Chapter 14 Tactics
In the afternoon, Kong Ming continued to come to the playground, in front of the same blackboard, facing more mercenaries, because in the morning, many people listened with relish, and in the afternoon, more people came, and Kong Ming did not limit this, because you can limit a person's range of activities, or anything else, but you can't limit a person's right to pursue learning.
"In the afternoon, I'm going to talk to you about tactics, and a lot of people have the same understanding of tactics, which is all kinds of different methods, what kind of attack on the left, encirclement on the right flank and so on are very professional, but today I will not talk about these things in a professional language, because I realize that if I say it in that tone, then most of us will probably leave here now. So I decided to say it in a language that children can understand. ”
"Haha!" Hearing Kong Ming's explanation, the mercenaries below burst into laughter. Kong Ming also laughed.
"Tactics are a little smaller, it is two people fighting, don't doubt it, fighting is fighting, it's just the difference between more people and fewer people, the difference between life and death. For example, if one of them is a big one and the other is a small one, everyone has no fighting spirit and no magic, nothing but bare hands, then the method of fighting between the two sides is tactics. Tactics are as simple as that. Let's extend a little more, the big man has great strength, and the small man is flexible, so how can the big man knock down the small one? Hehe, the big man can knock the small one out with one punch, this is the tactics in which there are more people and fewer people, and the small one wants to defeat the big one, what should he do? He can have several methods, one is to constantly tease the big one, and not to contact him but to constantly weaken his strength, until he can knock down the big one with one blow, second, sneak attack, kick to the big one's second one, so that it can be solved, third, you can shoot the big one behind a brick, and the matter is over, fourth, the small one can run away, pull the big one out of strength, then he wins, of course, no matter what method he uses to defeat the big one, those methods are his tactics. So tactics are actually ubiquitous among us, not so mysterious, but because as a soldier, the study is more about the methods of fighting, so it is better to say this. This is the most basic tactic. Let's expand it a little bit more, ten men against ten people, so how do you fight at this time to win? What about 100 against 100? And then 10 against 100, how do you win? All of these methods are tactics, so this tactic is not as mysterious as other people think, it is just a way to win. ”
Kong Ming has been talking, and the people below are constantly nodding, Kong Ming gave many examples, more wins less, less wins more, sneak attacks, assaults, encirclements, etc. These tactics lessons have been taught until the mercenary army leaves the sea wall, of course, this tradition has long been preserved, and every time there is a gap in the battle, there are always some mercenaries who will explain the tactics to those new arrivals, or mercenaries who have fought well. What Kong Ming didn't expect was that many of his methods spread among the mercenaries and became a classic. Sometimes that's what it looks like, and the simple becomes a classic.
After class, Lu Hai came over and said, "Commander, the city lord wants to invite us to his place for a party." ”
"Evening?"
"That's right, the city lord's family came over and said that the city lord held a party in the city lord's mansion today, saying that it was specially entertained for us. Hou Yu explained on the side.
"Is there anyone else besides us?" asked Kumei.
"Well, I've heard that some well-known people from all over the city and many mercenary group leaders have been invited. It seems to have been held specifically for us. ”
"It must have been held specifically for us, because they want to see how much strength we have, as well as our determination to fight against the Harvey Army, and some other thoughts that we may not guess now, but we are sure that they have no bad intentions towards us, you must know that even if a person gives money to others, he also wants to understand whether the money is really used where it should be, in fact, this is still the true nature of our mercenaries, take money to eliminate disasters. ”
"So I'll reply to them now?"
"Well, let's just say we'll be there then. ”
At night, Kong Ming took Hou Yu and Lu Hai, and then brought more than a hundred sword guards, directly into the city, and rode towards the city lord's mansion. Kong Ming saw that in Haicheng City, the number of people was still quite lively, people came and went, most of the people, whether men or women, carried a long sword behind their backs, and some pinned their weapons to their waists, even those children who seemed to be young were also dressed like this, and there were really not many people without weapons on their bodies. On the other hand, Kong Ming is really an exception, since he became a teacher at the Harvey Imperial Academy of Magic, Kong Ming has more of a long sword and magic staff in the space ring, rather than carrying it on his back as before. Kong Ming used a small magic item to try to test it, these people with long swords on their backs are not very high-level, ordinary ones are the first and second grades, and some are not even martial artists, they still don't put on a weapon, pretentious, this really makes Kong Ming speechless, no, no, don't want to just don't want to, why do you have to bring a thing to show off this thing?
Seeing Kong Ming's appearance, Lu Hai smiled on the side: "The commander is the first time to come to the city of the Chaos Lands?"
"Hmm! Looks like I'm a dirt bun. Kong Ming smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, many first-time visitors are like this, in the Land of Chaos, whether you are vindictive or magical, or some other profession, you need to hang a sword or a sword weapon to make a appearance, of course, the most popular is the magic staff. "Land and sea road.
"Oh, why?" said Ku Ming.
"It's not because magicians are usually some erudite and literate people, and because magicians are usually sven-looking, which is in obvious contrast to those who are used to seeing the five big and three thick people, so those who carry magic wands are the most popular, and some of the nobles who are not learned and unskilled often wear magic wands to deceive some girls who are not deeply involved. Lu Hai said.
"Did you succeed?" Kong Ming asked with great interest.
"How could it be, those girls don't really like magicians, they just like the appearance of magicians, and some people usually do this half-pushed. Hou Yu continued.
"So open?" Kong Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hehe, this is the land of chaos, otherwise how can it be called the land of chaos? And these girls are not responsible, after one night, everyone is scattered, so in the land of chaos, there are many children who don't know who their father is. Lu Hai continued.
"It's really a journey of thousands of miles and reading thousands of books!" Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh. Looking at those girls in the Quartet, many people saw this side, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they waved their hands to this side, so that Kong Ming's heart couldn't help but have some changes, you must know that after three or two years of being a soldier, the sow is a sable cicada. But Kong Ming looked at it carefully, and those eyes were all staring at Hou Yu non-stop, and even some of the girls who were a little more bold kept looking at this side. I think it's because Hou Yu is a big archer, and the average archer is relatively thin and even, not like Kong Ming, although he is a magician, he is also a big sword master, so he looks very strong, and the difference between ordinary magicians is not a little bit.
"Hou Yu, you are really popular!" Lu Hai teased.
"Normally, I'm more popular if I'm in the depths of the Chaos Lands. Hou Yu said proudly.
"Hehe, but now you don't have a chance, see that there is no front, there is the city lord's mansion. The time has passed. Ha ha. Kong Ming pointed to a place in front of him that was lit up with lights, and many people walked in. And the sea sword line that had come to the mercenary barracks again and again was in front to greet the guests. It seems that it is the City Lord's Mansion.
"Alas, bad luck!"
"Haha!"
A few people came to the front of the city lord's mansion, and after Hai Jianxing saw it, he hurriedly trotted over, I really couldn't see how he got to the great sword master, Kong Ming was very puzzled, and asked Lu Hai in a low voice. Lu Hai explained: "These people generally can't go up after a certain distance, and they don't have any hope for the road of the strong, so it's very normal to go to a place to be a caretaker or a housekeeper or something like that, not everyone has a strong heart, and most people are just to increase their lifespan after cultivating, otherwise who will work hard to cultivate?"
Kong Ming nodded, this sentence does make sense, just like Kong Ming, before leaving the village, he didn't have a concept of cultivation himself, if it weren't for the fact that the ghost sent him to be that soldier, he might also be like other children, becoming a pure magician.
"Welcome, welcome. On behalf of our lord of the city, I would like to express my great welcome to all of you. Hehe, please come in, please come in. After speaking, he looked at the guards behind him and said, "Other brothers, please follow my assistant to the backyard to have something to eat." As he spoke, he pointed to a man next to him.
The captain of the guard looked at Kong Ming, Kong Ming nodded and motioned for them to follow that person, thinking that there is nothing to embarrass Kong Ming when he comes here, and besides, people don't look down on Kong Ming's five thousand people, but because Kong Ming has so many people, it has more or less some influence on this city, so he will pay money to stabilize Kong Ming's people.
"Your Excellency Kong Ming, please this way!" Hai Jianxing made a hand gesture and led the way in front, and the three of Kong Ming also entered in a group. When I entered the City Lord's Mansion, I realized that there were really a lot of people here, and many guests had already arrived, looking around for some people who knew each other to chat with each other, and those fruits and food were placed on the long table.
"A few people please feel free, you are free to come here, we don't arrange formal places, of course, there are some singing and dancing performances later, you can choose any place to sit down. I'll take my leave. ”
After watching Haijian walk, Lu Hai and Hou Yu also said goodbye to Kong Ming and went to find other people to know and contact each other. This was also agreed upon when the three of them came, and the two of them would go to get some support, so that Kong Ming would not leave this place with five thousand mercenaries, and Kong Ming, who was not good at words, was the most free one, because he would not have any tasks. Kong Ming walked to a table and picked up a juice glass, which contained some red juice, Kong Ming smelled it, but he didn't recognize what kind of juice it was, which made him feel confused for a while, you must know that as a magician is a learned person in a way, shook his head, Kong Ming walked to a place that was very close to the band, and quietly listened to the band's music. For a long time, no one came to disturb Kong Ming's leisure, which made Kong Ming happy.
Twenty minutes later, a woman sat not far from Kong Ming, also quietly watching the performance, at this time, a man walked over, sat next to Kong Ming, and said: "Commander Kong Ming, introduce yourself, Zhao Ming, the Great Sword Master of the Wind System, the leader of the Madman Mercenary Regiment." ”
"Kong Ming, the Great Sword Master of the Fire Department. Commander of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army. Kong Ming whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing the music here.
"The Commander is such a gentleman. Huh!"
"Where, it's just that I haven't heard the music here, and it's so good, so I want to listen quietly for a while, but then again, if Commander Zhao has also fought with someone like me, then you will definitely know that this scene is really moving. ”
"Hehe, the air commander is really good at laughing, how can someone like us have fought with you?"
"I take the liberty of asking, how many people are under Commander Zhao?"
"It's not a secret, most of the people here know that our madman mercenary group is the tenth largest mercenary group here, with a total of ten great sword masters, two magic masters, and more than five hundred others. Zhao Ming said proudly.
"Hehe, if Regiment Leader Zhao joins our Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, then I can give you a thousand people, how about it?" Kong Ming said.
"The air commander is too polite, we, the countrymen, don't want to participate in these wars, unless they fight here every year, we have no choice but to fight. ”
"Hehe, Commander Zhao can't help but speak, you are just a representative of other empires or forces in the chaotic land, and your task is just to drag Harvey's military force and prevent it from trying in other directions, and now I think you are also preparing to join our mercenary army, but you just want to be a higher condition, I think the establishment of a regiment is enough. And now that I'm the regiment commander below, are you going to let me give you the position of commander?" Kong Ming said with a smile, as if he didn't know that there was such a thing.
"The Air Commander is not entirely right. It is true that I was instructed to join the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, but I also have personal freedom, I don't want to put so many years of hard work in you, I am only here to talk and make an appearance to others. Zhao Ming said unhappily.
"Head Zhao, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. I'm just a person, but I ended up being a commander by the devil, and if it wasn't for that ghost thing who beat me, I wouldn't have brought these people here to get justice. It's not easy for everyone, and only by spelling out a path is the right thing. Kong Ming said slowly.
"It's hard for you to convince me like this!" Zhao Ming said dissatisfied.
"Actually, I don't want to convince you, you know, I'm here because I know that there will be multiple mercenary groups joining our team tonight, so I came, otherwise I wouldn't have come. "Kong Ming is still unhurried.
"How do you know?"
"Hehe, this is the periphery of the Land of Chaos, the outer wall that blocks the Harvey, if one day, it is also the place where the empires put some armies that have hidden their identities here, you know, only this place of the Harvey Empire continues to fight, and other places will be the safest. And at present, my record seems to be promoted by the Harvey people everywhere, and they want to defeat me to show that some people deserve the title of God of War, which is why I came here, and now some people here know about my past and want to gamble on me, so they just give people to me for free. Hehe, otherwise, where would I have written such a strong recruitment advertisement. Am I stupid?"
"Hehe, I'm convinced, in this way, let me introduce myself again, Zhao Ming, a captain of the former guards of the Huayuan Empire, according to the order above, let me take our mercenary group to participate in Your Excellency's mercenary army. This is my identity token. As he spoke, he handed a sign to Kong Ming, who touched it with his hand, it was indeed a special card for the army of the Huayuan Empire, and there were some personal information in this brand, of course, this only had certain magic instruments or magicians who could open it, and Kong Ming was the one who knew this kind of opening.
"React to your superiors and give me the three Sages. Kong Ming whispered.
"I don't know about this, I try to react to it as much as I can. Zhao Ming was taken aback by Kong Ming's boldness. You must know that the sage is not a cabbage on the side of the road, you can get it anywhere, there are only three of them, not to mention whether there is one, even if there is, where are those arrogant sages willing to come to such a ghost place?
"Don't worry, you just have to report to the top, I think for my safety, they will agree. Kong Ming said confidently.
"I can only do as much as I can, I'll go now, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow. After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Tomorrow, you can take people directly to the mercenary barracks, and the others can take their time, and the training can't be stopped, otherwise, you won't be able to complete the task you proposed above." Kong Ming added in a low voice.
"Got it. Zhao Ming was obviously not very happy in his heart. Anyone who changes from a head to a person with someone on his head will not be too happy in his heart. Kong Ming ignored this, you know, now Zhao Ming is not his person, if it is his person, then this kind of Taidu, Kong Ming has a way to repair him.
"The air commander is really a god!" said the woman next to her. Kong Ming looked over, then politely raised his glass, and then looked at the place where the performance was performed, ignoring the other party. It's like never hearing that phrase. The woman couldn't help but be angry when she saw Kong Ming's appearance, but after thinking about it, she continued to watch the performance. After a while, Lu Hai and Hou Yu both came to Kong Ming's side and said excitedly, "Kong Ming, it's really weird, now there are seven mercenary groups that clearly ask to join our mercenary army, and everything is brought by themselves, and we don't want anything to come out." Eight shops in the city have said they want to fund our military spending, which is really pie-in-the-sky. ”
"Don't be so excited, where is there such a thing as pie falling from the sky? If there is no trap in the sky, we will already burn high incense. Kong Ming said helplessly.
"How is that possible?" Lu Hai asked strangely.
"Didn't they join us because we were going to fight the Harvey, and they made it clear, otherwise you would think there would be a free lunch, really. Hou Yu glanced at him on the side.
"Do we want that to do so?" Lu Hai hesitated.
"Yes, of course you have to, otherwise how can you be worthy of their hard work. Hou Yu said on the side.
"Okay, you two take a look again, how many people are still joining our mercenary army, knowing that if you miss tonight, the development of our mercenary army will be slow. Kong Ming said.
"Then why don't you go?" Lu Hai asked helplessly.
"Hehe, I'm here to take the bait, and you are actively soliciting there, the two seem to be different, but the result is the same. ”
Watching the two of them go away, Kong Ming began to watch the performances again, not that he was an elegant person, he was really a young man, but he watched a few puppet shows in the small village, and in the palace of the Huayuan Empire, it was because he was drunk, so he didn't see those performances, and today I think I can make up for the shortcomings.
"Commander, can you sit here? I'm so lonely there. The woman walked over and sat down directly in a seat next to Kong Ming without the slightest politeness. Kong Ming couldn't cry or laugh, everyone sat down, how could they drive her away?
