Chapter 534

Dewey is very clear that he is far from being a qualified soldier. In the northwest, he really had a very leisurely life. He didn't spend a day in the army, he didn't really lead soldiers, he didn't really March and fight. Even though he went through two actual battles: the battle of giliat City, he only had less than 1000 troops under his command, which was just a small group of cavalry raids. He didn't have much experience in marching. Besides, it was little 250 Gaida, the apprentice of general 250, who really commanded the army that time.

In the second battle of annihilating the northwest army, Dewey was in charge of overall planning.

Therefore, in the face of these young people drawn from military barracks all over the mainland, Dewey was very careful to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses.

He is known as the Dean, but he doesn't take the real basic courses of marching and fighting. Camisillo can't give all the courses to Duwei. After all, Duwei is the Duke of tulip! You can't expect to use a Duke as a coolie.

Therefore, for all the military courses of the army of the Roland Empire, such as marching, fighting, infantry and cavalry operation, camping, receiving the enemy and so on, the military command has sent some experienced veteran officers to teach these basic courses.

What Dewey has to do is set up a special course. This course is called "deduction course" by Dewey.

He asked his own people to make several sets of huge sand tables. The first one was his own giliat city. He made a miniature model completely according to the terrain around giliat city. Then he moved it to the classroom and told more than 100 students about the details of the battle of giliat city.

However, Du Wei only explained the comparison of forces between the two sides, as well as the city defense forces. The number of Rangers and cavalry under the city, the location and distribution of barracks, and morale, etc

However, Dewey doesn't talk about how the fighting process is completed!

"Everyone can use their heads and pretend that if you were commander in chief, how would you finish the war! Everyone has to think about it! Count all the resources you have. Then make a deduction! "

Even, Dewey did not restrict these officers to play the role of imperial army only in the deduction! He even specially selected half of the people, let them pretend to be the commander of grassland cavalry to think!

In the classroom, the officers' interest suddenly increased!

After all, in peacetime, most of these officers did not experience real war, but only trained in the local army. No experience in real war. We are still very interested in this way of "simulation".

As a result, there were 108 officers in groups of two. They played the roles of tulip family army and grassland army of both sides in the battle to defend giliat city. Everyone has a day to get familiar with all the information and the terrain on the sand table. And then made a deduction

This process is wonderful!

As a matter of fact, duvier's victory in the battle of giliat was the reason why he was able to win. It's really a fluke! There is no doubt that tulip family is an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness of both sides!

The only winning factor is that he has the Decepticon team beyond this era! It was also the first time that the Decepticon team appeared on the mainland, and it was also the first time that the "air force" appeared on the mainland!

The world's first "air and ground cooperative operation"!! But also the use of "gunpowder" this hot weapon!

In this deduction, Dewey deliberately did not include this condition in it at the beginning. in other words. The officer who plays the commander of tulip family must complete without air power and gunpowder

As a result, the process of deduction is strange!

According to the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, the factors such as the grain and grass, materials, morale and so on have been fully considered. The officers came up with all sorts of strange ways of fighting. For example, some officers beat the city of giliat into a protracted city wall defense battle. Almost all the soldiers in the city were used on the wall, relying on the wall and the other side to consume troops.

In the end, the slaves in the city were also organized into cities to resist. Relying on several officers to arbitrate and calculate the proportion of losses and so on. It comes to a conclusion that giliat city can't be defended! The other side has 20000 troops, but tulip family has less than 1000 people in the city! And most slaves. No combat experience at all! It is difficult for the slaves who take up arms to pose much threat to the elite soldiers on the grassland.

Some officers simply put forward the idea: since grassland people are raiding, they can't spend a long time, they can only spend time with them!

Even finally developed: give up the city wall, use the complex terrain of giliat City, and fight with each other in the street! In the street battle, the grassland people's cavalry lost the broad terrain, unable to launch the group charge advantage, and the tulip family soldiers can rely on the city's houses, streets, buildings, and so on to resist and harass.

Other officers made full use of the hundreds of cavalry reinforcements led by Dewey outside the city! Some officers even come up with all kinds of strange cavalry harassment tactics! Hundreds of cavalry outside the city were divided into many teams to harass the grassland people under the city! The meaning of this proposition is very clear: anyway, there are only a few hundred of our cavalry, and a few hundred of them charge against 20000 people, which has no effect at all. Then we should spread out and use the tactics of harassment to harass the grassland people, such as pretending to feint day and night, making the enemy tired, poisoning the water, sneaking attacks on the other party's scouts and so on

But the other side also has it!

Someone immediately pointed out the mistake of this method! Because if they are more mobile than cavalry, the grassland people's iron cavalry is stronger than the Imperial Army in this aspect! Scatter hundreds of cavalry and play harassment tactics? Grassland people's cavalry can easily spread out a few teams, and then wipe out these harassment teams!

Because we all think that grassland people's cavalry, mobility is stronger than the imperial cavalry!

There are also people who fantasize that once the practice of "cutting off food" is put forward, Du Wei can't help laughing.

Obviously, these officers have a good foundation. They have read a lot of military books and regulations of this era, and they have enough imagination, but the biggest defect is that they are not practical! In other words, no actual combat experience!

Dewey immediately pointed out that it was impossible to cut off food! Because there is no so-called "grain road" for the 20000 cavalry of grassland people!

They don't have a grain team! When the grassland people and land forces fight, they always carry with them about 15 days' rations! The only burden is the small amount of grass they carry. This is almost the only burden of the grassland Army (because the horses can't only eat the grass in the field, they have to eat hay, otherwise they will lose their fighting power quickly). The grassland people's combat methods have always been very barbaric: they carry a small amount of soldiers' rations and hay, maintain the army's assault mobility, and when they need supplies, they simply "supply them on the spot", the so-called supply on the spot. It's burning, killing and looting!!

Of course, if the grassland people's army is on a large scale, there will be no "grain road". They are used to driving a large group of cattle and sheep directly behind the army! This is what they are carrying!

The rehearsal lasted three days, and it turned out that almost all the officers who played a part in the tulip family. In the deduction, they were completely lost to the party who played the grassland man. Among them, if we can make our own side persist for more than ten days in the process of reasoning and fighting, we are already the best.

In the first round, the best result is the knight of arol!

Although he is also a junior officer, but after all, he is different from those students who visited the hospital on paper. He has actual combat experience, and he has also experienced the battle of giliat. Moreover, he also has courage and imagination!

He played a lot of tricks when he played the commander-in-chief of the tulip family. He did not put the slaves in formation on the wall, but symbolically let his army resist on the wall for three days, then all the troops withdrew to the city and gave up the wall to each other!

He skillfully arranged a street fight and a war of attrition, making use of all the buildings and facilities in the city. And his deployment of forces is very reasonable, almost a layer of consumption of the other side's forces, so that the other side to advance more and more slowly! And he used most of the slave formation in the urban street fighting! His reason is very good: if you go to the wall for frontal defense, a slave with weapons will never beat the enemy's elite soldiers!

But if it's street fighting, slaves will have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain! This advantage can at least pull in some of the combat effectiveness gap between the two sides! Although this advantage is very small, but in the war. As the commander of the inferior side. We must make full use of all the advantages we have!

Moreover, he did not blindly let hundreds of cavalry reinforcements outside the city carry out simple harassment. Instead, they concentrated their forces to launch a feint attack on the grassland people one by one! I don't get entangled with each other every time. Every time, he would use the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, leaving a team of people to break off, and let most of the cavalry quickly leave the battlefield. This method made his cavalry less and less, but successfully delayed the other side's time!

"The enemy has occupied the city wall and needs to send troops to guard it! In the street battle, we have occupied streets and important buildings one by one. We also need to send people to guard them!! In this way, the more they advance, the less mobile forces they have! I will not stick to every place, but deliberately relax a few places for the other party to occupy, but can achieve the effect of dispersing the power of the other party! "

That's what arol said at the end, even though he failed in the end. But he successfully dragged on the grassland people for 18 days! This is the best result in this deduction!

Of course, in Dewey's opinion, under normal circumstances, if the garrison can drag on for 18 days, it can almost be regarded as a success, because the grassland people are Raiders! Eighteen days later, enough Imperial troops from the rear were able to mobilize a large number of reinforcements.

However, in the battle of giliat, the northwest army besieged Loulan City, making it impossible for Dewey to mobilize all his troops to help giliat city! That's why Dewey still failed to judge arol!

The same group of officers who fought with Alor suffered a lot from Alor in 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's performance is also good. As a Wuxun family, he received a good education since childhood, and... He also worked as an apprentice with the old fox in blue ocean for a while!

What makes Dewey's eyes bright is that Gabriel makes full use of climate factors in his deduction!

He also cleverly used a condition: night!!

After all, this era is not the advanced technology era in Duwei's previous life. The production level and people's living conditions in this era are not good. From the perspective of people's physique, most people can only eat enough, but from the perspective of nutrition intake, most people's nutrition is unscientific. After all, this is the living standard. It's good to eat enough! But this caused a subtle factor: because of malnutrition, most people in this era have night blindness! In other words, at night, more than half of the soldiers will not be able to see!! Gabriel made full use of this condition and succeeded in delaying for a few more days. Generally speaking, the cadets are full of interest in this kind of deduction, and they are very excited about this kind of addictive command and combat.
