Heroes of Silver Moon

The third formation of the Hood family should have had a thousand regular army heavy infantry and two thousand militia spearmen.

But because all the heavy infantry were forced to "sick" on the way here, the third cohort of the Hood family only had 1,500 militia spearmen at this moment.

When the light infantry of the second platoon forced the Hawke family's archers to retreat and started a melee battle with the Hawke family, these spearmen with long weapons could enter the battlefield.

If the Hawke family's archers don't retreat, these spearmen without shield defense are basically living targets for death.

As for the fourth cohort, it is the command position of the Hood family. Marquis Hood, Earl Greta, and the retainers of the Hood family who do not participate in the command are here to coordinate the overall situation of the battlefield.

Protecting them were four hundred armed militiamen armed with various short weapons, and four hundred militia spearmen armed with spears.

This is the main formation of the Hood family army. On the left and right flanks of this main formation, the Hood family also arranged 500 regular army light cavalry.

Once the Hawke family showed a flaw in their formation during the battle, the thousand light cavalry would quickly rush into the battlefield to defeat the Hawke family.

1,200 archers in the first cohort, 2,000 light infantry in the second cohort, 1,500 spearmen in the third cohort, 400 light infantrymen and 400 spearmen in the command position, 500 on the left and right flanks Hussar.

This is the formation of the Hood family.

And the Hood family's field fortifications were constructed quite sloppily.

On the ground directly in front, a hundred or so wooden baffles were nailed, and on the left and right sides, only two trenches that were not deep and not shallow were dug. As for the rear of the army, there was no defense at all.

"Who do you think will win this battle?" Putting down the binoculars in his hand, the old king looked at both sides of the battlefield, and then asked the crown prince without looking back.

His calculation seems to have failed a bit, and he even forgot to take into account the terrain near the capital.

On this endless plain, can the Hawke family cope with the Hood family's cavalry?

Hearing the old king's inquiry, Crown Prince Yona pondered for a while and then replied: "Well, but judging from the current situation, the Hood family still has a great chance of winning."

He didn't know how the old king was going to bring down the noble council.

But judging from the current situation, the old king's plan undoubtedly failed somewhat.

Although their royal family and a certain dark force have greatly weakened the Hood family, after all, the hard power of the Hood family is here.

Judging from the situation on the court alone, the Hawke family's chances of winning this time are not even 40%!

"Tsk, I think so too!" Hearing Crown Prince Yona's reply, the old king also heaved a long sigh.

Ma De, this time it is a disaster for the Hawke family.

But fortunately, he is still prepared to have a backup. Even if the Hawke family is defeated, his plan can go on smoothly.

It's just that if you use the second hand, the final effect may be greatly reduced.

"Tulio, I remember that you are a top student at Wangdu Military Academy!" After sighing, the old king turned his head to look at Tulio behind him.

Wangdu Military Academy is the earliest military academy established in the Silvermoon Kingdom. It has been established for more than a thousand years and has provided a lot of military talents to the Silvermoon Kingdom.

And Tulio, who is the chief of defense of the capital, graduated from this academy in his early years.

Hearing the old king's question, Tulio hurriedly stepped forward, and then replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Oh, who do you think has a better chance of winning this battle?" Nodding thoughtfully, the old king asked curiously.

Neither he nor the crown prince actually participated in the war, although he also received military education in his early years.

But over time, what they learned in their early years has basically been forgotten.

Therefore, the old king wanted to hear the evaluation of the battle situation by a professional officer like Tulio.

"Well, it's hard to say." Tulio thought about it for a while, and then pointed to both sides of the battlefield and evaluated: "Although the number of Hood is far from that of the Hawke family."

"But look, Your Majesty," Tulio pointed to the Hood family.

"The soldiers of the Hood family stand in a loose queue, and you can tell that the military discipline is loose on weekdays. This kind of army is called black bread in the Royal Army!"

"Black bread?" Hearing Tulio's description, the old king had a strange look on his face.

He knew that black bread was food that the poorest people would eat, and it was as hard as a brick.

But what is the meaning of the army called black bread?

"Yes, black bread looks harder than a rock on weekdays, but as long as it is slightly wet, even a child can pat it into a ball of batter," Tulio explained in plain language.

"Eh~", after listening to Tulio's explanation, the old king was speechless for a moment, so that's what he meant!

"Does the Kingdom Army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have black bread like this?" After being speechless, the old king asked again with a feeling of pain.

He doesn't want all the troops he spends a lot of money to train every year to be such superficially powerful troops.

"Yes, there are many battle groups in the Third Legion and the First Legion." In order to show himself in front of the old king, Tulio directly sold his colleagues shamelessly.

"Slap", after listening to Tulio's report, the old king slapped the city wall hard.

Ma De, he knew that there must be many battle groups corrupted after so many years without major battles!

"Woo~~", just when the old king was beginning to feel sad that he didn't manage the Kingdom Army well.

A loud horn sound instantly brought him back to the battlefield.

Back to ten minutes ago, the two sides on the battlefield who had been waiting for a long time finally got the king's permission.

For the Hood family, after receiving the news from the messenger, Marquis Hood looked stern, and ordered to the retainers around him: "Reorganize the army, and then blow the war horn."

The retainers received the order, so they quickly started to get busy. It was time to rectify the army, and it was time to return to the command position.

After everything was ready, the Hood family resolutely sounded the war horn.

The sound of the horn was the signal for the Hood family to declare war on the Hawke family!

On the other side of the Hawke family, Valery also quickly reorganized the army after receiving the order.

The vassals in command of the first column, leading the archers, started marching in neat steps until they reached behind the carriages arranged in a row.

When they were shooting arrows, these chariots could defend against enemy arrows.
