"My lord, we have been training for at least a month, do we still want to continue training?" said a representative of a vassal empire with a hint of eagerness on his face, and the ghost ugly shook his head slightly and said: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, even if a new army enters now, it will take a certain amount of time to hone, but the army that has been trained can go north in batches to carry out guerrilla warfare, and then we can slowly put in troops." β
The representative of the empire was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't this a tactic of adding oil?" My lord, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" The ghost ugly shook his head and said: "You are wrong, what I said is based on the squad, and it is not to concentrate on attacking with all its strength, but to infiltrate more points, fighting separately, but it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of contact, so that the combination of actual combat and training, when fighting, our troops will have a certain combat effectiveness, even if it is a battle loss, it is also a small force, and there is no loss to the whole." β
"My lord, what about the supplies?" asked the other lord, if he didn't think his subordinates could solve the food problem on their own, the ghost clown shook his head slightly and said, "I believe in your soldiers, they can do it, and please also believe in the Crescent Army, they are all very good officers, with enough survival skills." After a pause, the ghost continued: "Starting tomorrow, all the troops will be divided into small units and target the troops on the outskirts of the Holy Capital to carry out harassment tactics. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed an incredible expression, but surprisingly everyone stood up and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Yes!" Concentrating troops on the Fredom Road for a decisive battle with a large army is the most intuitive concept of war in everyone's cognition, but the ghost ugly is the opposite, scattering all the troops, this tactic is mostly useless in the eyes of the people present, the enemy's troops are enough, even if it is harassment, the role played in the case of force superiority should be limited.
But this tactic was proposed by the ghost, and it was clear that the young commander had enough confidence, and the representatives and lords of the various vassals wanted to see how powerful the trained army could be under the ghost.
This order was quickly conveyed, and the representatives of the various vassal empires were left in the city of Salint by the ghosts because they did not need to command such squads, and began to train these people, at first, the representatives of the various empires and the lords were very resistant, thinking that although the ghosts could be appreciated by the two marshals, they were still too young after all, and it was enough to train ordinary soldiers, and it was a bit too big to train military commanders for these lords.
But when the Combined Legion left the station, all the Imperial representatives and lords were called to the battle conference room by the Ghost Ugly, and then one person against all the military generals, without exception, the Ghost Ugly spent an afternoon to prove that he was not only superb in the ability of the Imperial Army, superb in command, but also had the capital to train everyone.
The next day, all the representatives and lords of the empire obediently came to the battle conference room after the morning drill to listen to the training of the ghost, and when the ghost entered the conference room, the first batch of battle reports was delivered.
"Well, it's very good, now at least three hundred squads have successfully reached the edge of the jurisdiction of the Holy Capital, except for the twelve squads that have been discovered, the rest have not been discovered, there have been thirty-three skirmishes, seventy-eight people have been injured, including thirty-one orcs, twenty-six dwarves, eighteen Terran warriors, three winged men, and more than two hundred enemies have been killed. Well, who made this data? It's very detailed. β
Karle took a slight step forward and said: "Report to my lord, it was made by the Ministry of Intelligence, and the relevant battle reports are still coming through, and it is expected that in ten days, these troops will all infiltrate the predetermined battlefield, and then they will cut off contact with here." β
Ghost Ugly nodded and said: "Give the intelligence department a mission, after ten days, they will keep in touch with at least thirty squads, and at the same time assign two intelligence officers between each two squads to convey as accurate information as possible." "Yes!" Karle turned to go down, he had his own combat style, and he was not suitable for listening to what the ghost was talking about now, so he didn't need to participate in this training class of the ghost ugly.
"Okay, now let's start our first training camp, escape. β
The people in the audience almost didn't turn over directly when they heard it, they are not ordinary students, in any education on the mainland, offense and defense are the most important courses, but the ghost and ugly will talk about escape first, which is a bit too shocking, and some people's faces sank immediately, and some people even asked questions directly.
"My lord, the two armies are fighting each other, and it is a shameful act to escape! We should talk about offense and defense!" The person who spoke was a representative of the empire, and he came all the way to the city of Salint with a force of nearly 10,000 people, and in Karle's opinion, he was a talent, but if you want to look at it ugly, he is a person who is as pedantic as Feng Lun, and he cannot be called a talent at all.
If you really go to the battlefield, such a person will definitely die first compared with the captain of the Crescent Moon Army, in the ghost ugly's heart, if you can't use tactics flexibly, the person who will seize the opportunity to defend can also be regarded as useful, but if you blindly attack, it is not ordinary stupidity, and looking at the expressions of everyone present, it seems that you also deeply agree with the words of this representative, and the ghost ugly smiled coldly and said: "The enemy ten times your size attacks your position, are you attacking or defending?"
The representative didn't know what to say for a while, but the ghost said it for him, "Attacking is tantamount to looking for death, defense can also hold out for a while, if you have to save troops, your choice is to retreat, in short, to escape." But this escape is a talk, if you want to listen, then sit down. β
Given the steps, this representative of the empire is not stupid, but after sitting down, he is much more honest. Seeing him sit down, the others were silent, the problem that the ghost clown had just now was actually similar to the current situation, those sent out teams were actually facing ten times or even a hundred times more enemies, in this case, if they wanted to escape, the requirements for the soldiers would become very strict, but the ghost clown didn't seem to be worried at all, and judging from the battle report just now, it seemed that the so-called infiltration plan was quite successful, and in just one day, these 100,000 troops who were completely scattered actually quietly arrived at the periphery of the holy capitalγ
In normal times, they would never have been able to do it, and there was another point, even if they wanted to send a message that the 100,000 troops of the Holy Capital had entered, they would not have been able to send a way to tell exactly where the real main force of the Ghost Ugly was.
And the later 50,000 troops are still training, the biggest possibility is that the ghost still uses this method to bring these troops to the periphery of the holy capital, and then carry out the next series of plans, some people secretly say in their hearts that it is a pity, all the people in the intelligence department are the ghost ugly's subordinates, whether it is any lord or the representative of the empire racking their brains and not installing this department in their own henchmen, in terms of intelligence secrecy, the ghost ugly is really in place.
"Since it's an escape, then how to escape the enemy's pursuit has become a very interesting topic, if the number of enemies is not much, then we can run separately, although their combat power is divided into two, but the enemy is the same, if the target is too small, the enemy is most likely to give up the pursuit, of course, once it is overtaken, then it is very likely that some intelligence will be exposed, but how much can a soldier know, when they escape, the plan they made before was a failure, so there is not much information that can be obtained, some people will ask, what if it is a person from the core mobile team who is caughtThe ghost smiled and said: "Your subordinates don't have any core tasks for the time being, because all the tasks I have issued are aimless, the purpose is just to harass, and it is actually very difficult to catch the troops that are reduced to pieces at any time, especially if the other party is a rebel army who is not very smart." β
There was a lot of laughter below, and the ghost ugly also laughed twice before continuing: " But if you think that you can win in this way, then you are very wrong, although this tactic is suitable for the current battle situation, but the real difficulty we have to face is still the city wall of the holy capital, presumably everyone knows that the rebels in order to take the holy capital of the army consumed troops, according to the statistics of the crescent army, the rebels left nearly 200,000 corpses under the city wall, the clean-up work has been done for a month, it is now spring, if the corpses are not properly disposed of, then the plague outbreak in the holy capital is also a matter of time. β
Everyone was shocked, could this be the real purpose of the ghost!?
And while the ghost is talking in Salinte, a team led by a group of Crescent soldiers is slowly approaching a no-man's land.
"Captain, why does this stink here?" complained to one of the soldiers, covering their noses, the smell of which made people feel dizzy, and the further they went, until the soldiers stuffed their noses, and then covered their mouths tightly, and then they realized why the captain must have prepared two thick handkerchiefs that seemed useless at the time, and the soldiers only hated themselves for not bringing one more.
The captain's voice came from under the thick handkerchief, causing all the soldiers present to be stunned.
"Can nonsense not stink, there are nearly 20,000 corpses buried here, and there is no one within a radius of ten miles, why do you think it is?"
"Captain...... This ......" The complaining soldier instinctively wanted to vomit after hearing this, but the smell was so bad that he didn't even want to take off his handkerchief, so he forcibly endured it again. The squad leader walked forward with the soldier for a short while, and finally began to see piles of corpses, and the squad leader crouched down and said with a happy face: "Quick, bring all the arrows." β
