Chapter 382 Wealthy War (Subscribe!!!)

On July 7, Moscow, at 8 pm, the sun was shining brightly.

The dust was flying outside the city. Onufri and Raffle, who had recovered from their injuries long ago, led the 15th and 19th cavalry regiments to set off first. More than 1 cavalrymen were divided into two groups, galloping on the left and right roads, from east to west. Head towards Tver.

Not long after, the train loaded with artillery also set off, and the remaining tens of thousands of infantry were the last to act. They lined up outside the station to board the train, carrying rucksacks and holding 'Edward [-]' rifles. Everyone's face, They are covered with traces of vicissitudes left by the wind and snow.

This is a real veteran, an army trained by Peter the Great himself, and fought through the flames of war. It is also the last elite of the Romanov Kingdom.

If there are enough troops, Katerina will never organize all the elites into one corps, but let them lead, train and protect the recruits. While maximizing their combat effectiveness, they should also cultivate the next batch of soldiers for the kingdom. elite.

However, Katerina did not recruit too many recruits. People who had just experienced the war did not seem to want to participate in the war. In other words, in order not to make the direction of Petersburg suspicious, Katerina has not recruited large-scale troops, and the number of recruits is not as high as One fifth of veterans.

On the horseback, Katerina inspected the soldiers boarding the chariot, clutching the reins tightly. Although her face was expressionless, she was very worried.

"Your Highness, you seem very nervous."

Ma Wei, who was also patrolling the army on horseback, saw Katerina's mood hidden under the mask: "Are you worried about these soldiers?"

".They are the last elite of the Romanov Kingdom. Once they are all killed, who will pass on the experience to the recruits? The recruits without any battlefield experience, even if they have received professional military training, have to adapt to the battlefield for a long time. Time, this is the most dangerous moment, and the vast majority of recruits fall during this period." Katerina said: "But if there is an experienced veteran by your side, the situation will be completely different."

"Often one action, one look, one word can save a soldier's life."

Ma Wei knew what Katerina was worried about. These veterans are the treasures of the Romanov Kingdom. It is not to be placed on the frontal battlefield to fight decisively with the enemy's main force.

What's more, the enemy on the opposite side of the position is also a soldier of the Romanov Kingdom.

Katerina is definitely not an indecisive person, she is just worried about the prospect of this decisive battle.

Archbishop Henry has 60 troops and 3000 monks. On the other hand, he has 10 troops and 500 monks.
A full 6 times worse!
This is no longer sandwiched with raw rice, it is not cooked at all, and it is hard to swallow.

Katerina glanced at Ma Wei, who was riding a horse with a straight waist, and seeing his calm expression, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Father, aren't you nervous?"

"I believe His Highness can defeat Duke Ivanovic, and the Wisdom God Sect is the opponent I should worry about."

"If the priest can stop the Wisdom Cult, I will definitely be able to defeat Duke Ivanovich."

"Oh?" Ma Wei was surprised: "There is a gap of 6 times the force, are you still so confident, Your Highness?"

Katerina smiled: "Because Onufri and each of them are generals who can stand on their own, all they need is a leader with a strategic vision. The only variable is the God of Wisdom. "

A monk who knows magic is fundamentally different from an ordinary soldier.

A veteran can rely on his rich experience to kill multiple enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but it is difficult for a monk to face more than two extraordinary people at the same time.

Unless their strength completely crushes each other.

60 to 10 is not the same thing as 500 to 3000.

Especially when the monks could jointly sing and cast magic, the failure of the Church of Truth had already been revealed before the war started.

The middle-level combat power has fallen into a complete disadvantage, and if you want to make up for it, you have to look at the top-level combat power.

Mavi, or Junia, must defeat Archbishop Henry and Virgin Constance!

In the evening, the soldiers took the train one by one and set off towards Tver. Mawei and others, as well as the monks of the Church of Truth, were also on the train. Silence, quite a kind of solemnity that is about to come.

As the train moves along the rails, the sun gradually fades into the horizon and night falls.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, with a screech of brakes, the train began to slow down and entered the Tver station.

As soon as Ma Wei and the others got off the bus, they saw Goffman waiting outside the station. Having arrived in Tver a few hours earlier, he had already obtained first-hand information.

"Your Highness, the army group led by the Dukes of Ivanovic and Tbilisi has arrived outside the city, just across the river, and is stationed. Onufri wants to sneak attack them at night."

Walking quickly into the command post, Katerina looked at the map around Tver, and immediately rejected Onufri's proposal: "Tver is on the upper reaches of the Volga River, and the place where Duke Ivanovich and the others are stationed is the riverside. , it is not winter, the cavalry want to launch a surprise attack, they must either cross the river by force, or make a big circle, then the enemy has already occupied a favorable position. Nufri is back."

"Yes!"

During the defense of Tyumen City, Katerina used the frozen river to attack the headquarters of the Second Army overnight. It was because of a lack of information, but Duke Ivanovich was not the Marquess of James, and Tver was not Harsha. Village, what Katerina knew, Prince Ivanovitch knew too.

Duke Ivanovich, who had participated in the defense of Tyumen, would definitely be wary of Katerina's sneak attack at night.

"Father, look"

Katerina pointed to the map and said, "The north of Tver City is a large plain, with only a few jungles on the left and right to cover it. If we spread out all the 60 troops, it will become a net and surround us."

The gap in troop strength limits the tactics that Katerina can adopt. The large number of enemy troops can completely spread out the formation, but Katerina dare not do this. Gradually cannibalized.

Gathering troops and guarding the city is not enough. Duke Ivanovich has thousands of cannons and enough ammunition to bomb Tver day and night. Staying in the city can only sit and wait for death.

"Then we are doomed to lose?" Levin said with his eyes widened, "The enemy will make dumplings for the offense, and the defense will be bombed. How do we fight this battle?!"

Katerina glanced at Levin, thought about it and said: "If you want to win more with less, you need to use surprise soldiers. Time is in our favor, not in favor of the Kingdom Army. The longer the war drags on, the more difficult it will be for the Kingdom Army to supply logistics. So... let's first What we have to do is to disturb the enemy's morale!"

"What do you mean?" Levine couldn't understand.

"Trench warfare." Ma Wei said suddenly, "Your Highness, do you want to fight trench warfare?"

"That's right!"

Katerina walked to the sand table and drew a few long lines on the northern plain of Tver: "During the battle with the Kingdom of Windsor, I found that they used a tactic called trenches, digging trenches on the ground, soldiers Hidden in the trenches, with barbed wire outside the trenches, and if the enemy attacks, the soldiers shoot in the trenches!"

"The two-meter-deep trench can not only avoid shells, but also slow down the enemy's charge speed. As long as we push the position forward, we can keep Tver out of the range of the enemy's artillery!"

"Well, Your Highness, what if the enemy doesn't confront us head-on?" Makarov frowned and asked, "Tver is next to Rzhev. If Duke Ivanovich orders the division of troops, let the Duke of Tbilisi Leading the Southwest Front Army to attack Rzhev and raid the rear of our army, how should we respond?"

Although trench warfare can hold back the enemy, it also held back Katerina's footsteps.

Once the enemy captures Rzhev, Mosk will be in danger, once Mosk is in danger.
Tver will become a lonely city, completely besieged by the enemy.

"Don't worry, if we use trench warfare, we don't need to arrange too many soldiers in the trenches, we just need to leave the front artillery positions here, so that the enemy will mistakenly think that this is our main force. At this time, our vacated army can Arrange for an ambush on the only way to Rzhev!"

Listening to Katerina's strategic arrangement, the generals pondered, some thought it was worth a try, and some thought it was too risky.

In the temporary command post, voices of opposition and support were mixed, and it was very noisy.

"Why do you bother?"

The room was suddenly quiet, and Onufri, Makarov and others all looked at Ma Wei, "Do you have a better way?"

"We have the help of blood, Edward."

Under Mawei's call, Edward, who was leaning against the corner, stepped out of the darkness and came to the sand table.

"The artillery can't shoot at the air, and the blood race can fly. Why don't we take advantage of this and let the blood race members carry explosives and fly over the enemy's position to bomb it?"

Ma Wei said in a flat tone: "If you bomb a few more times, the morale of the enemy army will naturally collapse. Air supremacy can determine the direction of a war."

"Dominance of the air?" The generals were shocked, hearing this tactic for the first time.

"Yes, air supremacy."

Ma Wei stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the sand table, enclosing the place where the enemy troops were stationed in the middle: "We have sufficient logistics, countless ammunition, and the air supremacy is firmly in our hands. How can we play such a rich battle?" Isn’t tactical bombing good?”
