093: A different tactic.
The battle lasted less than a minute before it ended when Fario gave up his resistance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Completing the inheritance order of a 30,000-scale legion in 10 seconds is already the limit of Fario, although the speed has increased by two seconds as the number of legions decreases, it is obviously not at the same level as Kane's efficiency of less than five seconds.
Under his methodical command, the entire battle turned into a ruthless strangulation, with Fario trying to break out and reinvigorate, but the formation was often torn apart by Kane before it could be listed.
After watching the hoplites hoarded at the front be killed by Kane's pikemen and archers, Fario gave up on resisting completely.
It was only then that the indifference on Kane's face disappeared, and a smile crept up again.
He was about to say something and pretend to be forced, but as soon as he raised his head, he found that the people in front of him were all looking at him, and in addition to surprise, there seemed to be a sense of horror in their eyes!
What's going on?
It stands to reason that the people present are all battle-tested veterans, and although their performance is as they expected, it is not so exaggerated, right?
A dry voice suddenly broke the silence and gave Kane an answer.
A second lieutenant suddenly stepped forward, and by the pattern on his uniform, Kane recognized him as an officer left over from the previous hoplite regiment.
At this time, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little red: "The crossroads of Fengshan Mountain... And also... There is also such a way of playing?!!!"
The faces of many generals have changed greatly!
Yes!
Kane's tactics are completely different from those of the Imperial Lion, but in the end, he also achieves the strategic goal of annihilating the enemy!
In the battle at the crossroads of Fengshan, the hoplites have always been an indelible scar in everyone's hearts.
Everyone knew that this glorious victory was based on the great sacrifice of the hoplites.
No one would have said anything until then, after all, if it weren't for their sacrifices, the battle would have cost even more and more of their compatriots would have died.
For these compatriots and comrades-in-arms to survive, they feel worthwhile, this is their pride!
But now?
If Kane's approach can achieve the same result, is there still any point in their sacrifice?
Carlos's brow furrowed, he had no idea that things would come to this point.
Although he knew the outcome of this deduction since he found out that Kane was pretending, he didn't expect Kane to actually achieve such a result!
Victory in a battle and total annihilation are two different concepts.
In a large-scale battle such as the Fengshan Crossing, when the war is in the heat of the day, a side will lose more than 30 or 40 percent of its troops, and it will turn into a rout, and victory will be achieved.
And it is not an easy task to completely annihilate the enemy army, especially when the forces are equal, it is almost impossible to do.
Marquis Lacey was able to do it, because he was the Lion of the Empire, the seventh most famous general in the Empire, and with the help of the Stormwind Legion, and more importantly, at the expense of almost the entire hoplite regiment.
Originally, the entire Bradit Military Region was secretive about this matter, and Carlos even deliberately canceled the grand celebration before, all to take care of their emotions.
Now that Kane has made such a play, if the matter gets out tomorrow, you can imagine what kind of waves will be set off in the Bradit City Military District.
Carlos pondered tightly, should something be done to suppress this?
But can it be suppressed?
There were hundreds of guests here today, and a large number of them were not under his command, and if not handled properly, they would be infamous.
Just as Carlos was in a dilemma, a calm voice suddenly sounded.
"How much did you lose in battle?"
Marquis Lacey didn't know when he walked into the venue, still with two sword-pressing knights in uniform behind him.
The crowd hurriedly parted ways, he walked straight to Kane, glanced at the sand table on the table, and returned his gaze to Kane.
At this time, Kane also realized that he was in trouble, and he didn't know what to do, and when he heard Marquis Reis's inquiry, he hurriedly counted it, and then reported: "50... 50%, about 15,000 casualties..."
Hearing this, the guests in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the ensign's fluctuating mood also stabilized again.
The casualties of about 15,000 were exactly twice as large as the tactics of the Marquis of Reis, which shows that the sacrifice paid by the hoplite regiment was not meaningless!
Kane also breathed a long sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
This is just a sand table simulation, and the opponent is not a powerful orc, but an arrogant officer like Fario, who also takes advantage of the other party's contempt.
If it is a field war, I am afraid that his losses will be even greater.
Is this the gap between himself and the first-class commanders?
Marquis Reis gave Kane one last look and said lightly: "There is no victory without sacrifice." ”
There is no victory without sacrifice?
Kane was stunned for a moment, his eyes focused on the departing back of the Marquis of Lacey, and a puzzle suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Is it really the only way to be?
At this time, a question suddenly occurred to him.
Although his opponent is not an orc, in the same way, Fario's enemy is not the Marquis of Reis, who has commanded countless battles throughout his life!
In Kane's previous deduction, most of the battle losses were caused during the final encirclement and suppression, which was due to his lack of experience, lack of troop matching, and overall dispatch and command.
But what if it was replaced by the Marquis de Reis?
Marquis Ress's skills are definitely more than one level higher than Kane's command in terms of dispatching and commanding, and the last time he was on the battlefield, he also witnessed Marquis Reis's meticulous control over every position on the entire battlefield.
If the final encirclement and suppression were to be carried out by him, would the battle loss ratio still exceed 50%?
Kane carefully analyzed and compared, and suddenly found that no matter how he calculated, the probability of falling below this number was greater!
He didn't say this to anyone, but a question lingered in his heart for a long time.
Did the Marquis of Reis not adopt his own method of warfare because he did not find out?
The answer seems to be the only possibility, but it doesn't make sense.
The Circular Cross Strangulation Array is a classic battle formation of the Yves Saint Laurent Empire, which is still creating brilliant results on the battlefield from time to time, and is the foundation that every Imperial Commander must master!
Could the majestic Imperial Lion not even be able to form such a basic battle formation?
So, if he knew such a tactic, what was the reason for not adopting it?
"Wow!"
"Well... It's beautiful!"
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.
At the door, Zax, who was dressed in a white general-level military uniform, walked in with his head held high and his face trembled, and Shino, who had met last time next to him, held her arm helplessly.
At this time, she wore a close-fitting evening dress in blue, and her delicate figure was concave and convex under the wrap of the tight skirt.
The skirt is embellished with fine pieces of crystal, reflecting the light in the light.
Under the moisture of the special vindictiveness, there is not the slightest wrinkle on the white and delicate skin, no one believes that this is a woman who is nearly forty years old, no less than Luo Yan and Yi Xue's appearance, but it has completely faded away, and the remaining maturity and charm are matched with this outfit, and the whole body naturally overflows with an inviolable noble and elegant temperament, which makes people laugh and can't help but think of a noun-
Queen!
