At this time, Liang Taizong was as confused as Sheng Taizu before him.
what's the situation?
He watched helplessly as all his army disappeared, replaced by some people he had never seen before.
Although these people all wore various ancient armors and carried ancient weapons, they obviously did not look like a standard army, but more like a miscellaneous army composed of various forces.
Moreover, even a miscellaneous army is often a collection of multiple armies, and at least the uniforms within a certain army are roughly uniform.
But for these people in front of me, what they wear seems to be completely random, with no rules or systems to restrict them at all.
The players immediately gathered in front of Liang Taizong.
However, there were indeed too many players at this time, and only a handful of people could actually come to Liang Taizong. Most of them could only take a look from a distance, looking at the kingly aura soaring into the sky.
Like Sheng Taizu, Liang Taizong also had a royal aura, as if he had been given a high-gloss effect.
Although the highlighting effect spread to all players soon after, Liang Taizong was still very eye-catching.
Looking at the Goguryeo side, a large amount of demonic energy gathered, and we can see that the demons in the city are ready to move.
Especially the 150,000 troops originally sent by Goguryeo to support them were all possessed by demons at this time.
Liang Taizong was a little confused: We are about to fight a crucial battle, where is my army? Where are my Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Qibi?
There is only one polished commander left.
Chu Ge stepped forward and introduced himself again: "Your Majesty, we are the ones who protect the order of history, and we are also people from hundreds of years later."
Since both parties rely on Haoran's righteousness, they will naturally trust each other without much communication cost.
All heroic spirits that appear in the Orderer Expedition gameplay will appear in their peak state by default.
Previously, Sheng Taizu had both the strategy of his prime and the bravery of his youth.
And this time Liang Taizong was the same.
"Your Majesty, how should we fight this battle?"
The players are all waiting for Liang Taizong's command.
Obviously in this place, neither Chu Ge nor Zhao Haiping will compete with Liang Taizong for command. After all, they know it well. Even if their own level is not bad, in front of Liang Taizong, who is the best at fighting among the emperors throughout the ages.
, I can only be a humble primary school student.
Of course, Chu Ge also gave Liang Taizong a brief introduction to the players' abilities.
At present, the total number of players in "Dark Sand" has reached 200,000, but 50,000 of them have just entered the game. Although they have passed the internal beta selection, there is still a big gap in combat power compared with other players.
Although there are exceptions like Luo Ying, in general their combat power cannot be counted on.
In other words, the current rough composition of the 200,000 players is:
The 70,000 cavalry are mainly composed of warriors, rangers, and a small number of assassins.
Fifty Thousand Divine Machines, the distribution of basic professions is relatively even, with four professions available.
The population of less than 10,000 people is mainly composed of warriors and ranger players.
The rest were unable to obtain affiliated status.
After all, the trials of the three subordinate identities are indeed too difficult, and many people have not been able to obtain any of them so far.
In addition, Chu Ge also introduced to Liang Taizong the special abilities of these professions, as well as the powerful power of siege equipment, artillery, and the feature that players can be resurrected once.
Liang Taizong listened carefully, with expressions of disbelief flashing across his face.
He has rarely fought such a rich battle!
Since the Qin Dynasty, Liang Taizong always used less to win more in battles.
In this expedition to Goguryeo, he only used 60,000 infantry troops and 40,000 naval troops. Some of them were responsible for siege, and the actual troops used for field operations were only 30,000 people.
According to historical data, the total population of Goguryeo at that time was only more than three million. Even if it were higher, Goguryeo could only mobilize an army of 400,000.
But these 400,000 troops cannot all be mobile field forces. Most of them have to defend various cities, maintain stability in various places, or carry out normal agricultural production.
This time, Goguryeo sent 150,000 troops as reinforcements to rescue Anshi City. In fact, it could be regarded as a national army.
If this battle is defeated, it will be almost impossible for Goguryeo to come up with any decent mobile force to fight Liang Jun in the field.
And it was under this situation that Liang Taizong in history chose to use 30,000 people to defeat 150,000, and won a complete victory. In the first battle, Goguryeo was defeated so much that no large army dared to come to fight in the field.
It was just because the terrain of Anshi City was too dangerous that we couldn't conquer it in the end, so we had no choice but to fight.
At this time, Liang Jun was at the peak of his combat effectiveness and morale. One-on-one would be called a crushing advantage, and one-to-ten would be called evenly matched.
At this time, the combat effectiveness of the players was not inferior to that of the peak Liang Jun, and they also had various special magical powers of the orderers, which made Liang Taizong eager to try.
What's more, Liang Taizong's body had also returned to its peak condition at this time.
Historically, when he personally conquered Goguryeo, he was actually in the last years of his life. He died of illness not long after his return to the court. Therefore, he only sat in command and could no longer go into battle to kill the enemy in person.
Naturally, it is impossible for someone to behave like a wolf warrior like he did when he was young.
But at this time, Liang Taizong has returned to his peak state as King of Qin. What this means, I am afraid the players present know better than everyone else.
After all, they were beaten by the King of Qin in the previous simulation trials.
The figure riding a war horse and holding a big bow left a very deep impression on them.
At this time, Liang Taizong, or the King of Qin, directly said to the leading players: "You follow me to survey the battlefield!"
…
Soon, several players followed King Qin to survey all the terrain near Anshi City.
Anshi City is an important military town, guarding the main transportation routes.
And it is located on a hillside, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In fact, in real history, someone once suggested to Liang Taizong that they simply bypass Anshi City and send troops to directly attack the capital of Goguryeo. However, Liang Taizong did not adopt it.
Later, when his master returned to the court, Liang Taizong told Li Jing about this incident. Li Jing also thought that troops should be sent for a surprise attack, and Liang Taizong regretted it quite a bit.
However, this incident cannot be said to have reduced Liang Taizong's IQ, because judging from the aftermath, the surprise attack may have achieved good results, but it is still somewhat difficult to achieve the goal of annihilating Goguryeo in one battle.
The reason why Liang Taizong did not decide to attack Goguryeo in a surprise attack was because the location of Anshi City was too dangerous. If he could not capture this place, he would rashly bypass it and rush thousands of miles to attack the rear of Goguryeo. It was still not safe.
And Liang Taizong couldn't predict the future. He didn't expect that he didn't capture the city until the end.
At that time, it seemed that Anshi City was still very promising to be conquered.
If Liang Jun's army hadn't collapsed and the officials in charge had neglected their duties, Anshi City would have been captured long ago.
Once Anshi City was captured, Liang Jun's eastward march would have no worries and he would be able to conquer the enemy all the way.
Therefore, Anshi City can indeed be said to be the key to directly determining the outcome of this war.
The players also followed Liang Taizong to explore the surrounding terrain. In the process, their military command capabilities were naturally greatly improved.
Anshi City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the city is built on the slope of the mountain on the north side.
There is a river below that passes through the mountain. The valley created along the river is the traffic artery guarded by Ansi City, and it is also the path that continues deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo.
The river flows southward, and not far after leaving Anshi City, there is a small open space in the southwest. This is the most suitable place for troops to launch operations.
Goguryeo's reinforcements came from the south and along the river valley to rescue them.
In other words, both sides will most likely use this small piece of open space as the best place for a decisive battle.
Soon, the players followed King Qin to a nearby hillside, overlooking the entire battlefield.
Zhao Haiping finally caught the opportunity and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Your Majesty, how can we be invincible if we adapt to the situation?"
King Qin smiled slightly: "Isn't this simple?
"As long as you observe the enemy's formation, you can know which of the enemy's armies is strong and which is weak.
"We only need to use our weak troops to deal with the enemy's strong troops, and then use our strong troops to attack the enemy's weak troops.
"Even if the opponent's strong army attacks our weak army, our weak army will only retreat a few hundred steps and will not be defeated; but when our strong army attacks the enemy's weak army, it must be outflanked and defeated in one battle!
"In this way, the winner will naturally be determined."
As soon as he said this, the players around him were speechless.
Good fellow, Your Majesty, what you said makes so much sense and is absolutely the truth!
It's like asking a question from a god of learning. Asking questions is a waste of time.
First of all, how to determine which army is strong and which army is weak by observing the enemy's formation? Is it through formation? Temperament? Or is it the illusory... morale?
Secondly, why is it that when our weak troops are attacked by the opponent's ace army, they only retreat a few hundred steps and don't retreat?
Finally, why can our strong troops be able to directly penetrate the opponent's weak troops in one wave?
It can only be said that this thing is a bit like an advanced version of Tian Ji's horse racing, but in actual operation, it is much more difficult than Tian Ji's horse racing. There are slight differences in details, and the results are completely different.
It can only be said that King Qin’s art of war was not taught to humans.
There are only two kinds of operations: the first is that you can understand it, but you can't learn it; the second kind is that you can't understand it, but you can't learn it.
Just like every time he fights, he first strengthens the wall and clears the country, constantly sends small groups of troops to harass the enemy's food routes, and starts frantically operating on multiple fronts until the opponent can no longer stand it and starts to retreat, chasing him all the way to death.
There is also what he said about using weak troops to carry the opponent's strong troops, and then using one's own strong troops to poke at the opponent's weak troops.
These are all operations that you can understand, but cannot learn.
As for the few cavalrymen of the King of Qin who dared to go to the camp of a hundred thousand troops to taunt and provoke, or who dared to charge a hundred thousand men with a few thousand men, these are operations that cannot be understood and cannot be learned.
Soon, King Qin had thoroughly explored the nearby terrain and began to arrange his troops.
"Fan Cun, Luo Ying.
"You two each lead 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. Form an array on the hillside to the west of this open space, display your banners, and attract the Goguryeo army to come for a decisive battle!
"Li Hongyun.
"You and ten thousand divine machines are also covering on the hillside!
"Zhao Haiping.
"You lead 20,000 elite cavalry and hide in the canyons of Beishan on the east bank of the river, waiting for opportunities to outflank the enemy's retreat!
"I personally lead five thousand cavalry to watch and command the battle from the heights of Beishan!
"Others continue to storm Anshi City. I hope that the day the field battle is won will also be the day when Anshi City is defeated!" This chapter has been completed!
