Chapter 0078: The First Battle (Part I)
The ten-hour march, even on a war horse, was a great burden for the professionals, and the two soldiers of the right wing group were now in a very poor state of mind, almost lying on their horses when riding, and the two horses sitting down were also half tired and half dead, as if they had just been fished out of the water, and the sound of rapid wheezing in the horse's mouth was like a dilapidated bellows that had been pulled.
The noise also reached the ears of the two soldiers.
"Wait a minute." The hunter who took the lead whispered, "There is a situation. ”
"Someone!" The thieves reacted immediately.
The task of the outpost is to search for the enemy, and while touching the enemy, there is also a high chance of being discovered by the enemy, and the danger in the battlefield is very high, and it is necessary to be vigilant to deal with possible attacks, so the speed of riding a horse is not fast, and it only takes more than ten seconds to stop holding the reins.
After listening for a moment, the two soldiers' expressions became solemn.
"What should I do?" The thief asked.
The hunter hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to do something, but eventually changed his mind: "Go back!" ”
The two soldiers resolutely turned their horses and galloped back, and it took less than two minutes from hearing the noise to leaving decisively, without showing even the slightest curiosity, everything was the standard practice of implementing the plan planned in advance, and soon disappeared into the gloomy dense forest.
A few minutes later.
Just where the two soldiers turned around and left, a thin and short figure was revealed, and under the glimmer of the setting sun was shimmered by the shade of the trees, and it could be seen that the person who suddenly appeared was a thief in simple leather armor, whose face was at most seventeen or eighteen years old, and he walked nervously to the horseshoe mark and squatted down to check.
"Scouts of the army." The thief said to himself, "It has to be right now..."
Before he could finish speaking, the thieves felt a gust of wind coming from behind.
Burst!
There was no time to react, and as soon as the thief sensed that something was wrong, the jet-black dagger stabbed into his neck from behind, easily stabbing the cervical vertebrae and exposing half of the dagger tip at the Adam's apple, and after harvesting his life in an instant, a strong arm grabbed the limp fallen corpse and gently placed it on the ground.
Wu Hao, who broke away from the sneak, pulled out his dagger, and warm blood splashed his face.
"The first." Wu Hao, who killed for the first time, didn't feel a little nauseous and uncomfortable at all, raised his hand and wiped the blood on his face, with an inexplicable look on his face, there was not much tension in the first place, and from the moment he killed the thief, it turned into a sense of excitement that slowly burst out in his heart.
The dead thieves, apparently the sentry of the defectors.
As a soldier, Wu Hao is indeed a rookie, but it does not mean that he is completely blind to the war, King's College has a military strategy course that is compulsory for every academy to take, and the full 3 years of cadet career has made him familiar with the professionalism that every professional on the battlefield should have.
What is lacking is only the practical practice of translating theory into experience.
That's the power of knowledge!
Not every civilian is qualified to study in civilian colleges, the vast majority of low-level soldiers are actually illiterate people who have not undergone systematic learning, and the experience of ordinary soldiers comes more from one battle after another, and the 12 soldiers of the outpost are just lucky ones who have survived many cannon fodder and have enough time to accumulate.
Graduates of civilian academies are nothing more than the product of violent forced learning.
In the entire Lordaeron Kingdom, only the students in King Brill City's Academy can freely choose to learn the knowledge they want, and there are indeed too many wastewood for students without external forces, but as long as they are serious graduates, each of them will be all-round talents, and they are the most precious and rare tactical and strategic talents.
It seems that the graduates of King's College and Civilian College are similar.
Even the graduates of the civilian academy are a little higher.
In fact, the graduates of King's College who have taken the initiative to study are exactly the same as the cadets who graduated from the high-pressure environment of the Civilian College in terms of their intrinsic knowledge of the war, and as long as these students are lucky enough to survive again and again, the potential advantages given to them in their college careers will eventually bring about a huge difference in their future achievements.
King's College trains future commanders.
The civilian academy only cultivates the backbone of the middle and low-level army.
The reason why the professions who graduated from King's College, such as the current squadron leader Marlan, will be appointed as a squad leader just after graduation is undoubtedly the protection of talents by the rulers of the kingdom from another point of view, these future commanders only lack actual combat experience, and a higher starting point will provide a relatively safe environment to better promote the smooth growth of talents.
The price is nothing more than some inferior cannon fodder.
"I seem to understand the ruler's thoughts." Wu Hao sneered and ran towards the flank.
Even the soldiers who were running on horseback had reached the limit, and Wu Hao, who relied on his legs to sneak to follow, was no better, and now his physical strength was only about one-third, and the mental state of the whole person was even more sluggish, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he would definitely be able to fall asleep immediately if he wanted to lie on a comfortable bed.
But now he is in a state of euphoria.
Defectors have been in the kingdom of Lordaeron for a long time, and in hundreds or thousands of years, they have continued to appear and be exterminated, and they have gradually grown in the orc wars, and now they have developed a fairly large scale, so that the kingdom legions sent troops to encircle and suppress them on a large scale, and naturally they also have a certain degree of war literacy.
The defectors are not simple bandits, but an irregular, militarized force.
The thief secret whistle killed by Wu Hao is an example.
The soldiers of the two outposts were not wrong to leave after discovering the enemy's situation, their military careers and humble backgrounds determined that they could not have a global view, if Wu Hao did not follow secretly, when Anthony gathered the outpost troops to arrive, perhaps what was waiting would be a well-prepared ambush.
This is where the role of the outpost is to spy on the enemy with their lives.
If the number of defectors is not far away, perhaps even Marlan, who came with the main force, will be hit unimaginably, and it is normal for the entire team of more than 200 people to be wiped out here.
Even if Marlan realized that something was wrong and didn't follow, this battle plan would be considered a failure.
How can there be immortals in war?
From the perspective of the kingdom as a whole, the elimination of defectors by the army or the elimination of defectors by the ruler is nothing more than a war of attrition that lasts for a certain period of time, and the kingdom's huge army system and complete fresh blood supply organization do not care about the slightest loss in local battles.
The war is a balance of forces, and if it continues, the defectors will definitely lose.
As for the next time the defectors form a new force, it is another thing to endanger the stability and prosperity of the kingdom everywhere, and then there will naturally be a new large-scale liquidation, and there will be an army that will be wiped out during the continuation of the battle, as long as the final winner is the kingdom of Lordaeron, then elite talents and excellent commanders and heroes will continue to appear under the big waves.
This is war.
"Only those who survive can judge war; Only by attaining a certain status and achievement can it be possible to change the war, and even all the irrationality! Wu Hao felt that the blood all over his body was burning, and he ran silently between the outer jungles where the constant noise was heard, relying on his powerful perception ability to find the other defector sentries that must have existed.
Killing a defector is not satisfying.
Maybe one day, he will step on the bones of many people, stand at the top of the human race in another world, every word and action will determine the life and death of thousands of people, most people will surrender to their feet, and the hostile forces will be terrified when they hear their names, and even all the disasters that can be foreseen will be changed by their own hands.
Just from.
