Chapter 145: Refining
For the first time, the rebel and rebel teams came into close contact, and the two sides fought to a draw—at least on the surface.
For a variety of reasons, the offensive and defensive sides used their best to play real fire as soon as they met. In other words, because the attack of Aberdeen was too fierce, the Taranto rebels also had to fight back with all their might, fighting for their lives. Otherwise, they would probably have been mutilated by now.
In any case, the outcome of this battle made the high-level leaders of both sides feel a burst of flesh pain, and everyone chose a truce and rest quite tacitly.
It's like two fierce beasts, each silently licking their wounds, waiting and preparing for the next round of deadly fighting.
For the defensive side of Taranto, this is undoubtedly advantageous. They will have more time to repair and strengthen the fortifications and rearm the war fortress.
General John, for unknown reasons, acquiesced to what happened.
After a big war, some people are happy and some are sad.
Anthony didn't get into it.
Even if he wanted to mix, General John and other high-ranking Aberdeen officials should not give him this opportunity. What Frankie said on the edge of the Yokohara Rift did have some effect. The officers of the Aberdeen family were now more and more polite to him and everyone on the princess's side.
To be polite, it represents estrangement.
Anthony didn't have much to do about it.
On the other hand, the battle has also paid off for him.
The previous eight consecutive wins were really not battles, they were just games. Or, acting. And such a large-scale legion battle finally allowed him to see something he had always wanted to see.
The combat power of each class, their respective strengths and weaknesses, the cooperative combat between different arms, the command and use of the mage troops, and so on.
The amount of data contained in the Oriental mythology system is extremely large, and the information in it is even more all-encompassing. From national governance and military command, to daily life, food and daily life, everything is all-encompassing. Even if these things have been poured into his mind, reading and browsing is countless times faster than traditional paper materials. But if he wants to read it all, he may not be able to complete this difficult task in his lifetime.
In Anthony's opinion, these huge amounts of information that Xiaobai casually threw over without caring about them are the most precious treasures of that brilliant civilization in another world. In a sense, it is more precious than the mysterious system itself that completely changed the trajectory of his life.
Regardless of the rest, Anthony benefited greatly from the theories and writings on military warfare, as well as detailed accounts of the actual battles and battles that took place at different times in history. In addition, the system uses unimaginably powerful means to realistically reproduce the battlefield scene in his mind, allowing him to see and experience the ruthlessness and iron blood of the battlefield with his own eyes. He also assisted him in sorting out and analyzing the rights and wrongs of each command and each transfer of the commanders.
It can be said that there is no more competent and outstanding teacher in the world than the system. Any leader on the mainland, as long as his IQ does not fall below the horizontal line, as long as he is willing to put in the time and effort, with the help of the system, he can easily become a well-known commander of the continent. If the generals and the national forces to which they belong on the Oss continent know about the existence of the system, they will definitely snatch this terrible system from them at any cost.
For Anthony, theoretical knowledge, practical cases, and even practical experience can all be obtained from the system, and there is no shortage of them. The only difference is the combat power and specific performance of the unique troops and units of the Ostronian continent. For example, the mage troops, and for example, magic equipment. These are all things that Xiaobai does not have in the other world. Even the existence of powerful warriors such as silver and gold fighters whose individual strength far exceeds the average level of soldiers makes some tactical battle formations in the other world no longer applicable.
The emergence of a world like that completely changed the pattern of warfare in the Cold Weapon period. It was normal and common practice to advance to the enemy in a neat and dense phalanx or to resist the enemy's attack. But when the aircraft and artillery were put into the battlefield, these dense and heavy phalanxes were huge targets, and the words "looking for death" were capitalized with the words "looking for death" pieced together by the human body.
In the same way, due to the difference in the path and direction of historical development, the force system formed by the Austein continent over a long period of time based on fighting spirit and magic determines that the commanders of this world cannot copy the successful examples of the cold and period of the other world.
Of course, everything is the same, and the ingenuity of application is in the heart. All Anthony has to do is confirm the confirmation, and there are some necessary fine-tuning.
I have to say that General French is worthy of being the number one general on the main road. Compared to him, General John was very immature and clumsy.
Switching between defense and counterattack, changing the defense of heavily damaged troops, timing of the mage unit's attack and the use of magic equipment, etc. Every fate, every change of response, General John is always two beats slower than his opponent.
And it was this seemingly insignificant difference in speed that allowed the Taranto rebels to firmly grasp the rhythm of the battle, and with the quality of soldiers, training equipment, and other all-round inferior troops, they fought to a draw with a powerful enemy.
Anthony considered himself lucky—though he said so, a bit of a salt in General John's wounds.
Due to the disadvantage of Taranto's army, General French had to do everything he could, and did not dare to hold back in the slightest to ensure that the defense line was not breached. With the all-out efforts of this famous general in the mainland, Anthony can clearly see the combat power of the troops of all arms in different situations, where their limits are, and how far they can go.
Thanks to the careful teaching of the famous generals of Riga, it is estimated that General French would never be proud of creating such a "disciple", Anthony finally made up the last piece of the puzzle on his military command blueprint, and another new star in the military history of the Oss continent has quietly risen in this unknown remote place.
Of course, that's for later.
No matter how good Anthony is, it will be difficult to change the situation that the Aberdeen army is facing now. Not to mention commanding the army, it was extremely difficult to get General John to listen to and accept his opinions.
In addition, the personal battle just now also made Anthony deeply feel that he still lacked a competent weapon.
"Xiaobai, what do you suggest?"
Returning to the tent where he was resting, Anthony immediately called out to Xiaobai in the sea.
The young man in military uniform looked lazy: "It depends on how you plan to use it." If you are killing the enemy on the battlefield, of course, long weapons such as spears, halberds, and lances are the most suitable. If you are fighting alone, or fighting in a small area, it is still easier to use knives and swords. ”
"Hmm." Anthony nodded.
This artificial intelligence, although sometimes crazy, is very unreliable. But this time the advice is quite pertinent.
What kind of weapons do you need?
In terms of the situation he is facing now, he needs a long weapon to break through the formation.
But Anthony has never positioned himself as a fierce general who leads his soldiers into battle.
After a moment of silence, Anthony slowly had a plan in his heart.
Xiao Bai over there crossed his arms and looked at him with slanted eyes.
"How? Have you thought about it? ”
Anthony nodded: "Well, there is a little clue. ”
"So what are you going to do? Find a blacksmith to help you build it? ”
"Of course not." Anthony is a little weird. Looking at Xiaobai's expression of watching a good show, he suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This little white can only nest in his own sea of knowledge all day long, and it is really boring to kill time by arguing with himself or playing tricks on himself.
"There's no better way to ask someone to help than to build it yourself. Now that I have broken through to the middle stage of refining and refining qi, I can already start trying to refine the weapon. You don't think I'll forget that? ”
"Huh~ Have you forgotten what happened to me!" Xiaobai's mouth is full of indifference, but the tone and expression always give people a feeling of anger and corruption.
"What exactly do you choose, let's listen to it, and let this handsome guy check it for you."
Anthony said indifferently: ". ”
The development and evolution of everything always has its own internal laws. The trajectory of the Oss continent and the other world is completely different, but the long history of warfare has given rise to many very similar or even identical weapons.
, is one of them.
Comparatively speaking, the cultural heritage of the other world is a little deeper.
It evolved from the ancient weapon spear, which is a stabbing weapon with great lethality. It is long and sharp, and it is easy to use. The method of winning is subtle and unique, and it is difficult for other weapons to match. Therefore, it has the title of "King of Hundred Soldiers".
Among the eighteen weapons, it is relatively difficult to learn and not easy to master. As the saying goes: moon stick, year knife, a lifetime. This is evident from this.
"Well, now that the two armies are fighting, it is a suitable weapon. However, it is not very convenient to carry it with you in daily life. Xiao Bai quickly recovered from the blow just now, and a narrow expression appeared on his face again.
As soon as Anthony saw his expression, he knew that this little white belly didn't know what tricks were hidden. However, he also played a little trick on himself verbally, and took pleasure in it, and Anthony didn't mind cooperating.
Besides, this "trap", Anthony really can't touch his head at all.
"There's nothing inconvenient, there's space for equipment, and you can just plug it in when you don't use it."
"Hahaha~" Xiaobai held his stomach and laughed. It's like a character who has always only held his head and squatted to defend, and finally suddenly broke out and beat his opponent fat.
That's refreshing, that's refreshing!
"I don't understand, I haven't seen it!"
Anthony thought for a moment, but didn't find anything wrong with his words: "What's wrong?" ”
At this time, Xiaobai naturally wanted to sigh to his heart's content: "Aren't you smart?" Isn't it a genius? Why do you not understand something? ”
"It depends on who you compare with, an outstanding artificial intelligence like us Xiaobai, I, Anthony, naturally can't compare." Anthony accompanied the smiling face, and his posture was extremely low.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction.
A similar drama will be staged once in an interval time, and both of them are familiar and can't be more familiar. Xiaobai is tired of this, and Anthony is willing to accompany him.
The satisfied little Bai Le nodded, opened a folding fan that came out of nowhere with a "brush", and shook it gently and unhurriedly.
"Speaking of refiners, it's so troublesome where you need to put a space ring. Where do you need to worry about the choice of long weapons and short weapons? Have you forgotten that I asked you to get the stone from the dwarf? ”
