Chapter 198: A Brief Respite
Steve and Ted have already agreed, and the next plan is perfect, as long as everything goes according to plan, there will be no surprises.
It's just that someone next to him came to the spirit, and he leaned over and raised his hand to point at himself as if to remind them.
As a belligerent second prince, when he heard that he was going to fight the Wave Empire, he had already written a letter of transfer of troops, and was ready to go out to make trouble with him!
As an old iron who has been in the army for many years, as long as there is a war, he will not care about other things!
These days, whether it's from what I've seen or heard, or from hearsay! Galen roughly guessed that Ted would definitely not worry about logistical supplies!
Since he doesn't have to worry about supplies, he can let it go! He dared to say that even if he didn't have firearms, he could defeat the Western Empire with cold weapons and cavalry!
The two in front of the meeting stared at themselves dumbfounded, Galen tactically took half a step forward and asked, "Eh, eh! You're done talking, and you've made a plan, so what about me?"
Ted shrugged and responded, "You? How about keeping home? ”
After so many years of fighting, Galen has never guarded his home: "What!? Are you out to war? Leave me at home? Does this sound like a word? ”
There was another person who was going to keep the house, so to say, just to set Galen and let him learn the necessary knowledge himself: "What's so unreasonable about this? Do you know anything about modern warfare command? Do you know how to command infantry against an enemy dozens of times your size? How to bring out the effectiveness of mechanized troops? Do you understand? Nothing to understand! I don't feel comfortable handing over my troops to you."
This is very reasonable, but Galen still does not give up, since he can't command the modern troops, then he can try to ask for equipment: "Then do you have any extra equipment?" I use it to arm my troops, and when the time comes to go to the front to fight? ”
Ted shook his head, picked up the weapon behind him and smiled, "Do you think it's possible?" Untrained soldiers, who take up their arms and don't even see the enemy, die from a misfire of their firearms and play themselves to death! ”
"It's just a pariah, and if you die, you're dead!"
It is not easy to make this royal family member understand that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and after so many years, there has been no case of water overturning a boat.
Therefore, Ted could only cut in from a different angle: "Galen, you have thought about it, this weapon is far more lethal than a bow and crossbow, and it is full of too many uncertainties for people who have not been systematically trained to use it!" If you change to a short-tempered and illiterate person, you might not be able to point a weapon at you! ”
Such worries are very reasonable, the second prince doesn't want to be shot and die at the hands of his own people! Besides, most of the people under his command are conscripts and captured coolies, and there are no volunteers at all!
Under the trend of internal contradictions, it is easy to be killed by former subordinates: "It makes sense!" But what do you mean by the second half of the sentence? According to you. Do you need to be literate with a gun? ”
Ted raised his hand, wiped the sweat from his chin, and pointed around: "Logically speaking, it is not necessary, but our army in the north, every one of them is literate, and they also know tactical coordination, and the grassroots officers are proficient in infiltration and infiltration, and reading and writing is just a very ordinary skill for them!" ”
As a prince, he knew very well what it meant to have a large number of combat-minded soldiers.
Besides, this group of soldiers still has such a deadly weapon in their hands!
When encountering the enemy, the ability to resist pressure and combat ability will allow them to have the upper hand with one enemy and ten.
"Then let me casually ask, ha, what is your literacy rate? I guess, I'm afraid it's more than half? ”
Ted still has the same smiling face, and said with a smile in the tone of Dress B: "Last time, it was 90 percent, and the remaining ten percent are babies, and they haven't been weaned yet."
"Hiss" Hearing such an introduction, Galen gasped, and only felt incredible!
Driven by curiosity, he asked, "How did you do that?" ”
"How? Actually, it's not difficult, I just gave them something to eat when they were dying of hunger, and in return, they had to learn to read and write, and if they didn't learn and eat my things, it would be a loss of face for me."
At first, it wasn't what Ted said, he just borrowed what the common people thought it was
Looking at Ted's appearance, Galen's purpose is halfway there! So, he moved his own business out again, and returned to the topic bluntly: "You can do it enough.!" But I can't be idle at home, can I? Something has to be done! ”
After thinking about it, Ted still plans to test the strength of the No. 2 tool man and pull him out to see if he is really powerful or fake NB!
"In this case, then you will be an accompanying 'battlefield observer', learn tactical theory, as well as how to use weapons, practice is better than textbooks! Since you're so willing to fight, I'll give you a chance! From now on, we will continue to fight, from this continent to the whole world! As long as you follow the rules and don't mess up with me, I will fulfill you! Until then, I have a few more strips."
"No problem!"
"I haven't said the conditions yet."
"No, you don't! If you want the identity of my prince, I can give it to you now! As long as I can fight! Anything! ”
"Come on, stop! If you want to join in the fun, learn this booklet first! ”
"What's this?"
"You're done!"
Taking advantage of the time when the great prince and foreign enemies were stumbling, the imperial city got a chance to breathe!
Now, just get the fortifications done before the Grand Prince's troops are depleted.
Merely. This wood-framed muddy wall, no matter how strong it is, is useless, it can withstand a dozen impacts, but it is only a matter of time before it is breached.
As long as you hit it with a rushing car for half an hour, the city wall will collapse!
Right now, there's only one way to strengthen your defenses!
That is to take out the mines and bury some surprises
There are not many mines carried by the Airborne Corps, and it is enough to use them for emergencies
A few hundred were enough to weaken the offensive intensity of their vanguards.
Moreover, the enemy is not stupid enough to ride a triceratops to crash into the city wall, even if the city wall is not strong, worse than the tofu scum project, it can still block a wave of charges.
When the time comes, this first wave of corpses in the front row can become an obstacle to the enemy's advance.
In addition, the corpses that were just laid on the battlefield can also hinder certain attacks.
But these are only delays, and there is no way to put the enemy in an offensive predicament.
A few hours later.
The plane flew back and dropped more than 90 tons of supplies.
They were accompanied by two aerial gunboats loaded with ammunition and fuel, who could overlook the entire battlefield from the sky and provide fire support at any time.
It was getting late, and Ted didn't let the Imperial City light a fire, but instead took three oversized searchlights from Viscount Tomato and hung them on the city walls.
This thing was originally used to find planes at night, but now there are no planes, giant bats rely on ultrasound to identify the direction at night, and the gunboats above have their own radar jammers, as long as the frequency is slightly adjusted, this group of animals can retreat!
During the night, Ted went to the rear to count supplies, leaving Steve and Galen behind.
Just as the two were about to doze off, everyone heard a sparse pulling sound from a distance, and Steve immediately put on a night vision device to observe the situation in the distance.
"Hmmm! The Grand Prince's troops were gone, and the rest of the people had fled, and the sturdy carriage in the farthest distance should be filled with Andy."
Galen was confused, looked at Steve, who didn't know anything about military affairs, and was so anxious that he wanted to greet his whole family, but he thought that they were all family, so he could only hold back: "Eh, don't worry about Andy, he is now the commander of a light pole, see what the enemy is!" ”
"Enemy. They didn't choose to attack, but stayed where they were and set up camp, but sent some scouts to check on the situation first."
"It's easy to do! Just defeat it, the enemy will attack for a long time, and it will be relied on in one breath, and after the battle with the eldest prince, the gas will be gone! It's the end of the crossbow! If you rush to attack the city at night, you are looking for death! However, since they don't choose to attack the city and wait until tomorrow to fight, their accumulated advantage will be reduced by half! We'll be relieved too! This can only be regarded as an ordinary general! ”
It's kind of funny to answer like this, at least that's what Steve thinks: "Oh? It seems that second brother, you also have a very good opinion on military strategy! ”
"What? You know? ”
"I don't understand, but I've heard it, and I can feel that what you say is not a joke"
Before Galen could speak, Ted returned to the wall with his soldiers: "Eh! You two stop first, what's the situation outside!? ”
Galen didn't know that there was something on his helmet, so he scolded in a weird way: "I don't know, I can't see clearly!" ”
Ted shook his head, raised his hand and gently pulled the night vision device off Galen's head, and clicked the switch: "You still don't believe you when you say you need to learn"
"Wow! That's a good thing! Like daylight! It's just a little bit green."
"Stop making a fuss, what's going on outside?" Ted already knew what was going on in the outside world, and he just wanted to take a test of Galen and take a small test.
"I'm generally in good condition, they need to rest after a long journey, the war beasts are already tired, and the people are not going anywhere. If I were the commander of the enemy army, I would definitely lead the troops to carry out a small-scale night attack, and the fatigue of a small number of people would be exchanged for the fear of the enemy all night! It's a pity that the enemy generals are not smart, and we can see that the night is like day! Hey, hey, hey."
"Well, I see!" After speaking, Ted picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention scouts, you take turns to keep vigil, let the other fighters rest, see the enemy, try to solve it with crossbows!" At this distance, the thousand-pound winch crossbow is still no problem to kill a few unarmored night walkers! ”
"No problem, we're not going to startle a snake! It will also make the enemy come and go, but if they step on a mine."
"Then you can pull out the horn and taunt them!"
"Yes!"
After dealing with the city, it was the enemy's turn to sleep well
"Is Joseph here? Give them a wash of their hair with Molotov cocktails! ”
"It's ready, ready to strike!"
"Let's get some things done now!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
