I can't fight when I'm hungry. The word is the truth.
An army's lifeline on the battlefield, that's nothing more than a barracks line.
It is often underestimated, but once (once) there is a problem on the line of the barracks, the soldiers deplore their gratitude.
Without maintaining it, however powerful an army may be, it becomes utterly powerless.
Now, maintain this line of barracks, but the longer its length, the more difficult it becomes.
Now the Royal Magna Army has invaded deep inside the territory of the Medes Frontier Bo Territory of the Kingdom of Arunya, and the line of barracks from the Magna itself is stretching.
The rear staff in charge of the barracks will be ready to deal with it.
This line of barracks, the main streets that run from Magna's home country to Libra, is not to be transported to heavy units, but not to a single unit from start to finish.
On its streets were set up an assembly point for supplies, a military base, which would serve as a relay point.
Through this base, supplies are being transported as appropriate.
There are two large bases.
One was situated north of the Trobo River and the other halfway between the Trobo River and the hilly area where the two armies meet.
In other words, these two food bases were the steep point for the Royal Magna Army.
Cavalry walks through the dark night.
Through a path that cannot be described as a road, going southwards as you exit onto the main street.
Destination is the southern feeding base.
As time went by, another cavalry was also sickening north on the main streets much further north than here.
The destination will be a northbound military base.
The number of its cavalry is more than two thousand each. It was a unit belonging to the Army of the Arlnian Marquis.
But where did four thousand soldiers come from?
Even the cavalry, which is diseased on the south side, is far north than the hilly areas where both Magna Arunya armies continue to stare at each other.
How could I dive into the sentinel's eyes and travel to such a position?
Answer me, they've been lurking there since the beginning.
Yes, on the Trobo River, the Royal Army and the Horsemen confront each other, since before that.
The cavalry, running north on the main street, extended its legs further north across the Trobo River, where it continued to lurk.
Similarly, the cavalry, which runs south on the main streets, is a little further south than the Trobo River.
Eating and crushing the first large quantities of food I brought in, I just kept waiting for this moment, quietly.
The Royal Magna Army is a dream.
I didn't know four thousand enemy troops were lurking far behind them in the hills.
Dispersion of forces. That's basically supposedly taboo.
Even large armies that retain their advantage are hesitant to do so.
Not to mention what the side that is turning to inferior defense in numbers does.
Shizukuishi, however, built a solid defensive position called the Field Castle.
As long as it's caged in there, it doesn't matter if there's a slight troop difference.
There were few reasons to avoid the dispersal of forces.
Besides, in the Battle of Cage Castle, it kills the strength of a soldier called a cavalry.
Needless to say, the strength of the cavalry lies in its mobility.
It's not funny to let them stay in one place.
Then, too boldly, he handed out the vast majority of the cavalry scratched from the entire Horse Army as ambushes.
The ambush proposal thus devised was an ambush proposal in accordance with the principle of manoeuvre, utilizing the strength of the cavalry.
The principle of manoeuvre is to send troops to the final point as soon as possible - in a short time when the enemy army is unable to respond - to establish an advantage on the spot.
The final points here are two food bases.
Of course, each base will have guards assigned to it.
But I can expect that number to be not so high.
Besides, there is not a high level of vigilance.
Two thousand ambush units each is a good place to be widowed from across the battlefield.
But it will be a sufficient threat to the guards at the base.
With its mobility, it instantly launches an attack on the base.
On the way, it could hit an enemy sentry net. But we don't give them time for enemy reinforcements to rush.
Finish everything before then.
Within the night, the ambush unit was the mind's reckoning to tread the journey to the troop base.
An ambush unit that walks through the dark night, momentarily and approaching the base.
That was the identity of Shizuku's prepared dark sword, which Zhu was convinced of and General Maximilian had a bad feeling about.
A red sun began to peek into his face in the eastern sky.
This is a soldier base set on the south side of the Trobo River, slightly further from there.
At the speed of the cavalry, in ten minutes, it was such a place to reach the military base.
Two thousand ambushes were approaching that point.
The man in it, the commander, looked around at the faces of his men around him.
Overnight, running through with all my might, I could see some fatigue.
But at the same time I could see Daw Young, who was not concerned about it either, in the faces of the soldiers.
If this is the case, there's no problem.
Yes, the commander's man decides.
"Gentlemen, we're finally here! More than this, we ambush an enemy food base!
To the commander's remarks, the soldiers' audience grew ever more.
"The number of guards is unknown. But even if it's somewhat more than ours, it doesn't deserve to be feared. Because if you run into a total alertless ambush, you can't possibly be upset and fight decently!
A commander who waits for his men to swallow his remarks and continues to speak further.
"Sleep-eyed enemy soldier, drain him! Decide victory with our hands!
"" "" Whoa, whoa!!!
To the commander's throne, the cavalry that rises in ambition.
Keep up the momentum and rush to the troop base.
Then, after about ten minutes, he arrives at the base.
Outside the base, you can see the appearance of multiple tents, surrounded by simple fences.
And it would be a sentry, the men standing by the fence shouting something as they put their surprises on their faces.
"Eliminate only the soldiers who stand up to you! Drop the fleeing soldiers! Take the resistance away quickly and set the supplies on fire!
My men storm the base to respond to the commander's cry.
The enemy's guards seem surprised and unable to fight back effectively.
I can do it! I can use this as a trap for my food base!
The commander of the ambush unit is so convinced.
But that certainty shakes without setting aside the time.
- Why? Why can't you push it in?
Multiplied by the first confusion, he took over a large number of soldiers.
And why is that? Why are these followers springing up!?
The Commander is bewildered by unexpected circumstances.
No matter how much, isn't this number of guards unusual!
Why, why, so tightly guarded!?
"No! Too many enemy guards to break through!
I get a screaming report from my men.
"Grunt, we have to stop. At least light a nearby tent!
You can't come this far and do nothing.
Light only the tent near the entrance. Most of all, how much damage did you do?
Operation Surprise was a complete failure. At least on this occasion.
"Retreat, all units retreat!
An ambush force retreating, unable to do much work.
The commander bites his teeth as he drives his horse.
"… why. Why, why, why!
Finally, the commander of the ambush squad raises a voice of doubt in his voice.
His doubts, in particular.
Certainly an unusual number of guards were protecting the food base.
The guard had just been reinforced the other day.
It was General Regula who gave the order.
It was one of the measures he took to protect himself from witch threats, both in discipline.
Nothing, General Regula, did not notice the presence of ambushes.
However, I wondered what would happen if my own army were to allow the reversal.
First up is still the kind of surprise attack.
In fact, General Hoover has also been defeated by an ambush.
Then let's consolidate the whole defense of the place where we are in trouble for being ambushed.
Fortunately, the self-armies outnumber the numbers.
Somewhat, I don't mind ripping the numbers to the defense.
That's how General Regula made his decision.
Therefore, Shizukuishi's plan was frustrated.
Most of all, it wasn't a complete failure.
We made it to reinforce the guards at the southern base, but we didn't make it to the more distant northern base.
As a result, the supplies at the northern military base were to be burned down.
Deal a devastating blow to the enemy station.
On top of that, we destroy the Royal Magna Army, which loses its barracks and falls into the extreme of chaos and exhaustion.
That was Shizukuishi's strategy.
But that ends halfway.
As a result of the loss of one of the military bases, the ability of the Royal Magna Army to continue fighting was lost.
But order left only enough food to retreat into the country.
In the end, the Army of the Arlnian Marquis could only drop off the retreating Royal Magna Army with its fingers crossed.
Seventy-three and five years of sacred history, from the Red Horse Moon to the Biryu Moon.
The Kingdom of Magna, the Second, Fifth and Sixth Troops invade the Medes Border Uncle Territory.
Arlunian Marquis forces joined forces to intercept this, mainly former Crown Prince Konrat.
At the beginning, the war bureau took the form of defending the Royal Magna Army, which outnumbered the number, in the form of the use of terrain by the Army of the Arlunian Marquis.
Noteworthy here is the field castle supposedly conceived by Sizuk.
For the first time in the history of war, a large number of doctrines assume that full-scale field castles were used.
The Horse Army used this field castle to prevent the main enemy offensive, while poking a gap and launching an ambush attack on the military base, urging the withdrawal of the Royal Magna Army.
In the end, this battle was rallied without victory or defeat and remained a draw.
Most often, it is pointed out that the original aim of Sizuk, who allegedly took the proposed operation, was not to encourage the withdrawal of the Royal Magna Army, but to destroy the Royal Army after a devastating blow to the barracks.
The truth is uncertain, but as a result, the Expeditionary Force of the Kingdom of Magna returned to its home country without any further damage.
Since then, in order to counter the kingdom of Magna, which has retained its power, former King Konrat Prince and other Liberation Armies will deploy a new battlefield.
