    Section 13 The Battle of Wesen Village (3)

    In Mulan Town, militiamen, handymen, and a connected army of nearly 7,000 people were moving quickly. Various materials and ordnance were constantly being carried on carriages. The soldiers of the noble coalition were eating  After breakfast, when the sun had just risen, we headed towards Waterdeep City under the leadership of the officer.

    Among the rapid support troops of the noble cavalry in Mulan Town, Brat, dressed in military uniform, rode a war horse, and quickly headed to Weilin Village with the accompanying knights, knight entourage, and cavalry.

    Lin Fenghan, who had just finished breakfast, summoned everyone to the combat meeting tent and looked at the people who looked excited, scared, panicked, and had different emotions.

    Lin Fenghan said seriously: "We have more than 4,000 troops here. Before the battle, I decided to leave 300 marines and 300 light armored spear infantry as reserve forces. In this way, we  It proves that the total strength on the battlefield is 3,400 people, which is just a little bit more than the opponent, causing some deviation in their judgment, so they dare to attack."

    "The remaining 600 troops will stay in the camp for the time being. The commander will observe the situation on the battlefield at any time. If necessary, he will pick up the banner of 10 Centuries and disperse in a mighty manner. And the troops must call themselves 1,000  People, the support army from the direction of Waterdeep City, gives the enemy spiritual oppression."

    "I have decided to hand over the commander of this unit to Ma Youden. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete this task." Lin Fenghan looked into Ma Youden's eyes.

    "have!"

    Ma Youdun raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Thank you, Baron. One of my advantages is that I have thick skin. It is absolutely easy and natural to deceive others without any guilt."

    "Damn it, do you want to surpass your uncle Ke Langde?" Ke Langde took a bite of the apple and pointed at Ma Youden shamelessly.

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan looked at the speechless crowd, raised his eyebrows, and continued: "I have decided to divide the combat formation into three parts and three echelons."

    "General Colande will command the three hundred light cavalry on the left wing. I will sit in the center and command the heavy infantry on the right wing. Colande will lead the 100 free cavalry with crossbowmen."

    "200 halberd heavy infantry, ranked first on the left wing."

    "500 light infantry with spears, ranked second on the left wing, third line of battle."

    "300 crossbowmen, located in front of the center wing battle formation, will retreat during the war."

    "500 longbowmen, located at the front of the battle line, retreat to the sides during the battle and assemble on the center wing."

    "500 buckler swordsmen light infantry, located on the right side of the center wing, responsible for mobile attack and cover."

    "200 knights with heavy swords and infantry on horseback are located in front of the right wing, responsible for blocking and guarding."

    "300 heavy infantry are the second and third front on the right wing."

    ¡­¡­

    A little more than 1 o'clock in the morning, the Elantra army after breakfast was checking the completeness of the armament. After the centurion made the final inspection and gave instructions, the huge army finished solving the trivial matters and gathered towards the fields in the south.

    Lin Fenghan led the general's guards on horseback and rushed forward, holding a monocular navigation telescope in his hand to carefully watch the battlefield. In the open fields, Bumisxiu was also scouting on horseback.

    With absolute confidence and caution, the commanders of both sides who did not want to change the battlefield did not erect resistance horses or dig trenches on the battlefield. The two sides were prepared to face off head-on and fight in actual combat.

    The Elantra army participated in the battle with 3,400 people. The battlefield width was 1,000 meters wide. There were 100 people in a horizontal line and 6 columns of 100 people in each line. The battle formation was very strong. Except for the spear infantry, the general infantry was 1 to 2 meters apart from each other.  It is convenient for archers and crossbowmen to freely enter the formation.

    Bumisio also led the army down from the hillside camp two kilometers away. Except for 60 people in the 3,300-strong army who stayed behind to take care of the camp, all the other 3,000-plus people stepped onto the battlefield in turn.

    Riding on the war horse, Boumisio looked solemnly at the battle formation of the Elante army that slowly lined up and stood still.  He said seriously: "I think the main force of the Elant battle formation lies in the direction of their right wing to the west. Look, the infantry on the right wing are wearing heavy armor, and the cavalry are also wearing heavy armor, and they are powerful. The heavy infantry with spears in the middle direction are  They are also vigorous, and although the halberdiers in front of their left wing are wearing heavy armor and holding halberds, and there are hundreds of light infantry wearing leather armor, they are not elite compared to the troops elsewhere."

    The adjutant, who was in his thirties, frowned and said seriously: "General, you are so smart! Although Yi Liuyun is good at sending troops into formations, there is no way he can escape your old eyes!"

    ¡°Since the focus of the Elant war is on the right wing and the assault force on the left wing is not strong, then we also put our important cavalry and heavy infantry on our right wing, so that we can quickly break through their left wing at the beginning of the war.Defeat them by attacking the center flank that surrounds them.  "

    "Oh! Do you think our troops are really elite?"

    "Are you sure you can defeat their center before our left and center wings are destroyed?"

    "We can't do such a risky thing. Moreover, we are marching long distances. We have just come out of the mountain forest area. In order to adapt to mountain and forest warfare, our army has equipment and arms. Heavy infantry accounts for one-fifth of the entire army, less than 500 people.  , our cavalry is less than the opponent¡¯s, only 340.¡±

    "With this arrangement, once the war really starts, the heavy halberdiers and spear infantry deployed on the left wing of Elantra are all types of arms that can restrain our cavalry. Our cavalry and infantry cannot quickly defeat their right wing army.  On the contrary, Elantra's light cavalry will bypass our battle formation and attack the rear of our right wing. Their powerful cavalry deployed on the right wing will break through our left wing in a short time, and then we will be really miserable."

    Boumisio shook his head and said seriously: "My tactic is to arrange our main force on the left wing, extend the front line on the right wing, intercept their light cavalry, and deploy defensive forces on the center wing. The final battle will be against our left wing.  It is up to the warriors to decide, and now I will announce my tactics for deploying our forces."

    "100 light cavalry are deployed on the far right wing."

    "500 leather-armored spearmen are deployed on the right wing."

    "500 longsword light infantry deploy the second front on the right wing."

    "300 heavy spearmen are deployed on the center wing."

    "200 heavy sword infantry are deployed on the center wing."

    "200 crossbowmen are deployed in front of the center wing."

    "300 archers are deployed in front of the left wing."

    "100 horse archers deploy on the far left."

    "100 heavy cavalry are stationed in the second row on the far left."

    "The general's 40-man heavy cavalry guard will follow me in the rear row of the center wing."

    "The second platoon on the left wing of the 300 Mixed Swordsman Infantry Division."

    "300 mixed spear veterans deployed on the left wing."

    "100 halberd infantry are on standby in the rear to protect the rear."

    "200 lightly-armed swordsmen are on standby in the rear to provide support at any time."

    ¡­¡­

    Bumisio quickly issued orders, and the Second Legion army, which was slowly advancing according to the previous tactical arrangement, quickly changed its position under the guidance of the officers, and a targeted battle formation appeared on the battlefield.
