Lerthian Downfall

Lerthian Downfall

The Aintish who had been very quiet decided to join the war they had no allies and a very small army but they were very good and smart soldiers. They had great machines that could knock down walls and trebuchets that could Hurrell huge boulders. King Attain was not a warrior but was. He made a plane taking 8,000 soldiers planned to invade Lerthia and destroy them and gather much plunder The Lerthians caught on to this and gather a huge army of 30,000 with ten thousand cavalries. They were determined to stop the Aintish force the Aintish crossed some cliffs and then met the Lerthian army. Sending forth half his cavalry which numbered around 2,000 the Lerthians scorned him and sent forth 5,000 cavalries then Carnet the name of the old warrior general sent more cavalry and advanced with his infantry. His infantry had an odd formation he had his best soldiers in the front a little of the others. When they hit the swordsman cut deep as they were much better than any Lerthian swordsmen. The Lerthians were surprised by so many. Men being cut down as they panicked Cornet then sent in ruffly 725 Mercenary Cavalry that rushed into the back causing more confusion thousands were cutdown. By the horses of the Lerthians the Lerthians struck at anything that moved. Cornet removed his forces and discovered that he had lost 1300 men mostly from the Lerthian archers. The Lerthians had a decimating defeat 13,000 men killed 10,000 more being wounded and 2,000 captured with 5,000 left they retreated at full speed. Never to return anytime soon to the Tres River where they had suffered such a defeat.
