At the same time, the successor armies on both sides were rapidly mobilizing Kiposa's brigades, and began to re-disband the barricades, forming their wagons in columns, and rushing towards the river where their cavalry was. The rest of the soldiers and horses of Hermes, who were further behind www.biquge.info also covered the entire wilderness, and rushed towards the place where the battle was taking place.

Gawain was also riding on the back of the black mare Sabina, and all the forbidden soldiers: Saxon, Armenian, and Danish warriors, were guarding him on all sides with long axes and iron spears, and walked side by side with the Holy Sister. Behind him were long and orderly columns of infantry, the Greiners, the Centurion Infantry of the Frontier People's Army, and the Pauline Believers, numbering about 8,000 men, advancing in four groups: two of them were in the ranks of the baggage wagons, and two of them were separated from each other, hurrying towards the hill and river to the northwest.

In this battle, Gawain valued the baggage car, and said that the previous attack on Fort Meritene North was a small-scale rehearsal of the rook tactics. Although Gawain did not like the soldiers to throw all their equipment on their vehicles, under his new military system, each regular brigade was equipped with 200 wheeled ship-shaped caravans, while the 400 wheelless pries and wagons that Agnes had previously directed were distributed to the border militia or civilian army. At this time, Gawain ordered all the baggage carts to be used by the soldiers on his own road, so that there were nearly 800 baggage carts of various colors, among which the ship-shaped caravans were transformed, and a row of four shooting holes was carved out on them, and the carriages on the back side could also be disassembled and placed for the soldiers to board. Donkeys or even sturdy goats (can pull light pry carts and carry carts)

In this way, after a long day of carrying the baggage convoy, all the soldiers came to the hill on the sand table, and the river followed it around the west and south, but the wilderness facing the north was a flat area, and the slope was very gentle, and the formation was strictly unsuitable for dealing with the enemy's offensive.

Gao Wenxian ordered the border army to catch up with all the vehicles, forming a barrier that was half a mile long along the half-moon shape of the entire hill.

This process is not too smooth, although the border army has qualified officers to spur (really with whips), but the level of knowledge is not high, but it is difficult for them to skillfully arrange so many wagons for a while, especially the regulations of the vehicles are not uniform, which increases the difficulty of this work.

According to Gao Wen's ideas and instructions, it is necessary to staggered the boat-type caravan and the back car and the pry car, but it is far from the case when it is busy, often the caravan and the caravan are close together, the back car and the pry car are connected together, the height is uneven, and some border people push the opponent's carriage board upside down, and as soon as it is opened, the board of the boarding car is directly turned outside, and it looks like a "open the door and steal" posture.

provoked Gawain to stand on the hillside holding the scepter, and was dissatisfied and unhappy with the sweaty border people.

General Aosen next to him hurriedly asked the chief guarantor how to remedy it, and Gawain also wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It doesn't make much sense to push down and rearrange again, now mobilize everyone to dig the earth, fill the baskets, and pile them on the frames and carriages of the back car and the pry car." ”

Leotius, the commander of the Pyrinogrete Corps, was clever, standing directly on the red hand flag cart behind the half-moon barrier, waving the flag and the horsewhip and commanding quickly: 400 pyrinologists dug tunnels on the anti-slope of the hill to put the Khitan snow box barrels into the fortress to prevent the enemy from arson and destruction; All the other firethrowers, and all the infantry of the border army, took out their T-shaped shovels, pickaxes, baskets, and other tools, and began to dig a long trench around the perimeter of the half-length barri.

The dust was flying, the figures were scattered, and the clanging sound resounded throughout the hills, and Kabeamia also ordered that all the 1,800 Paulians be divided into two groups (which was the limit of what the female consul could now mobilize), half of them were responsible for carrying baskets full of dirt, and piling them up and prigging them so that the vehicles were secured by a "low wall", and the other half were to smash into each of the half-moon barricades three hundred pointed stakes, two rows in front and behind, each about two and a half feet apart, In this way, a flank position of about 400 feet long was formed, and many earthen baskets were stuffed into the height of the wooden stakes, forming seven sections of "earthen basket walls", and every fifty feet apart was set aside a "gun position" for placing a flying fire copper clam or rocket barrel, and dozens of "Roma light artillery vehicles" were concentrated on the back and temporarily idle, for fear that the parabolic fire smashed in the melee would fall into their own team and cause accidental injury.

At dusk, the Oghuz cavalry regiment and the border cavalry in front, because they were "defeated" by the Kiposa cavalry, retreated several gulli, and approached the two flanks of the improvised "Chelai Mountain". The avant-garde of Potagna was relative.

Papu then addressed the rest of the Mujahideen and sent a report that "our side drove back the enemy's advance and successfully occupied the river."

Qasim, Harun and the others happily drove the rest of the "limbs" of about 60,000 pilgrims to overwhelmingly approach the location of the battlefield, diagonally opposite Gawain's Chelai Mountain, and the two armies faced each other at a distance of sight from each other about two miles away from each other.

"Behind the hill occupied by the enemy's barricades, there seems to be another river." Qasim asked.

"Yes, so they have nothing to fear." Papu replied.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"It should be more than five thousand, mostly infantry."

At this point, Qasim gestured and asked if he could send an army around the hill in a detour, threatening Melitene and threatening the back of the hill.

And on the hill, Gawain waved his hand and ordered, "The garrison team will board the wagon, and the rest of the men and horses will set up camp to rest!" His guards began to hang lanterns on the erected flagpoles, and in an instant the entire Chelai Mountain was lit up, illuminating the long night shadow of the camp, which seemed to make the hill seem to increase a lot, giving the Mujahideen a strong sense of oppression.

"It can be bypassed from both sides of this hill, but that should be tomorrow, and it is dangerous to detour at night, and we may be intercepted by the enemy, or ambushed." Another jihadist leader, Harun, reminded.

Eventually, the wilderness calmed down, and both sides began to set up camp, and the Mujahideen lit campfires along the river they occupied, and from the hills it looked like a bright Milky Way in the middle of the plateau, and Kabeamia was boarding a caravan with a plank up, and looking there with Gawain along the perforations of the van.

"That's the momentum of 70,000 people." There was a hint of awe in the Holy Sister's words.

"That's why I'm here." Gao Wen sighed, "I myself have to learn from the experience of such a battle formation. Behind the two were the firethrowers and Paulicians, all gathered behind their vehicles, camps, and flanking earthen basket walls, silently examining their weapons and preparing for what might be a fierce battle tomorrow.
