Chapter 375 Rolling up the beaded curtain
"What should we do with the mercenaries on the Black Iron Road and the islanders?" Dick pointed to the upper road. "Although our militia crossbowmen have certain strength, they can't deal with their expedition knights."
"I will transfer the troops from Cold Wind Town to rescue Shanling Fortress and Slater Fortress. At all costs, we will delay their marching speed..." Roman paused and fell into deep thought, "Our first task is to defeat Makor's main force as soon as possible."
"You say it's easy." This is not easy. Tashina thought to herself, even if Roman left all the main forces to the middle road, the enemy is also the famous Son of the Wrath.
The main force of the Valley Army returned from the lower road, rested for a while, and then rushed to the middle road again.
This time, a total of more than 12,000 people were dispatched.
But this time everyone was very excited, because this time the commander was not Jet, but the King of the Valley they loved!
If you ask about Roman's position in their hearts.
Then it can only be described in one word, that is-invincible! The incarnation of destiny! The supreme ruler!
As long as this figure can be seen on the battlefield, the morale of the valley warriors will soar! Strong increase! Crazy increase! The combat effectiveness will increase tenfold or even ninefold!
Entering the army is like entering a pyramid scheme. All the soldiers have fanatical trust in Roman!
They firmly believe that the most correct and greatest thing in the world is to follow Roman's back and embark on an infinitely bright road!
If their lives can contribute to this bright road, then they will devote themselves and sacrifice for it without hesitation!
Because in this dark age - survival has never been an innate right!
For the peasant class, living in peace and security is a luxury they dream of!
They used to live in dire straits, and their lives were originally worthless.
But since coming to the Origin City, they found that it is super good here, they can eat well, wear warm clothes, and have military pay. The laws are fair and strict. The superiors treat them like brothers, and the lords treat them like people. It can be said that it is very mortal.
Those who are forced into a dead end, as long as they see a ray of hope, a beam of light, they will desperately grab it, protect it, and follow it!
People will die sooner or later, and it is better to die gloriously than to die worthless!
In the military camp, this kind of ideological propaganda that spread from top to bottom gave the soldiers of the Valley Army a steel-like fighting will and a very strong belief goal.
…
"Are the blasphemers approaching us?"
Count Ferlin replied: "Lord Macor, it seems that they want to defeat them one by one - Lord Provence was defeated miserably."
Macor said: "They underestimated the enemy."
The defeat in the lower road had a great impact on the entire situation.
Because, in theory, as long as the four roads advance step by step and form a siege, no matter how powerful the blasphemer's army is, it can only lose the City of Plenty and retreat to the basin.
But unfortunately, there are too many pig teammates.
The marching speed of the lower road was advanced by one day.
Although there was only one day's time difference, the result was that the bottom lane was isolated and prominent, just like the first bird to stick out. The blasphemer and the White Steel Princess joined forces to destroy the bottom lane, and they could do nothing.
Is this a human operation? !
And he never underestimated the enemy!
If the four lanes add up to ten points of combat power, then the middle lane alone has four points of combat power.
Even so, the army in the middle lane is advancing steadily and never impatient.
They camped for more than ten miles, and the tents were vast.
Build a strong camp and fight a stupid battle!
Fight the blasphemer Roman to the end!
I have the national strength of the entire Black Iron Land behind me, what can you use to fight me?
"Leave the camp! Fight!"
...
Roman was not unfamiliar with Makol, the latter was his brother-in-law, and his wife Hena was the daughter of Ulster. It was normal for nobles to have in-laws.
What he really remembered about Makol was the destruction of the Guardian family a few years ago. It was rumored that he was also the murderer.
"This battle must be fought quickly and decisively!" Tashina said.
"I know."
"Lord, how will you deploy the battle?" she asked again.
"Reverse the bead curtain."
The princess shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."
"I'll tell you..."
Tashina may not have heard of it, but she definitely understands the military concept.
The essence of reverse the bead curtain is to drive the defeated soldiers to attack the main formation. Cavalry can drive them, and infantry can also drive them.
They are now fighting together, and the battle plan must be clearly communicated to each corps, battalion, and the independent column where Tashina is.
Princess Baigang has seen the standard tactics of the Valley Army during this period.
In short, it is to give full play to the advantages of the phalanx and break through the enemy's defense line with a high tolerance rate.
Because in Roman's view, as long as you don't command blindly, the Valley Army is inherently invincible and there is no need to take risks.
This set of tactics was finally formulated by Roman after hundreds of war simulations.
Previously, Tashina led the cavalry to detour, which was considered quite extraordinary.
Because in standard tactics, the vanguard brigade is to protect its own flank, rather than attack the enemy's flank. This approach is intended to preserve strength and avoid unnecessary loss of troops.
Of course, the specific situation is analyzed specifically.
In the past, the reason why the vanguard brigade did not charge in a roundabout way was that Roman's knights were not as good as the noble knights who had accumulated many years of experience. Once they were separated from the main force, there was a chance that they would be captured and killed.
And now, Roman's cavalry has become stronger with the addition of the White Knights and the Oak Elite Soldiers, so he used the anvil and hammer tactics - anyway, it was the White Steel Princess who rushed to the front.
Roman rarely went to the battlefield in the real world, but he almost went crazy in the battlefield simulation, and the war experience he gained was by no means a paperback.
In the main level [War of the Kings], Roman had seen the style of the White Steel Princess. She charged everywhere on the battlefield, which was very eye-catching. She fought with a group of knights, and went in and out seven times without any damage. She was very good at seizing opportunities and obviously had a natural military talent.
Roman wanted to chew up the whole plan and feed them one by one.
The reverse bead curtain is different from the standard tactics. The standard tactics is the optimal solution for conventional operations.
Because war does not show the upper limit, but the lower limit.
A wrong decision may lead to defeat.
Bai Qi and Han Xin may get 95 points or 100 points, but the standard tactics always pursue 60 points to pass. As long as his enemy fails, he wins.
This set of play is very conservative, the lineup is rigid, lacks changes, and cannot bring out the advantages of the Valley Army.
Because the brigade is very flexible and mobile, it should be fully mobilized.
This is very necessary!
Instead of using a very rigid play, fixing everyone in one position and making some inefficient decisions.
This is a complete waste of natural resources.
But there is no way.
Jet does not have the ability to command a large army.
He used to be a swordsman, then a military instructor, and now serves as the head of the regiment.
Roman couldn't find a better candidate, so he had to let a swordsmanship instructor take the position of head of the regiment.
Jet is serious and down-to-earth. As long as he is given an order, he will complete it without compromise. He is an extremely useful tool man.
Now that Roman has taken over the command of the army, he can change the play style.
