Chapter 90: The Blitzkrieg Theory of Another World
Seeing that the orcs did not attack but carried out this meaningless run, the commander of the Death Scythe Infantry was stunned for a moment, but soon his face changed.
Because he knew that they had lost half of this duel.
Xiao Yu's playing style that does not follow the conventional cards happens to completely restrain the advantages of the Death Scythe Infantry, allowing them to have strong combat power but have nowhere to display it.
The armor of the Death Scythe Infantry is so thick. If it is an ordinary adult, it will be difficult to walk after wearing it. Even if these soldiers have undergone special training, they cannot move freely in such heavy armor, let alone run to catch up with the orcs.
Heavy infantry must use rigorous formations to resist the opponent's attack and then advance step by step to show their strength.
This is an excellent military service suitable for combat between the two armies. Such a heavy infantry phalanx can easily defeat ten times the opponent's troops.
However, they forgot that this is not a battlefield.
In their usual thinking, since it is a duel and since it is a battle, it is definitely the two sides who have to conduct a frontal attack or even a rushing attack from both sides to achieve the goal of dismantling each other.
Therefore, they sent light cavalry and light infantry at the same time to protect both sides, fully utilize the advantages of heavy infantry's resistance to attack and sharp attacks, and then they can defeat the opponent.
However, no one would have thought that at the beginning of the gladiator, Xiao Yu would not fight with them at all, but would roam directly, away from the heavy infantry formation. In this way, the slow-moving Death Scythe infantry would completely lose its effect.
In fact, this is like during World War II, France built the famous Maginot Line of Defense, which was extremely strong and even the most powerful troops could not break through. No matter how many people came to Germany, they had to fill it in.
However, Guderian's theory of blitzkrieg, coupled with Manstein's sickle blitzkrieg plan, will not fight you at all. We will walk around you and go to hit you elsewhere, and you will be stunned.
Xiao Yu is also a fan of the puppet army. How could he not know such a famous case? Today is just learning and applying it, and it is embedded in today's battle.
At that time, France was too solid in the trench warfare during World War I. Unexpectedly, there would be such a way of fighting and interspersing tactics, so it was defeated in a mess. Although its strength was similar to that of the German army, or even stronger, it was destroyed by the German army within a month.
Different ways of thinking affect the ending of a battle.
After all, people in this era are in the era of cold weapons, and their research on tactics is solidified in those aspects, which is hundreds of years behind Xiao Yu's military theory and ideas that experienced the world war of hot weapons in the era.
Therefore, their thinking will not change so easily.
Perhaps from our perspective today, it was stupid for France to build the Maginot Line of Defense, but it was just because we lived a hundred years later and had a hundred years of knowledge. In that era, a slight change in thought was extremely difficult.
The same is true in this era. Perhaps, after Xiao Yu used this method, they would immediately awaken, but it would definitely not be so easy to create such a way of playing.
Guderian studied blitzkrieg for many years before it was formed. Where can it be explained in one or two sentences. It must be a suitable army, a suitable terrain, and a suitable time to achieve it. Today, Xiao Yu was very keenly aware that this colosseum and the troops of both sides were very suitable for this kind of blitzkrieg.
In fact, if this is on the real battlefield, Xiao Yu's method would not work at all. Because on the front battlefield, it is impossible that the only one Death Scythe Infantry fights Xiao Yu's five hundred orcs.
Behind the Death Scythe Infantry, there must be a huge light infantry and cavalry unit. The Death Scythe Infantry is just to serve as the frontier, resist the opponent's vanguard's attack, suppress the position, and then attack counterattack to break the opponent's position, thereby completely opening up the situation. The other cavalry and infantry behind will immediately follow after seeing the opponent's formation collapse, and it is impossible for you to escape so freely. Once the formation collapses, the cavalry behind you will be completely finished.
Therefore, when the two armies face each other, it is impossible for them to appear like Xiao Yu now. As soon as they meet, they will immediately run away. In that case, your army will have no place at all, just like a stone turning into a pile of sand. Once the other party advances, your army will be immediately washed away.
It can be said that Xiao Yu's theory is only applicable to the current situation, and is suitable for the current situation where only heavy infantry is only and other troops are extremely scarce.
Although the opponent still has 100 light cavalry and light infantry, can only 200 light cavalry and light infantry do more than 500 orcs? Light infantry cannot form a formation. If you fight alone with orcs, what are the consequences? Needless to say, five hundred orcs can definitely slowly kill all these light cavalry and light infantry while away from the phalanx of the Death Scythe Infantry.
"Genius, military genius." Although many aristocrats who were amateurs were making noises, condemning and mocking Xiao Yu's escape behavior, many aristocrats who truly understood military had already known the end of the fight when they saw this scene on the court.
The outstanding command ability shown by Xiao Yu seems funny and playful, but in fact it can only be expressed by a military commander with great strategy and wisdom.
At this time, they suddenly thought of Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Zhantian, the invincible Lion King Marshal.
"A tiger father has no dog son." At this moment, everyone thought so.
The commander of the Grim Reaper Scythe Infantry was stunned for a long time, and finally ordered the Grim Reaper Scythe Infantry to stop and not launch any attack for the time being.
Because he no longer had any attack plan. After a shock, he also wanted to use one hundred light infantry and one hundred light cavalry to entangle the orcs, and then let the Death Scythe Infantry force the orcs to a corner and slowly kill them.
However, the area of this coupe is too large. As long as the orcs want to run, they will definitely have a place to run. If light cavalry and light infantry are sent to attack rashly, they may be slowly destroyed by the opponent in the game. Light cavalry and light infantry are definitely not opponents of orcs.
Seeing that they stopped, Xiao Yu also asked the orcs to stop.
"One, two, one, stand... Decide. Stand up and fight. Look at you, where are you all the garbage formations you line up? This is really too shameless." Xiao Yu thought of the face of the physical education teacher in middle school, and used it all here, scolding these orcs as students.
Seeing that the orcs were standing, Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is almost the same."
Then, he turned his head to look at the Scythe Infantry Formation of Death God of Scythe Infantry, which had stopped completely, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Dear Death God of Scythe Infantry, on this prosperous festival, an exciting moment, I suddenly felt a poetic spirit, and I couldn't help but want to write a poem for you. How about this poem? This poem is like this, autumn... Oh no, it's summer, summer, petals are falling, next year, who can remember the petals that fell this year? Friends of Death God of Scythe Infantry, next year, who will remember your dead lives? So, cherishing life is the right way. Hurry up and surrender to my great empire lion king Xiao Yu, so that your life will not wither and wither like petals."
Xiao Yu copied Goebbels's poem directly, hitting the morale of the Scythe Infantry of the Death Scythe.
Now, some of the slightly smarter soldiers of the Death Scythe Infantry were also feeling the situation was not good. They knew that it would be absolutely impossible for them to catch up with each other in this armor.
If the opponent keeps not attacking and wandering around, then if they keep chasing, they will eventually be exhausted and defeated by the opponent in one fell swoop.
"Hmph, arrogant, do you think you can defeat us like this? Indeed, we can't catch up with you now, but do you think you can break our Death Scythe Infantry Formation? If you have the ability, come and attack." This commander is not a fool. He knew that his side would definitely not catch up with the other party, so he simply did not chase and waited for the other party to attack here.
Although this seems a bit rogue, I don't care about it now.
Seeing that the commander of the Death Scythe Infantry did not launch an attack, the people outside the field still had a trace of fantasy, hoping that Xiao Yu could not help but launch an attack. However, the chance of this is very small. Since Xiao Yu chose this style of play from the beginning, would he attack rashly?
If no one attacks and just keeps stalemate, then it seems that this gladiator will always maintain a draw. Many people are now thinking about getting this gladiator. Although there has never been a draw in the Colosseum, only one side will fail or die. However, in this special situation, Shim cannot afford to lose, and maybe a special draw will really be a special result.
Xiao Yu cut and said, "Do you think I dare not attack? I am just giving you a chance to save yourself. Since you are ungrateful, don't blame me."
As he said that, Xiao Yu asked the tall orc to lead the other orcs to stay here. When he saw the opponent's attack, he ran around the field. Then he selected a hundred elite orcs and prepared to start the attack.
