Without the supervision of the coach, the captain of the star post worked harder than before, everyone carefully prepared the subjects, and the training time was full, and the battle for military positions was already silent.

Scarface reviews the battle examples every five days, using famous battles in history to describe the glory of cavalry and cultivate the tactical literacy of cadets. Putting aside cynicism, he is undoubtedly an excellent instructor, detailed troop data, accurate battlefield maps, expounding the experience as if he had experienced the battle, quoting classics when evaluating the gains and losses of the tactics of all parties, and the names of the generals that are familiar to the students and soldiers burst out of his mouth one by one, and all kinds of judgments are imprinted in everyone's minds.

"Every battle is different, find the common ground in it, keep the most basic principles in mind, combine it with your own character and heart, verify and perfect it with life and blood, and form a unique way of fighting, then you will be a good officer. ”

"Don't blindly believe the existing conclusions, a good officer is to use combat to prove that how to command can achieve greater results. ”

Scarface's lecture is the opposite of training, talking less and letting the trainees discuss more, no one speaks at first, and can't help but ridicule and coercion to barely cope, in exchange for greater roars and heavier physical punishment, everyone has to rack their brains to think, and it turns out that no matter how ridiculous the speech is, the coach - after Scarface teaches the tactics class, few people in private call him by his nickname - will not refute, just as he said: doubt is the best motivation for learning.

Time is running out in training, the March deadline is running out, and the tactical session is nearing its end.

In the last tactical class, Coach Qiu did not have as many teaching aids in his hands as before, hung a large map on the wooden card, and then began to teach.

"Qinghui Empire, a battalion of the most elite cavalry, with a strength of 3,500 people. The Sunset Empire, a cavalry corps, half an infantry corps, and more than fifteen thousand troops. ”

As soon as Coach Qiu said the opening remarks, Gao Yuan's face was excited, and his eyes stared at the map on the wooden board. This battle is definitely the battle of Grandpa Gun, and you can finally know some inside information.

"The Sunset Empire's Tempest Cavalry Legion should be equipped with more than half an infantry legion, and when they were training in cavalry cooperation, they unexpectedly met with the Imperial Leopard Jie Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and an encounter broke out between the two sides. The place of the battle was in the middle of the border between the two countries, the Fengming Forest of the Zhuola Yansir Grassland, three hundred miles away from the Sunset Empire and four hundred miles from the Qingwei Empire. ”

Zhuola Yansier Grassland, Fengming Forest, and Gao Yuan firmly remembered these two names, and carefully observed the map of Fengming Forest. Fengming Forest is 200 miles long from east to west and about 30 miles wide from north to south, and it is a hilly area where endless mountains, dense forests and grasslands meet in the north.

Gao Yuan was a little puzzled, such a terrain Hurricane Legion has infantry cooperation, how could Grandpa choose to start a war with the Cavalry Battalion, the Cavalry Battalion Scout Cavalry will definitely find out that the Tempest Legion is training in advance, the difference in strength between the enemy and me is too big, why doesn't Grandpa take the Cavalry Battalion to bypass, unless, unless it is not an encounter at all, but an ambush!

"No one knows what happened in the battle, but after the battle, the battlefield was surveyed, and the result was that the Tempest Legion and its subordinate infantry were almost completely wiped out, and more than 3,000 warriors of the cavalry battalion were all killed. ”

Gao Yuan just felt a little eyebrows, and overthrew it in an instant, even if he was ambushed, but since he almost wiped out all the enemies, it means that the battle time will never be short, and grandpa has every chance to lead people to break out of the encirclement, why did he choose to fight to the death? A thought suddenly appeared in Gao Yuan's heart: Since it is a battle to the death, how did grandpa survive, single-handedly fight out of the encirclement, or in the case of an arrow in the throat, this is absolutely impossible!

"I don't comment on this battle, and I can't judge, let alone me, now all the cavalry generals in the empire, no one dares to say that they can achieve such a result. ”

"What tactics did the cavalry battalion use to defeat five times the enemy in unfavorable terrain, remember, there were three times as many well-trained cavalry. The Tempest Cavalry Legion, one of the four most elite cavalry legions of the Sunset Empire, was removed after this battle and has not been rebuilt. ”

"You think for a moment and start discussing, this is also the most important assessment of the tactics class. ”

Takagaki thought that he could understand some truth, but Coach Qiu obviously didn't know, except for providing the location and the name of the opponent, there were no valuable clues. Then listen to what everyone thinks, maybe there are not too many restrictions on the apprentices, can have a refreshing analysis, in the past in the tactical class, there is no shortage of such situations, although most of the novel statements are too absurd.

The beginning of the speech was full of temptation, and the students who spoke would not throw out all the essentials, tactics, related to the assessment of tactics courses, and unconsciously used confusing tactics, which was wonderful in the final discussion.

Ambush, the cavalry battalion fell into the enemy's ambush, and in the face of several times the enemy's inability to break out of the encirclement, this is the common point of the previous speech, as for how to destroy the enemy, there is no answer for a while.

"Coach, I also think that the cavalry camp has been ambushed. Su Rui began to speak, first throwing out his opinions, and then began to argue layer by layer: "It is impossible to be an encounter, reconnaissance and movement capabilities, so that even if the cavalry encounters the enemy's cavalry, it is impossible for a battalion of more than 3,000 people to be killed." ”

The students nodded one after another, and the analysis made sense, the encounter between 10,000 and 3,000 was cavalry, and it was impossible to annihilate them all, but someone still asked: "If it is a continuous march of the cavalry battalion, the enemy will wait for work, and it is possible to encircle and annihilate it." ”

Su Rui had obviously considered this factor, and confidently continued to speak: "Battlefield location! The grassland is seven hundred miles long from east to west, and the battle site is four hundred miles away from the empire, so there is no reason for the Xiao cavalry battalion to march in a hurry at these four hundred miles, this is one of them. Second, being able to wipe out the Tempest Legion in battle also shows that the Cavalry Battalion will maintain strong combat power and will not be a tired division. Tactical command, I think, was to defeat the infantry by charging first, and then engaging the cavalry with cavalry, relying on the overall strength to outmaneuver the enemy, and finally destroying the Tempest Legion. Of course, at this time, the cavalry battalion also suffered heavy casualties, and finally died with the enemy infantry. ”

After Su Rui spoke, the four sentinel commanders Sarau expressed his support, but put forward the opposite view of the battle commander, believing that the cavalry should be destroyed first and then die with the infantry, on the grounds that there was no need for the cavalry battalion to waste horsepower on the infantry in the first place, and the Tempest Legion would not watch them slaughter the infantry.

“... At the beginning of the battle, the Cavalry Battalion raided the Tempest Legion, disrupting their deployment. Excellence focused on the analysis of tactical command: "Since it is an ambush, the Tempest Legion should deploy cavalry to the east and south, with forests to the north and their rear to the west, and a small number of troops to intercept it." In this way, there were about 5,000 cavalry on the east and south sides, and there were infantry formations behind them to prevent the cavalry battalion from breaking out. However, by charging the whole team, it is entirely possible for the cavalry battalion to disrupt the enemy's cavalry formation, and even shoot or capture the commanding general. The chaos after the loss of command provided the cavalry battalion with more fighters to win with less. ”

Fearless in the face of heavy encirclement, decisively launched a charge, and eliminated the enemy commander by surprise, according to the brilliant vision, it was possible for the cavalry battalion to achieve the final result. Coach Qiu took a deep look at Excellence, this tactic is good, and the other students also cast admiring glances at Excellence, and the first one put forward the possibility, and the excellent tactical literacy is far stronger than the sentry commander who spoke in front.

Liu Zihui was jealous and couldn't think of a novel and effective tactic, so he stood up cheekily: "The same is true for the tactics I want to use, but I think that the enemy's commander's position will not be in the cavalry team, but in the hills to the north, where there are defense facilities prepared by the infantry, so the commander will be careless, so that the small elite of the cavalry battalion can successfully sneak attack, and it is very likely that the large army is charging during the sneak attack, and it is very likely that the large army will be charging to cover this small elite, and no one would have thought that the breakthrough of the large army would be a feint." ”

I have to say that Liu Zihui's tactical literacy is not bad, after Excellence opened his mind, the proposed plan is more likely to be realized than Excellence, which has attracted a lot of attention caused by Excellence, Instructor Qiu made an exception and nodded in approval, which made everyone look at Liu Zihui with admiration.

The apprentices joined the discussion one after another, and Mei Ying also expressed her opinion, insisting that it was an encounter, on the grounds that the middle ground was full of scouts and spies on both sides, and it was completely impossible for the ambush of the Tempest Legion to go undetected, and the large force of more than 10,000 people was mobilized, or in the sensitive middle ground, the Imperial Secret Agents would definitely pay close attention. As for how the two sides fought later, Mei Ying had no opinion, but Gao Yuan always felt that Mei Ying glanced at herself when she said, could it be that she still had tactics to say, so she didn't care much if she thought about it, they were all analytical assumptions, and what was the use of being reasonable.

"Gao Yuan, the whole team is participating in the discussion, what good things are you thinking! Keep silent, tell me your opinion, if there is no new idea, you will not be qualified in the tactical assessment!" Coach Qiu's angry roar made Gao Yuan stand up in response, and began to explain his views with a red face.

"The battle of Fengminglin is the failure of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. ”

One sentence caused an uproar, and the students were angry, destroying five times the enemy, if this is a failure, what is a victory! Coach Qiu's face instantly became gloomy, and his knife-like eyes stared at Gao Yuan: "If you can't tell me the reason, it's not as simple as unqualified tactics!"

"Coach, didn't you say that you should be bold and doubt the conclusion, Gao Yuan is just analyzing tactics, even if it is a serious mistake? Besides, isn't it a failure to wipe out the whole army!" Mei Ying stood up to defend Gao Yuan, and inadvertently revealed her true opinion.

"It doesn't matter if you're wrong, but you must not slander the heroes who died in battle!" After Coach Qiu finished speaking, Liu Zihui took the lead in crusading against Gao Yuan: "Tactical analysis is not to attract girls, and it cannot be separated from principles." Takagaki should repent and accept punishment from those imperial martyrs. ”

Not many people responded publicly, but after Mei Ying stopped Coach Qiu from staring sternly, no one stood up to speak for Gao Yuan.

"Coach, whatever punishment you give, please let me finish speaking, it won't be long!" Gao Yuan showed his stubborn side for the first time, and under the gaze of Coach Qiu with hatred, he continued to analyze without waiting for permission: "In this battle, what is the combat goal of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion?" The coach didn't say, but it definitely won't be to destroy the Tempest Legion, and the Imperial Military Department is not so stupid. Since it is not to destroy the enemy, whether it is an encounter or an ambush, the cavalry battalion should be out of the battle as soon as possible, and they are fully capable of getting out of the battle. ”

This is the key, a battalion of cavalry, will not go to the middle ground to hunt, I don't know the battle objectives of both sides, where to talk about victory, Coach Qiu and a limited number of people looked a little relaxed.

"The north and south sides of the Sunset Empire are close to dense forests, and they have the vast Zhuo La Yansir steppe, their number of war horses is far more than that of the empire, their children have grown up on horseback since childhood, and in terms of cavalry combat effectiveness, the empire is at an absolute disadvantage, otherwise the pattern on the border, it will not be them attacking, we are defending. ”

"As one of the six elites of the empire, the Leopard Jie Xiao cavalry battalion fought with a weak attack and a strong force, without a clear battle goal, no favorable terrain and reinforcements, and did not bring much benefit to the empire. As long as the Sunset Empire is willing, it can form a cavalry corps in a short period of time, but the empire, without enough war horses and well-trained riders, it is not easy to form a cavalry battalion. So this battle, I think the cavalry battalion lost, lost completely. ”

"Then why didn't the Sunset Empire form another Tempest Legion, and the Empire rebuilt the Leopard Cavalry Battalion, isn't this the opposite of what you said?"

Looking at the full room of partners who responded well, Takagaki smiled, smiling helplessly, loyalty is one thing, and it is too sad to cover up failure under the guise of loyalty.

"The Tempest Legion has all died in battle, and the Sunset Empire no longer uses the Tempest as the title of the new Legion, which is a sign of respect for those soldiers who died in battle, and it also shows that they have the courage to bear a heavy price, and I respect their courage and courage!"

In the midst of the noise, Gao Yuan saluted Coach Qiu: "Report, I'm done, I'm ready to accept punishment at any time." Coach Qiu smiled, more ugly than crying: "Cavalry tactical assessment, Gao Yuan, first." Seven days of confinement!"
