Heroes of Silver Moon

"Clang~"

"Clang~"

"Clang~"

In the early morning, three vigorous bells rang, instantly waking up the entire capital.

Afterwards, the entire capital seemed to be fried. After a hasty breakfast, countless nobles rushed to the walls of the capital.

And the guards of the king's capital maintaining order on the city wall are busy.

Today is the northern and southern borders, the duel between the two great lords, watching thousands of people roaring and fighting on the battlefield, isn't it better than going to the arena to watch the gladiator fight?

Of course, only nobles have the right to watch from the city walls, and commoners do not have this privilege.

If civilians want to watch, they can only walk out of the capital and look at the battlefield with their naked eyes.

After all the soldiers had breakfast, the First and Third Legions of the Royal Army surrounded the entire battlefield in a half-moon shape from behind the Hawke and Hood families in accordance with the king's previous order.

Compared with the Hawke family and the Hood family, the militia mixed army of thousands of people, this 100,000 regular army belonging to the king is undoubtedly a great shock to the nobles who came to watch the battle.

Looking at this mighty 100,000-strong army on the city wall of the royal capital, the hearts of many nobles began to float.

In the entire Silvermoon Kingdom, the royal family still has the most powerful armed force, and some nobles with erratic positions have already begun to think about whether their positions are correct.

Big fists are the last word. Although the noble council has been very active recently, all the nobles in the kingdom know that the noble council does not have an armed force that can compete with the royal family.

How active the noble council can be now is purely because the king does not want to touch them for the time being in consideration of the overall situation.

And once the king makes a real move, can the noble council support the king's crusade?

For a moment, the nobles who were shocked by the 100,000 regular troops had this question in their minds.

Accompanied by a burst of ceremony and music, the energetic old king, under the protection of teams of royal guards, climbed up the city wall with Crown Prince Yona.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness"

Along the way, nobles continued to salute the old king and Crown Prince Jonas, and the old king responded with a warm smile.

The royal guards were on the city wall, clearing the area with the widest view, and then two gorgeous chairs were moved, and the old king and the crown prince sat on them grandly.

Still the same sentence, big fist is the last word.

For the old king and the crown prince, who monopolized the area with the best view, the nobles on the city wall dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Didn't you see the 100,000 army of others, just below it?

"Inform the two families that we can start." After sitting down, looking at the two families who had already prepared in the distance, the old king ordered casually.

This battle was launched under his witness. Without his order, even if the two sides were itching with hatred, they couldn't fight directly like this.

"Yes", the guard next to him received the order and quickly arranged for someone to notify the families of both parties.

"Your Majesty", following the guards to convey the order, Knight Turio, who was the Chief of Defense of the Royal Capital, also handed over two binoculars with a wink.

Able to serve as the Chief of Defense of the Royal Capital, Tulio has a solid background, and his own ability cannot be questioned.

Although he is not outstanding among his colleagues in terms of strength, but in terms of human sophistication, he is better than anyone else.

"Hmm~", nodding casually, the old king and crown prince naturally took over the binoculars.

For those in high positions like them, it seems that all this is taken for granted.

Opening the binoculars in his hand, the old king began to look at the two sides on the battlefield.

From high to low, with a good view, the old king easily saw the layout of the two families.

There are 2,500 people in the Hawke family, including 200 regular army archers and more than 300 militia archers. These 500 people were placed at the forefront of the team.

Once the two sides go to war, these archers will be the first arms to enter the combat state.

Then in the second line were 200 regular army heavy infantry wearing chain mail and holding large shields and spears, and 1,200 militia spearmen.

Once the two sides start a melee battle, the two hundred heavy infantry and twelve hundred spearmen will quickly advance and exchange positions with the archers.

As for the third line, it was the command position of the Hawke family. Valery and three or four retainers who were not in charge of command were here.

Of course, beside them, there were a hundred regular army light cavalry, and more than five hundred armed militiamen armed with war hammers, long swords, sword shields, battle axes, and other short weapons.

Once it is discovered that the enemy is about to break through, the heavy infantry and spearmen's line of defense, these more than 500 armed militiamen with short weapons, will immediately step forward for reinforcements.

As for the hundred light cavalry, they were led by Valery and a few retainers, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Around the Hawke family, the fortifications were also well done. Three deep and wide trenches were dug on both sides and rear of the team~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

This can effectively prevent the cavalry of the Hood family from attacking them from these three directions.

As for the front of the Hawke family team, there are forty or fifty carriages connected end to end.

This will not only allow the archers to defend against the arrows shot by the Hood family archers, but also effectively prevent the Hood family cavalry from attacking them from the front.

"Well", seeing the methodical arrangement of the Hawke family, the old king nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, it is a family that often fights against barbarians, and the team formation and fortifications are impeccable.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand first, the old king turned his head towards the Hood family, and then looked through the binoculars again.

There were originally 8,000 people on the Hood family side, but because there were 1,000 regular soldiers on the way, they fell ill for no reason, and Marquis Hood had no choice but to leave 500 armed militiamen to take care of them.

Therefore, after arriving at the battlefield, there were only 6,500 members of the Hood family left, of which 2,000 were regular soldiers and 4,500 were armed militiamen.

As for the team formation of the Hood family, the first team is the same as the Hawke family. They are archers responsible for long-range attacks, of which 500 are regular army archers and 700 are militia archers.

This formation of archers in front is common in all cold weapon wars.

The second cohort was different from the Hawke family. The second cohort of the Hood family consisted of 500 well-equipped regular army swordsmen and 1,500 armed militiamen with short weapons.

Under the long-range suppression of the archers, these light infantry with short weapons can quickly approach the team of the Hawke family, and start close combat with the army of the Hawke family.
