"Revisit."
"Yes." The scout stepped back.
Chu Tianqing walked to the sand table to take a closer look, the two armies represented by the red and blue flags on the sand table were facing each other, and his subordinate Ding saw Chu Tianqing coming, and stepped forward to pull up five small red flags and insert them not far in front of the small blue flags, two of which had small horse symbols on their faces.
"This is the grassland terrain, the enemy has 20,000 cavalry, just to give full play to the maximum combat power, if not well designed, I am afraid that our army is in danger." His subordinates were worried.
The current form on the sand table is exactly the latest situation reported by the scouts.
"Go out and have a look." Chu Tianqing opened the curtain and walked out, followed by a group of subordinate generals.
Chu Tianqing's Blue Army was stationed in a makeshift barracks and belonged to the defenders. Chu Tianqing inspected the station, and the soldiers' food and grass equipment were indeed as his generals said, they were all complete.
Stepping on the watchtower, Chu Tianqing looked at the enemy army from afar, because the surrounding area belonged to the grassland environment, Chu Tianqing stood on a high place, and he could see the enemy army ten miles away.
Since this game evolved from a game of Go, it must not make the distribution of forces between the two sides very unfair. Since the enemy has an advantage over our army in terms of strength, it will presumably be at a disadvantage in other aspects.
"Newspaperβ"
The scouts sent out to re-investigate returned, "There were soldiers in the enemy camp who made a noise, and the reason was not found, but it was quickly suppressed. β
The noise of the enemy soldiers may be due to lax military discipline, which indicates that the enemy's combat effectiveness is not high, and it is probably difficult for the enemy to carry out orders. If this is the case, the enemy commander will not attack in a short time, but will rectify military discipline as soon as possible.
Of course, it is also possible that the logistics cannot keep up, and the most likely situation that triggers a mutiny among the soldiers is naturally insufficient food storage. If this is the case, the enemy will attack in the shortest possible time, taking supplies from our army to replenish themselves.
"Probe again, pay attention to whether the amount of cooking smoke during the enemy's meal is normal." Chu Tianqing sent spies again.
"Yes." The scout was ordered to retreat.
"Prepare the fortifications."
"Yes." Subordinate C was ordered to retreat.
Information must not be interrupted while the troops are not moving, so scouts need to monitor the situation of the enemy at all times. Sooner or later, the enemy will surely attack our troops, so the fortifications must be done well, and the sooner the better.
After dinner, the spies reported that the amount of cooking smoke rising from the enemy was indeed abnormal.
Several of Chu Tianqing's stinky generals gathered together to discuss, and finally came to the conclusion that the enemy's remaining food must not be enough to hold out for three days.
In other words, the battle will start in three days.
To sum up, the four of A, B, C and D did not need Chu Tianqing's orders, and immediately began to prepare for battle.
Chu Tianqing mainly learned the mecha in the military academy, although he also took a few classes in the strategic command class, but it was an elective, so his understanding of the matters that need to be paid attention to in the war was only on the surface, not in depth, and Chu Tianqing did not interfere with the decisions made by A, B, C, D.
Most of the people participating in the competition are NPCs, and it is even more unlikely that a few of them have learned how to command operations, so once they have an understanding of the current situation, the decision made by the subordinates "gifted" by the system will at least not be outrageously wrong.
Chu Tianqing decided to listen to the professional NPC.
The decisive point of this game is obviously in these three days, Chu Tianqing learned about the weakness of the enemy army, made fortifications in advance, and easily survived the three days, and the enemy army without food completely collapsed and was defeated without a fight.

The Go competition became a confrontation between the two armies, and Chu Tianqing successfully advanced to the semifinals after figuring out the intention of the competition.
In the finals, the top four will first play against each other, then the winner and winner will play against each other to determine the first place, the loser and the loser will play against each other to determine the fourth place, and finally the remaining two will play against each other to determine the second and third places.
The first battle was still won smoothly, and Chu Tianqing was full of confidence and waited for the last battle.
Chu Tianqing was still in his own camp when he woke up, but it was obvious that the two armies had been facing each other for a long time.
Because at this time, a general asked for instructions: "General, our army is short of food and grass, and it can only support for three days, but the reinforcements will not arrive until five days." I am afraid that if the enemy continues to besiege it like this, the 100,000 soldiers in the army will starve to death in the city. β
Very good, the explanation is very clear, at least Chu Tianqing grasped the key point at once.
Within three days, the two armies must decide the winner, otherwise the defeat of the enemy in the first game of the tournament will be the consequence for her.
Mother Chu is still waiting for her outside, this first place, she has to fight.
The first step is to spy on the news.
SystemSince the previous battles have maintained the balance of power between the two sides to some extent, the enemy must also face some problems, and this problem is no less serious than the ones she faces.
Victory is possible only if the enemy's weaknesses are identified.
After a while, the spies came to report: "The enemy's 300,000-strong army is besieging the city, but the enemy country lacks weapons and does not have enough siege equipment, so it is impossible to organize an effective attack in a short time. β
Chu Tianqing defended the city again this time, and the effect was convenient, and it was difficult for the enemy to attack without siege equipment, so he had to temporarily besiege it.
But Chu Tianqing can't turn into food, even if the enemy army doesn't move a single soldier at all, as long as they are firmly surrounded, it only takes three days to win without a fight, which is not a weakness at all, so this is definitely not the real problem of the enemy army.
The news in the final will never be so easy to find out, Chu Tianqing did not show any discouragement, and ordered the scout to probe again in a calm tone.
"What is the problem besides the lack of food?"
"The news leaked, and the soldiers all knew that the food was only enough to eat for three days, so the morale of the army was fluctuating, and if it was not resolved as soon as possible, I was afraid that it would cause a mutiny."
"News leaked? Can you find out who leaked the news? β
"This ...... Didn't find out...... And at this time, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and it is really not a good time to investigate this matter. β
Very good, in addition to the lack of food, there may be traitors and spies in the army, but there is no way to investigate.
It's a replica of the enemy's situation in the first battle...... No, it's a power-enhanced version......
However, the more serious the situation of our army, the greater the trouble of the enemy's army, and now it is a fight to guess the weakness of the opponent first, and who is the real winner.
The spies sent out several waves in a row, but they did not report any useful news.
Chu Tianqing guessed that in the last game, maybe the scouts on both sides could not detect effective news, and at this time she could only make a guess based on the only bit of information on the surface.
Or inspect the station first.
The morale of the soldiers was obviously lacking, and although the weapons and equipment were okay - at least better than the enemy army, there was really not much left of the grain and grass storehouse.
The most important thing is that there is still a spy in the army who leaks military secrets, Chu Tianqing wants to fool the soldiers to temporarily gather morale, but he also has to worry that he will be punctured by the spy as soon as he finishes the trick, which will make the soldiers' morale even worse.
Chu Tianqing went up to the city wall under the maintenance of the soldiers to observe the enemy troops besieging them, and did not see anything wrong with the morale of the other party's food and grass.
If it weren't for the problems of logistics and military discipline, then the other party's trouble might lie in the high-ranking generals?
