Chapter 1199: The Massacre of Young Children in Progress
Guo Hao was helpless. He didn't want to take this job in the first place as it should have been Wei Qing and his team's home court.
But Han Xin couldn't help but stir up trouble, saying that killing the young would help improve their strength.
It would have been fine if only Han Xin was making a fuss, but Bai Qi and Huo Qubing also said for the first time that killing children would indeed help improve their strength.
So Guo Hao took on the job that was supposed to be done by Han Xin and his team with some doubts.
Although he didn't really believe it, since three or four military gods said so, he thought he might as well give it a try. Even if he failed, it would fail.
He was not a soldier on the front line of the battlefield. If he could be used as a stepping stone to become a military god, it would be a good thing for the Han Empire.
"Jiang Boyue, you are the first one today?" Guo Hao greeted Jiang Wei casually.
At this moment, the game in this illusion has already started to be broadcast outside.
"Please give me some advice, General!" Jiang Wei was very serious.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Guo Hao is a great general who has never been defeated in a battle since his debut, and he is also a military god recognized by Han Xin and others. He is very cautious.
"Each of you will have half, and you can plan your own military strength. There are 120,000 people, and the size of the two states. You make a map of one state and I make a map of one state." Guo Hao said casually.
"One hundred and twenty thousand people?" Jiang Wei hesitated slightly. He was very curious how Guo Hao knew the limit of his command.
"Haha, after all, I am also a general who controls the whole world. I naturally understand your abilities!"
Guo Hao smiled and shook his head. Although he was a hands-off boss most of the time, he had been doing this for so long that he naturally mastered many things.
"Please give me some advice, General!" After Jiang Wei made the map, Guo Hao raised his eyebrows.
"This terrain looks like the land of Shu. Have you been studying with Zhuge Liang recently?"
Mu Yi casually used the map they had made before and hung it opposite Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei's purpose was very clear, he planned to defend to the death.
He even deliberately borrowed the land of Yizhou. It can't be said whether it was scheming or not. It can be seen that Jiang Wei attached great importance to this competition and put in a lot of effort.
"Interesting, let me see if you, Jiang Boyue, can break through the limit of fate!"
Guo Hao smiled and followed the historical attack routes of Zhong Hui and Deng Ai, attacking Jiange and Yinping at the same time.
Faced with Guo Hao's army attacking Jiange, Jiang Wei simply retreated, handed over Yangping Pass, and then retreated to the cities of Han and Le, leaving heavy troops guarding the important passes.
Then he also set up a special mountain corps to fight guerrilla warfare, specifically attacking the weak links in Guo Hao's attack.
This move directly lengthened the supply line, causing huge problems for Guo Hao's logistics.
Guo Hao was not in a hurry. He took every step carefully and nibbled away at the checkpoints along the way.
However, Guo Hao had to admit that when neither side had particularly outrageous legions and only had double-talented legions, this broken place, Yizhou, was really disgusting.
Jiang Wei also used guerrilla warfare to be elusive, filling every mountain valley with small teams, and almost taking the enemy's advance and I retreat, the enemy's camp and I harass, the enemy's tired and I attack, the enemy's retreat and I pursue to the extreme.
But it was of no use. Jiang Wei's arrangement indeed stretched the battle line, lengthened Guo Hao's supply line, and caused Guo Hao a lot of trouble.
However, this also resulted in Jiang Wei's frontal losses being almost continuous, and he soon had no choice but to defend himself.
"it's over!"
Han Xin sighed. Jiang Wei did fight well on the front line. However, after Guo Hao replicated Deng Ai's strategy of sneaking across Yinping and directly attacking Shu Han, Jiang Wei's rear fell directly. The city that was originally defended became an isolated city, and failure was almost a foregone conclusion.
Of course, the more important thing is that Jiang Wei is no match for Guo Hao in a head-on battle. Once a limit is exceeded, the battle line is stretched out, and Jiang Wei's chances of winning become lower.
When Jiang Wei was besieged, defeat was almost a hundred percent certain.
This is just a deduction. They are able to refuse to surrender until death. If it were real, the people would have lost their morale and failed completely.
After realizing this, Jiang Wei gave up on defending and led his troops in a desperate charge towards Guo Hao, which ended in a flash of light.
"The last struggle was somewhat interesting! Apart from that, it was almost played around with!" Bai Qi made a fair comment.
After the battle, almost all of Jiang Wei's 120,000 troops were killed or captured, while Guo Hao's casualties totaled less than 30,000.
Since the entire game was basically a siege, the gap was almost obvious.
Although the final desperate charge was considered to be quite interesting, Jiang Wei was facing Guo Hao, who was the most wait-and-see team. A few legion attacks directly sent Jiang Wei to the sky.
"Jiang Boyue's growth is remarkable. It won't be a disgrace to the Imperial Guards if we hand them over to him!" Huo Qu said as a matter of fact.
Jiang Wei's death was a bit unfair, but the gap in strength was there, so failure was inevitable.
Jiang Wei appeared in a trance. Guo Hao looked at Jiang Wei gently. Although he did not break through the limit, he was almost in his complete form.
"That's right! Get ready to take over the Imperial Guards! Take them to the Yuan family after spring." Guo Hao nodded and said.
"Thank you, General!" Jiang Wei clasped his fists and left the stage.
The people outside then realized that there was another meaning behind this exchange.
Many of those who did not sign up immediately regretted it, as they felt that being publicly criticized was meaningless, but now they are the ones who have become narrow-minded.
After Jiang Wei leaves, Zhong will appear in front of Guo Hao.
"General, please enlighten me!" Zhong Hui took a deep breath and said, "One state of land, one hundred thousand troops, can the plain be used?"
Guo Hao slightly shook his head. Zhong Hui wanted to compete with him in frontal command, but these 100,000 people did not seem to be Zhong Hui's limit. Did he want to leave some room?
But Guo Hao didn't care, frontal combat was also what he was good at.
Zhong Hui did not hesitate at all after landing. He saw Jiang Wei's failure, so he chose to attack with his entire army directly after landing, wanting to directly fight Guo Hao to decide the outcome.
"It's over, this one died even faster, not as good as Jiang Boyao!"
Han Xin shook his head. When the two armies met, the fatal attack that Zhong Hui had prepared was over before it could be launched.
Guo Hao quickly integrated the local forces and directly compressed Zhong Hui's forces in the front.
The moment he realized that the pressure in front of Zhong Hui was weak, Guo Hao directly led his army forward. The fierce military force did not hold back at all, and almost like a tiger out of a cage, it attacked Zhong Hui's army in front of it.
The military forces began to squeeze Guo Hao, and Zhong Hui's battle line collapsed directly. No matter what Zhong Hui had in mind, it was shattered by the overwhelming force of the army.
Even if he had not accumulated enough manpower and momentum, Guo Hao still had the fighting power to overwhelm the opponent.
Zhong Hui wanted so much to make a decisive kill in the late game that he never got the chance he wanted and was directly crushed into dust.
"The gap in basic skills was too big. Zhong Shiji put all his focus on his ultimate move. As a result, he failed to withstand the pressure from the general and was completely powerless to recover after the entire line collapsed!"
Zhuge Liang sighed. He originally thought that he might have a chance to compete with Guo Hao, but just by looking at the speed at which Guo Hao crushed Zhong Hui to death, he knew that he definitely had no chance to use the Eight Diagrams Formation to its full potential.
Looking at Zhong Hui who was a little unwilling, Guo Hao waved his hand and materialized the battlefield once again!
"I'll give you a chance! Let me see your killer move!"
Zhong Hui was not annoyed when he heard this. He took a deep breath, exerted his talent to the fullest, then deployed his troops in advance and transformed them into the ultimate Xuanxiang army formation.
"This military formation? The one by Ju Su?"
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Zhong Hui could rely on his legion talent and the Xuanxiang military formation to forcibly create the same effect as Ju Shou and Xuan Xiang.
"Not only that, it seems to have the effect of shattering the clouds. Can Zhong Shiji do this?" Jiang Wei was a little shocked. Why did he feel that Zhong Shiji was much stronger than him?
"I'm not as good as him!" Jiang Wei sighed.
"Bo Yue, don't underestimate yourself!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.
"His deployment is too slow. If it could be half as fast, he could control an entire army on his own. Unfortunately, it's not fast enough!"
"It's a good idea to use soldiers to assist in command, but it's a pity that yours is too slow and too weak!"
After watching Zhong Hui's development, Guo Hao was amused. If this thing was a small trouble for other people, it was not a trouble at all for him.
Guo Hao did not bully Zhong Hui either. He simply sacrificed a sun, just like he did before.
Zhong Hui, who had initiated his own decisive attack, died even more cleanly and efficiently than before.
If Zhong Hui strengthened the elite talent effects and physical fitness of the soldiers, then Guo Hao directly strengthened the soldiers' attack power and defense power.
When the two sides faced off head-on, Zhong Hui lost even more miserably than last time.
"It's a good direction, but there is no need to imitate others. You should look for the effect of your own talent. After all, it is Ju Su's spiritual talent!" Guo Hao briefly commented on Zhong Hui's operation.
Zhong Hui's idea was good, but the problem was that if this idea was given to Ju Shou it would indeed be an improvement, but when it was applied to Zhong Hui it had the effect of drawing a tiger but ended up drawing a dog instead of a tiger.
"What do you think?" Chen Xi, who had been watching the show, looked at Huangfu Song and Guo Jia.
"Hehe, your military tactics are consistent. You use a force stronger than the opponent's to directly crush the opponent!" Huangfu Song laughed twice.
"Using the strong to bully the weak is what it is all about!" Chen Xi spread his hands. Isn't the art of war all about using the strong to bully the weak and using the majority to defeat the minority?
Huangfu Song did not refute. Just as Chen Xi said, this was the essence of the art of war.
The purpose of command is to maximize the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, to defeat the minority with the majority in local areas, and to use the strong to bully the weak in key places.
What Guo Hao is demonstrating now is one of the essences of the art of war. As long as our side is stronger than the enemy at every point in the battle, victory is inevitable.
"What do you think the general can do?" Chen Xi asked casually.
"Let the entire army gather their internal energy!" Huangfu Song said this with a solemn expression. He knew this, but he still wanted to fight Guo Hao.
Because all unreasonable things are very reasonable when applied to the God of War.
At least the whole army's internal energy has been strengthened, so Huangfu Song still has the strength to fight.
Like Bai Qi's secured victory, no matter how much Huangfu Song struggled, he had no chance of winning until he was able to fight back and secure the victory.
But fighting against Guo Hao, at least he still has a glimmer of hope.
However, if Han Xin heard what Huangfu Song said, he would only sneer twice and then say that Huangfu Song knows nothing about military strategy.
The reason why they recognized Guo Hao as the God of War was because of this ability of Guo Hao.
When several small groups with internal energy leaving their bodies make targeted breakthroughs on your front line, you will understand what it means that supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny.
If Bai Qi is a military god in the early and middle stages, he is good at strangling the opponent in the cradle.
Then Han Xin is the military god in the early and late stages. The more troops he has, the better. As long as the scale of his troops is larger, the stronger he will be, and any miscellaneous soldiers or elite soldiers will not be a problem for him.
Then Guo Hao is a pure late-stage military god. The formation of internal Qi of the entire army is just a start. What if the internal Qi of the entire army leaves the body?
In other words, if Guo Hao can get some advantage from war game simulation, he can easily increase the combat effectiveness of any empire or even kingdom.
Especially with the existing empire as the foundation, it is almost invincible. Even Han Xin himself had to admit in his private simulation that he could not defeat Guo Hao based on the current Han Empire.
After Zhong Hui left the stage, Li Shimin came on stage.
Unlike his previous ignorance, Li Shimin's talent was fully developed during the time he spent outside, like a dusty sword.
If Lu Meng still dared to use the ability of a half-baked military god to deal with him, he would definitely let Lu Meng know what it means to be in a desperate situation.
However, Lu Meng no longer relies on the ability to imitate the god of war, but relies on himself, which leads to a completely different situation now.
If we really fight against the current Li Shimin, it is still unclear who will win.
Looking at this Heavenly Khan in history, Guo Hao was also filled with emotion. The Qin Emperor and Han Wudi were the past, while the Tang Emperor and Song Emperor were the future. It was not known whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that they all appeared in this era.
Through his intelligence channels, not only Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin were born, but also Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang and others were born one after another, and this era became more and more chaotic.
But he has gotten used to it. He has long been used to the chaotic timeline and so on.
After the young Li Shimin entered the battlefield, he was familiar with the situation, and in his youthful vigor, he did not consider the consequences of failure at all.
Anyway, the opponent is the great general of the dynasty, so if I lose, I lose. Li Shimin is a tough guy, so let me lose happily.
Nothing to say, reckless!
I, Li Shimin, love military strategies. As long as I survive, I can always move forward.
Li Shimin chose the correct tactics and the most courageous attitude, and led an army of 100,000 to rush directly towards Guo Hao.
A hundred thousand troops are rushing past. There is no need for any operation. We just need to show our strongest side and fight head-on. Let's give it a try.
Then the immature Li Er was crushed to death by Guo Hao.
There is nothing to say. You are braver, but I am braver. You are fiercer, but I am fiercer. Guo Hao used the same decisive military strategy to crush Li Shimin.
At first, Guo Hao thought that it was a trap to lure the enemy deeper into his territory, and thought that it did not fit in with Li Shimin's personality. However, after Guo Hao sent Li Shimin away with a halberd, he finally realized what was going on.
