    Section 12 Battle of Starling Town (1)

    "it's raining outside."

    "What?"

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out and have a look together!¡±

    Lin Fenghan looked up at the sky outside the Elantra Army Stubb Village Headquarters and touched some raindrops with his hand, and sighed: "This rain doesn't seem to be heavy. I don't know if it will be sunny tomorrow."

    Ramsay looked at the spring rain and sighed: "Hey! I am going to do a big job tomorrow, but now it seems that it is an extravagant hope. According to past seasonal experience, although this spring rain is not heavy at first, it can continue for several days.  God, no one can predict the amount of rain. After it rains, the ground becomes soft and sparse, making it difficult to walk even on the official roads of the kingdom. We may have to spend several days here."

    "Damn it." Ma Youden shook his hands angrily and said, "Wouldn't it mean that the nobles in the east have more time to gather together to transport supplies? This God is so short-sighted!"

    "No!"

    Lin Fenghan shook his head and said: "You can't say that. This rain is a test for us, and it is also a test for the nobles. Their carriages and salutes cannot be mixed well. They have to stay in Starling Town during the rainy season.  In this way, some of the people behind us can have a good rest after arriving here.¡±

    "This rain is God's test of the will of both of us. Whoever among us can overcome the obstacles of heavy rain will win the war."

    "Brothers, let us face tomorrow bravely! Only strong-willed and unyielding warriors can achieve the final victory of the war. In this war. There is no doubt that we will win. Let us cheer together  Bar!"

    ¡°Long live Elantes!¡±

    ¡°Long live Elantes!¡±

    ¡°Long live Elantes!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan, Ramsay, Vera, and Collander shouted passionately together.

    The spring rain filled the town of Starlin with joy. All the militiamen and servants who were responsible for rushing, carrying goods, and walking forty or fifty kilometers finally had time to rest. This spring rain changed the plans of the nobles.  Let both parties wait in this environment.

    The drizzle made the troops lagging behind anxious. They arrived at the village of Stubb at around ten o'clock and twelve o'clock respectively. At eight o'clock in the morning on March 8th the next day, Lin Fenghan and others gathered at the headquarters.

    Wearing a raincoat made of wheat straw, Lana rubbed his hands and looked at the people in the command room and said: "Baron, I just counted the troops. Almost all the men and horses of our main Elantra army have arrived. Only a small half of Spit's artillery has arrived.  .¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do!¡±

    Spit nodded his forehead in frustration and stretched out his hand and said: "My troops carried a total of 20 ballistae, 20 trebuchets, and 10 large siege catapults. Even if it didn't rain last night, our brothers pushed hundreds and thousands of  It¡¯s uncomfortable to carry heavy and heavy things, not to mention it¡¯s raining now, even if these catapults are transported separately. They are still very heavy!¡±

    "Yes! Yes!" Ke Lande nodded in agreement and said to Lin Fenghan: "We currently have an army of more than 12,000 people stationed near the village. Since we are attacking quickly, everyone is lightly armed and marching more quickly.  That¡¯s right. The brothers only carried three or four days¡¯ worth of food.¡±

    "Due to limited roads, our roads were mainly used for infantry marches yesterday. The important logistical food supply carriages were far behind for more than 20 kilometers. Now it is raining and rainy, and the dirt and gravel roads are very soft. Our heavy-duty vehicles  The supply wagons can't move at all, and the food can only be delivered bit by bit through the livestock carriers. According to my calculation just now, if the rain doesn't stop, our 10,000-strong army will be cut off after staying here for seven days at most.  forage."

    "What?"

    Lin Fenghan touched his chin and said: "The interruption of food and grass is a big problem!"

    "Yes!"

    Ramsay nodded solemnly, looked at Lin Fenghan seriously and said: "In fact, our cavalry troops consume the most food and grass. It doesn't matter if our soldiers eat less food, but if our high-quality war horses do not eat soybeans and wheat refined grains for a long time, they will  Then it must be very weak and sluggish. Once our war horses become thin, it will take several weeks to regain their strength, which is particularly troublesome."

    "Yes!"

    Kelande walked in from the hall with a tired look and said in a sigh: "It was really hard for me yesterday to protect our precious war horses from the drizzle. I arranged for more than 2,300 war horses to enter the dormitory to protect them from the rain.  I was almost scolded to death by others.¡±

    "You deserve to be scolded!"

    Ma Youdun slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Baron, many of our brothers behind us are sleeping in tents, evenThe tents were full and there was no place to live. When this guy arrived, he forcibly requisitioned many villagers' houses and arranged war horses in the sheds.  Damn it, more than 1,000 people came from behind and slept together with the horses. You think it's really annoying.  "

    "Forehead!"

    Lin Fenghan looked at the awkward-looking Rams and Kelande with confusion, then at the complaining Ma Youden, Lu Mengton, Lanska and others, and said with understanding: "This matter is my fault.  , In the past, we fought on a small scale, but now the army marches with more than 10,000 people. Many ill-considered problems have been exposed, and I will make corrections in the future."

    "The original intention of Ramsay and Colande is also for everyone's good. We must rely on the cavalry troops for cover when fighting. If the cavalry does not have good horses, then they will definitely be at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced.  will affect the success or failure of the war."

    "As for the living sheds, everyone is helpless, but don't worry, we will try our best to transport the materials and tents from behind, and the tent camping problem will definitely come to a perfect ending."

    "Spitter, Mayoden, have your infantry withdraw from the tents immediately. Ramsay, Collander, you two give some of your tents to other brother groups, and at least send your full regiment.  One-third of the people live in stables and look after the horses.¡±

    "ah!"

    "No way!"

    "I'm dizzy!"

    "hey-hey!"

    "Ha ha!"

    ¡­¡­

    The officers all snickered looking at the surprised expressions of the two men.

    Lin Fenghan coughed twice and looked at everyone seriously, and said seriously: "Brothers, although it is raining outside, the current situation is still not under the control of the outside world. Viscount Lu Linsen and others in Starling Town may lead the army at any time  Escape, so we have to take the initiative on rainy days.¡±

    "Now everyone go back and urge your troops to eat well, prepare weapons, and keep their spirits up. I will form an attack formation around 10 o'clock. You go back and prepare!"

    "ah!"

    "No way!"

    "I'm dizzy!"

    "Baron, it's raining!"

    "How do you want us to explain it to our brothers?"
