    Chapter 11 Combat Deployment

    Outside the village of Stubb, numerous Elante troops arrived here intermittently. In the dark night, there was a bright water source and dry food supply station every 300 meters on the road. They were responsible for providing guidance and rest services to the lagging soldiers.

    At around 8 o'clock on March 7, Lin Fenghan walked tiredly along the road to the village of Stubb, which was built on a hill next to the forest. Under the guidance of the cavalry, he arrived at the frontline headquarters. Ramsay and Kolander had already arrived.  Waiting here for a long time.

    More than a dozen torches were burning in the tent in a tent of more than thirty square meters. On the four-meter-long table, Ramsay's adjutant had already assembled a map of Starlin's town and drew the town on another empty piece of paper.  The locations of each stronghold are marked.

    "Baron!"

    "Baron, you are here!"

    "The commander-in-chief is here!"

    Kelande rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Fenghan who looked tired. He pointed at the military map happily and said, "Baron, the white paper made by our Elant Paper Factory is really good. It has excellent toughness, folding resistance and writing ability."  There are more yellow papers than other kraft papers. I swear, even if we do nothing, we can become rich by selling these papers professionally and delivering them to surrounding areas."

    "hehe!"

    "Yeah?"

    Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, tied the cloak and put it on the hanger, and said with a happy smile: "Actually, we have many advantages that you haven't discovered yet. Becoming a rich man is the easiest thing. Haha!"

    "That's right! Hehe!"

    "hehe!"

    "Colander, Ramsay chuckled.  Then he pointed at the map seriously and said.

    "Baron, we have dispatched more than 500 light cavalry to conduct a rigorous reconnaissance of the surrounding area of ??about 10 kilometers. After losing several men, their size and number have also been estimated."

    "The town of Starling covers an area of ??about five square kilometers. There is a small two-meter-high earth wall inside. After they found us outside, they dug trenches and built wooden walls. Currently, many troops and nobles are stationed here to spend the night. According to us  According to a detailed investigation, the total number of militiamen, soldiers and knights exceeds more than 10,000, and the number of nobles and their servants and slaves in carriages is between 3,000 and 5,000, totaling nearly 10,000 people. If there is a war, the number of young men they can muster is at least 15,000.  .¡±

    "Oh! There are indeed many!"

    Lin Fenghan took a breath and looked at the few people seriously and said: "If we let them run down, when they arrive in Tacojen City the day after tomorrow, they will be able to gather at least 40,000 to 50,000 horses to face an enemy three times our size.  . No matter how high our combat effectiveness is, the outcome of the war will be difficult to calculate."

    ¡°It¡¯s not okay to continue like this, we can¡¯t give them a chance.¡±

    Lin Fenghan looked at the map, stepped back and forth with his chin in his hand and said: "Now they have about 5,000 regular soldiers, 5,000 noble attendants, 5,000 strong male militiamen, we have 2,000 cavalry here, and more than 5,000 super-pike infantry. There are 2 more behind them.  A regiment of longbow archers, a regiment of buckler swordsmen, 2 regiments of pikemen, an artillery regiment, a joint logistics and medical regiment, two regiments of urban infantry swordsmen, and two regiments of elite militia spearmen. The total number exceeds 17,000, which is a pity.  Our army marched all the way from Cape Watch City to here. Most of the town militia and newly formed militia were left behind, or taking care of the newly acquired territory. I don¡¯t know how many people will arrive here tomorrow. I  I think there must be at least 10,000 people!¡±

    "First let our soldiers here go to build camps for the brother troops who will follow. Build a canteen, and at the same time keep at least 200 people to detect the enemy's situation day and night. Let them escape overnight and wait for the arrival of the main army. I decided to  Fight here and try to eliminate the main infantry in Cape Watch City and other places before they gather."

    "Um!"

    "yes!"

    "I also think we have to do this."

    "Yes! Otherwise when we really face enemies that are several times our size, we will really be passive."

    "Yeah! Let's go check out the camp layout first!"

    ¡­¡­

    "I'm not leaving!"

    "I'm really tired!"

    "Take a day off!"

    "We have been traveling all day and night, and we are really exhausted."

    "yes!"

    At this time, many nobles and military officers were arguing in the Starlin town meeting room.

    Cape Seaview City Defense General Tutus looked at the people in front of him sternly, and said seriously to Viscount Lu Linsen: "Sir Viscount, we have completely evacuated Cape Seaview City, and we only need to walk another 40 kilometers to reach it.  Tamira City, a large city in the east, and usIn the east the vassals of the Duke of Brant united.  Just now, the cavalry regiment of the Elantra Army has pursued our rear and is stationed in the nearby village of Stubb. The situation is now very dangerous. I think we must leave here overnight.  "

    "Evacuate! Evacuate! Are you still running?"

    Lublin, the second son of Viscount Lulinsen, complained and pointed at his heels and said: "General Tutus, we have been traveling all day and night. Those untouchables have already complained and were dissatisfied. It is not them, even if I have been riding in a carriage for 24 hours.  , buttocks are almost swollen from the shock, and we are all mentally exhausted, what can we do if we take a little rest for a night?"

    "yes!"

    ¡°I rode a horse and now the skin on my inner thighs has been worn away and it¡¯s bleeding.¡±

    "What do you mean? I fell down once on the road because I was too tired, and my arm still hurts?"

    "General Tutus, although we country nobles are in good health, we are so tired after traveling for more than 12 hours in a row that we no longer want to leave."

    "We'd better stay and rest! Otherwise, if we continue like this, even if we reach Tamira City, we will get sick from exhaustion."

    ¡­¡­

    Many nobles complained together. Tutus and Heifer, who had wise strategic vision, looked at Lu Linsen, waiting for his final decision.

    Lu Linsen saw that everyone here was tired and unwilling to hurry, and he felt understanding in his heart. However, he looked at the anxious eyes of Tutus and Heifer, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I understand everyone's body and mood.  , I have also been on the road for a day, and the old bones in my body are falling apart, which is very uncomfortable."

    Heifer looked at the nobleman with a joyful face in surprise and said to Lu Linsen: "No way! Viscount!"

    Lu Linsen ignored Heifer and continued: "But the considerations of General Tutus and General Heifer were very correct. The Elant army behind us is indeed too powerful. Even though we have gathered more than 18,000 soldiers, we still have not won.  We must retreat and gather the main force, so that we can defeat Yiliu Yun and protect our wealth."

    "My Lord Viscount, it's starting to rain outside."

    "What?"

    "It's raining!"

    "Very good!"

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone looked outside the hall with abnormal thoughts, as the misty spring rain fell from the sky.
