The Sended's

Chapter 18: Tactic Cowards? Well, its Nomad's

I'm now in the camp tent of Oda's troops on Ryuu's secret road, well, I don't like to see people die from the war.

But still I have to help our troops who were wounded in this battle, not a few also died during the treatment

Even so, I believe that the casualties on the enemy side are greater than this. It was because their opponent was Ryuu, the Devil who returned from the North

"Haahhh..," I sighed.

"What's the matter Miss Kyouka?" ask a nurse

"Will this war last long?" ask me back

"Just calm down, Miss Tokuhime will end it soon," the nurse replied excitedly

《Ryuu POV Start》

As I planned, our troops did not settle at one point but moved around to destabilize the enemy

We also do not constantly attack the enemy, I realize that attacking the enemy who is resting is more of a big mental impact

For example, at school, teachers give a lot of tasks that are common but make me dizzy. But there is something even more annoying in my opinion

That is during the holidays where I should feel free from the burden of school for a moment, my teacher even gave pr...... then why not just go to school on holidays if in the end like that damn it?!!

By the time the pr was over and I felt free, he gave me another assignment. It's so annoying, thankfully I'm free of that life...

Unlike the Yui army, my army was divided into seven so that when the first assault was over, the second army would attack while the first troops were at rest

The rocks predicted to slow Yui's advance also turned out to be successful, they decided to spend the night on the road flanked by these cliffs

Maybe that's what they think I'm gonna think, am I stupid or something?

This camp is just a distraction where small troops are stationed, after all no matter how bad the situation of their enemies may not spend the night here

This location is not strategic to stay overnight because the enemy can come at any time

Ah so remember the battle Kawanakajima in my world first...

Uesugi Kenshin fooled Takeda Shingen by spending the night on a hill in Takeda County

This was used by Shingen to surround the hill and attack it in the morning, but in fact this camp was just a distraction

In the morning, Kenshin's troops had crossed the river and were in the Uesugi region, this certainly made Shingen surprised

Although they eventually fought there because Takeda's troops were chasing, the casualties obtained by Uesugi were certainly less than if he had remained camped on the hill

Then, what if Shingen finds out about Kenshin's plan? What if he's already got a report that the camp is just a diversion? That's what I'm gonna try now

By the way I know all this because in the past when I was playing Old World, I learned the strategies of various important figures in history

So I can use that strategy when I play Old World, even now the things I learned are more useful as well

"Miss Tokuhime, they spent the night there, what do we want to do?" ask a team leader

"Don't want to be fooled, it's just a diversion, their main army must have moved from the time of sunset, we've been quite left behind" I explained

"Ap-.. Then, what are we going to do?" ask him again

"Hmm. Let me think first...."

Yui's forces used darkness to hide themselves through this path, yet no one could hide their voices

After all, we have no flare or other illumination.

"The movement of troops three to seven for this attack, I will explain the plan now" I said to all the leaders there

These five troops I scattered on the cliffs along the main road to conduct an ambush like that. But before shooting, they must throw a small stone first to find out the enemy's position

With this, the shot will be more accurate and not spend a lot of bullets. We still need a bullet for the final strike anyway...

I myself was in the 4th army line, we decided to throw stones in order so that we knew the length of the enemy line

The plan began, the third army threw some rocks down the cliff, the result was nil, there was no sound other than the rock that hit the ground

Then I told them to change positions to get out of there and help the other troops

It is my army's turn to throw stones, the result is still nil

"Damn it, where did they move?" muttered

"Come, let's change positions quickly" I ordered

The 4th army immediately stood up and moved to the position of the fifth to seventh troops, as I was moving, a small scream emerged

"Sick," the voice sounded

"What's wrong? Did you get bitten by a mosquito or something?"

"No, I think there was a pebble that fell into my arm,"

"Well, 'cause we're moving between high cliffs anyway..."

This conversation was the result of my plan

And this cry came when the fifth army threw the stone

I nodded to the leader of the fifth army and he gave the order to shoot, thousands of bullets were randomly generated that made casualties in the enemy troops fall

The stone-throwing continued on by the sixth and seventh armies, but by the time the seventh army threw, they did not hear the sound of a small cry

That meant that Yui's army had only reached the sixth

But I told the seventh army to continue to stay there and throw the stone, this is because Yui's troops must immediately run forward to avoid firing my troops

Then when Yui's forces left the fifth army's range, it was now heading to Yui's encampment behind to finish off the diversionary forces there

Meanwhile, the third and fourth troops who were in the position of the fifth army were deployed again

That night was certainly filled with screams of murder on this main street, but I don't think Yui's forces had been reduced to the point where it could be said to be half of it

But that was my purpose

Yui's main army, exhausted from encircling Hotaru's fortress, is expecting fresh help from her territory, but what they get is a soldier who is more exhausted than them from being constantly ambushed

Unlike the second army, Yui's main force could certainly rest when the sun started to set and continue the battle tomorrow

It was morning now, Yui's troops had made it through the road flanked by the cliffs, but I wouldn't let them rest

"We're doing the next step,"

A move in which troops are turned to fire on an exhausted enemy camp

The first troops set out for firing positions in the forest beside the enemy camp

Due to exhaustion, the guards who should be on guard instead fell asleep in their positions

"Remember, shoot once and then retreat" I said to the squad one before leaving for position

Yep, shoot once and then retreat, even though only one bullet but there are a thousand people shooting. So the sound produced was loud enough to wake up all the resting enemies

The resting enemy must have gone straight to the fighting position and started shooting at the source of the sound. As they shot through the forest, the one army had already retreated

They will probably keep shooting for a few minutes, then eventually they will realize that they are being played

This is the next step, I won't let them rest for a second

"Good, now prepare the mortars and shower them with bullets immediately,"

Mortar is a light artillery charging from the front, this weapon has short thrust and close range. This weapon has a high bullet travel with its parabolic arches

Unlike powerful artillery such as cannons and howitzers whose bullets move quickly and have a wide range

Therefore mortar is suitable for use here, because the distance between our position and the enemy is very close. After all we don't have powerful artillery like cannons or howitzers

The morning was filled with the sound of explosions from mortar shells and gunfire from both sides, only a moment stopped and began to sound again

This continued to repeat until the sun was right over our heads, Yui's troops did not have time to rest exactly as I planned

Now their army was at a point where it could be said to have lost half of its army, so we decided to stop the attack

Not to give them time to rest, but because they decided to move back towards the Hotaru fortress, their initial goal

Under such circumstances, many troops collapsed in the middle of the road that had to be abandoned so as not to buy time. We arrested those who wanted to be arrested, killed those who did not want to be arrested

I told troops three and four to follow them because who knows they rest in the middle of the road

Because of some of these things, the morale of Oda's forces is getting higher. On the other hand, the enemy's morale continues to plunge down because of their actions

In the end it will benefit me, why don't I take that chance?

While waiting for the reports of troops three and four, the other five troops rested for the final assault tomorrow

In the treatment tent I found Kyouka and some of my wounded soldiers, and many of Yui's troops there

"Ryuu, is this war going to last long?" kyouka asked with a somewhat sad face

"That's possible, since attacking is more troublesome than defending in my opinion, we haven't entered Yui's territory at all, either" I explained

"Can you shorten this war?" ask Kyouka again

"That's what I'm working on, if it goes on like this I don't think this war will take a month" I replied

"An month yes..," murmured Kyouka

"That month is a very short time for a war, after that it is your part to work" I said

He smiled and nodded, then we chatted for a while until there were reports of troops three and four, they said Yui's second troops did not rest until Yui's first army camp

"All right, see you later Kyouka," I said, waving my hand to leave the tent

"Yes" he answered

Since the enemy did not rest, the third and fourth armies did not bother to attack them back, so my troops could rest completely now

It was because tomorrow morning before sunrise, we had to get up and carry out a siege to the heart of Yui's army

I sent my messenger into the fortress to tell Funomiya that I had kept my promise, I waited for payment from him and his coalition that I had saved after this battle was over...
