Law of the Devil Chapter 536: [Phantom of the Wolf Rider]
Chapter 536 [Phantom of the Wolf Rider]
Two months have passed, and after two months, Du Wei has made a new trick again!
He persuaded the commander general and seconded 800 soldiers from the imperial police station and entered the military academy!
Then he dispersed the 108 trainees among the 800 ordinary soldiers, and each of them served as a junior officer. Soldiers, up to a hundred.
These officers brought soldiers when they were on the ground, so they did a good job. Du Wei gave them ten days to get acquainted with their subordinates, and lived with these soldiers! Every morning and evening, they must participate in the normal exercise of these soldiers, but during the day, continue their courses at the military academy.
These ten days have passed, and many officers have finally realized the role of Du Wei's school rules!
First of all, in execution, officers took the lead in strictly respecting the school rules, so that none of the soldiers below dared to violate it! Then, the weird officer under Du Wei's rule had to eat after the soldiers had finished their meals, so that the soldiers quickly developed a good opinion of these strange officers!
This era, after all, is still feudal. In the army, officers enjoy a lot of privileges. Now that the officers are living and eating with the soldiers, of course, these ordinary soldiers soon became grateful.
"If your subordinates are still hungry, but you are full. Your subordinates do n’t have enough cold clothes to endure the cold, but you are wearing fine leather robes ... officers like this, do n’t want to get soldiers. Really support it! "
The reason is very simple. Dewey is to eliminate the privilege of the noble officers in the Roland Empire in the army!
Under Du Wei's strict order, these officers lived in the same barracks as the soldiers and ate the same food as the soldiers! Take the lead in following school rules! Du Wei even prescribed. Every night, officers must go to bed after all soldiers have slept!
It is these rules that made those guys feel very boring before, but let these people get the support of their subordinates in ten days. Of course, ten days is too short after all, and it is just some gratitude of the soldiers. That's it. But this is the first step that must be taken to control an army!
In Dewey's opinion. Except for the Northern Storm Corps, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in the Empire, the seemingly easiest first step cannot be achieved in the local defense forces around the Empire!
After ten days, Du Wei started the Xindi course. This time, it is not "deduction", but actual combat!
The place where the academy is located is a military fort built by the Empire many years ago, and there is enough room here. There are also various buildings, barracks, headquarters, buildings, and outposts. Fortress walls, arrow towers, etc ...
Du Wei begins the "actual acting" course!
Every lesson is simple. He randomly designates a building, maybe a weapon storehouse. Maybe a section of earthen wall, or an arrow tower, or maybe just a row of barracks!
Then he will divide the 800 soldiers into two parts, and let these trainee officers lead their soldiers to fight!
Dewey made full use of all the terrain in the academy, allowing these officers to lead people to play a "war game" here.
Of course, this kind of acting. In order to avoid casualties, Du Wei wrapped the so-called ground swords with cotton cloth, and took the spear off the gun head. Also brought in several priests and physicians who are good at light therapy, plus Du Wei himself, a powerful magic pharmacist.
Continuous actual combat performances allow the officers to actually test their tactics. The scale of the play also began with the team confrontation, the squadron confrontation, and finally developed into the team confrontation! Or battalion to battalion!
To allow these officers to develop commanding experience in actual combat, Du Wei kept mobilizing troops from the imperial police station. After three months. There are 2,000 soldiers in the Imperial Capital Police Station stationed in this Imperial Military Academy! A real infantry battalion! !!
Du Wei also developed a series of promotion and demotion systems! In confrontation. The officer who made the mistake and lost the last will be relegated! The winning side is promoted. The original line leader can be promoted to captain, and the captain is promoted to captain ...
Because they were unable to enter the battlefield, these simulated actual combat performances also allowed these officers to accumulate some initial commanding experience.
By the way, because of my enthusiasm for studying in the military academy, our future Master Rollin Gabriel, also initiatively postponed his adult ceremony.
A few months later, Du Wei again opened a new course "Use of Gunpowder ..."
Spring goes to summer.
The emperor's new emperor, Charlie, has been here for almost half a year.
With the summer, the cold in the air has been swept away.
Even in the northern part of the empire, the ice and snow began to melt, and the frozen ground on the ground after a full winter and spring gradually softened. With more and more warmth in the sun, the soldiers took off their thick clothes and put on summer thin uniforms.
Just to the north, the Kaspersky empire of the empire, the Stormwind Corps has been fully stationed in the main fortress in the middle and the fortress on the east side. As for the west fortress, it is left to Alpay's Thor.
The warmer weather has made the trenching in the north of the fortress faster. As the weather warmed, the soil on the ground was no longer as hard as a stone, and just below the fortress, the excavation of a trench lengthing up to 100 meters was over.
A line of ravines on the ground will become a "death corridor" for enemies who march imaginarily! Go through this 100-meter-long trench area, and also within the range of the crossbow guards above the city walls! From the perspective of General Rostock, the commander of the Storm Legion, this trench is enough to make the enemy pay a huge blood price!
Complete defenses, the most elite soldiers of the empire, ample weapons and equipment ... Rostock is confident of future wars!
The only thing that disapproved him was the "Imperial Air Force First Division" behind the line of defense. The original Northwest Independent Division.
General Andre was a subordinate of General Rostock, and the two had a good personal relationship. Can be private. General Andrei previously made a proposal to mobilize other airship forces, cooperate with scout cavalry on the ground, and set up a patrol area with a radius of 50 kilometers centered on the main plug of the Kaspersky defense line.
However, General Rostock is not too cold about this proposal. As a typical loyal believer of the traditional cavalry theory, Rostock led his cavalry for a lifetime. The cavalry in his Stormwind Legion also occupies a considerable proportion. He firmly believes that cavalry is the strongest and most dependable force in the human army!
He doesn't believe what scouts can be carried by those airships flying at a height of several hundred meters ... Yes, they fly in the sky and look far away! But how can a cavalry scout function be those airships instead?
Experienced scouts can trace trampling of vegetation from various footprints on the ground. Judge the enemy's tracks, even the direction! These things, where can those airships in the sky see?
Moreover, every time the airship is dispatched, it will cost a lot of money! Each time the airships are launched in teams. Consumes a lot of fuel! Those fuels were bought with military expenses!
General Rostock has been officially designated as the head coach of Kaspersky's defense! From the post, both the air force of General Andrea and the Legion of Whips of the Alpai Mine God must be restrained by Rostock. Of course, the commander's other accusation: The entire supply of Kaspersky's defense line and military expenditures are also all under the responsibility of General Rostock!
In the view of this empire's experienced and long-time veteran general, those airships certainly have powerful combat capabilities (this has been seen from the Northwest Army annihilation battle a few years ago). General Rostock acknowledged the combat effectiveness of the airship, but he felt that such combat effectiveness was too expensive!
A built airship, every time it takes off. Carrying out that "50-kilometer radius" patrol operation consumes a lot of fuel, which is more than ten times higher than the fodder horses 'fodder and soldiers' rations of the same amount! !!
General Rostock thinks this is a waste! What can cavalry scouts do? Why must those expensive airships do it?
Although hindering his personal relationship with General Andrea, he did not reject all of General Andrea's proposals, but only partly agreed with reservations. But reduced the number of airships patrolling the theater proposed by General Andri to one third!
Most regions. Or patrol with cavalry scouts!
And the result ... What he didn't know was that General Andry sighed helplessly. Because military power and all the authority to approve expenditures are in the hands of Rostock's coach!
The result is that a perfect early warning system designed by General Andre did not achieve the expected results. A lot of gaps appeared in the area covered by the airship patrol!
On the day of the early summer of 1965 in the Roland Empire, finally, the cavalry scout sent the first unusual news!
A team of up to ten scouts was expected to return on the day of presenting the information, but did not return!
The news was not immediately reported to the hands of General Rostock. The officers below did not pay enough attention to the news. They thought that maybe the team scout might have encountered Warcraft or it might have been delayed on the road. In addition, the army sent a total of two hundred teams of scouts to inspect the vast area north of the fortress, and one of them was delayed for a day, which was nothing.
The next day, the news was delivered to General Andre.
On the third day ... Finally, another team of scouts found the missing team in the north ...
The corpse!
The group of ten scout cavalry passing by that area saw a scene that scared them!
On the edge of a wood, on the ground, blood and broken bodies are everywhere! The condition of the deceased is extremely terrifying! Those dead horses seemed to hurt as if no beast had bitten them fiercely!
And those comrades-in-arms who were killed couldn't even find a complete body! Those corpses seemed to be cruelly torn to pieces! Spilled blood everywhere! Even more corpses are incomplete! Some have their legs cut off, while others have only half of their bodies left!
All corpses. All of their armor and weapons have been stripped away. This is definitely not a World of Warcraft or a beast! Beasts can eat people, but they will never grab weapons and armor!
The officer from the team leader went to the soldier, everyone saw such a terrible scene, even the brave soldier couldn't help getting his legs weak! Because they saw it ... on the edge of the woods, there are still ashes on the ground!
On the ashes, on top of several rough sticks, there are some leftover ... legs and arms! It was the parts cut off from those corpses!
Those arms and thighs. Was worn on a wooden stick, apparently passed the "grill", leaving traces of nibbling on it! !!
This is terrible! !!
The bravest soldier can't help but suddenly turn around at this moment, vomiting violently, holding the big tree. The leader's face was as pale as paper, and when he ordered to collect information on the spot and then retreat, all of a sudden his uneasy horses were disturbed!
The horses seemed to smell a dangerous breath in the air. He screamed violently and raised his front hoof! No matter how the cavalry appease them, these horses are struggling to move their hoofs in place, but they are unwilling to settle down ...
At this time, the scout captain. Suddenly I heard a weird growl, it sounded like a beast, like a roar of a wolf?
He turned around and saw the woods. Countless terrible figures suddenly roared and rushed over! That speed is like running horses! But in the narrow woods, it was amazing! Tenno jumps, but where can human cavalry horses have agility?
Before these scouts have reacted, a dozen giant wolves have rushed into the woods! Each of these giant wolves is covered with rough and hard iron armor, and sitting on the back of the giant wolf is a monster with a sharp mouth and a tooth! They held long, long knives. Whistling like a wolf pack ...
These scouts were thrown on the ground on the spot at a slow speed, without even screaming, they were bitten by the throat! The response was faster, but the weapons were not pulled out at all, and they watched the monsters riding on the giant wolves rushing to the front, harvested their heads with one shot!
This team is scouting. The best player is the scout captain. He made a decision instantly: escape!
The scout's excellent judgment, he made the first judgment that ten people on his side were absolutely not the opponent. As a scout, his mission is not to kill the enemy, but to send the information back!
However, he just turned the horse, and the frightened horse only took a few steps under the control of his excellent riding. At this time, a dark shadow suddenly jumped over his head! That dark shadow, even for a moment, blocked the sun!
The giant wolf, which is as big as a horse, has such a terrible jumping power? !! !!
The giant wolf that has passed over his head has stopped in front of him. The monster like a wolf face opened his mouth to himself, exposing sharp fangs, and screaming screaming!
Spell it! The scout captain struggled to pull out his long sword and was about to rush to the front, but at this time, another wolf cavalry on the side had already swooped up fiercely! The powerful power of the giant wolf, a swoop, threw the scout captain and even the horse and the horse to the ground!
When the scout captain landed, his leg was pressed under the horse, and he was struggling. At this time, he saw the giant wolf with his mouth and biting at himself ...
(What are these monsters?!)
This is his last thought.
On this day, forty-six teams scouts on patrol, only three teams came back! None of the other 43 teams and 430 scouts could return!
The problem is that the three teams who came back alive did not encounter any hostility! In other words, 430 excellent cavalry were lost, but the imperial army in Kaspersky's line of defense did not get any news or trace of valuable enemies! !!
This incident suddenly caused an uproar in Kaspersky fortress!
The enemy is here! But where is the enemy? !! What does the enemy look like? !!
