Anning sat on his horse beside his own formation.
At this moment, he felt a bit like he was playing "Mount and Blade."
In "Mount and Blade 2," riding a horse in front of one's own formation was pretty much the same feeling.
However, in the Mount and Blade series, there was no such prop as a monocular telescope.
Anning, holding a monocular telescope, carefully observed a chaotic enemy.
It seemed that being suddenly bombarded during the column march threw the enemy into disarray.
One should say that the enemy's officers were quite capable; even in such a state, they managed to barely deploy into a line formation.
It's just a pity that the Rebel Army's foundation was too weak, causing their troops to be in a strange state: Rebels close to the rebel leader had already left the main road and formed lines, but those far from the leader were still in column formation.
