Chapter 197: Change and Doubt

After four months, in November of the first year of the emirate, the black wolf finally finished the work left over from the last war, a new round of conscription has been completed, all the army has been restored to full strength, in addition, the number of the emirate army has increased from 25,000 to 30,000, the new 5,000 people are the previously planned reserves, they will fill the battlefield when there is a loss of troops on the front line.

While busy dealing with the internal affairs of the territory, the black wolf also did not forget to investigate the origin of the enemy, and the opposite side sent a team of 50 people in the last battle, the number is not small, and the whereabouts left behind are very obvious, even ordinary goblins, can follow the enemy's traces.

The Black Wolf sent a ten-man reconnaissance team, and the goblins traveled lightly, following the traces left by the enemy, and after dodging the enemy patrol, they continued on their way, and finally found the exact location of the enemy.

According to the scout's description, the enemy's position was directly north of them, surrounded by gray fog, and the enemy's defense troops patrolled around the gray fog over and over again, and the scouts were almost discovered by these guys, and finally hid in the gap with the small size of the goblin, which was able to avoid the enemy's sight.

The goblins judged that the risk was too high if they continued to explore, and they did not dare to enter the gray mist, God knows what was terrifying there.

According to the experience of the last battle, the black wolf and the white wolf agreed that with the strength of the current emirate, if you want to destroy the opponent, you must pay an extremely high price, in the last battle, the emirate and the enemy army battle loss ratio is 6 to 1, that is, if you want to destroy the enemy, you must invest at least 6 times their number of soldiers, and in order to just in case, you must also put more people into the battle, only in this way, can you surround the enemy, and then annihilate it.

In the last battle, the emirate invested 2,034 troops, and with so many people, the black wolf successfully completed the encirclement of the enemy's 50-man squad, so that the conversion of the last battle was actually 40 to 1.

However, the comparison of the combat power of the two sides has not reached such a huge disparity, in the troops responsible for the encirclement, in fact, a considerable number of people only act as a "strategic existence", and do not enter the battle at all, after discussing with the white wolf, the black wolf has reduced the required strength by half, that is, 20 to 1, which is the result obtained under the sound calculation.

However, this is not the end of the story, a Goblin Soldier needs at least 3 to 4 logisticians to supply them, and if they do not have sufficient supplies, their combat ability will be much reduced.

The Black Wolf didn't know if the kind of army that lived in the gray fog also needed to be resupplied by others, and in the worst-case scenario, it could be assumed that the other side was an army driven by some mysterious force and did not need to make any resupply.

If calculated according to this situation, in a battle, the white wolf's side needs to invest at least 90 times the enemy's personnel in order to gain an advantage in the battle with the enemy, but if the opponent's army has many porcupine spearmen, resulting in the destruction of the sword and shield soldiers' line, the victory or defeat will become unknown, and even the probability of defeat on the white wolf's side will be higher.

A well-known military expert once said that "we should first be invincible and then wait for the enemy to be victorious." We should formulate our strategy according to such a criterion, and we absolutely must not make a desperate bet in a vain attempt to accomplish a single battle. "The white wolf introduced the art of war to the black wolf in his previous strategic analysis.

"What you said... Seems to make some sense... Can you tell me more?" The black wolf listened to what the white wolf said, and fell into deep thought, she had never been exposed to such a war discourse full of strategy, and besides, the sentence that the white wolf told her was incomplete, and it was indeed a little inconvenient to understand.

Since the black wolf is interested in learning more about the ancient Chinese theory of war, the white wolf is naturally willing to talk to her, from the perspective of interests, the deeper the black wolf's military attainments, the more beneficial it is to the emirate and the white wolf himself.

In fact, in the original text, Sun Tzu said: "Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible when the enemy is victorious." You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore he who fights well can be invincible, and he who cannot make the enemy invincible. Therefore, it is said: victory can be known, but not done. ”

It means that a person who is good at fighting with his troops always creates his own invincible conditions first and waits for an opportunity to defeat the enemy. We will not be defeated, and we will have the initiative in the war, and we will try to defeat the enemy only when they give us an opportunity. Therefore, a man who is good at fighting can only keep himself from being defeated, but not the enemy. Therefore, victory can be predicted, but it cannot be forced.

"Is this guy called Sun Tzu so powerful! Is he also a wolf?" asked the black wolf very excitedly after listening to the white wolf's explanation, and little stars appeared in his eyes, obviously fascinated by this ancient outstanding military strategist.

The white wolf had only heard the news that foreigners were obsessed with Sun Tzu's Art of War in the past, but he never thought that he would be able to develop a fan sister for Sun Wu's predecessors in another world.

"It seems that the charm of wisdom is really endless... Even if you travel through time and space, it can still be effective. The white wolf couldn't help but think

"Congratulations, the answer is wrong, Sun Tzu is not a wolf, but a human. The white wolf replied bluntly, except for the fact that Sun Tzu was a human from another world, there was nothing else to hide.

"Oh... Is it a human...?" After listening to the introduction of the white wolf, the black wolf's excitement just now suddenly weakened a lot, looked down at the ground, and began to think about it.

"I'm sorry for piercing your imagination. The white wolf replied in an apologetic tone.

"Well, you don't need to apologize, in fact, although I hate humans, I have always admired their wisdom. ”

"You admire human beings? The white wolf was surprised.

"I've never denied that, and if it weren't for the fact that humans are so smart, how would they have the right to kill my whole family? Our entire wolf family is at the apex of that area, and we have always been the only one to hunt others, until the day humans appeared, and finally someone began to hunt us. Saying this, the black wolf couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Actually, I've long figured it out that it's a matter of course for humans to kill my whole family, just like what we're doing now, when we encounter a threat, we should rule it out, in this matter, there is actually nothing good or evil. The black wolf continued, his tone filled with deep sadness.

"Are you going to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?" asked the white wolf, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise, if the black wolf's attitude towards humans changed, then his strategy towards humans would need to be corrected accordingly.

The reason why the black wolf's attitude is so important is because she has a combat power beyond the norm, although now because of the separation from the black power, she has temporarily lost her strength, but in fact, as long as she wants, the black wolf can combine with the black power again at any time, and at that time, even if the white wolf's entire territory is combined, it will not be her opponent.

Even the unknown force in the gray mist, for her who has regained her strength, is probably a matter of slapping to death with a claw.

"I'm not sure either... Maybe you should find a human and put it in front of me to test, if I don't want to kill him, then I see it. The black wolf said helplessly.

"If you kill him, the revenge will continue?" asked the White Wolf.

"Hmm... That's what I mean. ”

"This... Let's wait until we have a chance to meet humans, but it's better to solve the gray fog in front of us first, and then think about other things. The white wolf chose to bring the topic back on track, humans are still far away from them, and there is no chance to contact them on their side for the time being.

"At the end of the day, it's because we don't know much about the Grey Mist invaders. So far, we haven't figured out what this gray fog is. The black wolf made a summary, she was telling the truth, since the gray fog suddenly appeared in the territory of the snake people, the number of times it appeared in their field of vision has become more, at present, the white wolf and the others only know that these gray fog has a stimulating effect on the human spirit, and will make people become violent, which is the result of the white wolf and the black wolf's personal experience.

"But then again, is the gray mist we encountered in the snake people the same thing as the gray mist that the goblins saw that lingered on the enemy? The two of us haven't seen the gray mist on the enemy's body with our own eyes, and we haven't entered it to feel it, so how can we be sure that our judgment is correct?"

"Oh, I've already considered this before, and when selecting the scouts this time, I deliberately selected a few goblins from the last battle of Snake Village, and after seeing the gray fog located in the underground world, they reported to me that the gray fog in the underground gave them exactly the same feeling as the snake village, so they can be considered the same thing for the time being. The black wolf replied.

"So...? So the question is, how did the goblins and the porcupine get together with the gray mist? After getting the black wolf's answer, the white wolf finally asked the question he had been trying to ask.

"God knows how they got together, maybe it happened that someone summoned a demon underground, and then the gray mist that came out of that side eroded some goblins and porcupine people, giving them almost invincible bodies?"

"Speculation... This is all speculation, and we must investigate further..."The white wolf sighed helplessly. Read the latest chapter of "White Wolf Paw Book House in Another World" for free for the first time.
