Chapter 532: Wolves

Poor sleep quality, or even insomnia, is bad enough.

And because of the need to guard against rockets that the devil knows when they will launch, many people not only can't sleep, but even have to tense their nerves to be on guard at all times.

Then, the next day, I am afraid that there will be a yawn, and many soldiers will stagger around.

And those mages who are keeping vigil in order to intercept rockets will definitely be tired enough to recover their spirits properly, and the spells they can use the next day will be reduced.

Vytautas knew the enemy's intentions, and many of the other officers could guess the same thing, but guessing didn't mean that they could immediately come up with a good countermeasure.

After launching the rocket, the launcher only needs a dozen seconds to pack up everything and ride away.

Near this was a forest, which was impassable for large troops, but a few men could come and go as they pleased, and the Beran army had no time to chase him.

If the patrol area is expanded, more people will have to be sent to patrol, and these patrols will accumulate a lot of fatigue.

"Abominable ......"

Just as he was gritting his teeth, he heard the herald shouting everywhere.

"The general has an order, the whole county retreats two miles back and camps!"

"Hey, that's the only way to do it...... Vytautas cursed hatefully, and went to organize his men to retreat.

If you go back two miles, you can get away from the forest and come to a plain, where anyone who wants to launch a rocket will be quickly spotted.

Moreover, a retreat of two miles would also better prevent a surprise attack by the coalition forces - many in the Beran army speculated that after receiving the support of the new army, the coalition forces might come to raid the camp in the middle of the night.

After all, due to the attack of rockets, the Beran army is now very tired, and if the enemy comes in the middle of the night, it is very likely that it will blow up and be in chaos.

Although there is another method available to the Belan army, that is, regardless of the rocket attack, directly launch a night attack on your own side to kill the past, but this is too risky, and if it is not successful, it will cause huge losses.

Obviously, if you wait until the next day, you can win a normal battle, so why take this risk - the more expensive the party, the less you want to gamble, this is human nature.

Although the Belan Army actually shoulders an important strategic goal that requires soldiers to achieve quickly, and the leaders of all walks of life in the army also understand this to some extent, it is still the same sentence: who will pay, who will pick the fruit?

If you are too aggressive, the soldier will definitely suffer more damage. And whoever first proposes to be radical and fast, then he will inevitably be pushed to the front by other people who do not want to pay to be the vanguard and gnaw hard bones.

It's just a matter of gnawing hard bones, if there are enough rewards to make up for the losses, there are still military leaders who are willing to do it, but even if they really get so many rewards, it will be difficult to keep them if their troops are insufficient.

In addition, if there are not enough troops, it is difficult to grab enough spoils of war -- how much can the army reward be? In fact, the biggest income is to grab the spoils after winning a battle.

If it is a good fight and the big bully the small, this system can fully boost morale, so that the military leaders and soldiers will follow one after another, scrambling to compete for the spoils of war.

But now, although the coalition army is not strong, it is by no means weak, and it can actually hold out for a whole day of defensive battles, so that the Belan army has also lost 1,500 men.

In this case, the military leaders will hesitate, even if they know that such hesitation will give the other party more time, but no one is willing to force themselves to go up and lose their own troops, and then all the benefits obtained will benefit others.

When Luo Ming established the military system back then, although he did not personally lead many soldiers, Aya and others provided him with experience and reference, so that he set such a system:

In addition to a few small pieces, a few coins Luo Ming can also turn a blind eye, and secretly hide the loot, as long as it is discovered, it will be severely punished.

Those who cowered on the battlefield were also punished severely, and the most severe could be killed on the spot.

But as long as the battle is won, the spoils will be pooled and distributed uniformly - except for the soldiers who hide the loot and the soldiers who cower, the rest of the soldiers can get their own share.

In this way, perhaps the trophy will have less of an inspiring effect on the soldiers, but Luo Ming's army did not rely on individual courage, but on collective discipline to win - besides, Luo Ming improved the status of the soldiers, did ideological work hard, and the soldiers were also highly paid, and had the reputation of being invincible, which already made the soldiers not lack personal courage.

Moreover, in order to prevent the military leaders from controlling the soldiers and preserving their strength, Luo Ming has other institutional constraints, which will not be elaborated one by one.

At this moment, the contradiction of the Belan army was revealed for a moment, although it was suppressed and hidden again by the decisive decision of the commander, it did not mean that it would really disappear.

I'm afraid that there will be other troubles in the future because of this...... Vytautas sighed.

But at the same time, it also strengthened his determination to make contributions - in this mode of wolf cooperation, only when the head wolf is extremely strong, can he suppress the wolves, so that they must not pass the buck to each other to preserve their strength, and one by one they rush forward to shed blood and sacrifice.

Of course, if it is just a simple suppression, it will not last, and the anger of the wolves will eventually overturn the head wolf.

If we want this system to be maintained, to suppress contradictions forever, and to be strong forever, then the head wolf, who is the strongest, needs to keep its promises, distribute it fairly, reward it generously, and punish it severely.

As long as the reputable leader guarantees that he will give corresponding compensation and benefits, then the military leaders below are naturally willing to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers in exchange for adequate compensation.

Of course, generally speaking, the head wolf can't allocate so many resources, and the wolves at the bottom will divide up all the spoils early, so the head wolf itself needs to become strong enough to make the wolves dare not disobey it and dare not compete with it.

Vytautas's ideal is to one day become such a wolf.

"Your Excellency Viscount Schönbrunn Luo Ming...... I'm getting more and more curious about you, and at the same time, I'm getting more and more unable to resist the desire to make your head my wine glass. ”

Vytautas was born into an ancient family, and before this family fully entered the order of civilized society, there was a legend that circulated like this:

The great ancestors made the heads of their resourceful enemies into drinking vessels, mixed their brains with spirits, and drank them together, thus sharing the wisdom of the other and creating greater deeds.

Artillery, rockets, spear charges, and the secret of unleashing the power of a great swordsman as a swordsman...... Just like the legend, he has to use all means to obtain Luo Ming's secret, which must be the glorious road to the first wolf!
