The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 510 Analysis of the Overall Combat Situation
Inside Zhang Qiang's manor in Tusculum Village, on the tallest watchtower.

This is the commanding height of Tusculum Village. Generally, castles in the cold weapon era are built on towering cliffs, or in the middle of a steep mountain, or even on the top of a hill or on a slope, in order to rely on the advantages of the terrain for defense. enemy.

Zhang Qiang's manor, like Tusculum Village, has been destroyed by the Kujit army.

No way, it is impossible for a village to resist the Kujit army. In order to maintain the supplies of the army, the Kujit people have always supported war with war, just like the Japanese and Mongolian armies in the modern world, but here, the game world is not It's not the unique method of the Kujit people, but the fighting method of the lords of the entire Calradia continent.

Generally, lords have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get in touch with the enemy, and sometimes even encounter them in the wilderness. Their current logistics conditions are generally not good, and they don’t have a complete logistics support system like the later generations in the real world. Merchants who follow the army will not follow you at all when there is no profit to be made, or when your army is too weak. They follow you to share some spoils or gain some benefits with you.

Therefore, they will not be loyal to your army. They only want to sell goods to your army, or buy some combat items from your army, and sell prisoners or something. This is a dangerous thing, but It is the most profitable thing in the Calradia continent.

And those troops of the lord's army who can't get supplies, or because the accompanying merchants are not happy, are likely to face the dilemma of not being able to buy food and supplies even if you have enough cold and hard dinars, so they mainly rely on It is better to plunder the enemy's villages and territories to guarantee their army. How to put it, they are a group of robbers. You cannot say that they are robbers here, because this is a very normal thing, even those unlucky civilians do not think This is an abnormal thing.

What they think about is who will survive under their leadership, who will protect them, and if the enemy killed their family members, who will they join to resist the enemy, rather than saying that in fact, this kind of army that survives by plundering, the lord is the robber.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of civilized robber, a legal act. Of course, this has also caused the Calradia continent to fall into hatred and continuous wars for a long time. Because they nourished the land with their bodies and blood, the land became more fertile, but there were fewer and fewer people.

As a person in the real world, Zhang Qiang is generally opposed to this method, but he can't prevent his territory from being robbed by these lords, because when he is not strong enough to protect his lord's army and territory, he will go to save it. These civilians.

He is a great nobleman.

It wasn't before, but now it is. He is already the lord of three castles, and he will soon own a fourth, a city. With a city, he is a member of the ranks of the great nobles. Before, not long ago, but one In the past month, he has just stepped into the ranks of powerful nobles and earls who have the right to speak. Although he can express his opinions in the kingdom's parliament, no one will listen to you if you say it, and you may not be taken by others if you don't say it. If you want to say it, but if you want to say it, it will definitely arouse the respect and win over others.

Because for your rights?

Owning the city guarantees his right to rule, at least in terms of strength, he has the basis for rule.

There is no lack of prestige quotient, he already has a high reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia, and he is also the spokesperson of the Kingdom of Swadia in this area.

Since the Halma area and the surrounding area of ​​​​Dherim City have not been recovered, his territory is still thousands of kilometers away from the hinterland of the Kingdom of Swadia, and two thousand kilometers away from the capital city of Palavon, so he He was isolated from the rights of the Kingdom of Swadia, but he was still the lord of the Kingdom of Swadia, representing the Kingdom of Swadia, so he was the spokesperson of the Kingdom of Swadia here.

And what he has to undertake is an all-out war with the Kingdom of Kujit, which declared war on the Kingdom of Swadia. At present, it seems that the war between him and the Kingdom of Kujit is evenly matched, and he still has a slight upper hand.

Today is the critical moment to decide who can win in the end.

Looking at the burned manor, the ruined village in the wasteland near the city, and the few thousand Tusculum villagers after the return, Zhang Qiang stood on the only watchtower that was not destroyed, rowing Soldiers lined up to resist the attack of the Kugits.

Rolf stood behind Zhang Qiang as before, but his eyes didn't know where to look. He looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and Zhang Qiang didn't care if he was disrespectful to him. That's it, the majestic second son of the Rolf family, King of Nord, the heroic pirate leader, the brother of King Ragnar, and the former vanguard of the Rolf family, although he is not the heir of the family, but he has left a legacy in his body. With the orthodox blood of a true, historic nobleman.

Moreover, he is loyal to himself, fights for himself, and has never complained, of course it is not without complaints, but he who betrayed Ragnar once, after being expelled by the family, his wounded heart has not been repaired until now. Maybe there is still a kind of sentimentality and pimples in his heart, but he is just unwilling to express it, and of course his attitude is also a manifestation, a manifestation of self-exile and self-depression. He puts all his energy into it. Putting it into force and fighting, he occasionally showed his talent as an earl lord.

Of course, his appearance is no surprise to the old earls such as Earl Kles and the Earl of Sweden. They have never seen anything. Besides, Rolf is just Zhang Qiang's most capable fighter They are just a heroic knight. They are now dignified Earls, and they have a good relationship with themselves. They have a high reputation and are invincible. They are around Earl Zhang Qiang, a virtuous corporal, and they don’t want to criticize Rolf for a little loyalty. They don’t have that time. .

At the moment they are reporting to Zhang Qiang the situation of some troops and the deployment of some Kujit people.

Earl Kles pointed to the current parchment map and said to Zhang Qiang: "Your Excellency, Earl Zhang Qiang, we have decided to put the villagers of the original Tusculum Village in the front line and rely on the front line of Tusculum Village. The valleys and hills of the enemy are confronted with a part of the enemy, which is also the main attacking cannon fodder..."

Zhang Qiang held his chin in his hand, "How many villagers join us to defend the village territory with us?"

The Earl of Sweden took up the conversation, "About [-] villagers, they hate the Kujit who robbed them very much, they are willing to use their blood to buy us time to deploy troops, and at the same time consume the enemy's cannon fodder force."

Zhang Qiang has no way to use cannon fodder troops to destroy the enemy's cannon fodder troops. This is the way of fighting in Calradia.

He has more than 8000 troops of more than 9000 people, plus [-] cannon fodder troops, which are only in the early [-]s. In this way, he needs to use the terrain and cannon fodder troops to delay and consume the enemy's troops as much as possible, so as to equalize the strength of himself and the enemy. The battle in the age of weapons is actually to see who has more cannon fodder troops and can consume more of the enemy's troops. In the final decisive battle, he will go to the elite troops. He can't end every battle and go to the elite. After all, he is an earl now, and he still owns four cities. The great earl lord, the great nobleman, will need others to fight for him in the future, so he will get the benefit of being in command.

With the rise of his status, he also has the same treatment as he used to. He used to charge for others, his troops and strength were very small, and he had to fight every battle in person, and he didn't need it now.

Someone else charged for him.

Earl Kles continued: "Our troops need to adjust their deployment according to the movement of the enemy's troops, and the decisive battle of tens of thousands of people, the terrain is narrow, it is impossible for us to swarm up and enter in batches like the battles of hundreds of people before. Fighting, and given the terrain of Tusculum Village, the number of troops that can be deployed is only a few hundred, and the maximum is no more than 500, so it is also appropriate for us to send a combat force of 200."

Zhang Qiang continued to ask: "What about the other troops?"

Earl Kles said: "For the other troops, we divide them into several parts. In general, there are three major parts. The Earl of Sweden leads the infantry. His troops are in the village. If the enemy defeats the cannon fodder troops outside the village, the Earl of Sweden Relying on the defense of the village, Fatis's troops were deployed in the woods behind the village, waiting for changes in the battle, ready to fight at any time.

There is a large plain in front of him, hilly plain, although it is not conducive to cavalry combat, but when the enemy rushes here, their cavalry must dismount and fight under the constraints of the terrain, because we will send archers to ambush on the high ground on both sides of the village, waiting When the enemy's cavalry comes up, once they are attacked, the enemy's cavalry can only dismount and fight. The narrow terrain is not conducive to the cavalry's impact.Therefore, we can weaken the enemy's cavalry, and we can use the cavalry to attack the dismounted infantry of the enemy's cavalry, which is very disadvantageous for the Kujit. "

Zhang Qiang glanced at Earl Claes. His tactical level was still very high. It seemed that his tactical skills must have reached level six if he could come up with such a tactic.

And I remember that Earl of Sweden's tactics are also very high, about level 4. These days, um, it seems that it has been about two years since the first battle in Norma Village. His tactics must have improved, so it is considered level 5.

This is higher than my current tactical skill level 4. I learned my tactics from him. Of course, I learned them from Lesarit's tactics skill book at the beginning, but as a heroic knight, a major The tactics of knights in infantry battles are only the highest level. What I have learned is only level 1 tactics. It is difficult for students to surpass the teacher. Of course, learning with a more advanced teacher to surpass the previous teacher is another matter.

There are also those with good talent, direct tactics level 4 and level 5, but Zhang Qiang has not encountered such a master so far. His level 3 tactics were learned in battle after reading Earl Reyes' knight training.

Tactics level 4 is learned from the Vikia battle.

Arranged by a person with a sixth level of tactics to guide the tactics, he doesn't even need to use his brain, but he is the commander in chief and the employer after all, and he is fighting for himself. What Zhang Qiang has to do is to adjust the tactics according to the development of the situation, Also show your existence and let everyone know that he is not a reckless Earl commanding a battle, so that not many people will convince you.

It was his own tactics that defeated the Sultanate of Sarande in the battle of Vikia. Even the Earl of Siwa had to admire it. It was also at that time that he made friends with Earl Kles and Count Sweden. He really integrated and made friends. In the past, he was just a little knight in their eyes, and he was no longer in the eyes of old earls like them when he was promoted to a baron.

After Earl Cress finished speaking, Zhang Qiang clicked on the front, "We can't let the enemy consume our cannon fodder soldiers for nothing. After these villagers have finished this battle, the surviving soldiers will be tempered, so that they will become militiamen, so We can't consume all of them. Let Dronton bring the crossbowmen up, and use long-range crossbow bolts to consume some enemies first, at least so that the enemies can't approach us so calmly. Of course, there can't be too many people. Send a hundred crossbowmen, and then Zhang Qiang looked back at Rolf. Rolf brought his heroic knight troops, about 100 people to resist. They are mainly infantry, so the enemy's cannon fodder consumption will increase. The more consumption, the better for us. , we paid only two hundred elites, and if the enemy can consume more than 1000 people, we will be considered victorious."

Earl Cress said: "Well, that's not bad. Our villagers' combat effectiveness and armament are not good enough. They are all farmers with wooden planks and kitchen knives. Even if there are some militiamen who were originally village guards, their overall combat effectiveness is not good. The Kujit people grew up on horses since they were young. All of them have bows and arrows, and their archery skills are good. Even if they are cannon fodder, they are more effective than our farmers. If we join two hundred elites, we can make our The strength of the soldiers has increased, and they are almost as good as them."

Zhang Qiang asked after Earl Kles finished speaking, "In your opinion, how big is our advantage in this battle?"

Earl Cress pondered for a while and said: "If 1 people are against 9000 people, or maybe 7000 people, generally speaking, our advantage is minus seven. From the comparison of the strength of fighters, our advantage With negative six, we probably have a winning percentage of more than 40.00%."

The Earl of Sweden said: "In terms of terrain, logistics, and people, the enemy is invading, and we are defending and defending, so we can gain some advantages. I think the winning rate is 50.00%, and the advantage is minus five."

Zhang Qiang was a little heavy, the situation was not good for him, Earl Cress said: "However, if we win this battle, our reputation will be around 3000, and the ruling power will be 10, but it depends on our victory in the end. , if it's a big victory, we don't lose too much, we will increase some, if it's a general victory, we may gain about two thousand prestige, and the ruling power is 3 to 4."

Zhang Qiang nodded, "Okay, the outcome is a battle, get ready, I don't think the enemy will give us too much time."

The Earl of Tesweden said: "The above-mentioned things have been arranged properly, just add the troops you mentioned."
