Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were already the norm in the Crusaders, and at a time when many poor people were still struggling for three meals a day, this customary policy of the Crusaders attracted a large number of people to join it.

For various reasons, the Crusaders slowed down the recruitment of soldiers. This is a disappointment for many poor people.

After a hasty breakfast, recruit Clun still followed the veteran's instructions and went to the grass outside the camp to solve personal hygiene. When he returned, the veteran Caliter had already begun to load their standard armor on himself.

Strangely enough, though, the recruit had a lot more than he didn't. At this moment, he was stuffing something thin, like iron armor scales, into the leather armor of the standard armor.

"What are you doing here? Is this what your sergeant rank has given you, special armor? "The Scarlet Crusaders have different ranks and ranks, and they are dealt with different armors, and Clone has only seen their squad leaders have such a thing...

"Dispensing?!" The veteran Caliter snorted a few times, tucked the iron scales into the leather armor and lined them, and moved back and forth a few times before turning to the recruit and said, "Although I think Master Harvey may have this idea, he has too many people like you and me. If everybody can get this stuff out, then Master Harvey and we are going to eat dirt! ”

"So what is this? Where did you get it from? The recruit stood behind him and helped him tie the unreachable plate armor rope around his shoulder.

"Protect you on the battlefield from the shit archers' arrows penetrating our bodies." Kalit foamed, turned to the recruits and said, "Tie up the kids, I don't want to be on the battlefield and my armor suddenly falls off one by one!" ”

When he was dressed, the veteran said to Clown, "I've never liked teaching people, but I think you're more pleasing to the eye, so I'll give you some advice." After you've paid your salary, don't rush to spend your days drinking like everyone else does, go to a blacksmith and ask him to make you a set of things to protect you. Do whatever you need! As long as you tell them what you need, they can do it. ”

"Just like me! Do you understand? ”

"It won't cost a few silver coins, well, only 20 silver coins at most, right?" Like a merchant selling goods on the street, the veteran Caloriet smiled and said to the recruit Crown, "I happen to know a blacksmith, and when the time comes, I'll take you to him, and he'll give you a discount." ”

Woo!!

The dull sound of trumpets sounded again in the camp.

"Alright." The veteran was not talking nonsense, he turned and snapped his weapon into the slots in the armor as he said, "It's going to begin." ”

"Start what?" The recruit was visibly flustered, and he followed Calitt's, wearing his armor in a panic.

"This horn is a signal for our Wing Commander and Squadron Leader to go to the middle of the camp, in the tent of the Corps Headquarters, for a meeting." The veteran looked back at the recruit with a grin, "Arrange for us to be the first attack sequence or the second phalanx for a while." ”

"However, no matter how it is arranged, we will all go to war." The veteran turned his head to look at the hills and fields on the left and right, and everywhere he saw were dense tents.

"We are placed in front of Tarummir, which is destined for us to go to war!"

It didn't take long for them to be taken to the battlefield and start lining up...

Since this was an internal war in Lordaeron, the more lethalberd and tower shield formations were asked by the commander not to be used in this war. So Calitt, a veteran of the heavy armor, cursed and placed the recruit Crane in the front position.

The First Wing of the Eighth Army Corps, where the two of them were, was divided into three large phalanxes, which were arranged in order and backwards. Each phalanx was divided into three horizontal formations arranged in a straight line, and each horizontal formation was spaced at a distance of more than ten meters. Each horizontal formation is composed of several rows, each with 20 people and 6 people in the longitudinal thickness.

However, it is different from the second and first phalanxes in the rear. Each horizontal phalanx of the first phalanx, with an extra row of people at the front, is in front of the recruit Crane and the veteran Coolet... They have shields in their left hands and a spear in their right hand!

With the addition of them, all the columns of the first phalanx were added together, making a total of 420 people.

In the war of cold weapons, the scope of the battlefield is often not very large. Soldiers on both sides were clustered in a very small area, and they would crowd and fight. It is impossible for the soldiers in front to retreat, and the soldiers in the rear will push them and crash into the enemy's swords! This will make the soldiers on both sides more able to stimulate their ferocity, because if you are not more ruthless than the others, you will die at the hands of the other party.

And with the soldiers crowded in the rear, it was naturally impossible to escape. Because the elite soldiers of the noble lords are often the reserve in the rear, and those who are in the middle of the crowd can't retreat, and those who dare to retreat in the rear, the elite soldiers of the reserve don't mind cutting you first!

So they could only wait for the soldiers in front of them to fall, and then they were pushed and strode forward. There is only one result, either step on someone else's corpse and rush up to kill someone else, and survive yourself. Either they were cut to the ground and trampled to death.

Cloune suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart, and like the other recruits, he turned his head to look at the people in the queue and everything in the distance.

There was no calm in the procession, there was the sound of rapid breathing, prayers, laughter, everything. For veterans, accustomed to fighting, the team on the other side, which looks like refugees, is just an honor for them. You must know that the plate armor chest guards, plate armor shoulder guards, and chain mail armor on other parts of their bodies are not jealous.

The veterans didn't care about the low-ranking officers in front of the array who kept talking about the things they should pay attention to in the battle, and even teased the recruits with these.

And for new recruits who are fighting for the first time, excitement is certainly inevitable.

Recruit Claune struggled to suppress his excitement and uneasiness, turning his head to look around, and soon he saw a large blue Lordaeron banner on the small hill behind his left, along with a large red blood-colored banner.

Is that Master Harvey?

Standing at the top of the small hill, looking at the red squares like small squares at the bottom of the mountain, Locke couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. This scene, which could only be seen on TV before, finally appeared in front of him.

Locke doesn't understand the military formation, all of this is inherited by Lordaeron's former soldiers. From the Fifth Legion to the Scarlet Crusaders now, his army finally looks like a regular army!

When Locke was in charge of the Fifth Legion of the Crusaders, he didn't know how to do this, and he hadn't done anything like this. At that time, it was not needed in the Silver Pine Forest, and when he walked quickly to expand the army, it was not his turn to step forward to command. Large-scale battles with the undead basically didn't happen, so this scene was the first time he had seen it since he crossed over!

"There's only the Eighth Legion down there?" Riding on his warhorse, Locke asked with some curiosity. In the hills and valleys below, the red army formation was densely packed, and there were only more than 4,000 people from the Eighth Army...

This visual effect is amazing!

"The scale of the battlefield is too small, the Eighth Army Corps will be enough." Hudson pulled the reins of his fallen horse, "In order to prevent them from escaping back to Talenmere again, part of the cavalry regiment was ambushed on both sides of the battlefield, and part was north of Talenmere. ”

"The Sixth Army is already deployed north of Tarummere, keeping an eye on the direction of the Alterac Mountains." Bridget looked into the distance at the town of Talenmere, where the rebels were lining up like them.

Locke nodded, everything is ready, then let's end things here early!

Locke gave the order, Bridget commanded the herald behind him, and it wasn't long before Locke saw several soldiers with small red pennants playing chess pieces on the halfway slope of the hills.

Semaphore.

Woo!!

At the foot of the mountain, several horns sounded at the same time.

The military formation arranged at the foot of the mountain finally moved, and the three small phalanxes in the first row, four hundred and twenty people, began to advance slowly.

The battlefield between the two armies was nearly a kilometer, and no commander would be foolish enough to let his soldiers come up and charge at such a distance.

Moving forward in a neat and steady manner is a way to boost morale and allow the soldiers to conserve their strength on the march. In cold weapon combat, most people are killed at the end of their exhaustion. Therefore, whoever has enough strength has the greatest hope of survival.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of armor grinding, the clashing of weapons, and the sound of neat footsteps dazzled Recruit Cloun, who unconsciously followed the array.

In such an array in the depths, even those who have not fought will be unconsciously assimilated.

"Stop!"

It was only when the queue came to an abrupt halt that Clone recovered from his stupor, looking through the strange row of soldiers in front of him. He could already see the army on the other side, and it wasn't far from them.

Before he could ask what was going on, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air overhead, as if something had flown by!

Crane struggled to look up, and through the T-shaped visor on his helmet, he saw a black crush pass over their heads and fly towards the array opposite.

Immediately after, screams and wails came from the opposite front.

Arrows fell from the sky, and even though the men were holding rudimentary wooden shields, the sharp arrows with Mitsubishi's iron arrows pierced through their rudimentary leather armor and clothes and pinned them to the ground.

Clounn saw that the opposite front instantly became chaotic, and many people fell to the ground. Before he could regain his senses, another rain of arrows flew overhead.

The soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be unable to endure such an attack, and rushed towards them with shouts and shouts!

"Javelin ready!"

The roar of the formation commander also rang out, and the soldiers with spears in the first row in front of the recruit Crane suddenly paced forward with small steps.

"Shoot!"

"Whoosh!!"

The hollow sound of steel ringing past his ears rang out in front of Crown. A row of twenty spears flew towards the enemy less than twenty meters in front of them with huge inertia!

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”

The dull sound of the tip of the spear piercing through the flesh, mixed with the wails of a crowd of people, appeared in the center of the war. As soon as those men fell to the ground, they were quickly overwhelmed by the enemy who had re-emerged from the rear.

It is estimated that he will be trampled to death by his own people...
