Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After Harvey decided to launch a revenge operation against the border of neighboring Barkley, he immediately issued a war order to the territory's military.

The increasingly powerful military headquarters immediately launched pre-war preparations, and all departments were operating efficiently.

The source of ammunition and drug resources produced from the Spark City Military Factory are constantly transported through the Ralph River to Silversong City and Montenegro Port, which are closest to the front line. These two cities are located in southern Saint Valen and are the closest war to the border fief of the Principality of Barkley. front.

After spring plowing, the new recruits who have experienced two rounds of enrollment have basically completed enlistment training. Among them, those with excellent performance were directly split and disbanded. The first battalion of the North Army, which is still stationed in the royal capital, is still used as flank troops. The troops were replenished and were assigned to the second and third battalions stationed in Yinsong City and Heishan Port.

In this way, the actual force that can be used for combat in the entire southern border has been rapidly expanded to more than 5,000 people. Not to mention that it is only used to deal with a border grand duke of a neighboring country. As long as the logistics support is kept up, even if you advance directly to the west, you can use the sages to achieve the goal of using the sages. There is no problem with the city of Gores.

Of course, such a large-scale war mobilization also aroused the ambitions of many middle and upper-level officers of the Northern Army - they were not willing to just conquer the achievements of an ordinary fief nobleman, and the combat report presented to Harvey like snowflakes Among them, there are many more radical ideas and suggestions, and even vaguely regarding neighboring Barkley and the Pope adjacent to Daes as the next offensive targets.

Harvey is naturally just laughing at this. Although these officers have indeed surpassed many ordinary military aristocrats in the current era in terms of thought and actions, they are still a little short-sighted than the time traveler who has experienced modern wars in his previous life. ——The large-scale modern war relies on strong military industry and logistics capabilities. With the current manufacturing level and transportation capabilities of Xinghuo City, the further away from the North, the higher the corresponding cost of each war is consumed, regardless of The consequences of the war will only gradually drag down the Spark City, which has just emerged in industrialization.

Although there are sufficient troops available, judging from the information provided by the "Earth Fellows", Harvey believes that the task of this "debt collection operation" is not very difficult. After discussing with Pierce, who is in the old capital, he decided to finalize the The number of troops to go to the expedition was set at 2,000. Pierce personally commanded by Vaughn. The first battalion commanded by Vaughn was the main combat force. The second battalion stationed in Yinsong City and the third battalion in Montenegro Port each sent 500 more people to the side wing Give assistance.

Considering that the Grand Duke on the Barkley border is loyal to the church, the Holy See may appear in the battle of the Holy See's combat priest or high-level blood knights, some spellcasters from the Academy of Magical Sciences will also go out with the team, including Prael and Sirius, who are also high-level. The two led a team, carrying a large number of combat-type alchemy beasts that can be controlled, and officially put the alchemy creation into the southern battlefield.

With the initial prototype of the General Staff Department, planning and coordination, it took less than a week from Harvey's order to completing the assembly and preparation. The members of the staff who rushed to the old capital and met with the commander Pierce in advance, continued to go to the expedition. The officers repeatedly discussed various tactical details to ensure that this overseas combat operation was foolproof.

On the issue of real opportunity for war, the officers who came to the front line to command the operations, and the staff who had just integrated into the military system and were not yet adapted to the local conditions, had different opinions and were difficult to make a final conclusion.

The battalion commander Vaughn has always been a traditional faction who is good at attacking tough battles. He always believed that as long as the firepower is strong enough, the level pushes and troops are directly under the city... There is no problem, twenty cannons cannons can be fired together with floating airships to bomb. In his opinion, as long as the logistics support is guaranteed and the expedition team fully utilizes its firepower advantage, it can take the capital of the border Grand Duke's fiefdom of at most three days, without any need to engage in any twists and turns to lure the enemy.

Young staff members trained by Harvey and Asdaren are more inclined to lure the enemy out of a solid city, set the battle's fight in the wild without any dangers, and avoid excessive ammunition and drug resources in the siege. Consumption can also have the effect of destroying the enemy's vitality in one fell swoop.

According to information, since Barkley expelled and dismissed the church forces in the royal capital, many church personnel and devout believers fled to Lanjing City under the rule of the Grand Duke of the Border. The entire border fiefdom has become the only remaining faith of the church in Barkley. In the land, once the city is besieged and fought... it is difficult to ensure that those believers will not actively participate in urban defense under the temptation of the church, and even fight directly with the Northern Army.

This kind of thing happened many times in the conflict between St. Valen and Daus... The Union had no choice but to retreat again and again, and chose to avoid the war and retreat several times. ——No real-powerful person in a high position will never want to bear the harsh crime of massacre of ordinary people, and the consequences of losing people's hearts cannot be borne at all.

"Siege is indeed a simpler and more rude way for you, but the ammunition and medicine consumed is also a bottomless pit. The logistics capacity of various places was very tight when it was approaching a bumper harvest. If you continue to waste it so unscrupulously, even if you defeat the Grand Duke on the Border... ...The seizure of the proceeds is probably difficult to make up for the losses we went to fight! "

The war was originally initiated under the name of debt collection and revenge. In essence, it was to rob a large amount of food and property that was plundered. If the final result was consumed more than the income, then this military operation would be completely A loss-making deal.

The military was naturally dissatisfied with the staff's remarks, and felt that the other party seemed to treat them as "prodigal sons" who would only waste supplies. The battalion commander jumped out and said angrily: "After all, isn't it just the problem of excessive consumption of ammunition in siege warfare? Humph, without artillery and air support, can't we take down the stone doghouse of a bumpkin lord? My third battalion can take on the task of siege operations and be responsible for climbing the city wall and seizing the city gate!"

Wayne was so angry at the words of this reckless man that he rolled his eyes. How could he increase his strength for no reason? It was simply a stupid act done out of anger... At Vaughn's repeated eye signals, he quickly kicked the other party hard under the table and told him to shut up immediately.

The staff officers, however, were not afraid of the angry provocations of these ferocious officers. They patiently explained: "To save ammunition and supplies, it is even more counterproductive to let soldiers fight in close combat at the risk of death, isn't that a practice that puts the cart before the horse?"

"Spending a lot of time to lure them out of the city they are defending to fight will also extend the combat cycle... The consumption is no less than siege warfare!"

"And the Border Grand Duke has several military noble forces under his command. It takes a lot of time to recruit and gather them all. It is better to launch a quick raid and go straight to the Grand Duke's nest, not giving him the opportunity and time to gather his forces, and catch him off guard!"

"What if the other party gets wind of it in advance and retreats to the castle of their fiefdoms and refuses to come out... We still need to clean them up one by one, and every battle is an offensive battle!"

"So directly raiding the capital of the Border Grand Duke's fiefdom is the most appropriate combat plan!"

Pierce listened calmly to the officers and staff officers arguing in a mess. Seeing that everyone's opinions were almost the same, he took the initiative to stand up and make the decision directly.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Okay, I've heard all your opinions... No need to argue anymore. We will divide our troops into three groups for this operation. Two flanks will be responsible for harassing the border and cutting off their intelligence transmission, while the main force will directly attack the border Grand Duke's fiefdom, Lanjing City, and strive to completely capture it within one day... Then block the news, release a fake distress signal, and attract military nobles from other fiefdoms under his command to come to reinforce."

The combat strategy used to target the old capital Jinhui City was now copied to overseas combat operations. Pierce believed that it would also have a good effect.
