Since the two sides have finished arranging, they are about to start fighting, but before the battle, according to the practice of the Western Continent, the two sides have to say polite words one last time before the battle, such as 'Hunting with the general will be in Wu's useless scene.

Although the lords of this world fight every day, the vast majority of them are group fights at the level of village chiefs, and both sides of the battle are to get some benefits or simply find a place to get back, so most of them are polite and polite and do not hurt each other's muscles and bones and shake hands and make peace, a happy and peaceful atmosphere, quite orderly and evil.

And this kind of private fight between low-level lords, there is no need to send envoys, and the lords of both sides can come out to greet each other.

Although Stannis would like to arrange some sharpshooters to secretly kill the opposing general during the meeting, he thought that if the other party also wanted to kill him, wouldn't it be worth the loss, and the dull knightly honor and code still have a bit of a role in this situation.

Stannis drove his horse forward alone, but he didn't expect three to come out on the other side, and he felt that he was a little lost.

And those three people are the three leaders of the Dill family, the Bafu House and the Doug family, and the three poor worms who have suffered from poaching.

One of the men with long blond hair lifted his visor and stepped forward, "Long time no see, Lord Justine, I wonder if you remember me, Cilian Diel." ”

The encyclopedia in Steanis's mind began to move again, [Cillian Diere] the current head of the Bucks family.

"Hello, Baron Diel, I don't know what wind is blowing you here. Stannis asked politely after a pause on his horse.

This beautiful man with long flowing hair was also full of etiquette, and he also saluted Stannis, "Where, in fact, I have long wanted to fight the famous dragon terrorists in Tanis, and this time I finally have this honor." ”

Compared to his humility, the two guys around Cillian were much more rude.

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked, lewd guy glanced at Stannis with provocative eyes, and made a disdainful voice, "I thought that the dragon-blooded knight of the crown of the principality could have something great, and today, it seems that it is no different from us, it is also two hands, and can only hold a sword, I Lan Daoer is the first to disagree!"

Of course, Stannis didn't say it, he just looked at this guy, [Randall Doug], the eldest son of Viscount Doug, and the heir to the next Doug family, and now he basically handles the affairs of the territory.

Then the last one, Stannis turned his head and found that it was Barrow IV of the Bafolou family who was defeated by him last time, no, although the face was exactly the same, but this guy was a little older.

"Are you Viscount Barrow?" asked Stannis cautiously.

The big man glared at him angrily, it seemed that the people of this family were not very good-tempered, "I am Barrow I, and you are the one who injured my younger brother Barrow V in the knight duel and was bedridden, and you also defeated my younger brother Barrow IV Jr. by despicable means in the duel in Baili City. ”

Stannis almost laughed out loud, how low the cultural literacy of this family was, and the brothers all had the same name.

But he still admitted in a righteous and bright way: "That's right, it's to defeat your two younger brothers." ”

"Very well!" Barrow I clenched his fists and seemed to grit his teeth in rage, "Then let's fight it on the battlefield at once, I want to see if you are as good as the rumors!"

Stannis was speechless, and of course he wanted to avoid war when he was on the weak side, "Do you have to fight? Actually, I'm a pacifist at heart." ”

Baron Cillian shook his head, looking like they had made up their minds.

So far, no matter how much Stannis is arguing, the other party is menacing, just with the idea of asking Haibian to beat him to relieve his hatred, they will never withdraw their troops before they kick Stannis's ass hard.

Lord Qi Weini knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he had to pretend to be a vassal, "Then my lords, please go back, just ask the sons and daughters to come and fight for fun." ”

The three lords looked at each other, completely unable to understand what the traverser was saying.

Stannis, who pretended to be a defeated force, immediately turned his horse's head, raised his hand and made a normal gesture, signaling his men - go to war!

The coalition was the first to cross the river, and although Stannis wanted to attack halfway, he was rejected by Romon on the grounds that it did not conform to battlefield etiquette, and in this kind of knightly warfare, if you cheat, the consequences can be serious, ranging from expulsion from the nobility to direct group beatings.

Of course, Stannis didn't have the courage to die, so he had to obediently wait for the other party to cross the river and line up.

When the coalition was completed, the heavy infantry was also placed in the middle, with auxiliary units such as archers and slingers on both sides. A major advantage for Stannis is that the opponent has no cavalry, so he doesn't have to worry about being surrounded, and the phalanx is also very old-fashioned, arranged in a boxy box like a piece of tofu.

In contrast, the layout of Zivinie's army was very artistic, and in order to highlight his outstanding military talent, Stannis did the opposite, placing the bandit-converted infantry in the middle, and the former soldiers of Elisses on the sides. At the same time, the Chinese army is not a straight line, but a bow formation protruding from the center.

That's right, Stannis just put on this arc formation to lure the enemy to attack, and then take advantage of the situation to outflank left and right, preparing to stage another Battle of Cannae.

The Coalition forces, of course, did not know the significance of such a strange formation laid by Stannis, and as the trumpets blew and the officers whipped their whips, the phalanx began to move slowly forward.

The archers and slingers at the front of the coalition flanks tried to take the lead in a wave, but were scattered by the head-hugging rats fired by Stannis's green cedar bow. Next, it's time for hand-to-hand combat.

The coalition infantry plunged headlong into the formation under Stannis, and the central soldiers on both sides began to fight, because the number of Qi Weini's Chinese army was at a disadvantage, so they had to fight and retreat and continue to shrink back, the front line changed from a convex shape to a concave shape, and the elite soldiers deployed on both sides of Qi Weini also quickly rushed forward, surrounding the left and right flanks of the coalition army.

Standing behind the army, Stannis clenched his head, now that the enemy has fallen into his trap, the decision of victory or defeat now depends on whether his Chinese army can withstand the enemy's assault.

As a lord, of course, Stannis did not go into battle in person, not only him, but also Korodov and Robert, who were knights, did not come to the battle in person, and this kind of small-scale battlefield itself was not suitable for nobles to participate in, because there was not much honor for killing. Although the nobles on the battlefield have the talisman of ransom, but if they are lost and hit with a life, it will not be worth the loss, so the lords of both sides have tacitly agreed not to end up and participate in the battle in person.

However, Stonis's approach to following the crowd has had irreparable consequences.
