"Report! My dear masters, the troops of about ten thousand people in Burgundy are departing from the valley camp and heading towards Basel."

The sun has just risen to the sky. On the cold day, the few sunlights in this day are not only good moods, but also easy to make people sleepy. Especially for not sleeping all night last night, they were "energetic" and "unworrying" and "unwillingly tired" and often harassing the crowd of Xiqin, who was stationed in Burgundy. At this time, they couldn't help but feel mentally distressed, especially the lieutenant who was a civil servant, who is now yawning all over the sky. He couldn't help but regret following last night. If he went to war, he would feel worth it, but he was "inaction at all".

Here, the lieutenant yawned again, but seeing that the people around him were still looking "excited" now, they were so listless, and they were really not very good-looking. They immediately cheered up and took a few sips of tea that had been soaked without any taste. There was no way, now the Western Qin tribe just started planting tea trees on the land of Switzerland. What they can drink now is not only in quantity, but also in some old tea. Moreover, most of the land in Switzerland is not suitable for planting tea trees. Even if they can get something next year, the quantity and quality cannot be guaranteed.

Compared with these Western Qin generals, the thousands of militia who had worked hard all night are of course qualified to make up for their sleep. After working all night, they naturally complained. However, for the sake of military pay, their complaints were only verbal. After a night of sufficient rest, the eight thousand Western Qin children, who were energetic, were now ready to stop and wait for a command.

Although Bai Zhou lived in later generations, he spent American time, day and night, and sometimes it was common not to sleep for one or two days, but now in such an era, once the night comes, there are too few activities available for entertainment. When it gets dark, it basically means that the time for sleeping is up. It has completely replied to Bai Zhou's biological clock. However, it is so hard that Bai Zhou, who is now, has not slept all night, but his physical fitness is here, and his tide of sleep is constantly sweeping over.

In the actions of last night, everyone knew that there would be no conflict, because the other party was the only general they had seen on the Europa continent who would use such a "wise" strategy. Since he was so "wise", he was not an impulsive person. Although such a person was even more difficult to play against, his "wise" also determined that he would not take action rashly before he was sure.

Since there was no military conflict, Bai Zhou originally meant that he was enough to lead the army alone, but in actual actions, he found that he was not familiar with the three thousand Swiss militias who followed him, let alone the specific command. Bai Zhou thought about it over and over again. In order to prevent any accidents, he transferred Menggo and Mengzhi to go with him. After all, they were directly commanding the three thousand miscellaneous troops and had a clear understanding of the low-level commanders at the captain level among them. Similarly, this is the reason for letting Mengshan go with him. The recruits originally recruited in Basel only knew Mengshan.

This led to the not-so-hard action last night, but all the "high-level" generals of the Western Qin Dynasty were dispatched together, which made it impossible for the mental state of the few people to be in good condition. However, all this fatigue disappeared after the scouts' notification arrived. After all, they were all people who had been in the army for a long time, and this exhaustion was nothing. Of course, the civil servant of the lieutenant must be eliminated.

"Young master, we expected that those Burgundians can't hold on." Meng Zhi knocked heavily on the table. After returning to the city at dawn, they didn't fall asleep, but just took a nap on the table. They did this just to wait for these guys, and now they finally waited for their opponents.

"It's normal. If they really only have five thousand people, they wouldn't be able to swallow the resentment of last night, but we all know that what they have is not just the open army. Since they still have one hand, they will definitely not be willing to be like this by us." Bai Zhou rubbed his temples with both hands, hoping to make himself more energetic. It is true that the upcoming war requires the commander to maintain a highly concentrated and clear mind. From this point of view, last night's actions also had a significant impact on Western Qin. But compared with that, the Burgundians not only did the generals sleep all night, but also their soldiers. Moreover, more importantly, their generals are not only declining their energy because they have no sleep, but also because they were "played" last night, which made them feel full of resentment. On the battlefield, commanding the army with this negative feeling is sometimes disastrous.

"The Burgundians included the soldiers in the valley camp and sent only 10,000 people, which should not be all their troops." The lieutenant said, and he had a little doubt. Where did the others go? Although Western Qin did not know how many soldiers Burgundy had ambushed in Belfort, there would definitely not be only these five thousand people. According to their previous estimates, this number should be between 20,000 and 30,000 people. What are their other troops doing? You must know that if the Burgundians sent all these troops, although the eight thousand children of Western Qin were still not afraid of Basel's walls, they are not qualified to fight such a head-on battle. At that time, they may not have to give up Basel temporarily. But now, their opponents have only sent these 10,000 soldiers. Although this is an opportunity for Western Qin, the lieutenant has to worry about whether the other soldiers of the Burgundians will take other actions.

After listening to Mengzhi, he said carelessly: "Isn't it just right for them? No matter how many of them, we may not be able to eat them. Now the number of them is just right for us."

But on the side of Bai Zhou, Mengshan heard the actual meaning of the lieutenant. The lieutenant was worried that the Burgundian sergeants who were still unknown might have any unpredictable impact on their follow-up plans. Mengshan thought carefully and said cautiously: "The routes available for Belfort to Basel are very limited, and in addition, their troops are quite large. If the remaining Burgundian sergeants appear again, our scouts will inevitably find out. There should be no need to worry about this."

"It is one thing to worry about it, and what they might do is another thing. If we can judge the movements of other Burgundian troops in advance, we will be more sure of this battle." Bai Zhou thought for a long time and found that he could not think of any further moves on the other side. Since they could not marches in secret, why didn't they pull all the troops out?

When Mengzhi heard his father and Bai Zhou say this, he also understood that the focus of the lieutenant just now was not the ten thousand people, but the movements of the other Burgundian troops. His face turned red, especially in front of his father, who once again exposed his shortcomings. As if he was "tricking" for himself, Mengzhi stammered and said: "These arrogant Europeans must be like the Swiss nobles at the time, looking down on the combat effectiveness of our Western Qin people, and believing that only ten thousand people could destroy us."

After saying this, Mengzhi found that he himself did not believe it. After all, the military education he received since childhood was that the lions fought with rabbits and used all his strength. If he was allowed to command the Burgundian army, when facing an army with a small number of people but completely unfamiliar, he would definitely calculate all aspects and would never underestimate his opponent because of the number of people.

But after hearing this, Bai Zhou thought, and sometimes, the more impossible the answer is, the closer it is to the fact. Although he cannot verify whether what Mengzhi said is true, since Mengshan said that if the remaining Burgundian soldiers were to march, they would not escape the sight of their scouts, which means that the opponent might really be ready to rely on these ten thousand people to attack him this time.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhou said, "Now don't rush to discuss the Burgundians who are still hiding. First, we will solve the more than 10,000 aggressive guys in front of us. If they are really just more than 10,000 troops, we will adopt the second strategy."
