I brought a plug-in, but we only had a 50-50 draw with him?
Could it be that it's not that he's too strong, but that I'm too weak?
Ma Su only doubted his life for a moment before he was brought back to his senses by the system's prompt tone.
【This simulation is over.】
[Evaluation: It is difficult for the system to understand the host’s cupping behavior. If cupping is not for victory, it will be meaningless.]
[You, in this Sims life, have once again deeply understood the tenth-level commander's essence of "staying alert is the key to having the last laugh", and obtained the tenth-level attribute of "Infrastructure Maniac" (full level).
】
[You can mobilize a thousand soldiers to build a three-foot-tall earth city with a radius of five miles in two hours. (Note: On this basis, the more soldiers used, the more time it will take to build the earth city.
Short. Note 2: No matter how many soldiers are used, the minimum construction time will not be less than one and a half hours)]
[You, in this life simulation, once again realized the essence of the ultimate military general: "As long as you don't show your head, you will never get a headshot."]
【Your prestige +1.】
[Your intelligence +1.]
[Your force +1.]
[Your stability +10...]
[The points earned from this simulation have been added to your "Personal Attributes".]
Ma Su was silent for a moment, and then used up all the remaining three effective simulations. He defeated three cities in a row in the simulation scene. Each time, Zhang He lost his troops and was almost half angry to death. He let out three mouthfuls of bad breath, and then opened the "Personal Attributes"
”.
Name: Ma Su.
Force: 48 (Wen Yi, Wu Mo).
Intelligence: 72 (Wu San, Wen San, note: Wen San is the last three).
Prestige: 65 (can command up to 50,000 troops. Note 1: Under this prestige, the fewer troops it commands, the higher the cohesion of the soldiers; Note 2: Cohesion is not entirely equal to combat effectiveness).
Ma Di couldn't help laughing when he thought that he had money again (sound value) and could continue to buy food.
As long as he continues to rehearse according to the results of the last simulation process, Zhang He will lose three to four thousand elite soldiers in this battle and return without success.
In this way, Zhang He initially brought 50,000 troops, but after several battles, only more than 20,000 were left.
The difference in strength between the two sides has narrowed again.
Although Zhang He is still on the side with the advantage in both military and combat power, his advantage is no longer as great as it was at the beginning.
Ma Su exited "Personal Attributes" and clicked on the mall. He was about to buy another five thousand stones of grain, but found that after clicking to buy, the grain icon was slowly cooling down, with the following mark: Cooling time, 1/7.
Damn it, where is my food?
Ma Su didn't believe in evil, so he clicked a few times, but the icon showed no response.
Fortunately, the system quickly provided an explanation.
[Note to the host: The system cannot produce food out of thin air. The purchase of food needs to be based on actual conditions. If the actual conditions are met, there is no need for a cooling time and it will be delivered the next day. If the conditions are not met, the cooling time is uncertain. Please refer to the actual cooling time.
, Note: Cooling time + 1 day is the actual delivery time.】
Could this be the system version of "Pictures are for reference only, please refer to the actual product?"
Ma Su was startled: "That is to say, if I happen to catch up with the Xiqiang grain harvest when I buy food, it will be delivered the next day. If I happen to catch up with the Xiqiang famine...then I have to wait indefinitely!"
[Note to the host: As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. The cooling time (delivery time) of the food icon will not exceed one month at most.]
Although the meaning expressed by the system was not very clear, Ma Su quickly understood its meaning.
Indeed, as a bad-tempered ethnic group living in the northwest region, the Xiqiang will not always be without food, and their bad temper will not allow them to be without food forever.
Even if there is really no food...
They will rob it.
In other words, after being impressed by Zhuge Liang's charisma and the support of the system, King Cheliji of Xiqiang became a die-hard fan of the Shu Han regime.
This behavior is somewhat similar to the behavior of later generations of fans supporting their idols.
Fans are crazy about buying their idols’ peripheral products, sending money, gold bars, and giving away to others (sending themselves to their idols’ doors)…
They are willing to give everything they have for their idols - only they have it!
Yes, fans like Xiqiang are awesome!
Only then did Ma Su understand the entire grain selling process.
When external conditions are not met, food can still be purchased, but the icon requires cooling time (it takes time to deliver).
Because the source of food is no longer prepared by the Xiqiang people themselves.
They don't have that much food either. The few food they have has been donated to the Shu army before.
Thinking of this, Ma Su suddenly became very curious about his next food purchase, which would be six days later.
I really want to know where the Xiqiang people get their food from?
Should we rob the Shaodang Qiang and Hehuang Qiang on the Qinghai Plateau, or even rob the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions? Or directly rob the Wei army's military rations?
But don't be reckless and cut off the Wei army's food route.
That would anger Wei Jun.
With Zhang He's current military strength, although he can't defeat me, General Ma Di, who is the most capable of Shu Han, it will still be very easy to deal with you Xiqiang.
But on second thought, Ma Di felt that robbing the Wei army of food was actually the best way to break the situation.
At that time, Zhang He will definitely abandon the Shu army and turn around to attack the Xiqiang people.
Once Zhang He left, the Han army could just send troops to capture Bian City, which in turn helped the Qiang people to resist the Wei army, and at the same time regained Wudu and Yinping counties.
The whole plan is interconnected.
The only doubt now is, will the Xiqiang people rob the Wei army of food and grass?
Do you want to send someone to remind Qiang King Cheliji and tell him that the important place for the Wei army to gather grain is in Shanggui City?
Ma Su shook his head and interrupted his meditation.
Now is not the time to think about this, we should first deal with the war at night.
…
It was night in a blink of an eye, and everything was quiet.
A thousand Wei soldiers who had thrown themselves into the trap sneaked into the city and were preparing to kill...
Then he put down his weapon obediently and chose to kneel down to ask for surrender.
The west gate of Tucheng slowly opened.
Zhang He looked at the silent and dark city gate, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The thousand men sent to respond didn't even make a sound?
Who opens the city gate?
This is so weird!
Zhang He waved his hand, looked at the first and second groups of Wei soldiers, and rushed into the city waving their weapons.
He followed closely behind for the third team.
The sound of "puff, plop, plop, plop" soon sounded in front of him, and Zhang He's vision suddenly became empty.
Through the faint starlight in the sky, he saw a huge deep pit.
"Xu——"
Zhang He was startled and screamed, and he quickly kicked his legs to grab the ground and brake.
The generals who followed immediately saw that the situation was not good and shouted loudly to stop the momentum of the rear army.
However, there were still many soldiers who were knocked away by the inertia of the unsuspecting soldiers behind them and fell into the pit.
The Shu soldiers guarding the urn pit didn't care, they just raised their bows and shot.
In an instant, arrows rained down.
The scene was like Shura purgatory.
A one-sided massacre.
Zhang He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, hid behind the shield, held the bow in his hand, and looked around in the face of the rain of arrows.
He was looking for Ma Su's location.
Soon, a sharp-eyed Wei soldier saw Ma Su hiding behind a pile of shields, with only half of his head exposed, and immediately shouted:
"General, Ma Su is up there!"
Zhang He followed the soldier's guidance and met Ma Su's eyes from the distance.
Ma Su raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "General Zhang, you are well. Ma has been waiting here for a long time."
Without waiting for Zhang He to reply, Ma Di sneered: "You want to win against me?"
"Innocent!"
Zhang He's eyes widened and he said nothing. He secretly gathered strength to draw the bow and shot a sharp arrow at the right moment.
He was confident that the arrow was enough to kill Ma Su, even though the latter was hiding behind a shield.
A hissing sound.
The long arrow went against the trend and headed straight for the door in front of Ma Di.
At the same time, Zhang He also cursed angrily: "Fuck me, common man!"
"Hahaha... I didn't expect that this general would be able to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps... Huh? You're not dead?!"
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Ma Su poked his head out from behind the shield and laughed.
The laughter was extraordinarily unrestrained, spreading far and wide in the empty dark night.
Zhang He was so filled with hatred that he clenched his fists and beat the ground hard, raised his shield, quickly withdrew from the bow and arrow range of the Shu soldiers, and led the remaining army...
