Chapter 677 Chopping meat with a dull knife
, quite in place, it is recommended to read it.]

Garlan Tyrell held up the lens to observe, and watched the Queen's army expand and contract like a spring, alternately performing strangely 's evolution. It wasn't until after one round that the entire army magically completed a roll, shifted a whole "position" westward, and advanced a mile toward Highgarden, before he came back to his back with a chill like waking from a dream. senses, realizing that oneself is witnessing an impeccable new method of propulsion: artillery to disperse frontal infantry, alternate rolling to leave no room for cavalry, slow but firm progress towards the strategic goal!
With the nature of Night's Watch, finding that this trick works will probably slowly arch to the home where oneself was born and raised in this way - Highgarden, the flaw and weak spot that oneself wants to wait for, probably never will Appear!
Intuitively, he didn't find the fighter jet. But at this moment, the command of the nearly 20,000 cavalry is truly in his hands. If the number of four-legged "comrades-in-arms" is also counted, the number of men and horses (people + horses) that Garland has at the moment is more than the Queen's army on the opposite side and even his own. The total amount of the main force of the infantry is even larger, and such an amazing hand like a king can't help but have the urge to "don't care about it and try it first"...

Pinch tightly The fist took a long time before Garland slowly used his reason to control the blood that filled his brain.

Father recommended him to be the cavalry coach, not because of the "courageous" in his nickname or his superb horsemanship and command, but because he would never be high or high. The decision was made without thinking, and the current situation is very clear: in the absence of cooperation, the chance of winning the elite infantry with cavalry to force the formation without chaos is extremely low. The most urgent task at the moment is not to fight, but to immediately report what they have seen and heard to the father and King Aegon, who are commanding the main force of the infantry.
He loosened the reins, turned his head and shouted loudly: "The messenger!"

Garland finally chose to send troops to report to the headquarters, while oneself led the cavalry to continue to contain him from a distance. This decision was wise and correct: if he attacked, he would face a defensive phalanx with long spear formations, loaded cannonballs and all anti-cavalry preparations; It will stop rolling and march in the normal mode, approaching the direction of Highgarden at three or four times the speed of the current situation, and bombard the main body of the troopers with artillery again according to the bottle gourd, and continue to let the cavalry have no gaps.

...

Igor's nerves were still quite nervous when rolling the first round cautiously and slowly: this is the "Ai-style rolling push" tactics from theory and training to The first attempt to practice, even if you are fully prepared, will definitely bring up various practical problems that do not arise when you are talking about it on paper. It can be said that the moment when the trapezoidal formation shrinks into a triangular formation for the first time is the most vulnerable moment for the entire West Expedition Force today. If the opponent's cavalry main general is decisive enough to kill, choose to start in the first round. Instantly launch a cavalry charge...

Even if there is no Reach infantry to cooperate and pressure, the battle will still have several points of danger.

But the opponent chose to seek stability.

And this stability, jumped into Igor's trap and turned into a frog in his warm water pot.

The reason is very simple, although the scene is very boring and tormenting, but now he is approaching the strategic goal, while the opponent is the opposite.

The purpose of the war is to win, and victory needs to be achieved by achieving several strategic goals... In the face of such a huge monster with extremely long blood bars, "destroying its army" is the most thankless. method of winning. In the face of a strong enemy that is difficult to eat in one bite, Igor chose the route of cutting the flesh with a dull knife: first attack the enemy's morale, and after weakening the enemy to a certain extent, he will fight the last battle.

The casualties of only a few hundred people may be covered up and concealed by means, but the constant retreat of the front line is real and can be felt by everyone!

It is conceivable: when the 100,000 army, who finally got together, managed to build up their morale and fighting spirit through difficult mobilization, they rushed to the battlefield, but found that they were far fewer than their own enemies. Still pressing forward step by step, oneself can only order the next step to retreat - no matter how small or slow the retreat is, it is a huge blow to morale.

The four evolutions in the first round took more than an hour. After this round of rolling was successfully completed, and some problems exposed were all resolved, Igor completely relaxed.

In just over an hour, the West Expedition Force he commanded completed a small qualitative leap: now, they are the first known world team that "successfully completed the Ai-style rolling propulsion in the actual combat environment. "Like swimming, cycling, or even going for a foot massage, many things are familiar again and again: the first time I try trembling in fear, I can do it again with confidence and calmness!

Next, all they have to do is repeat and repeat, continuously operate under the eyes of the enemy, constantly polish their bottom line by cutting sausages, and approach Highgarden, whom they swear to defend. .

It's quite a few points of chance to come up straight at the beginning of the game, but the Reach people dare not;

It is possible that the West Expedition Force will run out of ammunition and food if you retreat slowly for the camp like this. But time and morale do not support this tactic.

Therefore, there is only one possibility left.

Igor is betting on this possibility.

Each second of time elapses, the mental pressure on the enemy will increase by one; in the end, the opponent will be unable to hold back and force the battle before the West Expedition Force runs out of ammunition and will never be defeated. But because the morale was demoralized and the fighters were not on the right track, they couldn't give full play to the numerical advantage!
……

Because of the smoother coordination between the formations, the time spent on the second round has been shortened by nearly 30%. Halfway through the finish, Sun was close to overhead, and Igor was in the position where the Reach infantry forward confronted him in the morning.

The rout of the Reach people seems to be in a rush, but at least it is not so embarrassing that the wounded are left on the battlefield High Level to die... Among the broken shields, miscellaneous ordnance, corpses and bloodstains on the ground, a lot of them are used for bluffing The flags of the various families were scattered on the wet fields. This is actually a very unusual phenomenon: unless it is a devastating defeat, the general standard-bearer has enough literacy to ensure that the flag is not lost during the defeat, but this time the Reach striker feigned defeat to lure the enemy in order to create a main force. A lot of untrained ordinary peasants and soldiers were temporarily brought in to wave the flag and shout - these people did not have the professionalism of standard bearers. When the troops retreated, they immediately lost their belongings and ran faster than anyone else.

The spoils include armor, weapons and even a small amount of gold and silver (the private property of the fallen soldiers). Unfortunately, there is no food that is most urgently needed by the West Expedition Force at the moment. , Igor was about to sigh, but suddenly dive light flashed.

"Order all the ministries to gather up all the flags and cloth belt poles dropped by the enemy, clean them up, roll them up and carry them with the army in case of emergencies!"
