From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 389 Military Chess Deduction
Leng Xiyao would not promise anything empty or false. For example, the current plan to unify the northern provinces within a few months would be a historic event.

No one questioned Leng Xiyao's words. In fact, the fact that ordinary people like them could now have the same value as soul masters was enough for them to die for them.

The life of an ordinary person, no matter how good he or she lives, is just farming, working, paying taxes to nobles whom he or she may never meet in his or her life, finding a partner he or she does not like, leaving offspring, and finally dying in bed due to various diseases. When others mention this person, they cannot even think of any experience worthy of praise.

No aspiring young people would like such a life, but now, they have such an opportunity. As long as they follow Leng Xiyao, even if they die on this road, others will praise them in the future when they mourn: "What a warrior!"

All of them stood up straight and shouted at the same time: "We are willing to die for you, sir!"

No one hesitated. Those who were able to come along had already prepared themselves mentally. Anyone who hesitated might have chosen to stay in Tiandou City long ago.

Leng Xiyao was very satisfied with this, so she said to Luo Qianrou beside her: "Sister Qianrou, I have already marked out an area. It is the best residential area here. You can settle everyone down."

As she spoke, she looked at the series of trucks again: "With these means of transportation, it shouldn't be a problem to get around the city."

"By the way, this is Nishizumi Miho, the ace commander I invited. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become the highest-level commander. You can also learn more from her." Leng Xiyao took Nishizumi Miho's hand and introduced her to everyone.

"Hello~" Nishizumi Miho smiled shyly. She looked like a little girl next door and did not have the temperament of a commander at all.

After hearing Leng Xiyao's introduction, Shen Yun's face suddenly became a little ugly: "Boss, are you sure you want to let her come? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

It's not that he is jealous, nor does he mind having someone more powerful than him, but Nishizumi Miho's image at this time does not seem like that of a powerful person. Shen Yun is worried that she will use her beauty or something else to charm Leng Xiyao, causing her to make a hasty decision.

Miho Nishizumi looks like two completely different people in life and work, one is a naive girl next door, the other is a mature and steady commander. This change is like being taken away from someone else's body.

"How about, how about we play a game of military chess?" Nishizumi Miho blinked and looked at Shen Yun with a smile.

Military chess is an entertainment activity for the upper class of Douluo. Both sides can manipulate various soul master legions on the sandbox, match their own legions when the total strength is almost the same, and use unique tactics to fight. It is an extremely interesting way of playing chess.

More expensive chessboards will be equipped with special soul guides. As the various rules are refined, the gains and losses of the sandbox terrain can become no different from a real battlefield. There is even battlefield fog. Both sides need to conduct their own reconnaissance. The chessboard will also calculate the results of each encounter in real time based on the scene and the tactics issued by both sides. It is much more realistic than war chess games such as Hearts of Iron or Civilization that Leng Xiyao has played.

This type of military chess is very popular in the base and is everyone's favorite form of entertainment. The games played are all relatively realistic versions. Although this method cannot directly train qualified commanders, it can allow most people to have a certain understanding of the battlefield and better understand their own position.

The local military chess in Douluo is divided into organizations such as cavalry, mages, archers, and soul guide legions, while the chess pieces inside the base are changed into organizations such as infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry, and armored divisions. You can play against the same organization or against soul masters. There are also sieges and encounters on the terrain battlefield. The strength of both sides will also have a certain gap due to the offensive and defensive conditions to ensure fairness. There are countless combinations and you will never get tired of playing for decades.

Shen Yun was invincible in the base. When he heard that Nishizumi Miho wanted to play against him, he immediately took out the chessboard and said, "Okay, let's see how good you are!"

Leng Xiyao, who was standing by, watched the situation from both sides and said unhappily, "Hey, hey, now is such an important time and there are still so many things to do. If you want to fight back, just fight slowly!"

Shen Yun froze. He was very obedient and would naturally not go against Leng Xiyao's wishes.

Nishizumi Miho said, "It's okay. I've also learned about this thing and have always wanted to play with it, but unfortunately no one is with me. A skirmish involving 10,000 people will only take a few minutes to end. I'll give him another 2,000 troops, so it won't take too long."

Hearing these arrogant words, Shen Yun was a little panicked. In this medium-scale encounter, the two sides were equally strong, with 5,000 soldiers each, but the other side actually sent out nearly half of them.
The person Leng Xiyao likes is definitely not a fool, which means he has some ability.

"Okay then." Leng Xiyao stopped persuading him and found a stone to use as a table. She asked the two to start and pulled the others to watch the fight.

Luo Qianrou knew that the young men and women in the base also liked to play this, so under the expectant gaze of everyone, she took out the projection soul guide, projected the chess game between the two, and did a live broadcast.

Miho Nishizumi naturally used armored tactics, combining armored divisions with mechanized infantry.

After thinking about it, Shen Yun decided to focus on defense, with artillery as the main force and armored divisions as the auxiliary force.

Neither side was clear about the other's legion ratio, and could only survey the terrain based on the troop's field of vision, so naturally they had no idea of ​​the opponent's troop deployment.

Nishizumi Miho seemed to have gained clairvoyance. While Shen Yun was still trying to play it safe and arranging defenses, she directly concentrated her superior forces to launch a pincer attack, breaking through the weak spots in the enemy's front line, cutting off the supply line of the enemy's artillery army, and eventually trapping and killing them all.

The quality of the artillery corps is not as good as that of the armored division, so there will be more of them. With the supplementary numbers, the combat effectiveness is actually not worse than that of the armored division. However, once there is a lack of supplies, the combat effectiveness will take a sharp turn for the worse. They have no mobility, and any attempt to break out will be quickly annihilated by the mobile forces that have surveyed the terrain. If they defend, their combat effectiveness will be reduced due to the loss of supplies. They cannot fight back, so Shen Yun can only choose to surrender.

"I don't accept it!" Shen Yun was very unconvinced. In his opinion, this was just a matter of military restraint. If he also selected all mobile troops, he would definitely win with the numerical advantage.

Unconsciously, he actually felt that he would have a chance of winning only if the other party gave way.

Leng Xiyao shrugged and had no objection. It was a good idea to let Miho teach her younger brother a lesson.

Of course Nishizumi Miho would not refuse, and this time she still gave up two thousand troops. The main forces of both sides were focused on the armored corps.
