Chapter 129: Wargame Deduction
After returning from his previous life, Chino slept deeply.
The next day, during the day, Lugo came to the door and said that he wanted to have a war game with Chino.
Wargaming is a very popular game in Dogurand, played by everyone from the king to the commoners.
This set of wargames in the executive residence is a professional customized version, which is much more detailed than the civilian game, including various terrain scenes such as cities, deserts, jungles, plains, etc., and the design and rules of engagement of combat units also simulate real wars, which can be directly used in desktop military exercises.
Lugo was reading the book "Military Theory and Practice" instructed by Chino recently, with a total of more than 1,200 pages, and he read more than 20 pages, feeling that he was already terrible, and wanted to show off in front of Chino.
Chino, of course, didn't refuse.
The two chose the terrain of the battlefield and faced off on the scale of a single legion - half of the strength of the Doglander Legion was about 6,000 to 8,000 men.
For the sake of balance, there were no transcendents on both sides by default, and the number of infantry archers was the same, 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000.
I have to say that although Lugo is a rogue mercenary, he is very self-motivated, and he reads that book very seriously.
No, the frontal infantry maintained the line, the archers suppressed from a distance, and the cavalry detoured through the flanks and flanked themβhe already knew how to play the most basic tactics - at least on the chessboard.
Pushing and pushing, Lugo laughed heartily: "It seems that our administrator will not fight, why don't you protect the archers in the middle, and actually put them on the flanks for fire suppression?" See how my cavalry can crush you! β
As soon as Lugo transferred the cavalry to the flank and charged, Chino smiled lightly: "Well, you should study hard again, and use the cavalry to storm the pike phalanx, this is a suicidal act." β
Lugo looked confused and looked at the soldier: "What do you mean?" Aren't you an array of archers? β
Chino spread out the strategy card in his hand and showed it to Lugo.
There are two kinds of strategy cards for wargame deduction, one is the "pre-war strategy card", which cannot be moved after the strategy is written, representing the marching formation before the expedition.
The other is the "Wartime Strategy Card", which allows commanders to adjust their tactics at any time according to the real-time battle situation.
Chino was handing over a pre-battle strategy card, which clearly stated that the array of archers on the flanks was all disguised by infantry.
These infantry held bows and arrows on the surface, suppressed the enemy's fire, and in fact, the spears were hidden in the grass at their feet, and once they encountered the impact of cavalry, they could switch weapons in a short time to form a phalanx of spears.
And the real main bow and arrow array, hidden in the woods on the slopes of the mountains behind.
Before Lugo could react, the outflanked cavalry on both sides had been stabbed with spears and could not take care of themselves, and they were also hit by the fire of the archers on the hillside, and they were all wiped out before they could retreat.
As soon as the cavalry was wiped out, Lugo's legion was seriously reduced in mobility, and it was difficult to make a change of formation, so he could only be beaten in place like a turtle.
Chino then mobilized the cavalry and packed Lugo's flanks to complete the encirclement and annihilation.
According to the data, Lugo's 8,000 men were wiped out, and Chino only lost more than 1,800 infantry and more than 100 cavalry.
Lugo was so angry that his mouth crooked: "You, you, this doesn't count!" How can anyone play the mutant card halfway, isn't this a trick! β
"The pre-war strategy cards are clearly written, and that's what I set up. The soldiers are not tired of deceit, if you want to blame it, you didn't see the situation clearly and sent all the cavalry, even if you send 200 cavalry to explore the road first, you will not be wiped out in the end. Chino put away the cards and asked with a smile, "Another game?" β
"Come again!" Lugo was anxious to be ashamed and hurriedly agreed.
In the next few hours, Lugo experienced the most desperate moment of his life.
Although Chino is not a professional military strategist, he reads a lot of books, likes to review history, and has a large number of war cases in his mind, both in his past life and in this world, and he is like a real general.
And Lugo, now just a half-baked person who has read more than 20 pages of military books and feels good about himself.
Chino didn't need to use any rare tricks, and directly used "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" in turn, and Lugo had already been abused to doubt his life.
After Lugo lost 20 games in a row, Chino promised him a "welfare bureau" and ordered a retreat as soon as the fight began, telling the soldiers to abandon their armor and flee to the valley.
Lugo was really stupid and sent someone to chase after him, but halfway through the chase, Chino came to say, "Haha, I lied to you", and then ambushes appeared on both sides of the valley, directly pried boulders to block the retreat, and locked Lugo's army inside to encircle and annihilate.
After losing 21 games, Lugo was already unconscious, picked up "Military Theory and Practice" without saying a word, and went home to read it at night.
After educating Lugo, Chino sat down at the piano and played "To Alice" for a while.
Chino scored 148 points in his previous life and passed the Emperor's grade 8, and the basic repertoire of "To Alice" was naturally in his hands.
He was playing the piano, and the little black cat was lying on the piano stand and listening, so comfortable.
Bounced and flicked, a raven landed on the window and pecked lightly at the window, making a thumping sound.
Chino put the end up, got up and opened the window, took the letter from the raven's feet, and released it.
The letter was sent by Resakhar.
Chino opened the letter, and after reading it, his eyes narrowed slightly.
In addition to the daily greetings, the letter also mentioned a very important event - on the 30th of the snow return, that is, on the last day of the year, King Dogurand XXIV will hold a New Year's banquet in the "royal city", and Resakhar invites Chino to accompany him.
...
3 days ago.
The capital of the province of Tayu, the cold valley.
The province of Tafyu is located in the northernmost part of Doguland, and the Cold Valley is the coldest place in the kingdom, full of frozen soil that will never melt, forming an endless area of ice, and the indestructible ice even freezes nearly 100 meters below the ground.
Even in the hottest "Red Lotus Season", the temperature here is around minus 15 degrees, and in the "snow season", the temperature is even more than minus 70 degrees.
However, it is such a forbidden area that is difficult for ordinary life to reach, but it is the base camp of the "Regnome Family", one of the five royal families.
The Arctic Valley was originally white and frozen, but when the dragon broke through the cold snap and approached, the scorching heat caused the air to ripple violently, making the wind and snow even more messy and unbridled.
After landing on the dragon's perch, Ray Sakhar unhooked his ride and jumped off the dragon's back, the half of the cigarette in his mouth was still burning before, and was immediately extinguished by the cold when he entered the cold valley, and was covered with thick frost.
In the white wind and snow, you can vaguely see a figure in the distance, naked and with a skin covered with battle marks, holding a brush to clean the scales of a golden dragon in front of him.
Ray Sakhar smiled and called, "Sting! β
The figure turned his head, this was a middle-aged man who had been weathered by wind and frost, but he had not lost his heroic spirit, he looked older than Ray Sakhar, his physique was very burly, he was more than two meters tall, and his beard as hard as steel had been dyed white by wind and frost, but he could not hide the murderous aura of the journey.
Stine Derin Regnome, the current leader of the Regnom family, is the Scourge of Sequence 6 and is home to one of the most powerful dragons in all of Dogoland.
"Ray Sakhar, my brother~" Sting walked over and bumped Ray Sakhar on the shoulder, "Welcome home." β
Resahar sighed, "I love the cold valley to death, and only the temperature here can make me feel comfortable." β
"Haha, the king always told me to move the capital, saying that this place is too difficult to enter. I don't agree, how can I easily move away such a livable blessed land~" Sting threw the brush into the frozen bucket and put his arm on Ray Sakhar's shoulder, "Let's go, long time no see, we want to have a drink." β
