Chapter 159 Tactical Theory
A plan to retake Kareni?

As an experienced commander, he naturally has his own battle plan, otherwise he wouldn't have to go through all kinds of hardships, even sacrificing the entire squadron of shadow mages in exchange for the lives of Bruno and the upper mage.

A mature battle plan must include two aspects.

The first aspect is to demand control of the enemy, and the second aspect is to protect ourselves.

In short, it is to make two-handed preparations. If you fail, you will fight to death according to the original plan. If you fail, you will immediately stop the loss and retreat according to the second plan, leaving yourself a retreat at any time.

Foster's initial idea was to use the location to ambush the Royal Army.

Even if the current force cannot counterattack successfully, at least they can take advantage of the location to deal with the enemy, and then send a small force to break through the city of Kareni, so that the frontline troops will return immediately even if they sacrifice the first two lines of defense.

At that time, if we cooperate internally and externally, we will naturally be able to recover Kareni.

The worst result of doing this is nothing more than the collapse of the front line of defense, and even the loss of most of the cities in the north, but as long as the important city of Kareni is kept, there is a chance to counterattack at any time.

On the contrary, if the city of Kareni is lost, the north will really be over.

Therefore, in Foster's plan, even if the strong man breaks his wrist, he must take back the control of Kareni.

After the victory of this ambush battle, Foster has started to use the geographical advantage to formulate a new ambush plan. This ambush plan does not seek to defeat the Royal Army, but it must be able to scare the Royal Army, otherwise it will be difficult to persist for 10 days. above.

But when he was thinking about a new ambush tactic, Veigar's "guerrilla" tactic successfully attracted his attention. He was sure that it was a new tactic, because he had never heard of it in his war career. two words.

In other words.

This so-called guerrilla tactic was independently thought out by the 10-year-old Cub Officer in front of him?

For the first time, Foster was slightly angry. What qualifications does a mere second lieutenant have to label an immature idea as a tactic.

Tactics are no child's play.

The real tactics must be inferred countless times by the wise generals of the staff department, and then tested in actual combat while ensuring that there are no theoretical errors. After the final confirmation, they can be called tactics.

Foster admits Veigar is different.

But no matter how different he is, he is still just a child with a little genius.

Although he is proud of his age, it does not mean that he can be arrogant and casually label his own ideas as "tactics".

At this moment, Foster's accumulated goodwill towards Vega collapsed instantly.

However, based on his status as the commander-in-chief, it is not easy for him to immediately veto Vega, so let's hold back and signal Vega to continue. ", "I will consider"... and other lines that are clearly praised but actually perfunctory.

A wise commander will naturally not directly deny the ideas of his subordinates.

So Foster straightened his sitting posture, and then signaled Vega to continue: "Second Lieutenant Vega is indeed a genius. This guerrilla tactic must be a theoretical tactic that you think about independently. I would like to hear the details."

"The next official is daring."

Veigar coughed twice, and then said loudly: "This guerrilla tactic can be summed up in sixteen characters: 'When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; The squad fights on its own as a unit, using long-range weapons such as crossbows and arrows, to achieve the main purpose of exhausting the enemy, annihilating the enemy, and establishing an advantage."

"When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy stays, we harass?"

"The enemy is stationed and we are disturbed, and the enemy is tired and we are fighting?"

These 16 words followed Foster's ear canal and lingered in his brain for a long time. As an outstanding general, he realized the power of these [-] words at the first time, especially the team explained by Vega. way of fighting.

Just imagine.

If a thousand-member army wants to move in an unfamiliar city with complex terrain, both speed and agility will be reduced, but a 10-member team has no worries at all.

Either attack or retreat.

In this complex terrain, they are completely comfortable, and it is basically impossible to be caught by the enemy, not to mention that they still occupy a favorable location. This tactic is simply tailor-made for the enemy's strong and weak imperial army.

Foster looked at Vega with complicated eyes, and the word "war genius" could not be restrained from appearing in his brain.

Even the senior generals of the general staff could not think of such a tactic of turning decay into magic, but Foster couldn't help but be shocked that the teenage scout officer in front of him had thought of such a miraculous tactic.

A qualified general can win in an evenly matched situation.

But to become an excellent general, one needs to have the ability to turn adversity into victory and defeat the strong with the weak.

Foster considered himself a good general.

But there is indeed a kind of commander in this world who surpasses the existence of excellent generals. They are better at turning decay into magic, turning the impossible into possibility, and the title of this kind of person is called the God of War.

Whether Veigar is the God of War or not, he doesn't know.

But Foster knows that in theory, this tactic is so advanced that it kills all the so-called tactics in textbooks, reaching the highest peak that all tactics can only look up to.

Foster looked at Veigar with complicated eyes: "Second Lieutenant Veigar, I can't comment on your tactics, but in theory, as long as you use it properly, it is almost easy to delay time, even..."

Foster said nothing further.

Because his purpose was to use the geographical advantage to delay time while teaching the Royal Army a lesson, mainly relying on the reinforcements from the frontline troops, but he even had the illusion that he could win with this tactic if he continued to implement it!

Defeating the Kingdom Army with 3000 times the strength with a mere 5 troops?
This kind of crazy idea would not be imagined by any normal general, but Foster is obviously not a normal person, he is a complete lunatic: "Second Lieutenant Vega, I will give you one day to put your Summarize the tactical theory into a report, and use your troops to verify your tactical theory in actual combat within two days."

"Commander, how do you think I escaped from the central area?" Veigar didn't accept the order, but asked back.

This time, Foster directly opened his half-closed eyes: "Could it be?! Second Lieutenant, what do you mean... this tactical theory has been verified in actual combat?"

Step forward.

Veija took out a video crystal: "I'm a low-ranking official. I once defeated one regiment and one battalion of the Kingdom Army with 800 remnants in the central area, and wiped out more than a thousand elite troops of the enemy army. The Kingdom Army had to switch from attack to defense."
