the hungarians waited for this moment. the italians assembled a fortified camp, which however was not sufficiently guarded, left their guard down, and many of them started to eat and drink, to refresh after the long and exhausting pursuit, waiting the continuation of the negotiations, because berengar thought that the magyars are too weak and tired to fight, so they are at his mercy. but at the other side of the brenta river was probably not only the tired, pursued magyar army group, but other hungarian troops too which at the start of the campaign, were sent in other directions to plunder, and in the meantime they returned for the battle, and also those who remained in their permanent camp placed in that very place from the beginning of the campaign, because it was chosen a year ago in their reconnaissance incursion. in their campaigns in europe, the hungarians in every country they stayed longer, chose a place to be their permanent camp during their stay in the region (in 926 the abbey of saint gall, in 937 in france the abbey of saint basolus near verzy, in the same year the meadows of galliano near capua, where they stood for 12 days), so knowing these, it is highly probable, that the principal camp and the rallying point of the hungarians was on the meadows near the brenta river. so, without berengar's knowledge, on the other side of the river were a great number of fresh troops with fresh horses, which just waited to start the battle.
