Mage Veigar

Chapter 396 Killing a chicken with a bull’s knife
street fighting.

What is this tactical theory?
It is hard to imagine that as a graduate of the Central Military Academy, he could not understand or even see these two words.

Then look down.

Next, he encountered a series of tactical theories that he had never heard of or seen before, such as occupying commanding heights, utilizing terrain, guerrilla warfare, flexible use of magic and arrows...

Ilo never knew.

It turned out that urban warfare actually existed in this world, which completely overturned what he had learned in the past three years.

And judging from this battle plan.

Vega not only explained to him the extremely detailed theory of the entire tactic, but also wrote down in detail how to use the terrain of Saint Laurent to fight this street battle.

As long as you have this plan.

Even an ordinary soldier...

No! Even if it is a pig, as long as it follows the above requirements, arranges troops at commanding heights, important traffic routes, sturdy buildings, hidden basements... and sets up supply points and hiding places, it can directly launch a massacre against the enemy.

Although Yiluo's command level is unable to draw inferences from one example to another.

However, he keenly realized that as long as he fought the war according to this tactical theory, even if the enemy's number was more than twice his, he could easily kill them in the city.

"It turns out that even if the city gate is captured, there is still hope of victory."

Yiluo muttered to himself. This theory was completely contrary to what he had learned in military school. However, in terms of theory, it was obvious that the street fighting theory was superior and more reasonable.

But theory is just theory.

Only theories that have been tested in war are qualified tactical theories.

Therefore, Yiluo deployed his troops according to the plan, began to reorganize the soldiers, and sent the main force to occupy the commanding heights, occupy advantageous terrain, and set up hiding points and supply points.

The more he followed the plan, the more he realized how terrible the tactical theory of street fighting was.

The simple characteristic of the dragon that can't be seen from the head but not the tail is enough to make the enemy lose their way and lead the enemy into their own rhythm of war. Once the battle falls into the enemy's rhythm, there will be no suspense.

And now.

Ilo probably guessed that the reason why he had never seen similar tactics in the Central Military Academy was probably because this tactic was first created by Vega. It goes without saying how terrifying a general who can create tactics is.

And willing to share his tactics with his subordinates.

This is more tempting than any reward for military merit or increase in status.

Rather than giving someone fish, Yiluo prefers to teach them how to fish.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Veigar for his generous sharing and great training for him. Although Veigar himself did not have this idea, he was simply unable to get away, but Iroh obviously did not know this...

Now Yiluo is full of confidence in this war.

With this confidence, time passed quietly until 3:00 in the morning, which was the time when Callison planned to attack.

Carol was the first to act.

Due to his extremely powerful individual strength, he easily killed the guards guarding the city, opened the gate of Saint Laurent, and allowed Callison's 5 soldiers to march straight in.

After opening the city gate.

Carol rode alone towards the palace.

He did not forget Kellison's instructions. In order to ensure Xia's safety, he needed to take her to Kellison's military base. He did not even realize that for Xia's safety was just an excuse. Kellison just wanted to use Xia to take the initiative in the war.

"All troops, attack."

Kellison gave the order to attack: "For the glory of His Majesty, for His Majesty's safety, kill the imperial officer who attempted to seize the dynasty, and let the people of the empire know that our Holy Dynasty is not weak and can be bullied."

blah blah blah!
5 soldiers stormed the gates of Saint Laurent.

The crisp sound of military boots stepping on the stone road broke the noise of the night and awakened this majestic city that has stood for thousands of years. However, after rushing into Saint Laurent City, the expected enemy did not appear.

What greeted them were streets with flickering magic lights, dark alleys, and residential areas without any signs of lights. The entire city of Saint Laurent seemed to have turned into a ghost town.

Surprising.

It's extremely weird.

According to Callison's prediction, at this time, the enemy should have sounded the alarm of the enemy attack, and then after hastily assembling, they would be annihilated in one fell swoop by his 5 troops who were ready for battle.

But now, not to mention the enemy, even the alarm bells have not been sounded.

The Saint Laurent city that he was familiar with was stranger than ever before, like... like... a demon city that devoured the flesh and blood of the living. The demon minions in the city seemed to have opened their bloodthirsty eyes.

"illusion."

"This must be an illusion."

Although Kerison's war instinct told him that it was dangerous ahead, it was still time to retreat.

But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. He has already done such a thing and there is no turning back. He must kill that little devil today, otherwise he will be listed as a traitor by the dynasty tomorrow.

But just as he made up his mind, a fireball fell from the sky.

First one, then two... three... and finally it turned into a rain of fire.

Boom boom boom——

The hot breath echoed, and although the highly focused earth mage urgently launched a defense, the residual power of the flame explosion killed some soldiers, and the prelude to this war was officially opened.

"Residential area, they are in the residential area!"

Kellison waved his hand and said, "All troops, gather at 2 o'clock. Kill all the imperial troops without leaving a single one alive. Let the enemy know that in the face of absolute numbers, any conspiracy, trick, trap or ambush is nothing but a joke."

slam-la-

The 5-strong army was easily drawn into the residential area with the most complex terrain.

The buildings here are uneven in height, the streets and alleys are crisscrossed, there are dark places where even the sunlight cannot penetrate, and there are also indestructible government buildings... This is the best place to start street fighting.

Soldiers who are familiar with street fighting feel like fish in water here.

For those who know nothing, this is their hell.

Callison didn't know that this battle plan was not originally prepared for him.

In fact.

This plan was originally prepared by Vega in order to prevent Tanir's 20 troops from becoming desperate and forcibly attacking Saint Laurent. However, when Tanir saw Vega, he was frightened and retreated more than 300 miles.

That's why.

Vega's battle plan of combining street fighting and guerrilla warfare was useless, but Vega never thought that -

By some mistake.

This tactic, which was originally used against the 20-strong royal army, was now being used against the mere 5 soldiers of Kellison.

In Vega's eyes, Kerison's troops could only be described as "insignificant".

Not only is the number four times smaller, but the quality of this dynasty army is also many times worse than that of the kingdom army.

Vega was even greatly disappointed by this.

It's like you have made a dragon-slaying sword and are about to kill a dragon to add to the fun, but in the end you are told that the dragon has already been scared away and now there is only a small lizard left who is ignorant of the world and you can kill it or not.
