297 Guerrilla Tactics
I opened a new book "Starting from a Superstar", everyone can help collect it and recommend it!
Kyle also told him that the elite level of this army could even compete with the most elite royal court guards in the Toulon Empire, where he used to be!
Xiao Feng was convinced of his words, because the army in front of him already had the prototype of a strong army! However, there was still a certain gap from his ideal strong army!
Especially the army he imagined could face the hard-steel with the orcs in the field, just with these soldiers in front of him, it would definitely not work!
Xiao Feng has been at war with orcs many times in this world, and he knows a lot about the habits of these orcs, Charles Sman and Kyle have told him that there are thousands of types of half-orcs, and there are many that they haven't encountered!
But let's talk about the half-orcs who came to attack the city before, not to mention the pig-headed men and minotaurs of the heavy infantry, let's just say those werewolf cavalry and kobolds, this cavalry in front of you will be very difficult to deal with.
After all, the half-orcs have their own beast blood, and the talent advantage of the race is still very obvious compared to humans, in the era of cold weapons, these guys have the upper hand in terms of size, speed, endurance, and strength, and the human army wants to fight against them, and the easiest way is nothing more than relying on hot weapons!
But Xiao Feng didn't dare to let his soldiers touch the hot weapons, even the oldest flintlock muskets, he was unwilling to give them them.
First, there is a civilization gap between these soldiers and his time, and this gap is even greater than the civilization gap between the Eight Banners Green Battalion with broadswords and spears in the eighteenth century and the lobster soldiers of the British Empire.
The human beings in this world, civilization has just begun to evolve, and it can even be said that it has only been a few years out of the era of ignorance, and it is still far from the age of science and technology.
Even before most people joined the army, they couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, and they didn't have any concept of numbers, so they had to practice for a long time to teach them hot weapons, but would the orcs give them this time?
What's more, he has also fought with the orcs a few times, and after a few contacts, he found that these orcs are not all stupid, at least the minds of some generals are still very surprising to him.
These orcs may not have much talent for social civilization, but they are indeed very talented and comprehended in military affairs, such as the previous siege battle, only a few rounds were fought, and those orcs were able to come up with a way to trench warfare to avoid his machine gun fire, which shows that the upper echelons of those orcs are not much worse than humans in terms of intelligence.
What would happen if these hot weapons were lost to orcs in the middle of an engagement?
The orcs have a large number of human slaves in their hands, and there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen among these human slaves.
Even if the power of those copycat hot weapons is much weaker than the genuine ones, it is not something that Xiao Feng can accept, originally the human army has little advantage against the orcs, if the other party still has the hot weapons, then how can they fight them?
The most critical point is that with Xiao Feng's current financial resources, he can't support too many people to use hot weapons in this world!
Guns may not be able to be bought for much money, but what about bullets? With the fighting qualities of the soldiers in this world, I am afraid that after a battle, the amount of ammunition that will be fired is an astronomical amount!
And with the knowledge level and chemical level of human beings in this world, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to let them make bullets and shells in this world!
Even in his world, which has been modernized for hundreds of years, there are probably only dozens of countries in the world that can produce their own guns and ammunition.
And if you want to sell the gun and ammunition production line in that world, it is undoubtedly looking for death, I am afraid that before the production line is purchased, it will be targeted by the national security department.
Therefore, Xiao Feng never thought about arming the human soldiers in this world with hot weapons, but under the condition of cold weapons, when all aspects of physical fitness are at a disadvantage, how to fight against the orcs?
An army that can only defend the city and cannot go out of the city to fight in the field is not what Xiao Feng wants, after all, it is so big outside, he still wants to go and see it.
So after returning to the modern world, in his spare time, he has been searching for various sources to study how to defeat those orcs.
After studying for a long time, he felt that if he wanted to defeat those orcs in the wild, he probably had to be the most effective tactics of the Mongol cavalry.
Spindle tactics, light cavalry advances, combined with iron cans and heavy armor attacks, and proper use of tactics are the reasons for the success of the Mongols in sweeping the European continent that year.
In fact, if the tactics of the Mongols are summed up, it is guerrilla warfare, relying on the endurance of the Mongol horses, and the numerical superiority of their cavalry, one or two horses, or even three horsemen, constantly harassing the heavy armored infantry and heavy cavalry of the Europeans, and when the other side is exhausted, they will send heavy armored cavalry to attack.
This tactic can be said to have been tried and tested repeatedly by European armies in the last medieval, allowing the Mongol army to finally sweep across Europe.
In fact, these tactics are fundamentally speaking, that is, to highlight mobility, and long-range strikes, I hit you, but you can't hit me, I can catch up with you, but you can't catch up with me, it's that simple!
And the Pannivira Peninsula behind him can just provide him with unlimited horse resources, and the horses of this world, after a period of understanding, are very good military horses in his opinion.
Speed, endurance, load capacity, and adaptability to the environment are much stronger than the horses of his world, and with such a military horse, whether it is light cavalry or heavy cavalry, it is not difficult to raise.
This is also the training idea that Xiao Feng has always given Kyle to prompt, if you want to fight against the orcs in the wild, you have to train such a cavalry, who can advance and retreat, and play with a good hand of riding and shooting, and it is a cavalry on the horse, and it must be an infantry when you get off the horse.
However, he can only provide such training ideas, and he is also blind about how to train, after all, he has never even been a soldier, let alone those ancient tactics of training soldiers and cavalry, and this aspect can only be explored by Kyle himself.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the main goal of his base is to recuperate, build high walls, and accumulate food, not to go out of the city to fight the orcs.
When their strength gathers to a certain level, they will choose to go out of the city to fight the orcs in the field.
These three thousand are the elites who have been trained, and Kyle has also trained another three thousand reserves, and the orcs also sent them more than four thousand physically strong slaves last time, and these people have recovered well after a period of recuperation.
Kyle selected 3,000 guys with good physical fitness from these people to form a baggage team, although it is a baggage team, but it is actually a supplementary soldier, and the training of these people has not been left behind.
When there is a loss of elites, these people can also be quickly replenished to the elite troops, so that there will be no personnel disconnection.
And although these people have not yet reached the entry conditions of the elite troops, as the defenders of the city, they are still qualified, even if there are half-orcs attacking, there will not be only two thousand people on their city walls, but six thousand people can go up directly, so that their firepower density can be greatly improved.
After learning about the construction and development of the army, Xiao Feng was very satisfied, the last time he experienced the scene of 10,000 and a half orcs attacking, everyone in the base regarded the army as extremely important.
After all, if there is not enough army, then the city cannot be defended, and if the city cannot be defended, then their tribe will be destroyed.
So although the cost of training these troops is very high, all the people in the base have no complaints, fortunately, the products of this world are too rich.
Even if the people in this base don't know how to farm, as long as they can go to the wild to pick and hunt diligently, the prey they can get is enough to feed everyone in the base.
Especially at Xiao Feng's suggestion, Friday organized manpower and dug a lot of ice under the cave where they lived, increasing the ability to store food.
In fact, in the primitive world, many people often went hungry, not because they couldn't get enough food, but because the way they stored food was too backward.
For example, when the weather is hot, a small tribe hunts a few wild animals, obviously they can't finish eating, but everyone has to eat desperately, because if they can't finish eating, the food will spoil and rot the next day and they can't eat, and when the weather is cold and the food in the wild is insufficient, they can only go hungry.
As a result, many people are hungry and full, unable to obtain long-term and stable survival materials to ensure survival, and even survival cannot be guaranteed.
And the appearance of Xiao Feng taught these natives how to store a large amount of food to ensure the continuity of survival material acquisition, so that everyone does not have to worry about survival in the first place.
The more advanced way of storing food, coupled with the great abundance of materials in the wild in this world, finally made the people of this tribe not worry about food, and even the extra food could support an army that was out of production without any effort.
After understanding the situation of army construction, Xiao Feng finally felt that he had some bottom in his heart, an army of 6,000 people, it was enough to defend the city, half of it was on the city wall, half of it was used as a reserve, plus those militias, and it was used in rotation, even if the next time an army of half-orcs attacked and used the wheel warfare method, there was no need to be afraid.
Kyle finished introducing the situation of the army, and immediately came over to offer treasure on Friday, Xiao Feng was not here during this time, he kept the base in good order, how could he come to Xiao Feng here to invite credit?
