After Kino returned from his previous life, he fell into a deep sleep.

During the day the next day, Lugo came to the door and said that he wanted to have a war game with Chino.

Wargames is a very popular game in Doguland, played by everyone from kings to commoners.

This set of war games in the Executive Mansion is a professionally customized version. It is much more detailed than the ones played by civilians. It includes various terrain scenes such as cities, deserts, jungles, plains, etc. The design of combat units and rules of engagement also simulate real wars. It can

Directly used in tabletop military exercises.

Lugo was recently reading the "Military Theory and Practice" that Kino ordered. It had more than 1,200 pages in total. He read more than 20 pages and felt that he was already awesome and wanted to show off in front of Kino.

Of course Kino didn't refuse.

The two chose the battlefield terrain and faced off as a single legion - half of Doguland's full legion was around 6,000 to 8,000 men.

This deduction only considered command tactics, and logistical factors were excluded. For the sake of balance, both armies defaulted to having no extraordinary people, and their troop strength was set at 8,000. The number of infantry, archers, and cavalry was the same, at 5,000, 2,000, and 1,000.

I have to say that although Lugo was a rogue mercenary, he was very motivated and I read that book very carefully.

No, the frontal infantry maintains the front line, the archers suppress it from a distance, and the cavalry weaves in and outflanks. He has already mastered this most basic tactic - at least on the chessboard.

Pushing and pushing, Lugo laughed heartily: "It seems that our administrator doesn't know how to fight. Why don't you protect the archers in the middle and actually put them on the flanks for fire suppression? Look how my cavalry can overwhelm you!"

As soon as Lugo moved the cavalry to the flanks to charge into the formation, Kino smiled lightly and said: "Well, you should learn more and use cavalry to attack the pike formation. This is suicide."

Lugo looked confused and looked at the soldier card: "What do you mean? Isn't this an archer array?"

Kino spread out the strategy cards in his hand and showed them to Lugo.

There are two types of strategy cards in war games. One is the "pre-war strategy card". Once the strategy is written, it cannot be moved. It represents the march and formation before the expedition.

The other is the "wartime strategy card", which allows the commander to adjust tactics at any time based on real-time battle conditions.

What Kino handed over at this time was a pre-battle strategy card, which clearly stated that the archer arrays on the flanks were all disguised as infantry.

On the surface, these infantrymen hold bows and arrows to suppress enemy formations with firepower. In fact, their spears are hidden in the haystacks at their feet. Once they are attacked by cavalry, they can switch weapons in a short time to form a phalanx of spears.

The real main bow and arrow array is hidden in the woods on the hillside behind.

Before Lugo could react, the cavalrymen outflanking him on both sides had been stabbed with spears until they could no longer care for themselves. They were also attacked by the firepower of archers on the hillside. They were all wiped out before they had time to retreat.

Once the cavalry was wiped out, the mobility of Lugo's legion was severely reduced, and it was difficult to change formations, and could only stand still and be beaten like a tortoise.

Kino then mobilized his cavalry to surround Lugo's flanks and complete the encirclement and annihilation.

According to data deduction, Lugo's 8,000 men were wiped out, while Chino only lost more than 1,800 infantry and more than 100 cavalry.

Lugo was so angry that his mouth twisted: "You, you, you, this doesn't count! How can anyone play the mutiny card half way? This is not a lie!"

"The strategy card before the war was written clearly. This is my arrangement. Soldiers are always deceitful. I blame you for sending out all the cavalry without seeing the situation clearly. Even if you sent 200 cavalry to explore the road first, it would not be the last one.

The entire army was wiped out." Kino put away his troop cards and asked with a smile, "How about another round?"

"Come again, come again!" Lugo agreed quickly, eager to avenge his shame.

In the next few hours, Lugo experienced the most desperate moment of his life.

Although Kino is not a professional military strategist, he reads a lot of books and likes to review history. He has a large number of war cases in his mind, both in his past life and in this world. He can march and form formations like a fish out of water, just like a real general.

And Lugo is now just a dilettante who has read more than 20 pages of military books and feels good about himself.

Kino didn't even need to use any rare tricks. He just used "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" in turn, and he tortured Lugo until he doubted his life.

After Lugo lost 20 games in a row, Kino promised him a "welfare round" and ordered a retreat as soon as the battle began, allowing the soldiers to abandon their armor and flee to the valley.

Lugo was really stupid and sent people to chase him in. As a result, when he was halfway through the chase, Kino said "Haha, I lied to you." Then ambushes appeared on both sides of the valley, and they directly pried huge rocks to block the retreat, and Lugo was killed.

The legions were locked inside and surrounded and annihilated.

After losing 21 rounds, Lugo was already unconscious. Without saying a word, he picked up "Military Theory and Practice" and went home to read it at night by candlelight.

After educating Lugo, Kino sat in front of the piano and played "Für Elise" for a while.

In his previous life, Chino passed the King's Play Level 8 with a score of 148, and basic pieces such as "To Elise" came naturally to him like a duck to water.

He was playing the piano, and the little black cat was lying on the piano stand listening, which was very pleasant.

After a while, a raven landed on the window and pecked at the window, making a thumping sound.

Kino put an end to it, stood up, opened the window, took off the letter tied to the raven's feet, and let it fly.

The letter was from Resakhar.

Kino opened the letter, browsed it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In addition to daily greetings, the letter also mentioned a very important thing - on the 30th of Huixue, which is the last day of this year, King Dogulland XXIV will hold a New Year's banquet in the "King City".

Hal invites Kino to accompany him.

...

3 days ago.

The capital of Tayu Province, Lenglie Valley.

The Tayu Province is located in the northernmost part of Doguland, and the Cold Valley is the coldest place in the kingdom. As far as the eye can see, it is full of frozen soil that never melts, forming an endless ice zone. The indestructible black ice even freezes below the ground.

Nearly 100 meters.

Even in the hottest "red lotus season", the temperature here is around minus 15 degrees. During this "snow season", the temperature reaches over minus 70 degrees.

However, such a restricted area that is difficult for ordinary life to reach is the headquarters of one of the five royal families, the "Regnome Family".

The extremely cold valley was originally covered in white ice, but when the dragon broke through the cold current and approached, the hot temperature caused violent ripples in the air, making the wind and snow even more messy and swaying wantonly.

After landing on the dragon's perch, Lesakhar took off his riding gear and jumped off the dragon's back. The half-smoked cigarette in his mouth was still burning before. After entering the Cold Valley, it was immediately extinguished by the severe cold and became knotted.

Thick frost.

In the white wind and snow, you can vaguely see a figure in the distance. His upper body is bare and his skin is covered with battle scars. He is using a brush to clean the scales of a golden dragon in front of him.

Resakhar smiled and called: "Sting!"

The figure turned his head. He was a middle-aged man who had been weathered for years but still had a heroic spirit. He looked older than Lesakhar. He was very tall and tall, more than two meters tall, and had steel-hard cheeks.

Hu has been dyed white by wind and frost, but it cannot conceal the murderous aura stained by the dust of the journey.

Sting Delin Regnom, the current leader of the Regnom family, the sixth sequence of "natural disasters", has the most powerful dragon in the entire Doguland.

"Lesakhar, my brother~" Sting came over and bumped shoulders with Raysakhar, "Welcome home."

Resakhar lamented: "I love the Cold Valley so much. Only the temperature here can make me feel comfortable."

"Haha, the king always tells me to move the capital, saying that this place is too difficult to enter. I don't agree. How can I easily move away from such a livable land~" Sting threw the brush into the frozen bucket.
