"Really?" The flag-bearer moved the flag from left to right, changed his posture and stood still, and then said: "Alas, this has just traveled so far, and before it has stopped for a while, it will be necessary to go to the battlefield again, and you say that those Habsburgs are really shameless, why do you have to choose this time to sneak attack?" ”

His companion was still wiping his blade intently, and when he heard this, he only pursed his lips with disdain, but did not answer.

Seeing that his companion ignored him, the flag bearer smiled helplessly, changed the subject and continued: "Hey, didn't General Kylos say that if we can get to the battlefield in two days, he will award us the gold coins of Kild and let us have a good rest?" Now that the promise of a good rest cannot be kept, what about the gold coins? ”

This companion of the flag bearer is a squad leader, and his size is also a bit of a position, so he may know more.

Speaking of this, the team leader put down the blade he was wiping, sneered with disdain, and said, "Still thinking about gold coins?" Haha, I don't think you woke up either, don't worry, those gold coins will be issued to your family after the war, along with your pension. ”

Hearing this unkind remark, the flag bearer showed some annoyance on his face, and he said angrily: "Hmph, it's impossible for me to die, leave the gold coins to the stupid woman in my family to raise other men, but you, you have to be careful, aren't you sword and shield infantry all rushing to the front?" ”

The squad leader put the wiped long knife back into the scabbard, straightened up and walked forward, and said with a smile as he walked: "Okay, let's save some strength to go to the battlefield, we are more numerous than them, no matter what, the situation will not be too bad." ”

The flag-bearer stared at the back of the squad leader, the corners of his mouth moved, and he uttered a silent swear word, and then he was speechless.

The same words were whispered throughout the entire military formation, and even if they were not spoken, they would be whispered in their hearts.

There was another muffled trumpet, and the huge Prussian army was in motion, and in the vanguard were more than 5,000 hoplites, with their iron-clad boots stamped heavily on the ground, pressing out pits in the soft earth.

Either with swords or war hammers, they approached the forest in front of them.

The hoplites set out, followed by more than 10,000 archers, every forty-nine archers formed a seven-by-seven phalanx, and the captain in charge of the command was exactly fifty people, two hundred phalanxes lined up, the longbows hung downward, and the arrows were already on the bowstrings, and at the first order, these archers would immediately create a rain of arrows in front of them.

The archer troops alone formed a line of 1.5 kilometers after it was unfolded, and this was the result of the loss of 5,000 archers last night, otherwise the line would have been longer.

Further behind the archers were a thick phalanx of more than 30,000 sword-shield infantry and pikemen, and heavy siege chariots were also mixed in with these infantry, and after the battle began, they were the main force of the attack, and the soldiers in front were just appetizers.

In addition, there were more than 5,000 musketeers in the Prussian legion, and Kylos did not attach much importance to the combat effectiveness of these musketeers, so he only divided them evenly among the phalanx of sword and shield infantry, who would later charge with the infantry and provide some necessary long-range fire support for the infantry in battle.

The muskets in the hands of these musketeers were crude and crude, and the accuracy and range were very problematic, and as for power, if the first two were not guaranteed, there was little point in mentioning power.

After all, not everyone has a new musket like Eugen, and for these old legions, the musket only plays a foil role on the battlefield most of the time.

In the end, the remaining 5,000 soldiers were a mixed force of light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and cavalry did not play much of a role in this offensive and defensive battle, so Kyilos put them last, ready to wait for the victory of the battle, and then send them to rush after the fleeing Habsburg soldiers.

As for defeat, Kyiros didn't think about defeat at all, after all, they had such a huge advantage in troops, how could they fail?

It's just that there is an important point, but he ignored it, their huge military superiority is based on the fact that the Saxon Legion also participated in the war.

While the Prussian Legion was attacking, there was no movement on the side of the Saxon Legion's camp.

The Saxon cavalrymen were lying in their tents, asleep, and the movement of the Prussian regiments next to them did not affect them at all.

Yesterday the Saxon cavalry had already exhausted themselves and harassed the Habsburg line several times, which continued throughout the day until night.

So now all these Saxon cavalrymen were resting, and they didn't want to get up and fight.

Duke Billund also had the intention of letting the Prussians do more effort, after all, it was his own people who attacked the other day, so he did not gather his subordinates, but just put on a good show and let the soldiers under Kylos toss.

As a result, only 55,000 men and horses of the Prussian regiment were left to attack the defensive line, and less than 50,000 people were actually able to participate in the battle.

The superiority in troops is no longer so obvious.

It's just that Kyiros directly ignored this problem, the advantage is not obvious, it is still an advantage, time is pressing, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Kyiros brazenly gave the order to attack.

Woo woo woo~

The horn sounded three times, and the huge phalanx formed by the hoplite army pressed up, and their steps were steady and solid, step by step, and as they advanced, the battle formation gradually opened into a long line, and the two rows of soldiers in front and behind were just in front of the archers' phalanx.

All the hoplites were shouting furiously, gathering momentum, and they were the first to face the enemy, which was especially important in this case.

It's just that in these shouts and killings that sound from time to time, there is a faint hint of weakness, which seems to be a little lacking in qi, but the combination of so many people's voices is loud enough.

The hoplites came to the front of the avenue leading to Vienna and did not divide them, but all rushed up the hillside to the east.

In his strategy, Kyros completely abandoned the attack on the western slope and concentrated all his forces on the eastern slope, which stretched longer and had a slightly gentler terrain.

This strategic layout, like closing the five fingers into a fist, makes the attack more intense, and it is easier to break through the opponent's defense in a short time.
