Renaissance Fantasia 41
While Athena was planning how to train Alex, Leah was already on the next step under Ellen's training. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info military strategy training, and when it comes to physical training, things are suspended. Eren incarnated as a great military scientist and systematically trained Leah.
First of all, there is a book of war, and then there is a mock strategy and exam. The previous part is going on very quickly, and Eren has now gone to the sand table training part with Leah. The two set up a position on the sand table, and then began a simulated sparring session. This part is still a relatively simple strategy for fighting the enemy, and the rest of the parts will have to be tested slowly.
"You go first, Leah."
"Okay, then I'm not welcome, Mr. Ellen."
"Well, just come, as long as you can beat me, you'll pass the exam."
"Okay."
With that, Leah began to set up her own formation, and she chose to use all of her army as cavalry. Five of them represent 50,000 light cavalry, and the other five represent 50,000 heavy cavalry. Due to the resource-intensive use of cavalry, Leah's army numbered only 100,000.
On the other hand, on Ellen's side, he chose 50,000 infantry, 40,000 heavy cavalry, and 50,000 archers, for a total of 400,000 people. The two of them set up a position on the sand table, and Liya directly launched a charge.
Eren had already set up a formation, allowing 50,000 infantry to form a shield formation to resist the front of the military formation. Then 50,000 archers formed a defensive formation, while 40,000 heavy cavalry hid behind this phalanx.
Seeing such a change in the formation on Ellen's side, Leah suddenly frowned, she originally hoped that her cavalry would use the speed advantage to raid the opponent's camp and cause continuous casualties to reduce Ellen's strength, but now it seems that this method will not work.
Ellen's formation felt like it was impregnable and couldn't be attacked all at once, which made Leah's original plan waver. Her methods were no longer working, so Leah decisively changed her strategy. Suddenly the light cavalry stopped continuing the charge and began to wait in place for the arrival of the heavy cavalry.
But at this moment, Ellen gave an order, and the 40,000 heavy cavalry under his command took the initiative to rush over. When Leah saw this, she immediately felt that something was wrong, and she let her hussar unit turn around and flee. The heavy cavalry arrived later, and seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Eren suddenly ordered his heavy cavalry regiment to begin to turn around and retreat.
When Lia saw that the other party was about to flee but did not rush to chase them, she let the heavy cavalry take the lead and form a front formation, and the light cavalry followed closely behind and began to charge in a group. Eren rushed over when he saw Leah like this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, his 50,000 archers had already attacked.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the sound of Ellen's order, the archer troops sent out a rain of arrows from the sky. Leah knew that the rain of arrows was coming, so she ordered the cavalry to speed up the charge. She rushed to Ellen's shield formation at the cost of losing 10,000 light cavalry, and soon the shield men and heavy cavalry clashed together, and the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry quickly broke up the shield formation.
At the cost of losing 10,000 heavy cavalry, Leah created a huge gap in Ellen's formation, and the cavalry swarmed up and began to slaughter Ellen's archery troops. At this time, Ellen ordered the formation to change, and his troops of archers spread out on both sides, and the heavy cavalry troops rushed out from behind the archers formation!
"Oops!"
Ria saw her heavy cavalry engage the opposing forces, and the retreating archers once again launched a rain of arrows. Her light cavalry troops began to suffer heavy losses again, and in the blink of an eye, Leah's light cavalry lost another 10,000, and it seemed that there would be not many left.
At this moment, the front-line heavy cavalry was in conflict with Ellen's heavy cavalry, but the rear was blocked by his own light cavalry. At this time, Lia suddenly panicked, and she hurriedly ordered her light cavalry troops to start retreating to leave a way for her heavy cavalry, but at this moment, Ellen's attack was in full swing.
"Archer, pick up the spear!"
As Leah's light cavalry retreated, Eren ordered his archers to pick up their spears and begin to assist the front row of heavy cavalry in attacking Leah's vanguard heavy cavalry. Immediately, Liya's heavy cavalry suffered heavy losses, and in the blink of an eye, another 10,000 heavy cavalry were lost. The original 50,000 heavy cavalry and 50,000 light cavalry troops are now only 30,000 each.
"Retreat!"
Leah finally gave the order, and her heavy cavalry retreated. Ellen's heavy cavalry corps did not pursue it, but rearranged its formation and prepared for Leah to attack again. Seeing this, Leah sighed, she had no idea of continuing to attack.
"Damn, Ellen, you won, I can't break through your formation."
Leah looked at Eren in such a restored formation, and the losses on his side were completely one-to-three compared to his own side. She was not sure of victory, so she admitted defeat.
"Well, so cavalry is not a panacea, what you need to learn is to use all types of soldiers wisely. For example, my archers can be turned into pikemen and shield soldiers if I need them, but the cavalry does not have the ability to do so. ”
Eren briefly summarized the direct class advantage, and Leah nodded slightly after listening. There were so many things she hadn't expected, and Ellen had sorted them all out, and that's why she was defeated.
"Well, I originally wanted to harass you with bows and arrows with light cavalry, but I didn't expect you to prepare shield soldiers in advance, so I launched the charge order. But.... Ay~~. ”
After Leah said what she had thought before, Eren smiled slightly, he already knew the purpose of Leah's choice of cavalry. If such a war of attrition continues, it is only a matter of time before he wants to win.
"It's okay, let's eat a trench and grow wise, should we come again?"
"Good!"
Hearing Ellen's words, Leah nodded. She decided to learn from the experience of the failure just now and try again, so the two began to practice in the sand table again. This time Leah chose to be cautious, but this time the situation was different from just now, at this time, the two of them each had a small city stronghold, and the two small cities were separated by dozens of miles.
Seeing this, Leah first began to think about a direct coping strategy. First of all, there must be cavalry, and then there will be archers, infantry, and engineers. After all, if you want to win Eren in this situation, then attacking the city is the best way, and to attack the city, she needs construction machinery made by the engineers.
