Section 1: Objectives (I

On the 7th day of June in the year 1439 (528 in the new calendar), an unfamiliar fleet arrived at the northern end of the Great Plain of Quelsa on the west coast. It was a medium-sized fleet, but it was made up entirely of small ships, the flagship being a three-masted cargo ship, and a few oddly shaped, slow-moving clumsy ships that were about to fall apart.

On all the ships, an unfamiliar red flag with a golden pattern of thorns and roses is flying - a day destined to go down in history because it is the day of the encounter between the new force called the "Thorn Rose" and the hinterland of the West Coast. That is, from this morning, the West Coast, entangled by nightmares and fate, has one more flag and one more force.

Taking advantage of the morning mist, the armed forces of the Thorn Rose poured out, and a team of nearly five hundred people landed at the Moon Bay Pier. With their feet on the land of the Great Plains of Quelsa, the soldiers did not show any strange emotion, or that it meant nothing to them.

The team did not stop, there was no ceremony, there was no speech, everyone was nervous and busy preparing, with a solemn face...... Because everyone knows that they will face a life-and-death battle next

The enemy of the Thorn Rose is an indigenous alliance of three large tribes, seven small tribes, and more than two dozen nomadic tribes. Despite being natives, they have assembled a standing army of over 2,500 men, supported by the mysterious Dawn Council, and have at least three Adepts or Flame Masters - the latter being a type of Anomala, but more powerful than the Apprentice.

Thorn Rose wants to gain a foothold, Townsend wants to live a personal life, this powerful enemy must be defeated but full of calculations, Townsend now has only five hundred weapons available, can he overthrow the other party as he wishes?

Frankly speaking, if the two sides set up a position for a decisive battle, Townsend will definitely have a hard time. And realistically, no contingent that has been tested in war can be the same, even if it is an indigenous armed force. In any case, they have just defeated and annexed the traditional powerhouses of the local area, and they are at the peak of their strength and morale.

Thorn Rose can't do it now, and if Townsend is arrogant, he will be beaten to slag by them

Before landing on the shore, the General Staff had already deduced a head-to-head confrontation under the guidance of Townsend. The officers who knew nothing about the deduction were actually observing and studying Townsend's deduction teaching, and Townsend raised various questions, including their own training and equipment, including the composition of the opponent's troops and actual combat effectiveness, and even the bonuses of the command system and the flexibility of strategic use, and finally came to the conclusion that was recognized by everyone -- their own side won a crushing victory, with more than half of the casualties

This is an unbearable price, as the only armed force of Thorn Rose, there is a world of difference between the combat effectiveness of five hundred and two hundred and fifty men. Even if we survive the first battle, who knows what the situation will be next? If we drill some of the Dawn Council's troops again, will we fight or not? If we do, I am afraid that these people will not be able to use even the simplest tactics, right? As a result, they will still be beaten to scum

This is certainly not the ending that Townsend is looking forward to, everyone has traveled all the way to the stars and the moon, but it is not to dig up the grave and cry people's noses.

Therefore, although there can be thousands of campaign plans and thousands of tactical arrangements, there is almost no choice left for Thorn Rose at this time, and in the battle of life and death, there is no need to consider the background of power and political factors - in short, Thorn Rose's tactics are only sneak attacks. Sneak Attack: From sneak attack to sneak attack, this tactic must be held throughout the war.

What is the concept of sneak attack warfare? Simply put, it is a black hand who hides and hides, and in layman's terms, it means that a person who dies is not worthy of his life.

Townsend loved this tactic, because a sneak attack meant fewer casualties, and it meant the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. In order to increase the effect of the latter, he personally led his staff officers to make a detailed plan for a sneak attack. Of course, this battle plan must have been insidious, ruthless, and vicious, and it also fully revealed Townsend's inner character, which was a paradoxical character.

This contradiction starts with Townsend's position, first of all, he is the founder and supreme leader of the Thorn Rose. In this strategic position, his performance is extremely calm and extremely ruthless. He could not predict the training of the Prophet's troops, he would not hesitate to wage war, and he even insisted on the most important strategic arrangements...... Finished, completely iron-blooded, completely unsympathetic.

But on a more detailed level, he is also the parent and elder brother of his brothers, especially in the army, almost every subordinate is personally selected and trained by him, so he has a deep affection for them, so he is reluctant to let anyone die, injure or disable...... Therefore, it is destined that Townsend will be fond of sneak attacks and dangerous tactics at the tactical level.

If you were someone else, you might have taken this feeling as a burden, but Townsend wouldn't, on the contrary, he was pleased with the results of the actual combat training along the way - nearly three thousand miles away, several battles, not a single one died in battle, and no one was disabled, and he wanted to maintain this situation in his heart. Of course, there will be sacrifices when you get involved in a war, and this is a fact that no one can change.

Townsend is trying not to let the blood of his brothers be shed in vain

After the troops landed, they were prepared lightly within half an hour. From top to bottom, each carried only three days' rations and the necessary combat equipment. Then, under the leadership of Wahu and others, the team desperately rushed to the first goal of this battle - the March tribe

+ Passion Wahu and the others are very familiar with the March tribe, just like they are familiar with their own tribe, and basically know everything.

Half a year ago, the March tribe had a population of more than 10,000. Because they are not good at fishing and herding, the Machi tribe lives on the edge of a hilly area three hundred and seventy miles from the coast. With the help of the Dawn Council, they cultivated fertile land in this fertile field, making their living mainly from cultivation and simple processing, and were in a leading position in all respects, even the settlements were inland.

For a long time, the March tribe was the second largest force in the local area after the Vahu tribe, and for more than ten years, they contacted other tribes to confront the Wahu tribe, during which there were numerous wars. So in terms of combat effectiveness, the March tribe can be called "powerful".

The March tribe has a strong mobile combat force - two resident anomalies of the Dawn Council, more than 700 elite tribal warriors, including about 100 native cavalry. And after winning the battle against the Wahu tribe, their forces will definitely expand.
