"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase" The sixteen-character formula Charles can recite it backwards.

But this is easier said than done, and it is not easy to do this on the ground.

First of all, you must know the enemy's troops, the number of weapons, as well as where the enemy is advancing, where he is stationed, fatigue value, and where to retreat, in order to carry out targeted tactical arrangements.

The second is that your team must have higher mobility than the enemy, otherwise you will be dumpled by the enemy if you can't retreat.

Third, the army under his command must have a strong will to fight, and the commanders at the grassroots level must have a flexible mind, so as to ensure that the soldiers will not be frightened by the enemy's superiority in strength, and the commanders will not miss the opportunity or fight the enemy to the end and eventually annihilate the whole army because they do not know how to advance or retreat.

Among the several problems facing Charles now, the construction of base areas on which intelligence warfare is based can be negligible, and tactical problems can only be solved by relying on technical arms.

Mobility can be solved by wolf cavalry, and goblin wolf cavalry is much more mobile in the woods than human light cavalry.

The NPC's will to fight can be trusted, but the commander can't help it, and the biggest problem now is that the NPC commanders don't have such a high combat quality, and it is extremely uneconomical to copy a large number of grassroots officers.

So Charles adopted a stupid solution to the problem of a shortage of junior officers. He draws a number of lines horizontally and vertically on the sand table, dividing the whole area into several areas, and different areas have different tasks.

The order has been given, and it depends on how the two sides make a move.

Behind the group of light cavalry sent by Cynthia just now, there was a cavalryman who was left behind and was not discovered by Charles, so he brought the target position back.

At this time, she is also in the stage of accumulating strength, and it is not yet time to attack.

Late that night, a group of 100 light cavalry assembled beneath Cynthia's castle. Their task was to make a large circle in the bright moonlight and launch a sneak attack from the rear of Charles' camp early tomorrow morning.

Charles's habit of making NPCs work two shifts has been figured out, and that time will be the time for NPCs to change shifts.

The night jungle march was a great test of the quality of the army, so Cynthia assigned a commander of the rank of commander to this cavalry.

In the woods, they can only rely on the stars in the sky to determine their head, while using the rivers on earth as important landmarks.

They walked a few kilometers due east to the edge of a small river, and then followed it in a southeasterly direction.

At the end of the river was a small lake, and the cavalry continued to walk south around the lake, and when they came across another small stream, they jumped over it with their prancing horses, and then continued south according to the position of the stars in the sky until they came across a hill.

The difficult terrain in the woods made it impossible for the cavalry to pick up their speed, and the slightest mistake could injure the horse's legs.

It's a real world, with insects chirping at night and owls chirping.

An owl flew silently through the woods, without a sound.

One of the cavalrymen riding behind his comrades closed his eyes, and he suddenly let out an "um", attracting the attention of the commander next to him.

The commander asked, "What did you find?"

The trainer, who was sharing vision with the owl, said: "There are wolves two kilometers ahead, and they are sleeping. ”

The commander immediately ordered: "Keep an eye on them, let's go around to the right." ”

The owl landed on the branch, watching the wolves below.

Just as the cavalry was bypassing the wolves three kilometers away, a crossbow bolt fired from the shadows plunged into the owl's body.

Before the owl's carcass could hit the ground, a group of goblins emerged from the bushes, and they quickly tied their saddles to the timberwolf's body, and then chased the timberwolves in the direction of the cavalry with their sense of smell.

When the owl was shot, the trainer gave an early warning, and the commander immediately ordered the cavalry to move quickly.

The goblin wolf cavalry quickly caught up, and the five wolf cavalry scattered and stuck to the rear of the cavalry team.

Goblins can't do magic, but they can use other tools.

A red firework explodes in the night sky, illuminating the forest a thousand times red.

The commander whistled, and the whistle wafted through the woods where the horses' hooves rumbled.

The two ten-man teams in front of them, who were the spearheads, had already spread out to the flanks, preparing to sneak around the rear according to the commander's orders, and flank the scout front and rear with the headquarters that was about to turn the horse's head.

After eliminating the enemy scouts, the exposed cavalry will change course to avoid the enemy's ensuing siege.

The audience has been paying attention to the movements of this hundred-man cavalry team, and many people sighed with regret when they were discovered.

In a box-like auditorium, the Marquis Hermanlich and his family were watching intently about the condition of their daughter's team.

The Marquis Hermanlik exclaimed, "[Northland foul-mouthed]! The boy in command is doing a good job, much better than those who can only drink, and if there is such a person, I can give him a viscount." ”

There are quite a few noble officers under the command of the Marquis who can command a cavalry hundred, but there is not a single person who can lead a cavalry hundred-man team in the woods at night under the condition of only relying on moonlight lighting to not only move in a disorderly formation, but also to make a tactical counterattack.

"Xiong Da", who was sitting next to him, said: "Such a person can't be put together with one hand in the Praetorian Guard, if we can have such a person to help, our plan will be much easier." ”

The Marquis Hermanlik did not answer, and at this time there was a new change on the battlefield.

The five goblin wolf cavalry chased them twenty meters behind the cavalry after firing the flares, and then took out their crossbows and fired a volley at the enemy in front of them.

One of the horses of the cavalry dodged an arrow because it was about to go around a tree, and the other horses that were targeted were not so lucky, and in an instant four horses were hit and fell to the ground.

The goblins immediately turned the wolf's head, and without looking back, they burrowed into the woods at a speed that the horses could not follow.

At this time, the cavalry outflanking and back, was attacked by another wolf cavalry that rushed nearby, and two horses were shot.

The wolf cavalry also withdrew immediately after the first blow.

This was Charles's first line of defense, and he tasked the goblin squad defending it with the task of destroying about a third of his own number of enemy horses at a time, and then retreating when they reached the number.

The goblins of this line of defense are a maximum of ten people, mainly armed with short bows and crossbows, and they have no problem dealing with the horses of the enemy cavalry.

Humans were exhausted by the time they walked on their own legs without horses in the woodland, and were exhausted by the time they could reach Charles's camp.

Without a qualified front-line commander, Charles had to rely on this method to control the tempo of the engagement.

If he had commanded himself, he would have ordered a second volley before retreating, when the enemy's encirclement had not yet been completed, and perhaps he would have been able to take another bite into the outflanking team behind him.

In this small encounter, the cavalry lost six horses, and the cavalry were only injured but not serious, and they had to continue their journey with their comrades.

Cynthia had long considered the possibility of horses being injured in the woods, and she didn't have so many resources for one person and two horses, but it was still possible to spend a little more resources to recruit better horses.

In the following time, the cavalry hundred-man team encountered wolf cavalry from all directions from time to time.

These wolf cavalrymen also only shot their horses with crossbow arrows at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and retreated after each victory of two or three horses, and did not like to fight.

The cavalry counterattacked several times with bows and arrows, but only managed to suffer a few casualties due to the blocking of trees.

After losing a dozen horses and two hapless cavalrymen, the cavalry team passed through the first line of defense and entered the defense zone of the second line.

That's when they encountered a new situation.

The goblin wolf cavalry on the second line of defense is relatively well-equipped, and the weapons in their hands are breech guns, or simple rifling.

Their mission was to retreat after firing a volley at enemy officers within effective range, running away with or without success.

In previous competitions, breech guns were used sparingly, after all, they were too slow to reload and their accuracy was not satisfactory, so they were used sparingly.

It's just that in the dark of night, it is impossible to see which officer is the officer, and the goblins can only shoot in the crowded area, and they have achieved a little success.

The bloodletted cavalry finally made it through the second line of defense, and by this time they were only a little more than seventy percent of their men and horses.

Charles deployed more troops in the third line of defense, where the Goblin Cavalry Heavy Cavalry Brigade would launch a charge after firing a volley of breech guns at the enemy, depending on the situation, to destroy the enemies that had been cut off.

As a result, Cynthia chose the impassable hilly area as her route in this area, and after a counterattack drove the pursuers away, she entered the mountains, bypassing the ambush circle laid by Charles.

The fourth line of defense was the wooden wall built by the dwarves, but the cavalry suddenly disappeared in the mountains, so that the defenders on the wall in that direction did not see the enemy arrive until the next morning.

After receiving the information, Charles thought for a while and decided that it was just to strengthen reconnaissance in that direction.

After twenty-four hours of hard fighting, the defense system of his camp was almost complete, and dozens of cavalry could not make any noise, so as not to be troubled by Cynthia's attack.

At this time, a team of winged demons came out of the barracks, these flying classes had bug-level mobility in the woodland, and they were the most suitable for them as a rapid reaction force.

It's just that I don't know if it's the bad taste of Reimu, these demons are women with convex and revealing clothes, which makes Charles's camp become erosive for a while.

Charles, who was looking out from the castle ledge, couldn't help but think of his pet demon princess Lena, who would be useful when the game was over.
