Eina, who read my written note at first reading on measures to combat the cavalry of the Idra Empire, pondered for a while and eventually utters words forcefully.

"Grand Duke, let's launch an attack on the old king's capital."

"... are you serious? If we start a bad siege, we'll be held captive. Don't tell the cavalry to go for it."

"Yes, but with mobility, the cavalry has no enemies. If so, I believe the only way to bring it into battle in our supposed form is to lure the enemy's attacks"

"... let's hear more"

"Firstly, we'll set out where we want to lure our enemies, in favor of this one, and raise the balloon from there. Like a constant and constant lag. From the enemies of the Old King's city."

"- (decoy)"

"Yes, but I would also actually launch the glider from this balloon. It doesn't have to be many, but intermittently. Even the Old King's Capital will launch an attack, especially aimed at the Royal Castle. The enemy command will undoubtedly be placed at the Royal Castle first, so it seems to be aimed and intimidated."

"Hmmm...... but then, aren't infantry in the king's city attacking before the cavalry?

"If you see any signs of it, pound a large number of balloons from the wind into the old King's City. If you start a fire, your enemies will suffer less damage and will be nowhere to go."

"... Eina, would the King's Capital be where the Lord lived for many years? I don't know if you have any friends... but are there many people close to you?

Oh, Grand Duke, you still suspect Eina has a best friend. I know how you feel, yeah.

"To the best of my knowledge, the Old King's Capital has been hit by fire three times in the last 200 years. Reconstruction is possible even after the fourth, and if we are close people, we fear that we will lose a lot only if we lose this battle"

"... priority,"

"Yes, and I don't think it's likely that an infantry unit will come out alone. We should be grasping the information that 80,000 Royal Siddhar Army broke down in just half a day. A decent commander wouldn't think about challenging that opponent with 50,000 soldiers. First of all, you should definitely choose to attack simultaneously with your cavalry"

"... okay, so how do you respond to the key cavalry? Will the infantry in the King's City attack at the same time?

"Firstly, as for the infantry, we will send out a glider unit from the main unit that has been lined up elsewhere to attack and delay the advance as much as possible. Let the cavalry go straight under the balloon. Because the purpose is to lure you there.

Personnel on the ground get up on balloons before the enemy arrives, and the place where the cavalry entered is a mushroom. It's not desirable, but it's okay to allow entry at the same time as the worst infantry. Unless you're at an arrowless altitude, your enemies won't be able to get their hands on you, so drop them in an oil kettle from above.

You may try to pull the rope that connects the balloon to the ground and pull it down, but that's when you cut the rope from here until the wind leaves you to escape. In the meantime, we will use the ground forces to attack the enemies we have drawn into favorable terrain. "

"Uhm... I don't think it's a bad idea, but it's tough to take out 30,000 cavalry soldiers for 20,000 because of how much they've drawn into favorable terrain. Not only will they allow you to flee if you get back on your feet, but they won't be able to attack you backwards."

"I guess so. So I'm going to put up a trap."

"A trap?

"Fortunately, we now have a large number of spears captured (barely) from the Royal Siddhar Army. It is this that stands diagonally on the ground as an obstacle and inhibits the movement of the cavalry. Together, strike a sturdy pile into the ground to straighten the rope, take the horse's foot and let it fall. As the spear surrounds the evoked enemy, I think the rope is effective in placing it on the enemy's expected path, but how about it?

Mr. Eina tells the Grand Duke and the generals and staff to turn to him for judgment.

The generals had been discussing this for a while, but eventually they decided to amend Eina's proposal somewhat and adopt it.

"Thank you. First of all, then, that's a selection of places to attract cavalry. I would like to ask all of you who are good at traditional military knowledge."

Eina asks me, and the generals and staff seem to have been (cannibally) motivated by Russia, to stick around and get to the selection of places.

Since the battle so far has mostly been Mr. Eina's single-pitch, I guess I'm glad to finally get my turn around.

I'll take a look around from the balloon, too.

There are fields spread around the Wang capital, the outside of which is a meadow on one side. There are several paths stretching all over the place, and one thin river, twisting like a mite through the green.

The grass doesn't seem too dry, even though it's already a little cold in the morning and evening. If it had dried up, I would have had a fire meter... and I came up with that.

Speaking of which, I think it was just this time of year that we got flown into this world. I don't know exactly, but I remember the grass was starting to dry up a little, so maybe a little later?

Is that... around there? I miss you......

While I was completely oblivious to my purpose and immersed in sentiment, I heard the location selection was over.

About 20 km west of Wang Du.

The creek is curved, not so much wetlands, but it is a bit of cavernous.

It's a curved creek from north to east and south, so from the Wang Du direction, it looks like it's trying to fence off the creek, and if the cavalry avoids the creek, it's easier to identify the direction of entry. Nice place.

Two staff officers were dispatched to check from the ground as soon as possible, and the transport of supplies, including balloons, began.

We'll be in formation south of there.

This one does not raise the balloon, and the smoke in the cooking is not noticeable.

... I remember the day we were flown into this world, but it seems that the stars are smaller than the Earth, and the distance to the horizon is shorter, so if we were a few kilometers away, we would lose sight of each other in the shadows of the horizon.

Even from above the city walls of Wang Du, you won't see the point of sight, and you took a long enough distance to the main formation.

The balloon at the point is as prominent as you think it is, so the enemy will think it is the main unit there, but just in case, guarded soldiers will also be placed around.

According to Eina's analysis, our failure to intervene in the battle with the Royal Cydal Army meant that we had not been able to recall the cavalry at that point, so even if we called it hastily, we could afford a few more days.

In the meantime, we will do everything we can to prepare.

The next battle will be Mount Tenroku, which will determine the victory or loss of this battle...
