At around one o¡¯clock in the afternoon on March 28, after taking a half-day break, Lin Fenghan and others gathered at the Sutterson Lane Town Hall for a meeting to discuss. // //
"Baron, General Coland has led the light cavalry to capture many prisoners, and many prisoners escaped quietly along the way. General Rams' cavalry also captured many prisoners, and learned the lesson from the light cavalry encounter ahead. , General Ramsay strictly dispatched heavy cavalry troops to guard the prisoners, and waited until our infantry came to take over. Currently, General Ramsay and General Collander are camped in the town of Starling near Cape Watch on the front line, and established there After entering the tight prisoner camp, our two swordsman infantry regiments have set off. They sent back reports that many troops have retreated back to the city of Cape Watch. Some scattered soldiers ran towards the towns to the west, and some noble soldiers ran away. Running towards the villages and towns to the north, many of our scouts discovered that some of them were sailors driving fishing boats to escape to the northern continent, some were paying nearby fishermen to help them, and some were waiting for northern merchant ships and fishing boats to escape. There are all kinds of situations.¡±
"oh!"
Lin Fenghan rubbed his chin and said: "This group of people does have many ways to escape! Immediately send troops north and send cavalry to inform the residents and villages along the coast to issue a tight sea order and block the north-south passage. Anyone who dares to go to sea in the near future will be charged with treason." Punishment.¡±
"Also, I suspect that many of this group of people must be preparing to escape along the coastline towards the Duchy of Brandt in the west. We must tell Stadoff and others at the Takojian Fort and order them to hold on to the fort. , intercept the few enemies that can be intercepted on the spot. If you encounter too many enemies, do not leave the city. Let them leave."
"Um!"
"good!"
??Keland nodded and said: "I will write to them right away."
Lin Fenghan looked at the secretary Beimina who drafted the document and nodded. He continued to speak to everyone: "Currently our entire army is scattered in various places and is constrained by various tasks. The field troops that can be gathered now are close to 40,000 people. However, we have to face a lot of material situations, so I plan to lead The troops of the 25th regiment quickly moved north to occupy the city of Cape Watch and prevent them from routing."
"kindness!"
Mayton said: "Baron, we should also inform the naval forces quickly. And fully mobilize all our resting naval forces, conduct intensive patrols along the coast, help our army detect the situation, and at the same time supply us with cover to support the army. , the speed of ships is much faster than that of horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies on land.¡±
"Um!"
"That makes sense!"
"Ma Youdun, you have made a lot of progress recently." Lin Fenghan praised with his thumb raised in surprise.
"I am over-flattered!"
Ma Youdun said with a sweet smile: "This is all the teachings of the Baron and General Colander. I have participated in many command meetings. I understand many things that I couldn't understand before, and I have figured out all the things that I couldn't figure out. I found that all kinds of operations, campaigns, and tactical arrangements are all related and identical to each other."
"Um!"
"very good!"
Lin Fenghan smiled and nodded and looked at Vera. Among the many regiment leaders who were doing this, the centurion said seriously: "I hope you will make rapid progress like Ma Youdun. In the coming days, we will attack more than just one country and one nation. I hope you will learn quickly by my side." Strategic command, tactical command, military affairs, government affairs and other talents, in this way I can safely appoint you as the governor of the urban area and the general commander of each defense zone."
"Yeah?"
Farab, Rafa and other centurions and centurions nodded with bright eyes.
Lin Fenghan looked at the happy and laughing crowd and smiled slightly, and said quickly: "Now everyone go back and quickly gather the troops. The spearmen and swordsmen are responsible for the logistics and carriage escort. The other field troops are equipped with five days of dry food. We will set off in the afternoon."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Everyone nodded and walked out one after another.
Lin Fenghan looked at the people leaving, turned to Jin Xiya who was sitting next to him, and said: "Jin Xiya, you want to build a mausoleum near the battlefield of Sutterson Town to bury Elena, and go to Waterdeep City and Shenmu City. , Cape View City is looking for the most outstanding architectural experts. You can come to me directly for all the drawings and finances of this project. At the same time, go find Elena¡¯s family. I will officially bury her when the mausoleum is built. Now I hope her family can come and see her one last time to give her blessings and rest in peace."
"Yes!" Jin Xiya nodded lightly.
Lin Feng??A burst of sadness suddenly burst out in his heart. He looked up towards the north and said softly: "Reinhardt, I don't know if your father will be sad when he sees your body, but my heart does hurt."
On March 29, the aristocratic army that arrived at the city of Cape Watch through various roads, under the leadership of the royal general Chaddis Reelen and the aristocratic general Elfasri, accepted the king's order and headed west with reorganized troops. Viscount Julali was informed by the insiders of the royal court, and quickly returned to Uriwan City by boat with a small army and fleet loyal to him, where he laid out defenses, recruited troops, gathered his treasures, and looked at the nearest situation.

However, due to the internal and external riots last night, more than 2,000 people escaped. There are still more than 6,000 people detained.¡±

However, these fortifications stopped at noon yesterday. There are numerous scattered in the coastal villages and towns to the north of us. Among the soldiers, most of the nobles in the royal army have been picked up by the coastal fleet. According to the news detected by our reconnaissance cavalry, the fleet of Viscount Julali played a huge role in picking up the nobles. According to the captured soldiers After asking, the remaining troops are basically some noble officers and soldiers and militia leaders."
"Report!"
A young cavalryman carrying a green leafy branch ran to the headquarters panting.
"What's the news? Tell me quickly!"
"Report!" the light cavalry said nervously, panting: "We found a huge team fifteen kilometers north of Starling Town. The soldiers were densely packed and I don't know how long they were. They ran towards the west with their carriages. We The men and horses were expelled as soon as they were discovered. According to the squadron leader¡¯s continuous investigation, it was discovered that this huge marching team set off from Cape Watch, and they marched for an unknown period of time. After observing the situation, the squadron leader quickly sent me back. Moreover, according to the report of another team of light cavalry who came along the way, the city of Cape Watch was constantly smoking four hours ago. At first, I thought they were cooking. Later, they were discovered based on the fleeing people and the captured soldiers. Materials are being burned in batches.¡±
"What?"
Ramsay, Kelande, Lin Fenghan and others quickly stood up and said in surprise.
Ramsay grabbed the sword with a solemn expression and said to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, it seems they have taken action. We must stop them from burning supplies and preserve the property of Cape Watch City as much as possible."
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan nodded solemnly and said to Ke Lande and others: "Their troops are now marching collectively to the west, and there must be remnants of troops in the city of Cape Watch to the east. I decided to divide the troops into two groups. . General Colander led a thousand-man cavalry regiment, two super pikemen phalanx regiments, and two swordsman infantry regiments toward the city of Cape Watch."
"Colande, Rams, Mayton, Lana, Davout and others led 22 regiments of troops to intercept their army. The remaining three pike regiments and a swordsman regiment were responsible for guarding the prisoners. , escorting logistics supplies.¡±

¡°Damn it!¡±
"We just rested for more than 20 minutes, and we have to gather together before we have eaten. This is such a bastard!"
"hurry up!"
"hurry up!"
"You idiot, who are you complaining about? Who told you to run slowly and fall behind? We are here now. You see, we have all eaten and slept!"
¡¡
Amidst the screams and curses, the infantry troops who had been traveling for a long time and had not rested well gathered together. Many cavalry and infantry put on their armors, picked up their weapons, prepared dry food, and ran towards the scheduled battlefield of the Centurion.
"The commander-in-chief ordered that each centurion member should bring three days of rations and assemble quickly."
