Division C

Solemnace Lombard 570CE-649CE defeats EdmondDantes Indian 320 AD-545 AD 51-25

The Lombards had faced many threats on their campaigns but nothing stirred terror like the threat of Elephants. Proven to panic horses and difficult to fight with cavalry weapons when the Lombards realised how many Elephants the Guptas could bring to face them fear spread through the ranks. To face this threat plans were hurriedly shifted. Rather than the mass of Lancers the Lombards had previously deployed they instead dismounted some of their cavalry to instead deploy as infantry. Levy reserves of foot archers normally only used as reserves or to defend the camp were instead hurriedly deployed to the battlefield in as great a number as could be mustered. The Lombard fears were soon realised as a great host of Elephants could be seen in front of them backed up by a mass of archers with Chariots, cavalry and close fighting infantry to support them though there was some relief that no artillery had been brought by their opponents. The Lombards had little choice but to split their anti Elephant forces to face the two groupings of Elephants the Indians had deployed leaving only a thin screen of redeployed Lancers to hold the centre. The Lombard left wing was able to overcome the Elephants and supporting archers relatively easily with only a few losses triggered by a panicked attempt by some cavalry to fall back triggering a fragmented unit of archers trapped in close combat with an Indian chariot to break as well. The Lombard right wing had much more difficulty. There were many more elephants deployed agaisnt them and they were better able to get into the Lombard Lancers who struggled to pull back from combat against the Elephants. The Elephants proved to be their own undoing as after Fragmenting one with a flank charge by some of the dismounted Lombard cavalry some plucky archers decided to try their own luck by charging the Elephant as well only for it to not only break itself but trigger a chain rout among most of the remaining Indian elephants still fighting. A few quick attacks to exploit this sudden and unexpected success forced the Indians to flee the field and the Lombards were left relieved that it could have gone so much worse if not for a great stroke of luck.
