THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 21: THE STRATEGY OF THE HUMAN SEA
The 4th Prince looked towards the Serpent before saying "Explain the circumstances to everyone, however not all of them have understood about the current state of affairs!".
Jerat nodded, if it was someone else who told him to do this then Jerat would definitely not do it because everyone in this room has a lower position than him except the 4th prince and Limo. Even Luin who was the son of the Marquis could not make him do any tasks at all, therefore the Serpent only followed the words of the 4th prince.
"You must have known that our target this time is the Cavalry Kingdom where they have a very strong cavalry army and many, more precisely most of their main troops are cavalry", jerat said he took a map and put the map on the table.
Everyone stared at the map Myro also looked at it to find that it was a map of the Cavalry Kingdom.
The snare pointed towards a place that became the border between the Cavalry Kingdom and the Northern Province of the Azeroth Kingdom "To attack the Cavalry Kingdom then we have to attack Trock Fortress, this fortress has stood for hundreds of years and has always been the strongest defense of the Cavalry Kingdom of Azeroth Kingdom. Trock Fortress has a very large wall and is always guarded by enemy border troops, I get information that currently the troops in Trock fortress are about 2000 people".
"It looks a little compared to the number of our troops, but the defense in this fortress is so strong that our troops who have more numbers are not necessarily able to seize it. Not only that, the leader in Trock Fortress is General Ritke, he is the best defense general of the entire Cavalry Kingdom. The existence of Trock Fortress and General Ritke is the biggest reason why the Kingdom of Azeroth has not been able to seize the Cavalry Kingdom to this day, unless the armies of the great nobles of the kingdom move then all the other minor nobles who attack the Cavalry Kingdom always fail".
Firhel raised his hand, after getting permission from the 4th prince then he asked "Then why don't we go the other way? Is there no other way but to pass Trock Fortress to attack the Cavalry Kingdom?".
"There is another way, but having to pass through the Orc-Goblin Kingdom is much more troublesome. Therefore, the easiest way is just this Trock Fortress" Jerat explained.
"Terrick, do you have a plan?", asked the 4th prince, after all the Jatang has gone through many battlefields that make him definitely know better about the strategy of war.
Facing the 4th prince's question, Jerat could only shake his head with a bitter smile "As long as we put on the 4000 elite troops of the kingdom then I am sure to bring victory to the prince, but the number of casualties must not be small. We cannot afford to lose many troops to destroy Trock Fortress because there are still many more enemies waiting for us in the Cavalry Kingdom, be it the nobles or the royal family there is also not easy to fight. Therefore, the most casualties at Trock Fortress was 2000! If our number of casualties is greater than that, then there is hardly any chance for us to win from the entire Cavalry Kingdom".
"You're right, our opponent is not just the Trock Fortress but the entire Cavalry Kingdom" said the 4th prince with a heavy face "If the Serpent itself cannot have a good plan to win, it will not be, only Luin can. As a top 3 ranker who graduated from the war strategy military academy, you must have a good plan right?".
The 4th prince immediately clapped "You are indeed great, the best graduates of the academy are definitely not disappointing! What's your plan? As long as we can take Trock Fortress with a small casualty count, I will definitely give you the right reward!".
"Being able to help the prince is the best gift for me" said Luin who could not hide the proud smile on her face "Trock Fortress does have a strong defense but it has a big weakness also that there are only 2000 soldiers standing guard there. I once learned in the academy that no matter how strong the defense of a fortress is, if the guards there are too few compared to attacking then the fort can be captured easily. On this matter, I suggest a human ocean strategy!".
"Human sea?", replied everyone with interest, some people like Jerat already understood about Luin's plan while some others did not understand because they did not come from the military.
Myro who was just observing from the side decided to secretly look at Ren who was behind him, Myro discovered that Ren was secretly shaking his head which indicated that he did not agree with Luin's plan.
At the moment Myro does not have much voice or trust from the prince, therefore even though Myro knows that most likely Ren has other better plans but Myro decides to remain silent.
"You all know the strategy of the human sea!", said Luin who began to explain "As we make sand fortresses on the beach, we might be able to make a sand fortress that is so strong that it is not destroyed even when exposed to water. But if there is a wave that is stronger than the defense of the sand fortress, then the sand fortress must be destroyed by stronger waves".
"The essence of human sea strategy is the same as that, our troops are sea waves while Trock Fort is a sand castle. We have an army that is about 5 to 6 times that of the enemy which means we are a water wave that is much stronger than the enemy, at least with the 5-fold more powerful water wave then we can definitely destroy the enemy's sand castle! So the plan was to let the troops advance to drown the enemy sand castle, with the combined army of nobles numbering 7000 at the front as well as the 4000 elite troops of the kingdom at the rear. As for the cavalry, they were completely unsuited to the battle of the fortress so I suggested they keep waiting until the time of the war on the field which was the strongest time of the cavalry".
The entire person in the room clapped his hands, even Jerat couldn't help but stand up "Master Luin, it's not wrong to call you the best graduate of the academy this year, the plan you made is very smart! How could I possibly forget all that? We do not need to bother dividing our troops, what we need to do is just attack the enemy from 1 direction with our full force like a wave of water drowning the sand castle, Jerat was amazed at the clever idea".
"Then it has been decided", cried the 4th prince excitedly as if he had seen victory before his eyes "Tomorrow when we arrive in front of Trock Fortress then we will directly attack from the front like a sea of humans, tomorrow Trock Fortress will definitely we destroyed with our waves!".
