Chapter 346: Each has its own advantages (text)
Georgie knew that the 20 young men in Old Val were referring to the second-time soldiers sent in the territory. It did not include who the knights themselves pursued.
The vassal of the vassal was not my vassal. As the leader of the former, Lao Val, had to report to Qiao Ji, and the latter was internal affairs of their family. If Qiao Ji, the vassal of the vassal, would not only not easily get the other party’s thanks, but also might make the other party unhappy.
On this issue, it is very wise to stop the place, but then Joggy began to look for another point of this person's visit: "Although the time may be a bit inappropriate, Old Val, please tell me how the war on the front line is? How did our warriors perform in the battle? Did the response of the Lucia Kingdom bring us any trouble?"
"Didn't the Duke arrange for the messenger to convey the situation of the front line to the lords in various places every once in a while?" The Knight Val felt a little strange about Georgie's question. In his eyes, this approach was obviously a bit unnecessary.
"This kind of semi-public battle report is more or less modified! It's like a minstrel's poem. Although there is no problem in the general direction, the details are not that easy to say!" Qiao Ji naturally smiled bitterly.
The Knight Val sniffed in a tone: "Politics is like this, not something you and I can change. I hate this kind of situation where I can't tell the truth all the time."
However, soon under the contemptuous gaze of the old and young people in front of him, the Val Knight had to change his words and said, "Okay! I admit that I didn't think of the key here before, but I am not a politically versatile government official like Georgie, so I didn't expect that this aspect would be normal."
It seemed as if they had discovered that his explanation had not played any role, and the two of them looked at them became more and more strange. The Knight Val immediately turned his head and turned out the window: "Hillon, come in quickly."
Unfortunately, his rescue move did not receive any response. At this time, Old Val smiled and said, "That little guy Xilun rode out early in the morning. During this period, he has no good entertainment in the territory except this. If he wants to fight, there is no suitable candidate for the younger generation."
"Originally, he was able to travel on the Western Continent, but because of the damn Lucia Kingdom, he could only stay at home now. No wonder he was so bored. But it was not just him now! All the new knights in the Principality were temporarily recruited, and he could only say that he was angry and had no place to scatter." Qiao Ji took the words of Old Val and said, after all, the Knights of Val were already embarrassed enough now, and there was no need to offend him.
The Val Knight felt that the topic had been distracted and immediately led it to the point: "This is impossible! Who knows that the total war will begin at that time? In order to ensure that the high-end combat power in the Principality does not have any problems, I think this restriction is necessary. If Heron wants to blame, he will blame the restless Lucia Kingdom."
"It is precisely because of this that I need to understand the specific wars on the front line more! Even if the political factors above the announcement are ignored, it does not provide me with any useful information in a small range of specific information." As he said that, Joe Ge paused and said in a firm tone, "Although I cannot affect the overall layout and strategy of the Principality, as far as we are in the Borham Territory, I hope that the lives of the front line soldiers will not be sacrificed in vain. The more detailed truth about the front line will help us provide corresponding help for the current battle."
"It is true that every soldier who is around us is good. As for a soldier, their professional water quality and single combat power are worthy of recognition. Of course, the soldiers who were out of Nohan have nothing to say in this regard." As he said that, Old Val began to pick him up, "It's not like the Cruze soldiers who marched with us - they all seemed to be unable to eat enough. Some of the auxiliary soldiers couldn't even hold their weapons. I really don't know what they could do when they went to the battlefield."
"It's not like this! Although the Knights of Val once said that the armament of the Kingdom of Cruze was weak, this time the dispatch of troops was not just to aid those small countries. More importantly, it was used as a preview of the possible war, and at the same time showed our respective strength to the entire Western Continent to prevent some other countries from taking advantage of the situation in the future." Qiao Ji asked in surprise. Of course, this was not because he didn't believe what Old Val said, but just felt it was a bit incredible.
"In fact, I also find it a bit strange in this regard. At first I thought it was just a private soldier of a lord of the Cruze Kingdom. After all, you also know that the conflict between the Cruze royal family and local nobles has been around for a long time. Under such circumstances, local lords first consider their own safety and territorial defense. They have never been very careful in the foreign wars." As he said that, Old Val, who was a little dry, drank a sip of water and then expressed his own experiences, "The old man is also curious! So I have observed most of the Cruze troops, and it turns out that they are almost the same as what I said before is definitely not a case."
"Is this why they chose mountainous areas as their war zone? It seems that the leaders of Cruze are still very self-aware! Even though they know that their army is not good at fighting in the field, they are not strong enough to show off. Hiding in the fortress with favorable terrain is also a wise option." Qiao Ji nodded while saying, but it seemed certain but actually joked.
Old Val shook his head and said, "In fact, if we only rely on defense to fight, even such soldiers would not be able to stabilize the current front line! Only those who have really fought with Lucia and others know how difficult it is to deal with the other party. Therefore, the army of the Cruze Kingdom can persist until now under the opponent's offensive, and there are definitely reasons why we have not noticed."
Georgie touched his chin and thoughtful: "The quality of individual soldiers? Cooperate with training? Special combat methods? Or something else? I didn't expect that you have a good rating for the Cruze Kingdom army! But if you can understand the secret of their strength, it might be helpful to our Borham army!"
"You may have thought too much about this. The method suitable for Cruze is not necessarily suitable for us Nokhan. I still have a certain understanding of why they can last for so long under Lucia's attack." The Val Knight on the side interrupted Georgie's thoughts with difficulty.
Then in Georgian's surprised gaze, the Val Knight talked: "Most of the troops in the Kingdom of Cruze have not experienced long-distance marching training, so there is no way for them to perform poorly during the marching. This actually has a certain relationship with the military system in Cruze. However, although the reputation of the Cruzes being defended is nothing in the north, it is still the top ranks in the southern countries. After all, defending the city is different from field battles, and their insufficient physical strength can be effectively compensated. If the soldiers still
If you can learn to arrange a rest reasonably between battles, the physical strength available is more considerable than the attacking party. The gap in the quality of individual soldiers is effectively narrowed on the city walls and positions. At this time, the cooperation between each other and a key fulcrum at every distance on the defense line can play a greater role. Therefore, they only need a few excellent sergeants, plus a large number of seriously ill-wielding and poorly-excellent soldiers, to achieve certain results in this regard. At the same time, it also saves time, effort and expenses."
‘Isn’t this the legendary MiG-25 effect! The overall coordination achieves the effect of one plus one greater than two. However, its limitation is too great, and what we Bollum needs is not just a group of city guards who cannot fight in the field.’ There was a lot of turmoil in Georgia’s heart, but at the same time, the interest in that aspect was extinguished.
The so-called MiG-25 effect refers to the MiG-25 jet fighter developed and produced by the former Soviet Union, which is widely favored by countries around the world for its superior performance. However, many aircraft manufacturing experts were surprised to find that many of the components used by the MiG-25 fighter are much behind that of the US fighter, and its overall combat performance reaches or even exceeds that of the fighter jets produced by other countries such as the United States.
The reason for this phenomenon is that MiG Company made a more coordinated combination design for each component from the overall consideration during design, making the aircraft surpass American fighter jets in lifting, speed, emergency response and other aspects and became world-class at that time. This unexpected effect caused by combination coordination was later called the "MiG-25 effect".
The key to this is whether the internal structure of things is reasonable, which has a great relationship with their overall function. For example, charcoal and diamonds, the same carbon atoms form completely different hardness due to different structures. A reasonable structure will produce the effect of "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts"; if the structure is unreasonable, the overall function will be smaller than the sum of the functions of each part of the structure, and even negative values will appear.
It is also a vivid manifestation of the law of mutual change in mass. There are two basic forms of qualitative change in things: one is the accumulation of quantity; the other is the change in structure. Both can make things undergo a qualitative leap.
Of course, this approach also has its inevitable flaws and cannot fundamentally change the fact that the Cruze Kingdom army is weak. Just like the MiG-25 fighter's unacceptable low-speed performance and stability.
After thoroughly figured it out, Georgie said: "Cruze's method does not seem to be suitable for us. I finally understand the interesting thing that the Val Knight once said. It is indeed a problem for such an army to go out of the city to suppress bandits. No wonder the main force against thieves and bandits is the mercenary group. But how is Lucia's military strength compared to us?"
"Lucia! Overall, both individual combat effectiveness and coordination and discipline among soldiers are not as good as those of our Borham soldiers. In the entire Principality of Nokhan, it is also of high and low level, and it still has a certain advantage over the troops sent by several southern territories. More importantly, those Lucia soldiers are often tall, which makes them often have a certain advantage in field battles." Old Valna's proud words still saw his rationality.
"Is it beneficial to body shape? This is indeed an inevitable big problem!" Qiao Ji also said that he had no good ideas about this.
A tall man and a big horse often means that the other party can have greater strength and use heavier weapons. At the same time, the longer arm span also makes them more advantageous when using weapons of the same length. Moreover, unlike close combat, ordinary soldiers on the battlefield do not need too high flexibility, which has greatly exerted Lucia's racial advantages.
"But those Lucia's barbarians can only bully some of the soft-footed shrimps in the south. If we fight, the combination of soldiers and non-commissioned officers in Borham is still very dominant. However, the number of opponents is too large, and sometimes it really feels like encountering insect groups." Old Val said with a wry smile, "I have to admit that the number of Lucia's army is the biggest problem. So many times, after our soldiers eliminated a small group of enemy troops, they must immediately transfer to prevent the counterattack of the opponent's large corps. Fortunately, the number of opponent's knights did not have the advantage like soldiers, otherwise the battle situation would become more difficult!"
"Hard! For us, do we need to use this word to describe the current battle situation?" Qiao Ji showed a strange smile, "It's true that it's different from the semi-public battle report that reports good news but not bad news!"
"The opponent's numerical advantage is too obvious, which often makes our soldiers have to face several times their enemies at the same time. Although the army of the occupied country and the foreign mercenaries have shared a lot of pressure, now, most of the attack wars must rely on us. Although we have gained a considerable advantage on local battlefields, the soldiers are not only very tired, but also under great psychological pressure." Old Val's face was not only helpless, but even a heartache expression made the other two in the house feel empathy.
After a while of silence, Qiao Ji asked back: "That is, the soldiers have not reached the time to rest, right? Then why not just go to the rear to rest! Your current identity is just a mercenary! After the first phase of the mission comes to an end, there is free time before the new mission is accepted. I don't think it is difficult to take a little time to rest in the rear. What is the problem in this?"
"The problem is that the situation on the front line can be regarded as the most important stage. Judging from Lucia's performance, they are about to be unable to hold on to this year's summer offensive. Of course, the country we are responsible for supporting is also about to reach its limit. At this time, it depends on who can grit his teeth until the end of the end. Once we, as the defensive side, hold on, the Lucia Kingdom will not be able to launch a large-scale attack again until the end of the autumn harvest." Old Val's words immediately attracted the attention of Georgie.
However, before Georgie could speak, the Val Knight on the side also interrupted: "Lucia's logistics system does have a big problem. Now it seems that the collection of the occupied areas is not enough to ensure the war. In this case, it is a matter of time before it can enter a real stalemate."
"How did you know about this situation in Val Knight? It's not that you went to pick up the old man and entered Lucia for a reconnaissance! After all, it's not difficult to find such a huge team like the baggage team with your strength." Before Val Knight finished speaking, Qiao Ji immediately interrupted his story. In Qiao Ji's opinion, even if he was not playing with fire, he was playing the edge ball.
"Okay, you don't need to care too much about this. At present, it is not a good suggestion for our troops to retreat and recuperate. Because if we do this, what will the support troops in other territories think? A bad thing may cause the collapse of the entire front line. By then, so much time and experience we have invested in the early stage will be wasted. It is also possible that the talk will be made in front of other support troops of Nohan, which is really not worth it." The Val Knight is obviously giving him a promise, and his words are not unreasonable.
Now, Joggy has become impatient: "The number of expeditionary forces sent by Borham has been reduced so far. I don't want to wait until the battle is over before we can get specific data."
Of course, the two present also understood Joggie's current emotions. No matter what, those soldiers are important components of the Borham Territory. It is normal for Joggie to care about their safety and conditions.
In this regard, Old Val gave an answer without any concealment and no personal emotions: "89 people died in battle, and medical supplies were consumed very quickly. This is still the case with the divine treatment. In fact, the number of people who can still fight on the battlefield is only about 70% of the time they first set off."
What is the result of no way? The topic of casualties is always very heavy. However, after a brief depression, Qiao Ji said seriously: "We are reinforcements and tourists. Our battle is not to protect our land. So after paying such a big price, even if we cannot retreat and rest, we need to adjust the original draw rate. When it is time to preserve our strength, we must not be able to be a hero. Moreover, the results of your serious injury this time are enough to leave others without words."
"But, alas! Then do what you said!" The two people in front of them stopped persuading Gigi when they saw that they had decided. Because this was the best choice when fighting against Bollum again.
