"You have won, Earl Charles, you have won this war."

After the war, looking at Count Laviere who was escorted out by several imperial knights, Count Charles took off his iron helmet, revealing his curly hair wet with sweat and sticking to his skin. He smiled and replied, "Respect. Count Marcos Vanpeta, you bravely persisted to the end. This is worthy of our admiration. Of course, according to the noble law, even if you lose this war and lose all your territories, you can still accept it as a nobleman. Our preferential treatment, but if you want to regain your freedom, you can only pay a ransom of the same value as your status."

"I understand, I don't need your reminder." Count Marcos Wampetta said stiffly, his somewhat old face was stained with blood, and his blond curly hair looked dull and dull, "Earl Charles, what do you want? Treat my leaders and soldiers?"

"Please rest assured, Count Marcos." Charles said, while taking off his body plate armor with the assistance of the guards. "Your leaders will not be disturbed, provided that they will not violate our laws. And those The captured soldiers, if they can't pay enough ransom, unfortunately, they can only sell to the greedy slave merchants."

"Okay." Count Marcos nodded, and then said: "I want to write to my family in Sukenya, let him prepare a ransom to redeem me."

"This is your freedom." After Charles finished speaking, he raised his hand and motioned to the two walking imperial knights standing behind Marcos to take away the earl who insisted on surrendering until the end.

...

On the other side, half of the regiment led by Richard entered the Sukinya regiment. Once his regiment entered the regiment, it caused a large-scale fear among the local residents. They remembered that Richard was looted during the invasion a year ago. The tragic conditions of the compatriots who left could not help but scared into a cold sweat behind them, quickly packed up their belongings and fled their hometown, or hid in the capital of the country, Suken, or hid in the surrounding towns and castles protected by walls.

Not only that, on the second day Richard entered the Sukinya Nation, the army that was still besieging the silver mine received a report. In addition to this report, its army commander was also issued by King Nickles II. Order: Give up the siege of the silver mine and return to Suken City.

After receiving this order, the commander looked at the silver mine fence that was almost stained red with blood, and then at a place of his own power that had not yet been cleaned up, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Immediately afterwards, he ordered the army to pack up supplies and return to Suken City.

Seeing the enemy withdraw, Torres, the commander of the third heavily armored sergeant brigade on the fence, breathed a sigh of relief. He and his partner Vitali who were fighting side by side looked at each other and seemed to exchange their meanings. Then Torres spoke. : "It seems that our Majesty Caesar has made new progress."

"Well, send a scout to investigate. If your Majesty Caesar really calls, we might be able to join the legion."

"No, even if Your Majesty Caesar calls, we can't take the initiative to reunite with the Legion." Torres vetoed, "Our duty is to guard this silver mine. Unless your Majesty Caesar orders us to join together, otherwise we have to keep going. Stationed here."

"All right, you are the main commander, just do as you say." Vitali shrugged and said.

Facts have proved that Torres' decision is correct. If he takes the initiative to lead the army to join Richard's army, they will encounter coalition forces from other countries on the way, and then they will be annihilated by the enemy and the entire army will be annihilated.

Of course Torres didn’t know all of this. Richard who was still on the march also didn’t know. To be precise, the horse sergeants he sent out to serve as scouts were all captured and killed by allied scouts and did not bring back the enemy reinforcements. News-This is actually not to blame the riding sergeants for their weakness, but the number of scouts of the coalition forces has the upper hand, making the riding sergeants unable to fight and run.

However, Richard quickly noticed that something was wrong. He saw that most of the scouts sent had not come back to report the situation, and a slight anxiety gradually rose in his heart. He immediately ordered the army to stop marching temporarily and sent out more scout teams. Then Richard felt fortunate for his caution, because although the scout team he sent this time also lost some cavalry, it still brought back a worrisome piece of information: the multinational coalition entered the Sukenya Nation and was March in the direction of Richard's Army!

In addition, there is also a report on the number of the coalition forces. The scout team caught a scout from the Kingdom of Dela during the operation. After some interrogation, they obtained general information about the coalition forces from the opponent. The number of the coalition forces is about 15,000, and the most noticeable is the heavy cavalry composed of more than 1,000 knights. These more than 1,000 heavy cavalry will pose an unprecedented threat to Richard-because in previous battles , The enemy who fought with Richard did not have so many heavy cavalry composed of knights, more cavalry between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry, their charge is not as powerful as the heavy cavalry, so they can He was stopped by Richard's melee troops relying on a tight formation.

So ~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard suddenly became a little nervous. His half of the regiment was only about 10,000 people. Most of the cavalry in the army were light cavalry composed of horse sergeants and crossbow cavalry, and heavy cavalry only Two chain-armored knight brigade and an imperial knight brigade have a total of more than 900 horses, but he cannot use his heavy cavalry to fight the opposing heavy cavalry, because it is easy for his heavy cavalry to fall into the quagmire of cavalry battle and cannot be extracted. Attacking the enemy's infantry-the enemy's infantry is far more than yours. If you want to win the battle, using the heavy cavalry to charge the enemy is the best way.

Maybe you want to ask, can you use light cavalry instead of heavy cavalry to start a charge against the enemy army, or simply let the light cavalry confront the enemy heavy cavalry, entangle them hard and not get out, let your own heavy cavalry find a chance to charge . The first method is not appropriate. After all, the light cavalry is only suitable for chasing down soldiers or harassing the enemy, rather than stupidly charging the enemy’s infantry. Although the second method is feasible, the price may be higher. Not in line with Richard's tactical aesthetics.

However, whether the second method of tactics should be used on the battlefield depends on the situation on the battlefield at that time.

After getting the information, Richard immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, and at the same time sent a messenger to the Earl Charles in the south to explain the situation here, so that the other side would wait for the opportunity to go north to support. He doesn't intend to head-to-head with the enemy, even if it is a decisive battle, he should try his best to wait for his side to gain the upper hand.
