, and wait for the evening to see if Blair has the courage to fight us decisively after receiving reinforcements."

    "Oh!" Ramsay coughed, smiled, patted his head, and left uninterestedly.

    ?Bumi Xiu, who was riding in the vanguard on a war horse, spotted Lin Fenghan among the cavalry on the high slope outside the west gate of Shenmu City, and said excitedly: "Yi Liuyun, I saw him."

    "Brothers, charge with me. The Baron of Elant is there. As long as we catch him, the war will be over."

    Bulati quickly reminded: "General, their troops are turning around and preparing to go back. Our team has just gathered now, can we stop them?"

    "We have more than 400 cavalry. As long as we run down quickly, we should be able to block them."

    "I will lead the cavalry to attack first. You go and notify the centurions on the north wall and ask them to lead people out of the north gate quickly and block the road outside the city gate. As long as they block their elite cavalry, they will kill Yiliu.  Yun, the whole battle is completely over."

    "yes!"

    Brati nodded excitedly and rode happily towards the north gate.

    More than 400 cavalrymen from the Second Legion of Shenmu City quickly rushed down the hillside with puffs of smoke and dust, running towards the Elante cavalry team.

    "What the hell, these rookies didn't even form a neat team, so they rushed over to seek death." Ramsay rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted, "Baron, let me lead my brothers to teach them a lesson."

    "No need. Let's retreat quickly."

    Lin Fenghan looked at a group of cavalry walking out of the city gate 800 meters away, and quickly said to Ke Langde: "Ke Langde, the light cavalry are the fastest. You quickly lead the archers to the front to harass them and slow them down.  At such a speed, when our main force runs away, we will quickly catch up."

    "Yes!" Ke Langde nodded, worried more than 100 people, and ran towards the southeast.

    Lin Fenghan shouted to the surrounding cavalry again: "Ramus, Mayoden Let's get into battle formation and cross the plain north of Shenmu City as quickly as possible and run towards our camp."

    "yes!"

    Everyone nodded and acted quickly.
