Chapter 18: Holding A Position A note from Bragi Fire chec my youtube if you can. I post some songs and gameplay Henrik had a sudden confidence in his heart Give him enough time and give him enough resources the area around this could be turned into a death trap. And if the enemy uses the hills as like connecting points and given command, they could coordinate from the five hills to attack and defend “There is many such historical example of a small force using terrain to defeat stronger cavalry armies” A few examples of such battle come to his mind Robert The Bruce used marshy ground and narrow approaches to prevent English knight from charging effectively in the Battle of Bannockburn That was the decisive victory for Robert Bruce and it is a major turning point in the war which would lead to the de jure restoration of the Scottish Independence Battle of Agincourt also uses narrow muddy ground and defensive stakes. the French knight become trapped and unable to manoeuvre. Battle of Morgarten was fighting in narrow mountain pass, attacking from slopes, rolling rocks and logs down on the enemy Yes, Henrik might not learn ancient medieval tactic, but he does know history. Every once in while the Discovery channel would air this kind of thing or sometimes, he saw it in YouTube. When this happens, he usually watches the video until the end. So, while he did not formally learn military strategy of the medieval era, he does know the general way of certain strategy and how it is employed. The rebel army if it could be regrouped could take the hill. The cavalry forces cannot charge easily, enemy forces are forced into narrow columns. The arches have shelter, and elevation as advantage, hidden fights can ambush from nay sides, creating confusion, panic and chaos in the enemy forces and retreat become difficult for the attackers the more you fight, the more you could not extricate yourself. This is the kind of war that could destroy the knights and cavalry In the battle of Morgarten, one thousand five hundred peasants destroy the myth of knight’s invincibility One thousand five hundred peasants annihilated nine thousand knights However, to recreate such battle is not possible. In the battle of Morgarten, there is lake on one side, mountain on the other and an army basically marching into a natural guillotine. This place is different. Five or six prominent hills surrounding a flat area like a gulf-like structure. There is no lake. And there is no mountain. The army both the nobles and the rebels are scattered But just using these hills as defensive places even two or three hundred rebels could delay or damage one thousand noble army in this kind of terrain. The hill itself the is rear guard. Henrik had all of these thoughts and then he shakes his head “I need people and time to do all of these” he thought to himself. “Then we must hold this position to have a chance for tomorrow” He mutters these words. This time he is confident. For any chance for him to survive this war and understand the things that is happening to him he must first defend this place. Only by defending this place, he had a chance to survive. Even if he survives for one day, that would be enough for now. Yes, this is the saddest thing about his situation right now. He had died around eleven times But he never passes this day. It did not even take hours from him spawning in that muddy area before being killed. This is the first time that he had escape that area. Of course, after escaping that area, he thought he could go to other places and make a run for it. But now, looking at it, this place…. this place is a place of death. But also, the only place where he could find the chance of survival. In the forest, in the rear, in the front, all of them is like a death trap And Henrik somehow understand something about life and death in such a situation. Sometimes, only when you have the determination to overcome the fear of death, face death in the face that you might found
