The loud trumpet sounds came one after another, and Edward, the commander of the Seremis family army, rode his beloved "black beauty", looked forward to the Saranar family army slowly coming out of the crimson castle, and walked in the front
It is the battle flag embroidered with the Saranaal family's emblem. Judging from the pattern of the battle flag, Edward understood that today's opponent was the weak and sick Lord Adams.
"Hmph, send the orders, and all units will speed up their entry into the position." Edward turned his head and issued an order to the messengers beside him. The messengers immediately conveyed the order in a group of two people riding fast horses, and they got the command of the commander.
After the order, the army of the Seremis family accelerated their pace. They trotted all the way to the place Edward designated for them in advance, lined up in a formation, and waited quietly.
In the Casano Plain, which has a population of only 300,000, today's battle against the Scarlet Rose Castle can be regarded as a large-scale battle. The two sides of the warrior invested more than 17,000 troops, of which the attacking Seremis family had a total of 11,000 troops.
The people, Saranal and Emilio coalition less than 7,000 people, can be said that the gap in strength is still very large.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of these armies is far less than that of the garrison of Thunder Fortress. The real elite among them is roughly similar to the second-line army of Thunder Fortress back then, and more are farmers who only left their farm tools and picked up weapons not long ago.
With soldiers who have been trained for a long time as grassroots officers, these farmers quickly learned combat skills and experience. If they had the opportunity to go through many difficult battles and persevere until the end, these farmers could also become well-deserved veterans. It's a pity.
The vast majority of people will die in battle or put down their weapons and go home to farm again before that.
Edward commanded his subordinates to complete the arrangement of the military formation first. As a well-behaved commander, Edward certainly would not take any risk when he had superior troops. He still used the most commonly used method in the battle to make the most strength.
The strongest and most impactful soldiers were placed on the right wing of their positions, while the weaker 3,000 troops were placed on the left wing. As the commander, Edward led a total of 6,000 troops to take charge of the central government.
The biggest advantage of this arrangement is that it can give full play to its advantages in military strength, especially in the vast battlefield, when both sides cannot use the terrain to attack their opponents. In this way, the regular arrangement can slowly consume the opponent and use a series of means to frustrate the opponents.
Morale, then launched a drill-through offensive against the enemy's weakest left wing with the strongest right wing, causing the opponent's position to be in chaos, thus achieving the final victory of the battle.
Under this arrangement, if the two wings are tight, Edward can choose to divide his troops to rescue, or directly launch an attack with the central army to counterattack the opponent's position. Even if the two wings are at a loss, Edward's strength will still be equal to the maximum force invested by the opponent.
With the arrangement, Edward can counterattack while the opponent's physical strength has declined after the hard battle, and he can also achieve the final victory.
"Unless a miracle comes, our army will win!" Edward said secretly in his heart after repeatedly deducing several times that he still couldn't find his own flaws.
Just when Edward was full of confidence, the positions of the coalition forces of Saranal and Emilio were basically arranged. On the surface, Lord Adams was responsible for the command, but in fact his daughter Adra was the actual command of this coalition forces.
In order to cover up, Adra's whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and her rose battle flag was not cast out, and Adra herself was not in the central army at all.
According to Adra's arrangement, her father Adams personally led 4,000 troops to station the central army. Adams's only task was to firmly station in place. Vivian personally led the remaining 700 soldiers of the Emilio family.
Pretending to be a miscellaneous soldier on the left wing, Adra also carefully selected the elites of the Saranar family to enrich Vivian's direct subordinates to 1,000. In order to conceal his identity, Vivian and her soldiers were there
Wearing a raincoat that the farmer wore when he was cultivating in the rain. Fortunately, these soldiers were equipped with mails worn with thin slices, so they only looked a little bloated in appearance, but they showed that they had to farm in the farmland for the rest of their lives.
The kind of rustic atmosphere.
As for Adra himself, he pretended to be elites with less than 2,000 remaining people. In order to deceive Edward, Adra allocated the family's supplies, equipped these subordinates with leather armor, and even transferred them.
Come here, the guards under Vivian were wearing stainless steel armor. These warriors were originally selected, and their armor was also supported by Ryan himself. It can be said that the team composed of dozens of people has the combat power in the entire battle.
The strongest team, when they removed the Emilyo family's emblem and replaced it with the Saranar family's emblem, stood in the front row of the right wing, it was indeed eye-catching.
"Well, it seems that you have also arranged a formation exactly the same as mine." Edward whispered after carefully observing the other party's position: "Adams, in fact, if you have not been weak and sick since childhood, your intelligence is in our three families.
The strongest one, if I were to get along with you in a different place, I could only use this method to delay and pray for the arrival of a miracle. It’s a pity that your military strength and combat power are far inferior to mine. If you continue to consume this, you will definitely lose.
Even though you lose a little slower, maybe you think it’s not too embarrassing to do this?"
After the formation of troops on both sides, the soldiers on both sides stood quietly, and the battlefield fell into a depressing silence. Edward looked up at the sun and found that he had started to mobilize troops.
It has been almost 2 hours since I left the camp.
Of course Edward could not stand up with the other party like this, because it would not do him at all. However, although Edward's military strength was superior, if he acted rashly, it would still cause a series of unpredictable consequences. Therefore, Edward could only use various means to slowly.
To weaken the opponent's strength and morale, so that you can find and seize the opportunity of the entire army attacking.
"The third, the fourth squadron prepares for shooting, the seventh, the eighth squadron raises shields to protect." Edward gave the order softly,
Under his order, the 200 sword and shield warriors in charge of protecting raised their round shields in their hands and walked towards the front for about 50 meters. They leaned tightly together and formed a dense formation to make the bows and arrows behind them.
The hand formed a safe shield wall, and the only two archers of Seremis's squadrons also slowly walked forward and stood behind the sword and shield warriors. Under the command of the commander, these archers brushed together.
