"What is that...?!

Piata shocked.

The Silver werewolf, a heavy assault spear cavalry, was completely stopped.

A silver werewolf assault with a heavy armored horse.The impact force is hardly accessible to humans.No matter how "black walls" are referred to as the best in the West, they are also human beings.If you are attacked by a silver werewolf who looks after you, even the most glorified line of walls will open a hole.

I thought so.

However, in fact, even the Silver Wolf soldier's Special Attack didn't even allow him to touch the soldiers, rather than holes in the line.

Seeing the sight, Piata obviously wanted to accept it.

"My heavy assault spear cavalry, which I was sure would sweep the battlefield for a hundred years - my silver werewolves...!

The Piata idea could never be said to be overconfident.

Even on Earth and in ancient times, the heavy cavalry were only auxiliary to the main infantry.Cover the main force by threatening (yawning) the enemy's back, or chase down and destroy defeated enemies.That was the main role of the heavy cavalry.

However, as the times entered the Middle Ages, heavy cavalry with long spears and armor - that is, knights - rose on the battlefield.

The so-called "Horse Age" is also called the "Knight Age".

Horseback assaults were the chief means of attacking the knights of this era.

Henri II wrote in the Armed Imperial Decree of 1181 that "the cavalry needs only spears in battle", and there is no doubt that in the twelfth century the knight's main means of attack was horseback assault, as in the passage of the holy Palestinian crusade in the annals of the same time that "the first attack was always horseback assault."

With this horseback assault as a weapon, medieval knights have broken down their infantry lines, defeated them, and won.

In light of the history of this planet, it is no wonder that in this same Celdaean continent heavy horseback raids have swept the battlefield for centuries.

It was precisely Piata who was the pioneer that the "era of knights" was about to be opened up in the Celdaean continent.

But in order to defeat Piata, the blue horse made the dwarf take the form of a "black wall".

It was the Spanish side of Telcio that became the prototype.

It was the idea devised by the general of the Kingdom of Spain, Gonzalo Fernández de Gordoba, who was said to have won a great victory against the heavy cavalry of the French army in the battle of Cerignola in 1503 and decided to end the "era of cavalry".

"Don't be ridiculous, Destroyer!

Without knowing that, Piata knew.

Now, the formation in front of me is a terribly orchestrated formation for the anti-cavalry.

"Still, just once!It's only once!

Piata put heavy assault spear cavalry into battle only in Mirza.That being said, the Destroyer brought out the anti-heavy assault spear cavalry formation as soon as possible.

Moreover, this is not a baked blade.It was created over many years with information and many trials and mistakes.

Yes, Piata was intuitive.

At that time, Piata's deep voice rises to her ears.

Fear the Son of Destruction.Oh, he's the Destroyer of Time.As we move forward, he jumps many steps, and if he runs with our horses, he flies with his wings.Trying to defeat such a guy is a tough business!

It was the word that Piata had begged General Darius, his master and admirer in the plains of Carrilea, to teach him, and to bid him farewell.

"Exactly, the Destroyer of Time.The era of the heavy assault spear cavalry I was about to cut open was destroyed in an instant..... "

It is the words of the honourable General Darius.Piata never meant to take the contents lightly.On the contrary, I am convinced that I still take it very seriously.

However, in view of the current situation that has still been pointed out, Piata can't imagine that even that recognition was sweet.

Indeed, the feared is the Son of Destruction!

Piata shouts out her voice as if she were shaking away the fear that was buzzing inside her chest.

"But it's a mess!The battle has just begun!

I'm still in the middle of a fight.It's not like I'm stunned.

Piata analyzed the situation by drawing the previous scene behind her head while keeping the horse running for turnaround.

First, the problem is the "black wall" defensive wall.In a covert Romanian exercise, most infantry was in a state of panic, disturbing the line, and fleeing ahead when they saw a silver werewolf horse attack.

That's how powerful the Silver Werewolves are in horseback racing.

However, the "black wall" bounced back by strong leadership and unity, defeating the silver werewolves with orderly shields and spear walls.

Piata couldn't help but say that.

The Spanish side of Telcio is said to have put an end to the "cavalry era" on Earth, but even before that, there were formations of heavy-duty cavalry assaults by heavily armed infantry.

According to contemporary documentation, heavily armed infantry responded to heavy cavalry assaults by preventing attacks in a formation called the "Shield Wall", arranged to stack shields, and counterattacking with a long spear.The well-formed "Shield Wall" was strong, and the heavy cavalry didn't break it, but before that, they stopped raiding, turned back, and defeated.

However, this "Shield Wall" required a high level of command, skill and morale.

He stood in front of the heavy cavalry that were coming in.It was only under the command of a trusted general, but also under the pressure of a heavy cavalry, and with comrades who fought side by side in the same way.

However, if one of them is afraid to flee, the heavy cavalry will storm there.Then, like an empty ant hole in the embankment, it breaks down the entire line from there.

At that time, the majority of the infantry were conscripted peasants and citizens, with low training and morale.As a result, it is said that this "shield wall" was rarely functional.

That's why heavy cavalry assaults continued to be an effective method of warfare against infantry, even though they were sometimes counterattacked.

The Spanish side of Telcio, which is said to have finished the heavy cavalry's horseback assault, tends to attract attention only in formations, but there is something else to be really noticed.

It means that Tersio was a volunteer and close to a standing army.

In other words, it combines the high command required by the "Shield Wall" with the skill and morale of the soldiers.

And the "Black Wall", which Piata and the Hundred-Wolves were made to oppose by a strange blue horse, was originally the national army of the Former Nation - that is, the standing army.Besides, it's the best of the best, the strongest of them all.

It was because of them that I stood up resolutely to my first horseback ride.

However, Piata was within my expectations.

Assuming that only the silver werewolves would be able to defeat the enemy's line, we have organized the traditional light cavalry, the Golden werewolves.If the werewolves continued to throw their spears unilaterally from a distance beyond the reach of the spear, no matter how "black walls" they wore out, I thought that one day they would be exhausted.

However, for Piata, the unexpected presence of enemy soldiers prevented the thought.

"The trouble is with those Dwarves' crossbowmen."

For Piata, the presence of Dwarf's crossbowmen was unexpected.

Crossbows aren't a weapon to take out in the field.The crossbow has its power and range in sight, but it is a fatal disadvantage to take too long to reload.It doesn't make sense to shoot one or at most two incoming enemies.If enemy soldiers push us over while we reload for a long time, we'll be kicked out.A bow and arrow that can shoot a number of shots is much less powerful than a crossbow.

For this reason, crossbows are originally handled by defensive facilities such as castles and fortifications while protecting themselves.

However, a crossbow that was not supposed to be useful in the field now dominated the scene.

Piata, who had been thinking about what this was all about, gazed happily.

"A crossbow on the 'Black Wall'....!

Piata raised her face in silence to immerse herself in her thoughts and looked at the state of the war.

The Hundred-Wolves were confused by an unexpected counterattack.In some cases, there is even a disturbance in the queue.From the enemy's point of view, now is the perfect time to fight back.It is the usual way to advance your troops and chase them to fleeing enemies.However, the "black wall" is still not moving from the spot.

No, I can't move.

If all the soldiers are of the same type, we should issue a decree and have them do the same thing.However, that formation was filled by crossbowmen, Dwarves, in a line of heavily armed spear infantry, the Black Wall.That's why we have to direct each soldier, and we can't act quickly and flexibly.

Robust defensive walls with heavily armed spear infantry obtained at the expense of such mobility.

And crossbowmen who shoot powerful crossbows while being protected by it.

Piata knew exactly what the battlefield looked like.

"I see! Son of a bitch!You! You... "

A strong barrier standing in front of incoming enemy soldiers.

Crossbowmen rely on it to shoot enemy soldiers.

In other words, it is the look of the siege battle itself.

"You dragged us into the battle against the castle, not the battle!!"

Piata is stunned by what happened.

Cavalry is a military discipline that exerts its power in battle on the plains.And this battle was also a field battle in the plains, and I thought it was convenient.

However, the status quo is the attack on the castle itself.It's just a stupid bone, like attacking a castle with a cavalry.Even if they attack, each horse collides against the wall or is shot with a crossbow.

What should I do? How can we break the status quo?!

Piata thinks desperately, biting her back teeth tightly.

After a while Piata smiled spectacularly as she pasted a dark shadow on her face.

That's right. Finally, this is a castle attack.

If so, we should take appropriate measures.Just as the Son of Destruction regarded the "Black Wall" as a castle wall, so should the Silver Wolf Soldier - the Heavy Assault Spear Cavalry - be used as an assault vehicle for castle weapons.

Raid silver werewolves into the same spot one by one, like a real chariot.That way, no matter how "black walls" are, they are not real walls.One day, the spear will run out, the shield will be torn, and the line will be holed up.

However, it means that, after suffering and misery, the silver werewolves who were finally formed as troops were used as consumables and crushed.

Perhaps - no, no doubt if I give the order, the silver werewolves, including Demetria, will gladly turn their bodies and lives into chariots and storm the "black wall".

But it was painful enough to distract his own flesh.

It was like shredding a soul.

And it was also a joy.

Bet everything to achieve your ambitions.

What a sweet bet it is.

What an exciting match!

Piata barks with high spirits, laughing at herself as insane.

"Very well, Son of Destruction!If I can't beat you if I don't give up not only my pride, but the lives of many people who admire me!

And Piata smiles at her teeth.

"But now and in ancient times, the guards of the castle and the castle lord who broke down the walls remind me that the only destiny awaits is to kill!

Piata shook up her right arm to instruct the Silver Wolf to attack while still smiling at the fierce wolf.

"Silver werewolves! Turn yourself into an ambush and shatter the walls!

Yes, I was on the verge of issuing a decree.

The words that came out of Piata's throat and the right arm that was swinging down stopped sharply.

…… What is it?! "

Piata was stopped by the anger that came from the left wing of the Romanian National Army.
