The Caledonian army was deployed on the high ground, divided into two distinct left and right flanks, and according to information obtained by Capet, the left flank was commanded by the famous Count Lydon, a famous Count, who had placed his position in front of a small, abandoned village, with sufficient infantry fortifications and repulsions, and the surrounding woods provided him with a good barrier.

On the right flank, it was commanded by Edward, the crown prince of Caledonia - in this year, it was normal for members of the royal family and even the king himself to go into battle, and it was common for him to charge, but compared to Earl Lipton, such a commander still made Capet's side scratch his head, after all, no one knew what the command ability of such a crown prince was. But he had chosen a very good position, able to support the left flank quickly, and his own defense was solid enough - beyond the same fortifications as the left flank, there was a shallow river in front of him. Although it was not too deep, it just hit Cheng Dù, who made Capet's knights unable to leap over, which made Sinampei, who saw these situations in the telescope, feel a little uneasy.

In addition, Sinampe also saw a scene that surprised him in the telescope - the few knights of Caledonia in this place, all dismounted, they lined up in a neat formation, interspersed in the middle of the Galledonian infantry, the whole phalanx formed an inverted V shape with two wings forward, and the longbowmen of the Galledonia composed of free peasants were arranged on both sides of the formation, coldly guarding against the attack that the Capetians might launch at any time.

"This Edward is either a fool or a genius. Yu Ge said coldly, "He actually put all the few mobile forces in his hands into positional warfare......

"But in exchange for high morale of the infantry. Sinampei smiled bitterly, "This has created an illusion for the infantry that 'the knights will not abandon us, and we will definitely be able to withstand the enemy's charge', and the infantry, who know that once they are scattered, they will have nowhere to escape, and they will also burst out like fighting in the last battle." ”

"A battle against the water?" Yu Ge put down his binoculars and turned his head to ask Sinan Pei.

"This is an idiom from my hometown. Sinan Pei explained to him, "In ancient China, there was a famous general named Han Xin, who once lined up against his back and defeated an elite enemy army ten times his size. ”

"Ten times?" Hugg shook his head slightly, "but we're only three times more numerous than the Caledonians at the moment......"

Sinan Pei chuckled in his heart, could it be that even the crown prince had a premonition?

But it was useless to say anything now, the Jenova crossbowmen of Saranyi hired by Capet were ready, and in loose formation, they began to attack the right flank of the Galedonian army.

At this moment, it is already afternoon, and although the warm winter sun is not fierce, it is unexpectedly dazzling. Si Nanpei, who was holding the telescope, shook his hand and aimed his gaze at the sun, and the next moment he instinctively closed his eyes.

"Oh, **! It's backlit at this time. It's better to let them attack the left flank!" Si Nanpei couldn't help but scold. It was not clear from the rough map beforehand, and he thought that in the face of the Galedonian army, he should attack to the northwest at any time, but only then did he realize that if he wanted to attack the right flank of the Galedonian army head-on, he could only pass from the northeast, and if he wanted to attack from the south, a low cliff would kill all the knights. While backlighting is unlikely to have a decisive impact on a battle, it can also cause great distress to the attacker, especially the attacker's ranged troops.

Not long after Sinampei's words fell, those Jenova crossbowmen began to release arrows.

The range of their weapons was much shorter than that of the longbowmen on the other side, and their loose formation was completely unsuitable for such a battle, but the few counterattacks of the Galdonians gave them great confidence, and they began to advance further—the rate and power of the crossbows were not matched by the likes of longbows at closer distances.

Unfortunately, the sparse counterattack from the opposite side was an illusion, and as the crossbowmen closed the distance further, the Caledonian longbowmen began their fierce counterattack.

The rain of arrows rained down almost instantly, and the poor Saranjans went to God before they understood what was going on—perhaps not accurately, except for a few unlucky men who were shot through the skull or died instantly, and the rest usually turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground, which is an indisputable fact.

The already loose formation was further disrupted, and they soon lost the ability to charge head-on into the Galedonian position, and the mercenaries, who had only come for money, began to break up and flee to the rear.

However, because the Galedonians had lured the enemy deeper just now, a considerable number of them could not escape the attack range of the longbowmen, and fell to the ground.

Sinampei couldn't bear to put down the binoculars. This is simply a one-sided massacre! The two sides are completely different from each other in terms of tactical thinking and training level. Those mercenaries may be really powerful, but they are not suitable for such positional warfare in terms of equipment and awareness.

Yu Geke was much calmer, as a qualified heir to the throne, he had long been accustomed to these bloody killings: "As expected, those longbowmen were as sharp as ever, but they didn't know how effective their longbows were against the charging heavy cavalry. ”

"Your Highness, haven't you figured it out after all this time of see-sawing with these Caledonians?" asked Sinampe suspiciously.

"No, the seven thousand men under my command are almost all infantry. Hug shook his head, "I don't have the luxury of having knights do the menial work of guarding the castle. ”

"Actually, you can't command those proud old men to do this kind of work, right?" Si Nanpei thought in his heart, but he still didn't say it. Joke! If you really want to say this kind of thing, then you have to do it? Si Nanpei was afraid that the crown prince would be poked in pain, so he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

Yesterday he noticed that although the king was very strong in the meeting, he was not as supreme as the Son of Heaven in ancient China, he relied more on his own personal authority, and his plan also took care of the interests of all the nobles on the surface. In Sinampei's view, he is more like an experienced contractor. The people below obeyed him because of his personal ability.

When Sinampei and Yuge were chatting with each other, the battle situation ahead changed dramatically - Cape's hoplites actually began to charge?!
