I will be crowned king

Chapter 863 "Stupid Borre Levent"

"It's not that they are stupid, it's that they only have this choice." Anson shook his head slightly and defended as if speaking for the enemy:

"In fact, for almost most armies, this is their only choice. Due to geographical factors, supply difficulties and the quality of the army, all elite and non-elite armies must be gathered together in a certain place. Fighting a decisive battle on the battlefield is the only way to win."

"The same goes for Borre Levent. He probably feels that those who have dispersed are just our stragglers. There must be a 'real main force' assembled near or in Straw Town, ready to ambush." They're the ones who strike out... We've talked about this before."

You've talked about it, right... The adjutant twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He was basically numb to someone's overconfidence, so there was only one question left: "What if they don't get fooled?"

Looking at Carl Bain, who was always more cautious than himself, or equally afraid of death, Anson leaned back slightly and deliberately showed an expression of thinking for half a second: "My dear Chief of Staff, when the plan reaches this point, it has already been It has nothing to do with whether they are fooled or not.”

"The fact is that regardless of the empire, Clovis or most of the armies we know, the only way they know how to use their full strength to fight, or in other words, their instinctive reaction when encountering an enemy situation is to quickly assemble with surrounding friendly forces, select the battlefield, and seize Seize the opportunity and start a decisive battle."

"If they don't do this, they will deny the fighting method they are used to or good at, and the result will be a complete loss of the ability to fight. They dare not, let alone do it, because the risk is too high."

"This result has been determined from the moment the Borre Corps chose to attack." Anson looked at Karl calmly: "The enemy has a numerical advantage. If they want to win with inferior troops, they must avoid the direction they are good at - —Either defeat the enemies one by one before they are fully assembled; or expand the battlefield and maneuver quickly with the smallest combat unit, without giving them a chance to surround us, and then..."

"Jump out of the battlefield set by the enemy and let them misjudge the position of our army." Karl frowned slightly.

"Continue to use small forces to attract and mobilize the enemy, disrupt their supply lines, and keep them exhausted."

Anson spread his hands and said: "After introducing the enemy to the real ambush point we set up..."

"Destroyed layer by layer." Karl raised his eyebrows.

Anson clenched his hands tightly: "Total annihilation!"

Although it is easy to say this, it is not as simple as it seems; it is just to turn the army that was originally a whole into scattered individuals, and all have the ability to independently carry out military operations , which is a huge pressure on the quality of officers and the obedience of soldiers. They also need to have skilled rapid maneuvers and rich experience in fighting on the move.

Whether it is the imperial army that uses a small amount of cavalry and artillery as the core of the battle and uses infantry as cannon fodder, or the Clovis Royal Army that squeezes the infantry infinitely and lines up to kill 99% of the army, which army can do this? They can only be in the minority.

But Storm Legion is different.

From the original Storm Regiment to the current organized standing army, the Storm Regiment has accumulated a lot of experience in rapid mobile combat. It has always been not about winning, but about running fast; as long as the enemy cannot catch up and cannot find me, then You can never lose.

When small units fight independently, the battle is never about who has more types of troops - it is meaningless if the number is small - who has stronger firepower - no matter how powerful you are, the ammunition you can carry is limited - not even about soldiers and officers. Quality level - of course this is also important.

In Anson's view, the two sides are actually competing on two points: the ratio of officers to soldiers, and their ability to adapt to the battlefield.

The smaller the unit fights, the more flexible it is to battlefield command and its understanding of orders. The more officers it has, the more complex orders it can execute. The more it adapts to the battlefield environment than the enemy, it is equivalent to having a map that the enemy does not have. , operating in the opponent's blind spot.

In both aspects, the Storm Legion has an advantage over the opposing Crusader Army - this is the main reason Anson dares to take risks, plus his domain and abilities that can accurately cover half of the colony.

To put it more bluntly, the Holy War Army on the opposite side used the New World's "use of illegal plug-ins" - the Old God Sect - as an excuse to bully the larger ones and the smaller ones. They felt that the New World side was in the wrong and would never use it until the last resort; Anson laughed until he was paralyzed. He started firing at the beginning, and he fired it in a soul-stirring and extremely high-level way.

You think the enemy only used perspective, but you don't know that the scene may have been modified, and even the server belongs to him.

Confidently raising the corners of his mouth slightly, Anson glanced at Karl, who was still looking down at the battle report, and suddenly asked: "What's the date today?"

"Number 16." The adjutant raised his head instinctively, and raised his brows in surprise:

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Nothing." Anson shrugged:

"It just occurred to me that if Borre Levent is really as shrewd as Bernard described him, then he is probably about to realize something is wrong."

……………………

"Something's wrong?"

With his face covered in blood, Knight Levent turned his head, wiped the flesh and blood on the knife with the armpit of his clothes, and kicked the corpse of the shooting soldier to the ground: "Commander of the Legion, what are you talking about? We haven't been winning, haven't we?" ?”

As he spoke, the knight raised his knife and pointed at the messy and bloody battlefield in front of him: on the undulating road, the dusty corpses of the shooting army were laid out in layers, and the blood made the already muddy land even more difficult to fight. In Tongqing, every fallen figure looked so hideous, as if they had suffered unimaginable pain when they died.

Looking down from a high altitude, there are at least hundreds of corpses of the Shooting Army soldiers, while there are only a dozen Imperial soldiers of the Holy War Army wearing blue and white military uniforms. The outcome is clear at a glance.

The imperial cavalry in the distance had stopped chasing, laughing as they watched the defeated soldiers flee in confusion, deliberately guiding them to escape along the road to leave traces for follow-up.

The soldiers who hastily collected the trophies piled broken rifles and the 11-star-ringed flag into a bonfire and lit it. The raging fire spewed thick black smoke pillars straight into the sky, enough to be clearly visible to people more than ten kilometers away.

Everyone's operations were so skillful, as if they had done it no less than ten times - because they had really done it, and it was definitely more than ten times.

It was precisely for this reason that the knight of the Levent family had this question; in his eyes, the Holy War Army was clearly moving from one victory to another under the leadership of the legion commander and his cousin, and it was almost certain that He will win the final victory and impress the entire Jihadi Army. What could be wrong?

But Borre Levent just frowned and didn't want to explain.

He actually didn't know what the problem was. He just felt that he was very lucky. He always ran into shooting troops with low combat effectiveness and lacked command and adaptability. All of them really showed great flexibility and quick response and firepower in Black Reef Port. The main force of the ferocious Storm Legion "accidentally" missed him.

This group of people simply ran faster than rabbits. It was as if they deliberately sent out a signal to frighten these pagans and turned it into a stimulant for them. As soon as they saw their marching traces, they immediately disappeared at the speed of light, and even the traces behind them disappeared. If you don't stay, you will definitely not cause any trouble to the Jihadi Army.

If it is only once or twice, or two or three times, it can be explained with high EQ that the enemy on the other side has a deep understanding of the enemy's strength and will not engage in meaningless struggles; but if the situation is too frequent, Borre Levent can only think with low EQ. Are the Clovis people on the opposite side planning to use their army of indigenous slaves to consume their own ammunition?

Having said that, my own tactics of superior force encirclement and suppression put a lot of pressure on logistics; if Anson Bach on the opposite side was really shameless and had no bottom line, exchanging lives for lead bullets, it would indeed be a bit of a headache.

Especially when facing this group of indigenous warriors who don't like to open fire and like to wield axes to chop, and who are extremely arrogant, the cost of using cold weapons is too heavy. If the Jihad Army doesn't want to have dozens of them in every battle, Soldiers are short of arms and legs, so it is more cost-effective to fight.

As for why there are never enough main forces of the Storm Legion... it can only be because the enemy has gathered the main forces behind, preparing to ambush them once and for all.

"Have the cavalry sent to Straw Town to search for the enemy come back?" Borre Levent said solemnly:

"It's been two days since the armed forces reconnoitred Gray Snow Town from the alley, but there's no news at all? And... Master Wuying, is there any news about the Judgment Knights' actions?"

"Uh...this really doesn't exist!"

The knight scratching his head desperately did not dare to neglect, but he did not dare to lie: "Since we set off, no one knows any news about Master Wuying; the only thing is the words he said when he left."

"Which sentence?"

"Anson Bach is the target designated by the Holy See." The knight said: "When the Holy See issued the order, it specifically designated two targets that must be captured alive, and he is one of them."

capture?

Borei's expression was a little strange. He carefully recalled the information he had obtained, and he really couldn't figure out the value of capturing a Clovis officer alive.

Even if he had to be captured alive, he should be at the level of Lord Louis Bernard... He twitched his throat, glanced at the soldiers who were still busy around him, carefully approached the knight and said, "What about the other one, is it Bell?" The young master from the Na family?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not him!"

"You don't even know, how can you be so sure?"

"Because Master Wuying has also made it clear that if Sir Louis is captured by the Holy War Army, the Holy See will not interfere; but if it falls into the hands of the Judgment Knights, he will never be left alive." The knight said nervously:

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems that Sir Louis hid a fugitive from the Old Gods of the Knights, and allowed the latter to appear openly and openly in front of the outside world many times. The Knights of Judgment were particularly dissatisfied and forcibly removed from the Holy See. The claimants are coming, and they will not care about the life or death of the heir to the Grand Duchy of Adlan!"

"Is life and death... not that serious?"

"That's not all. When we asked Master Wuying, he took out a notepad similar to a list from his body and flipped through it a few times before telling us." The knight twitched his throat, and his body suddenly trembled. :

"I took a few peeks, and the name on it was at least three or three digits long!"

"The fugitives from the Tribunal, the targets of the Judgment Knights, suspected heretical organizations, the remnants of the Universal Sect, the Old God Sect organizations and families... various names, the Judgment Knights are not to spread doctrines, but to open up the world. Here comes the killing spree!”

"Anson Bach, his name and the other one are marked separately in red writing, saying that they must be captured alive; as for the second name... the adult turned the pages too fast, and he really didn't have time to see clearly."

"But it seems, it seems to be a woman's name, uh, it just seems!"

It turned out to be like this... Bo Lei was stunned. He was a little unconcerned at first when he thought that his current opponent was someone that even the Vatican had named and wanted to capture alive, and he instantly became nervous.

But the next second, he suddenly relaxed a lot - since the opponent was someone who must be captured alive, and his military actions were cooperating with the actions of the Judgment Knights and the Holy See, then he could only succeed, not Failure.

So I don't have to worry about Anson Bach's life or death at all, he is definitely dead; all that needs to be considered is how to effectively defeat or even completely annihilate his Storm Legion and Shooting Army.

The key is whether you can seize the opportunity to defeat the group of Clovis people who overestimate their capabilities before and after Anson Bach is arrested, and ensure that the actions of the Judgment Knights will not be affected.

Thinking this way, Borre Levent, who had been confused just now, suddenly became confident. His speed was so fast that the Levent Knight beside him was startled. He almost thought that his uncle's regiment commander was too frightened and lost his mind. Too normal.

"Legion Commander...Legion Commander...Uncle Bo Lei Tang...Bo Lei Tang..."

"Immediately send out messengers to notify the scattered thousand-man regiments and half-divisions. Immediately start the next stage of action and gather and advance!" Borre Levent raised his hand to interrupt the knight's cautious call, and raised his right hand with high spirits. Yiyang:

"Tell them that there is no need to send messengers to communicate with me and rendezvous. If you really can't find an army that can easily assemble with each other, just move forward at full speed; any officer who uses any excuse to slow down or delay the march, regardless of status, the same level or even the next level. All officers can be executed and will be replaced in order!"

"As you command!"

Knight Levent shouted loudly, but after a second he suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back: "Legion Commander, where are we going to attack?"

"Straw Town!" Borre Levent struck down with his right hand, his eyes confident:

"Tell the soldiers that the Ring of Order is waiting for us in Straw Town, and will give the warriors who fight for Him a meaningful victory!"
