Chapter Seventy-Two: Reflection

"Everyone makes mistakes, but only fools cling"

- Cicero

Under the light, the nib occasionally stagnates on the rough sheepskin, and I have to say that the hard quill pen is really not comfortable in writing, and even if you have been in this world for so long, it is difficult for people to get used to it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After habitually grabbing the air with his left hand, Leo scratched his head with a wry smile, he used to develop the habit of writing and smoking when he was working on Earth, although he was forced to change it here, but it was still easy to forget it inadvertently.

I have to sigh that the environment can really change everything, and the smoking addiction that I spent countless methods and money before and couldn't quit for more than ten years has completely changed in a short time after coming here.

Moved his sore cervical spine slightly, leaned on the back of the chair and reached out to take the black tea sent by the butler of the Duke's Mansion not long ago, and drank a sip of slightly hot tea with his eyes closed, Leo couldn't help but let out a very comfortable moan, threw down the pen in his hand, and kept recalling the gains and losses of these days in his mind......

******************************

Obviously, Leo knows that he was on the earth in his previous life, he is the most ordinary kind of hundreds of millions of ordinary people, he has no hobbies, except for being busy with work at work, and there is no entertainment in the narrow circle of friends after work, most of them are at home to watch some novels and movies or play games, and the life after marriage is not bad, and it is the same as countless families, wives and children, oil, salt, rice vinegar......

I don't know how the owner of the system chose someone like himself to carry out this crossing, in Leo's opinion, it is much better than himself to come from a military forum or find some people to talk on paper, at least people can talk about it on paper.

And yourself? Smiled wryly and shook his head, if you played Red Alert and played 7 computers back then, you still have some experience!

Reaching out and shaking the rattle on the table, he motioned to the butler who walked in quietly to change a cup of hot tea for himself, Leo picked up the pen again, remembering the situation of the previous war, and even felt that he had made so many mistakes that he didn't know where to write!

From the very beginning, the preparation for war was not perfect, probably after the first field victory against the Duke of Orlando, let the vanity get carried away, thinking that in the Middle Ages, an era when there was no strategy of war, with the two knights of punishment and dawn, they could be as peaceful as in the game, not to mention that there were thousands of soldiers who could be turned into elite soldiers in this era.

Perhaps in the game, such a balance of strength would make victory extremely easy, but the cruelty of reality dealt a heavy blow to himself.

The first is that the logistics are not fully prepared, although their own army does not need too much baggage, and in terms of food, it can be replenished by the system with items materialized from the game, but it does not take into account the loss of ordinary army materials in this era.

As a result, after meeting with Leicester and Tron's army, it was found that not only did the armor of the Swan Knights need a lot of livestock and manpower to transport in peacetime, but even the additional arrows took up a lot of carriages.

Even at this time, he didn't realize this, Stormwings only carried 2 bags of 100 crossbows with each person, and the champion swordsman and highland swordsman didn't have spare armor and weapons, but fortunately, after the siege stalled, the Dawning Knight opened the stalemate without letting the problem come to light.

Looking around at the people around them, the three captains of Finn, Anthony and Keith were embodied from the system, and their previous habits made it difficult for them to think about these, and the system could automatically replenish the equipment of the two knights when they were damaged.

And Lester and Tron, after witnessing their own miracles several times, naturally can't remember to remind them of this, probably they will think that they have the same means for the army recruited in this world.

In addition, he knew in advance that the enemy army would resist defending the city, and he knew that it would be a difficult siege battle, but he did not prepare any siege equipment, not to mention that he did not dismantle some of the upgraded catapults and giant crossbows of Stormwind City in advance, and even the ladder was made by temporarily cutting down trees after the siege.

As a result, it also paid the price of the life of a knight of punishment, and how can only 100 knights withstand the loss after a few mistakes?

If it weren't for the harassment of Ardarian and the thought of the humble rush behind, I am afraid that after the Duke of Orlando let the commoners go to the city wall as a meat shield, he would really have to be forced to order a massacre, which would cause a series of evil consequences that were not conducive to the rule.

"Logistics !!" Leo wrote these two words neatly on the parchment, emphasizing a few exclamation marks.

********************************

The good soundproofing of the room made it difficult for the outside sound to disturb the people in the study, standing up, Leo stepped on the thick carpet and slowly walked to the window, the plausible satellite in the dark night sky made him a little trance for a while, and an illusion that he was still on the earth poured into his mind.

Rubbing his parched eyes, Leo thought about another problem that needed to be solved urgently, that is, when he encountered a difficult situation, he did not have a wise mind by his side who could solve problems.

The four knights, including the haughty Noldor Elves, are undeniably brave warriors and qualified generals, who are unable to help in other matters such as strategy, politics, or even negotiations.

Although Lester, who can be trusted the most after coming to this world, is a nobleman, but the decline of the Swan family has long been far away from the core noble circle in his generation, except for the help that the Northern Territory can provide is almost zero, and Lester may be brave and benevolent, but he has nothing to do with intelligence......

As for Tron, the butler Calin Sr., he was not even as good as Leicester in terms of flexibility.

As a result, in order to subdue these northern nobles, he racked his brains.

Biting his nails with a headache, Leo, who couldn't think about it for a while, went back to his desk, wrote down the two words of the staff, then typed a few question marks, thought about it, and wrote the names of Sebastian and Barr in small print below.

One person seems to be very knowledgeable at present, and the other family has a certain amount of power in the imperial capital, but at present, loyalty is a big problem, and Leo thinks that he is not the person who is very skilled in the means of the emperor, and can only give priority to loyalty in terms of loyalty and ability.

After chewing a few sips of the residue precipitated at the bottom of the cup, Leo's mind was a little better, and he thought of the various trainings and lectures he had experienced on Earth before, and wrote the word "plan" on the paper.

Thinking of the scene when his head was hot and he decided to go on the expedition before, Leo couldn't help but feel a little happy and afraid, yes, it is undeniable that his several speeches or agitations in front of these soldiers in this world have played an extremely important role, making the soldiers of Stormwind City far exceed the average of this era by several times in terms of combat and discipline.

These are also reflected on the battlefield, whether it is the first field battle to win time without retreating in the absolute disadvantage, or the siege of the city without fear of death, and the crushing situation under the leadership of the Knights of Punishment after the city is broken.

But after experiencing this, Leo also understands that maybe blood can decide the outcome of one or even several wars, but it will never allow himself to be the ultimate victor to the end.

This must not happen again, as in the case of street gangsters, or organized street gangsters, and as a commander, Leo must be responsible for the lives of his knights and soldiers.

Regardless of the feasibility, a relatively complete overall plan must be drawn up beforehand, which can be temporarily changed according to the actual situation, but it cannot be relied on just on-the-spot performance, otherwise it will be a disaster for the Stormwind army, which will grow in size......

Yawned heavily, put down the pen and rubbed his somewhat sore wrist, Leo knew that he couldn't think of anything for the time being, so he put away the notebook that only he could view, and beckoned the butler to let the servant clean up the study, and the fatigue of the day plus the drinking of the previous banquet made him put down his mind and just want to throw himself into the soft velvet bed.

"Maybe I made a lot of mistakes, but fortunately, there is a system that gives me the opportunity to correct and reflect, so let me learn how to become a good leader from an ordinary person!" Leo, who was guided to the bedroom by the servant, was secretly cheering in his heart.
