本来权力游戏的文章应该要发去EAseries板的,但是前几天看到一篇有De Re Militari
组织的成员受访的文章,来分享一下。
The 'Battle of the Bastards' Proved One Bastard Wasn't as Clever as He Thought

文中有提到受访的是马里兰罗耀拉大学的学者Kelly DeVries,他专门研究中世纪战史
(ex.百年战争),而且常参与媒体的历史性节目,他在这篇文章中提到的几个要点:
一,波顿军不应该出城
“Ramsay Bolton would have been better to stay behind the walls of his
fortification,”
“There would never have been a concerted siege effort like we saw with the
siege of the Blackfish and so forth.”
Ramsay Bolton待在城内会是个比较好的选择,对方不可能有办法执行类似黑鱼之围的有
效的围城。
二,波顿军竟然射自己人
"We absolutely have no single example of someone shooting into their own
troops" in that time period, DeVries says. "It just would not have happened.
Everyone valued the life of a soldier too much ... [This tactic] is far more
evil than anybody we could encounter in the Middle Ages."
DeVries表示中世纪战史从来没有一个案例是下令射击己方的部队,因为所有人都非常宝
贝士兵的性命,这种战术比任何已知的行动都更邪恶。
三,波顿军竟然没有侦查到河湾军
"Most commanders would have posted scouts and had some awareness, some
intelligence that a large force are advancing on them," said DeVries. "That
doesn't happen as often, the absolute surprise of large forces doesn't
happen."
大多数指挥官都会部署斥候并保持一点警戒心,以利得知有大部队正在朝自己前进。大部
队完全突然的出现并不太会出现。
"Ramsay was terrible at it," he continued. "We don't have a lot of
indications of his military capabilities before ... whereas Jon Snow led
troops many times before in battle."
"Ramsay, once on the battlefield, he's like many generals throughout time,
who are so cocky about their abilities and their forces' abilities and their
numbers that they cause some terrible defeats on the battlefield," DeVries
added, comparing the Bolton force's destruction to the French defeat at
Agincourt in 1415 and the Turkish victory over European crusaders at
Nicopolis in 1396. "They play into the opposing generals' game and pull
defeat out of the jaws of victory."
DeVries把Ramsay Bolton比喻成1415年在阿金谷的法军或1396年在尼柯波利斯的十字军,
坐拥优势却自毁前程。
Kelly DeVries其实还蛮喜欢写冰与火之歌的东西的,另一篇:
