The fighters on both sides set up their own formations, and the flat playground was not like other places, all of them were flat, and such terrain was most suitable for large-scale legions to bomb.

William's face was relaxed, the war was already an undisputed victory, but he still hoped that his casualties would be smaller.

It was almost winter, and the cold wind was blowing on everyone, blowing the flags in the formation.

The Chekers looked at their enemies with their staring wolf-like eyes, their spears and scimitars clutching tightly in their hands, ready to inflict massive damage on them.

Soon, the Chekers moved, and after some deliberation, the chiefs of Mutus and Tiliro made arrangements for battle.

First, 8,000 infantry advanced and engaged the enemy's infantry, and then let the cavalry wander around in search of the enemy's flaws.

Their tactics are very simple, or they don't have any tactics at all, so that rudimentary tactics are no different from frontal steel.

This is the IQ and combat experience of the leaders of these barbarian tribes, but because of this, William will not cause too many casualties, which William likes to see.

The order was laid, and the 8,000 infantry of the Chekels advanced slowly, some of them either without helmets or armor.

Dressed in rather rudimentary equipment, it took eight years for the two Chekers to regain their vitality, but the common disease of singular nomads and semi-nomads still occurred to them.

Although the Chekels produced iron, much of it had to be placed at the disposal of the Kriza, and their previous defeat had led them to provide William with iron, which left them with little to spare.

The soldiers were already very satisfied with the leather armor on their bodies, and there was no comparison with the Denlenburg army.

Their formation was also a little scattered, and they were like the lowest bandit gangs, screaming and then rushing towards the enemy.

The Denglenburg infantry was at the front, they had already set up their battle formations, the sword and shield infantry were in front, and the pikemen raised their spears.

The Knights of the Iron Cross stood by William's side, a relaxed smile on his face.

Not to mention how the army of Denlenburg would beat the enemy in the event of a hand-to-hand encounter, six thousand archers and three thousand crossbowmen alone would probably be enough to crush the enemy.

The troops of William's vassals were not moving for the time being, and William gave orders for the archers and crossbowmen to look for opportunities to shoot.

When the enemy was more than 300 meters away, the crossbowmen fired, they deducted the suspension knife on the crossbow machine, and the tight crossbow string was exerted by the powerful crossbow arm to exert strong kinetic energy, even if the arrow was sent out, it was still buzzing.

Three thousand crossbow arrows, the sound of which was not inferior to twice the number of arrows, their strength was too great, and their speed in the air was also faster, and the sharp sound of quickly piercing the air resounded in the air and fell into the ears of every enemy.

These 3,000 arrows fell into the enemy's scattered formation, and suddenly set off a bloody storm, and the armor and shield on the enemy's body were completely unable to resist the fire of the crossbow arrows, and there was even a terrible scene of a crossbow arrow penetrating two people.

Screams and wails rang out, and they struggled to regain their lost lives from death.

It's a pity that they can't do anything, they are already medicine stones without a doctor at this time, and there is nothing to treat such a terrifying penetrating wound.

The 3,000 crossbow arrows caused more than 1,000 injuries to the enemy, and the skin shields in their hands could not resist the shots of the crossbow arrows carrying huge kinetic energy, and they were shot into the body after being penetrated.

Just one round of firing caused such casualties to the enemy, which made the morale of the Denlenburg army not help but be greatly boosted, and the morale of the enemy dropped a little, such a terrifying lethality is only seen in their lives.

However, although the crossbowmen's pulleys are equipped with several gears, so they no longer need to be wound with their feet, but the reloading speed is only slightly increased.

Now it takes at least twenty seconds to reload each time, and if you want to prepare a salvo, it takes twenty-five seconds to wait.

This is still a big gap from the archers who can shoot an arrow in five or six seconds.

However, the crossbow is characterized by its great power and long range, so William's crossbow is still very feared by his enemies.

Another round of crossbow bolts, this time because it was not a surprise, the enemy was prepared, so the casualties were not as many as the last shot.

More than 3,000 crossbow bolts caused more than 700 casualties to the enemy.

And in this time, the enemy has advanced more than a hundred meters and is already within the range of the archers.

This time, however, William did not let the archers shoot, hoping that the soldiers would engage the enemy in a hand-to-hand encounter to develop the soldiers' combat experience and reduce their fear.

After all, even a soldier who has been training on the training ground for a long time is not elite if he has not experienced a frontal battle with real swords and guns.

Although William hopes to minimize casualties and make himself more intimidating when fighting for the throne, he still hopes that most of his soldiers are veterans who have fought on the battlefield.

Therefore, even though William had the ability to crush the enemy with his long-range strength, he did not let the archers play and let the enemy rush straight at him.

The Dengrenburg infantry looked at the enemy rushing up, and couldn't help but clench the spears, swords, and shields in their hands, and even some recruits who had not experienced war were a little afraid because of this, but under the scolding and enlightenment of the veterans beside them, their situation was much better.

The enemy's speed was fast, and in less than a minute, they rushed to the front of the Denglenburg infantry.

Wielding the weapons in their hands, they charged at the sword and shield infantry in the first row with hideous faces.

The veterans wielded their swords and shields and fought their enemies fiercely, their swords and shields in their hands, and a large number of enemies had their throats cut or their hands and feet cut off by their skillful killing skills.

The recruits were a little panicked, and William did not put all the elite veterans in the front row in order to train the recruits, in order to let them experience the cruelty of war and familiarize them with the battlefield.

At the beginning, when facing the enemy, these recruits seemed to be in a hurry, and even caused some flaws in the formation, and it was only with the maintenance of those veterans that the formation did not collapse.

And which recruits have gradually found the feeling of being on the training ground, it can almost be said that they are getting better, their skills have begun to become more and more skilled, and their fighting style has become more and more inclined to the type of battlefield fighting.

The formation, which was originally slightly precarious, quickly stabilized, and the recruits gradually transformed into veterans with battlefield experience.
