135. Chapter 135
After a day of actual combat assessment, the next day, the most important sand table deduction assessment in the military training course was also held as scheduled!
Du Long, a student of the martial arts cultivation department, naturally has to participate in this kind of military cultivation sand table practical assessment!
The sand table deduction assessment was relatively simple at the beginning, using two and two battles, each with two military instructors as referees, the students carried out the knockout round, the winner advanced, and the other winners continued to deduce, and the results were calculated.
Due to the large number of participants, it is impossible to be arranged on the sand table of the military training hall for assessment, and all the participating students can only be arranged in the classrooms of each grade, dividing the classroom into three parts, the contestants on both sides participate in the performance at the same time, and the referee in the middle is responsible for supervising the judgment!
Du Long passed all the way, and with the help of various whimsical tricks of the spirit beauties, he defeated his opponents one after another, and finally reached the finals of the grade, and the finals will produce the first and second places in the grade!
In the finals of the grade sand table deduction, Du Long met a good opponent, but he still couldn't compare with the beauty of the ring, and was done by dividing five by two.
At this point, Du Long finally won the first place in the overall assessment of the grade, and he also won the opportunity to compete with the first place in the sand table deduction of each grade of the martial arts department and the first place player in the sand table deduction of each grade of the military cultivation department on the sand table in the military cultivation hall!
This kind of duel, to be honest, is very unfair to a freshman like Du Long, who has just joined the Royal Academy for a year, but it is done every year, and every old student also comes over like this!
Since the establishment of the Royal Academy, those who have won the first place in the sand table deduction of the whole academy are basically those senior students of the military cultivation department, and the strength of the martial arts students in military cultivation is generally weaker.
However, this year, because of Du Long's joining, after his previous performance in the actual combat assessment, no one dares to arbitrarily assert him in the practical assessment of the military cultivation sand table!
Especially after he easily defeated all the students of this grade one after another and won the first place in the second-year sand table deduction, many people are curious about what kind of outstanding performance he will have in the next sand table finals of the whole school!
There are a total of thirteen classes in the military cultivation class, and the first-year freshmen of the martial arts department have just entered the school for a month, and they are not eligible to participate, so the martial arts department only has the second to fourth grades, and the three players who won the first place in the class are eligible to participate in the battle!
As a result, there are only sixteen players who have qualified to participate in the finals of the annual military repair sand table deduction!
Due to the urgency of time, the first place players in the sand table deduction competition of all grades such as Du Long were quickly gathered and began to play the final finals!
This kind of sand table deduction couldn't be easier for Du Long, after all, he has a super cheat, as long as he acts according to the instructions given by the Ring Spirit Beauty.
On the sand table of the Military Cultivation Hall, Du Long once again easily defeated three players and successfully advanced to the finals!
In this regard, many people feel numb, and everyone can only think that he is a monster!
At the finals of the sand table deduction the next day, a group of old guys who made countless people look sideways came, and they were the old emperor, Fan Kun, Wei Xuan, and Du Fengzhong......
These older generations of the Haotian Empire were actually attracted by an annual military cultivation sand table deduction of the Royal Academy, and there was a hint of weirdness here!
In the military cultivation hall, all the audience stood up and saluted respectfully, and after a bunch of old men sat down, they sat down one after another!
"Don't be nervous! Operate like the usual sand table deduction competition, just when we don't exist!" Feeling the tense atmosphere of the scene, the old emperor said with a smile, what he said was mainly for those referee instructors.
Haotian Royal Academy also attaches great importance to this sand table deduction finals, and the old dean personally presided over this sand table deduction finals, which is also very rare in previous years.
"I announce! At the end of the year 1007, the finals of the annual military repair sand table deduction will start now! The terrain of this sand table deduction is the Shimen Mountain Fortress on the south bank of the Weishui River of the Haotian Empire! The two sides of the competition will now draw lots to choose the attacking and defending sides, with 60,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry! 30,000 infantry and 10,000 archers on the defending side! Each will have a month's worth of food and grass! The game will start now!" The old dean stood up and announced loudly.
Wow......
Even if there was a group of old men there, there were still bursts of discussion in the military cultivation hall, and many people didn't understand why this sand table deduction finals was set up in this offensive and defensive way, rather than the fairest balanced mutual attack mode for both sides.
You know, this way of attacking and defending is a bit unfair, the reason is very simple, for example, the number of attackers is large, and there is naturally more grain and grass, if you only defend at the beginning of the attack, transfer part of the troops from the battlefield, and leave grain and grass, in that case, grinding can also grind the defenders in the city.
And most of the defenders did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and when the food and grass were exhausted, there was only a dead end!
Next to the dark box of the draw, Du Long looked at the opponent with a serious face and smiled: "No need to draw lots! I am willing to give up the choice, and the opponent will choose the offensive and defensive side first!"
Wow......
The audience was in an uproar again, they didn't know whether to say that Du Long was a bold artist, or whether to say that he was arrogant and arrogant, everyone didn't know, this was actually the idea of the spirit beauties, not from Du Long's original intention!
"Hehe, Fengzhong, you grandson is so courageous!" the old emperor said to Old Man Du with a smile.
"This stinky boy! It's so crazy, see how he will end up?!Let the old emperor laugh!" Old Man Du shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I don't think so! You say, is he so confident because he has that strange ability? In the military cultivation sand table deduction, if he uses that ability, it will not be difficult for him to break into the finals!" said the old man Wei pointedly.
"What strange ability?!" Fan Kun on the side said curiously.
Regarding Fan Kun's question, the other three old men who had reached the strength of the spirit level did not answer his question, and after glancing at each other, they showed a meaningful smile, but no one solved the puzzle for this old man Fan!
"If he uses this ability to win, then someone else has this kind of ability! In the absence of a good way to stop him from using that ability, let's take a closer look, it's useless to think about it!" said the old emperor helplessly.
Because Du Long took the initiative to give up the right to choose offense and defense, his opponent, Fan Jun, an old student from the fourth year of the military cultivation department, did not know how to be polite, and directly chose the attacking side.
The game soon unfolded, and the attacking and defending sides began to give constant orders to direct their respective legions to carry out their strategic objectives!
That Fan Jun is Fan Tong's cousin, he has a mediocre talent in martial arts, but he is particularly interested in military cultivation, so he put all his body and mind on military cultivation, and he didn't want to really let him be famous in the military cultivation department of the Royal Academy, but this time he actually let him go all the way to the finals!
Fan Jun's keen talent in military cultivation told him that choosing the attacking side, according to his strategic intentions, there was definitely more than eighty percent chance of winning, and as soon as the game began, he sent 60,000 infantry to press Shimen Mountain City on all fronts and launch a fierce attack!
In this regard, Du Long responded calmly, and sent 10,000 archers and 30,000 infantry almost all to the city wall for defense, in addition, he also secretly sent hundreds of people into Shimen Mountain to pick three local specialty herbs, one of which was called the main medicine called Eroding Intestine Fruit was specially explained to pick enough to pick 500 catties.
In the Military Cultivation Hall, all the audience were wondering how this kid could send someone to do such a strange thing, and several old men were even more puzzled, how could this kid know that there were these three medicinal materials in Shimen Mountain!
Of course, the two sides that are fighting do not know the detailed information of the other party, only know some things that are happening on the surface, or some things that can be seen by the probe, otherwise, it is not called sand table deduction!
This Shimen Mountain City is just a small city of less than 10,000 people, the city wall is only six meters high, its west side is next to Shimen Mountain, and the other three sides are the plains of a horse and a flat river, fortunately in this sand table deduction, as the siege party has no heavy siege weapons, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight at all!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the siege battle almost never stopped under the command of Fan Jun, with 60,000 infantry and 20,000 infantry at a time, taking turns in three batches to rest and recuperate, and constantly launching attacks on Shimen Mountain City.
The defender defended with all his might, and the attacker attacked the city with all his might, and the battle was calculated according to the attack and defense of 1:2.5, and in three days, the defender lost 10,000 horses, and the attacker lost 25,000 people!
There are only 30,000 left of Du Long's 40,000 horses, and 55,000 horses left of the 80,000 horses of the Fan army, so far, the attackers began to order 15,000 wounded soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield, and only 40,000 horses were left in the small city of Shimen Mountain surrounded on three sides, including 20,000 infantry, and 20,000 elite cavalry who had not moved from beginning to end, with 20,000 cavalry, the Fan army was not afraid that the infantry in the city would dare to rush out and die!
It took three days, and the hundreds of people sent by Du Long to collect medicine in the back mountain of Shimen Mountain City finally rushed back, according to the opinion of the judges, the area of Shimen Mountain was indeed rich in the three medicinal materials that Du Long said, and it took three days to complete the task.
Under the curious attention of all the audience, Du Long gave the latest order, ordering someone to mix three medicinal herbs and boil them in a large pot according to the method he said, refining a highly poisonous potion called Broken Intestine Water.
At this point, many people guessed what he was going to do, but only a few people who were familiar with the terrain of Shimen Mountain really understood what Du Long wanted to do, and they were all dumbfounded.
Sure enough, as these people expected, Du Long ordered all the highly poisonous gut-breaking water that had been refined to be poured into the water source of the back mountain, which flowed down the mountain and happened to be the only source of drinking water for the enemy troops outside the city!
Of course, the time to pour the poisonous water must be to choose a certain time period before the enemy army downstream cooks and fetches water, in order to grasp this timing, Du Long also asked people to put some paper boat lanterns for wishing into the water at night, and then observe how much time it will take for them to drift downstream, and calculate the amount of advance from this.
At this point, Du Long, the defender of the city, unexpectedly wiped out all the enemy troops, and when Fan Jun was informed that his entire army was annihilated, he didn't understand how his army was wiped out inexplicably, and rushed out angrily on the spot to ask the referee to understand!
Seeing this result, the old emperor said a meaningful word: "Wei Xuan! Why didn't I see that kid Du Long using that strange ability?! Judging from his familiarity with the terrain near Shimen Mountain, it seems that being able to achieve such good results has little to do with that ability!"
