Although Faerûn has a long history, there really is no good teaching material in terms of tactics and strategies.
There is no way, the first half of the history of this world belongs to the dragons and giants, and the brilliant ones in the middle are the elves. In the past few thousand years, humans have slowly stepped onto the stage of history. During this period, several brilliant human civilizations have appeared, or the minds of the dots.
The technology tree, or the magic technology tree, like the Netheril Empire, even the floating city is highlighted, so what strategies and tactics can be used - just drive the floating city to the capital and bombard it with magic.
The most important thing is the demonic characteristics of Faerûn, which makes individuals extremely powerful, some monsters extremely powerful, and dragons flying all over the sky. Most civilizations are island-style city-state civilizations - Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep.
It is the most typical existence.
Many strategies are based on personal force, and rarely use troops to fight, so naturally no one pays attention to it.
This does not mean that strategies and tactics are useless at all. Tempus, the god of war and the number one battle madman among the gods, secretly cultivated an illegitimate daughter, the Yin Red Knight, and took advantage of the turmoil among the gods last year to directly promote her to a
He had his own subordinate god and was responsible for the priesthood of strategy, so he probably saw the prospects in it.
In terms of strategy and tactics, Zhang You's ancestors knew the best in this area. They were forced by Zhang's father to read many ancient books on this subject. A set of seven martial arts books contains seven methods of war——
"Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Six Tao", "Sima Fa", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liaozi" and "Li Weigong's Questions".
Just reading it is one thing, but memorizing it is another thing, especially that kind of obscure ancient text.
For a moment, all Gavin could think of was the best strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
When the book is used, I will regret it less.
The ancients do not deceive me. If I had known what would happen today, I should have memorized the Seven Books of Martial Arts by heart.
Gavin was not someone who gave up easily. After delivering Zalanda's summons order to the captains of the Nott militia, he hurried back to his room, locked the doors and windows, and set up a simple alarm trap.
Wearing clothes, holding a one-handed sword, he got into bed, and within a few seconds, he entered a trance state.
This is the silver elf blood flowing in Gavin's body, giving him a special ability, a trance unique to the elf race.
Trance is a common language term. Elves prefer to call it meditation, a semi-awake state of deep meditation. Four hours of deep meditation can equal eight hours of good sleep for normal humans. This is why elves are immune to sleep.
Due to magic, unless they are in a coma, they generally will not enter the sleep state.
Whether you are standing, lying down, or sitting, you can enter a trance state, but in terms of effect, the best thing is to lie on a comfortable bed. After all, once you enter a trance state, your body will also enter a relaxed state.
The trance state is very mysterious. You can vaguely feel your body and the situation four or five meters around you, but your consciousness is highly active, especially the memories in your mind, like movie clips, rolling out from time to time for you to savor them again.
This is the reason why elves have a life span of seven or eight centuries, but they still have clear memories of things that happened a few centuries ago, because they always dig deep into their memories in deep meditation.
It's just that the specific memory that was dug up is not completely under Gavin's control. This is somewhat related to dreams, but not completely.
In Zhang You's life, he firmly believed in the existence of psychic abilities because he would occasionally enter a trance state in deep sleep.
The only more useful method that can be deduced from Zhang You's life is to think about it every day and dream about it at night.
Before going to bed, repeatedly strengthen your memory of something. After entering a trance, the things that come to mind are most likely related to it. Of course, it may also be a real dream, and all kinds of weird things will come out.
A dreamless night.
Gai Wen failed to translate various ancient books on the art of war, but he translated 180 Tang poems and Song lyrics, which were of no use in Faerun. Translating them in common language would completely lose the artistic conception of the poems, which would be a waste of time.
Local people in London can't appreciate it at all.
When Gavin ended his trance, it was just dawn.
But someone got up earlier than him. Zalanda had already led a group of Nott militia captains, running around to set up their troops. He didn't know if they had stayed up all night, or if they only fought one person.
nap.
Compared to them, Gavin is still a little too relaxed.
Zalanda and the others fully implemented the concept of racing against time. The earlier they evacuated from Fort Nott, the fewer variables they would have.
Please enter the jar.
To implement this tactic, the most difficult thing is not to invite the enemy in, but to convince your own people to accept this bold and dangerous plan.
If Roang takes the lead in implementing this plan, don't even think about it, it will definitely not succeed, because before that, his own people have already started it.
If it were implemented by Zalanda, on three-thirds of an acre of land in Fort Nott, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
The reason why Gavin dared to propose this plan to Zalanda yesterday was based on this understanding.
"Today, we are not fighting for Tessel, nor for the Nott family, nor for me, Zalanda, but for ourselves. Victory must belong to us!" Zalanda, dressed in military uniform, sat on the battlefield.
Immediately, put down your visor and raise your sword high, with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Victory must belong to us!"
"Victory must belong to us!!"
"Victory must belong to us!!!"
The fighting spirit of the entire Fort Nott was ignited by Zalanda's few words.
"Open the city gate!" Zalanda ordered again.
Amidst a creaking sound, Nott City's heavy city gate slowly opened, like a monster opening its mouth, waiting for its prey to come to the door.
"Haka...guah..." - goblin language "What's going on?"
"*Sahara..." - Goblin language "I don't know either!"
"Gahala..." - Goblin language "Come on, humans are trying to escape!"
Nott City's sudden reaction caused a commotion among the goblin tribe outside the city. There was a loud and shrill quarrel in goblin language, and they all discussed what was going on with the abnormal behavior of humans. However, with their poor IQ, they basically could not discuss it.
produce decent results.
When a green-skinned dwarf rushed towards the gate of Nott City, waving his simple weapon, the other goblins did not need the encouragement of the hobgoblins behind them, so they howled and joined the charge.
.
The goblin is nicknamed the cannon fodder Little Fool, not without reason. His behavior at this moment fully explains the origin of the word Little Fool.
Especially when the goblins running at the front rushed into the city gate, more goblins behind were encouraged and started to charge.
In their concept, as long as they can break through the door of humans, humans are two-legged sheep to be slaughtered. Even if they are nearly twice as tall and strong as they are, they can only be slaughtered by them.
