117 Episode 117: Basketball Battle

"General Tonino! A part of the eastern wall has been destroyed!"

"Move your soldiers from the north! Stop the enemy soldiers. Send out an engineer and repair the wall immediately!"

"A request for reinforcement from the south wall!"

"Get 300 reinforcements from the West Gate!"

Two weeks have passed since the first enemy reinforcements arrived.

The enemy reinforcements have arrived to the second base, and the total number of enemies has expanded to 30,000.

According to a sorcerer who continues to espionage, the third enemy arrives in about three days and reaches 40,000, and a few days later the fourth enemy reaches 50,000.

The reason that the Roselle kingdom divides 40,000 troops into four units on the battlefield is that they cannot have a large army at once.

They use a method that collects a set of numbers and then sends them one after another.

The Roselle kingdom has a large land and a long line of defense. It also controls one million Adernians living on the Northern Adernia Peninsula.

Therefore, the army cannot be moved easily. It can be said that it is a weakness of a great country.

"Wouldn't it have been better to fight before the enemy soldiers gathered?"

Bartolo sighs with support.

But at the same time she shakes that idea.

There is no guarantee that you will win if you strike.

The morale has dropped significantly.

I thought about how to capture the elephant, but I have the courage to put it into practice. The current Allies do not.

At the end of the battle, you are likely to lose as before.

The only way to win this war is to pinch and shoot the Rossais and the Roselle who came to rescue.

A bomber that can be relied on with the warrior's son.

With these two, the Allied morale is back.

Bartolo estimates so.

"Now, let's break the present situation, not just the past. Next is the west wall !!"

Bartolo is led by an Alva cavalry.

Run around the castle with the mobility of Alva cavalry and shoot arrows at enemies who are outnumbered.

We are repeating that.

The cavalry's mobility is also helpful in the Kagogi battle.

"The fort has come!"

"Bring fire arrows!"

The centurion's anger shakes the battlefield.

The most threatening weapon in the Kagogi battle is a ram.

The walls are so strong that they can't be destroyed by a light or gentle attack.

Unless the stones hit by the catapult hit the same place many times, or if the hit location has become aging and brittle ...

But the gate is different.

The gate is much more brittle than the wall. If it is pierced with a ram, it will easily break.

It is necessary to destroy the hammer before it is attacked by the hammer.

The rams are weapons that people must bring to the gates, so destruction is not that difficult.

The Roselle Army's hammer is wooden, with metal attached to the tip of the mallet.

It hangs on a roof with wheels.

By adding a circular motion to human power, the destructive power increases.

However, this is not the case because we know the laws of physics. It is a so-called rule of thumb.

The fire arrow falls on the ram like rain.

But when an arrow is pierced by the ram, the fire goes out in an instant.

The basic rule is to keep the roof of the ram to be as moist as possible, and to provide a barrier to the spells of fire and strengthening.

"It's oil! Splash the oil!"

The soldiers drop the oil along with the jar toward the ram.

Some empty and cracked on the ground, but three jars of oil stain the roof of the ram.

"Bring fire arrows!"

The fire arrow attacks the ram again.

The fire that ignites the oil does not go out so easily. This time, no magic or tricks are possible.

In a flash, the wooden ram breaks down.

The Roselle soldiers carrying a forging hammer flee under the roof in a hurry.

Allied arrows pierce them.

This marks the fifth total number of rams destroyed on all of the north, south, east and west walls.

With the sun set after a failed assault on the ram, Roselle retired immediately.

"Yes, I survived today, thanks to your struggle. Cheers!"

""cheers!!""

When Carlo raised the cup with sake, the soldiers also raised the cup and drunk up at once.

Since a night raid is also expected, only one drink.

But for soldiers, this was the only healing on the battlefield that was tense with this tension.

The soldiers are laughing forcibly, but their expressions seem tired.

Particularly serious are the centurions.

No wonder.

There are frequent assassinations aimed solely at the centurion. Tonino and Bartolo are in a hurry to identify the culprit, but have no idea.

He was in control of information because of his morale, but he was surely spread in the form of rumors.

"But it's bad to be kept forever"

Tonino muttered.

In the Kagojo battle, both commanders and soldiers tend to lose morale.

Because I'm always passive.

The defender can gain the advantage of terrain, but it can also keep his first move away.

Too much defense can be a problem.

"Yeah. I was thinking about the same. So ... what about such harassment?"

Bartolo smiles with a grin and holds Tonino's shoulders.

Tonino frowns on Bartolo's bad breath with an alcoholic smell and listens to the harassment.

"... It's a bit dangerous, but it seems worth doing."

"Well, lend me your cavalry."

That night, the Roselle Gallic soldiers were making noise all night long.

He boasts of looted jewelry and beautiful flax cloth, and carries his liquor and food to his mouth.

Gallia is cold and the land is thin.

By comparison, the South Adernia Peninsula is warmer, has more fertile land, and its monetary economy is more advanced than Gaul.

For the Gauls, the Adernia Peninsula is a city.

...... While the Christians, Pofenians, Persians, etc. will listen and laugh with their nose.

"What treasures are there in the royal capital!"

"Well, the gold and silver treasures are determined to be secret. It's the king's knees. It's determined to be stored!"

The soldiers get drunk and begin to use the raccoon of the raccoon.

The rules of the Roselle Army are very loose.

In fact, non-watchmen are banquets at midnight.

A death penalty for troops in the Adernia Peninsula, where soldiers arbitrarily banquet at midnight.

However, Gallic soldiers escape when the military regulations are tightened.

They have land, an unportable asset, and work together to farm. The ethnic differences between the typical agricultural ethnic group, the Adernians, and the Gauls, who hunt and gather for more than half of their livelihoods.

"No, I'm looking forward to it. I want a beautiful woman. Oh, I want to commit quickly!"

"I want a man about ten years old."

When the men talk about it, the surroundings suddenly become noisy.

"Attack! Attack!"

I can hear the guards shouting in a hurry.

As expected, the Gallic soldiers hurriedly dressed up and headed for the enemy.

"Where is the enemy!"

Gaul soldiers rush to watchmen.

There is no doubt that the tent was burned and the corpse of a soldier who died with an arrow was rolling and was attacked by enemies.

But the enemy is nowhere.

"It has already withdrawn ..."

"Withdraw?"

"The enemy was on a horse, so he fired a fire arrow from outside the digging."

Watchmen say that the enemy withdrew quickly after shooting an arrow on a horse.

He was unable to counterattack at all due to the sudden attack, and had withdrawn when he was ready to counterattack.

"Huh? Then it's a waste of time we came here!"

The Gallic soldiers became angry.

"I couldn't respond at all to the night attack last night."

Kailas tells Cru. The expression is mockery.

He is attacking Cryu in the dark.

"I'm going to increase my lookout, and the damage isn't much."

Because it was midnight, the enemy wasn't shooting at the arrows.

Shoot the place where the enemy is likely to be, and return when it is dangerous. That is the enemy's tactics.

Of course, arrows rarely hit.

The dead are just lucky.

The confusion was great, but 30 people died. Seven of them panicked and crashed, causing death.

"If the city falls, it's all over. That's a regrettable attack, you don't need to worry."

"But it doesn't fall off. General Cryu. What will happen?"

Kailas laughed with a grin and said to Cryu,

Kryus glances at Kailas's face and immediately shifts his gaze to the wall.

"It's supposed. Originally, I don't expect it to fall in about a month."

Siege battles are very time consuming.

In some cases, it can take years.

It's a problem if you really hit it, but it can be said that it is within the expected range in a few months.

"But I heard that King Almus's reinforcements were about to arrive."

"Yes, it will arrive in about two weeks."

"Can you drop it in a week?"

I am not worried about Kailas's expression.

Even if the army of King Almus arrives, he thinks that he can win with difficulty.

No, maybe you want to lose.

That way, there's one vacant position for the shogun ...

"I'm saying it's okay. I'll fall in a week."

Cryu himself affirmed himself.

Kailas silenced her face for a moment, but suggested to Cryu again.

"I think we should clean the insects."

Hanamushi are the royal tribes scattered throughout the country as Carlos.

They, led by Letis Blouse, had been skirmishing with Aldo royals everywhere.

Due to their small numbers, they are inevitably annihilated if they are poorly opposed to the Roselle army.

The strength is negligible.

It would be much better to dedicate their troops to siege battles and end the war early if they could afford them.

Diversification of strength is a plan.

And the earth's interest lies with the enemy.

If you move poorly, there is a danger of suffering damage that you do not need to incur.

"It's useless. Caterpillars aren't caught so easily. It's useless to chase. Those who can't do anything just looking at you. Leave them alone."

However, Kailas still dies.

"But if you leave them alone, you won't be able to focus on siege battles with peace of mind?"

"Yes, General Cryu. I agree with Kailas."

He agreed with Kailas, the man who led the second team of reinforcements.

He is in the same faction as Kailas, hostile to Cryu.

Here's what they're thinking.

"If the siege battle ends as it is, the credit will belong to General Cryu, and the war will end. Something must be done before the war ends. "

The trouble is that there are many NCOs who agree with them.

Of course. The credit is deeply involved in their career.

"Huh ..."

Kryu sighed involuntarily.

A clear and useless battle. But it is not politically useless.

If Cryu alone gets too much credit, he creates too many enemies.

(Does this affect the majority of people regardless of whether they are present?)

Kru thought so and said to them.

"Ok, let's ask them to wipe out the insects, but only after the fourth team arrives."

Five days later, the fourth team arrived safely.

Thus, about 20,000 troops left the army in order to drive the Carlos.

"Let's dig!"

"" Dug! ""

"Digging!"

"" Our success! "

The Gallic soldiers dig the soil with a hoe while singing a deaf song.

They are in a deep underground tunnel.

Cryu was secretly digging.

Their role is to dig right beneath the walls and set fire on wooden stakes.

If the foundation is destroyed and even the piles are burned, it will collapse even though it is a strong wall.

No, the stronger it is, the more it collapses. Being strong means being heavy.

"Huh? It's brighter."

As we dug, light began to leak from between the ground.

As soon as he saw the light, the captain turned his face.

“All members !!

Before the captain finished, Adernia soldiers with hoe and sword appeared.

Adernian captain shouts.

"Please secure!"

The mine dug in the Roselle kingdom was thus defeated by the Allied opposition mine.

In addition, information from the POWs was used to determine the location of another tunnel.

A total of two tunnels were successfully crushed.

"It seems that the eastern and western tunnels have been discovered and buried .... I'm sorry.

Cryu's deputy warps his face regretfully.

But she laughs immediately.

"Well, it's in the plan."

"Oh. East and west are camouflaged. My favorite is the north and south tunnels."

Cryu originally dug four east, west, north and south tunnels.

He told eastern and western miners that there were only two tunnels, east and west.

And it was dug to be easily found.

He was digging the ground day and night. Naturally, you can find enemies by vibration or sound. No, let me find it.

Conversely, people in charge of the northern and southern tunnels were told that the only tunnels were the ones you dug.

And the north and south of my favorite were dug only during battle.

The sound of human footprints and rocks from the catapult hit the city walls, which simulated the vibrations of digging the tunnel.

It's a slow but efficient job.

East or west. If either tunnel is found, both will be crushed.

But at the same time, the enemy is careless. If all the tunnels were crushed, they would be relieved and careless.

That is the aim.

"It takes about three days for my favorite to go right under the wall. It took longer than I expected, but this war is over."

Cryu muttered so.

Finally you can return to the Roselle Kingdom.

Cryu likes war, but sometimes she wants peace.

Especially this war was exhausted by Kailas.

"I'm sorry to take you in! This is an urgent report!"

"Insert early"

Cryu replied, and the messenger said with a pale face.

"General Kailas has lost 20,000 !!!! General Kailas is missing!"

"That fucking kid !!!!!"
