Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 131 Bow Formation

Now that the two sides have completed their formation, they are about to start a fight, but before the fight, according to Xilu's practice, the two sides have to say some polite words at the end before the battle, such as the useless words like "I will hunt with the general in Wu". Scene talk.

Although the lords of this world fight every day, most of them are group fights at the village head level. Both sides in the battle are trying to gain some benefits or simply get back the game, so most of them are polite and don't hurt each other. Just shaking hands and making peace, there was a happy and peaceful atmosphere, quite lawful and evil.

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

Although Stannis really wanted to arrange some sharpshooters to secretly kill the opponent's general during the meeting, but thinking that if the opponent also wanted to kill him, wouldn't the gain not be worth the loss, and the rigid knight's honor and rules still have some effect in this case .

Stannis drove forward alone, but he didn't expect three to come out from the opposite side. He felt that he was a bit at a loss.

And those three people are the three leaders of the Dill, Baffle, and Doug families, and they are also the three poor people who have suffered from poaching.

One of the men with long blond hair lifted his mask and stepped forward, "Long time no see, Your Excellency Justin, I wonder if you still remember me, Cillian Dill."

The encyclopedia in Stannis' mind started to move again, [Cillian Dill] is the current head of the Bucks family.

"Hi, Baron Dill, I don't know what brought you here." Stannis asked politely after he bowed his body immediately.

This handsome man with long hair was also full of etiquette, and he also bowed to Stannis, "Where is it, in fact, I have long wanted to fight against the famous dragon slayer in Tanis, and this time I finally have the honor. "

Compared to his humility, the two guys around Xilian were much ruder.

A sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked guy with a wretched demeanor glanced at Stannis provocatively, and made a disdainful voice, "I thought the Dragon Blood Knight, who is the best in the principality, is so great, but today, it looks like it is no different from us. It is also two hands, and can only hold a sword, and I, Randall, will be the first to refuse!"

At least I am much more handsome than you!Of course Stannis didn't say anything, he just looked at this guy, [Randall Doug], the eldest son of Viscount Doug, is also the heir of 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 turned out to be the Barrow IV of the Buffalo family that he defeated last time. No, although his face was exactly the same, this guy was a little older.

"Are you Viscount Barrow?" Stannis asked cautiously.

The big man glared at him angrily. It seemed that the people in this family were not very good-tempered, "I am Barrow I, and it was you who wounded my younger brother Barrow V Jr. in the knight duel and was still in Baili City. Despicablely defeated my brother Barrow IV Jr. in a duel."

Stannis almost laughed out loud, the cultural knowledge of this family is so low, the brothers all have the same name.

But he still admitted it legitimately and brightly: "That's right, I will defeat your two younger brothers."

"That's good!" Barrow I clenched his fists and seemed to be gnashing his teeth furiously. "Then let's have a showdown on the battlefield immediately. I want to see if you are as powerful as the rumors say!"

Stannis consciously made a slip of the tongue, and of course he wanted to avoid going to war as he was on the weak side. "Does it have to be fought? In fact, I am a pacifist in my bones."

Baron Cillian shook his head, it seemed that they had made up their minds.

At this point, it's useless for Stannis to argue no matter what. The other party came aggressively, and they came with the idea of ​​asking Hai Bian to give him a good meal. They will never kick Stannis' ass before withdraw troops.

Lord Qi Weini knew that it was useless to say anything at this point, so he had no choice but to pretend to be calm and forceful, "Then, please go back, my lords, I just ask the sons to come and fight for fun."

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

Stannis, who pretended to be a failure, immediately turned his horse's head. He raised his hand and made an ordinary gesture, signaling to his men—to fight!
The coalition army took the lead in crossing the river. Although Stannis wanted to cross the river halfway, he was rejected by Maester Romond on the grounds that he did not conform to the etiquette on the battlefield. He was expelled from the nobility, and in serious cases, he was directly beaten by the group.

Of course, Stannis didn't have the guts to risk his life, so he had to obediently wait for the opponents to cross the river and line up.

After the formation of the coalition forces, the heavy infantry was also placed in the middle, and auxiliary arms such as archers and slingers were 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 rigid, arranged in a square shape like a piece of tofu.

Correspondingly, the formation of Qiwei Ni's army is very artistic. In order to highlight his outstanding military talent, Stannis did the opposite. He put the infantry transformed from bandits in the middle, and Ilysses' Ex-soldiers are placed on either side.At the same time, the central army is not a straight line, but a bow-shaped formation protruding from the center.

That's right, Stannis put out this arc formation to lure the enemy to attack, and then took advantage of the situation to outflank the left and right, preparing for another Cannae battle.

Of course, the coalition forces didn't know the significance of this strange formation set up by Stannis. With the blowing of horns and the whipping of officers, the phalanx began to move forward slowly.

The frontmost archers and slingers on both sides of the coalition wanted to consume a wave first, but they were scattered away by Stannis' green fir bow.Next, it's close combat.

The infantry of the coalition army plunged into the formation laid by Stannis, and the central soldiers of both sides began to fight. Since Qi Weini's central army was at a disadvantage, they had to fight and retreat and kept shrinking. The front line changed from a convex shape to a concave shape. Qi Weini The elite soldiers deployed on both sides also rushed forward quickly, encircling the left and right wings of the coalition forces.

Standing behind the army, Stannis held his head tightly. Now that the enemy had fallen into his trap, the decision of victory now depended on whether his center army could withstand the enemy's assault.

As a lord, of course, Stannis did not fight in person. Not only him, but also Krodov and Robert, who were knights, did not participate in the battle in person. This small-scale battlefield itself is not suitable for nobles to participate in, because they cannot be obtained. How much kill honor.Although the nobles had the amulet of ransom on the battlefield, it would not be worth the loss if they were hit by the loss, so the lords of both sides acquiesced that they would not end up participating in the battle in person.

However, Stannis's following the trend has caused irreparable consequences.
