Act Eighty-Four. Winning strategy

"This, this tactic, it's really quite bold......"

Even Lord Manstein, who was fond of blitzkrieg tactics and bold actions, showed a shocked expression after hearing Shiloh's stated tactics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Astor lagged behind Wendland in terms of numbers and equipment, compared to the Wendland mobile armored units with magical cannons and heavy cavalry, Asterl was a mixture of leather armor and half-body armor, and the cavalry was also dominated by light cavalry, which was confirmed by the continuous defeat on the frontal battlefield of the Terestan Plains.

Therefore, after the defeat of the Third Army on the frontal battlefield, it has always adopted guerrilla tactics, always avoiding Wendland's edge, and choosing to attack from the flank, so that although it can only achieve small results, it cannot completely crush Wendland's advance, and can only slightly slow down the progress of the enemy's march.

And at the moment, this man named Shiloh. The strategy proposed by Ian Gray's youth was to abandon guerrilla attacks, use a small number of nimble light cavalry as bait, lure the enemy's troops together, and then use the powerful firepower of the bow spirit to destroy them, which was simply something Lord Manstein had never thought of.

"In terms of military strength, Wendland is almost twice as large as ours, and Wendland has a heavy cavalry of more than a thousand men, and more lightly armored foot soldiers and archers; In terms of equipment, Wendland has the Federation's most cutting-edge technology Type 79 magic cannon, under the bombardment of this artillery, even the strongest magic power barrier will be shattered; What's more, we don't have much time, it's been three days since the fall of the Trestan Fortress, presumably that lone wolf in Wendland has also received a battle report here in the Misty Forest, if he is outflanked from the rear, it will be difficult for us to get out. ā€

Shiloh recounted that he had fought alongside several nobles in front of him in his previous life, and knew their temperament well.

"But we also have the advantage, we are more familiar with the terrain than Wendland, the Bow Spirit Envoy is also a hidden killing move that Wendland has not been too guarded against, and now we still have the commanding heights of Trasil, the Bud of the World Tree, and General Strass, who has been promoted to the Legendary rank...... How to make good use of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages is the key to success. ā€

Glancing at Verahill and seeing that the Ranger General seemed to be nodding slightly, Shiloh continued.

"The specific tactics are like this, first of all, we will collectively move the battle line to the rear, all the way to the vicinity of the World Tree Bud Trasil, and arrange most of the bow spirit envoys in groups on the lush branches of the World Tree Bud, so that when the fog dissipates, the effective range can reach up to nine hundred yards, which is enough to cover the entire main battlefield."

"Wait, if you divide them into groups, how will the timing and target of the shot be decided? We don't have the convenience of Chalandel's communication devices. ā€

The well-informed Viscount Wimbles was not too surprised by the tactics proposed by this young man, after all, in terms of his understanding of the Bow Spirit Envoy, he was no less than anyone in the Astel Country, and Viscount Wimbles had also thought about such a use, but he had never put it into practice.

"That's easy to solve."

Shiloh looked at the middle-aged man with a little white hair in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, because the method he was going to say next was actually proposed by this Viscount Wimbles in the game, Shiloh paused, and then spoke.

"In the command center, there are four archers left, and they shoot arrows, and the grouped archers use different arrows as signals to attack different places, compared to scorching arrows, the arrows are lighter, and have a range of nearly 1,200 yards when downwind, and the fluctuations of magic power can be transmitted to a place of 1,500 yards, which is enough to be used as a signal marker."

"Well, that's true......"

Viscount Wimbour fell into thought, the young man in front of him seemed to have a deep understanding of the Bow Spirit Envoy, but thinking about his origin, it seemed to be understandable why this was the case, Viscount Wimble rubbed his chin and looked at Shiloh with a meaningful look.

"And how do you start the battle next?"

"After the dense fog dissipates, Wendland will inevitably take action, we can send a few light cavalry, pretending to be unable to retreat, to introduce Wendland's army into the main battlefield, and at the same time shrink their battle line, restrain it to one point, and then use the archery to suppress the firepower, while Wendland's chaos is in chaos, the cavalry will break into the battle again, and defeat Wendland's main force in one fell swoop."

Shiloh detailed the tactics he had already thought out in his mind, and he noticed that Verahir seemed to raise an eyebrow, but did not interrupt him, and continued.

"And the main task of the Bow Spirit Envoy at this time is to suppress the Wendelan reinforcements from the rear of the battlefield, and when the Wendlan army on the main battlefield is almost wiped out, we will withdraw again, and quickly evacuate the Misty Forest while the enemy does not dare to pursue, this is my plan."

"Well, that sounds like it."

Lord Manstein fought spontaneously for the most part, but after listening to Shiloh's detailed statement, he gradually understood the nature of this tactic, although bold, but actually quite cautious.

"A little."

Shiloh seemed to want to say something when he saw Vera Hill, but the first to speak was Princess Elifils behind him.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Ellifils?"

Asked with some surprise, Shiloh knew that as a military priest, it would always be suspicious to show his tactical talent too much, so when he explained the plan, he deliberately left a few loopholes in the originally complete tactics, he saw Vera Hill's expression and knew that the ranger general already knew these mistakes, but he didn't expect Princess Eliefils to see it too.

"Mr. Shiloh's plan is good, but there are some areas that need to be optimized."

Princess Elyfils took two steps forward and came to a position alongside Shiloh.

"First of all, Wendland will not attack so decisively in the face of a sudden disappearance of fog, so our cavalry may only induce the advance troops, and if we attack the battlefield too early, it is very likely that only a small part of Wendland's army will be wiped out, and their main force will escape."

It was the first hole left by Shiloh that he knew even Horace. No matter how reckless Ekrio is, he can't attack with all his might, and temptation is always part of the battle.

"We also need to lure the enemy more deeply to give them a little bit of sweetness."

Viscount Wimbour added, looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess with some relief, and continued.

"It's better to besiege the vanguard troops, so that Wendelan will definitely think that we have been tricked, and then mobilize their troops lying in ambush on both flanks to outflank them, and at the same time press the main force, at this time, we will let the bow spirit envoy attack, it should achieve greater results."

Worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, after hearing Shiloh's tactics and Princess Erifels's doubts, he immediately thought of a solution, and Viscount Wimbles said slowly, causing several people around him to bow slightly.

"Lord Wimble's method is indeed very informative......"

Princess Elifils said, glancing at Shiloh again.

"There's one more point besides that."
