When the bloodied Colenwa, Rogson and Shante met on the north bank of the Marshall River, after more than a month of development, Colenwa finally showed a real smile, which was a rare surprise for this strict and unsmiling general.

Colenwa said to Rogson: "General Rogson, you disobey orders on the battlefield and deserve to be punished. Although I am the commander-in-chief of operations, you are not my subordinate after all, and besides, this victory is all due to you, and I have no reason to punish you. When I first met Mr. Higg, Fuxing City was just a small den of thieves, but I didn't expect that in less than two years, Fuxing City would be able to take charge on its own! ”

Rogson also smiled and asked, "I wonder if General Colunva is more happy or worried when he sees the situation in Fuxing City today?" ”

Colenwa laughed and said, "Hahaha, you and I are fighting together, and we are allies loyal to Her Majesty, and of course I want Fuxing City to be strong. General Rogson asked so directly, I had to say, what is worried about is His Majesty's business, what does it have to do with us? Hahaha! ”

Charlie had ordered six pontoon bridges to be built at the same time, and he himself crossed the riverbank, came to Colenva's side, saluted, and said, "General Colenva, offended!" ”

Colenwa stepped forward to hold Charlie's hand and said with a smile: "General Charlie, if you let go of your mouth a little last night and let me cross the river, I'm afraid there will be no such victory, it's really scary to think about it, hahaha!" Now, can I cross the river? ”

Charlie said with a smile: "I have built a total of six pontoon bridges, three of which lead from the south bank to the north bank, so that the people and carriages can cross the river to help clean up the battlefield, and the other three will be arranged by the general!" ”

Kolenwa turned to the herald beside him and said, "Arrange for the wounded soldiers to cross the river first, and the rest of the personnel will clean up the battlefield immediately, be quick!" ”

Shante stepped forward and said to Kolenwa: "General, except for a few strongholds in the west, I have removed all the scattered sergeants who are free, and tomorrow there will be 10,000 people, all of whom will return to the city of Mithland, please arrange it!" ”

Colenva nodded and said, "Let them reinforce the east!" With General Rogson and I sitting here, Marshal Samp should hurry up and write a suicide note, hahaha! Then he turned to the guards beside him and said, "Build a big tent for the Chinese army here immediately!" ”

Charlie asked suspiciously, "The general is not a river?" ”

Colenva didn't answer Charlie's words, looked at Rogson, and asked, "General Rogson, you can't cross the river?" ”

Rogson shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm taking cavalry, what are you doing crossing the river?" The vast plains on the north bank of the river are my battlefield! ”

Colenva smiled and asked, "General Rogson, do you have any defense?" ”

Rogson smiled: "The general already has a way, why do you need to ask me?" ”

"Map!" Colenwa shouted.

The guards immediately placed a map in sheepskin in front of Colenva, who smiled at Rogson: "I want to hand over the remaining 2,000 light cavalry of the Chinese army to General Rogson, can the general see enough?" ”

Rogson smiled: "Of course, the more the better, plus mine has six thousand, I can barely try!" ”

Colenwa said: "My plan is, first, General Rogson will leave the heavy cavalry, take all the light cavalry, and attack Samp's rear exclusively!" 2. Shante and Charlie each led 2,000 infantry and 1,000 crossbowmen, and hid in the dense forest on the north bank of the river! 3. My Chinese army camp tent is left on the north bank, leaving 5,000 people to guard it! Fourth, the others crossed to the south bank of the river and organized a defense along the river! ”

Charlie asked: "Your Excellency, we only have more than 40,000 troops left, and if we disperse like this, how can we fight?" ”

Colenwa said: "After this defeat, Sampu will definitely gather heavy troops, Masirt and the fortress to the north have been lost, if the army attacking the fortress is also concentrated, Sampu still has nearly 300,000 troops, even if we don't divide the army, more than 40,000 people, what can we do?" However, if Samp wants to assemble it all, it will definitely not be possible without five or six days, so we still have time to deploy!

"General Rogson's 6,000 cavalry will definitely give Sampu a headache, he wants to assemble them all, we just let him divide his troops to pursue General Rogson, and we have to leave troops to defend Marsilt City, his baggage and grain and grass also need to be heavily guarded, so these 6,000 cavalry can contain a lot of troops! It's also dangerous to do that, but I'm sure General Rogson can do it!

"Colonel Shante and General Charlie hid in the dense forest, and arranged more battle flags in the dense forest, so that Samp did not know how many ambushes there were inside, so that he had to be on guard!"

Shante said: "General, this season is rainy, although I am not afraid of fire, but there are too many poisonous insects and miasma in the woods, and the vines and shrubs are too dense to penetrate at all!" ”

Colenwa laughed: "Don't we have a few more days? Recruit people, open a few paths into the middle of the dense forest, find a place to clear all the trees and vegetation inside, sprinkle sulfur lime, and set up tents! Hehe, what poisonous insect miasma are you afraid of! ”

Colenva pointed to the map and said, "These dense forests, you have to do this." That way, you can swap places around the jungle at will. Unless Sampu sends someone to cut down the woods, he won't be able to find you!" Send people to light more fireworks in the dense forest during the day and night, so that Samp can't figure out where you are! You can wait for the opportunity to sneak up on them at night, but don't fall in love with the war, and run to another dense forest after harassment, I will make them not even sleep well at night, hahaha! ”

Charlie asked, "General, what do you mean by putting the Chinese army camp on the north bank and running to the south bank yourself?" ”

Colenwa laughed: "Hehe, how can I let Samp know where my Chinese army is so easily?" I deliberately put a big tent of the Chinese army there, and I don't plan to dismantle these pontoon bridges, I want to see if Samp has the courage to attack, haha! ”

Charlie was shocked: "Don't dismantle the pontoon? ”

……

Sampu finally gathered most of his forces five days later, leaving only 10,000 troops in Maslett and the fortress to the north, 40,000 troops needed to escort the lifeline of food, grass and supplies, and at the same time sent 20,000 cavalry to search for the elusive cavalry that had been attacking him for several days, plus the garrison who sent troops to escort the wounded and the defenders of various important strongholds, although Sampu had 300,000 main troops in the north, the number of troops that were being assembled in the town of Dowants was only 200,000.

Sampu's 200,000 troops, who had been assembled, finally marched towards the city of Mithland. With the lessons of the previous days, Samp did not dare to advance too aggressively this time, and the distance of less than 30 kilometers was almost in the evening, and he arrived at the predetermined battlefield on the north bank of the Marshall River.

Sampo found that on the north bank of the Marshall River Plain, there was a lot of white smoke rising from the dense forest, and the entire north bank plain was full of smoke, and the Chinese army camp in Colenwa was actually stationed on the north bank of the river, and it seemed that there were not many troops to guard it, and there were several pontoon bridges behind the Chinese army camp tent, but there were no troops to defend the south bank of the pontoon bridge.

This made the battle-hardened Sampu feel that Colenva's arrangement was full of weirdness, so that Samp, who had just experienced a defeat, had to be careful. Sampu did not dare to take the risk, and ordered his army to camp three thousand meters away from the north bank, wait until dawn tomorrow, and then try to attack and find the enemy's reality.

No matter what he is, his own army of 200,000, the total strength of Colenva is about 100,000, of which there are no less than 30,000 or 40,000 troops guarding the Marshall River east of Misland City, and they are suppressed and attacked by their own 150,000 people, and there are at least 10,000 strongholds in the west, and at least 10,000 troops are left in Fuxing City, and the cavalry is divided to attack his rear, so Sampu soon got the data and intelligence that there will not be more than 50,000 people on the south bank of the Colenwa River. Samp began to scoff at Colenva's deceitfulness, and as long as he pushed forward in order, anything that stood in his way would become powder.

Without any immediate plans for the battle, Samp planned to camp here for the night, wait for the soldiers to rest, and then assemble and march the next day.

It was nearly midnight, and Sampu's camp was peaceful and quiet.

In the surrounding dense forest, drums suddenly beat and the horns of the attack whistled, which seemed particularly harsh in the calm night on the plains on the north bank of the Marshall River.

Samp's camp was quickly lit up, the crowd was crowded, several scout cavalry shuttled back and forth, inquiring about the reality, and the other soldiers were assembled and ready for battle!

Several scout cavalry searched around for the enemy but found that there was not a single enemy! Annoyed soldiers had no choice but to go back to the barracks again to sleep.

An hour later, the drums and trumpets sounded again, and Samp's battalion had to blow the horn of assembly again, and the soldiers were busy getting up and armouring to assemble. There was another round of searching, only to find that there was not a single enemy. Annoyed, Samp ordered the troops not to unload their armor, and then sent five cavalry teams with a total of 5,000 men and horses to patrol the camp all night, and not to blow the horn of assembly until the enemy was discovered.

Sure enough, an hour later, the sound of drums and horns sounded everywhere again, but Samp's battalion did not respond, only the cavalry strengthened their vigilance.

Every hour, the drums and trumpets sounded at the right time, and the battalion still did not react, and no enemy appeared, and even the patrolling scout cavalry became impatient, and symbolically galloped in all directions, and began to wander around slowly.

……

In the last hour before dawn, the sound of drums and trumpets sounded again, and the patrolling cavalry no longer ran around, but still yawned slowly on their horses, and even the horses were not at all refreshed.

"Enemy attack!" The barracks sentry at the rear of the camp shouted loudly and blew the horn.

But the reaction in the camp was not strong, and although the horn sounded, many people continued to sleep with their heads covered, only a few people went out of the camp to check, and a patrolling cavalry also slowly marched towards this side from a distance.

I saw that the back of the camp suddenly the sound of sword clashing sounded fiercely, and then the flames soared into the sky, and many camp tents began to catch fire.

"Kill—"

Shante and Charlie each led 2,000 infantry and attacked Samp's rear camp. Some of the soldiers got into the enemy's tents and cut them when they saw them, and many of them were still asleep and their heads were gone. Other soldiers set fire to the tents, their baggage, and set fire to a stable, and hundreds of horses were frightened, broke free from their reins, and went on a rampage through the camp.

The rear of Samp's entire camp suddenly panicked, and the horn sounded one after another, followed by the entire camp from north to south, and the entire camp began to assemble urgently, waiting for orders.

Except for the rear battalion, most of the officers and soldiers did not know what the specific situation was, only that this was a real enemy attack, how many people there were, and where the direction of the attack was, they couldn't figure it out!

Shante and Charlie attacked for less than five or six minutes, and then retreated to both sides.

When the enemy's cavalry found out that they had been deceived, they immediately rushed forward to chase and kill, but when they chased to the edge of the dense forest, countless arrows shot from the edge of the woods, and suddenly dozens of cavalrymen in front of them turned on their backs, and the cavalry behind hesitated slightly, and Shante and Charles each led their soldiers and hid into the dense forest.

No one knows what the outcome of the battle will be, but the dense forest with all the grass and trees, as long as it makes the other party panic, this is enough!
