The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 143: An army with only infantry

Views:

Manid knew a little about interrogation.

As a genius from a businessman's family, he knows the art of multilingualism, such as intimidation, giving both favors and threats, and offering benefits, which are the most basic routines in business negotiations.

Changing the way of thinking and changing the method is actually the technique of interrogation.

Manid took his leave and stepped back.

The matter of interrogation and the soldiers in charge of intimidation were quickly arranged.

that night.

The results of the interrogation had already been recorded on the parchment and presented to Kant in written form.

It's just that the result was a bit unexpected.

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

Take the information obtained from the interrogation of the captives as an example. For this operation, the Gray Mane Kingdom directly mobilized all the elite except for the necessary defense forces of the country, and almost recalled all the controlling forces outside the coast of Mannheim, for the purpose of aggression The human kingdoms of the Nalun Desert turned the southern part of the desert into a colony of the Graymane Kingdom.

The idea of sinking the boat is an extremely bold strategy.

There is an aura of success or success.

But in Kant's view.

These high-ranking gnolls never considered that if their strategic actions to colonize the human countries failed, and the forces on the coast of Mannheim shrank and languished, they would be unable to move forward, unable to retreat, and would be besieged to death.

The consequences could be disastrous.

"They think the human kingdom is weak."

Manid noticed Kant's thoughts and shrugged his shoulders to report: "In their view, one wolf infantry can easily deal with three human infantry, and if the wolf man starts to fight for his life, he can deal with five human infantry."

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

Fatis also declined to comment, but it is equivalent to acquiescing that this sentence is correct.

That's the way it is.

The height of a wolf man can generally reach 2.3 meters, and the weight of a high-level wolf man with sufficient nutrition can often reach 300 kilograms. All of them are tall and heavy, and they are full of strong muscles.

The speed, strength, and load-bearing capacity brought by this body are much stronger than the infantry of human countries.

Don't say it's a duel between individuals.

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

But Kant picked up the parchment again.

Looking at the records above, the tone of the Greymane Kingdom's troop composition and battle sequence is a bit strange: "But, these jackals, don't they think that the human kingdom is composed of infantry just like them? "

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

"Hmph." Fatis let out a cold snort in his nasal cavity, frowned and said, "This seems to be a joke."

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

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

Because the Nalun Desert is a natural moat.

There has never been any communication between the coast of Mannheim, which is connected to the Sea of Stars, and the Principality of Lions, which is connected to the inland.

Neither side understands the other.

It is even less clear about the opponent's military level and arms structure.

But now it seems that the Greymane Kingdom on the coast of Mannheim, a country composed of high-ranking gnolls, is too outrageous. Its operations rely mainly on heavy infantry, and even long-range troops are recruited by mercenaries or lizardmen. The captives served as an auxiliary soldier, and they also served as engineering soldiers, transport soldiers and other miscellaneous arms during wartime.

"They have never seen cavalry, and there are no horses on the coast of Mannheim."

Manid seemed to think of something, so he added: "The only similar troop is the Moon Deer Cavalry of the elves. They use bows and arrows to fight at a distance, and their fighting ability at close range is quite weak."

"Cavalry archers." Kant raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

On the prairie in the southeast of Calradia, the elite of the Kujit people is the veteran Kujit cavalry archer.

The strongest cavalry archers in the entire continent.

Involved in the tactics of the plain area, these cavalry archers can even compete with the two strongest heavy cavalry at level 5, the Swadian knight and the Mamluk. Accurate and deadly feathered arrows.

For the cavalry archers who are good at guerrilla, they never fight head-on.

The Swadians prefer to charge and win.

Fatis opened his mouth and expressed his puzzlement: "I don't understand how the Gray Mane Kingdom is so stupid that it wants to colonize human countries with only heavy infantry. At least I understand that the Lion Principality is also a country dominated by heavy cavalry. , The power of fighting on the plains is simply not comparable to that of these 3,000 heavy infantry."

"The information is not equal." Manid frowned slightly, giving this conclusion.

Kant nodded: "Maybe so."

Only this conclusion can explain the underestimation and arrogance of the Gray Mane Kingdom.

Since no heavy cavalry battles have ever occurred on the coast of Mannheim, they would never have imagined that humans would ride on horses, fully armored, and charge them with spears.

What's more, the heavy cavalry in the charging state can't even stop the pike phalanx.

Not to mention history.

Even the continent of Calradia has proved this point.

As long as the terrain is suitable.

The charged heavy cavalry, even the 4th-level Swadian heavy cavalry, can crush the strongest 6th-level infantry, the infantry formation formed by the Nord royal guards, knocking these infantry butchers to the ground abruptly , easily trampled by horseshoes.

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

Also suitable for cavalry combat.

"This time, we're really going to be prepared."

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 have no capital to underestimate the enemy.

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

No reinforcements.

There is no backup force.

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

Compared with the Gray Mane Kingdom, which has a strong background, they don't have any capital to underestimate the enemy.

Come late at night.

The guards all began to change their guards for the night.

The conversation between Kant and the two of them was just over. Looking out of the window, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and reflected with the bright galaxy, it became the source of countless bright lights at night, and sprinkled the gentle tulle of this desert.

A new week has arrived.

Sleep until dawn.

Kant got up, he didn't have too many government affairs to deal with this week.

No surprises or surprises.

The soldiers were busy disposing of the corpses left on the battlefield yesterday, burying them or throwing them directly to those low-level gnolls as food for the captives. Anyway, this group of uncivilized races didn't mind eating their own corpses.

In other words, it is good to eat some.
