Episode 4 The Battle of Sardel

The Lemurian Empire arrived in Sardel Village with one army of standing infantry, two armies of Tunda infantry, five battalions of heavily armed cavalry (Kribanarius), two battalions of archers, three battalions of Red Wolverines and three battalions of guerrillas.

Total, 51600 yen.

In contrast, the Kingdom of Fars has 30,000 infantry, 10,000 medium cavalry, 10,000 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 catapults.

Total, 5000 yen.

The two armies formed as follows:

Helena

Dalaios, Sasan VIII, Shaheen.

Sonia Erculnia

One Lemurian army, 12000.

One Farse army is converted to 1000.

The formation of Sasan VIII is simple and clear.

Thirty thousand infantry in the center, and 10,000 mixed heavy and medium cavalry on both wings.

On the other hand, Erkühl is also simple and clear.

One Standby Infantry Corps, two Tunda Infantry Corps, and two Archers Battalions were placed in the center, totalling 38400.

The Red Wolves, led by Sonia, were placed on the left wing, and the guerrillas, led by Sonia, were placed on the right, with three in the former and two in the latter with heavy cavalry.

Both sides had a simple aim.

"Vertical breakthroughs with abundant infantry power"

"Siege attack by two-wing cavalry."

Without any particular surprise, Sasan VIII and Elcure muttered.

It was Erkül who first arrived on the battlefield.

Having already obtained information that we were inferior to the cavalry force, Erkühl formed a formation on the riverside, which made it difficult for the enemy to take advantage of the cavalry force.

Near the riverside, Nea leads an Independent guerrilla force that can be used as both a cavalry and an infantry.

On the other hand, the Red Wolves, led by Sonia, a highly capable fighter, are positioned far from the riverside.

Place heavy cavalry on each to boost your strength.

Finally, I decided to lead the central infantry myself.

However, the only thing to be concerned about... is the possibility that Sharheen might use 'Closel' to freeze the river and ambush it.

Nevertheless, if you hit the enemy from the front in the plain, you'll be surrounded by surprises and nothing from the beginning.

We have no choice but to convey this to Nia and draw her attention.

On the other hand, Sasan VIII placed his troops in the same way as the textbooks, without cognizance of the difficult terrain of the cavalry.

"The power ratio in the center is about 1,000. And he's a messianic who doesn't fear death. Hmm, if we don't finish both wings quickly, we won't be able to break through."

"... the cavalry force is still too open. If we don't break through the center before the wings break through, we'll be surrounded."

Both Sasan VIII and Elcuir came to the same conclusion.

Screw it.....

The sound of drums and whistles echoes through the battlefield.

Both forces have begun their offensive.

It was the two-wing cavalry that started moving first.

First, the Lemurian left and Farse right wing battlefields.

The 7200 cavalry led by Sonia attacked the 1000 cavalry led by Daleios.....

Looked like somebody, inverted.

"Hmm, the delay tactics are the goal. But is it going to be that easy?

Dareos identified Sonia's movements as a delaying tactic to delay the resolution.

The difference in strength is about 3000, and if the two collide, the defeat of the Remlia cavalry is visible.

Therefore, by retreating, we are delaying the decision and trying to protect the side of the Lemurian army.

If Dareos ignores the cavalry led by Sonia and hits the central side of the Remlia army, Sonia will once again flip and attack the side of the right-wing Farse cavalry led by Dareos.

"Something to escape."

Dalaios increases the speed of the cavalry and approaches the cavalry led by Sonia.

But...

"Nah!?

"I'm not running away from you."

Sonia flipped rapidly as the cavalry led by Dalaios showed fatigue.

I was at the forefront of the attack.

The Red Wolf Corps 3600 is at the core, suppressing the 1000 cavalry led by Daleios.

The heavily armed cavalry (Kribanarius) circled both sides in the gap.

"Nunu... what strength!

"God is with us! Lose the heathen!!

Sonia barks loudly as she dyes her silver armor bright red.

And when I found Dalaios, I shook up my sword and attacked him.

"Come on!! Why don't you let the devil out too!!

"... not enough for rabbits."

"In that case, it seems that the Great Wall's breakthrough has exhausted its magic!!

Dalaios' swinging sword and Sonia's swinging sword collide fiercely.

The battle was somewhat leaning towards Sonia's superiority.

"General!!

"Protect Your Excellency!!

The Farse cavalry is attacking Sonia to help Dalaios, who is being hunted down.

The Red Wolves fight to prevent it.

Gradually, the battle between the Lemurian left wing and the Farse right wing turned into a mixed battle.

Meanwhile, Lemurian and Farse left wing battlefields.

Here, there were 6,000 cavalry units led by Nia and 1,000 cavalry units led by Shaheen.

The land where the two were fighting was just near the river, a tributary of the Flute River, and the ground was slightly moist.

In places like this.....

"Shoot a horse with an arrow and pull the enemy down!!

Independent guerrillas led by Nia are strong.

First, Nia had piled into the battlefield beforehand.

This pile and muddy mud made it easier for the Farth Cavalry to approach.

And the horse-drawn gesture 3600 had a long bow and attacked the cavalry who had been taken from their feet and unable to move.

Remlia's Longbow boasts excellent range.

Combined with the topographic effects of piling and muddyness, it becomes extremely vicious.

And when the Phalse cavalry attacked the Independent guerrillas of Horse-down Near through the slightest pieces of the pile and the dry spots....

Immediately, Lemria's heavily armed cavalry (Kribanarius) responded.

"... I do well even though I'm young. Looks like the quality of Remlia's soldiers and generals has improved."

Shaheen frowned, impressed.

As for him, I'd like to clear the old snowfall... but I don't think it's going to be easy.

But... but I smiled.

Then he grasped his weapon spirit, "Closel."

"As soon as I can, I'm going to have to cut the trump card."

I had an unbelievable smile.

Meanwhile, slightly behind the wings... the battle between the central Lemurian army and the central Farse army began.

The battle began with the shooting of the Lemurian Longbow and the Farse crossbow.

"... my army's Longbow has a higher range and a higher range of fire."

"But we have more crossbow troops."

Elcure and Sasan VIII muttered at exactly the same time, without expression.

Remlia's long bow is not just a long bow, it is a kind of art made using pulleys and the like.

And the Longbow soldiers who handle it are like musicians.

It is therefore difficult to increase the number.

In contrast, Farth's crossbows are mass-produced.

And even though the soldiers who handle it are not by any means poorly trained, they can be replaced.

Elcure and Sasan VIII knew about this.

After understanding their strengths and weaknesses, they were equipped to do so.

However, there was only one difference in calculation for Erqueur.

(... there seems to have been innovation in decades)

The power, accuracy, and range of the Farse Kingdom's crossbows are improved compared to before.

This was a surprise to Elcure.

But if you think about it, it's not strange.

The world's finest crossbow manufacturing technology and system is in the Far East silk country.

The kingdom of Farse goes through the path of silk and has a business relationship with the kingdom of silk.

That's why we can easily get the latest technology from Silk Country.

Both forces are gradually closing their distance while shooting at each other's arrows.

And....

At last, the two proximity units collided.
