Section 31: Battle of Shenmu City (V)

Lin Fenghan and others also rode over and stretched out their thumbs to Spit and shouted: "Spit is doing well, but our position has also been exposed. This place is not suitable for attack. Let's change the position."

"It's almost ten o'clock now, and it's noon soon. The walls of Shenmu City are very strong and difficult to attack. This is a war that takes many days. Now we go back and find a good place to camp. When the catapult arrives in the afternoon, it's not too late to attack. The power of the catapult is too small compared to the catapult."

"Um!"

Everyone nodded.

At this time, two or three cavalry suddenly came around in the northeast direction, and quickly waved to Lin Fenghan and shouted: "Sir Baron, an army of five or six hundred people appeared five kilometers west of Shenmu City. Our reconnaissance cavalry has discovered them and are now coming back to report."

"What?"

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

Dawu frowned and said, "Baron, I guess their reinforcements are not just this wave, there are many behind them. They should be part of them, and some of them are coming to support them."

Rana straightened her body and said quickly: "Sir Baron, we will lead the fast cavalry troops to annihilate them now, and the army will defend the passage to the west and stop their reinforcements."

"Um!"

Lin Fenghan nodded in thought and said with a serious expression: "There are at least 4,000 soldiers in Shenmu City. More than 2,400 of us have gone to log wood. Now there are only 500 cavalry and more than 2,500 infantry left here, and the strength gap is far from them."

"But we can't wait for their reinforcements to arrive without any action. Kelanged, Mayoudon, and Persmi immediately informed our cavalry to assemble, and everyone should bring long-range projection weapons such as javelins, crossbows and arrows."

"Rana, Dawu, you two are here to cooperate with Colland to command the army to stabilize the situation and shock them. Rams and others will go first."

"Um!"

"Baron, be careful."

Everyone nodded and quickly commanded the troops.

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

"shelf!"

"shelf!"

"Run!"

...

More than 500 people brought a stream of smoke and dust, and bypassed the northeast wall and ran towards the hills of Shenmu City in the west.

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

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

"oh!"

Blair was stunned and smiled faintly, "I knew something was going to happen."

Blair pointed to the direction of the Elantra army outside the city and pointed: "They are only about 3,000 people on this battlefield now, and our Second Corps has more than 4,000 people to move. Now they are ready to stop our reinforcements, and it is time to teach them a lesson."

"General Bumishe, I order you to lead our cavalry and light infantry units to quickly support our reinforcements and to kill the cavalry of the Elantra army as much as possible, so that our reinforcements can enter the city safely."

"Yes!" Bamishe nodded without any dispute and ran towards the West with Blair's guard cavalry officer. Many messengers conveyed Blair's orders.

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

The chaotic sound of cavalry running attracted the attention of Lin Fenghan and others. At this time, Elantra's cavalry was 1.5 kilometers away from Shenmu City, less than 1,500 meters away from the reinforcements that were coming and going in the Second Legion.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fenghan turned around and looked at the cavalry troops running out behind him, decisively reached out and stopped moving forward, shouting: "The whole army returns!"

"All of them return!"

"All of them return!"

...

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

"Yes! After we killed more than half of the people, we couldn't run away. We were blocked by reinforcements from Shenmu City. At least more than half of the brothers must stay here." Lin Fenghan looked at Rams with a bad color and said, "We are the most elite cavalry unit and a group of infantry units fighting each other for the number of people. This is meaningless."

"The war we are going to fight is not a war of attrition. It is meaningless to fight hard against the enemy. Let's retreat and camp first, and wait in the evening to see if Blair has the courage to fight us after receiving reinforcements."

"Oh!" Rams smiled dryly and patted his head, leaving on his own without any fun.

Bumixiu, who was riding on the war horse, found Lin Fenghan among the cavalry on the high slope outside the west gate of Shenmu City, and said excitedly: "Yuyun, I saw him."

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

Brati prompted quickly: "General, their troops are turning around and preparing to go back. Our team has just gathered together. Can we block them?"

"We have more than 400 cavalrymen, and as long as we run quickly, we should be able to block them."

"I will lead the cavalry to attack first. You will inform the centurion on the north wall and let them lead their men out of the north gate quickly and block the road outside the city gate. As long as they block their elite cavalry and kill Yi Liuyun, the entire battle will be completely over."

"yes!"

Brati nodded excitedly and rode happily towards the north gate.

More than 400 cavalrymen from the Second Legion of Shenmu City, carrying a stream of smoke and dust, rushed down the hillside quickly and ran towards the Elantra cavalry team.

"My grass, this group of rookies didn't even gather in a team, so they led people to come over to seek death." Rams 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 series of cavalrymen walking out of the city gate 800 meters away and quickly said to Ke Langde: "Ke Langde, the light cavalry runs the fastest speed. You quickly lead the archers to harass them in front and slow down their speed. When our main force runs away, you will quickly follow up."

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

Lin Fenghan shouted to the surrounding cavalry again: "Rams, Mayoudon... Everyone is in a battle formation, and they will cross the plain north of Shenmu City as fast as possible and run towards our camp."

"yes!"

Everyone nodded and moved quickly.
