After more than a week of making up for it, Mick was finally able to keep up with everyone's rhythm in terms of theory, and when he was able to understand the theories that seemed boring, but in fact shimmered with countless wisdom, he was immediately deeply fascinated.

Mick's greatest strength is that he is not confined to authority, and is good at putting forward his own opinions and thinking, and then confirming them one by one. This often allows him to find new ways to see details that ordinary people can't see, so that he can get a bigger harvest.

Adam, the instructor who taught the use of cavalry, was a strong fanatic of cavalry theory, and although he was over forty years old, whenever he talked about cavalry, he showed the excitement and impulsiveness of a young man.

Once, when talking about the basic tactics of cavalry, Adam spoke passionately, couldn't hold his mouth for a while, and expressed his feelings: "Cavalry is the most powerful military branch in the world, and they can independently give the enemy a devastating blow without relying on the cover of the battle mage regiment.

War horse light cavalry is good at long-distance running, thunder lizard heavy cavalry can instantly break through the strong city wall, demon wolf cavalry is the overlord of mountain warfare, velociraptor cavalry is fast as lightning, earth dragoons are enough to fight against ancient giants, if you can have a dragon knight army of more than ten people, then you can challenge the gods!

The diversity and power of cavalry is enough to ensure that any battle is won, no matter what time or place.

I can responsibly assure you that even the most powerful infantry will have to lose their armor when it comes to the cavalry.

So, children, we should wake up the idiots in the military department as soon as possible and tell them to stop wasting their limited military spending on infantry, a branch of the army that should have been banned a long time ago!"

Adam's explanation revealed a completely different battlefield for Mick, who originally thought that war was nothing more than a large-scale group of slashers with large kitchen knives, but he did not expect that there would be such a wide variety of cavalry services and tactics.

Of course, such an extreme theory as cavalry theory does not have the slightest market in infantry command classes.

Professor Fisher, who teaches infantry command, has repeatedly emphasized in his courses: "Cavalry is indeed a powerful branch of the army, but the main body of war in this world is still infantry!"

Not to mention that most of the battle mage regiments that play a decisive role on the battlefield do not have mounts (the noble mages ride in cars), just the high cost of cavalry is not something that ordinary countries can afford.

The cost of equipping an ordinary cavalry is enough to feed three or four infantrymen, and the more expensive mounts like the Thunder Lizard and the Earth Walking Dragon, the equipment and training costs of a cavalryman can even catch up with an infantry squad.

If you have ten dragon knights, then sorry, they cost more than the entire financial income of a medium-sized country in a year, after all, there is no creature in this world who is more obsessed with money than dragons...... Belch...... Except for magical alchemists.

Moreover, the cavalry could not fight in the streets, could not defend the city, and could not expect the delicate cavalry to stand guard day and night, and once the logistics and supplies were not smooth, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry would be greatly reduced.

So, children, only the infantry is the key to victory in a war, and to hell with the cavalry!"

At the mention of money, Mick immediately sensed the deep malice of the cavalry, and at the same time scoffed at the cavalry theory of Adam's mentor.

In his opinion, fighting a war is nothing more than money and women, and with so much money to build a large and expensive cavalry corps, what woman can't buy it?

The importance of cavalry and infantry has been the subject of debate among countless military experts, and for a long time, no matter how heated the debate, the topic has never reached a convincing conclusion.

As far as commanders are concerned, Instructor Hans of the Introduction to War course made a relatively objective assessment of this issue from a strategic perspective: "Cavalry and infantry have their own advantages and limitations, and an excellent commander should judge the situation, make full use of the resources in his hands, and try by all means to win the war, instead of dividing the superiority of the two arms in his tongue." ”

To support his point, Mentor Hans also gave an example, that of the Battle of Longchang, commanded by the god of war, Dragon de Stadt.

At the beginning of the Ottoman Empire, there was a famous battle with the Dermanian Empire, when the Frankish Empire was still in the powerful Plantagenet Dynasty, which formed an absolute suppression of the Ottomans, and if the empire was defeated, it would face the sinister fate of annihilation.

In the case of absolute inferiority, the military god Longdstead adopted the strategy of separate attacks and combined attacks, first completely scattered the corps, took advantage of the high mobility of a small group of cavalry, constantly harassed the enemy, and waited until the enemy's main force was exhausted to cope, and then gathered the infantry to engage in a head-on decisive battle with the enemy.

In the decisive battle, Rundstead unexpectedly used infantry to deal with the powerful cavalry corps of the Franks, and after paying a huge price and withstanding the first round of the opponent's impact, the Imperial Cavalry Regiment successfully went around the enemy and launched a charge, defeating the main force of the Franks in one fell swoop, destroying nearly 200,000 enemies in a battle, and thus establishing the status of one of the four major human empires of the Ottomans.

This is a classic case of infantry and cavalry working together, and it strongly supports the point of the mentor Hans.

However, when Hans's mentor gave this classic example, Elisabeth expressed a different opinion.

As one of the six great families, the genius of the Ludwig family, Elizabeth showed an unparalleled talent for war theory, and she was often able to put forward different opinions on various classical theories or cases, and her views were clear and well-argued, and she often refuted several tutors and professors speechless.

In the case of the Battle of Longchang, Elizabeth believed: "Rundstead's tactics were too radical, and under the circumstances, the empire had already taken the strategic initiative, and he could have allowed the cavalry to continue to harass, and after the enemy was completely dragged down, the infantry would sweep the tail, so that the Imperial infantry corps would not pay a heavy price of nearly 40,000 men under the first round of the assault of the Frank Imperial cavalry corps." ”

In the past, when Elizabeth spoke, several other classmates did not interject, but it was difficult to understand, and Bruno and Daniel's limited rebuttals were only exchanged for her idiot looks.

But this time, Mick, who was gradually getting started with the theory of war, heard a little wrong, and he hesitated to speak: "I don't think Lord Rundstead may not know that such a method of warfare will bring high battle losses, and he should see more than just the gains and losses of one city and one place in the Battle of Longchang.

You must know that the strategy of the empire at that time was not to go west and annex Drake, but to open up the sea to the east. If the battle with Drake on the Western Front is protracted, then the Empire will not be able to launch the Eastern Front campaign in the autumn of the following year, and it will not be possible to take advantage of the excellent opportunity of the fifteen civil strife on the Eastern Front to wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop and complete the Empire's century-old plan. ”

After Mick finished speaking, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful look, and after a long time, she finally sat down slowly, rarely did not refute, but looked at Mick deeply, with a hint of strange look in her eyes.

This was the first time that the cold Elizabeth had looked at someone, and Daniel and Bruno couldn't help but whistle in victory, and Mick's heart was inexplicably excited.

Although it was just a glance of encouragement, the look came from a genius girl who was above the top, which made Mick, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, immediately feel refreshed physically and mentally, as if he had a hearty battle with a beautiful woman.

Progress always makes people hopeful for the future, and in the midst of little progress, Mick is more and more interested in war command, and more and more full of expectations. In the face of the Empire's powerful war machine, he gradually understood that perhaps only the art of war was the key to his ability to pry the balance of power in Maltisse.
