THE AUTHOR REINCARNATED?! [Vol 4] Chapter 2 – Military Exercise II (1/2)
Meanwhile, General Marcus and the Imperial Guard’s first corps’ captain, Lunos, were on the east side of the hill
They were talking over a desk behind which soldiers holding blue war flags were lined up
“General, what’s the strategy?”
“U up the cavalry is a centrepiece of this ti use of the cavalry’s high mobility, no doubt”
“Right”
“Letting the cavalry act independently is surely effective in terh, no roup the Imperial Guard Order is they won’t be able to do a frontal attack”
As Marcus said this he pointed at the centre of theon the desk
“They’ll ”
“There’s no doubt that they would be able to conquer the fort with their speed How troubling”
“Right Although they are noto rehts once they confined themselves in the fort”
“Soon after reinforcement would arrive In that case it would be even harder to remove them”
“That’s right, look here”
Marcus drew a big arc going around the hill’s south
“We will go south around the hill without ai for their camp”
“I see, attacking their back, is it?”
By the way, one has won if one succeeds in conquering the opposing team’s camp and fired up a beacon
“However, what if the opposing team has the same idea?”
“No matter how fast they are they just have 50 horseman We’ll leave one third of our soldiers in the camp to prepare for that case”
“So we protect our ca camp with 200”
“That’s right, I leave those soldiers to you, Lunos Even if Carlo-sama puts the other 250 soldiers other than the cavalry corps inside the camp they are just the mish-mash of people called farmer soldiers and the commander also hasn’t experienced real warfare yet so it’s just a disorderly mass not worthy to be afraid of”
“Even if we encounter the cavalry party we’re definitely able to break through with this difference in military power”
“If the cavalry acts independently from the infantry the difference in speed increases as well as the risk of their individual defeat Let’s make use of that, shall we?”
The strategic plan was coether with Lunos and started to talk
“Everyone should have heard about Carlo-sathe Imperial Guard Order who aren’t satisfied with this The purpose of this exercise is to show those people the effectiveness of this new formation In other words – -”
General Marcus paused for a bit and then raised his voice
“This tily lose for us to understand that “This ht after all” in the end!”
