There is a three-fold law of attack.

Quick story, it's the law that the attacking side needs to triple to defeat the enemy you're protecting, and if you explain it more simply, it means' protection is better than attack '.

But the offensive side can attack wherever they want when they want, so the width of the choice is greater than the protection.

Chess is also easier for beginners to take the lead by attacking than by defending.

Well, here's what Elquille thought.

Then let's attack strategically and defend tactically.

"I've been saying the right of initiative, the right of initiative for a long time now... can I come in and protect you?

"What are you talking about? Waiting is also a good way to take the lead, Carolina."

The Lemurian army, led by Erkühl, was on a hilltop a short distance from the city.

The side of the hill is through the river so you just have to pay attention to the front and the back...... it is the perfect place to protect it.

Yes, to protect.

"But I can't take the lead because I take protection, when I'm at a disadvantage..."

"If you take it. Okay, Carolina. I'm not protected or attacked. Let them attack."

Darios is very hated on this peninsula.

We are all tired of rude mercenary rule.

That is why Darios must eliminate Erkühl as soon as possible.

And if you show any weakness at all, the mercenaries could escape.

Mercenaries are not free and their lives are not light enough to fight with no prospect of winning.

War is business.

That is why Darios must defeat Erkühl.

We have to attack.

No matter how unfavourable the battlefield is,

In other words, Erkühl is in full control of the war as it stands.

There is no need to run any more soldiers and exhaust them.

"Okay, Carolina. This hill has no place to attack except the front or rear.... and on the front and rear, let the soldiers dig trenches, and hit the pile. That's enough to cover the disadvantage of troop numbers."

Erkühl took Darios by now and continued to take the lead.

But it's a suspicious place to be told if you can take the lead forever.

Because Elquille still believes that the strength of a man named Darios is certain.

In the plains, you definitely lose if you come to the meet from the front with inferior force.

Elquille was so sure.

That's why we drag our enemies into a favorable battlefield.

Write off the disadvantages of troop numbers, crush enemy strengths, and make the most of the strengths of your allies.

"Your Majesty!! From the southwest, tens of thousands of enemy soldiers! Enemy General, we can also confirm the flag of Darios!

Upon hearing a report from the scouts, Erkühl grinned uncomfortably.

Then she smiled at Carolina and pressed her lips against her cheeks.

"Ah!"

"Let me offer you a victory. Expect me."

"... Is this really the son of that Hadrianus III? Who, the inexperienced young emperors who said they were in power, etc."

That was me.

Thinking, for example, Darios sees the enemy's built position from high ground.

The enemy was building a strong position on the hill.

From a distance, it is good to see the fence and pile pierced to prevent the horse.

I don't see it, but I wouldn't have a problem thinking the trenches were dug too.

"Seal the strengths of your enemies and take advantage of the strengths of your own army. You're defending the basics of war."

It is in number that the Darios are superior to the army of Emperor Erkür.

That's why Emperor Erkür is in formation on that hill.

An attack from the side is impossible because the side is sandwiched with a river.

Only the front or back can attack.

That is, a terrain that cannot be encircled, taking advantage of the advantages of numbers.

Besides, the Lemurian army, led by Emperor Erkür, has long bow soldiers.

Longbow has the disadvantage of being difficult to train and weak compared to Crossbow, which the Darios army has...

Instead, it has a longer range and better continuous firing capability than a crossbow.

In a crossbow that is difficult to curve, you cannot counter a long bow that releases a bow from the top of the hill.

Meanwhile, Longbow can hit this one as much as he wants.

All the advantages of the Darios army have been crushed and the advantages of the Lemurian army have been fully exploited.

Let's get this straight.

Darios has no chance of beating the army.

Already, 90% of Emperor Erkür has won.

But even if we surrender here, waiting for Darios is death.

Besides, we still have 10% chance.

Then...

"I haven't run out of life yet, either, so much as pulled back here. Let me scratch you, Emperor Elquille."

Darios laughs invincibly.

Darios enjoyed an unprecedented crisis.

The soldiers led by Darios are child mercenaries, a total of 7000 for infantry 4000 and crossbow unit 3000, and 28000 for infantry hired from outside and 5000 for barbarian light cavalry.

Total 400000.

Intercepting it are 8000 heavy cavalry (Crivanarius) led by Emperor Erkür, 1500 infantry and 5000 long archers.

Total 28000.

Darios of the mercenary captain 'Black Leopard'.

Emperor of the Lemurian Empire, later known as the 'Champion of the Three Continents'.

The battle was about to begin between a famous general and a wandered mercenary captain and two young emperors who would later be wandered by a famous general.

Darios immediately began to prepare for the attack.

Front of the infantry 28000 hired from outside.

Barbarian light cavalry on the side, 5000 placed.

Behind it is a total of 7000 infantry 4000 and Crossbow Squad 3000, mercenaries of the child.

Darios' operation is simple and lucid.

It is a force push.

Rather, there can be no alternative to force pushing.

Because if you cross the river poorly and try to attack the sides, it's obvious that the arrows will come down like rain.

Most of all, Darios and I are not stupid.

Only, it was hired with gold to stand on the arrow... mercenaries and barbarians with no problem no matter how many died.

And to prevent their escape, I'm placing my child's, trustworthy elite behind my back.

Use mercenaries to crush and break through Emperor Erkür's defensive positions.

At the end of the day, stab a stop with a child mercenary.

That was Darios' thought, his best hand in the current situation.

"Well, you're predicting. If Emperor Erkür is as talented as I am, naturally I would expect this best hand."

And...

I'm lining up on the hill because I'm confident I can win even at that best.

I mean, it's impossible for Darios to win this operation.

"It's hard to tactically rewind a losing battle in strategy... but I'm not clean enough to lose, you know."

Darios incorporates another operation.

It's a second operation.

"The rest depends on the strength of the opponent."

The race was thrown.

Straight ahead, Erkühl shrugged as he looked down at the approaching mercenary infantry, 28000, from the top of the hill.

"Hmmm... still coming with that"

There are four tactics that Erkühl thought Darios could pick.

One is a crossbow squad to shoot each other in Elquille's Longbow squad, an operation to eliminate Elquille's Longbow squad.

But this cannot be possible if we know the performance of commonsense weapons.

Once upon a time, he lured a heavy mounted cavalry of the Lemurian army into the swamp and skewered it with a crossbow unit...

It is unlikely that Darios, who defeated the emperor Hadrianus in a battle that took advantage of the characteristics and topography of the soldier family, will adopt it.

The second is forcefully brought into siege.

The operation of sieging the army of Erkühl, which is forming on a hilltop, at the foot of the hill, shrinking the circle slightly and annihilating it.

But this is a bad idea under way.

The side of the hill drains time and the strength of soldiers to cross the river because the river is passing through.

Inevitably, the circle of siege collapses.

Later, it is easy to break through when gravity is on your side and you storm with a heavy-duty cavalry (Crivanarius).

After that, the defeat of the Darios army is inevitable if repeated raids are carried out from behind.

Third option.

It is to divide the forces between the front and the back, and to blame them forcefully.

This isn't a bad hand...

The question arises as to whether there is a general in the Darios army who can keep one army.

There is no possibility of betrayal, a general who can work together at a distance and, above all, lead a great army of more than 2000 years…

If there was such a thing, Darios wouldn't be cornered so far.

Only myself, because I can lead the army, because I can't leave it to you, I was poked in the gap by Elquille.

If you divide the force into two parts, it will also lead to the dispersion of the power.

In the first place, I don't think Darios would make the choice of breaking through defensive positions or cracking down on troops in critical situations.

Hence, the fourth option.

It is a force attack from the front.

That too...

"Using crushed mercenaries as the front and trusted elite behind it... as expected"

Afterwards, how much small craftsmanship is planted.

How much Elquille can see through that.

Wins and losses are determined by that.

"Shall I bet on the soldier's struggle after that?"

The race was thrown.
