Chapter 166 The crisis is approaching 1

Haotian Royal Academy also attaches great importance to this sand table deduction finals. It is also very rare in previous years that the old dean personally presides over this sand table deduction finals.

"I declare! At the end of 1007 in the Star Calendar, the finals of the annual military repair sand table game will start now! The terrain of this sand table game is the Shimen Mountain Fortress on the south bank of the Weishui River in the Haotian Empire! 60,000, 20,000 cavalry! The defender has 30,000 infantry and 10,000 archers! Each has a month's supply of food and grass! The match begins now!" The old dean stood up and announced loudly.

Wow...

Even though there were a group of old men there, there were still bursts of discussions in the military training hall. Many people didn't understand why this sand table deduction final was set up in this way of offense and defense, instead of the most fair and balanced mutual attack mode for both sides.

You must know that this offensive and defensive method is somewhat unfair. The reason is very simple. For example, the attacker has a large number of people and naturally has a lot of food and grass. Food and grass, in that case, grinding can also grind to death the defenders in the city.

And most of the defenders dare not go out of the city to meet the enemy. When the food and grass are exhausted, there is only one dead end!

Next to the lottery black box, Du Long looked at the serious opponent with a smile and said: "There is no need to draw lots! I am willing to give up the right to choose, and let the opponent 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 man of high art and boldness, or that he was arrogant. Everyone didn't know that this was actually the idea of ​​the ring spirit beauty, not Du Long's original intention. !

"Hehe! Fengzhong, your grandson is so courageous!" the old emperor said to Mr. Du with a smile.

"This brat! He's so crazy, let's see how he will end up? Let the old emperor laugh!" Old Man Du shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I don't think so! Do you think he is so confident because of that strange ability? In the military training sand table deduction, if he uses that ability, it will not be difficult for him to enter the finals." Ah!" Old Man Wei said pointedly.

"What strange ability?" Fan Kun asked curiously.

Regarding Fan Kun's question, the other three old men who had reached the spiritual level did not answer his question. After looking at each other, they showed meaningful smiles, but no one answered this old man Fan's doubts!

"If he uses this ability to win, it's because he has this ability! Since there is no good way to prevent him from using that ability, let's take a closer look. It's useless to think too much!" the old emperor said helplessly.

Since Du Long took the initiative to give up the right to choose offense and defense, his opponent, Fan Jun, a fourth-year veteran student from the military training department, didn't know how to be polite, so he directly chose the attack side.

The game unfolded quickly, and the offensive and defensive sides began to issue instructions continuously to direct their respective legions to implement their strategic goals!

That Fan Jun is Fan Tong's cousin. He has mediocre talent in martial arts, but he is particularly interested in military training, so he puts all his heart and soul into military training, not wanting to really make him famous in the military training department of the Royal Academy. , This time he made it all the way to the finals!

Fan Jun's keen talent in military training told him that choosing the attacking side, according to his strategic intentions, has an absolute chance of winning more than 80%. At the beginning of the game, he dispatched 60,000 infantry to attack Shimen Mountain City from all fronts, and launched a fierce attack!

In this regard, Du Long responded calmly, and almost all 10,000 archers and 30,000 infantry were sent to the city wall for defense. In addition, he also secretly sent hundreds of people into Shimen Mountain to pick three kinds of local special herbs. The name of the main medicine is Huanxichangguo, and it is specially told that it must be picked in a quantity of five hundred catties.

In the military training hall, all the audience were wondering how this kid would send someone to do such a strange thing, and the old men were even more puzzled, how did this kid know that Shimen Mountain had these three kinds of medicinal materials!

Of course, the two parties who are fighting do not know the detailed information of the other party, but only know some things that are happening on the surface, or some things that can be seen by the detectives. Otherwise, it is not called a sand table deduction!

This Shimen Mountain City is just a small city with less than 10,000 people. The city wall is only six meters high. It is adjacent to Shimen Mountain to the west, and the other three sides are plains. Fortunately, in this sand table deduction, there is no heavy-duty siege party Weapons, otherwise this battle will be impossible to fight!

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Under the command of Fan Jun, the siege battle almost never stopped. The 60,000 infantry, 20,000 at a time, were divided into three batches to rest and rest, constantly launching attacks on Shimen Mountain City.

The defenders defend with all their strength, and the attackers attack the city with all their strength. This battle is calculated as 1 to 2.5 between the attackers and defenders. After three days, the defenders lost 10,000 horses and the attackers lost 25,000 people!

Only 30,000 of Du Long's 40,000 horses remained, and 55,000 of Fan's 80,000 horses remained. At this point, the attackers began to order 15,000 wounded soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield. Forty thousand horses, including 20,000 infantry, and 20,000 elite cavalry who have never been moved from the beginning to the end, with 20,000 cavalry, Fan Jun is not afraid that the infantry in the city will dare to rush out to die!

It took three days, and the hundreds of people Du Long sent to the back mountain of Shimen Mountain City to collect herbs finally came back. According to the opinion of the judges, the area around Shimen Mountain is indeed rich in the three kinds of medicinal materials that Du Long said. Enough to get the job done.

Under the curious attention of all the audience, Du Long issued the latest instruction, ordering people to mix the three kinds of medicinal materials in a large pot according to the method he said and boil them to make a highly poisonous potion called intestine-broken water.

So far, many people have guessed what he is going to do, but only a few people who are familiar with the topography of Shimen Mountain really understand what Du Long wants to do, and they are all dumbfounded.

Sure enough, as expected by these people, Du Long ordered to pour all the highly poisonous heart-breaking water refined into the water source in the back mountain. This water source flows down the mountain, which 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 a certain period of time before the downstream enemy army 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 Watch how long it takes them to drift downstream and use that to calculate your lead.

So far, Du Long, the defender of the city, wiped out all the enemy troops unexpectedly. When Fan Jun was notified that his entire army was wiped out, he never understood how his army was wiped out inexplicably, and was furious on the spot He rushed out to ask the referee for clarification!

Seeing this result, the old emperor said a meaningful sentence: "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, he was able to achieve such Good grades don't seem to have much to do with that ability!"

"The old emperor is right!" The old man Wei nodded and said seriously: "From this sand table deduction, it can be seen that Du Long is not only very familiar with the randomly selected terrain of Shimen Mountain, but also has a good understanding of the terrain of Shimen Mountain. This product is also very clear, this is very important for a famous general!"

"That's right! Familiar with the terrain of the battlefield, familiar with the detailed information of the battlefield as much as possible, and use them, you can use the weak defender to counter-defense and successfully defeat opponents stronger than yourself, and from the various countermeasures he uses. It shows that he should not have used that special ability!" The old emperor continued to analyze.

These two old fellows have been talking about Du Long's special abilities. Mr. Du naturally knows what that means, but Fan Kun who is at the side can't understand what is special about that nasty little fellow. ability!
