Chapter 49: Entering the Taoist Temple
Consciousness returned to his body, Chen Yuan shook his somewhat heavy head, and Chen Yuan also saw the handwriting on the Lingxi chessboard. "What's the situation? I'm considered to have passed?" Chen Yuan still couldn't react.
The old man on the side looked at Chen Yuan like a monster, and was speechless for a long time. The old man wailed in his heart: This kid is here to smash the field! How many years has the Daoist Academy exam been held, and the difficulty is so great that countless people are discouraged, but this kid in front of him has passed all the six exams of the academy that ordinary people regard as devils as if he was eating and drinking.
Such a situation has never happened since the Daoist Academy opened the Daoist Academy, such a demonic talent, normally speaking, entering the Daoist Academy will definitely get the resources of the Daoist Academy and focus on training. But this kid is a spirit devouring body and can't cultivate, so in this way, in an environment like the Taoist Academy that encourages competition, whether he can really stand firm is still two words. Although this kid has a talent in military affairs, he is not said to be unprecedented. But Jiutian has always believed in the law of the supremacy of strength, even if a genius boy does not have enough strength to protect himself, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch in this world. The old man looked at Chen Yuan, revealing such complicated emotions for the first time.
"Unexpectedly, I still underestimated your kid's ability, in less than two and a half days, you used a record of zero casualties to perfectly win this double test and test. Even the conglomerate of the military palace teacher's combat consciousness and wisdom was defeated by you without any suspense, and it can even be said that he was turned around, you kid is really not the reincarnation of a monster?" said the old man with an amazed face.
Chen Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Senior, you have won the award, so I have already passed the assessment? Have the qualifications to enter the Daoist Academy?" "Of course, all the five assessments are monsters with full scores, and our Daoist Academy must not hurry up and accept it, waiting for others to grab it! You must know that you are now a fragrant bait, the City Lord's Mansion wants to win you over, and there are some private academies that will definitely rush to accept you if they know that you have such a military talent." However, before giving you the admission certificate, you have to answer me a few questions, but I have seen a lot of things in my eyes this time, and I need you to explain to me. The old man said with a smile.
Hearing the old man's affirmative reply, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed to the old man's request. "The first question is, why don't you choose the red side city with a dangerous background, but choose the blue side with a single terrain?" the old man asked.
"First of all, we have to make it clear that the rules of the assessment are to capture the local city within three days, not to defend our city, so the dangerous terrain cannot be our advantage. Second, to put it bluntly, fighting a war is about fighting resources and money, and what is the most significant resource in the territory of the red and blue sides? That is the vast forest in the territory of the blue side. In the end, you can also see that I used the resources I collected to replace my army with new weapons, otherwise what do you think I want from those 1,200 engineers is to collect resources, and these resources have eventually become my magic weapon for victory. Chen Yuan's analysis was reasonable, and the old man who listened kept nodding.
"I can see both the first time you used a trick to bluff away the Red Army, and the second time you used a trick to smuggle resources, but how do you know that the Red side will definitely send all the Sky Knights to attack you?" the old man couldn't wait to ask the second question.
"It's not that I know they're going to send all the Sky Knights to attack, it's that in my operations and calculations, they must and can only send all the Sky Knights to attack us. When Chen Yuan said this, he showed the momentum of looking at the world. "I want to ask you, if the earth knights are unable to play a role due to the terrain restrictions, and the infantry is difficult to attack, how will you choose to use troops and dispatch?" Chen Yuan asked the old man.
"If you can't beat it, then you have to stick to it. The old man thought for a moment and replied. "So, if at this time, you have a Sky Knight in your hand that is only half of the opponent's total strength, what will you choose?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"Then I will choose to send the Sky Knight to suppress and harass the enemy first, and then send the infantry up the mountain to attack······" The old man replied subconsciously, but halfway through his answer, he already understood why Chen Yuan was so sure that he was targeting the Sky Knight on the red side.
When the ground forces are blocked, it is the best choice to send this kind of air cavalry to suppress the enemy, and because it is not sure of the division of the enemy class, the red side can only send all the air cavalry forces to improve the self-protection ability of this ace class with numbers. In this way, the red side completely fell into the trap carefully designed by Chen Yuan, and was directly killed by the attack combination of the new weapon that Chen Yuan possessed. This is not a coincidence, nor is it a fluke, it is the result of Chen Yuan's step-by-step guidance of the battle situation. Thinking of this, the old man glanced at Chen Yuan in shock, this child's meticulous layout and delicate timing had already made him, a Taoist teacher, feel a trace of fear. On the battlefield, such an enemy is the most terrifying!
"Last question, in your opinion, where did Red lose?" the old man asked the last question in his mind. Chen Yuan didn't think about it and said directly: "Lost in arrogance!" "What's the explanation?" The old man now behaved like a student seeking advice.
"Quite simply, this is a common problem for many generals to lead their troops, because the enemy has fewer troops than their own and does not occupy the favorable terrain, and the contempt mentality can easily breed. For example, when you were an aristocrat for generations and received a martial arts education from an early age, what would your mindset be when you faced a country boy who had not been systematically trained in the dueling ring? Of course, you will tell yourself not to despise any opponent, but subconsciously, you will no longer compare him to yourself.
In the same way, when the red side has the advantage of forces, I think about how to defeat the blue side led by me in a dignified or crushing way. On the battlefield, using all available resources and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal is the most important thing for the two armies to do when facing each other.
Just like when I used the pretext of building a bridge to invade the territory of the red side on a large scale and occupy a favorable position, all the red side thought of was to lead the troops to besiege it, and even wanted to push it all the way through the advantage of troops. This is the disadvantage of absolute superiority, blind arrogance, the huge gap in strength makes the difference in strength between the red and blue sides a huge difference, and the red side, which has great strength, is blinded by the power and gives up the most fundamental way of using troops.
If I am the red side, in the face of a large-scale invasion of the enemy, I only need to send a team of air horsemen to roughly check the number of invading enemy troops, and when I know that the enemy's rear line is empty, I will directly send the most mobile Sky Knight to forcibly attack the enemy city. In this way, there is a high possibility of winning the battle directly, and even if it is not able to attack, the enemy troops in the red territory will definitely return to defense immediately after receiving the news that the lair has been attacked.
At this time, as long as the defense under the mountain is slightly flawed, the blue side will definitely take the bait, and when the time comes, it will directly crush the main force of the blue side by virtue of the superiority of troops, and slowly let the large army cross the river to attack the city, so that the red side will win this battle 100 percent! In the war, what a qualified general should do is to exchange victory for the minimum price, rather than annihilate the enemy with absolute strength!
"Soldier, treacherous way, exchange the smallest price for victory?" The old man was shocked by Chen Yuan's remarks, these seemingly simple words, contained as if the true meaning of marching and fighting, he could feel the power and meaning contained in these words, the old man's eyes looked at Chen Yuan completely changed from appreciation to admiration.
"Senior?" Chen Yuan looked at the old man who had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help but bow down and call. "You are now a student of my Taoist Academy, the old man Dong Yu is a teacher of the Dangong of the Taoist Academy, so you can call me Teacher Dong. This is your enrollment certificate, and a week later, you come here to me, and I will personally take you to the Taoist Academy to apply for admission. The old man handed Chen Yuan a golden token, wrote a word on it, and then said to Chen Yuan. The old man vaguely saw a picture of a new military star rising and shining on the battlefield.
