v9 Chapter 31： Promotions and Authorizations

"Look, Patroclus will make more use of the 500 mountain reconnaissance team soldiers in his hands, and they are the key to the final victory."

Uh ...

The officers watching the battle whispered, the two protagonists on the field were still staring at the map, thinking hard.

At this time, Tormead once again said: "I declare that the tactical assessment has officially started!"

"When!" A crisp bell rang, and the two protagonists stood up at the same time and stepped back a few steps. Ten soldiers carried a few wide wooden boards into the arena and erected on the wooden board maps, respectively. Of course, Sextus has a defensive advantage. He can see a larger range of the map, while Patroclus's sight is limited to the southwest corner of the map.

Several tactical executives also stood next to the two protagonists holding tactical chess pieces. These tactical chess pieces are small infantry, light infantry, javelin, cavalry and other small wooden sculptures. When they are placed on the map, they are serious. The tactical assessment has a little fun in the game.

At this time, Matonis picked up two dice and threw a "7". After the referees picked up the table for comparison, they said loudly, "Day 1, heavy rain!"

After listening to the two protagonists, after thinking, they used white pens to learn the measures they took on the small wooden board they carried on the first day, and then the executive took their wooden boards to the referee seat.

The referees decided that it was feasible after looking at the order given on the wooden board.

As a result, the executive began to place tactical pieces on the map in accordance with the order on the board.

Mattonis threw a good shot again, then glanced at Patroclus, and said aloud, "The second day of heavy rain!"

Suddenly there was a small commotion among the spectator officers around the puppet, but Patroclus's expression remained unchanged. After thinking, he wrote down his decision again.

……………………………………

While most of the officers in the Turui Barracks gathered in the tactical training room and watched the two of them for assessment, King Daphs, accompanied by the Minister of Military Affairs, Alexis, arrived at the Turui Barracks.

奥 The first army commander, Leo Tizides, hurried to greet him.

I was told that tactical assessments were going on in the barracks. Davers ordered Leotizides not to inform them for the time being, and took the guards to the military conference room to wait.

"Prosousus, who do you think will win?" Davos talked to Leotidides.

"Patroclus was flexible and decisive in his actions; Sextus was very careful and calm, and both were excellent officers. According to the information I got, during this assessment, Seck Stous was in charge of defense, and Patroclus was in charge of offense. This allocation is in line with their combat style, but defense is more dominant in mountainous operations. Patrocross may need a little luck to win. "

"Yes, luck is an important factor in the victory in a war. It is determined by the gods. But in the assessment, it is determined by the referee's luck ..." Daves joked A sentence, then turned the topic: "What's your opinion on whether to send a legion to the border to build a fortress defense this time?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's a problem to send various legions to the border for more than half a year. In fact, each legion doesn't spend much time at the border, and there are nearly 20 legions in the kingdom. It will take at least a few rounds. Years later, let ’s say that these legionnaire soldiers have multiple slaves in their homes, and they have enough labor in their homes to do the housework ... ”Leotizides replied without hesitation.

Hippopolis slid his lips aside and slandered in his heart: Of course Prosousus would say so, in your eyes, is there anything other than military! Since you became the first legionnaire's legionnaire, the citizens of the entire Turui region have been tormented by you, and have given you a nickname "Iron Man" ...

Davers had a serious listening expression and nodded from time to time.

The two chatted for a while, and Davers seemed to remember something, and asked, "Prosousus, haven't you been home in the past six months?"

Immediately, Leo Tizides answered, "Your Majesty, I have just taken over the First Army and want to become familiar with this Army as soon as possible, so-"

Davers waved his hand and persuaded with concern: "Don't worry too much. From the current situation, there will be no big war in the kingdom in a short time, and the First Army will not be sent to the battlefield in a short time. What you have is time to become familiar with the First Army. You still have to make time and go back to accompany your family! Your home is in the city of Turui, not far away, and you have n’t even visited it once in six months. Go to the military department! I do n’t know what the situation was, I thought it was Davis who held you here, I do n’t want to suffer this wrong! ”

Davers joked, then patted Leo Tizides on the shoulder, and said in a gentle but irresistible tone: "Tomorrow you go home and rest for a few days and relax yourself. Let the soldiers relax, okay ?! "

Leo Titices hesitated for a while before reluctantly saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"That's right, you need to know how to work and rest!" Davers laughed.

Hippopolis has a slightly raised corner.

The two men were talking, and the court security chief Martius entered the military conference room: "Your Majesty, the tactical assessment has ended."

"Who won?" Hannipolis asked curiously.

"Sextus won." Martius reported to Davis, who was also curious: "Patrocross was unlucky. Heavy rain continued for days before the battle began, preventing his army from crossing the river. However, he still insisted on letting the engineering battalion bridge to attract the army of Sextus to stop on the other side, but secretly divided some troops to raft in the upper reaches of the river and ventured across the river.

Although Sextus arranged a number of sentries to monitor the upstream river bank and found this out, and he quickly sent troops to stop, the referee made a decision. Because of distance, Sextus's army Can't arrive in time.

Patrocross's army, although successfully crossing the river, also drowned many soldiers due to the soaring river. Sextus resolutely led the army back to the mountains, and Patroclus immediately established a defensive camp across the river, and it took a few days for the entire army to cross the river. During the march to the mountains, his army was constantly attacked by the Samona light infantry sent by Sextus, slowing their advance.

Suddenly Sextus used this time to build a simple defensive cottage on a dangerous terrain, and hoarded heavy soldiers. The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle here. Due to the narrow mountain road, Patrocross's superior strength could not be fully launched. At the critical moment, heavy rains were repeatedly thrown, which seriously affected the attack of the Patrocross side. At the end, his army was still unable to break through the blockade.

However, he secretly dispatched 1,000 soldiers, mainly composed of mountain reconnaissance soldiers, to sneak attack on the main camp of the Sextus army by climbing mountains and detours, but because Sextus' main force was still there, Patrok Rose's ransom was exhausted, so the referee finally decided that Sekestus would win ... but the referees unanimously ruled that both of them passed the tactical assessment based on the performance of both sides. "

After listening carefully, Davers said with emotion: "Although it was just talking on paper, they also realized the difficulty of fighting in the mountains! ... However, since this tactical assessment is based on the Samona Mountains , Then have the magistrates considered that the troops should avoid the spring rainy season? "

"I asked Tormead, and he said that the combat time is set in summer, so when designing the form, only two of the 12 weather options are related to rain, which are light rain and heavy rain, which may be in the assessment. More The worst of the throws. "

After Marthius said, Daphs was also a little surprised. After a moment he shrugged and said, "This just shows that the capriciousness of the war is beyond our control ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I think today's tactics The assessment was very good, and they gave a good lesson ... "

Daves was talking, noisy footsteps were already heard outside the door.

Davers no longer spoke, took his exclusive helmet from Hannipolis, and put it on his head.

Secretary of State for Military Affairs Alexis led Chief of Staff Thormead, Chief of the Second Corps Mattonis, and other generals into the conference room, saluted Daves in turn, and then stood side by side.

Then Patroclus and Sextus came in. They already knew what would happen next, so they looked very excited, and stood straight after marching to Daphs.

Davers looked around the room, and said sombly, "Let's get started."

Secretary of Defense Alexis took a step forward and unrolled a black paper band tied with black strips, reading aloud: "Given the outstanding achievements of Patroclus and Sextus in the past, and passed the Official evaluation, after discussions between Her Majesty King Daphs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, the two were promoted to head of the army! "

刚 As soon as his voice paused, cheers rang out around him, and there was a smile on Patrocross's nervous faces.

Alexis continued: "And Patroclus was appointed Chief of the Fourteenth Regiment (mainly in the Latina region), and Sextus was appointed Chief of the Eighteenth Regiment (South of Iberia) and went immediately Stay in office without delay! "

Felicius, who was aside, was a bit surprised: It was reasonable for the two to be promoted to the army commander, but it was rare in recent years to give practice immediately after the promotion!
