The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 212: Battle at the Hot Bridge

I watched the Hot Bridge from a slightly open hilltop with a telescope like a cylinder made by Senior Lily.

A tremendous number of armies are deployed across the river from the bridge.

Exactly the big army, something like that.

The Rube family also gathers about 3,000 troops on this side, but not ten times the number of opponents.

I had an anthropic impression in front of the elephant, probably thirty times, about forty times worse.

It's a shitty amount of military, even though it was anticipated beforehand from a report from Leelika Kukrillison.

At least, during the last Crusade, there were clearly more armies than we saw before the meeting.

"That's a tremendous amount of armies..."

Dimitri Daz said as if he was stunned.

This was on a hill on the side of the Rube family on the river, the Howe family faces came and watched the game.

Gino Toga, busy with the last adjustment, wasn't here, but there are more or less others.

This place was originally created as a base for the Rube family to keep the eagle flying at four or six hours, with trees cut out of the way of sight and a round boy near the head of the hill.

I guess I exaggerate a little too much to say a fortress or a base, and I have about a fence, but nothing more.

I wish I could see across the river, so I didn't even stand like a sight.

"That could be over a hundred thousand if you do it badly."

"Damn, that's frightening."

"The countries are more than ten times the size of this one when it comes to total area. Many more."

In addition, the harvest from that area is not small.

Rather, it's so much more than double over here.

Even when it comes to the percentage of habitable land, there will definitely be more than this one with lots of mountains and lakes and swamps.

"... it's starting to move"

Tigris Hammon said.

The river that flows between the two is about a hundred meters wide, and the hot bridge takes the form of a continuous arch bridge there.

As you can see from what I've seen, it's a calm river, and this season is not moving fast.

According to Kien's story, the depth is also only to the point of immersion in the water from knee to leg.

Water temperatures are a little cold this time of year.

In other words, a river that normally crosses on foot, becomes.

Since I come to a low gradient flat, the type of river widths are gnarly, so I can't even build weirs upstream to spit out the stored water and push the troops down the river.

He said there was land, etc., but made the plan stop.

Because even if the weirs naturally produced in the mountains are cut off and the earth currents occur, they have little effect near the estuary, just as they have little effect.

When we calculated the flow rate, we could only expect the effect of the river surface rising by at most about 4 cm.

Whatever you think, you're not going to be able to stop the crossing.

Kien also doesn't intend to stop the crossing, but plans to use the bridge successfully to do as much damage as possible.

Previously, this bridge was partially collapsed by a gunboat and Kien is repairing it first aid.

A long round thickness was lined up, the flat plate was nailed over and flattened with a scab.

Kien left it there.

In other words, the bridge remains in a passable form.

"Now, Lord Kien's battle, let me show you..."

"Right."

Dimitri participated in the previous crusade, as well as in the previous one, which meant watching the game.

I'm looking at two crusades.

Being a crusader before that, forty-two years ago, Dimitri should still have been a baby.

"Really, can we beat that army..."

Tigris said something weak.

Tigris said that, contrary to Dimitri, the previous Crusader had only watched the game and had participated in the previous Crusader.

"You can win. We should draw him to the King's Landing."

Me too, just don't put it in my mouth, I'm worried on the inside.

I thought I could handle a lot of enemies, but I didn't think I could handle more than 100,000.

Was it 80,000 last time?

From those guys, I guess it feels like pushing them into a closing special sale.

Good annoyance.

"Looks like you're going to use the bridge."

Tigris is watching the enemy formation with his own telescope.

What you're looking at would be the same place as me.

Pioneers of the Crusades are starting to move forward with their feet on the bridge.

After all, would this happen if the bridge remained?

If we were to enter the river and cross it, we would have to put tens of thousands of people in the river at the same time.

Whatever it is that soldiers' clothes get wet, compared to the two, it would be a matter of humanity wanting to use a bridge.

Because there's a bridge in front of you that you can walk without getting wet, even if you don't walk at the bottom of the river exposed to defenseless blunt feet in front of your enemies.

"Looks like we're going to shoot an arrow."

From the Rube family side, a flat arrow flew.

It's not an arrow that fires at the target, it's a curved arrow that lets it pour like rain.

The distance is about 100 meters, so it never arrives.

When I clarified my ears, I didn't hear any wood blurring.

Fortunately for Kien, it seems windless.

The first shot fell flat on the river, but the second shot poured over the enemy on the bridge.

The Crusaders, when they perceived that the arrows had come, set up their shields like roofs.

Ready.

"Looks like the first aid bridge is cracked."

Dimitri said, so point the telescope there.

"Oh, it's kind of... you're definitely crossing. You're scared because you're gonna be underfoot."

Kien said she was going to put a cut in Marutai on the bridge where she did first aid repairs.

Seemed to have actually let it in, and the soldiers walking on it seemed confused by the discomfort coming from the soles of their feet and hesitant to move on.

Perhaps it feels like a swinging suspension bridge, with the bridge up and down.

Besides, there are no columns at the emergency repair site.

If your allies push you, you'll be upside down to the river about five meters down.

Even though it falls on water, five meters should be tall enough to make people feel like they're in danger of dying.

"In that one...... yeah. If I were you, I'd attack you at the same time as the bridge on the river. Because the attack on the bridge should also be neglected."

Tigris said.

"I guess I'll do the same. It feels a little clear."

The Rube army is concentrating its forces on the bridge.

At about 20,000, if we allow the river to cross at the same time from parts other than the bridge, Tigris is right, the power has to be dispersed there.

The force on the bridge is also expected to be less after the crossing, so it makes sense to let the bridge cross even if it is viewed as the main attack path.

Alternatively, it may be a good idea to allow the river to cross in a wide front from the outset, and after the enemy soldiers are widely dispersed, to ram the horseman abruptly into the bridge and break through once and for all.

"It's a multinational army over there. Maybe we're not really working together... and with all that military power, maybe we're less conscious of taking care of soldiers"

For the enemy, for now, this battle will be an atmosphere of easy victory.

The Rube army doesn't have the strength to stop crossing rivers, so you're actually right.

Talking about how tactics work is about whether you care about the damage ratio or not, and in terms of winning or losing, it doesn't make a difference that it's a win.

If it were one country, I would try to save soldiers, but where there have been few other countries' armies, the commanders of each country would not even care much.

"First Aid Repair Bridge, I wonder if I'll fall when the carriage gets in"

You're not supposed to be setting anything up except cutting in, so if you don't fall like this, it's in the hands of the enemy.

"What do you think...... so many soldiers don't fall on it, so maybe one carriage"

"Hmmm..."

Nevertheless, it can be said that the carriage is limiting traffic, given that it can otherwise pass without hesitation.

If it means you can't weigh the first aid repair part, that's where the total traffic bottleneck came in, and you might want the same effect as you scraped the bridge width.

Well, if it didn't fall, it might be reinforced.

"Though to lure you in, you seem to have given it to your missouri enemies, and it doesn't feel good"

"Sort of. But I'm gonna blow up the bridge, and I can't say that's the problem."

"Right."

I hear that apart from where the first aid repairs are being made, another place will blow up and collapse.

Either way, the bridge breaks.

Still, it's not a bad idea to be able to watch the game while we talk like this.

On the hill I'm on, all the Howe family officials are gathering to have an argument with Gayagaya.

It's the best observation point in the vicinity, but the Rube family doesn't use it because they fly eagles closely to gather information.

If I were on the eagle, I wouldn't be able to argue like this.

"... the vanguard looks like the Tirrerme guys."

Dimitri said.

"How do you know?

They're not flying the flag to get in the way of the shield that prevents the arrows.

"Leading shield."

Dimitri told me, I saw the lead.

I'm pushing out a sturdy placing shield that can't even be pierced by an iron gun, but from what I can see, the national chapter of the Kingdom of Tirrerme was painted.

"I thought it was appropriate. You're the best soldier out there."

Tigris said.

"Sort of..."

The Crusaders, crossing the location of the first aid repair, gradually proceed to the bridge.

As the enemy soldiers crossed half the bridge, the Rube family side began firing and the nitrous smoke began to rise.

But before the thick shield, it still doesn't seem to work.

Do you even wear it on the wheel at the bottom, or it pushes like a tattoo bun from behind, and the impact of the bullet hitting it goes without anything.

Essentially, counteracting with transportable shields against artillery is unusable because, given the required shield's defense, the troops become too blunt.

However, if it is about the front of a hot bridge with only about four meters across, it can be used without problems.

The enemy also thinks inside.

As I looked in the telescope, the crest of the kingdom of Tyrrerme was shredded with a miraculous bullet, and in no time the shadow I saw was gone.

"Is the arrow ineffective?"

From earlier on, the curvature of the arrows has continued.

"No, I'm just invisible, I'm stabbing you through the gap. When the soldiers are gone, I wonder if the bridge is full of corpses trampled by allies."

Dimitri says.

I guess that's what I went through in my last fight.

Are you just filling that gap if you fall?

"It's time to not pick up enemies..."

The great shield of the enemy was about to make contact with the front of the Rube family army.

Above the bridge, already buried in Mitch with Crusaders infantry.

For the Rube family's plan, it can be described as an excellent opportunity.

"Coming."

Tigris said.

When you look over the bridge, the king eagle is descending all the way down.

Make a row and fall to see the bridge on the runway.

This was the Rube family operation.

Linear bombardment by flame bottles on a bridge with no escape.

There will be no wind today and the flame bottle will fall straight.

Great weather.

The eagle headed towards the bridge at beautiful equal intervals.

Drop it.

where the eagle jumped unnaturally.

Huh?

In the air, feathers were scattered, swept down, as if knocked down by the invisible giant's hand.

A rat-colored nitrous smoke rose from the top of the bridge, about three seconds late, and Dawn - and I heard a low noise.

"My Lord Yuri"

Tigris said.

I know.

"From the sound, it's a cannon."

Looks like they got two from the beginning.

One seemed to be after the throw, and part of the bridge is wrapped in flames.

In one way or another, I felt that the first feather had just been honeyed behind me from my leg (me).

But the second one seemed like a direct hit.

The remaining eight have stopped descending and gone up.

"Dimitri, give the Rube family a message. Blow up the bridge and capture hostile air firearms immediately."

"Ha!"

Dimitri immediately moved to issue a transmission.

Peeping with a telescope, a bucket was being unloaded on the river surface, whether it was ready or not, and the fire caused by the flame bottle was quickly extinguishing.

The Crusaders are calmly handling the matter and moving forward with their steps.

It feels like I was being instructed in advance about what was going to happen.

Damn, you were totally read.

It feels like I was even reading about where and how eagles come from.

Well, there's still a first aid bridge that's easy to recover or destroy to see, or whatever you think, nothing but a trap.

"My Lord Yuri, are you listening to the location of the bombing? If this side of the cannon..."

If that were the case, it would mean that the cannon would remain on the other side of the bombed bridge.

This one can't be recovered and will be taken home.

"I'm fine. I see the bombing squad."

I was looking earlier, about a third of the bridge, and I saw soldiers hiding under the arch.

I'm sure that's it.

Not too close to the shore, where it collapses, the bridge becomes available all the way.

If you can get to the bridge very close to the shore, make a slope from it or hang it with a rope, the bridge will be available enough.

I guess I dodged that.

Peeping with a telescope, a hidden soldier escaped to scatter the spider child.

Shortly afterwards, an explosion occurred and part of the arch was seen blowing up.

About three seconds apart, I hear an explosion called Dawn.

Smoke was already coming from the bombed area, and when it cleared, the bridge was safely crumbling.

"Okay, you're broken"

"Oh... no"

"What?

"Looks like we're dropping the cannon on the river. You don't want to be captured."

Turning to the telescope, the enemy soldiers are certainly about to drop something like a small cannon.

The hot bridge has columns about the height of an adult's chest.

Anyway, he seems to be having a rough time getting past the columns.

"Looks like the columns are getting in the way. Maybe not."

I was lucky to try to drop you off this side.

By analogy from the slightly visible silhouette, it looks like a small mortar.

A mortar is a sloppy, short-shelled cannon that has a short shell and can be made lightly.

Short shells do not fly at all because a short shell size means that the combustion gas pressure is a short distance to accelerate the shell.

Originally for attacking the walls by portraying mountainous ballistics.

While the benefits of acceleration due to gas pressure can only be minimal, shells fly due to the impact of the explosion.

Perhaps he stuffed something like a shotgun and fired it at a steep descending eagle.

It doesn't take that much strong energy to shoot down a flying king eagle.

Eagle bones are weaker than people, so if you hit a rapidly descending eagle directly from the front, it's easy to crush bones and render them non-flyable, even if you don't have enough energy to pull the human body apart.

I've never tried it, but would it be threatening enough if it was as powerful as a baseball deadball?

Perhaps you have a couple of handles on the base of your carry so that you can carry six or eight people.

You can turn it manually, and adjust the elevation angle easily if you have a cannon ear (broom).

It might have been the best solution for anti-aircraft guns against eagles.

"Dear Yuri, the decree has flown"

Dimitri came to report.

Seeing, there is indeed one eagle, flying towards the formation of the Rube family.

"I already broke the bridge...... oh shit. He's starting to come back."

After all, the soldiers seemed to have given up crossing the columns and started returning with the cannons from the base, with orders not to be captured.

At the end of the bridge, the Rube family is starting the offensive.

Momentum storms well, losing its way out and ravaging the confused soldiers.

Hopefully, I want the Rube family army to take the cannon and come back, but if they drop it in the river from the bombed part, it seems harsh to bring it.

Even though carrying a cannon is quite tight, implementation would be impossible if, in addition to that, it meant moving with the water drawn away.

"Ha... no. Well, okay."

That's not necessarily a mass-produced formal piece of equipment.

There are no small mortars in the country either.

So we should verify the response.

"You started crossing the river when you saw you couldn't use the bridge anymore."

Taking his eyes off the telescope and looking at the battlefield with his naked eye, he did start crossing the river on foot.

About 20,000 soldiers are trying to cross the river from slightly upstream to simultaneous above the bridge.

You won't be able to prevent this.

"Ah."

Tigris said something.

"What's up?

"A cannon carrier died with a single flowing arrow. I fell."

That's good.

Setting up the telescope again, looking at the cannon, it does seem to have dropped the cannon.

"Or you're stuck in the back. The Rube family could make it."

The collapse point was bullshit with soldiers trying to escape because they cut their way out.

Though there is crumbling debris, it is about four meters high, so the soldiers seem to be lying back.

Most of them have been pushed from behind and dropped, but as a result they have fallen out of their heads and ended miserably.

Some jump off the columns, but are more or less unable to walk with injuries to their legs.

"Oh, you made it"

I made it.

The people carrying the cannons so hard were swallowed up by the Rube family.

Probably will recover it.

In the meantime, you've decided on the trend.

"Lord Yuri, what do you think? Will Lord Kien lose?"

Dimitri says.

"No, I don't know. If you can spare the chase and retreat, it's as good as a draw. It is great that we have captured the enemy's new weapon."

When it comes to new weapons, mortars are not new weapons because they have existed for hundreds of years.

I just changed the way I used it.

Nevertheless, it is significant that we were able to capture it.

If you actually use it and verify the speed of the swivel, the speed at which you take the elevation angle, etc., you should be able to knit a way for eagles to avoid shelling.

"Lord Kien's way was a little too elaborate, too. It was being read."

The plans of the Rube family, after bombing on the line and burning the field on the bridge, repeat the same thing over and over as long as the enemy comes after the bridge, strong bleeding, where the enemy gives up and switches to crossing the river, shaking off the chase while doing quite a bit of riverbank defense.

That was the thing.

If it went well, it would certainly have been an ideal slaughter like a very thoracic one.

But the enemy wouldn't let me go out with him.

Even the enemy, the bombing of the bridge is something I've done before.

I should have read it, but it was dumb of me to choose the bridge as an invasion road.

As a result, they wounded the bridge when they said they stopped the back hand of bombing by the eagle.

It just ended up showing off the existence of a secret weapon, which could not be connected to a decisive outcome and was captured, even though it was not packed with great secrets.

Well, I guess the Crusaders make decisions on national councils, so maybe they had nothing else to follow when the big purpose was decided as a bridge.

"Nevertheless, it can be said that ordinary battle results have been achieved. Not bad."

If you add the minute you blow up the bridge and chase it down, and the minute you're about to defeat it in defense on the riverbank, a battle with an open end in a geographically advantageous situation should yield very normal or slightly higher results.

From the first plan, he also struck morale by breaking the bridge and burning down more than twice as many crusaders as his own... so compared to that, Shobo, it's not bad.

The major objective of attacking enemy supply lines through the destruction of bridges has been achieved.

I would almost be furious if the bombing had failed and I had given the bridge in its intact form, but that seems to have been ready and successful, and not a bad one for now.

"If you're going to praise me for my good fight, I'll come and tell you."

Tigris said.

"Praise?"

I don't really know what that means.

"The failure of the operation may mean that we may aim to expand the effects in front of His Excellency Yuri, with impossible resistance"

"... wouldn't be that stupid"

"I think that's what the person below is."

Do you?

I mean, I don't even have a sense of who I am down there.

Formally, I'm supposed to be the one who delegated Carol's royalty, but it wasn't just the rights that were deposited and the original order changed.

The heads of households should have the same position as each other.

However, as a subordinate, he was certainly not in the company.

"Then tell me that capture alone is enough of a battle. Don't let it come from above."

"Yes. I'm going"

Tigris runs for a small run.

The crossing is still going to take time, so there will be time.

"What do you think?

I asked Dimitri next door.

"That's a feminine care. I don't feel the strong need, but certainly the resistance of the mind to the retreat will diminish. I thought it might be a bad thing."

"Right."

It's not a bad thing.

"I don't think Lord Kien needs it."

"I don't know. Lyao Rube might need it."

Although it might be counterproductive.

"Is Lyao Rube leading you?

"It is Lord Kien who leads them. But it seems he thought about the bombing in the flame bottle. It's a little pinched in my ear."

This battle is all in the hands of the Rube family.

It's a sacred battle for the Rube family to protect their home country, so if I take the lead, I have a very emotional problem.

I haven't said anything except that I let him do the preaching earlier and stop doing meaningless dam work.

"Maybe the same positions of the same age will budge against each other."

I don't know.

Sure, a rival, or maybe I can't help but burn a confrontational mind.

"Nothing, Lyao is not incompetent. I didn't do anything wrong."

I don't think he's the owner of the talent he's pulled out of, but he has a human appeal, and he's usually for the leader.

Nothing is wrong.

It didn't seem to work this time though.

On the river, the army of the Rube family was beginning to unleash arrows.

When this is over, it will be a battle in Mittal next.

For me, this is the real deal.

"Well, I have work to do with the King's Sword, so let's go."

"Yes. Good luck"

"Bye."

I walked over to White Twilight to run errands.
