Lord of the Oasis Chapter 143: .An infantry-only army

Manid has some insight into interrogation.

As a genius from a family of businessmen, he understands the art of multiple languages, such as intimidation, co-existence of favors, and promises of benefits, all of which are the most basic business negotiation routines.

A change of thinking, a different way, is actually the technique of interrogation.

Manid takes his leave and steps back.

Interrogations were quickly arranged with the soldiers responsible for intimidation.

That night.

The results of the interrogation were already recorded on the parchment and presented to Kant in writing.

It's just that the results were a little unexpected.

"Huh." Kant had a mocking smile on his face.

Take the information obtained by interrogating the prisoners as an example. For this operation, the Greymane Kingdom directly deployed all the elites except the necessary defense forces of the country, and recalled almost all the controlling forces outside the coast of Mannheim. It is the human kingdoms that invaded the Narun Desert and turned the southern part of the desert into a colony of the Greymane Kingdom.

The idea of ​​breaking the boat is a very bold strategy.

There is an air of success or failure.

In Kant's view.

These high-level gnolls have never considered that if their strategic actions to colonize the human kingdoms fail, and the forces on the coast of Mannheim will shrink and wilt, they will be unable to advance forward, unable to retreat, and will be surrounded by life and death.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"They think the human kingdom is weak."

Manid noticed Kant's thoughts and shrugged and reported: "In their opinion, one gnoll infantry can easily deal with 3 human infantry, and if the gnoll starts to fight, it can deal with 5 humans. Infantry."

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's true."

Fatis also declined to comment, but tacitly tacitly agreed that the sentence was correct.

That's what it is.

Gnolls can generally reach a height of 2.3 meters, and high-level gnolls with adequate nutrition can often reach 300 catties in weight. All of them are tall and heavy, and they are full of strong muscles.

The speed, strength, and load-carrying ability brought by this body are much stronger than the infantry of human nations.

Don't say it's a heads-up between individuals.

Even if there is a collision between legions and legions, the human legion will be at a disadvantage.

But Kant picked up the parchment again.

Looking at the above records, regarding the troop composition and battle sequence of the Greymane Kingdom, the tone is a bit strange: "However, these gnolls, wouldn't they think that the human kingdom, like them, is composed of infantry right?"

Manid nodded: "As you can see, it is."

"Humph." Fatis snorted coldly and frowned, "This is like a joke."

"No way." Manid shrugged his shoulders in a helpless tone: "When I heard the intelligence said by those prisoners, I also didn't believe it. After I collected evidence from the other prisoners, I found out that it was true. "

"Only infantry." Kant tapped his fingers on the table and couldn't help laughing.

Because the Narun Desert acts as a moat.

The coast of Mannheim, which is connected to the Sea of ​​Stars, and the Principality of Lions, which are connected to the interior, have never had any communication at all.

Neither party knows the other.

I don't know the opponent's military level and troop structure.

But now it seems that the Kingdom of Greymane on the coast of Mannheim, a country composed of high-level gnolls, is too outrageous. The battle is mainly based on hoplites, and even the long-range troops recruit mercenaries. Or the captives of the lizardmen, and in the attitude of auxiliary soldiers, they also served as sappers, transport soldiers and other miscellaneous arms in wartime.

"They have never seen cavalry, nor are there any horses on the coast of Mannheim."

Manid seemed to think of something, and then added: "The only similar troops are the Moon Deer Cavalry of the Elf tribe. They use bows and arrows to fight at a distance, and their fighting ability at close range is quite weak."

"The cavalry archer." Kant raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

On the prairie southeast of Calradia, the elite of the Kujit are the senior kujit mounted archers.

The strongest cavalry archer in the entire continent.

Under the tactical involvement of the plains, these cavalry archers can even compete with the Swadian knights and Mamluks, the two strongest level 5 heavy cavalry. Precise and deadly feathered arrows gallop between the war horses.

For guerrilla archers, they never fight head-to-head.

The Swadians, on the other hand, prefer to charge to win.

Fatis opened his mouth, expressing his puzzlement: "I don't understand, how could the Greymane Kingdom be so stupid that it wants to colonize the human kingdoms with only heavy infantry, at least I understand that the Principality of Lions is also based on heavy cavalry. The power of the Lord's country to fight on the plains is not comparable to these 3,000 heavy infantry."

"Asymmetric information." Manid frowned slightly and gave this conclusion.

Kant nodded: "Perhaps so."

Only this conclusion can explain Greymane's underestimation and arrogance.

Since the heavy cavalry had never fought on the coast of Mannheim, they would never have imagined that humans would ride on warhorses, fully armored, and charge them with spears.

I don't even know, the heavy cavalry in the charge state can't even stop the spear formation.

Don't talk about history.

Even Calradia has proven this.

As long as the terrain is suitable.

The charging heavy cavalry, even the 4th-level Swadian heavy cavalry, can also overwhelm the strongest 6th-level infantry, the infantry formation formed by the Nord royal guards, smashing these infantry butchers. He fell to the ground, easily trampled by horses' hooves.

Although this is a desert area, the terrain is still relatively flat.

Also suitable for cavalry combat.

"This time, we really have to prepare."

Kant knocked on the table and said solemnly to the two: "We cannot underestimate the enemy."

"Understood." The two responded in a deep voice.

They also understand that they do not have the capital to underestimate the enemy.

Belonging to the "Drehem" fortress who is fighting alone, and can only rely on himself.

No reinforcements.

No backup force.

Even if you fail once, you will fall into the abyss.

Compared to the very strong Greymane Kingdom~IndoMTL.com~ they don't have any capital to underestimate the enemy.

The night comes.

The guards begin changing their guards for the night.

This is the end of the conversation between Kant and the two of them. Looking at the moon outside the window, it is in the middle of the sky, and it is the source of the countless bright and dim lights at night, which sprinkle the gentle veil of this desert.

It's a new week.

Sleep till dawn.

Kant gets up, there's not much government to deal with this week.

There are no surprises and surprises.

Soldiers are busy, disposing of the corpses left on the battlefield yesterday, burying them or throwing them directly to those low-level gnolls, as food for this group of captives, anyway, this group of uncivilized races, do not mind eating their own people corpse.

In other words, some food is already good.
