Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu looked intently and was startled.

I saw that the map of Shanxi that I drew a few days ago happened to be placed on a small table, and the table was moved under Wu Juren's window, probably for lighting.

Zhu Shou and Liu eunuch are occupying one side, playing war chess deduction.

Looking at the stack of manuscripts in front of the two of them, there is even an abacus under their feet for calculation.

Seeing that the two of them are calculating and throwing dice, they are familiar with the rules of the whole chess game.

The rules of war chess games are very important to the ancients. In addition to requiring a lot of calculations, there are also conceptual differences.According to Su Mu's thinking, if this kid surnamed Zhu wants to play well, it will take ten and a half months.

Seeing how well he walked, Su Mu felt that he underestimated their master and servant.

But being entangled by them like this, Su Mu was still a little annoyed.

Going forward, he shouted: "Why are you here again? Hurry up and clear the table, I still have to write a manuscript!" After finally finding some code words, I was about to write a few more chapters while my hands were hot.

While talking, looking down at the chess game, Su Mu burst out laughing.

He has played the war chess game Su Mu on the computer before, and he has some experience. The basic game situation can still be understood.

What Zhu Shou and Liu Daban were doing was the Song-Jin Taiyuan battle. He played the attacking side with red, holding a thousand Jurchen cavalry.

And Liu Ban plays the role of the defender, the Northern Song and Western Army.

Zhu Shou's cavalry relied on their superior maneuverability and strong attack power, constantly interspersed, divided, and tested, and used all their means.However, eunuch Liu had tens of thousands of soldiers, but he didn't go out of the city to fight in the field. He was huddled in more than a dozen cities and couldn't survive.

Bai kept his expression on for a long time, but the enemy didn't respond, which made Zhu Shou very depressed, and kept shouting: "Your infantry's combat effectiveness is low, and there is no problem in defending the city. But there is a saying in the art of war: don't defend a city without help. You stay here , When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, there is no need to fight this battle. And my cavalry troops can go around outside the city to supply supplies. It only takes two months, and you will starve to death.”

Su Mu nodded when he heard that, Zhu Shou's standard is not bad, he has reached the level of a military enthusiast.

Hearing Zhu Shou's scolding, Liu Ban smiled obsequiously and said, "Master, although this servant has not read many books, she knows how this battle was fought in history. Back then, Wanyan's silver trick was to use you With one move, the troops were spread out. Seeing that the enemy was weak, the Song army gathered heavy troops and tried to cut off one of its fingers. However, they didn't expect that the cavalry had high mobility and could be recovered when they were scattered. Instead, they formed a local advantage and beat the Song army to shame. Such a simple move was repeated over and over again, accumulating small victories into big victories, and killed the Western Army from the beginning to the end. In this case, the servants simply hid in the city to not be fooled by this."

"You eunuch, you also study?" Zhu Shou smiled bitterly: "But what's the matter with you hiding in the city, if you don't fight back, will you be defeated?"

Eunuch Liu said with a serious face: "This servant is an idiot, even if he goes out of the city, he can't beat the young master, so why come out to make trouble for himself, anyway, this servant is hiding in the city."

"You... shameless!" Zhu Shou was so angry at Liu Jin's scoundrel that his face turned red: "If you do this, what's the point of playing this game? Go out of the city and fight me!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Jin reluctantly transferred his troops out of the city to fight the future Emperor Zhengde. ,

It has to be said that Zhu Houzhao, who ranks third in military ability among the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty, is indeed talented in this. Although he is still young, his fighting style is extremely sharp.

After walking a few dozen steps, eunuch Liu ate up a thousand infantry and defeated a group of more than ten thousand people.

Su Mu found it interesting, so he lifted a chair and sat aside.

Zhu Houzhao: "Zi Qiao, Liu Ban is too stupid as an eunuch, and the Western Army Group in the Northern Song Dynasty is really huge, but he can't control it. You can try it too. Doesn't Liu Ban like to die guarding, Xihe of Wanglan, Taiyuan Let the army be handed over to him, anyway, it's just a companion. You control the Huanqing army!"

Su Mu: "Okay, let's play with you!"

He picked up the dice and threw a four.In other words, the total number of troops he can control this round is four units.The Song army used 100 people as a capital, and the leader was called Dutou.The most famous Dutou in history is Wusong Wudutou who beat the tiger.

What Zhu Houzhao threw out was six or six hundred cavalry who came quickly from all directions on the battlefield.

Because the two armies are still far apart and have no contact, there is no need to throw dice.

Otherwise, each person can throw three dice in a row in each round: one for marching, one for firing, and one for casualties.

After another two days of marching separately, the troops finally came into contact with each other, and the battle became fierce, and the calculations were very complicated.

Casualties of the infantry units controlled by the participants are determined by rolling dice. The formula for calculating the casualty rate when receiving ordinary firepower in each round is "20% multiplied by (1 + number of dice rolled) = b". It is "40% multiplied by (1 + number of dice rolled) = d".The resulting figure is the death toll.After the decimal point, it is rounded up. If it is less than five, it will be considered injured, and if it is higher than or equal to five, it will be considered dead.

As for the different offensive and defensive powers of heavy armored infantry and cavalry, different formulas have also been designed.

For example, the casualty formula for heavy armored infantry is "the armor thickness of the bombarded part (100 + roll number) = a", when a is less than or equal to 1, it is a breakdown.When it is greater than 1, it means that the armor surface cannot be penetrated.The armor thickness is based on real data, and the unit is mm.After the frontal breakdown, it loses combat effectiveness.

This has already involved the basic four arithmetic operations.

While playing, the two quickly calculated their abacus and recorded it on paper, having a great time.

The infantry was really miserable during the Cold Weapons War. Even including lunch time, Su Mu played with Zhu Houzhao and Eunuch Liu for about four hours, and the result was tragic.Not to mention Eunuch Liu, it was just a display anyway, Su Mu was constantly accumulating troops, and was constantly being defeated under the highly mobile and flexible tactics of the future Emperor Zhengde.

Soon, the entire Huanqing Army was beaten to ashes, and more than 3 soldiers and horses became dead souls.

"Hey, so this is the real war!" At this time, Wu Ju's surprised voice came from the room: "At first, I thought it was just an ordinary game player, which had nothing to do with the real battlefield. But if you look carefully, Think about it, Su Mu, the trick you designed takes into account the maneuverability, morale, attack power, casualty rate, and terrain factors of the army, and expresses it in numbers. Isn’t this the real battle on the battlefield? Mr. Zhu is also a famous general Charming, with just over a thousand people, they managed to eat more than 3 horses in just over ten days, hey..."

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, imitating Su Mu's previous appearance, and shouted: "Look at the black hole ahead, it must be the thief's lair, wait for me to kill him, and kill him cleanly!"

This Beijing opera accent, which was learned from Su Mu, seemed extremely arrogant.

Seeing the defeated Northern Song and Western Army on the map, the future military genius, and the future Zhengde Emperor are impassioned, looking forward to being a hero, and they are very arrogant.

Su Mu is also annoyed, after all, he is just a literati at heart, and he has no talent at all for this kind of warfare.It was an ugly death when he met this yellow-haired boy who was a bandit general.

Looking at the situation in front of him, the enemy is all cavalry, and his own infantry moves slowly, and it is difficult to assemble, and they are already powerless to turn the tables.

Liu Daban couldn't stop applauding: "Young master is really amazing, you are really crushing, I admire you, I admire you!"

But he didn't want Zhu Houzhao's smug laugh to anger Wu Juren in the room.

An angry shout came: "Barbarians, do you see me as a Chinese without evil?"

These words were already on the line, and Su Mu finally came to his senses, the Red Army commanded by Zhu Xiaozi was the Jurchen cavalry of the Jin Dynasty.

It was just a game, but in the eyes of Wu Juren, it has become a war between China and foreigners. As for it?

Zhu Houzhao was also taken aback, and couldn't help but look back at the window: "Such a complicated calculation, such a chaotic situation, Ziqiao's game can be said to have restored the real battlefield to a high degree, and you, an old man, can understand it?"

The inside is still cursing: "What's the difficulty? Numeracy is the basic profession of my Confucian disciples. The barbarians are rampant. If you don't kill me today, you will not be a human being. I will command Qin Fengjun."

Then, there was a crisp sound of dice in the room: "It's a nine, three vertical and twelve horizontal in the southwest corner, four vertical and seven horizontal, six vertical and nine horizontal... the nine capitals march forward separately."

"Sure enough, the old man understands. However, the Qin Feng army you command is far away in Hanoi, and there are still thousands of miles to go to the Taiyuan battlefield. I have already eaten them up before they reach the ground." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "So, you This command does not make sense in the art of war."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Juren's impassioned voice sounded in the room: "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, even if you are close to death. However, I have been supporting scholars for a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, and the loyalty to death is in this day!"

He was in the game.

Su Mu and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, and they both said in their hearts: Crazy!

I have to admit that Wu Juren is better at this game than Su Mu. The main reason is that he is lucky, and he can throw bigger dice every time he throws them.

The number of troops dispatched in each round is large, the attack power is strong, and the battle damage is smaller than that of Su Mu.

However, the consequences of the lack of cavalry troops in the Northern Song Dynasty were serious. In the military chess deduction, no matter how lucky he was, he was still wiped out by Zhu Houzhao.

In the end, the old man was annoyed.You yelled sadly: "If you want to kill the thief, but you can't bring it back to heaven, what can you do, what can you do!" You threw a cup out of the window.

Seeing that it was getting late, the prince left proudly.

On the second day, the kid surnamed Zhu didn't come, and he didn't know if there was something wrong at home, but Su Mu got a rare peace.

Business as usual, morning run.

After lunch, I wrote another [-]-word manuscript. Seeing that it was getting late, I talked to Xiaodie and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a head protruding from a carriage on the side of the street. It was Guo Shuer: "Mr. Su, here, here."
