One Hundred and Twenty Crane Wing Formation

The army of the Mason's noble alliance drove towards the Duke of Bohemia was soon known by the Bohemians. In fact, there was nothing to hide. The marching of thousands of troops was just the noise of the soldiers, and the merchants and prostitutes who followed the army were enough to cause a big stir. Although Aroud's German mercenary regiment had its own baggage cart and the soldiers also had their own dry food, the other three earls still asked the merchants and prostitutes to follow the army far away, and in fact they were not far away.

"The marching speed is too slow. The Bohemians must have known that we are here." Aroud looked at the errand army behind the army. In fact, it was not only merchants and prostitutes, but also the knights and nobles in the three earl army each brought three to four servants, who provided various logistical services for the knights. On the battlefield, they could also pick up spears and shields to become guards around the knights. However, because they were people who had not received real military training, the military discipline was also poor in all aspects, which made Aroud frown in his eyes.

"There is no way, this is the traditional way of combat. Don't expect the knights and nobles to be like the German mercenaries." Baron Wendell comforted Arod.

"Mr. Gong Xiang, the Bohemians are flocking out of the castle. One of the cavalry should be coming to us at the momentum." At this time, the light cavalry sent out to Aruod anxiously reported to Aruod that Aruod sent out a total of four light cavalry to reconnaissance, but only one returned. It seemed that he was intercepted by the Bohemian cavalry.

"The terrain here is not conducive to infantry combat." Baron Wendell looked around. There was a flat wasteland. There were no obstacles. The Bohemian cavalry could drive straight in. According to Arod's plan, they should have advanced into a forest not far from the castle before the Bohemians reacted. With the gentle slope of the forest and hills, the Bohemian cavalry's advantage was weakened. However, the Bohemian cavalry's power was too strong and they rushed towards them so quickly.

"There is no time to set up a formation." Aruod knew that it was too late to say anything at this time. Only by forming a formation could he cope with the threat of cavalry, but he had never fought with the Earl of Weimar and others. He was completely unaware of each other's strength and soldiers' qualities. Joint combat between different monarchs is by no means so simple.

"How to set up the formation?" Baron Wendell asked curiously.

"The Crane Wing Formation, let the Earl of Weimar and Thuringian occupy the left and right wings. Earl of Plauen and I lead the army in the center and order the German mercenaries to form a tight and narrow formation. Let us look weak in the central army and lure the enemy to attack the central government. If the enemy is deceived, order the two wings to encircle." Arod said simply to Baron Wendell.

The formation is the knowledge of Aruod who played a foreign-made game when he was staying at home in his previous life, named Takeda Shingen. It tells the evolution of the Neon people in the Warring States Period after learning the Celestial Military Formation. Although it is just a war game, the changes in the military formation are much stronger than the Europa's simple chessboard formation and the horizontal formation without any changes. Now Aruod can only choose the simpler and more practical ones, hoping to weaken the enemy's cavalry attack by relying on the advantages of the military formation.

"What, separate the army?" The Earl of Weimar heard the order of Baron Wendell's hurrying and was surprised to think that something was wrong with his ears. You must know that according to the traditional Europa war experience, of course, the closer the soldiers are arranged, the better. This will concentrate the forces together, but they ignored the terror of the horse-riding nation. If they squeezed together, they would only become the target of Bohemian archers.

"Yes, when the army located in the center sends a signal, I hope that the two earls can lead the army to surround from the left and right wings, not early or late. Please be sure to cooperate." Baron Wendell said anxiously on his horse. Time is getting more and more urgent, and the Bohemian cavalry may arrive at any time, and there is no time to explain to the Earl of Weimar in detail.

"Okay, let's follow the command of the Prime Minister of the Palace." Earl Thuringian nodded. He also knew that time was urgent, so he immediately led his thousand troops to separate from the team and occupy the formation to the left wing. Seeing that Earl Thuringian had already led his army to set up the formation according to the order, Earl Weimar also led his 610 soldiers to set up the formation to the right wing.

The 380 soldiers led by Earl Plaunn remained in the center together with the German Mercenary Corps. With the command of the sergeant, the soldiers of the German Mercenary Corps were sent into a vertical array with only five people in the front row. From the front, it seemed that the number of people was small, but in fact it increased the depth.

"Everything is ready, let's see our opponents." Arod didn't feel relaxed until he saw the last soldier lined up in the formation. This was a war without exercise. No one had any experience. They cooperated with their comrades who were completely unfamiliar. This was even more dangerous than Arod who led the German mercenary group to resist the Duke of Bohemia alone. He hoped that there would be no situation to cheat his teammates. Arod prayed in his heart.

"Boom~~~~." At this moment, Bohemia's cavalry appeared from the opposite side. This was a three hundred horse-horse unit composed entirely of cavalry. The leader was Arod's old opponent Earl Ota. This count led the last elite cavalry of the Duke of Bohemia that the Duke of Bohemia had high expectations. Among them were more than 100 Eastern European archers and fifty Bohemia knights. All the rest were horse-riding teams composed of Bohemia's self-cultivated farmers. Three hundred cavalry came rumbled on the ground.

"What the hell are the damn Germans doing?" Earl Ota rode on his horse and looked at the noble alliance army of the Principality of Mason on the opposite wasteland. Their army was very wide and divided into three unconnected armies on the left, middle and right, with very wide intervals.

"So strange." Grover, the eldest of the three wild boar brothers, also rode a horse. He looked at the military formation that he had never seen before, and was confused. During the basin war, he and his brothers were quick to think about it and found an opportunity to escape to the rear in the fierce battle. Only then did they escape. However, the Bohemians lost many people in that battle, but they had a great blow to morale. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, they did not punish the three wild boar brothers for escaping from the battlefield.

"You were also a nobleman of the Principality of Mason. Tell me what happened?" Earl Ota raised his finger, pointed at the military formation opposite, and asked Grover.

"This, I heard that Arod became the palace prime minister of the Principal of Mason at an extremely young age. The other nobles must be dissatisfied." Grover frowned. He knew that if he couldn't explain a reason, he would definitely anger Earl Ota, who was already dissatisfied with him, so he reluctantly guessed.

"Oh? You mean there is actually a gap between them. They are barely united because of orders, but they are suspicious of each other." Earl Ota said to Grover for granted.

"Maybe that's the case." Grover swallowed and said reluctantly.

"Yes, why are you hesitating?" Earl Ota looked at Grover with dissatisfaction. He had already been very disgusted with ugly things. If it weren't for the Duke of Bohemia's order, he would not have wanted to bring this ugly thing with him.

"Yes, yes." Grover nodded quickly and replied. People had to endure this humiliation under the eaves, but it was normal for nobles to often dislike each other and to jealousy and compare with each other.

"That's good. They were so far away, so we defeated these damn Germans one by one. Our cavalry was enough to deal with them." Earl Ota was resentful of the soldiers in the battle of the basin and was determined to avenge them.

"So Count, where should we start? I suggest that we first attack the right wing on the edge and eat this army from the edge. With the Count's bravery and all the brave and good Bohemian warriors, we will definitely win." Grover quickly flattered and said attentively. He also saw that Earl Ota was the favorite of the Duke of Bohemia, so he was unwilling to offend him. On the contrary, he had to have a good relationship.
