Episode 107: Equus Battle

The border between King Rossais and the Equus is a rather high mountain range called the Alva Mountains.

To the west of the mountains is the king of Rosais, and to the east is the Equus country.

The mountains are ... mutual use, demilitarized.

In other words, there is no clear border line. Well not unusual on the Adernia peninsula.

Three thousand cavalry led by Redus crossed the Alva Mountains.

There is no response from King Rossais's country. That is, the request was denied.

Basically, equestrian people are very meritocracy. In other words, what Redus did was not praised, but if he beat Muzio, he would be recognized as a patriarch.

After all, Redus' grandfather, the father of King Equus, killed his patriarch and took his wife, daughter and patriarchal status.

Strong ally. That is the attitude of the Alva.

They are descendants of flat-faced tribes, though mixed races are almost assimilating with the Ardenians.

And Redos has a personal desire to get Laquera.

You can get married right now, but ...

Redus's belief is that giving the head of her ex-husband instead of an engagement sheep will give up.

This would make Redus sound like a devil, but it's a standard Alba thinking.

For equestrians, women and wealth are deprives.

Cuckolding is a daily occurrence.

There are three routes from Alva Mountains to the kingdom of Rosais. Let's say ABC from the north.

First, A route. The road is steep and the most detour, so you don't usually go through it.

But it's complicated and an effective way to escape and hide. Muzio fled through here.

Next, route B. It is the shortest road. And the unevenness of the ground is the smallest.

The B route is often used by merchants. It is also the road through which the messengers of King Rossais pass.

However, this road is so narrow that it is not suitable for army movement.

Finally, C route. This is the road where Redos and others are marching.

The unevenness is moderate, the distance is intermediate. However, because of the wide road, it is suitable for marching.

The Equus do not use wagons, but instead move sheep. Walking food.

If the road is too narrow, sheep will not be able to walk. Divided into small numbers, but different ... Dispersion of troops is stupid.

Naturally, the enemy should be aware of it.

"Perhaps the enemy is waiting at the entrance of this canyon, because it would be disadvantageous to fight on the plains."

Redus tells his grandfather walking next.

Redus' grandfather was one of the chiefs of the Great Warrior. It is a warlord of the past battle.

"I think so too. The patriarch. It's important to be careful about ambush. This terrain is perfect for hiding soldiers."

The warrior looks around.

No matter how cavalry, you can't escape if you're shot behind your back. Here, the mobility of the cavalry cannot be fully utilized.

"The report from the hawk, patriarch. It seems that the Rossais army is trying to block the way. There are 5,000 infantry and 300 cavalry. There are also many fences for cavalry measures. not"

So it was reported to Redus that Lydia became the leading magician and was the intelligence of the Roselle kingdom.

Lydia's true lords are Mari and King Roselle, but unless Redos wins, the siege will not be truly complete.

Therefore, Lydia was fully supportive.

"I see ... thank you. I look forward to it."

"Thank you"

Lydia bowed with a smile in her heart and fell.

On that day, Redos watched out, spreading the Yurt and letting the soldiers rest.

To prepare for the tomorrow's decisive battle ...

"Muzio! Come out! Escaped coward, or are you afraid to come out? Still a horse-riding people!

Redus shouts at the Rossais army. Subsequently, Redos soldiers provoked losaith and Muzio loudly.

Muzio comes out of the camp with his soldiers, perhaps because he has not been able to withstand so much requisition.

"They are the cowards !! What is a night raid and you're going to fall asleep? Still a horse-riding people? I'm totally ashamed as an older brother. I use that kind of hand because I don't have much confidence. You're a coward! "

Ezus cavalry led by Mzio and infantry from the Rossais flee the field as Muzio supports.

Redos smiled.

"Isn't it okay? Let's beat one!"

Redus says so and moves forward. Without taking soldiers.

If this happens, Muzio will have to take a duel.

It is not enough to win this battle. Muzio must show off his strength.

Otherwise, you would be licked if you were powerless without the support of the Rossais Army.

"What do you do? Do you play the bow?

"No, you can use a sword that you are good at, because if I use a bow you will definitely lose."

Muzio to say with plenty of room. Redus licks his tongue.

"I do not know even if I regret it!"

The two kick the belly of his horse and start at once.

Swords and swords intersect violently.

Both do not have stirrups, so it is the thigh muscles that support the body.

Now that they are striking each other, it can be said that both are excellent warriors.

The sound of heavy collision between iron and iron echoes in the canyon.

The two armies drink a saliva and watch the game.

"Don't do it, brother"

"You are the only one"

They approach, play, and move away from each other.

Continue it over and over.

"Oh oh!"

Redus's sword strikes Muzio's sword strongly.

The vibrations travel down the sword and shake Redus's arm strongly.

"I can't figure out a single duel."

Muzzio says and runs with his back. In other words, he ran away.

Redus wins.

"Wait! Do you turn your back on the equestrian people ?!"

Redus starts running to beat Muzio. Following the Redus, 3000 Equus cavalry will follow.

It is getting closer and closer to the enemy line.

Redus was a little worried.

(Should I charge ...?)

Redus looks at the horse fence in front of him.

Not very expensive. No, not exactly low enough to stop the Equus cavalry. It would be effective enough to stop the cavalry of agricultural people.

If you try a little, you can jump. Naturally, it is evident that arrows and spears will attack themselves if the horse stops on the fence ...

Redus looks back at the soldier once.

"Ooooooo !!!"

The soldiers are following us straight. Morale, enough energy.

You should believe in warriors and horses here.

"let's go!!"

With morale, Redus charges on the horse fence. Raise the horse's neck with force.

Aima takes the intent of Redus and kicks the ground strongly.

Jumping over the horse fence, Redos slashed into the infantry of the Rossais.

The infantry, who had been careful to stop at the fence, could easily lose their intentions.

"Enclose! I'll kill you around!"

Blood gushes from the body of a man who seems to be a centurion. It was the warrior chief who cut through.

"Don't protrude too much"

"Thank you, grandfather."

One after another, the Equus cavalry led by Redus invades the camp. Some have failed, but only a few. After all, Equus cavalry cannot be prevented by such a horse-fence.

Rebuilding is no longer effective.

Both the Rossais infantry and cavalry give up their positions and escape.

"What a big deal. Let's go! I'm aiming for Mzio and the head of King Rossais!"

Redus screams and starts running. The cavalry will follow Redus.

Slash and kill the Rossais infantry who flee one after another.

The winner has already been decided.

Redos soldiers are convinced of the victory and ponder the goods they are looting.

Among them, there was a man whose face was not alone.

Great warrior chief.

(It's going too well ...)

The enemy has the same Equus tribe, Muzio. You will notice that the height of the horse fence is not enough.

And the enemy has too little resistance.

And the flag.

It is strange that there is a soldier throwing a flag because he has lost so much, but no flag has fallen.

"The patriarch! It's strange. The retreat of the enemy is too brilliant. It's likely to be a trap! Let's go back."

"Tell me idiot! What traps are there in this situation? The sorcerer has reported that there are no ambushes. If there are so few to overlook, it should be negligible. I can't help! "

Good.

It is just a warrior's intuition that something is wrong. It's more likely that you're just wrong.

The army cannot be moved just by the intuition of the old man.

"If you say so ..."

The warrior as close as possible to Redus. So that we can protect when something happens.

Run through the team as it is.

Soon after, they pass through the enemy line and are slashed by the back of the retreating Rossais army.

That was the time.

"Th-This is!"

The smell of oil irritated the warrior's nostrils.

But it's too late.

The Rossais light infantry and Muzzio-led Equus cavalry who had fled so far turned.

I fired a fire arrow.

The fire arrow ignites the oil scattered on the ground and burns at once.

"Let's work!"

Redus curses and curses the horse.

But there is no problem to this extent.

A fire gauge is not established just by sowing oil. Oil burns quickly and disappears.

There is no wood around.

The amount of oil is only small enough to be noticed when approaching the ground where it was sown.

Horses are afraid of fire, so they can't go where the fire is happening ...

The ground on which the fire is lit is not a large area. Turn around enough.

"Haha, you're stupid! I think you can stop the cavalry with this level of fire !?"

Dodon!

As Redus shouted, the roar echoed.

The ground suddenly exploded. The explosion spreads in a chain and the surroundings are wrapped in white smoke.

The explosion itself was not a big deal, just a few unlucky squirrels blew away.

But the sound and smoke from the explosion were more than enough to light the horse's fear.

"Wow Aa!!!"

Redus's horse runs wild. Redus rushes down the horse.

And look around.

30% of the cavalry are dropped from the horse, and 40% are doing their best to cling to the rampaging horse.

The last 30% only manages to restrain the horse like Redus.

There, the heavy infantry and cavalry of the Rosaiss charge.

Already, the power of the Equus cavalry has been lost.

"Run away, Redus !!!! I'll be taken down as it is. Somehow I will gain time!"

The Great Warrior shouts. The honorifics are lost because the warrior himself is confused and cannot afford.

"OK, I understand!"

Redus says so and tries to escape.

However, an arrow pierces the ears of Redus.

"Hey, do the equestrians show their backs?"

Mzio said, holding a bow.
