Chapter 316 - 22: Making the Wedding Dress for Others
This was an asymmetric war, with the strengths of the two sides vastly unequal.
There were no ambushes, no guerrilla warfare, and no sudden assaults; if any tactics were to be mentioned, it was only the most fundamental coordinated operations, a grand and royal head-on battle.
Archers laid down suppressing fire, spearmen advanced from the front, Guards weaved through to fragment the enemy, Heavy Equipment protected the flanks, and Cavalry provided mobile support.
And with this combination of strikes, the Holy War Army was directly reduced to ashes.
The firepower of the archers and the advance of the spears equated to artillery and infantry coordination in the era of cold weapons.
The Guards found weak points to slice through the battlefield, fighting a beautiful war of annihilation.
Even Jet and Dick, who commanded the war, found it unbelievable.
This could no longer be called war.
They had slaughtered six thousand of the Holy War Army, losing less than three hundred of their own soldiers, and most of those were wounded rather than killed in battle.
When the Holy War Army faced the baptism of the first volley of arrows, and gaps were chiseled into their lines, their defeat was sealed.
