After a pause, Weng Bingliang finally said loudly:

"Finally, it is important to note that the fourth round of the competition is not based on the wins and losses of the two camps.

We will make a comprehensive decision on who performs better in this drill.

In the final fourth round, there will only be 16 places to enter the final big competition.

Only when you reach the last Dabi can you see Your Majesty, Qin Guogong and others.

to have a chance to show your style.

So, just keep going! ”

After the rules were explained, everyone suddenly whispered in place.

Then led by the soldiers, the two camps went to their respective main camps, on either side of the barracks.

There are even soldiers guarding the middle to avoid unnecessary exchanges between the two sides.

Liu Xin's side, Huangfu Rongjiang and others all congratulated Liu Xin.

"What's the joy of this, the burden on me is not light."

Liu Xin said helplessly, he didn't expect such a situation.

In fact, he didn't want to be the leader of this faction at all.

He didn't want to be in the limelight.

It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that even if he doesn't want to be in the limelight, in the end, Weng Bingliang will use various reasons to push him into this position.

He couldn't escape.

Huangfu Rongjiang and the others actually already knew something in their hearts.

Since Qin Guogong said in private that Liu Xin was his favorite successor.

Then Liu Xin will definitely be tested in this Zhengyang martial arts competition.

At first, they were thinking about how this test would be conducted.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin directly became the leader of a camp.

"Brother Liu, with your strength, you are fully qualified to be the leader of this camp.

Don't be too modest.

And this time it's not your personal battle, all of us have a part to do.

I won't let you do everything alone. ”

Huangfu Rongjiang opened his mouth and said, and it was only at this time that he really communicated with Liu Xin officially.

In fact, a large part of the people in Liu Xin's camp did not follow him because of Liu Xin's relationship.

The main thing is that this camp includes almost all the generals behind the gate.

Just like Huangfu Rongjiang, Zheng Xiao's parents are all famous generals.

Following a group of generals and tigers, where is the reason for invincibility.

"Let me make it clear first, I don't bring troops, I just want to have a one-on-one confrontation with the other party's generals."

Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Dugu Xuanqing suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned their attention to the latter.

Dugu Xuanqing faced everyone's gaze, his face remained unchanged, and he was still very cold and arrogant.

Liu Xin looked at Dugu Xuanqing, the most outstanding genius of this generation of Luoshen Villa.

"Brother Dugu, in fact, if you don't say this, I will also suggest to everyone that you lead a team alone.

Directly decapitated as a sharp knife. ”

Liu Xin looked at Dugu Xuanqing and said, a little surprise appeared in the latter's eyes.

"Brother Dugu's personal combat power is definitely the best in our group.

Coupled with this group of heroes in our rivers and lakes, they can completely act as a sharp blade.

In this exercise, we were half as many as the other side.

We can't win easily with troops alone.

And the requirement for us is to retain at least 20% of the combat power.

This means that the other side's strategy against us can be to deplete our forces and defeat us.

So we need a more economical way of playing.

Direct decapitation can consume a large amount of the opponent's troops.

This is also the most beneficial point for us in the rules!

We have more than enough generals!

But at the same time, Brother Dugu, although you don't need to lead a large army.

But at least part of the troops should be carried as an escort or countermeasure.

Because Lord Weng has already said that everything is rehearsed according to the real situation.

So if it's just a group of you who carry out the decapitation operation without testing it, it is very likely that you will be surrounded by a large number of troops from the other side.

At that time, even if Brother Dugu's personal combat strength is outstanding, you will still not be able to stop a large number of troops from encircling and suppressing it.

So I now have a preliminary strategic plan and I'd like to hear your suggestions. ”

Liu Xin said a lot in a row, and of course Dugu Xuanqing had no opinion.

He was born in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know much about these marches and battles.

However, Liu Xin's arrangement is satisfactory to him, since it is a decapitation operation, then he will have a lot of opportunities to fight against the opponent's generals.

There is even a chance to have a direct competition with Huang Linxian against Wang.

This is also what he is looking forward to, and it is the purpose of his coming to Zhengyang martial arts competition.

Ever since his grandfather Dugu Shidao disappeared, his faction has been besieged by other factions.

If his grandfather was still around, the other factions wouldn't even dare to have such thoughts.

But now there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king.

So he needed to find some help for his line.

Roselle Villa has always had a good relationship with the imperial court, and the people of Roselle Villa also have many generals in the army.

But Luoshen Villa is a Jianghu sect after all, and even in the imperial army, most of them are middle-level generals.

With the power of these people, they can't make the people of the other factions in Roselle Mountain Villa jealous.

Zhengyang Wubi is a very good opportunity to contact these senior generals.

It just so happened that Dugu Xuanqing also wanted to test his strength.

When everyone heard that Liu Xin had come up with a strategy, they all showed surprise.

They didn't expect Liu Xin, who was born in Jinyiwei, to have an idea so quickly.

And Huangfu Rongjiang, Shan Si, Zheng Xiao and others are not surprised.

Liu Xin is so young, but his talent is so strong, and his cultivation is not below them.

And he also has a strong ability to solve cases, plus a good ability to lead troops to fight at this time.

Actually, it's not a very strange and abrupt thing.

There are always some demons in this world.

Huangfu Rongjiang and others think that Liu Xin is this kind of demon.

"Listen up."

Huangfu Rongjiang expressed his attitude, and the others naturally had no opinion.

"The situation now is that we are completely under-armed as an attacker.

is much stronger than the other party in terms of generals.

This situation is actually consistent with the situation we have today in comparison with Liangshan Shuibo.

But why haven't we been able to take down Liangshan Shuibo all the time?

First of all, one reason is that the terrain of Liangshan Waterpark is too complicated.

There's no way to find out what's in it.

And these complex terrains in Liangshan Shuibo are equivalent to the traps in the three hole cards in the hands of the current defensive camp.

There are only two options available to the defender.

One is to stick to the danger and delay the time to half a year.

This solution is the most labor-saving and the most secure for them.

But everybody knows that. The Wenchen Group has a bet with His Majesty.

If the defender chooses this option, many may not get too high a rating.

So I'm sure they'll just choose the second option.

Consume more than eighty percent of our troops! ”

Huangfu Rongjiang was the first to agree with Liu Xin's opinion, and the rest of the people also nodded one after another.

Liu Xin's analysis is correct.

"So what is Brother Liu's strategy?"

Huangfu Rongjiang got straight to the point, and at this time, as the discussion deepened, everyone gradually entered the role.

There is one thing that is particularly good behind the gate, that is, the view of the battle situation that has been shaped since childhood.

On the battlefield, the main general is the main general, and if the identity is there, no one can question it.

And now all of Liu Xin's performances are in line with everyone's expectations, so he is gradually integrated into this state.

On the other hand, Huang Linxian was not good at military formations, so the main body of the discussion became the quarrel between Wenchen's line and some of the generals.

Wenchen's side is led by Guan De, and most of the generals here feel that the defenders are more dominant, and they also tend to be good at defense, so they came to this camp.

Unexpectedly, Huang Linxian didn't care about everyone at all, he was practicing alone in the back, but he was actually escaping.

He doesn't like to do things that he is not good at.

The cultivator has already been forced to embark on this path by the master, although his talent is said to be not bad.

But in his heart, he prefers to be the cultivator he used to be.

At this time, Guan De had already quarreled with the leader of the gate.

A few of the gatekeepers think that they have an absolute advantage in defense, and they can win by holding on for only half a year, so why not.

Guan De thinks that Weng Bingliang has already said that this round does not look at the final victory or defeat, the key is to look at personal performance.

Therefore, even if he won in the end, he kept shrinking behind the city wall, and he didn't perform at all, how could he compete with Zhengyang Wu in the top four.

If you don't win the top four, how can you compete for opportunities?

Xu Cheng is a martial arts idiot and is not good at drilling camps, and even Guan De taught him what to do at the banquet that day.

As for Sun Yunshi, although it is a faction, Guan De does not look down on the other party at all.

At this time, Sun Yunshi was standing on the opposite side of him.

"If you like to defend, then the front few camps will be left to you to guard!"

Guan De said suddenly, and at the same time, the number of people who echoed it exceeded half of the number on their side, and the faces of the few people in the gate suddenly changed greatly.

If they are really placed at the front, then they will be eliminated in the first place.

When the attackers are fully armed, they will definitely step up their attacks.

They are good at defense, so even if they choose to hold on, they can show what they can do.

But now it seems that Guan De will not give them this opportunity at all.

And here, Huang Linxian, who has the most right to speak, doesn't care about anything at all, Guan De belongs to the curtain and listens to politics, and he has great power.

A few people saw that if they continued to stalemate, they would not get any benefit at all, so they chose to compromise.

Guan De, who finally won the victory, chose Chice 20 times, and Chice's role is more reflected in the attack.

And the trap was also chosen 20 times.

As for the defensive-oriented city defense, there were only 10 times.

When this result was delivered to Zhu Ying and Weng Bingliang, neither of them was surprised, it seemed that they had expected it.

At this time, the attacker also had soldiers here who took the attacker's three helpers.

Liu Xin distributed it to everyone to see.

[Attacker] has an arrow array, ships, and stone throwing [The requirement of victory, the soldiers are at least 20%. The manager can't afford to lose. 100,000 troops, 120 generals.

Arrow array [can consume city defenses and so on remotely, causing 500-1000 troop damage, depending on the effect.] 】

Ships can increase forward speed by a factor of five. Can be obtained by enemies. Each ship needs 100 troops to garrison. Each ship carries 500 people, depending on the effect. 】

Stone Throwing [Advances at a slower speed, one-third of the infantry speed.] Each slinger requires 100 troops. Can hit the city defenses. 500-2000 troops damage each time, depending on the effect. 】

"Guys, what do you think?"

This time, Liu Xin decided to ask everyone's opinions first.

"The arrow array is a sharp weapon, which can be used to turn defeat into victory at critical moments, I think the more the merrier!"

Zheng Xiao said that his father was a master of the arrow array. He once used 100,000 crossbow arrows to defeat an army of 30,000 men.

Although it was done by taking advantage of the geographical advantages and people, it was already an extremely brilliant victory.

Therefore, Zheng Xiao has a deep attainment in the arrow array.

"I think it's very important that the ships are in the terrain of the water, we have fewer troops than them, they are the defenders, and it is impossible to send a large army.

We need strong mobility! ”

Ning Yi spoke second.

At the same time, Wei Zongquan and Hu Gengchen both agreed.

Liu Xin finally looked at Huangfu Rongjiang, and Huangfu Rongjiang pondered for a moment and said:

"I think the same as Brother Liu, the enemy will definitely choose to consume us as much as possible. And the stone-throwing can actually destroy the defender's three kinds of power.

Whether it's a chice, a trap, or a city defense, the slings can strike at it. ”

After Huangfu Rongjiang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin and wanted to hear his advice.

"Actually, I think what you say is reasonable!"

Liu Xin's answer this time was not affirmed by everyone, and everyone looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin smiled and continued:

"I think you all have what you are good at.

I am not qualified to be the commander of this camp, and it is actually not qualified to command the whole army.

So I have a suggestion that we need to rearrange our respective roles.

For example, I know very well that I am positioned as a general at best.

However, the emperor has the ability to command the whole army, so I suggest that the position of commander of the camp should be handed over to the emperor Rongjiang. ”

"No, change the commander on the spot, it's taboo on the battlefield!"

Luo Bei was the first to object, and the second turned out to be Hu Gengchen.

Hu Gengchen was a disciple of Hou Song Gongdao of Tanzhou, the deputy chief officer of the Fifth Military Battalion.

Although it is low-key, it has a high status in the camp of Qin Guogong.

Huangfu Rongjiang glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"No, we're not at war right now. Our current stage is equivalent to the selection stage before the expedition.

I'll be honest, and I'm certainly not going to admit that I'm not as good as you.

But after all, you have been exposed to it since you were a child, and you are naturally far superior to me in the way of soldiers.

If I were given time to study, I would not be left behind.

But at this moment, it is a critical moment for the Zhengyang martial arts competition, and I can't force me to do what I'm not good at because I'm a layman, in order to get a good ranking.

Therefore, please understand! ”

Liu Xin's words were reasonable, and in the end, everyone discussed, and to Liu Xin's surprise, Hu Gengchen became the coach of the attacking side.

Because he is calm enough, and at the same time, his master Song Gongdao is especially good at field combat.

For attacking Shuibo with complex terrain, his ability is obviously stronger than that of Huangfu Rongjiang.

This was a surprise to Liu Xin.

However, Hu Gengchen listened to Liu Xin's suggestion, and at the same time, after some deliberation, he finally made a decision.

Liu Xin, Luo Bei, Ning Yi and the remaining dozen contestants led 10,000 troops, as well as 10 ships. Act as a striker.

Zheng Xiao and Shan Si, with more than 20 contestants, led 20,000 troops and 20 arrow formations. Act as a right flank and attack from the right.

Huangfu Rongjiang led more than 20 contestants, led 30,000 troops, and 15 stone-throwing. Act as a middle army and attack from the center.

Wei Zongquan led nineteen people, led 20,000 troops, and 5 arrow arrays. Act as the left flank and feint from the left flank.

Wei Zongquan, as a disciple of Wu Guogong's third son, also has good abilities, so he leads the army alone.

And Hu Gengchen sat in the rear, leading 20,000 people, with the remaining dozen contestants.

After the front army takes the stronghold, he can garrison the opponent's stronghold, as a base camp, as an attacker, in fact, it is much better than the defender in terms of mobility and flexibility.

The attacker's main direction of attack is finally set on the middle and right flanks.

Liu Xin, as a striker, is both a pathfinder and a supporter, with ships, their mobility is the strongest!

Penetrate the right side and finally complete the circle with the left side.

This is the complete strategy of the attacker.

The result chosen by the defender here is:

[Defender] has traps, odd ceremonies, city defense [victory requirements are to break more than eighty percent of the enemy, or defend the position for half a year. 200,000 troops, 60 generals

Trap [20 times] [Reduce the enemy's damage by 500-1000 troops each time, see the effect.] 】

Qi Ce [20 times] [Including fire attacks, arrow formations, falling rocks, etc., can reduce the enemy's 500-5000 force damage, see the effect. 】

City Defense [10 times] [Enhance the defensive ability, you can directly increase the militia, and the combat power is equal to 30% of the soldiers]

The defenders have a total of fifteen strongholds, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Originally, there were a total of eighteen places they had to defend, but Guan De directly gave up three.

And in these three places, no less than ten traps were arranged.

If you can hit all of them, you don't even need to spend a single soldier or a general, and you can defeat up to 10% of the attacker's troops.

The time soon came to sunset, and everyone came to the martial arts arena.

handed over the first stage of his arrangement to Weng Bingliang, and then left the camp for Majiawan.

Majiawan is only three miles from the camp, and it will be there soon.

At this time, Majiawan was full of fires, and 2,000 soldiers had surrounded the place.

This Majiawan is actually not very big, the longest from east to west is only 12 miles, the west side is narrower, and the north and south are only 4 miles.

On the east side, it is wide enough to have eight miles.

The defenders entered Majiawan first.

"There are a total of eighteen strongholds here, and the waterways are interconnected, and many of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is really difficult for us to attack on the attacking side.

It is no wonder that the imperial court has not cleared the waters of Liangshan for so many years. ”

Huangfu Rongjiang came to Liu Xin's side, and the two watched as the defenders entered Majiawan by boat.

Half an hour later, Weng Bingliang stood on the side of the attacker and announced the official start of the exercise.

And as the soldiers beat the drums, the first day began!
