Chapter 112: A Renowned Steed (1)
The first matter for any command staff as they entered battle was to become up to date with the situation
The defensive line that Lieutenant-General Bison oversaw had a rapid response systeholds were reported on a numerical scale from 1 to 10 to nified that an attack was defendable with the resources on-site Meanwhile, 4~6 indicated that they required reinforcenified that they would not be able to defend even with additional reinforce this simple code, the Kobrook Republic’s borderlines were able to swiftly receive situational reports and respond in haste
The ers reported in a similar fashi+on at present
“Fort Lientz is a 5”
“Fortress Belluno is a 5”
“Fort Brunico is presently a 2”
“Fortress Merano is a 6”
“Fort Belchano is a 5”
Bison’s expression turned grave
‘So four of the five forts require reinforcements?’
It was evident that this was ht
According to their system of defense, it was advised that at least three out of the five strongholds were in their hands at any one tiement to take effect
The reserve troops on standby at the three castles a the four endangered forts to save the Fort Brunico, at least two out of the re four forts need to survive In that case…’
Lieutenant-General Bison came to a speedy conclusion
“The 2,000 men stationed at Fortress Merano are to retreat Mobilize 5,000 of the troops stationed at Bells Castle They shall combine for a total force of 7,000 to be sent as reinforcements to Fortress Lientz”
With this, they surrendered Fort Merano but instead ensured they protected Fort Lientz
Up next was…
“Also withdraw the men stationed at Fortress Belchano Mobilize 5000 of the troops stationed at Hornie Castle and send both detachments to Fortress Belluno as reinforcements”
With Bison’s quick orders, two of the five forts were decisively surrendered so that the other three may survive
“Move with haste Our system of defense is only as effective as how much faster we move than the eneers rushed out to relay his orders
Bison h his
“I shall show you exactly why our Kobrook Republic’s defense is known to be insurmountable”
Prior to Lieutenant-General Bison’s orders, the distribution of the Kobrook Republic’s forces was as follows
Litinque Castle – 20,000
Bells Castle – 10,000
Hornie Castle – 10,000
Fortress Lientz – 3,000
Fortress Belluno – 3,000
Fortress Brunico – 2,000
Fortress Merano – 2,000
Fortress Bolzano – 3,000
But in order to counteract the Strabus Kingdom’s simultaneous attack on all five forts, the composition of their deployments quickly transformed
Litinque Castle – 20,000
Bells Castle – 5,000
Hornie Castle – 5,000
Fortress Lientz – 10,000
Fortress Belluno – 11,000
Fortress Brunico – 2,000
Fortress Merano – Withdrawn
Fortress Bolzano – Withdrawn
Though they surrendered two of the forts, two others were bolstered with additional troops to maintain the lines Furthermore, the reinforcements dispatched to Fort Lientz and Fort Belluno were prepared to deploy to Fort Brunico if the need were to arise
It was truly a superb response
Due to the Kobrook Republic’s swift repositioning, the ene two of the five forts: Fort Merano and Fort Bolzano
Though the Strabus forces and their allies now seized these two strongholds, it was not of notable benefit to them In fact, it wasthese forts because the enes considered, the capturing of these two forts in itself was a ned to make it difficult to house a substantial force, and the loalls were insufficient to form an adequate defense
Soon, the Kobrook Republic would carry out an intense attack on these two forts and torment their foes This was the tactic that they had i this full well, had tried to brace through it tiain – and failed
“All men, we shall commence our sortie!”
Lieutenant-General Bison personally led a force of 10,000 cavalries from Litinque Castle and headed for Fort Merano Furtherer to the Fortresses of Lientz and Belluno to request an additional 3000 cavalry from each
This totaled a relatively sh Fro of the fort but harassing their enemy as they tried to hold the position
“Lieutenant-General! Fort Merano has come into view”
From atop his horse, Bison roused the men with a roar
“We shall show these invaders our prowess Attack!!”
At once, the cavalry galloped forth
Only, instead of approaching Fort Merano head-on, they approached it at an angle and curved around the fort’s walls
“Marquis Bologna, the enehold”
“All men, overlap your shi+elds and na responded right away to the new threat He ell aware of what the enemy’s aim was, for this was a favorite tactic of the Kobrook Republic whenever such skirmishes occurred
Once the 10,000 cavalries that were circu Fortress Merano sufficiently closed their distance to the walls, all the horseet the soldiers atop the ramparts! Take aim!”
Ka-chick
At the order of their commanders, the 10,000 horsemen readied their crossbows
With that…
“Fire!”
The arrows of 10,000 men blotted out the sun
“Here it comes!”
“Ensure you raise your shi+elds fully!”
“I shall personally slay anyone who lowers their shi+elds just because they are struck in the arly ordered their soldiers…
Thunk thunk thunk! Thunk thunk thunk thunk!
“Agh!”
“Urgh…”
“AHH!”
A shower of arrows poured down on the defenders
“HOLD! WE MUST HOLD!”
“Do not let go of your shi+elds! We die the o!”
The commanders clenched their teeth and continued to veheinning to pile on
