The army crushed the city.

The Imperial Army continued to advance and had surrounded the City of War.

Instead of an ambush, the rebels chose the most conservative way of defending the city, and Coverdale was ready to rely on the City of War to engage in a tug-of-war with the Imperial Army, dragging on for half a year, and seeking an opportunity to fight back during this time.

The Imperial Army came from afar in the center.

In fact, they don't stay very long.

If you fail to take the war city within half a year, whether it is because of the long supply line or for the morale of the whole army, you have to make a decision to retreat.

Of course.

Once recuperated, the empire may make a comeback.

But as long as they can withstand the first wave of attacks, the rebels can get the next round of 'investment' from the West, get through this most difficult period, and use the time in the gap to try to grow.

Therefore, in Vega's opinion.

Defending a city is not the best strategy, but it can be a proven one.

With the whole city united, it is theoretically possible to resist the Imperial Army, but it is not without variables, and this variable is Foster Nolan.

In the absence of a solution.

Foster Nolan has often exploded with incredible potential to turn the tide of battle, and throughout Foster's military career, his ability to make a preemptive strike is definitely not comparable to that of Coverdale.

Deal with generals like Foster.

Vega thinks that Foster should be directly killed with a slap in the face, just like the sudden invasion of Kareni City by the Kingdom Army, without giving him the slightest possibility of turning the tables around.

But none of these Vega were spoken.

In the final analysis, he is only using the rebel army to contain the Imperial army, and being able to contain half a year is enough for Vega. Therefore, as long as Coverdale does not ask for his help, and the rebels can hold out for half a year, he will not interfere in the decision-making of the other side. Although the possibility is slim, Vega does not want to raise tigers.

So seven days later, Foster got his hands dirty.

First, the Imperial army carried out a tentative attack, which sent a total of 100,000 soldiers, an aviation unit, and finally the Empire left behind 1,000 corpses and marched away with the army.

"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!"

The soldiers on the towers watched the Imperial army retreat, shouting victory.

And Vega, who had just come out of the bomb shelter and saw this scene, couldn't help but shake his head.

Is it better to say that the rebels are more ignorant, or should it be better to say that the rebels are optimistic? The Imperial Army did leave 1,000 corpses in this battle, but the number of dead in the rebels was three times that of the Imperial Army.

It is important to know that the rebels are the defenders.

In a normal war, in addition to the bug-like existence of star mages and wurm soldiers, the price paid by the attacker is always 1.5 to 3 times that of the defender, but in the case of the rebels, it is the opposite.

The scariest thing is.

The rebels were not ashamed, but proud, believing that being able to repel the Imperial Army was a victory.

Even Coverdale himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He explained to Vega, "There is no way to do this, the Imperial army is well fed, and there is a complete aviation legion, and we can defeat them at only three times the cost, which is already a great victory." ”

“......”

Vega didn't say anything more, as he found a deep gap with Coverdale's combat mindset.

In his war thinking.

There are no absolute advantages, there are no absolute disadvantages, and each army has its own strengths and weaknesses.

For example, the advantages of the Imperial Army are very obvious, the large number and sufficient resources are the advantages of the Imperial Army, but this is destined to be slow to move because of the bloated army, and they are very dependent on resources, once the supply line is cut off is almost fatal.

As for the words of the rebels.

If you want to list the disadvantages and shortcomings, of course, there will be a large basket, such as the overall quality is low, the number is not large, the high-level armed forces are not comparable to the imperial army, and even there is only one standard aviation unit......

These are the points of defeat for the rebels.

But the rebels also have their own merits.

Speaking of which, the rebel army is a bit like Vega's own army, although it is inferior to the Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom in terms of quantity and quality, but it has a fierce combat style that is not afraid of death, and they can always be like a fish in water in urban warfare and defensive warfare with their backs to civilians.

Therefore, a general is excellent or not.

It depends on whether he can give full play to the advantages of the army under his account.

Coverdale played to some of the rebels' strengths, but in Vega's eyes, it wasn't enough.

This way of injuring 800 enemies and injuring 1000 self cannot be called a victory at all, but this is not his army after all, since the rebels think this is a big victory, then let's just call it a big victory.

"But ...... to talk about"

"How did this rebel army survive to be where it is today?"

On the way back, Vega muttered to himself.

It is not comparable to the Imperial Army in terms of quantity, nor is it comparable to the Imperial Army in terms of quality and resources, and the losses in each war are still three times that of the Imperial Army, so why has the rebel army not been destroyed by now?

On the second day, Vega came to a conclusion.

It turned out that yesterday just lost 3,000 people, and today another 6,000 people have signed up to join the army, and these soldiers who have joined the army have men, women, and children, not to mention that there is no need to pay military salaries, as long as they take care of a mouthful of food, and some people even bring their own dry food, and of course the rebels will not refuse to come.

"But I'm alone. ”

Vega was a little dumbfounded and said: "It turns out that this is the survival mode of the rebel army, they actually rely on pure numbers to use their lives to get to this day. No wonder they dared to play the slogan of opening up with the empire when they were at their peak, and their number should have exceeded three or four million at that time, right?"

"Your Majesty, what you said is indeed not wrong......

Hausman said with some headaches: "When the rebels were at their peak, I was still serving in the Empire, and when the people wanted it, they were like locusts, and the number of troops reached an extremely terrible number. But they don't have good generals, they don't have sophisticated equipment, they seem to me to be nothing more than a rabble. ”

"But it's such a rabble that has survived to this day, isn't it?"

Vega asked rhetorically: "Each force has its own way of survival, and since the rebels have their own way, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." I also happened to take this opportunity to study hard, the way of survival of other forces other than the empire, and every way to let the forces survive, must have their advantages. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Although Haussman pays lip service to Vega, it is still difficult to hide his disdain for the rebels.
