Oster sincerely apologized to Modias, "I have no experience in leading troops into battle, and my stupid idea has caused you to take a detour. ”

Modias wondered, "Why do you say that? The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I chase, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy is stationed and disturbs us is also what you taught us. ”

It turned out that Modias saw that the strong attack could not be effective, and had ordered the troops to shrink their forces, alternate cover, and save their strength and retreat.

The heavy tanks of the corps could not go up steep mountains and drive into dense forests, and seeing that the rebels had already taken precautions, they were dazed by mines and ambushes, and they did not know how many troops the other side had, and they had no bottom in their hearts. After destroying the Nanchuan camp, he turned around and retreated under the orders of the commander.

Seeing this, Modias continued to send mobile troops to harass him, coupled with the bombs planted earlier, forced the regiment to be unable to assemble and repair smoothly. The forward troops pursued all the way to a point dozens of miles north of the camp, but were forced to stop due to lack of backup.

At this time, the situation was still grim, the rebel army was insufficient, and the legion could return to the horse pistol at any time, and whoever called for reinforcements first could achieve the final victory. Oster immediately sent the cavalry to Modias to the front line to continue the pursuit of the corps, and returned to the destroyed camp himself to repair the damaged communication circle.

With Sashu's blessing, Oster was well versed in the structure of magical artifacts and props, and soon regained most of the communicator's functionality. After receiving the news, Skar immediately ordered a support army from the headquarters to turn back to the north, join the Nanchuan troops, and be led by the deputy gang leader to intercept the Kingdom Corps.

At this time, Oster inadvertently discovered that the two crows that had been hovering in the air showed a resolvable signal in the Sashu interface, indicating that they were disguised by magical creatures. Hurry up and let the hunters shoot them down, it turns out that they are all the reconnaissance eyeliner of the Kingdom Legion. It dawned on him that there is such a usage, and it seems that in any world, intelligence warfare is an important part of warfare.

Oster remembered that Nanchuan used to be the seat of the Artist Guild, and there were many magic messenger summoners. When I got it out, I found that these things flew too slowly, too low, and so stupid that they were simply live targets on the battlefield.

After some thought, he used the Sa book to scan and disassemble the magic messenger, mimicking the structure of the Legion's magic eyeliner, and transforming it into a communicator and attaching it to the hunter's eagle talons. In this way, a front-line reconnaissance and communication network belonging to the rebel army was established, and when it encountered the magic eyeliner of the corps, the eagle could also directly attack and bite it down, making the enemy blind and his own eyes like a torch.

In the middle of the night, reinforcements from the headquarters finally arrived and joined forces with the Nanchuan troops. Having learned his lesson, Oster knew he was a fool when it came to command, and he handed over all the front-line command to Modias. He continued to transform and build a magical communication network, and installed messengers on the ground beasts to ensure that orders could be transmitted to every front-line officer.

At the moment of the great enemy, the dwarves did not give in, took over the seal, and immediately deployed troops to take advantage of their light equipment and familiarity with the terrain, and rushed ahead of the corps to attack all the roads along the way, forcing them to drive up the uneven mud fields and mountains, and preventing them from advancing towards the town to join the local guards.

With the cover of the nearby masses and the intelligence support of the communication network, the rebel soldiers came and went freely. As reinforcements continued to arrive, the firepower increased, and the encirclement of the corps was gradually completed. The battle line of the Kingdom Corps was forced to stretch very long, and it was impossible to maintain a formation during the march, and it was constantly subjected to tailgating attacks from the rebels from all directions;

If the opponent chooses to defend on the spot and set up a platoon of guns and artillery to counterattack, the rebels will immediately retreat. And as soon as they fought again, the rebels, who knew everything about their movements, immediately concentrated their forces to cut them off and eat a single part.

Seeing that the time had dragged on for too long, the losses were increasing, and the reserves of gunpowder and mana had been reduced to a minimum, the corps commander was in confusion and made a hasty order; The whole army was ordered to disperse and break through, abandon the tanks damaged in action, and force a breakthrough and retreat from all directions. This caused the front to be completely opened, and each fought separately.

The rebels who had arrived rushed forward, and after an armor-piercing magic greeting, the invincible steam tanks lay down one after another, suffering heavy losses. However, after the smoke passed, I saw the soldiers of the legion dressed in the fine plate armor of Stormwind City, holding enchanted shields, lined up in a neat array, and pushed forward under the suppression of the fire of the platoon guns and battle mages.

Compared to these battle-hardened professional soldiers, the rebel soldiers were clearly untrained and equipped, and were no match at all when it came to hand-to-hand combat. After a fierce battle, the rebels' defensive line was torn open several gaps, and the position was stained red with blood, and Modias was forced to abandon the encirclement strategy and let the soldiers who broke through the siege go away.

As it turned out, the instructions of the corps commander could not be called completely wrong either. These regular legions, which have fought in the north and south, and have fought against various forces, have tenacious tenacity and adaptability.

Because the rebels have the advantage of intelligence and popular support, and have obtained sufficient magical weapons, they may be consumed alive if they are confined to the Butan coordination and shrink into a group of passive beatings. However, after leaving the tanks that were difficult to move in the mountains and mud fields, the soldiers of the elite corps still possessed heavy enchanted shield armor and strong combat qualities, and could advance on foot, giving full play to the advantage of melee combat to effectively kill the rebels and tear apart the pocket line of defense.

After a day and a night of fighting in the dark, both sides suffered heavy losses.

This was the first large-scale clash between the rebels and the regular regiments of the kingdom near Montenegro. Although the rebel army won first and then was defeated, although the plot of the official army to annihilate the living force of the rebel army was smashed, the Nanchuan camp was completely burned down, and the ambush did not achieve effective results. Most of the officers and troops still relied on their strong individual combat capabilities to break through and withdraw to the crossroads fortress one after another;

The situation of the direct corps was not much better, although they managed to retreat before the supplies were exhausted, at least three-quarters of the tanks were abandoned on the road, along with hundreds of corpses of Stormwind soldiers. Coupled with the loss of wounded soldiers and energy consumption materials, the troops sent by this Sentinel Ridge to support Montenegro have not yet arrived, and more than half of them have been directly lost on the way. According to the informant's information, the commander of the corps has been removed from his post on the spot and investigated.

After this battle, the Southern Rebel Army inflicted a large number of casualties and extreme shock on its direct corps, shattering the myth of its invincibility. These Stormwind ace army, armed to the teeth, who have always looked down on the local and civilians, and who boast of being invincible, have truly seen the power of the unity of the mud legs. After that, he was much more cautious and timid, and did not dare to easily attack the nearby towns and counties, and do the same arrogant and evil deeds as before.

In this battle, the performance of Captain Modia was extremely impressive, and after returning to the headquarters, Skar promoted him and rewarded him with a general order. But the dwarf insisted that everything he did was taught by the deputy gang leader, and demanded that the credit be transferred to Oster.

Previously, when Oster eliminated Barry's gang and wanted to appoint Modias as a captain, the dwarves thought that they were just a circus master with no experience in leading troops, and initially planned to resign. But Oster, who was still full of confidence at that time, told him that what is difficult in fighting a war, a social animal can command thousands of troops and horses with the front foot through the back foot. Modias was pleasantly surprised and asked Oster to give him some specific tactics.

Before the crossing, he lived in a country where the road was not left unturned, and he was also an otaku who had never been a soldier, and his military experience was limited to RTS strategy games. But Haikou had already boasted, and looking at the fans with starry eyes, he had no choice but to slap his swollen face and become fat, and move out of the only war history that he was familiar with in his previous life, that is, the tactics of a certain great man who commanded guerrilla warfare and anti-encirclement and suppression in the early days told him;

Because it is written in the textbook, Oster can remember it roughly, and he has talked about it in a hurry. Of course, in the end, he did not forget to warn Modias that the most crucial point in the thinking of the great man is that all theories must conform to reality and seek truth from facts.

Unexpectedly, Modias not only took notes very seriously, but also circulated them to all mid-level officers asking them to memorize the full text. Because Oster's prestige was high, everyone willingly studied and discussed; I didn't expect it to work quickly.

But Oster knew very well in his heart that theory was one thing, practical application was another—I didn't know how high the grade was. Those flexible and eclectic combat methods cannot be understood simply by listening to two mantras. This Modias may be a real genius with troops.

Therefore, when Skar wanted to transfer the award to Oster, he hurriedly waved his hand and resolutely refused, "I didn't do anything, he came up with it himself." If you don't use such talents, you will lose yourself. ”

Skar said strangely, "Didn't you teach Modias with your own hands, there is only one dwarven officer in the entire rebel army, why is he so modest?" ”

Oster sighed and said, "The little thing I taught him was all about picking people's teeth, not my own. "Not to mention standing on the shoulders of giants, it is directly moving giants out to others. When a copyist can still pretend to be arrogant, he really can't live up to that face.

At this time, the generals of the rebel army all believed that this was Oster who was fighting for his talents, and their admiration for the deputy gang leader deepened. Skar shook his head and sighed, "You can't have a trace of shortcomings, you're just a perfect person." ”
