Prologue (3) -1: Change tactics

[General Era 101032 year, First Civilization Year 3001, late summer.] Rotisetitia Province, the center of the capital of Rotissetia, Senate. 】

Some time had passed since Alex Seterriña's First Fortress had been captured by unknown enemies.

The news of the capture of the fortress had reached the Senate.

The generals of the Senate, as well as King Maletinius himself, realized that things were now getting worse and worse - the other side had already begun to invade!

In a large hall in the garden of the atrium, King Maltinius, along with the various senate generals, were discussing their macro defenses.

On a large table in the middle of the hall was a map of the entire kingdom.

"As far as I have been told, the unknown enemy has breached Fort No. 1 in the wasteland of Alex Setetirino Province. Pointing to the places on the map, one of the generals said to King Maletinius, "We have several times as many troops...... However, the opponent has a special heavy long-range weapon that can directly destroy the city wall, and then, their infantry swaggered into the fortress! Our enemy's siege method is completely different from our experience!"

Indeed, the generation gap in technology has brought about a generation gap in weapons, and the generation gap in weapons has created completely different tactics!

Perhaps, in the imagination of the human civilization of Rotisetia, a siege battle, like this- The first step is to encircle the city or fortress and assemble the siege equipment with semi-finished products, such as battering rams and siege towers; the second step is to use heavy long-range weapons to strike at the soldiers and arrow towers and other structures on the city walls as if they were using trebuchets or giant catapults after the siege equipment is assembled; in the third step, the infantry advances with the siege machine, the battering ram hits the city gate, and at the same time the siege tower is pressed against the wall, and the first infantry makes a surprise attack; in the fourth step, after the city gate is broken, the main force enters the fortress.

However, the unknown enemy did not fight according to this set of tactics at all.

Those who knew about the recent battles of the Rotisetians still had a slight idea of the power of the heavy ranged weapons of an unknown enemy.

They knew that those ranged weapons were powerful, but they still underestimated the power of those weapons.

"Are there any weaknesses in those heavy ranged weapons?" asked King Maletinius to the crowd at the meeting.

"Yes, but ......," said one of the generals on the side, hesitating at first.

"What's the matter?" asked King Maltinius, somewhat puzzled.

"Those heavy weapons are afraid of cavalry. The general said.

"That's good, before the battle begins, we will cavalry flank assault and directly crush the enemy army with heavy weapons!" King Maltinius clenched his fist and lightly pounded the table, and said with some confidence, "find a way to draw a group of cavalry from the provinces......!" At present, we must do everything possible to control the battle line in the province of Alex Setetiri, and not let the flames of war continue to spread! Next, we will concentrate our forces and destroy the other side in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty, please listen to me. The general on the side said with some seriousness, "Those cavalry, although to a certain extent, hindered the attack of the enemy's heavy weapons, but ...... They're all gone!"

King Maletinous took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, after a few days of research, I have a suggestion. The Chief General of the Royal Army said, "Perhaps, it's time for us to change the tactics we have been using for thousands of years - we have to come up with new tactics against a new and unknown enemy!"
