Mage Veja

Chapter 135
The sky is slightly bright.

It's about 5:[-] am now.

The troops of Vega and Wolfe were not far from the edge of the central area. As long as they left the edge and marched for less than half a day, they could return to the headquarters of the Third Army.

Everything seems to be going well.

Just when Veigar and the others were about to leave the central area in one go, the scouts who went ahead came back and reported something.

On the road that must be passed, the airborne troops of the Royal Army are guarding.

It's not that Veigar didn't think about taking a detour.

But the situation given by the scouts is that all the main intersections from the central area to the outer area are heavily guarded. It seems that they are going to guard the exit and clear out the imperial soldiers who survived the magic bombing.

"Things are troublesome."

After listening to the report, Vega looked at Wolfe: "Captain Wolfe, what advice do you have?"

"For the current plan, is there any other way?"

Wolf said as a matter of course: "If you want to go back to the headquarters, you must cross this road and listen to the report of the scouts. There are only more than 500 people guarding the intersection. With our strength, it is not impossible to win."

"Your opinion is, face-to-face confrontation?"

"Of course, we have no way to retreat, and of course we can only confront it head-on."

Hearing Wolfe's words of course, Vega asked in puzzlement: "Didn't you consider that with the support speed of the Royal Army, 500 people only need to entangle us for a while, and I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

"Captain Veigar, of course I understand that."

Wolfe was a little impatient: "So we can only pray that we can crush these 500 troops before the enemy's support arrives. If we can't break through the defense line before the support arrives, we can only blame my fate."

"Captain Wolf, please wait."

Veigar asked in an almost unbelievable tone: "Haven't you thought about using some basic tactics to minimize the chance of failure?"

"Tactics?"

Wolfe suddenly realized: "This is naturally something to consider. According to the basic combat method of the army, I decided to adopt a 133 tactical formation. Later, I will need Captain Vega and your professional troops to take the lead in the charge. My troops will take the opportunity to cover up and kill them." go out."

"Is this the tactic you're talking about?"

Veigar always has a feeling of playing the piano with a cow. He is talking about tactics, not battle formations.

Wolfe didn't think there was anything wrong: "Captain Veigar, do you have other more clever tactics?"

"This kind of terrain, don't you think street fighting and guerrilla warfare are more suitable?" Veigar responded patiently.

"Street fighting? Guerrilla warfare?"

Wolfe's eyes were full of doubts: "Captain Veigar, I can understand the street fighting you said. It probably means launching a frontal charge with the enemy in a narrow terrain, but what kind of tactic is this guerrilla warfare?"

Vega figured it out.

It turns out that in the eyes of the opponent, apart from being head-on or head-on, the only difference is that when you are head-on, which terrain should be changed into which formation will have a better chance of winning. The opponent doesn't understand the meaning of street fighting at all.
"Captain Wolfe."

Veigar looked at the tall buildings behind him and the complex terrain: "Haven't you considered occupying some commanding heights and some key buildings that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and cooperate with guerrilla tactics to achieve the goal of winning more with less?"

"Win more with less?"

Wolf shook his head and smiled: "Captain Veigar is really good at joking. I am not a high-ranking general. This kind of command ability to win more with less is beyond my grasp. As for occupying some commanding heights, it is beneficial to the magic support of mages. But there doesn't seem to be any elemental mages in our team."

Vega shook his head helplessly.

He finally said: "I would like to ask your lord to give me the command of this battle. I believe that with my ability, although I can't completely break the blockade of the Royal Army, it is still no problem to lead the troops out of the central area." .”

Wolff frowned.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Captain Vega, it's not that I don't believe you, please allow me to ask, are you an officer who graduated from the Central Military Academy or the Great Northwest Military Academy?"

"I haven't gone to the military academy yet." Vega replied honestly.

The military academy is the only way for lower-level officers to pass through to middle-level officers. With Vega's merits, he has long been qualified to go to the military academy for advanced studies, but Kalieni suddenly fell in the middle, so he has not been recommended so far.

"terribly sorry."

Wolfe apologized to Vega: "Although I am very willing to believe in the commanding ability of your officer, I can't make fun of the lives of my subordinates. Please forgive me."

"With all due respect, Captain Wolf, your fighting style is to make fun of the lives of your subordinates." Vega didn't give the other side any face.

Wolfe wasn't angry either.

He just shook his head and said: "My combat method is strictly in accordance with the curriculum of the military academy. There is absolutely no mistake. Captain Veija can rest assured about this."

"Ah!"

Vega said disdainfully: "I would like to ask, among the high-ranking generals of the empire, which miraculous battles were won one after another, which one was done according to the standard method used in textbooks?"

"Captain Veigar, you are still young."

Wolf stopped arguing with Vega, and just said casually: "There is nothing wrong with the fighting method taught by the Imperial Military Academy. I am going to launch an attack in 15 minutes. Please also ask Vega to charge with a team of professionals. forward."

This is how the empire fights head-on.

The elemental mages were responsible for the firepower output before the battle, the professional troops took the opportunity to cut in, and the ordinary troops served as the main force of the battle in the rear, and the magicians who recovered finally provided fire support.

No matter which country you are in, this is the main way of fighting.

The fight is who has more troops, who has stronger professionals, and whose magician has enough firepower output.

Veigar, who came across, scoffed at this tactic.

In his view, the reason why Kareni fell was because of the tactics of the Royal Army. They all began to study the prototype of blitzkrieg, but the fighting thinking of the empire stayed in the head-to-head battle of the last century.

Obedience to the command of such a conventional officer?
Vega still wants to live a little longer.

So he directly rejected Wolfe: "Sorry, Captain Wolfe, I don't agree with your way of fighting. I also need to be responsible for my subordinates. Please forgive me for not following your orders."

"Captain Veigar, you..."

Wolf changed his face, and finally saluted helplessly: "I respect your opinion, I will still lead the troops to charge in 15 minutes, and if I am lucky enough to meet the commander-in-chief, I will definitely bring the troops here Rescue, and may the glory of the Empire be with you."

"May the glory of the empire be with you." Veigar returned the salute.

So 15 minutes later, Wolfe led the 2 regiments without a single professional, and launched an attack on the Royal Army's 500-strong army with a professional team.
