Zenon Plain Restoration War (5)
“Ugh. It wasn’t easy after all…”
The Tesseito-type heavy cavalry led by Cordelia made several repeated assaults and efficiently annihilated the enemy cavalry entangled with the friendly heavy infantry, but her unit, which numbered only around 500, was not enough to completely annihilate the 3,000 heavy cavalry. It was difficult.
Still, her heavy infantry succeeded in giving her unit time to catch its breath and reorganize itself, so she prepared to charge once again, with her unit falling behind her.
“Lord Cordelia!! Look over there!!”
“Hmm? Why over there.? Damn it!! All troops!! Prepare for close combat!!”
The momentum of Tesseito’s heavy cavalry, with Count Mula at the head, running towards them while raising a huge cloud of dust was terrifying.
Moreover, while the Balkan Army was reorganizing its battle lines, Tesseito’s army was also reorganizing its line and preparing to join the oncoming heavy cavalry and charge at the Balkan Imperial Army again.
“Axe soldiers, go forward and focus on attacking the enemy cavalry’s battle horses!! We must not give them time to reorganize their battle lines!!”
“The spearmen should attack the horsemen intensively!! You must pay all attention to knocking the enemy off his horse!!
The two great generals, Talbot and Scales, encouraged the soldiers to fight most efficiently and pushed the Tesseito army forward, but soon Count Mula and his elite cavalry, running at high speed, attacked the infantry like a wave. 〈 Br〉
Burbubbubbuk!!
“Overlapping the shields to attack the enemy… Keaaaaa!!”
As before, the heavy infantrymen who had gathered their thick shields together to resist Tesseito’s heavy cavalry were instantly cut down with their shields under Count Mula’s sword, and the soldiers, who knew very well what the bluish sword energy on his sword meant, were terrified. He shouted with a tired face.
“It’s the master!! The enemy’s master has appeared!!”
“Do not fight head-on, avoid the Master and attack other enemies first!!”
“Use the long spear to check the warhorse the enemy master is riding!! Never allow distance!!”
The two Heavenly Seals were also taken aback by the unexpected appearance of the Master, but they followed the battle manual prepared by Yuno and widened the distance between them and Count Mula, threatening his warhorse with their long spears.
Squeak! Squeak!!
Every time Count Mula swung his sword full of sword energy, the spear that was holding him in check broke like a piece of corn, but still, the actions of the Balkan Empire army made him stop his movements and succeeded in effectively blocking his movements.
However, Count Mula did not run alone.
The knights guarding him and numerous heavy cavalry were following behind him and attacking the Balkan Empire Army, so the Imperial Army, which was only concerned about Count Mula, suffered tremendous damage and was driven back to the point where its formation was about to collapse.
“Our troops are in danger!! Balkan Guard Cavalry!! Follow me!!”
And in the meantime, the Tesseito-type heavy cavalry led by Cordelia, who had finished reorganizing the battle line, attacked the flank of the cavalry led by Count Mula.
“Count Mula!! The side… The side is being breached!!”
“What? The enemy cavalry still has that much potential left?”
Count Mula was startled by the report that came from behind, so he stopped swinging his sword and looked back.
Although he was only one-fifth the number of cavalrymen he led, Count Mula was amazed at the sight of the Balkan cavalry skillfully cutting into gaps in the flanks and effectively breaking up the formation.
“That’s great!! I can’t believe there was such a great cavalry commander in the Balkans!!”
“Count! Please give me instructions!! If we continue like this and become separated from the rear ranks, there is a risk that the damage will increase even more!! Even now, the enemy infantry’s spirit is reviving again!!”
Count Mula looked blankly at Cordelia skillfully commanding his cavalry and cutting down his soldiers with his spear, then came to his senses after hearing the words of his advisor and looked straight ahead again.
“For the sake of His Majesty the Great Emperor!! Death to the enemies!!”
“Let Tesseito, who dared to invade Balkan territory, taste the power of the Balkan Empire!! Even if it means death, we must endure the enemy to the end!!”
Although it was only for a short time, Cordelia’s activities caused him to stop using his sword, and through that gap, the heavy infantry of the Balkan Empire rekindled their dying fighting spirit and began to put up fierce resistance.
Due to the fierce battle, there were only about 1,000 Balkan troops left, but as if there was a reason for their survival, they engaged in a melee with the cavalry and dealt with them step by step by knocking the cavalry off their horses with hooks or targeting their horses first to make them fall. It was going.
‘The imperial army has changed… It was originally an imperial army that boasted strong cohesion and defensive power… But it was clearly not to this extent… It was not even half of our size and was completely outgunned in the beginning, but it continued to put up such strong resistance. I can’t believe I’m going out… If I were to deal with the same number of people, maybe…’
It was a remark that might have weakened the morale of the soldiers if he said it out loud, so Count Mulla only thought about it to himself, but he looked with admiration at the Balkan Empire army, which continued to fight head-on with the cavalry, overcoming the power of war horses with the strength of its body. .
But despite this, he drove his horse forward again and shouted as he cut down his enemy soldiers one by one.
“Army of the Balkan Empire!! I am the commander of the cavalry of the Zenon Plain garrison in the Kingdom of Tesseito, and my name is Count Mula, the fourth sword of His Majesty King Tesseito!! I have seen your struggles very well, and I think highly of you! So surrender at this point!! I promise that if you surrender now, I will send you back to the Balkans as soon as the war is over. So don’t throw away your precious lives by surrendering at this point! That’s it!!”
The eyes of Balkan soldiers began to waver at the unconventional conditions of guaranteeing their lives and future return. But…
In their eyes, they also saw the image of Cordelia returning to camp after successfully cutting off the enemy’s waist.
Her clothes were completely messed up, and her body was cut here and there and her blood was dripping down. And the sight of her holding the reins with one of her shaky arms, broken as if by such a great impact, and holding high the undamaged golden eagle flag with her other arm, caught the attention of her soldiers.
I was captured at a glance.
“Talbotts!! Scalesssss!! And Pastolfsssss!! Listen carefully!! I’m sorry for getting you involved in our foolish greed for majors!! Especially Pastolfsssss!! Your captain “Please don’t forgive us for losing you in vain!”
“Is it okay for His Majesty the Great Emperor to dishonor the great Balkan absolute? Should His Majesty’s flag!! His Majesty’s honor fall into the hands of the enemy?”
Talbot and Scales’ speech penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers who were looking at the brilliantly shining golden eagle flag.
“Absolutely not!! Even if we all die here!!”
“I will protect His Majesty’s flag!!”
There were less than 1,000 soldiers left, but they were completely united under Yuno’s banner.
And Talbot and Scales handed over their and Pastolph’s Thousand Banners to Cordelia, who had returned to the camp.
“This is…”
“Lord Cordelia. This is… I am sorry to ask you a favor.”
“You are a knight of His Majesty the Emperor, a knight who protects His Majesty’s great banner. So please escape this battlefield and protect His Majesty’s standard. And please return the banner of our Thousand People’s Army to Your Majesty. Please follow His Majesty’s orders. In return for not performing properly, we will all bury our bones here!!”
“B-but!!”
Cordelia, who was about to say something more out of pity, lowered her head when she saw their passionate eyes.
Even if the unit was annihilated, the military discipline was supposed to prevent it from being captured by the enemy, and if it was the military standard that symbolized the emperor, it was natural that there was no need to say more.
And it was true that her unit was the only one here that could carry it out.
“… I understand. I will escape from here and report your fate to His Majesty. And I will protect your honor by clearly testifying that you fought for the Balkans until the end.”
“Thank you, Lord Cordelia.”
“Thanks to those words, we were able to die happily.”
Chuck!!
Cordelia gave a salute to Talbot and Scales, who then saluted, and then got back on the horse, accepting their military standards.
Her broken arm twitched under the weight of her heavy banner and her nearly exhausted steed toured her, but she planted her standard on her back and rode to the other side of the battlefield. She drove her horse towards
“Guard cavalry!! Escape the battlefield!! Don’t let our soldiers’ sacrifices be in vain!! Don’t let a single person fall behind!! Do you understand!!”
“Yes!! I understand!!”
As the cavalry departed with a powerful voice, Talbot and Scales drew their swords.
“The cavalry will return our military uniforms!!”
“We will die here!! Our name will live on forever!! Let’s clearly show the enemies the spirit of Balkan boys!!”
As the Thousand Seals directly took the lead, the remaining Balkan Empire troops also threw away their shields, lightened their bodies, and formed an assault formation with only their swords in hand.
“Imperial Army!! Charge!! For His Majesty the Emperor!!!”
“For the Balkans!!”
Count Mulla gave a bitter smile as he looked at the heavy infantry of the Balkan Empire charging with their swords drawn, even the wounded soldiers, and the cavalry disappearing in the distance with their banners raised high.
‘Wow… This is truly amazing… I don’t know how they ended up sending such a few troops here… But if other Balkan armies are at that level, this war… Will definitely not be easy… Emperor It’s a pity that I missed the military discipline, but I’ll have to be satisfied with capturing 3,000 elite heavy infantrymen…’
After sighing for a moment, Count Mula drew his sword again and rode his horse directly to the lead.
“Tesseito Cavalry!! Charge!! Let them go comfortably!! No prisoners will be left behind!!”
Count Mula, who cut off the head of Talbot, who was at the forefront and was swinging his sword at him, led his men to surround the remaining forces of the imperial army and annihilate them one by one.
After about 30 minutes, there was no Balkan Empire soldier alive on the plain, and the Tesseito Kingdom army enjoyed the joy of victory, glad that they had won the first battle of the war.
‘Should I call it a victory… No matter how much heavy infantry we faced… We annihilated 3,000 infantry with close to 7,000 cavalry, but suffered close to 3,000 casualties… Tsk’
Count Mulla, who could not be purely happy, sighed for a moment, but decided to place significance in the fact that the first battle was a victory, and raised his sword high together with his soldiers and declared victory.
“Count. What should we do with the bodies of the enemies? Wouldn’t it be better to cut off everyone’s heads and hang them up for the enemy to see?”
It was the staff’s mantra to break the enemy’s morale, but Count Mula shook his head.
“No. You cannot insult the body of a brave soldier like that. After collecting the bodies of your allies, collect the bodies of the enemy as well. After returning to the garrison, place them on a cart with a white flag and send them to the enemy!”
“B-but…”
Thing!
He was a member of the staff who tried to raise a counterargument for a moment, but when Count Mula glared at him strongly, he nodded, and the body of the imperial soldier was cleaned up and sent to the Balkan army’s garrison.
In this way, the first battle of the Battle of Zenon Plain ended in victory for the Tesseito Kingdom army.
