291: Chapter 284: Doctrine of Superior Firepower 291: Chapter 284: Doctrine of Superior Firepower Looking at lia’s sowhat blank expression, Luo’er sighed, picked up his glass, set it on the table, and then said to her, “If you’re going to attack the rebels now, you’ll need to rely on three types of power.”
“Infantry,” Luo’er said, placing a glass in front of her before continuing, “The infantry is the most basic and most populous combat unit.
Equipped with a variety of light and heavy weapons, they serve as the main combat power of the army.
Whether attacking or occupying, you can’t do it without infantry.”
“As for infantry, just have those recruits learn to use weapons, and they can beco infantry, right?” lia asked.
“Roughly speaking, yes.
But because the infantry is so large, the quality of the infantry often determines the quality of the entire army.” Luo’er explained.
“Oh!” lia nodded.
“Then there are the armored forces,” Luo’er paused, before continuing the explanation, “Here, the main composition of the armored forces are knights wearing rune heavy armor.
Their armor can effectively resist bullets and can be used to attack fortified strongholds and so on.
Of course, infantry can also take these places, but with armored forces, infantry casualties are much smaller during combat.”
“So, if a place can’t be taken by the infantry, we send in the knights?” lia asked.
“Yes,” Luo’er nodded and then continued to explain, “Considering that these knights are mostly on horseback, they can also be used as a mobile force to harass the enemy’s rear, forcing them to dispatch a large amount of manpower to round up these knights, which can also reduce the pressure on the front line.”
“Hmm!” lia nodded again.
“Lastly, there’s the artillery.
They’re a technical corps that require a certain level of education.
They may not be nurous, but they’re the soul of the entire team.
They bombard the enemy’s positions and formations to deal as much damage as possible.
Ever since humans on Earth entered the firearm era, artillery fire has often been the most lethal form of attack.” Luo’er continued.
“So, how should these three components be used?” Looking at the three glasses on the table, lia fell silent.
“There are many ways.
As long as it’s effective, it’s a good thod.
A dwarf military advisor from Earth once sumd up a simple but effective thod of attack: artillery fire followed by an infantry charge.
If the charge is obstructed, continue the artillery fire and then charge again,” Luo’er explained.
“So in this case, armored forces are unnecessary?” lia stared at the glass on the table, her brows furrowed in thought.
“Of course, this military advisor lived in the early days of the firearm era, so his thods were very simple.” Luo’er continued to explain, “On Earth, the traditional and effective thod of attack relied heavily on armored forces as the main force used to quickly penetrate and divide the battlefield, cutting off the enemy’s connection with their rear and their allies, then encircling and annihilating them.
However, the armored forces on Earth often have powerful offensive firepower.
Considering that the armored forces in the Otherworld are just knights, encircling and attacking might be sowhat challenging.”
“Thank you, I think I’m starting to understand.” lia lifted her head and said gratefully.
“You’re welco.” Luo’er nodded.
“Infantry, as the most basic land force, is mainly used for controlling occupied areas and attacking the enemy?” lia adjusted the position of the glass, then looked at him and asked.
“Yes.” Luo’er nodded in agreent.
“Then the artillery acts as the main force of the army, responsible for bombarding enemy positions before cooperating with infantry to attack and occupy?” lia continued her questioning.
“Yes, artillery has a long range, so it is usually deployed in the rear as a support force.” Luo’er nodded.
“And then, cavalry, as armored forces, have strong mobility and defense.
They’re used for rapid deploynt behind enemy lines, cutting off the connection between the enemy’s battlefield and rear.” lia asked again.
“That’s right, it seems you’ve got the hang of it already!” Luo’er nodded in approval.
“Usually, when I have spare ti, I read these military books from Earth.
Even though I usually don’t understand them, I get it now that you’ve pointed it out.” lia said joyfully.
lia had never commanded an army before, so she was completely unfamiliar with the process of army combat.
The tactics Luo’er ntioned were actually common in the Masya Kingdom’s army, but lia never had a chance to learn about them.
That’s why King Valen was confident enough to send her to quell the rebellion, because he believed that with lia’s level of understanding, she would soon obediently return to Galan.
However, King Valen would be disappointed.
After leaving Galan, lia went to Yazhi City.
In addition to negotiating cooperation with headquarters, she had also managed to purchase many translated books about the Earth’s military tactics.
When she had free ti, she would read through them.
Although she disliked military matters, she had no one reliable who was good at military affairs for her to fall back on, so she had to keep a firm hold on the military herself.
She might trust Luo’er, but he was, after all, from headquarters.
lia couldn’t just ask them to send him over.
“In any case, delegate the army recruitnt and training to those military officers, and you just need to study how to lead them in battle.
If need be, you can request headquarters to dispatch so staff officers to help you strategize,” suggested Luo’er.
“If I request, would headquarters send you over?” lia asked with a teasing smile.
“I, um…” Luo’er felt like he was being teased again.
After hesitating for a mont, he answered with a bitter smile, “I’m just a half-baked commander.
Leave out of the battles.
Moreover, I’m the captain of the advance team.
There’s a whole heap of issues at headquarters that we need to solve.”
“I was just kidding.” lia said, her head lowered.
But Luo’er could clearly feel that her tone was sowhat downcast.
“Then, about the intelligence, are you really…” After hesitating for a while, Luo’er still couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t worry, I’m not lying to you.
They haven’t made any moves yet.
In a few days, when the kingdom’s army will pass here, I will find a way to place you in the army, so you can rendezvous with them,” lia said.
“Thank you in advance then.” Luo’er sincerely said.
“No problem.” lia shook her head, but did not look up to et his gaze.
“If there is nothing else, I’ll be off now.” Luo’er scratched his head, and then said.
“Mhm.” lia was still looking down, surprisingly did not stop him.
Luo’er stood up, ready to walk out of the door.
But as soon as he turned around, lia’s voice ca from behind: “You haven’t finished your drink yet, isn’t that quite impolite?”
Luo’er paused for a mont, turned his head, and found lia was holding up the glass, looking at him with a slightly reproachful stare.
“Sorry!” Luo’er scratched his head awkwardly, then took the glass, and drained it in one gulp.
“Thank you for the hospitality.” Luo’er grimaced a little, clearly not liking the bitterness of the red wine.
lia accepted Luo’er’s glass and watched him leave.
Then, she looked at the untouched cup of wine on the table, a triumphant smile on her face.
Scratching his head, Luo’er walked back to the banquet hall, sowhat annoyed.
Cheng Ziang had wanted him to extract information from lia, in the end, he found himself even persuaded by lia.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t a bad situation, at least he knew that Masya’s army was about to pass through.
Upon entering the still bustling banquet hall, Luo’er suddenly thought of Tangmo.
He instinctively sniffed himself, confirming that there was no peculiar sll before he entered without any reservations.
Just as he stepped into the banquet hall, he ran into Baiyue.
Judging by her expression, it was clear that this wasn’t an accident, but completely intentional.
Baiyue raised her head to glance at Luo’er, and then imdiately wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest and enjoying the comfort of his embrace.
Ever since they arrived, Luo’er had been pulled back and forth between lia and Tangmo, which made Baiyue anxious.
She wanted to do sothing as a statent, yet regretted being too passive every ti.
Now that Tangmo didn’t notice Luo’er’s return, she quickly seized the opportunity to claim her share, worrying that it would be taken away.
“Yue’er, you…” Luo’er looked at her with a wry smile.
He didn’t expect that even Baiyue, such a calm and indifferent person, would participate in this jealous competition, rendering him montarily speechless.
After a deep breath, Baiyue contentedly released him.
Then, blushing, she lowered her head and silently moved away from him.
“Feeling good?” Cheng Ziang stood behind Baiyue, looking at him with a teasing smile.
“Don’t even ntion it, it feels like such bad luck.” Luo’er waved his hand, indescribable bitterness washed over him.
“Did you get any information from lia?” Cheng Ziang asked straightforwardly, getting straight to the point.
Luo’er shook his head, but then nodded, and said: “lia said, in a few days, when Masya’s army passes by, she will try to get us into the army and follow them to their destination.”
“Could it be that she couldn’t bear to let you go, and just said whatever ca to mind?” Cheng Ziang questioned.
“That shouldn’t be the case.” Luo’er said so, but deep down, he sohow felt a bit uncertain.
“Well, we can rest here for a few days anyway, it doesn’t make a difference to us.
But you’re the unlucky one.” Cheng Ziang said, looking at Luo’er with a grin.
“Should I disfigure myself?” After a mont of silence, Luo’er suggested shockingly.
“They like your personality, not your face,” Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes and said, “If it was an ordinary half-elf, do you think they would be in lia’s eyes?”
“What should I do then!” Luo’er couldn’t help but cry out in despair at the thought of what might happen in the coming days.
From a young age, Luo’er, as a half-elf, has always been the center of attention.
Although his aloof personality later scared off many people, there were still many in the academy who liked him.
Not only were there won, but there were also n.
