    Section 11 Construction Works

    "In addition to the cavalry regiment and artillery regiment on duty, each infantry regiment is responsible for one kilometer of tunnel fortifications. The commander-in-chief requires everyone to establish the first line of defense before nine o'clock tomorrow. If you cannot complete the task, you will not eat." The guard messenger said to him.  The commanders of each infantry regiment gave orders.

    After receiving the order, the commanders of many infantry regiments assigned 700 people to dig trenches, 200 people to harvest timber, and 100 people to build tent camps. The entire Elant army was busy, but the cavalry on horseback felt the most at ease.  , the small and limited infantry engineer shovels simply could not support such huge fortifications. Many generals arranged for fast heavy cavalry to go to various households in surrounding villages and towns to collect hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools.

    The artillery regiments that arrived behind Elantes brought trebuchets and trebuchets intermittently to the east front line and gathered with the bronze naval artillery and naval artillery units in the front row.

    In the distance, on the pavilion in the east center of Ramis City, Count Ramiler stood nervously on the tower, looking at the situation in the distance in surprise, and asked the people around him: "The Elantians have arrived for so long, they  Why not attack? What are you doing next to the Ramis River in the northeast?"

    "yes!"

    "We are also confused!"

    General Palaris looked gloomily at the vast expanse of densely packed Elantes infantry in front of him. He frowned and said, "My lord, I think that when the Elantes fleet and infantry arrive here in the morning, you should notify the fleet in the distance to launch an attack."  , our infantry troops all went out of the city to destroy their landing army and attack their arrogance."

    Infantry General Chersted shook his head and said: "They only landed a small number of troops in the morning, and their naval warships were completely lined up offshore to prepare for war. If we send a large group of troops, we will be bombarded after all. If we send a small group, we will definitely not be able to defeat them hiding in a small town."  The Elantes troops under protection. In the final analysis, the ultimate reason is that we don¡¯t have bronze cannons! If we have such weapons to arm the navy, why bother installing Sun Tzu here.¡±

    "Yes."

    General Colelis Cavalry said: "Although we delayed a small part of the opportunity because we were not familiar with the intelligence. But now we are fully prepared. Even the bronze cannons on the defenses of our city wall are difficult to shake. The weapons we deployed on the city wall  Archers and defensive facilities can easily repel the siege infantry. Even if the bronze cannons open a few gaps, under the command of our rigorously trained elite officer knights, the surrounding infantry can fearlessly go to the gaps to assist. Even if they  After mobilizing all our troops to break one of our walls, we can still retreat to the defense of the second wall. As long as we can defend for a week and a half, with this morale, Duke Brant, who has taken over our war, will definitely mobilize surrounding troops to fight.  , at that time we were attacking the Elantes army both inside and outside the city, and even if Yi Liuyun had great talent, we would be defeated."

    "Yes."

    Count Lamie nodded boldly and said confidently: "We may not be as good as the Elantes troops in terms of offense, but in terms of defense, our city can mobilize more than 50,000 adult men to defend the city, and it is absolutely impossible for them to belong to them. As long as we can hold up here  ~The attack of the Elantes. Then after Duke Brant arrives, the armies of both sides attack from both sides and will beat Elantes hard. When the news of Elantes' failure comes, then His Majesty the King will lead the northern army at all costs  Destroy them."

    Semelina raised her neck and looked at the mounds of soil and soot in the distance. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "You are all very good in your calculations, but I seem to see Illantes' army camping in the eastern area of ??the Ramis River.  Now they are building military fortifications. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange?¡±

    "It's a little strange!"

    The cavalry general Koleles said in confusion: "Why don't they camp in the east of the Lamis River? You must know that the average width of the Lamis River is more than 1,000 meters. Although the river is very shallow, only five to more than ten meters, large warships cannot cross. But the infantry wants to  It still takes some distance to get to the city of Lamis through the Lamis River. He set up the military camp to the east of the Lamis River to attack the city of Lamis to the west. It is a bit unreasonable!"

    "yes!"

    Count Ramelle looked at the tall and charismatic Semerina looking into the distance. He stood on tiptoes and followed the afterglow of the sun to look at the Erantes army in front of the horizon in the distance. He nodded doubtfully and said: "The strangest thing to me is that they are not here in the seventh century."  They set up camp in the seaport town of Lamis eight kilometers away, but instead took the infantry regiment to establish a small military camp on the road three kilometers east of our city of Lamis. This really confused me."

    "Yes."

    General Ramis nodded in confusion and said slightly soberly: "It's terrible for them to do this."?I guess I did this because I predicted that the army would arrive from the north.  "

    "So what if Yi Liuyun can know the war plan between me and Duke Brandt? General Mozartel has made an agreement with us. As long as the Yilan people don't attack the city, they will shrink in the town a hundred kilometers away.  Move. If the Elantes find the location of Duke Brandt's troops and pursue them, then our army will go out of the city and follow behind the Elantes' army, allowing them to block them from the front and back. It will be uncomfortable for both sides, and we will rely on the city's defense to wear them out."

    ? ? Earl LaMille grasped his palm tightly and said harshly.  When everyone heard it, they all felt that it made sense.  Kolleris took the opportunity and said to Count Lamie: "Your Majesty, their infantry is now divided into two parts. Our warships cannot be dispatched because they are lagging behind, and large-scale infantry cannot take advantage of this to attack near the Ramis River. But we  There is no limit to the cavalry. Now they are building camps both east and west of the Ramis River. At this time, we can send our light cavalry troops to harass the scattered soldiers who are cutting wood near them. The archer cavalry can also go to  They harassed them with long-range arrows outside their camp, preventing them from concentrating on their work and wasting their siege time."

    "good!"

    "good!"

    Everyone nodded in agreement. Count Lamie thought about it seriously and waved his hand quickly: "Okay! All 3,000 cavalry are at your disposal. You can dispatch them at will according to the situation, but remember that the cavalry casualties must not exceed 500."  , if the number exceeds 500, withdraw the cavalry.¡±

    "yes!"

    Colelis, who was born as a knight, nodded happily, took the order, called several cavalry generals around him and ran towards the bottom of the city wall.

    Around 0:00 on July 15, most of the military camp in the northeast of Elantes had been built, while the military camp in the east near the city of Ramis was very busy due to the attack of the Ramis cavalry.  Just build small sections.  After hearing this, Lin Fenghan was angry and dispatched 5,000 troops. Together with the navy's 2,000 infantry and 1,000 sailors, they also helped work here. They transported tree supplies from the east to the eastern bunker of Ramis City and stationed themselves here. They started working at full strength until late at night.  , still lighting torches and building earth wall fortifications.

    At this time, most of the eastern military camp of Elantes has been built.  This military camp bunker is 1,000 meters long from east to west.  It is 700 meters wide from north to south.  There are three trenches outside except for specific roads. Each trench is three meters deep and three meters wide. Above the third trench, which is five meters long and extra long, is an earth wall built with piles of earth and tree stumps. The earth wall is five meters above the ground and higher than the bottom of the trench.  8 meters.  It is three meters wide from front to back, and an arrow tower is built every 100 meters. Numerous widened and lengthened ballista turrets, trebuchet turrets, and catapult turrets are left on the city wall.

    Inside the earthen wall are military camps, supply warehouses, and the central command headquarters.  In the utility room of the canteen, two diagonal canals with a depth of two meters and a width of two meters in the north and south bear the functions of water supply and drainage channels.  At this time, the Central Command was discussing camp affairs. Everyone involved in tomorrow's army attack period and numbering matters suddenly heard the arrival of an intelligence messenger from the east coast.

    "According to the head of state Liuyun, General Colander sent the latest intelligence about the Stewa area. It said that Baron Stewa led the troops to defend the town, while the urban troops in the surrounding areas have moved south. According to rumors and we have placed them in the villages and towns  According to spies¡¯ reports, these troops may number 20,000 or more than 30,000. And they have arrived in the area north of Ramis city very early. I don¡¯t know where they are now.¡±

    "ah!"

    "Their troops really went south."

    "Duke Brant is indeed not a fool."

    Admiral Bolasjo laughed and looked at the embarrassed Lana and said: "Now do you know why the Baron has to work hard and expend the physical strength of the soldiers to build a strong camp? As long as we build a strong camp within this period of time  , then we will be able to sacrifice less in battles in the future. Later, I will issue auxiliary warship mobilization information to Haisha City in the Ilantis Islands, asking them to mobilize 50 medium-sized merchant transport ships and 30 large-scale resource ships.  Transport ships, 20 large warships, mobilized a lot of supplies to come here."

    "Um!"

    "Although it is troublesome to mobilize a fleet to carry food and recruit sailors. But it is better to be safe."

    Lin Fenghan nodded in agreement and said seriously: "This battle is getting more and more complicated, and it is difficult for me to grasp the situation on the scene now, so we must make the worst plan. As long as our two military camps are connected to Ramis  Rivers. Our naval warships control the offshore area and the Ramis River, so our two armies can continuously receive material supplies and soldier supplies. The two bunker military camps can also rely on the transportation of warships back and forth to support the two parties and play a role in  A greater advantage. Lana, you immediately tell many soldiers the news that Duke Brant¡¯s army is about to move south, so that they can work harder if they don¡¯t want to die."

    ? "yes!"

    Rana nodded shamefully and ordered the many soldiers around him to shout at the soldiers who were working incessantly inside and outside the camp.

    "It's getting very late now. Let's all go back and have a good rest. If there is no news from the northern army tomorrow afternoon, I plan to attack Ramis City."

    "Okay, I'm leaving."

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    The generals, officers, and secretaries who were on duty here left one after another.

    "This battle is getting more and more complicated. Forget it, as long as we stop working hard, we will definitely not fail." Lin Fenghan walked out of the commander's tent built on the slope, looked at the moon in the sky and walked towards the tent next to him.

    At seven o'clock in the morning on July 15th, in the military camp east and northeast of the Elan Teslamis River, they went to bed at one o'clock at night. Many soldiers who changed shifts got up to eat under the urging of the centurion, and continued to work hard on the projects left yesterday.  stand up.  Without exception, Kolleris brought his light cavalry troops to provoke a sneak attack outside the eastern bunker. The Elantes troops who had already mobilized all the heavy cavalry here formed groups to fight back. The small fleet on the riverside  Terrified, Koleles, who did not dare to engage in a large-scale battle, could only withdraw most of the cavalry troops, leaving the elite horse archers to continue to take advantage of the opportunity to make sneak attacks and harass them endlessly.

    "God! We worked so hard! We finally dug the fortifications, and now those bastards will never come again."

    "Yeah! I almost got an arrow in my knee, those Ramis cavalry were really too strong."

    "It disgusts me. Just run away after shooting. We wear leather armor to work without heavy equipment protection, and our pulley longbowmen may not be able to shoot through their armor, grandma."

    "The trenches on the west, north, and south sides have finally been completely excavated. I am exhausted. I can finally rest for a while. I have never been so tired since I joined the Elantes Army."

    "yes!"

    ¡°I¡¯m very excited and scared when I¡¯m shooting and fighting. It seems like I can¡¯t use up all my strength, but I feel uncomfortable when digging tunnels. I always feel that the soil is too hard!¡±

    "Hey! Forget it, the captain is here."

    More than a dozen young soldiers who had spent the morning excavating soil and sand on the Arrow Tower mound were talking.  Suddenly seeing Browner walking out of the center of the military camp, they all shut up.

    "Have you guys finished your work? When you're done, hurry up and go down to the south. From the south, we need to transport sand and gravel to cover our earthen walls to increase our defense. All the infantry of your hundred-man team will be transferred to work."

    "ah!"

    "No way!"

    ¡°God just let us rest for a while!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m dizzy, why am I so unlucky!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Many soldiers in the surrounding area complained bitterly.

    The commander of the fifth regiment of the Archers, Vasla, who had outstanding military achievements, looked at his frowning subordinates and said considerately to Browner: "Browner, the centurions of my regiment have been working continuously for six hours. Let them rest first.  It¡¯s not too late to take a break and have some food before starting work in an hour.¡±

    "good!"

    Browner nodded cheerfully and smiled: "Since you have spoken, brother, how can I object? Even if the baron asks about the situation, the baron will not have any objection to your arrangement with your outstanding military exploits."

    "You! Just say something nice."

    Vasla, who had outstanding military exploits and never showed off his attacks, shook his head with a wry smile, pointed at the burly Browner and said.

    "Haha! Let's go eat. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the baron will arrange for the artillery regiment to go 1,000 meters outside the east gate of Ramis to fire continuously. Our main force will arrive to hold down the formation to prevent them from counterattack. According to the battle situation, the war  It may start.¡±

    At this time, Lin Fenghan stood in the army barracks in the northeast corner and quietly looked at the situation below.  The total number of sailors, oarsmen, logistics militia, and naval regiment infantry of the Elantes Army's Southern Fleet is close to 3,000.  When Elantes arrived, the main army near the city of Ramis totaled 36,000 people. Including the servant militia regiments recruited in nearby battles, the total number was more than 4,000 people, plus the help of nearby villagers.  With the joint efforts of more than 45,000 people, after more than 20 hours of work and consuming a lot of fuel and wood stocks in surrounding rural towns, two sturdy military camps are finally nearing completion.

    At this time, Lin Fenghan looked at the large and busy military camp.  Facing Aishina next to them, Iona and others asked: "Now that our military camp in the northeast corner is about to be completed, how about you evaluate this military camp through the eyes of the two of you."

    Iona first puffed up her chest and said quickly: "This military camp is full of mud, and the soldiers inside are like clay figures, with the addition of ashes.The fluffy tents and the dirty ground were so ugly. If there were more than two-fifths of the area under our feet with grass, I really thought we were standing in a desert now.  "

    Aishina looked around carefully and said slowly: "The many trenches you sent people to dig are all traps except for the main roads and areas. These fortifications can block the group charge of many cavalry and infantry.  Our archers can stand on the city wall and easily shoot them from a long distance using height. However, they did not move forward because of the first ditch 200 meters away, thus letting go of their plan to quickly attack the flanks of our camp. Relying on assumptions  With the catapults on the city wall and the intersecting tree stump tips inside the third trench, this kind of camp can withstand at least a three-hour all-out attack by tens of thousands of people. Although the northeast corner camp has a rough and unsightly appearance, it has intersecting interiors.  The permanent river channels, drainage ditches, and camp are all constructed very reasonably, making it a durable temporary military camp.¡±

    "Ha ha!"

    Lin Fenghan stretched out his right hand and patted Aixina heavily on the shoulder, and said loudly: "I like smart and down-to-earth women. A military camp is not a town. It doesn't need to be too fancy, as long as it can block the attack and prevent the enemy from advancing."

    "Hateful, are you saying I'm stupid? I'll strangle you to death." Iona looked at Lin Fenghan who was laughing, and angrily stretched out her hands to hit Lin Fenghan.

    "Haha! With such big breasts, do you think you are stupid?"

    Lin Fenghan laughed and hugged Iona, looked into the deep blue eyes, touched her chest, and pointed at her heart.

    "I'm so angry that I have to bite you to death."

    "Ha ha!"

    Lin Fenghan laughed and ran quickly towards the canteen. Many attendants shook their heads and followed.

    At the ferry of the Ramis River, the auxiliary ships of the Elantes Navy dropped their anchors, waiting for the prepared Elantes soldiers to upload, step by step, transporting the army from the northeast to the east camp, waiting for the afternoon siege.  .
