"Your Highness, it's enough to watch from here." As the Captain of the Third Imperial Decree Company, Alfus Taylor stopped Prince Kongdai from stepping forward, "Their Devil's Wind can blow very far."
Beside him were guards cutting through the brush to widen the road, while trumpeters and flag-bearers waved flags on either side.
Standing on a hillock, Prince Kongdai wrapped in a fur cloak, squinted his eyes, gazing at the semicircular battle formation in the distance.
Nearly a hundred large carts formed a long wall on the riverbank, with thick door shields and sandbags wedged between them, behind which stood seven or eight Long Spearmen and Long Spear Soldiers.
Each battle cart had seven or eight Holy Gunmen standing, with flails and sabers strapped at their waists.
Standing in the carriage, the Holy Gunmen propped their black gun barrels in the triangular openings on the sideboards, occasionally firing a shot to intimidate the Light Cavalry patrolling the edges.
