Continental Hero Senki
Deception
Forward, enemy position confirmed.
"What about the force?
It was on October 2 that the pioneer reconnaissance unit of the Eastern Continental Imperial Army discovered the position he had built, as Yuzef Waresa had expected, or had hoped.
At this time, the nearby alienation operation was still on its way, and it was only with the knowledge that the Imperial Army was in a situation where the Royal Army, sitting on the ground, had to struggle as a palace to protect them.
"It's a little far and clear...... from the number of regimental flags, there will be more than 10,000 for sure. Or maybe more than 20,000."
"Uhm... that's a pain in the ass. If they were lords, they would protect this place with the intention of dying. Our vanguard unit alone is not good enough."
This pioneer reconnaissance unit belongs to the First Army, led by Emperor Sergei Romanov, with the Eastern Continental Imperial Army as the main force. It is a reconnaissance cavalry belonging to Army IV led by General Vladimir Sirokov, who had caught up with Army I, who was at rest after the showdown, and who remained on the run and laid down his vanguard role.
They were previously ordered by Sergei Romanov to pursue and reconnaissance the enemy's defeated forces, but were wolfish in the presence of this unexpected enemy.
Because, by the Third Battle of Gadone-Dorgier, he was all but convinced that he had destroyed the main force of the army of the Kingdom of Silesia.
Therefore, this information brought about by the reconnaissance forces has in some ways caused little confusion to the Fourth Army Command.
"Stupid, I can't believe they're rebuilding their attitude so quickly... too soon for anything"
"I may have underestimated the number of enemies. There is no way we can deploy troops so quickly. Should we not assume that there is still more than 100,000 room in the kingdom, if we take into account the defeated troops of the earlier meetings and the soldiers to be mobilized?
Thus, the faces of the IV Army Command fall into a very suspicious state.
The Eastern Continental Empire was once a complete defeat in the Spring War to the kingdom of Silesia, which is unlikely to lose first because of national power differences. At that time, the battle lesson of "Do not underestimate the enemy" accumulated in the current state of memory still creeping into the brains of many generals, leading to overestimation of the enemy.
In addition, rumors had erupted near the battlefield that "the Royal Silesian Army is entering the preparatory phase of counter-attacks". The intrusion is only a rumor, but even that rumor was certainly too powerful to accelerate the confusion in the IV military command.
Even though there are only 5,000 troops in the trap set by Yuzef Waresa, its deceptive manoeuvres and the inherent suspicion and "fear" of the kingdom are not strange stories even if they show them more illusions than they really are.
It would have been a dumb story.
"The overall strategy depends on His Majesty's willingness... but we should concentrate here on foes and gathering intelligence to avoid a steep advance. My army can afford troops, but I don't care about the barracks. The enemy will carry out Operation Scorched Earth, and it will not be in His Majesty's grace to force him here to storm and increase the damage"
Admiral Shilokov judged that to be the case, although he would be vigilant against this "Royal Army position with more than 10,000 troops," he did not launch an offensive once.
Thus, as Yuzef thought, even though there was an absolute difference in force, the front glued once.
But the Fourth Army, which sits in front of the position, is overwhelmed with 100,000 troops, and it is self-evident that if the Royal Army position is nursed to be Haribote, it will instantly suffer the worry of total annihilation.
It is impossible to deal with 100,000 for 5,000, even if Yuzef is a man who gets pleasure in letting the shady, cunning and trapping run over.
"That's why Sarah's here."
In that situation, he just tells his friend Radek.
It was because a warrior named Sarah Marinovska believed there was no doubt that he would succeed if he followed his conceived operation, but Radek thought he was not nervous nonetheless.
On the other hand, speaking of Sarah Marinovska in question, she was not already in the position.
The elite 3rd Cavalry Regiment was making a huge detour to the battlefield, hiding itself.
And in front of her, many carriages walk wide. There is only one reason why so many carriages walk on this battlefield.
This is the Yuzef maneuver given to Sarah, the basic tactic of the cavalry: "guerrilla warfare utilizing mobility, trade sabotage battle".
"- Let's go, shout!
When Sarah's, or Sarah's, troops raise their voices, that is the moment when the victory is already confirmed.
Where are the transport units that can withstand the 3000 Assault of the Elite Cavalry Regiment?
The period during which Operation Deception and the accompanying Commercial Destruction operation were carried out from Yuzef was approximately two weeks. In the meantime, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, led by Sarah Marinovska, travels many times between positions and battlefields, conveniently raiding enemy convoys 17 times.
All the damage was combined to 103 horsemen only, whereas the Imperial Army's transport route is dimensioned by the way.
Along the way, even when I encountered a cavalry of escorts,
"Enemy cursed! Use your manoeuvres to split up and destroy each! Don't push me!
And it was not only once that he shouted the most to fly the instructions taught by Yuzef, and crushed his enemies in the mood of tearing.
By means of a series of battles, the damage suffered by the Imperial Army IV Army was devastating: 1594 wagons, 1086 military horses, and the cavalry of the escort also lost more than 800 rides; 50% of the supplies of the attacked convoy were burned, 30% looted by Sarah and the remaining 20% recovered by the local inhabitants.
Although the IV Army also responded by increasing escorts and so on, it was not possible to finally strike an effective crackdown before the Shinto Marinovska Cavalry Regiment, and the daily damage to the increasing convoy and the dilution of frontal forces due to the division of the force into escorts and alerts forced the IV Army Command to retreat on a massive scale, believing that enemy counter-attacks were imminent in front of it.
Also at this time, 13 soldiers from the IV Army Station said they had lost their stomach to the loss of the convoy, and several of them were rendered incapable of combat and evacuated.
And back after the 17th raid, the words Sarah said to Yuzef,
"How can we all lose to such mutton fish?
Says it was.
No one could say that Sarah Marinovska was just too strong.
