The cold land began to melt, and showers fell from time to time, making both sides of the confrontation seem a little impatient. The parliamentary army had 27,000 and the king's army had 18,000. The parliamentary army received a larger number of Scottish pledge troops, and they took the advantage of the number of people in a while.

Except for sending soldiers to provoke each other's camp, the two sides never moved on the position. The occasional showers made both sides very cautious. The mesh guns they used were very afraid of water. If they were not careful of protection, they would lose their combat effectiveness because they were soaked in the rain.

Muskets were their only shooting weapon. Bows and arrows were no longer practical. Two or three hundred years ago, the English longbow that traverseed Europe was ruthlessly eliminated by history. As early as more than 40 years ago, the English Parliament passed the "End Longbow Ordinance". Among the recruited troops, the longbow is no longer considered a qualified weapon.

At around 18 o'clock in the evening, there was still no movement in the positions of both sides. When night fell, the battlefield became dim and then dark.

"It seems that this is a rather peaceful night. The battle will not begin tomorrow. We are ready to go back to the rear for a meal and rest." Cavalry commander Prince Rupert and Ireland Governor Leicester both believed that the battle would not break out today.

After all, it has begun to get into the night, and no one can see the situation on the battlefield clearly at night. If a fight really happens, it will inevitably be in chaos.

Unless there are fewer people on one side, it is possible to risk attacking to turn defeat into victory. However, the current situation is that the number of members of the parliamentary army is dominant, and it is hard to imagine that they will take the initiative to attack at this time.

"The situation seems to be something wrong... Let everyone stay where they are, eat the black bread they carry, and be prepared to fight at any time." Sun Chuanting had a bad premonition when he saw the torches on the opposite side.

"You doubt they will fight at night?!" Prince Rupert and the Irish Governor could not believe it.

"I just have this kind of worry. If we wait for another two hours and the other party still has no movement, we will rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Sun Chuanting said.

"Be careful, be careful." Prince Rupert sat directly on the wet grass and gnawed a piece of black bread.

In the last Battle of Mount Edge, he failed to pursue the defeated enemy without authorization, causing the King's Army to miss the opportunity to win. This time he had learned his lesson and tried to endure the recklessness.

Sun Chuanting caught a glimpse of Prince Rupert chewing a piece of black bread that had no taste and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, our leader has better food, you don't have to eat this boring black bread."

"Mr. Sun, do you know that my father was one of the electorates of the Holy Roman Empire and served as the king of Bohemia. Otherwise, the King of Britain would not marry the princess, that is, my mother, to my father. Later, my father failed in the battle with the empire, and he died in exile. From then on, our family was neglected and had to live under others. So I brought a group of people who were willing to follow me to participate in wars and adventures everywhere. Sometimes we were poor and we were able to eat this kind of black bread as hard as stones. For me, being able to eat this rough bread with the soldiers was the real battle with them." Prince Rupert said.

"I heard that your brother Carl stayed in London City, and he chose to stand on the side of the parliament." Sun Chuanting said.

"My brother's choice is his choice, but my heart is on the side of the king. His Majesty the King took us in when we were expelled by the empire and made me the commander-in-chief of the cavalry. I must be worthy of the importance His Majesty the King has attached me to me. As for my brother, it is probably because he wants to obtain the help of the parliament and regain his father's fief in the Holy Roman Empire." Prince Rupert said.

Sun Chuanting could understand Prince Rupert's idea. With the West being the same system of inheritance of the eldest son, even if Rupert regained the title and fief of Duke Palatinate, it was his elder brother Carl. As the younger brother, Prince Rupert was able to be valued by his uncle Charles I in England, which was enough to make Rupert grateful.

A scholar died for his confidant, even Prince Rupert was no exception.

"If you can win, maybe you can continue to play for Britain, after all, you have half of the British bloodline." Sun Chuanting said.

"Now I am thinking about helping the king defeat the parliament. Their parliament should serve the king, not overtake the king's power, otherwise the world will be in chaos. The kings can be overthrown by the parliament, so aristocratic system such as dukes, earls, barons, and viscounts has no meaning to exist." Prince Rupert said.

Sun Chuanting did not answer Prince Rupert's words, and he saw a turmoil in the opposite parliamentary army lineup.

"Oh no, they are really launching an attack at night!" Sun Chuanting saw the opponent's torch moving quickly, and knew that this was a sign of launching an attack.

"Enemy attack! Everyone is in place immediately and ready to fight back!"

"Prince Rupert, you must hold your position no matter what. This is related to the life and death of our King's Army! If you win, we will be out of power. On the contrary, if you fail, we may even be captured and executed!"

"Get orders! I will definitely live up to expectations!"

The officers of the King's Army, from Sun Chuanting, Prince Rupert, the Governor of Ireland, to the low-level officers, shouted the cavalry on the left and right wings and the infantry in the middle, and stood up to welcome the offensive of the parliamentary army!

Prince Rupert led 3,000 cavalry on the left wing, Wilmot, the cavalry general of the King's Army, led 4,000 cavalry on the right wing, and the infantry of the Central Army of the King's Army was commanded by Sun Chuanting and the Irish Governor.

The two rows are 1,000 new musketeers equipped with the Dereser rifle. They are the elite trained by Sun Chuanting in winter, or are they the first time they have been involved in the battle! This is also the trump card that Sun Chuanting is preparing to turn defeat into victory!

The sound of horse hooves in the darkness was heard, and it was accelerating. The fire dragons on both sides of the parliamentary army came towards the King's army, and the other party used a typical two-wing cavalry formation.

"Dear Knights, glorious! Show your achievements in winter under the training of the 'wizard', and let the enemy see our heroic performance!"

Prince Rupert pulled out the musket at his waist. He faced the offensive of the parliamentary army, using Swedish cavalry tactics and prepared to charge back!

The proportion of knights in the King's Army was higher, and their training and equipment were better than those of cavalry mainly composed of parliamentary militias. After Sun Chuanting specially trained them in winter, the knights in the back row drew out the knight's swords and shouted in a raucous voice: "Damn!"

According to the instructor who trained them, this pronunciation is the most exciting tone in Chinese...

"Damn!" Prince Rupert was also brainwashed by Sun Chuanting, shouting to lead three thousand cavalry to fight a counterattack!
