Chapter 868: Guerrilla Master
Gondso@Bulvik, a tactical strategist who had previously been a mid-to-lower-ranking officer in the Ligurian Federation.
As early as the time of Lacazia's military reforms, Gonso@Bulvik was keenly aware of the power of the Thunderbolt Train, and suggested that Liguria also build symmetrical weapons of his own alliance.
However, the suggestion of Gonso @ Bulvik was not taken seriously by the nobles, and he was even ridiculed as a layman of war who did not understand war at all.
There were even textbook explanations of the uselessness of the Thunderbolt train:
First of all, the Thunderbolt train is huge and slow, making it difficult to transport.
Secondly, the Thunderbolt train is expensive, has limited effect, and is extremely cost-effective.
Thirdly, because the Thunderbolt train needs to be assembled before the battle, it takes a long time, and it will cause a burden on the army, and once it is attacked by the enemy's cavalry, it is easy for the opponent to break through.
This view soon became mainstream and was accepted by almost all Liguricans.
However, the truth is always unexpected, and while the Ligurians thought that the Thunderbolt Train was useless and just a tool for creating gimmicks, the Western Lacazia used the Thunderbolt Train to teach the Liguricans a good lesson.
The Lacazians were not stupid enough to use the Thunderbolt Train to face the enemy head-on, but first used the super mobility of the cavalry to outflank the enemy from the flank and cut off the enemy's retreat, and then the infantry advanced, compressing the enemy's corps in a small space, and finally, the Thunderbolt Train came in handy to bombard the enemy's large corps indiscriminately.
With this pincer offensive, the Lacaxian launched an unprecedented blitzkrieg against the various states of Liguria, and the various countries could not resist the rapid offensive of the Lacacian army and threw themselves into it.
When Riguria fell into the flames of war, those who had laughed at Gonso @ Bulvik realized that the truth was on Gonso's side.
Therefore, when many nobles in Liguria surrendered and became puppets, Gondso@Bulvik formed a guerrilla army with some people who were unwilling to surrender, and began to guerrilla convoys in Lacazia, which caused a lot of trouble to the Lacazian army for a while.
Later, the supreme leader of the guerrilla army was captured by the Lakasian army and guillotined, but the more troublesome Gonso @ Bulvik inherited the new leader, and he seemed to be more cunning and destructive than the previous leader.
Sure enough, after attacking Lakassia's convoy, Gonsso @ Bulvik captured a Thunderbolt train, and then, began to secretly imitate it, making ten copycat versions of the Thunderbolt train, however, he is very low-key, and when he is at a disadvantage, he will not take the initiative.
In order to defeat Mordrac in one fell swoop and drive the La Casian army out of Liguria, he silently endured and prepared his fighters.
In order to weaken the will to fight of the Lacatian army, he sent many spies to gather intelligence, and at the same time, he also spent a lot of money to bribe an officer close to Morerec, as well as some junior officers.
I don't know what method Gonso @ Bulwick used, it really succeeded, many of the low-level officers in Lacasia have become the eyes of Gunso @ Bulwick, and even bringing women into the barracks was started by these junior officers first, and then it intensified, and it made the entire barracks a miasma.
And that's exactly what Gondso@Bulvik wanted to see, he just waited for the Lakassian army to lose their fighting spirit, and then dealt them a fatal blow.
Obviously, now that the opportunity had come, he led almost all the main forces of the guerrilla army to launch this unexpected late-night raid.
More than a dozen improved Thunderbolt trains, attacking together, countless incendiary bombs, were thrown into the barracks of the Lacacia army, and in an instant, the military camp of Lacacia fell into a sea of fire.
Many soldiers were burned to death on the spot, and some even died without any clothes on their bodies.
The women screamed and ran out of the tents, they were the victims of this war.
In order to win this battle, it is impossible for Gondso to leak the information of the raid to these women, although they are all daughters of Liguria, but who can guarantee that they will still be loyal to Liguria after the chaos of these few days?
In order to achieve unexpected results, many guerrilla troops even had to abandon their wives, daughters, and sisters.
Looking at the sea of fire in the barracks and listening to the screams and screams of the women, the soldiers in the guerrilla army couldn't help but pray collectively, hoping that the souls of those innocent victims could go to heaven.
After praying, Gonso @ Bulvik immediately issued the order to attack.
Numerous guerrilla troops rushed to the barracks in La Cassia with shouts.
Ji Ran stood outside the tent and heard the shouts of killing outside the barracks, shocked but not surprised.
She seemed to have expected this outcome for a long time, how could a force with such a loose military discipline win the battle?
She had advised Mordrake before not to overindulge her soldiers, otherwise, military discipline would be slack, and if the army was not disciplined, it would be a plate of scattered sand, and there would be no combat effectiveness at all.
However, Mordrak did not heed the advice at all, and now that the Ligurian guerrillas had come to take revenge, there would be no suspense in this battle, and the Lacatian army might be completely annihilated.
Ji Ran felt very sad that he was in the Lakasia army, and he actually used failure to verify his opinion, and put himself in a dangerous situation.
"Aiyi, what should I do? We couldn't escape, there was a valley behind us, and we had nowhere to go. Milia said anxiously.
It turns out that the place where they are sitting now is really a canyon, with a high cliff behind it and a river in front of it, which should be a relatively good camping spot in the art of war, but if it is besieged, it is also a dead place where there is no escape.
And now, the Lacaxian army seems to be in this kind of death.
After a period of confusion, the Lacazian army seemed to realize their current situation, and if they did not organize effective resistance, I am afraid that everyone would be doomed.
Driven by the desire to save their lives, the Lacazian army quickly organized a defensive line and began to put up desperate resistance with the guerrillas, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
"Miss Aiyi, please come with me." At this time, the general of the Modrek Guard, who was responsible for protecting Ji Ran's safety, took Ji Ran, Milia and others and retreated to a high ground in the canyon.
They looked at the barracks in flames, and the Lacaxian army in red and black uniforms and the Ligurian guerrillas in green uniforms fought fiercely.
