Section 99 The Battle of the Peak
Starting today, two sessions a day until you make up what you owe!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After more than a month of hellish military chess deduction, Poor Dao is finally about to get out of the sea of suffering, two battles a day for more than a month can exhaust me, tomorrow is the last one, known as the battle of the peak, because, Poor Dao's opponent is Nicholas!
This more than a month of deduction is not a very difficult challenge for Poor Dao, the longest is over in two hours, for these people, it is an eye-opener! Originally, Poor Dao didn't want to be in the limelight, but Grandpa strictly ordered not to release water, this old man's vision is also very poisonous, I will not do it if I slack off a little, and I will nag me vigorously, forcing me to do everything I can, and beat up his so-called proud protégés! Whether it is a highly talented student studying at a military academy or a general who has been in the army for many years, they are all convinced. For a while, he was known as the god of war!
In fact, the poor road is just the tactical ideas in the "Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies", "Three Taos", "Six Strategies" and other military books, if people who are familiar with them may be able to compete with the poor road, but for people who don't know at all, it is difficult to defeat the poor road on the battlefield after studying the military books for hundreds of years, at least in the military chess deduction.
This big competition was so big that it even spread all over the mainland. At the beginning, it was the top students in some of the colleges who lost, and it wasn't good. But my grandfather was a master who had nothing to do, and he called all the teachers to scold him, and finally gave a death order, and if he couldn't win me, he would be fined half a year's salary! Most of the teachers were the best in the army, and most of them were rich nobles, so they naturally didn't care about this salary, but they couldn't afford to lose this person? So they came to power one after another, and went down in disgrace! So they began to fight for face, pulling all their relations, and even ringing the wooden bell to the king, asking for the transfer of the staff officers of the field regiments stationed on the border. That's it, and it didn't make the poor Dao sweat even a little.
So, after the generals and generals in the military circles of the Great Han Kingdom became impotent collectively, Nicholas, the newly joined famous general, became their last fig leaf. Originally, they didn't want to use outsiders, and the person they thought of was grandpa, but the old guy was not so easy to be fooled, and he pushed down the proposal as a referee!
Grandpa looked coldly at the few proud protégés in front of him at that time, and said, "I didn't expect that the face of our Han soldiers needs to be redeemed by a newcomer who has just taken refuge, should I be happy or sad?"
The soldiers below took off for a moment, and their faces were red. One of them said aggrievedly: "Headmaster, your grandson is really powerful, and he doesn't want to give face, so if he wins, he won, right?
"Yes! Now that we have called all the important officers in the Han Kingdom, those who are not convinced have lost their faces, and the rest have lost the courage to challenge. That's why we were forced to use Nicholas, hoping that he would save some face for us professional soldiers!" said another.
"Well, I agree to tomorrow's challenge. However, Nicholas lost, and the shame is you arrogant officers, and you will all be punished!" said Grandpa.
"Yes!" said the underneath.
"If Nicholas wins, it will be a shame for the entire Han Kingdom, and you will be punished even more! Is there any doubt?" Grandpa asked sternly!
"No!" everyone said happily without caring about the salary.
And so my Nicholas showdown was decided.
The command hall of the military academy was crowded with people today, and the king also came, and in this 300-year-old building, out of the majority of the generals of the Han Kingdom. Today, the battle between Poor Road and Nicholas will be played here.
There is a huge sand table in the hall, which is the venue for this duel. Nicholas and I each gave orders in a small room, of course we also have a sand table, but only our own troops are deployed, the enemy's is very vague, can only be reconnoitred, maybe it is fake!
This time the map is a prairie, there is a river, the river is not deep, only one meter, ten meters wide, and there is a forest ten miles from the river. Our barracks were, naturally, all on the riverside, 200 miles apart. Poor Dao knows that this map is tired of it, what kind of bullshit is fair? This is obviously biased towards Nicholas. He made a name for himself with the lightning raids of the cavalry, and his legion was called Blue Lightning. Isn't it just that we are arranged in a prairie to show his strengths and give full play to the might of his cavalry? If he chooses a map, he must be in the mountains, and what will he do if he sees his cavalry?
Our strength is the same 20W, but 1 cavalry counts as 2 places, which means that you can choose 20W infantry or 10W cavalry. And heavy cavalry could only make up a quarter of the total number of cavalry. Nicholas really chose 8W cavalry, and 4W infantry. Poor Dao is not sure that he will have a cavalry corps duel with him in an open place, that is an idiotic act in my eyes, you kill me, I kill you, what's the point? There is no technical content at all! So Poor Dao chose the opposite of him, I only need 40,000 cavalry, 12W infantry. Everybody has 1 month of food!
Hehe, the poor road here uses the rules to take advantage, I have a month's food for 16W people, but Nicholas only has a month's food for 12W people. Haha, I have a lot more food than him! According to the regulations, the one who destroys the opponent in the end wins, and there is no time limit, but with the restriction of grain and grass, it is impossible to play endlessly!
It's a pity that the poor road stinks! I didn't catch the camp upstream when I caught the lot, otherwise, I would have been in the forest, find him some laxatives and go into the water, hehe! If I don't fight, I'll win!
Without further ado, go to war!
Poor Road made a big move at the beginning, sending 1W cavalry and 2W infantry to the woods to cut down trees and pull them back to build fortifications. The remaining 30,000 cavalry went to Nicholas to reconnoitre, the enemy ate when there were few people, and ran away if there were many, in short, to find out Nicholas's movements, he took so many cavalry, it was definitely not for defense, and it was estimated that he would attack me directly, after all, the camp he was given only had a simple wooden fence, and it was impossible to resist the cavalry impact. Again, I despise any bastard who designed maps, and give such a camp, isn't it clear that I want Nicholas to look good on me? Finally, I sent all the infantry out to dig holes! Dig big, deep pits. Hehe, Poor Dao never used this thing in previous duels, and now he takes it out to give Nicholas a good look.
We are a hundred miles apart, and according to Nicholas's speed, his army will arrive on the third day, but his spies will appear on the second day, and my 30,000 cavalry will deal with them, and Nicholas will not dare to rush with all his strength. Buy me time to build a defense.
It's a pity that I still underestimated Nicholas, this guy really deserves to be a master of cavalry tactics, and the next day, in a contact, I saw that something was wrong and ran away, so I told him to understand my intentions. On the third day, I was surprised to find that Nicholas was not letting me go, but was in hot pursuit. Normally, when everyone is tired of running, they must rest, and no one wants to see the horses run to death, in that case I will be happy, I will run and die 30,000 horses, and he will chase me more than me, how many horses will have to run and die? But now it is different, Nicholas asked 40,000 men to chase each person with two horses, because he can change horses halfway, I will definitely not be able to outrun him, if he is told to entangle these 30,000 people, and wait for his follow-up troops to come up, I will be finished.
But after running for a while, he did not dare to run again, and he was still nearly 50 miles away from the camp, and he could not reach it until the horse was tired and died! When the horse was tired and died, should I fight with the infantry and his cavalry? In desperation, I had no choice but to confront his 40,000 cavalry. As soon as the two armies hedged, Nicholas showed his genius command art, either flanking or detouring, that is, he could always find a way to kill the attack of the troops on my weak flanks, causing me huge losses, and in less than half an hour, I was judged to lose 5,000, while Nicholas was only 1,000.
Fortunately, Poor Dao understood the truth that it could not be dispersed, and the troops were still gathered together, not divided, but already surrounded. It's not good!
Damn! I can't fight against Nicholas like this, I'm not an opponent at all? Now it seems that these 30,000 people are dead, and my best choice is to take advantage of the last opportunity to try to inflict more losses on Nicholas, and the casualty ratio of 1:5 like just now is not acceptable to me! Nicholas also understands this, so he does not touch me hard now, but just surrounds me, constantly harasses, and waits for backup. And there was no assault!
Poor Dao's heart was crossed, and he gave an order, which startled the officer and referee who gave the order for me, and he said angrily: "Are you sure you want to give such an order?"
"Yes!" snorted Poor Dao!
"Shameless!"
Poor Dao didn't bother to pay attention to the boring idiot, what is shameless, 'Soldier, treacherous!' He knows what a fart!
