Andy stood on the hillside, watching Boliue deploying the troops.
In this era, infantry formations were based on the most basic unit as a single horizontal line, so by counting the small sections in the opponent's formation, one could estimate the number of troops.
For this reason, the staff headquarters of this era had a special position responsible for counting these small sections with a telescope.
Bertier promptly compiled the observations and reported to Anning, "The enemy has concentrated its main force in front of us, it seems they are preparing for a central breakthrough."
Anning responded, "Good, this way we might be able to make quick progress on both flanks."
Bertier asked, "The enemy might have a 1.5 times advantage in troop strength at the front, are you sure that's not a problem?"
Anning reassured him, "No problem, because I will personally lead the troops into battle."
