That's it.
Under William's order, the imperial army only left ten or twenty thousand troops to monitor Tabriz and prevent them from breaking out or escaping. otbnkotgt Of course, in addition to this, all the camps and flags were left behind as a trick to deceive the guys in Tabriz.
Originally, William had considered whether to plan the plan first, that is, to spread rumors that the dark elf army had arrived.
William's main force had already gone to attack, and those who were left behind in the camp were all second-line troops.
The old, weak, sick and disabled, their combat effectiveness is completely rubbish.
In this way, maybe the guys in Tabriz will happily come out waaaagh and want to take advantage of it.
When the time comes, the Imperial Conqueror Legion, which has been ambushing them for a long time, will come out and teach them a lesson.
After suffering this loss, when the main army of the Hereford family really leaves, these guys will think that this is William's trick, so they will just stick to the city and will never come out to have sex with William. battle.
Well, well, well, come to think of it, this kind of insidious ploy is quite enjoyable.
Unfortunately, William underestimated the fear of these guys.
Even if William deliberately made the camp look empty, the guys in Tabriz didn't have the courage to go out of the city to fight.
These guys were completely frightened by the near-abnormal performance of the conqueror's army.
So William had no choice but to resort to tricks again and again, and then the army that had already been ambushed showed up pretending to be dejected.
Deliberately let the Tabriz garrison see it.
In this way, the defenders of Tabriz would understand that William's previous rumor-mongering was a ploy.
The same tactical goals can be achieved.
After struggling like this for a day, after making sure that the guys in Tabriz were frightened and would not pose any threat to their own retreat, William happily went towards the army of 100,000 dark elves and killed them.
He had collected evidence and confirmed that the nearest reinforcements to the Ottoman armies were hundreds of kilometers away.
At least for a week, these scumbags were unable to provide them with any assistance.
In other words, as long as William can defeat or even kill all these guys within a week, there will be no problem at all.
In this battle, he will be able to get enough opportunities.
Compared with the opponent's strength of 28 points and 37 points, he can improve it to 46 points.
Yes, only a 40% chance of winning.
Even after doing so much, William believed that he actually only had a 40% chance of winning.
This calculation is based on the situation that the opponent's combat effectiveness far exceeds our own.
William's two regular army prairie legions have assigned a division to Freya, asking her to support the situation in the east.
In addition to this, William left another brigade under Tabriz to monitor the situation.
Coupled with the troops that were lost before, and some engineers and baggage troops that were not very mobile and remained under the city of Tabriz, there were now only 20,000 regular troops under William's command.
And it's a full cavalry unit.
In contrast, the dark elves have a large number of elites, including the Royal Guards composed of the dark elves.
The dark elves have trained mechanical-like troops since they were young.
That is, the new army has several legions each, as many as hundreds of thousands. .
In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Army Corps after military reform is not as bad as imagined.
No matter what kind of army they are, they are capable of fighting.
Under such circumstances, it was already a miracle that William was able to push the battle situation and the comparison of combat effectiveness between the two sides to four to six.
Moreover, William's own command ability and combat effectiveness should be added to this ratio.
It can be said that the only weapon that William is currently confirmed to be able to defeat the enemy is the artillery unit.
Although there are only cavalry cannons, the lethality of these artillery using the new gunpowder picric acid is much greater than that of the old artillery.
This is what William believes that the most crucial point for him to win is artillery.
If the power of artillery can be used properly, then he will greatly increase the possibility of winning in this war.
Otherwise, he will fail.
Of course, this is a tactic that will only be used in the final battle.
Before that, William could not use his artillery power too much.
He even had to hide the news that he had a powerful artillery force.
Because only in this way can the suddenness of war be achieved.

Fortunately, the enemy's 100,000 troops at the front did not require much artillery power to destroy them.
One hundred thousand troops, although the configuration is pretty good.
But in William's opinion it was still too old-fashioned.
What's more important is that these guys, just like the Tabriz people before this, did not expect that William would dare to take the initiative to attack them when their combat effectiveness was completely inferior to them.
Of course, William's tactic of taking the initiative to attack Tabriz also scared the commander of this army.
However, after a period of discussion, the dark elf commander of this army and his staff all believed that William's tactic was very good.
It's unexpected and the effect is outstanding.
But it is also a sign of being forced to do nothing.
"They have to kill those guys.
Otherwise, when we join forces, the army will exceed 600,000.
Such a large army is not something William can defeat anyway.
So he has to take the lead and destroy Zoroas De.”
The dark elves finally came to this conclusion.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but praise him: "This move is brilliant, really brilliant.
Moreover, as long as Tabriz is captured, they will have enough resources to support their army.
They can even use burning, killing, looting, and looting tactics to weaken these places , and then retreated, leaving large areas of scorched earth.
As a result, our supply lines had to be extended when entering these areas.
We won't be able to get enough supplies locally, so the empire will be under heavy pressure.
The financial situation of the empire is currently not very good.
Therefore, if this war costs too much, I am afraid that many people will turn against this war.
We may even be brought down by it. " This is the result of the discussion between the dark elves.
Very vicious and insidious, in line with the evil psychology of these guys.
They even started to feel scared because of this incident.
At the same time, a heated discussion began about whether to support Tabriz.
Because if the Hereford family's conqueror expedition really used this tactic, it would be difficult for them to win.
Over whether to aid Tabriz, the dark elves were debating.
Those who supported sending troops and those who supported not sending troops had different opinions.
What everyone said seemed to make sense.
The result is that no one can convince the other.
That's it.
They completely, completely, completely did not expect that the Hereford family's army would take the initiative to attack them.
Therefore, when William's army quickly and accurately wiped out their lazy reconnaissance cavalry, sentries and mobile posts, they were still at a loss and did not know.
Even when the Hereford family's cavalry army entered their camp, with the musketeers as the forerunners and the cavalry armed with revolvers, they rushed out and beat the soldiers in the front row who had no time to react into sieves.
Debate over whether to send troops to support Tabriz.
Of course, William would not give them any chance to rectify and rearrange their array.
Although it is better not to use artillery.
But William still had to use the arson bomb made of picric acid explosives.
The weather at that time was also very favorable, with a strong east wind.
William set fire directly upwind, and then the cavalry covered it.
The other party had almost no feeling or reaction, and was immediately killed and collapsed.
At noon that day, William von Hereford and his army appeared in an extremely arrogant manner, and then killed them completely unreasonably.
Then, when the opponent didn't respond, didn't prepare their formation, or even had time to pick up a weapon, the killing started.
In the first round of attacks, the musketeers opened the way, and several camps outside the opponent's periphery were directly attacked.
Large numbers of army legionnaires wailed and collapsed, or simply surrendered.
Then, William's army encountered a little obstacle, which came from the infantry regiments that had undergone military reforms.

They reformed the infantry of the Army Corps and formed a fusiliary infantry regiment.
They gathered together and then began to resist, while at the same time preparing for the more powerful infantry regiment.
The main force buys time.
In this case, William gave the order without hesitation.
An entire regiment of Lancers was pulled out and then launched a wave-like charge.
"Keep shooting and don't be afraid.
It's no big deal for these guys.
Raise the bayonet.
Raise the bayonet."
Although I say that, it is still very distressing to face the charge of the Lancers when morale is low.
Yes, the hollow bayonet phalanx has a great restraining effect on cavalry.
If the two sides confront each other head-on, it's not clear who will win.
However, the problem is that war is not a simple calculation of addition and subtraction, and it is not whoever has more people can win.
Furthermore, even taking into account weapons and equipment, quality, morale, tactics, etc., it is not the case that whoever has the advantage will win.
Although the weapons, equipment, and training methods of these improved army legionnaires are infinitely close to those of the Hereford family army, the problem is still very bad.
The bad problem is their morale.
They were frightened.
When the cavalry roared towards them with lances in hand, these soldiers had already started to run away wailing.
Yes, if the cavalry collides with the hollow phalanx, both sides will be killed or injured.
But this is exchanging one's life for one's life.
What is competing is the will, morale and spirit of both sides.
In such a competition, these Ottoman Empire armies completely failed.
After losing dozens of cavalry, the lancers rushed away from the opponent's array.
Then, a killing began. 160420oshow7:
