On 13 May, just after dawn, Gray ordered two battalions of the 2nd Infantry Regiment to advance from the shoals toward the opposite bank, followed by a brigade of archers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The archers were followed by two other battalions of the second infantry regiment, which were different from other infantry brigades, they were armed with short spears and round shields, and they also carried a large bundle of short spears on their backs.

As the front infantry battalion advanced to the middle of the river, Gray ordered two other mixed battalions of archers and light infantry to row from the flanks of the shoal on rafts to the opposite bank!

At the outset, 7,000 troops were committed, which was nearly half of the strength of the camp. Gray even personally led two squadrons of light cavalry to follow in the rear of the troops.

The procession of 7,000 men marched slowly, and from a distance, it seemed as if even the river was cutting the way for their arrival.

The West Bank sentinels were dutiful, sounding the magic whistle of early warning the moment Gray gave the order for the troops to be launched.

Viscount Donna was obviously taken aback by Earl Lockton's big move at the beginning, and he immediately prepared to meet the enemy, but Sir Carr, the captain of the guard next to him, said: "Lord Donner, their purpose is to uproot our tower, we can't fight in a hurry, we have an advantage in time!"

"You're sending them to their deaths, at least five thousand people pressed on the other side!" a nobleman immediately retorted.

Viscount Donna had clearly not adjusted from the transition between attack and defense, their camp was too far back, the defensive line on the banks of the river was simply full of holes, and there were only a few sentinels in the two towers that had been built.

Now was not the time to hesitate, Viscount Donna immediately ordered: "Let the first brigade of the first regiment go to meet the enemy, remember not to be too aggressive, just a tentative attack!" Two cavalry brigades are moving on both flanks, waiting for orders at any time!"

In fact, Gray's plan for today was to make a tentative attack, and he didn't think about a large-scale attack.

However, Gray was surprised by the morning sentry's report, he did not expect that there was no defense on the opposite side of the riverbank, and there were not too many soldiers in the two towers that had already been built.

This is an opportunity! Gray's heart beat suddenly, and he hurriedly reported the matter to the Earl of Lockton, and when the Earl of Lockton heard it, he immediately came to his senses.

With the Earl's permission, Gray even ordered a small part of the camp to be dismantled and used to make a raft!

The army is pressing, and the vanguard under Gray's command has landed on the West Bank, and the next thing is to see the reaction of Viscount Donna, if he is lucky enough, Gray can take the position on the West Bank today.

The sentries on the watchtowers of both camps watched intently at the changes in the opposing camps, and then reported the information they saw to their respective commanders as soon as possible.

"Sir Gray, a large group of infantry has been sent out on the opposite side, and there are suspected signs of a large number of cavalry movements on both flanks!" the scout immediately ran to Gray after receiving the information.

"A brigade?" Gray touched his chin and thought for a moment, then ordered the herald next to him: "Tell the knight of Cent, let him divide a brigade and push it forward a thousand feet, and if the infantry of the enemy's brigade dares to advance, let him stick to me." ”

After receiving the order, the herald quickly left, and in a short time the order had arrived, and the infantry of the two brigades of the front army immediately separated into a brigade and continued to move forward!

The change on Gray's side immediately caught the attention of the enemy sentries.

"Viscount Donna, a large group of infantry on the opposite side is continuing to advance!" reported a soldier at an observation post.

Viscount Donna gave a 'grace' and looked at his guard captain, Viscount Karl, before ordering: "Order the first brigade to quickly move closer to the enemy and bite them to death!"

After one of the heralds left, Viscount Donna continued to order: "Order the remaining four brigades of the First Infantry Corps to press up, and the two archer brigades to cover on the flanks!"

The order was quickly delivered.

"Sir Grey, the enemy has sent four more infantry brigades, two archer brigades, and they are pressing up from the front, and the cavalry on both flanks seem to be moving forward!"

Gray had already seen the dust rising from the local camp, but he didn't know what was going on, and now he was shocked to hear such information.

Is this a trap!, Gray thought to himself.

However, Gray had long conjectured about it! It was a trap and an opportunity, and he had already arranged it, so he ordered: "Quickly raise the flag, let the archers and infantry brigades in the river land, and establish a defensive line on both flanks." ”

As the flag was played, the two brigades in the river immediately ended their task of keeping watch in the river slowly, and they quickly landed ashore, and even pulled the raft ashore.

But as soon as the rafts were pulled out of the river, rows of sharpened wooden stakes were dragged out, and the soldiers turned over with quick movements, and they actually became rows of rejecting horses.

From a distance, the rows of repulsors on either side looked like the maws of a monster, the wet wooden stakes sharpened and glowing coldly in the morning sun's rays.

Viscount Donna had already gone to the watchtower himself to observe the battle that was about to unfold, and when he saw the arrangement of the troops in the river after they came ashore, he frowned, but then let go.

"Tell the Knight of Cent, tell him to push the line forward!" Gray calmly ordered.

Most of the troops under Gray's command had landed in the West Bank, and the front was relatively too narrow for the troops to move. If you are accidentally surrounded by enemy troops, there will be no chance to attack, although there is a way to retreat, but it is too depressing, after all, this is the first battle that Gray commanded as the captain of the guard.

Under the orderly orders of the officers, Gray's line was slowly lined up, and the two infantry brigades of the enemy and us that had just begun to advance had already been in close contact, and now the battle situation had changed, and Gray could not reinforce at this time.

Just as Gray's side was steadily advancing, the front of Viscount Donna's team suddenly became disjointed, and the soldiers of an infantry brigade did not know whether they were rushing too fast or the troops behind were moving too slowly.

Commanding the battle at the forefront, Pula and Sente immediately seized the opportunity and immediately ordered an infantry brigade to advance to meet the enemy, while a spear brigade followed immediately regrouped its formation.

The long-range attack formation of the spear thrower is divided into several echelons, and there is a certain interval between each echelon, which is convenient for running and can make the shooter more lethal.

The commander of the brigade that Viscount Donna ventured into was completely unaware of his danger, and he watched the enemy meet a large battalion of infantry, and even fantasized about the reward he would receive after defeating the enemy!

However, at this moment, it seemed that a dark cloud suddenly rose from the enemy's military formation! He immediately looked up, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and before he could react, his body was nailed to the ground by several short guns, and Yin Hong's blood was sprinkled all over the ground.

This kind of thing is happening to many people in this brigade at the same time!
