Chapter 20: War Deduction

Shangguan Ziyang didn't know that his actions had left a deep impact on Patrick and Ike, so much so that both of them had feelings of "reverence" for themselves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ike, how are you?" Shangguan Ziyang asked eagerly, looking at Ike's flesh and blood thighs, where he could almost see Sensen's white bones. At the same time, he took out the wound medicine and gauze from the bracelet and prepared to bandage him, but Ike stopped him.

"I don't have the ability to move forward next, if we go together, it will only be a burden to you, you keep going, leave me alone. Ike looked very weak, and it seemed that Nan Nan said: "This is just the 'Beast God Illusion', as long as I go out, my injuries will no longer exist, so you can go, leave me alone." ”

"Lord Shangguan, he's right, let's move on......" Before Patrick could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shangguan Ziyang, "What nonsense! Shut up! How can I watch my companion get hurt in front of me and I am indifferent?! You have your three views, and I! I also have my will! There have been so many people who have died one by one in front of me for me, and I can't do anything about it! Do you know what kind of torture this is?! They all just want to live for me! For me to have such an insignificant life! They just fend off the enemy one after another, and even if they have no choice in the end, they would rather all die than lead the enemy away, and they are all dead! they are all dead! they are all my companions! they are all dead for me! none of them survive! And I can only watch them die, and I can't do anything myself! Do you know how painful it is? Now Patrick told me to abandon our companions and move forward on my own, I don't know what you orcs went through to make such a choice! But I, Shangguan Ziyang, will never give up on any of my companions! Even if this is the so-called 'Beast God Fantasy Realm'! Even if you say that the injury will disappear, but there is no infinite possibility to live! If you die, there will be nothing! And you! Ike! Don't give up hope! Live, pass all the tests, and we will pass the 'Beast God Illusion' together! So let's move forward together! Don't just give up halfway! Let's go together!"

Shangguan Ziyang said these words excitedly while bandaging Ike with gauze, I don't know why when he thought of so many retainers dying in order to cover himself, Shangguan Ziyang felt that his nose was sour, and it seemed that his vision was a little blurred, but fortunately, his hair was relatively long, blocking his embarrassment. The little white tiger in the backpack seemed to feel Shangguan Ziyang's emotions, stretched out his head and licked Shangguan Ziyang's cheek.

"Cut, human beings are so weak. Although Patrick said this, when Shangguan Ziyang finished bandaging Ike's wounds, he still carried Ike on his back, and the three of them entered the next door together.

I came to a huge room again, this room is different from other rooms, there is a large pit in the middle of this room that is about 150 meters long and wide, and about 3 meters deep, and inside the big pit is a series of complex formations that almost make people feel dizzy, and in the four directions of the big pit, there are a large number of stone platforms.

When Patrick, who was carrying Ike on his back, entered the door, the stone door behind him closed with a "bang". And the formation inside the pit also seemed to have received some conditions and opened, and a three-dimensional projection "panel" rose from the pit, and there were a large number of text descriptions on this "panel", Shangguan Ziyang carefully read the words on it, and there was a strange feeling in his heart. Because of the above explanation, Shangguan Ziyang learned that this thing is actually very similar to the "real-time strategy" game of the Earth period? This world actually has this thing? This pioneer really dares to think about it! This has been moved to this world, even if there are no other achievements, this initiative alone is enough to be deified by the world and become a "god" like Lao Tzu and Shakyamuni. This pioneer is called "God", and he is really not wronged!

"Lord Shangguan, how are you doing now?" suddenly heard Amiri's voice over the communicator.

"We have broken through the second test and are facing a third test...... However, Ike was badly injured. How are you doing?" Shangguan Ziyang asked.

"We also broke through the second test, and judging from the signs of the third test, if we all break through the third level, we will have a round, but it seems that there will be a more difficult test after the round. ”

"Understand, stay connected. After saying this, Shangguan Ziyang cut off contact.

"What is the test of this level?" Patrick asked Shangguan Ziyang.

"You'd be glad you didn't leave Ike. Shangguan Ziyang said, "This is a test of simulated war command, we currently have 3 people, we can control up to 30,000 troops, and defeat the enemy for victory." ”

"What are we going to do?" said Ike weakly, "Can I help now?"

"It's okay! This time it's not a direct battle," Shangguan Ziyang pointed to his head, "It's wisdom!"

"Wisdom?!" Patrick shook his head, "I don't have any wisdom, it's up to you when the time comes, and I'll do whatever you say." ”

"Yes, please do your best!" said Ike.

"The first is the selection of troops. There are a total of five factions to choose from - the human race is divided into three factions by religious beliefs, namely the Great Qin Empire, the Holy Cult Army, and the Guran Army, and the other two camps are the Beast Race and the Elven Race. The strength of the Great Qin Empire was that ground troops and ranged troops could crush everything, and the disadvantage was that there were no air troops and no mage troops. The advantage of the Holy Cult is that the heavy units are invincible, and the high-level elite units are strong in combat, and the disadvantage is that there are no ranged units and the mobility is very low. The advantage of the Guran army was guerrilla warfare, the troops were very mobile and highly concealed, and the disadvantage was that the defense was low and could not engage from the front. The advantage of the Orcs is that they have strong individual combat power, strong attack power, and most of the troops have high defense and high mobility; the disadvantage is that they have low ability to sustain combat? What does it mean? The advantage of the Elven Clan's troops is that they have powerful mage troops, air troops, and powerful elite archers on the ground; and the disadvantage is that they do not have heavy troops. Shangguan Ziyang explained the contents of the "panel" to the two orcs, but the orcs' "low ability to sustain combat" still didn't understand what it meant.

After comprehensive thinking, Shangguan Ziyang finally chose the army of the Great Qin Empire, the heavy troops of the Holy Sect Army were strong but their mobility was too low, and they could be harassed by the guerrillas until they collapsed. The Gulan army is highly mobile, but the troops can't fight on the battlefield head-on, and the elven air force and the magic archers on the ground are strong but there is no use without the cover of the heavy troops, the combat effectiveness of the beast clan is the strongest among all the troops, but the "low ability to continue to fight" really makes Shangguan Ziyang dare not choose the beast clan, worried that it is a pit. In the end, the relatively balanced army of the Great Qin Empire was chosen.

So in the specific army list, Shangguan Ziyang chose 1,000 light cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 heavy sword and shield men, 2,000 pikemen, 1,000 crossbow artillery, 1,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 giant artillery, and finally 1,000 siege soldiers. It's exactly 10,000 people, and the food is only 30 days' food, which means that in this simulated war, victory must be achieved before the food runs out, otherwise it will be judged defeat.

After looking at the troops chosen by the other two orcs, Shangguan Ziyang really wanted to say "I'm Cao"! Patrick actually chose a full 10,000 minotaurs, while Ike chose a full 10,000 wolf knights! Isn't Nima's choice a death? If he encounters a restrained force, he will not be able to fight back at all! He doesn't know how Nima died! Just as Shangguan Ziyang was about to admonish, these two guys had already put their hands on the stone platform in front of them, so the stone platform immediately lit up, indicating that it was ready. Shangguan Ziyang was very helpless, it seemed that they were very confident in their own race!

As a last resort, Shangguan Ziyang also put his hands on the two grooves on the top of a stone platform in front of him, indicating that he was ready. So Shangguan Ziyang saw that there were three stone platforms on the other three sides around this square "pit", which was probably the "opponent" simulated by the "artificial intelligence program" of this world. All the people were ready, so the dizzying "formation" in the "big pit" began to light up, and after about 10 seconds, a geographical model that seemed to be a sand sculpture appeared at the bottom of the big pit, but this "geographical model" was too delicate, including the small almost ant-like troops on this "geographical model".

Shangguan Ziyang's Qin army was like a neat black "sea of ants" on the map, the 10,000 minotaurs on the left flank were like a sea of gray-green reptiles, and the 10,000 wolf knights on the right flank Ike were a gray-green look. This map seemed to be a plain area, but Shangguan Ziyang didn't dare to make a conclusion, because except for the area where the three people's troops were located, the rest of the area was dark, and Shangguan Ziyang knew that this was called "war fog" - that is, "unexplored area".

Shitai transmitted the information in the field directly to Shangguan Ziyang's brain through the hand placed in the groove, allowing her to contact all the troops in the field and issue orders to them.

"What's next?" asked Patrick.

"We don't know much about it now, so we need to explore the surrounding area and lift the fog of war. Shangguan Ziyang said, so she sent 500 light cavalry into 50 squads to explore around, and the other troops camped on the spot, cut down nearby trees, built defenses, and sent soldiers to dig trenches before the camp, after all, this simulated war ground mobile force mainly relies on horses. Just as Shangguan Ziyang's camp was in full swing, he suddenly found that Patrick and Ike had gone away with a large army.

"Hey, what are you doing, where are you going!?" Shangguan Ziyang said eagerly.

"Aren't you exploring the unknown?" said Patrick, "so I took someone with me." ”

"You ......" Shangguan Ziyang was speechless, "It will be dangerous for you to do this!" Before the words were finished, Shangguan Ziyang received a message from a reconnaissance force that Patrick's front was a guerrilla force of the Guran Army, with a size of about 1,000 people, divided into 10 teams, outflanking Patrick's large force in three directions.

"There is an enemy in front of you, retreat quickly!" Shangguan Ziyang said to Patrick, asking him to retreat with his troops quickly. But the Qur'an's troops were so fast that before Patrick could react, they had already launched an attack from a distance. Suddenly, countless arrows rained down from the sky into the army of Minotaurs, causing a large number of casualties for a while.

"Damn! What kind of hero is a sneak attack!If you have the ability to come to us head-on!" Patrick completely ignored Shangguan Ziyang's warning, and commanded the Minotaur army to begin to pursue the guerrilla forces of the Guran army. However, the guerrillas of the Quran army did not fight Patrick head-on at all, riding on a good horse of unknown breed, and firing arrows while retreating, while the Minotaur troops were only infantry, and no matter how hard they pursued, they were only teased by the Gur'an army. Because the Minotaur is supposed to be considered a hoplite, the mobility is extremely low.

"Retreat! Retreat! Patrick!!" Shangguan Ziyang is still telling Patrick to retreat here, and Ike on the other side is also in a situation.

"Lord Shangguan! I met the heavy troops of the Holy Cult Army here!" Ike's wolf knight and the heavy knight of the Holy Cult Army met head-on, the wolf knight should be a light cavalry in the class, and a head-on encounter with the heavy cavalry was a dead end, but Ike was completely unintimidated and pressed the whole line "Look at me and wipe them all out!"

"Retreat!Retreat all!Don't go head-to-head with them!!We'll think long-term together!!" Shangguan Ziyang sent the light cavalry in his hand to support Patrick, and at the same time transferred the heavy cavalry to support Ike, "How can you let us pass this level like this!!Let our previous efforts be in vain?!"

In order to pursue the guerrilla forces of the Guran army, the Minotaur troops were really weak, and between the chase and the escape, the Minotaur troops lost almost a third of their troops, but they still did not even touch the hair on the opposite side. Seeing the heavy losses, Patrick quickly ordered a retreat, but the Gurans who had fled earlier saw that the Minotaur army had retreated, and immediately turned around and fired back, causing another death or wound to the Minotaur army.

"I bought a watch last year!" Patrick turned around again in pursuit, but when the Quran saw this, they immediately turned around and ran, releasing arrows as they ran, causing a large number of casualties again.

Just when Patrick didn't know how to advance or retreat, Shangguan Ziyang's light cavalry finally came to support. Although the horses of the Qin army were not as fast as the horses of the Gulan army, the range of the cavalry crossbows of the light cavalry of the Qin army was twice as far as that of the bows and arrows of the Gulan army! And the accuracy was much higher than that of the Gulan army, so under the attack of the Qin army's crossbow arrows, the Gulan army, which had almost no defense, suffered heavy losses, and immediately fled.

"Retreat!" The Minotaur army, which had relieved the siege, finally gave up the battle and retreated to the Qin army's camp.

On the other side, Ike's wolf knight had a huge advantage in numbers when fighting with the heavy knights of the Holy Cult Army, but the longer the battle, the more Ike found that the casualties of the wolf knights were far greater than the heavy knights on the other side. However, if he retreated like this at this time, Ike was also unwilling.

"Boom-" A large number of armor-piercing arrows were shot into the battlefield from a distance, and suddenly the team of heavily armored knights who formed a formation was empty. Ike hurriedly observed the battlefield and found that there was a team of black hoplites in the outer circle of the battlefield at some point, and this team was still constantly firing armor-piercing arrows at the array of heavy knights of the Holy Cult.

"Retreat! I'll cover you! Go back to camp! Let's gather together and fight again!" Shangguan Ziyang said eagerly to Ike.

Seeing this, Ike quickly withdrew the wolf knight from the battlefield and returned to Shangguan Ziyang's camp.

Shangguan Ziyang commanded the heavy cavalry to cover the wolf knights, and after retreating, a small group of heavy knights was left behind, and the other heavy knights returned to the camp with the wolf knights.

The first night of the simulated battlefield arrived. At this time, Shangguan Ziyang finally knew what the so-called "beast clan's sustained combat ability is very low" meant, originally enough for Shangguan Ziyang's Qin army to eat 30 days of food, if it was given to Patrick's minotaur, it could only eat for 10 days, and if it was given to the werewolves, it could only be eaten for 15 days! The same total amount of grain and grass was "reduced" by these two teammates! These two guys are really the legendary "teammates of the pit!!! Even if there is more food due to the battle damage on the first day of the simulated battlefield, Shangguan Ziyang will give some food to these two teammates, which will only last less than 20 days, so this means that the battle must end within 20 days.

(This is especially to increase the difficulty of the level!! it's really a big pit ratio of stepping on a horse!!)
