Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Generals Rendel and Barot of the Treba Empire Army were confused. According to the plan, Holzlan should have been burned last night, and they should have at least set up camp in front of the city gate.

Yet there was no general disorder at Holzlane. When the reconnaissance party investigated the detachment sent to the south gate, they found what appeared to be a fierce battle, and a defeat.

Although there may have been dead bodies and wounded, all of this had been cleared and no escaped soldiers were found. It was impossible to judge the situation, but it was clear that the plan had failed.

However, they could not retreat without gaining anything, and even if they wanted to ask their country for help, the round trip would take at least 12 days.

However, attacking Holzlane with 20,000 men would only cause casualties due to the high walls and would not shake the capital. The current situation was confusing, with neither advancing nor retreating.

Since the city walls were probably enshrined with magical defense marks, all they could do was harass them by shooting magic and arrows at them. While they were hesitating, the situation changed.

------------------

In short, the military tactics of Secretary of War Galatea Renz were remarkable, and both generals were delighted when the east gate was opened and Holzlein's army lined up in battle array.

Because the enemy chose to fight in the open field and abandoned the troublesome city walls, the hope of victory became brighter when the battle to defend the city became difficult.

If they could achieve a victory here, they would be able to show off their prestige, and even if they achieved almost no results, they could order a retreat. In fact, if they returned to their country without achieving any results, they might be criticized by the emperor, but they would not lose their lives.

Fundamentally, the main reason for this situation was the mistakes of the commanders of the elite team, so it was enough to put the blame on them. This was the idea of ​​the two generals.

In the Holmt garrison, the reserve was mobilized and an army of 18,000 men was formed. They were divided into three groups and deployed in the center and on the two wings.

Normally, the center with the main position should be strengthened, but this time the same number of troops was deliberately assigned. This was a decision Galatea made after observing the Treba army at dawn.

The Treba army was divided into two groups, each with 10,000 men.

This is because the original battle plan was for General Barrot's troops to attack the city, while General Rundle would block the enemy's attack in front of the city gate.

Then, they planned to attack the city wall with a frontal attack, or force the city gates to open and seize the Holzlein Palace by taking the people as hostages. To this end, they prepared two command systems to coordinate the action.

However, once the battle began, this plan backfired. If the troops were operating in different locations, it might be better to have separate command chains, but if they were fighting in the same battlefield, the two sides' commands might interfere with each other.

Theoretically, one of them should be in command, but since the two had equal ranks and power, and neither was willing to obey the other, the result was that the two forces maintained their system.

First, Galatea ordered Rendel's right wing of 10,000 men to launch an offensive together with the left wing and the center of 12,000 men. This was based on the basic tactics of defeating one by one.

Of course, Barot's 10,000 men could not stand idly by. They tried to attack the flank of the enemy's center, but were blocked by Holzlein's right wing.

When trying to fight against the flank, the right wing retreated, and when trying to launch an offensive against the center, the right wing came back. In this way, Barrot's team could not move and became powerless.

Galatea observed this subtle dynamic from the city wall and issued instructions.

The flag bearer standing beside Galatea converted the detailed flag language into signals and conveyed them to each team. Then, the dedicated signalman of each team conveyed the instructions to the entire team through the horn signal, so that even without the commander's orders, they could act like a living being.

Each team had a commander, of course, but their job was simply to see that the bugle call was carried out.

To make such a complex movement possible requires a considerable level of training, which Galatea has been emphasizing and mastering in his daily training.

--------------

Pinned between Holzlein's left and center, Lendl's line was rapidly reduced.

Barrot's team not only stood by and watched, but also tried to provide support many times, but suffered losses under the wave-like attacks from the left wing and the magical attacks flying from the city wall.

The situation was clear at this time, but Galatea still did not relax and continued to issue precise attack orders to the magician team.

"What an outstanding performance, Secretary of War." Klein, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, praised.

"If you don't show this level of performance, Renzi's reputation will be damaged. As a woman, if you want to put on airs in the palace, you must do your job well."

"It's really amazing. I can't imagine this from the usual Galatea."

"Ye Kai, what kind of person do you think I am?"

After a little thought, Ye Kai expressed his opinion without hesitation: "Well, he is a bit willful, right?"

"You are quite straightforward. Then you should be more willful and unceremonious in the future."

"That's for nothing. I'll make you something delicious next time."

"I already know what you think of me."

While they were chatting on the wall, the enemy's right wing had already been defeated. Galatea ordered the center and left wings to spread out easily and enter a pursuit battle. They fired powerful magic from the rear to the retreating enemy left wing without hesitation, defeating it as well.

Then, they gradually expanded the right wing, surrounded and annihilated the enemy with their entire army.

"Have the commanders issue a surrender proposal. Those who do not resist should be disarmed, tied up and thrown out."

"Yes!"

The flag bearer delivered the signal. Ye Kai was even surprised by such complicated instructions. Then, the Treba army expressed its willingness to surrender in about half an hour.

----------------

The number of dead in the Treba army was close to 7,000. Their hair and belongings were removed and then they were buried in pits and burned.

Those who surrendered and those who were wounded were to be detained and handed over. Afterwards, a ransom was demanded from the Treba Empire, money to pay for food and in exchange for extradition. Holzlein was anxious to conduct these negotiations, as many of those detained outside the South Gate were insane.
