Chapter 97: A King and his General (10)

The situation gradually became more pressing.
For starters, I reported to General Zepar that I was going to go on a counteroffensive on my own. As expected, Brother Zepar felt really stifled because of our current situation.
We hastily organized the current situation. A new operation was established on the spot. Befitting his position as a veteran general of the Plains Faction, Zepar had a clear grasp of what was happening. He seriously considered my proposal of performing a guerilla operation with my small unit.
Kuh, this is why you need to meet a good superior. If Zepar were incompetent, then he would’ve hesitated to make any rash changes. As a result, the right wing would’ve withered away until it ultimately perishes. The imperial army being led by Rosenberg was certainly talented. To the point of being able to use mounted archers in the middle of the night. However, the troops under Brother Zepar’s command was also capable. This fact fueled me with confidence.
– However, rather than going on a counteroffensive with a small unit, how about doing so on a larger scale, Dantalian?
Before accepting my suggestion, General Zepar suggested his own. His plan was as follows: even if we have to force it a little, we’ll make the entire right wing retaliate all at once. Since the enemy’s vision should be as limited as ours, if we rush at them quickly, the mounted archers will be forced into a close quarters battle. There is no way mounted archers could fight in close quarters. They will have no other choice but to retreat and we’ll encircle their foot soldiers while we’re also pursuing the archers. An annihilation will immediately begin.
“Certainly! That would be much better.”
I was in awe. General Zepar’s method sounded good. With this, the enemy’s goal will immediately be blocked. Our right wing will become free and we will be able to force their foot soldiers into a fiercely chaotic battle.
