Stannis didn't expect the next battle to come so quickly, and the reasons for going to war were not very noble.

In fact, the lords did not care about the flight of the border lords, because they only cared about whether the countryside in the core area was still firmly in their hands, which was the basis for their conscription and taxation. Although the empire issued a number of decrees strictly prohibiting the peasants under the rule of the lords from moving at will, because the household registration management system was too backward in this era, basically except for the central villages, the lords could not control the activities of the people in remote areas, and they were too lazy to care, so it was normal for the peasants in the border areas to move to each other.

It's just that this time Qi Weini dug people too hard this time, crossing the three families from south to north and hollowing out a line, turning into a Western Continent excavator, and the farmers moved in one after another, forming a hollow area, even if the lord with a big heart can't sit idly by, otherwise he will really become the commander of the light pole.

On the afternoon of the day the news of the war began, Stannis summoned his troops to the battle, and he must not back down on such a matter, or the people in his realm will abandon him again.

"Why didn't they even send an envoy before sending troops, is this kind of undeclared war really okay?" Stannis still felt a little strange on his horse, this kind of war behavior is a bit too child's play.

Robert laughed, "Do you still need a reason to fight? Besides, this level of battle is obviously used to find the field, not your life-and-death play, as long as one side surrenders and is willing to surrender, nothing will happen to both sides, even Duke Garcia acquiesces that this kind of small-scale conflict can be used as a normal means to resolve disputes." ”

Stannis stuck out his tongue and used war as a daily routine, the world really doesn't take human life seriously.

At this moment, Lady Romon received a carrier pigeon and took a note from its feet, which he read quickly, and then caught up with Stannis.

"Your Excellency, my classmate, the Scholar of the Dill family, Master Pryushkin, just wrote a letter saying that the leaders of the coalition forces unanimously agreed to choose the decisive battle on the Sancha River Beach at the junction of the four families, do you have any opinions?"

It turns out that in this era, the battlefield must be determined first, but think about it, in an era when information is so backward, if the battlefield address is not determined early, it will take a year and a half just to find each other in the vast forest.

This time he didn't bring out his all-star lineup, Jebertai and Kanye were still on the east bank of the river to catch the savages, and there was a mass food poisoning in the village below, so Brother Romney stayed behind to save them; Speer, the engineer, didn't bring it with him, and Stannis estimated that there was no hope of digging trenches and traps in such a dignified frontal battle, and even the mercenary captain Betsmore found an excuse to take a leave of absence, saying that he had an important matter at home to go back to solve.

Therefore, he actually only took the initial configuration out to dry the rack.

But Stannis didn't feel anything wrong, although there were only a hundred people this time, almost a one-to-two disadvantage with the other side, but the lord did not show the symptoms of the previous such as restlessness, pain, life is worse than death, etc., it was nothing else that gave him such confidence, but his trained elite soldiers.

This elite was added by Stannis privately, in fact, he still didn't have the money to update the equipment for the Thunder Legion, and those infantry still used their own equipment, such as the former Ilisses Empire soldiers used two-handed swords, while the former bandits preferred round shields and battle axes.

Of course, there is no armor, in fact, in addition to the whole body plate armor that makes Korodov majestic and majestic, the other armor is a thin layer of iron, such as now Stannis is wearing this, although he is a lord, but the equipment is infinitely close to the day shift except for the legendary weapon 'Broken Knees'.

But Stannis has always believed that it is not weapons and equipment that determine the outcome of a war, but people!

His troops had been trained on a full-time basis and could be called the rudiments of professional soldiers, so he firmly believed that it would be easy and enjoyable to fight the militia of the three minor lords.

An hour later, his idea was in vain.

On the other side of the river, rows and rows of well-armoured infantry lined up in a tight shield wall, and the sunlight shining on them made Stannis unable to bear to look at his opponent's army. Three types of flags with different patterns flutter in the wind, and the armor reflects the light in the sun, which is the standard elite medieval troops.

"I'm really a dog, this setting is too much, right?" Stannis was about to go crazy on his horse, and he crossed over and stuffed himself with a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, saying that this was an army and he would endure it, and he would put up with it, and think that other lords were like this. But after smashing the pot and selling iron, and with all his exhaustive and continuous efforts, he finally put together a unit that can be said to be in the past and was ready to go out to abuse people, and now told him that the troops facing him with three attacks and three defenses had already trained to the full level and were waiting for him, so the hard work he had put in before was completely useless! In short, the enemy he had to face seemed to be improving with the improvement of his strength, and he would always be much stronger than him anyway.

"I'm not going to play anymore, it's too bad!" Stannis thinks that this crossing is specially designed for him, and he will be a fart in the face of that kind of enemy who is bright armor and armed to the teeth!

Robert saw what the guy was thinking, and he decided to cheer up the traverser.

"Boss, you see, those who are equipped with armor are all troops of the Doug family, they were originally famous for forging armor Tanis, and they are only equipped in the first three rows, and the people in the back are all cloth clothes and holding farm tools like us. ”

Stannis immediately recovered from the great frustration, and following the direction of Robert's finger, he did find that there were no more than twenty or thirty soldiers wearing standard equipment, and they also picked out the best ones to rank in the front like selling fruit, and the black ones standing behind were the main force, and if you looked closely, they were also a bunch of yellow muscle and lean malnourished rabble.

"Ha, is there still a fight like this!" Stannis regained his confidence and began to calmly command his troops.

It is said that it is a formation, in fact, it is to put the infantry in front and the archers in the back, because the inheritance of the ancestors is not proficient, so that this traverser can carry forward the quintessence of the country, and make what kind of heaven and earth three talent arrays, the eight gates of the golden lock array are really difficult for the strongman.

But even so, Stennis still played a little trick when setting up the formation.
