The cold wind of the wilderness land scrapes the bones like an ice shuttle, comparable to the northern Goliath Snow Country. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Abyssinia, although it is a black soil country on the Apollo continent, is not a hot place, because it is a plateau, and it is actually no worse than the cold of the northern regions of Asia or Europa, and it is far from the real Apollonian heat of his northern country, Egypt.

There are still fierce beasts here from time to time, and groups of monsters attack the city from time to time, and now the wave of monsters has also made the Goliaths who invaded this place conservative, and they dare not attack the land on a large scale, "Here the monsters have become the most stubborn resisters." Yaburi, who was promoted from commander to captain of the Red Hand Flower Wing, once said this about this phenomenon.

There's even a legend about orc xenos... And the real orcs do seem to haunt the southern part of the Apollo continent, deeper and deeper, for example, explorers commissioned by the Republic have trekked through the Apollo Desert, from the western region into the hinterland of the continent, and found ancient ruins in the place known as the Soma Heights...... and bones that do not belong to humans left over from rituals to sacrifice to the beast gods......

The wave of Warcraft has become a practical obstacle, and in this regard, Aremusi of the Golden Gun Citigroup and another flag leader, Uriuri, once organized soldiers to hunt Warcraft in July, calling it the "July Horse Race", and after hearing about it, Governor Jun Peinan fixed it as a tradition, encouraged soldiers to kill more Warcraft, and personally killed more than a dozen seventh-order Warcraft.

In the camp protected by the Ten Thousand Army, the representatives of the soldiers of dozens of wings sat around the campfire with Peinan to discuss and summarize the development of the battle situation.

"Warcraft wants to be encircled and suppressed, and the resistance of the empire cannot be underestimated." According to Lewis's confession, he concluded:

"Lewis once said to me: If you want to win a battle, you have to protect your own wings, and you can do it by attacking the opponent's two wings. Or after disrupting the opponent's formation with artillery bombardment, the cavalry charges and the infantry follows closely.

However, in order to win the battle, it is necessary to plan in detail, including not only the preparation and protection of logistics, but also the ability of soldiers to adapt to the environment, the influence of the ground and weather on the campaign, and the enemy's will to fight.

Battles can only be carried out with all the preparations, so the battle is usually decided long before the battle, and under my leadership, I can confidently say that I am an expert in both battles and battles, and have you ever lost a battle? ”

"Hi, Long live Your Excellency the Governor! We grabbed enough money to sell a building in the city of Abivi. ”

"No, your buildings will be returned to me in the future." Pennan immediately said solemnly.

"Hahahaha!" The soldiers burst out laughing, and then sang: "Commander, commander, what a stingy man, it is more vigorous to withhold the spoils of war than to fight." ”

Ignoring the soldiers' rudeness, Pennan continued, "I thought that would be enough, but Lewis scolded me, saying that I was enough to be a ranch butcher, and that I could not win an empire with horses and swords alone. ”

"General Lewis underestimated the soldiers of the Republic too much, he is insulting our courage and strength! Shame will not be accepted by the soldiers, and let's fight, Governor-General.

Please wash away the shame with victory and prove our strength. "The soldiers collided with each other with knives to express their displeasure.

Pennan drew his sword and signaled them to be quiet, and as soon as the gesture was made, there was an instant silence below.

The faces of every Goliath who sat there were unusually silent, though still deeply angry, and there was a terrible glint in their eyes, but not one spoke.

The Peugeot features on Pennan's perfect silhouette give the impression that suddenly shifts from excitement to calm:

"Originally, like you, I didn't believe this, and quarreled with him, but now I think about it, and find that it is really difficult to conquer an empire if the army alone does not consider political factors.

What are the three conditions that the best army must have? ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion below, except for the martial idiot who leaned against the corner of the wall, carefully wiping his samurai sword. The rest are mired in huge controversy.

Some said, "It depends on the intensity of the combat will, the distribution of materials, and the degree of training." ”

Some said, "It's okay to be fanatical about His Majesty the Emperor, not afraid of death, and you don't need three." ”

Some say, "Iron discipline, fierce and ruthless to the enemy, laughing and slaughtering the enemy's women and children, robbing them of their things, and using the enemy's women and children as shields for our soldiers and our food from the enemy's flesh and blood for the siege." However, those who held such arguments were immediately despised by everyone.

Although almost everyone is doing this kind of thing, it is too bold to say such things openly at a military seminar, once the Goliaths were indeed proud of slaughtering the city, but now, whoever openly says this will be betrayed by the parliament and sentenced to death.

"Who said this, stand up, didn't we just standardize military discipline? I, who have been called the savage butcher, have made up their minds not to kill indiscriminately, and who else, that butcher, is in the army. Pennan yelled.

"It's the scum of Aremusi, hahahaha!" The soldiers shoved him out and laughed.

Peinan waved the war knife in his hand, signaling him to disappear from his gaze immediately, Aremusi embarrassedly burrowed into the crowd, but was laughed by the soldiers and retreated, "Aremusi, didn't you just say that the Governor Army would support you?" ”

At this time, Uri stood up weakly, and said to the loud Pennan, "Please stop the noise, let me say what I think first." ”

There was a brief silence, followed by the discussion of the novel, and it was not until Penan nodded that everyone fell silent again.

"First of all, I state my opinion: I advocate three factors for victory, namely, the strength of the willingness to fight, the distribution of materials, and the degree of training.

In my opinion, the strength of the soldiers' willingness to fight is the fundamental reason why an army fights bravely.

This willingness to fight is also divided into two distinct types of willingness to fight, one is the army that lives in harsh conditions, is not afraid of battle, and is eager to plunder. Like many nomads and savages throughout history, the Tatar cavalry, which is now active in the East, relied on this innate martial spirit.

And the sense of honor of the military tradition formed after relying on primitive bravery and ferocity to defeat many enemies also makes them more fearless to fight against all kinds of enemies in the future.

There is also an army based on a very high honor and military tradition, this sense of honor is different from the previous one, the former is the survival instinct in a harsh living environment, this is the sense of superiority of their own national culture and the national culture of the respect for the winner and the disdain for the loser makes them not afraid to fight with any enemy, the military tradition formed after many victories, this military tradition makes them fearless to achieve more victories, most of the military power armies in the classical era belong to this, such as Rome, Sparta.

There are also the Oghuz people who once established the Golden Empire, they are more special, they have the fierceness and tenacity of nomadic tribes, and have the tenacity and discipline beyond ordinary people, the Khan can make his cavalry pretend to flee, and then when the enemy pursues, with extremely strong discipline and integrity, his cavalry quickly counter-encirclement the pursuing enemy, with dense bow and arrow fire to disrupt the pursuing enemy formation, and then their light and heavy cavalry will bite and gnaw like wolves to cut the enemy into pieces and destroy them.

This kind of discipline is easy to say, but it is not something that even us Goliathians can do with a simple army. Many nomadic tribes now do not have this kind of discipline, so it is not worth paying attention to at all.

Unorganized nomads, they are, at best, a rabble that will only rush in.

Of course, it is said that there is now a branch of the Oghuz people in the East, the tribe called the Manchurian Tatars, who possess this discipline, and if they maintain the prowess of the nomads, and with this discipline, they may grow into extremely formidable opponents.

In short, the nomads, their cavalry had caused great fear in the people of the republic in the past, and almost no one believed that anyone could defeat them in the steppe.

And we Goliaths...... In any case, there is not only the habit of bravery formed by the national tradition, but also the military tradition of not fearing any enemy left by the fanaticism for the honor of war and the dignity of the samurai. So in terms of the intensity of the will to fight, our army now does not have to worry.

Then let's look at the second factor, the distribution of supplies.

This includes the weapons and armor used by the soldiers, the availability of supplies for the soldiers during the battle, the conditions for post-battle healing, and the distribution of rewards and punishments and spoils. Weapons and armor can be understood as the speed at which a soldier kills or injures an enemy, while the acquisition of supplies, healing, and the distribution of rewards and punishments are related to the length of time a soldier's will to fight can be maintained.

In fact, there are many aspects of this factor that we can do but cannot do, including medical care and rewards and punishments and distributions, where our republic has the best technology, but tradition prevents doctors from entering the army.

In the distribution of loot, the superiors can completely deduct everything.

In addition, various early map deployment strategies and tactical deployment strategies are designed to temporarily weaken the enemy's ability to fight and distribute materials, so as to achieve the purpose of their own needs.

And finally, the degree of training. This is something that cannot be changed by various strategies, which can effectively strengthen the soldier's willingness to fight, and at the same time make the army react faster after obtaining the intention of its own generals.

It is able to hold out for longer in the face of adverse combat conditions.

Perhaps compared to some armies of the classical era that were extremely strong in individual force, or other armies that had been formed into battle formations by releasing the Force en masse, although our legions were inferior in the personal experience and individual force of the soldiers, they were not necessarily inferior in combat quality.

But as far as cooperation is concerned, no one in the current Western Continent can surpass the splendor of the classical era, and even our republic must admit it.

The armies of the classical era were strong precisely because they possessed the best fighting will, materiel and training of the era, and of course, individual force.

Looking at the current mainland, the criteria for judging whether a country's military is strong or not are still these three points.

We can more or less see in the armies of the great nations where one or two of them meet those conditions.

And in the case that there is not much disparity in the number of troops or does not take into account the factor of generals.

From a country-to-nation perspective, we no longer have to worry about any enemy, even if they are armed with sharp bows, horses, and excellent armor, and a high willingness to fight.

But at first glance we can stare at their weaknesses, the difference in overall national strength.

Of course, this must be seen in a relative light, comparing the enemy with oneself...... Since their national strength is weak and they are still lacking in the supply of materials, we will increase our efforts specifically for these two points, focusing on taking care of supply bases and fortresses in map deployment, and trying to let the generals in the front give full play to the training advantages and make use of the terrain conditions in the battlefield deployment.

Of course, this is only from the point of view of the pure battlefield, as far as it is on the battlefield. That depends on all kinds of unpredictable reasons, and the ability of the generals in the front to use various arms according to the timing is unpredictable, otherwise, what is the suspense of the war? ”

The group stood up, everyone bowed to him, and applause rang out.

But there were also those who objected and tried to come out, but Penan had already said strongly, "These are the three factors, he answered correctly, it's about the same as Lewis's original words" Those who tried to express a different opinion were forced to go back.

Then Pennan plunged his sword deep into the ground and said, "All of this only explains and teaches us. How the war was won. And then what? After you have laid down a country, what do you do after that? If we follow the most effective methods of warfare, slaughter cities. After that, all you got was a wasteland of weeds covered with dry bones. If we rob a country by brutal force, then the crimes of war will be the greatest disadvantage to our future rule, and everyone will rebel against us, both openly and covertly. ”

"Harsh government is as fierce as a dragon. These are almost the exact words of his Lewis, and some of his words do make sense, otherwise his cunning character would not have dissuaded me from killing. Moreover, he himself is not a person with a good heart. ”

Penan made a change, he was a pure Goliath, most of the time he was not stubborn at all, and would change his behavior whenever he felt it made sense.

Of course, like most Goliaths, they will not change their traditions.

The war in Abyssinia changed everyone, but at the cost of Abyssinian blood......

The Abyssinians were not afraid of death.

The Abyssinian cold and fierce beasts made the people here extremely fierce, not to mention that the Hebrews were a desert semi-nomadic people known for their bravery and war.

Even their brothers, the Edomites of the Desert, were known for their ferocity, cunning, and fear of death, and the Edomites were arguably the most successful roadblockers.

Abyssinia's once great power ended with a civil war.

Ever since the King of Kings lost his authority, the feudal empire faced a Byzantine crisis in Eastern Rome: the military district system collapsed and the local aristocratic lords became virtually independent.

The harassment of the Viking pirates began to be serious from that time, and the pirates even went deep into the hinterland of the empire in groups of twenty or thirty people to slaughter villages, and many tax collectors sent by the empire were killed in the villages by those ambushed pirates.

Originally, the Vikings were just pirates, but now on land, they naturally become pirates.

Then came an even greater crisis, when the brutal Goliaths began to invade, far more ferocious than their Viking counterparts, leaving no life in the lands they passed, and the vast empire was powerless to resist the advance of the Goliaths.

Originally, thanks to the military district system, the empire's troops in various fiefdoms totaled 600,000, including 400,000 peasant soldiers, 200,000 noble soldiers, and 400,000 troops directly under the king of kings, the empire had an army of one million.

Among them, there were 80,000 cavalry, although the Goliaths were strong and constantly occupied the territory of the empire, but this could lead them to the interior, and when the time came, the nobles from all over the country would work together to annihilate the Goliaths who were alone in the depths.

But no one would have imagined that it was the former imperial army that was constantly attacking the empire's borders today - there were so many nobles like Pisanao, Duke of the Wild Wolf, who surrendered, and more than 200,000 troops surrendered to the Goliaths, who happily joined the citizenship of the republic and became planning citizens.

These people were in the same relationship with the Goliaths, as they were between the Gallic chieftains and the Roman conqueror Caesar, who were willing to be driven by the temptation of citizenship in a great power, and did not hesitate to betray after seeing the ruins of the empire.

Empty fields, towering mountains, rolling hills, sparse meadows.

Fierce and disobedient mountain natives rode to the shores of the Empire with bows and arrows, not cavalry but mounted warriors, hired by local lords to fight against a new invasion of the Vikings, and of course they would not mind taking refuge with the Vikings and robbing the merchants and civilians of the Empire if they had given them more benefits.

From time to time, the nomads who drove the cattle and sheep sang the simple and vicissitudes of the steppe songs, they straddled the white-haired high-headed war horses that were special to the plateau, and carried quivers and curved bows, the nomad's thick and short arms contained great strength, he held a javelin in his hand, and a rope was tied around his waist, and the other of the rope was the men and women he captured, and he wanted to transport these captured slaves to the slave traders, so as to obtain huge profits.

The mountain mercenaries with spears and scimitars, led by the calm-faced commander, temporarily settled in the taverns of the bazaar, perhaps waiting to be hired, perhaps waiting for the hapless foreign merchants to pass by, and they did not mind being robbers, threatening or even killing the caravans from other places, because at this time their hearts were controlled by the desire to make a fortune.

Harsh environment, murderous people.

Everything constitutes the savage atmosphere of the Abyssinian plateau, but the flames of the civil war and the invasion of the Vikings had already caused the empire to decline ten years ago, otherwise how could 20,000 Goliaths invade the empire's territory, kill the empire's fiefdoms, and recruit soldiers who betrayed the empire to fight for themselves?

The Samonai cavalry was in full swing, and their longbows and horses ransacked the lord's fiefdoms and surrounded their castles.

When they were fighting, they would use a dense rain of arrows to block the infantry formation in place and not move a single inch, and then send small groups of light cavalry to break into the side of the enemy infantry column, and the columns in a circular formation suddenly threw javelins forward.

This tends to kill the most valuable crossbowmen in the battle.

When they were done throwing, they quickly pulled back, and at this point, the next team would come back with javelins.

The cycle continued, and finally the infantry columns either had to charge desperately or retreat.

If you charge, it will be difficult for the battle column to remain intact, and the hidden heavy cavalry will be silent and launch a desperate blow, and the whole army will probably be wiped out here.

If you retreat, you will be shrouded in black clouds formed by arrows all the way, and the final losses will be very heavy.

The commander finally chose to charge...... Defend the dignity of the empire.

After seeing a lot of tragic scenes, I still feel uncomfortable, especially when I see that a brave soldier can only get a soldier in the end, and the same soldier, no matter what kind of position, will feel a kind of sadness, and the soldier will always grieve for his opponent, they are mortal enemies on the battlefield, and they are not comrades-in-arms.

"Blood pours the empire, and sin casts the crown." For some reason, Lewis, who was standing with Nishizawa Wufu, suddenly sighed.

"So, you regret it, my brother."

"Some, you shouldn't indulge that wolf, it's very dangerous, we gave him excellent weapons and armor, it's equivalent to sharpening the wolf's sharp teeth, and we should properly let him understand who is the master."

"He's still a wolf, a wolfdog is about the same, he dares to back the board, just beat him.

Instead of focusing on him, think about our finances, which are truly deadly. ”

Nishizawa said with a relaxed smile, he didn't care at all and wouldn't care about a mere wolf duke, such an opponent was not an opponent to him at all, he was the one who was going to make the entire republic his enemy.

He rode away, and his horse let out a cheerful roar, and galloped out at a rapid pace, and finally it took only five seconds for the man and the horse to turn into a black dot.

It was just a thought, and Lewis couldn't even look at the black spots......
