My view, looking down from the balloon, stretches across the meadow to the far side of the horizon (quite) with gray bricks.
Is it about two and a half meters tall or three meters? Never higher than the city walls and castle walls we have seen, but it will be difficult to go beyond them with horses.
I don't feel it now that I'm looking down from the top, but I think it would be quite intimidating if I went down on the ground and approached it.
There were countries in the original world that made similar things, but when farming peoples try to deal with horseback riding peoples, they will arrive at the same idea.
In the original world it was said to be a useless long object, or that it might have been important to act as a transportation route rather than a barrier, but when I asked the people of the Idra Empire, it seems that it serves as a solid barrier in this world.
Because of that, they say it is very difficult to enter the realm of the Kingdom of Sidal.
There are watchtowers at every part of the wall, and on the other side of the wall you can also see soldiers' quarters.
Soldiers are also scattered, but it's probably because they're protecting the Great Wall, fewer in number.
Perhaps security is the main task, and if you see the enemy, there will be a large gathering of soldiers from around the area.
According to the story of the former Idra Imperial Cavalry who had attacked him, the information of the raid was quickly conveyed in a chain of drum sounds, about 1,000 in half a day. They keep coming together afterwards.
As about 20 kilometers each on both sides in half a day, maybe 25 defensemen per kilometer?
If you push it in numbers, you can cross the wall, but you can't take the horse, so they're going to have a limited range of action over there.
He had broken the wall and put the horse in it over the course of a few days, but he said that the wall had been fixed while he was looting, and he couldn't go back and caused a lot of damage.
I tried to protect the holes in the walls properly, but the cavalry was a soldier with a high attack power but not suitable for base defense, and only the infantry has an advantage on the side of a large number of Sidal kingdoms, so it was quite difficult.
According to Eina, the Great Wall extends over a distance of about 50 days by carriage from the Great River, which is the border between the Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Saidal, to the west with the former Kingdom of Markham, and to the Great Wetlands, the home of Mr. Marsh Elf, to the east.
In the original world, would you imagine something like 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers? It seems like a hell of a lot of work, but I guess it took me years to build it, and if I think I made it for a total of 3 million people, it's even 3,000 kilometers per person per meter, which makes me feel like I could do that.
Human-sea tactics are amazing. We're going to deal with that guy's ocean now...
Apparently, the opponent's watchman noticed this balloon, and when he starts to make hasty moves, Ms. Eina quickly orders the Glider Squad and the infantry to go out.
Glider units attack enemy barracks (heyya), during which the infantry overtakes the wall, a wall of three metres that is a serious obstacle to horses but easily exceeded by ladders (ladders) and ropes if human.
About 2,000 infantry men clinging to the wall. About a third of the equipment is weapons. The remainder are wax and scoops sourced in Imperial City.
Protected by escort soldiers and balloon reconnaissance, glider attacks, the soldiers dig the meadow soil one after the other and pile it up across the wall.
And the same work can be done on this side of the wall......
The number of tools was not sufficient due to less luggage, but also due to the absence of enemy obstruction, a slope about 100 metres long was completed on both sides of the wall in about half a day.
The angle of inclination is rough and loose because it is a three meter rise at 100 meters. Horses are, of course, angles that are accessible in carriages.
As long as we can make our way, all we have to do is break through at once with the mobility of the cavalry.
It must have been built with enormous effort, and the giant Great Wall, if it had a hole in one place, would have been there.
After we go through, the enemy will come and remove the slope, but we don't expect to go home, so no problem. Keep going for the Cydal Kingdom offense at once.
... Terrible considering what happened when you failed, isn't it, this operation? There's no escape route at all. Well, so was all the maneuvers I've had...
Beyond the Great Wall, we push straight for Ausal, the capital of the Kingdom of Sidal.
The defence of the Kingdom of Sidal would have been heavily dependent on the Great Wall. Although there was sporadic resistance near the border, it did not pose a problem before the breakthrough of the cavalry, and on the road most residents had evacuated to cities protected by city walls and the gates were closed tightly, and few people were seen.
It must be the wisdom of the people who have been raided many times by the Idra Empire for a long time.
Thanks to this, we can march on almost deserted fields.
Regarding the Siddhar kingdom, 'If you break a hard shell, all you have to do is eat up the soft meat packed' is a former Idra Imperial soldier's word, but it's totally barbarian and a little scary.
I mean, Aina, you often incorporate these people into your distribution and you lead it right.
'It's a strong vertical society, so it's easy if you hold your head tight,' he said, 'but I don't think it's ever going to be easy.
Well, anyway, we were able to avoid the city and push through the Kingdom of Sidal while we borrowed food and beds in the village where the inhabitants were evacuated and deserted, and six days later, on January 21, we were able to come to capture the capital of the Kingdom of Sidal, Ausal, in sight.
If you quickly raise the balloon for observation, the capital is surrounded by high and heavy walls, with a population of 500,000, according to Eina.
There is now an influx of refugees from the surrounding villages and small towns, so there would be between 600,000 and 700,000 people.
The population is much larger in the imperial capital of the Idra Empire, but it felt like a giant village spread over there on the plains, whereas this one feels like a giant city surrounded by high city walls.
The height of the city wall is about four adults. It looks like it could be about seven meters.
And at the end of the great city that spreads beyond it, you can see the royal castle with even higher walls.
At first sight, the protection is strong, and it seems difficult to attack.
Cavalry, which boasts a powerful offensive power in battle on the flat ground, is also less useful in castle attacks.
Cavalry is vulnerable to obstacles.
But our army is dominated by cavalry, with about 7,000 infantry. Moreover, balloon and glider personnel account for about a third of the time.
I don't think we can do a very decent siege, but how is Mr. Eina going to attack this giant city?
With all that doubt, I was going to line up at the end of the military council that night...
