Episode 13: The Battle Order of Riverche

By Erkühr's assault order, the end of the battle was opened.

First, give an assault order to the mid-wing cavalry (catafract) on both wings.

One unit of left-wing medium cavalry (catafract) and two units of right-wing medium cavalry (catafract) roar and storm.

Against this is the Cossack employed by the rebels.

The quality of the cavalry is very high because it is made up of those who are not born cavalry, but who have come on horseback on a daily basis.

On the other hand, the Lemurian Army Medium Cavalry (Catafract) is equipped and outnumbered...

Sometimes this was my first real battle, and I hadn't pushed through the Cossack cavalry.

Sometimes on the left wing you couldn't fight as you think in the presence of the river, and on the right wing the Cossack cavalry was a little more numerous...

Overall, I feel pushed.

"Hmm! How well equipped, where I gathered and trained the numbers...... there's no way the Cavalry of Interpreted Items can beat us for real!!

That's what the Cossack chief - the man who was exiting halfway through the military council - shouted...

He took the Lemurian cavalry from next to next.

His ancestors were originally Bulgaron nobles...

It's a biological nomadic lineage.

Lemuria and Bulgaron are enemies of heaven.

Even if he were a descendant of a clan banished from Bulgaron, it would not change the point that he was a Bulgarian.

And if the enemy is Lemuria, it was enough reason to fight.

"Um, is it because it's my first real fight after all? I feel a little pushed. I need you to work hard until the end of the operation..."

Erkühr has heard reports of the course of the battle before…

I sighed.

Should we have had a little more power on both wings?

No, but we need the right amount of fighting power in the center... not too much of it to break into both wings.

"Rest assured, Your Grace. It is true that they do feel pushed...... the quality of the equipment is different. Enemy Cossacks are desperate if they take a blow in a light outfit, but our medium cavalry (catapult) can withstand some attacks. They're sticky inside."

That's what Edmond told Elquille.

Edmond is one of the generals who trained the Medium Cavalry (Catafract).

If that Edmond is okay, it's probably okay.

Elquille decides so and stops sending reinforcements.

We must avoid as much as possible what would be a gradual injection of force.

"Still seems to be struggling harder than expected though...... cut plans and it's time to switch to a central offense"

That's what Elquille said...

I ordered a battalion of mercenary units in the front row to prepare for the assault.

Their main arms are swords and axes, and short spears.

The principle is to bring mercenary weapons.

I just gave them Lemurian army pikes and halvards in the first place, and they can't use them.

Let me use a weapon I'm used to...

You should use it the way you deserve.

"Um... Your Majesty. Mercenaries aren't very strong, are they?

"Oh, yes, I am."

Erkühr answers Nia's question.

"How are you going to operate?... I saw the formation diagram, but I don't understand... Can you tell me?

"Um, personally, I'd like you to think for yourself until the end."

Elquille stroked Nia's head as she said so.

"Well, let me give you a hint or two. Okay? Mercenaries do have a lot of weaknesses... but they also have their strengths."

"Disadvantages......? Eh, what the hell..."

"Think for yourself. Well, basically, strengths and weaknesses are inversions. Reverse the mercenary's weaknesses and you'll have the advantage."

Any person friendly can be seen as indecisive.

And vice versa.

That's what things are all about.

"The reversal of the mercenary's weaknesses... first of all, the mercenary's weaknesses... uh, less skilled, less morale. I pillage on my own, and I often don't listen to orders.... it doesn't matter how you turn it upside down..."

Nia roars yeah yeah.

And... I hit Pong and his hand.

"Ok!! Er...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Erkühl nodded contentedly at Nia's answer.

"Big answer."

Now even while Nia was troubled... a battalion of mercenary troops were launching an assault against the rebels.

"Whoa!!!

"Assault!!

Shouting out loud, the mercenaries storm straight into the enemy.

And meet enemy mercenaries...

"Wow!!!

"Yay!!!

It quickly disintegrated and came straight back.

Elquille said a word when she saw this.

"Hiya, you're really unmotivated."

I held my head.

Maybe you'll fight the outgoing bravely? It is a great pity because I had only a little expectation in my chest that

But, well, so far, it's just as expected.

Well, on the other hand... rebels.

"Guidance, you've been lightly... what do you mean?

Stefan, who was on the right wing of the rebels...

I heard a report from the decree and tilted my neck.

I don't know because he hasn't fought himself...... apparently in an instant the mercenary unit of the Lemurian army was hit.

Well, the very fact that a mercenary unit was hit is not in doubt.

The question is why Emperor Lemuria, known as the Famous General, went into such outrages.

If you let a thousand or so mercenaries storm, it's more obvious to destroy in an instant than to see fire.

I mean...

This can be considered some kind of trap.

But...

"What trap?

"As expected, you've been caught"

"That's right, I'm really losing, not acting. Those guys."

Elquille said in a frightened voice.

The mercenaries, devastated in an instant, are running straight this way...

And the rebels also chased the mercenaries and started raiding this way.

"But this one's not good, but that one's terrible."

"That's true. It's a terrible formation."

In an instant the disintegrated mercenary units are fleeing here without formation or snagging...

The formation of the enemy mercenaries who began to follow it is also quite crumbling.

Fortunately for both sides... the mercenaries are armed not with long spears such as pikes, but with axes and swords.

If it were a pike, we wouldn't be able to continue fighting anymore at the stage where the formation collapsed.

Because when you get into nostalgia, there's no way to fight it.

But axes and swords are easy to get around... even if the formation breaks down, you can fight to some extent in a brawl.

"I guess he's armed with axes and swords, not spears, because he can't act as a decent group rather than"

Long spears can fight even weak soldiers.

It is a certain truth, and also a falsehood.

It is true that no individual martial arts are necessary… on the contrary, training as an army is more necessary in itself, as it creates the need to fight in unison.

A long, very heavy spear needs to be appropriately skilled to march undisturbed and directed at the enemy.

It is an impossible story, at least, to a mercenary in a burglary dispute.

Well, I guess the combat experience itself is abundant thanks to the wildling.

It's better to have a sword or a spear.

"Okay, Carolina... As you should, thank you. By the way... Nia, what do you do? Stay with me or fight with Carolina..."

Elquille asked Nia.

Nia thought about it for a while...

"I will now join Her Highness the Empress."

"Okay. Carolina, nice to meet you."

"Yeah, I know. … please don't leave me"

That's what Carolina said...

Joined the Cavalry of the Middle (Caterpillar).
