Chapter 534 [Paper Talking]

Dewey made it clear that he was far from being a qualified soldier. In the northwest, he lived a very relaxed life, he had not spent a day in the army, he had not really taken soldiers, he had not really marched in the war. Even if he went through two real battles: defending the city of Gilliard, he had less than 1,000 troops under his command. It was just a small cavalry raid. There was not much marching experience in it, and besides, the real commander of the army was General 2005's apprentice, Junior 250 Qaeda.

In the second Northwest Legion annihilation war, Dewey sat in the overall position.

So, in the face of these young men drawn directly from military camps across the continent, Dewey was cautiously stretching away.

He was named Dean, but he didn't do the real basic marching classes - Camisillo couldn't have given all the classes to Dewey, the Duchess of Tulips after all! You can't expect to use a Duchess as a labor force.

So, for all the military courses of the Roland Empire, such as marching, battle, infantry cavalry docks, battalions, enemy takeovers, etc., these basic courses, the Military Commander's Department has transferred some experienced veteran officers to teach.

And what Dewey is going to do is run a special course on its own. This course is what Dewey calls a "deduction lesson."

He had his own people build a couple of giant sand plates, the first of which was his own Gilliant City, built a miniaturized model entirely along the terrain around Gilliant City, and then moved into the classroom, telling more than a hundred participants the full details of that Gilliant City defense battle.

However, Dewey only explained the force comparison between the two sides, as well as the city's defense forces, the number of Prairie cavalry under the city, the location, distribution, and morale of the battalion…

But Dewey doesn't talk about how the battle is done!

“Everyone can move their minds. Imagine, if you were Commander, how would you complete this war! Everybody's gonna think about it! Count all the resources in your hand and make a deduction! ”

Even Dewey doesn't restrict these officers from playing the role of the Imperial Army when they make the premiere! He even singled out half the men to think as commanders of the Prairie Cavalry!

Above the classroom, the officers' interest grew!

After all, in times of peace, most of these officers have not experienced real war, but have no experience in training and playing… real war in local armies. And people are still interested in doing this in a “simulated" way.

As a result, 108 officers, in groups of two, each played the Tulip Family Army and the Prairie Army of the two sides of the Guilliard City Defense War. Everyone has one day to familiarize themselves with all the information and the terrain on the sand plate. Then a deduction was made...

This is a wonderful process!

In fact, Dewey was truly fortunate to have won the Gilliard City Defense Battle! The Tulip family is undoubtedly an absolute disadvantage in terms of force strength and combat power on both sides!

The only winning factor is that he has a hegemonic Tiger Squad that goes beyond this era! It was also the first time that the Tiger Team appeared on the mainland and the first time that the Air Force appeared on the mainland!

The world's first "concerted air and ground battle”!! And with a thermal weapon like "gunpowder"!

And in this deduction, Dewey, at the beginning, deliberately failed to assume that the condition was inside. In other words, an officer who plays commander of the Tulip family must be accomplished without air force and gunpowder...

As a result, the process of postulating is strange!

Due consideration is given to factors such as grass, supplies, morale, etc. in the possession of both sides based on a military comparison. These officers came up with a strange way of fighting. Some officers, for example, fought the Gilliant City Guard for a protracted battle of city wall guards. Nearly all of the soldiers in the city were used on the walls, relying on the walls and the other to consume their strength.

Finally, the slaves of the city were also castrated to resist the city, relying on several officers to arbitrate and calculate the loss ratio, and so on, to conclude that the city of Gillatte is definitely indefensible! The other side has 20,000 troops, and the Tulip family has less than 1,000 men in the city! And most slaves, they don't have any combat experience! Slaves who take up arms have difficulty in posing many threats to elite soldiers in the grasslands.

Some officers simply came up with the idea that, since the Prairie were raids, they would certainly not be able to spend long periods of time with them!

Even developed: abandon the walls, take advantage of the complex terrain of the city of Gilliard, and fight each other in alleyways! During the alley war, the prairie cavalry lost its wide terrain and was unable to mount a group battle, while Tulip soldiers could rely on the city's houses, streets, buildings, etc. for resistance and harassment.

And the rest of the officers took full advantage of the hundreds of cavalry reinforcements led by Dewey outside the city! Some officers even came up with all sorts of strange cavalry harassment tactics! Split hundreds of cavalry outside the city into many squads to harass the grasslands under the city! The idea is clear: there are only a few hundred of our cavalry, and hundreds of them strike at 20,000, and they have no role whatsoever. Then simply spread out, beat up the harassment tactics, use the cavalry's power to harass the prairie people, such as pretending to attack day and night, exhausting the enemy, poisoning the water, sneaking up on each other's scouts, etc...

But so did the opposition!

Someone immediately and rudely pointed out the error of this method! Because if it's more powered than a cavalry, the Prairie Iron Rider is stronger than the Imperial Army in this regard! Split up hundreds of cavalry for harassment tactics? Prairie cavalry can also easily disperse several teams and destroy these harassment squads!

Because everyone thinks that prairie cavalry is more powerful than imperial cavalry!

There are also fantasies of “food cuts” - an approach that makes Dewey laughable as soon as it is proposed.

Obviously, these officers have a good bottom line, they've seen a lot of military books and rules of combat in this era, and they have enough imagination, but the biggest flaw is that… is impractical! That means no field experience!

Dewey pointed out immediately that cutting food was simply impossible! Because the Prairie Man's 20,000 iron rides, there is no so-called "food supply” at all!

They don't have a food convoy! The Prairie Army used to carry rations with them for about 15 days in battle! The only redundancy is the small amount of grass they carry, which is almost the only redundancy in the prairie army (because horses can't just eat wild grass, horses must eat hay, otherwise they quickly lose their fighting power). The prairie's methods of warfare have always been barbaric: carrying a small amount of soldiers' rations, a small amount of hay, maintaining the power of the army's assault aircraft, and simply “replenishing them on the spot” when supplies are needed. The so-called replenishment on the spot is burning and looting!!

Of course, the prairie army, if it were a massive expedition, would not have any "food course”, they are used to driving large herds of cattle and sheep directly behind the army! That's the weight of their harness!

The deduction lasted three days, and almost all officers who played the Tulip family completely lost the deduction to the prairie side. It's already a top player if you can push yourself into battle for more than ten days.

In the first round, the best performers were the Knights of Aroll!

Although he is also a junior officer, after all, unlike his fellow paper visitors, he has practical combat experience and has personally experienced the city of Gilliard. Besides, he doesn't lack courage and imagination!

He played a lot of tricks as commander of the Tulip Army. Instead of forming slaves on the walls, he symbolically withdrew them all to the city after three days of resistance on the walls and gave them to each other!

He cleverly arranged an alley battle and a war of attrition, taking advantage of all the buildings and facilities in the city, and he arranged a very reasonable force, almost one floor at a time, depleting each other's forces, slowing each other down! And he used most of the slaves in formation, in alley warfare in the city! He has good reason: a slave with a weapon can never beat an enemy's elite soldier if he defends himself on the front of the wall!

But if it's an alley war, slaves will have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain! This advantage can at least pull in some of the battle power gaps between the two sides! While this advantage is small - in combat, the commander-in-chief, as a disadvantaged party, must take full advantage of all the advantages he possesses!

Moreover, he did not simply harass hundreds of cavalry reinforcements outside the city. It's a concentrated attack on the prairie! Every time he doesn't tangle with each other, he uses the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, leaving his team behind to break off, quickly removing most of his cavalry from the battlefield - a method that makes his cavalry fewer and fewer, but successfully delays each other's time!

“The enemy has taken over the walls and needs to send troops! During the alley war, we occupied one street at a time, one important building at a time, and needed to be guarded!! The further they advance, the less manoeuvre they have! I will not die everywhere, but deliberately relax a few places for the other to occupy, but I can achieve the effect of dissipating the other's power! ”

Yalol said this in his final summary - although he also failed in the end. But he succeeded in dragging the prairies for 18 days! This is the best part of the show!

Of course, in Dewey's view, normally, if the garrison dragged on for 18 days, it could almost be a success - because the Prairie Man raided! Eighteen days later, the Imperial Army in the rear had mobilized enough reinforcements.

However, the Northwest Legion besieged Lulan City during the Gilliant Defense Battle, preventing Dewey from mobilizing all of his own troops to assist Gilliant City! So Dewey still thinks Aroll's a loser!

The same group of officers who confronted Yalol had suffered enough from the deduction, but in the end, the captain appointed by Dewey was finally recognized by many members of the team.

It is worth mentioning that Gabriel also did well. As a Wuhun, he was well educated as a child, and... he was an apprentice to that old fox in the Blue Sea for a while!

What shines Dewey's eyes is that Gabriel is making the most of even the climatic factors!

He also skilfully took advantage of a condition: Night!!

After all, this is not the advanced technology era of Dewey's past life. This era's production level and people's living conditions are not good. In terms of human physique, most people can only eat enough, but in terms of nutritional intake, most people are extremely unscientific about nutrition - after all, this is how the standard of living is, it's good to eat!

But this creates a subtle factor: because of malnutrition, most people in this era are night blind! That means more than half of the soldiers will be invisible from one night to the next!!

Gabriel took full advantage of this condition and succeeded in delaying it for a few more days.

Overall, officers and cadets are interested in this deduction, and they are very excited about this drunken command battle.
