Victor was on his Warhorse surveying the army deployment. His Newly Crafter banner With twin sword And shield with lion on it was dope damn never knew I was artist as well.
From what I can see Marquis Verquis army deployment and let's just say it was really bad hus soldiers are taking too long to even get ina proper and simple formation and from what I am seeing he is definitely going to use his numbers.
To charge a frontal attack and defeat me. He has already fallen for my Trap.
"Colonel Swin"Victor addressed the new colonel " . "What about our Flanking forces are they in position. "
Colonel Swin answered "Yes Mylord Colonel Colton and my men are Waiting for your orders"
"Hmm alright now go back when the orders are issued You would reinforce my infantry by sending 2 battalion of heavy infantry same goes For Colton."
"As for Cavalry you know what to do don't you ". I turned my head towards Degmon
Degmon replied" You don't have to worry my Lord . We will trap them completely "
"Alright boys Lets start the battle" . Victor had a calm Smile on his face he knew his plan was simple but at the same time audacious he will lure Verquis army to directly clash with meanwhile His Flank will encircle the Arrogant Verquis.
Soon Verquis and his army started to move first the Confrontation between Archers Started Compared to Verquis army Wildwood soldiers held there ground they had proper teamwork covering each other body perfectly with shields.
As for Enemies they were disorganized some did not even have proper armour to cover there body thats what happen when you Recruit levies forcefully atleast provide them with a armour.
But What Victor was worried about most was Cavalry the enemy cavalry yet again Outnumbered his Cavalry . But His cavalry charged forward ferociously and Engaged with enemy cavalry.
Meanwhile both the infantry have clashed with each other Against the disorganized charge if Verquis men Wildwood army Created Wall of shields and attacked them holding them down.
Hmmm looks like the training paid off. But still his infantry is being pushed back little by little reason is simple the infantry of enemy outnumbered his soldiers.
And even his soldiers were made of flesh they also needed proper rest . Hmm but for now I guess it's right time to spring my trap after all my cavalry has also been pushed back they are being flanked by the superior number of enemy cavalry.
Victor looked at one if Saboteur and ordered him "Go and inform Swin And Colton to start our plan. And inform degmon as well."
Yes Mylord Soon saboteur left. Not long after the horns on both flanks can be heard and then the sound of horse hooves and infantry it felt like earth was trembling.
Meanwhile Marquis Verquis was Shouting to his officers "Push them back there numbers are insignificant Crush them "
He was already worried Because his army was not making any progress but he also knew enemy cavalry was also about to break but then he heard the sound. And as he looked dust covered the battlefield.
But he knew something was wrong . And that's when he heard battle cry thousands of Wildwood soldiers started to appear on battleground meanwhile.
More enemy cavalry has started to arrive on the battle field he was shocked.
The first one to engage was degmon's cavalry , they encircled the enemy and started attacking, but degmon has Ordered some of cavalry to Not engage and charge directly towards Marquis Verquis.
Next o arrive was the Infantry they reinforced wildr Infantry line with fresh soldiers and start pushing the enemy back meanwhile Victor ordered Saboteurs to attack the enemy cavalry on his right Flank his reason is simple.
He wanted to route the enemy cavalry Complr and Using his fresh cavalry attack encircle the infantry of Marquis Verquis. He issued same orders to His light infantry to engage the enemy cavalry in left flank.
At these time Marquis Verquis was panicking he had been tricked his centre had just gained an upper hand By breaking some parts of enemy center but now these he looked at the forest that surrounded Wildwood Soldiers back.
That forest I swear one day when I invade Wildwood I will burn every single forest in these territory. But he was soon allerted that the enemy cavalry is approaching him.
He quickly turned his horse around and try to run away. But he was already late soon enemy cavalry Rushed towards him but Marquis Knew he can enter the town if demo as he was making his way towards the town his horse tripped and he fell.
Not a single official try to help him they just left him and made there way towrds town of Demo.
"You bastards I will kill you all help me".
"I command you to help me" But no one came and the enemy cavalry caught him.
Meanwhile on the battlefield thi gs were really different the enemy has already been routed and Infantry was already flanked.
Soon even infantry gave up many surrendering and those who were fighting quickly threw away there swords after they got to know that there Marquis was caught by enemy.
These battle was won by Wildwood soldiers. But they did not celebrate Victor ordered labrours to start building camp meanwhile the medical team started helping the wounded soldiers even Victor, Swin and Colton as well as Degmon started helping out soldiers.
They Wrapped the bandages around soldiers wound . Carrying the soldiers from the battlefield to the Medical team.
By nightfall the camp was built. All the Officers took bath washing off blood On there body they came inside of Victor command tent tent around a table the map surrounding territories were spread.and thay also talked about the Casualties of today's battle
"Enemy lost 24,000 soldiers and Another 3,000 wounded they are being treated by our Medical team meanwhile 1,000 soldiers Ran away most cavalry so Marquis has lost all of his 28,000 soldiers in these battle ."
Everyone were really shocked and they turned there head towards the Lord sitting on the chair in the middle of the tent. With that face it would have been hard to say these young man with his Strategy and tactics completely destroyed the enemy. They have started admire Victor greatly.
But for Victor it was different he sighed and Said "But what about our soldiers " Soon his question was answered "We lost 2500 soldiers and 500 soldiers are wounded. "
Victor felt pain in his heart because if his strategy to hide his Forces and fight with low number soldiers to Lure the enemy his army suffered a lot. Then he stood up and said.
"These battle was fought bravely by our soldiers now we should capitalise on these Victory I heard degmon you captured Marquis Verquis I want you to go in front of town of Demo and take Verquis with you and order the town to surrender. "
"Now as for what we should do with the other two Marquis army they would get the news of Verquis defeat soon but we need to take care care of them .
"The reports have received informs me that Marquis lefonti and Marquis Drafuni both are marching towards these town .Victor pointed at the town of Demo.it will only take them One and half day to arrive here And Attack us with there Army's "
"Now the army's of both Marquis are marching towards Us "Victor finished speaking.
And Looked at the Faces his colonels. They were coming up with opinions. Victor nodded he needed the help of his colonels no matter what after all it can help him to view the war in broader perspective.
Colonel Colton Gave his opinion "I think we should deal with lefonti first defeat him and then march towards Drafuni with all our might."
Everyone turned their heads towards and listened Colton Intently " My Lord now that we have defeated Verquis I think we should leave some of our strongest soldiers to fortify demo but because of town being so small we can only have Low number of soldiers defending they should buy us enough time."
"After defeating lefonti who has lowest amount soldiers approximately 16 thousand we will defeat him first and then defeat Marquis Drafuni."
"And not only should we defeat them we should capture Them just like Verquis and conquer there territory". Colton Smiled and also said I think that's what even you would want My Lord
Victor was Really surprised and looked at young Colton Indeed he is great he thinks sharply.
"I think it's Excellent plan I think by day after tomorrow both the Marquis will get news if Verquis defeat they Will be panicking about what to do so that's when will take advantage of these situation."
Tomorrow after town of Demo surrenders confiscat all the Military ration Verquis has stored in the twin it will help us a lot Swin your work is To Garrison The town of demo with 6 thousand soldiers meanwhile your remaining regiment soldiers will be with me
I hope Swin Just how you holded down the Duke you can Hold down the Marquis Drafuni as well.
"Yes My Lord"Drafuni replied.
"Colton and degmon you both will be with me we will march towards Lefonti with our forces"
"Yes My Lord "Both colonels replied in Unison.
