Although Faerun has a long history, it really doesn't have any textbooks to show for tactics and strategies.

There is no way. The history of this world belongs to dragons and giants in the first half, and the elves are glorious in the middle. In the last few thousand years, humans have slowly stepped onto the stage of history. During this period, several glorious human civilizations have appeared, either in the spiritual technology tree or the magic technology tree. Like the Netheril Empire, even floating cities have been selected. What kind of strategy and tactics are there? Just drive the floating city to the capital of others, use a close-up tactic, and bombard with magic.

The most important thing is that Faerun's high magic characteristics have created extremely powerful personal forces, some monsters are extremely powerful, and dragons are flying all over the sky. Most civilizations belong to isolated city-state civilizations - Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep are the most typical ones.

Many strategies are carried out around personal force, and rarely use troops to fight, so naturally no one pays attention to it.

This does not mean that strategy and tactics are useless. Didn't you see that the number one battle maniac among the gods, the god of war Tempus, secretly cultivated an illegitimate daughter, the Red Knight, and took advantage of the turmoil among the gods last year to directly promote her to his subordinate god, in charge of the strategy priesthood, probably because he saw the prospects in it.

In terms of strategy and tactics, Zhang You's ancestors played the most clearly. He was forced by Zhang's father to read many ancient books on this subject. A set of seven martial arts books includes seven military strategies - "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "The Art of War by Wu Zi", "Six Strategies", "The Sima Method", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liaozi", and "Questions and Answers by Li Weigong".

Just reading is one thing, and memorizing is another, especially the obscure ancient texts.

For a moment, Gavin could only remember the "running away is the best strategy" in the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

You only regret not having read enough books when you need them.

The ancients did not deceive me. If I had known this day, I would have memorized the seven martial arts books thoroughly.

Gavin is not someone who gives up easily. After delivering Zalanda's summons to the captains of the Nott militia, he hurried back to the room, locked the doors and windows, set up a simple alarm trap, put on his clothes, held a one-handed sword, and got into bed. In a few seconds, he entered a trance.

This is a special ability given to Gavin by the silver elf blood flowing in his body, a trance unique to the elves.

Trance is a common language term, and the elves prefer to call it meditation, a semi-conscious deep meditation. Four hours of deep meditation can match the eight hours of good sleep of normal humans. This is also the reason why the elves are immune to sleep magic. Unless they are in a coma, they generally do not fall asleep.

Whether standing, lying, or sitting, you can enter a trance state, but in terms of effect, the best is to lie on a comfortable bed. After all, once you enter a trance, your body will also enter a relaxed state.

The trance state is very mysterious. Not only can you feel the situation of your body and the surrounding four or five meters, but your consciousness is also highly active, especially the memories in your mind, like movie clips, rolling out from time to time, allowing you to re-taste it.

This is why the elves have a lifespan of seven or eight centuries, but still have a clear memory of things that happened several centuries ago, because they always dig deep into their memories in deep meditation.

It's just that the specific memory dug out is not completely controlled by Gavin, which is somewhat related to dreams, but not completely.

Zhang You II firmly believes in the existence of psychic abilities because he occasionally enters a trance state in deep sleep.

According to the only speculation of Zhang You II, the more useful method is to think about something during the day and dream at night.

Before going to bed, repeatedly strengthen your memory of a certain thing. After entering a trance, the things that emerge in your mind are most likely related to it. Of course, it may also be a real dream, and all kinds of strange things will come out.

A dreamless night.

Gavin failed to turn out various ancient books on military strategies, but he turned out hundreds of Tang and Song poems. It was useless in Faerun. If it was translated into common language, it would completely lose the poetic mood, and the natives of Faerun could not appreciate it at all.

When Gavin ended his trance, it was just dawn.

But someone got up earlier than him. Zalanda had already led a group of captains of the Nott militia to run around and arrange the troops. It was unknown whether they had not slept all night or had just taken a nap.

Compared with them, Gavin was still a little too relaxed.

Zalanda and his men fully implemented the concept of racing against time. The earlier they withdrew from Nott Castle, the less variables there would be.

Lure the enemy into the trap.

The most difficult thing to implement this tactic is not how to invite the enemy in, but to convince your own people to accept this bold and dangerous plan.

If this plan is implemented by Luo Ang, don't even think about it, it will definitely not succeed, because before that, your own people have done it first.

If Zalanda implements it, it will not be a problem at all in Nott Castle.

Gavin dared to propose this plan to Zalanda yesterday, based on this cognition.

"Today, we are not fighting for Tesser, the Nott family, or Zalanda, but for ourselves. Victory will definitely belong to us!" Zalanda, dressed in military uniform, sat on his warhorse, put down his armor, raised his sword high, and was full of fighting spirit.

"Victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Victory will definitely belong to us!!"

"Victory will definitely belong to us!!!"

The fighting spirit of the entire Nott Castle was ignited by Zalanda's few words.

"Open the city gate!" Zalanda ordered again.

With a creaking sound, the heavy city gate of Nott City slowly opened, like a monster opening its mouth, waiting for its prey to come to the door.

"Haka... Gua..." - Goblin "What's going on?"

"*Sahara..." - Goblin "I don't know either!"

"Gaharaah..." - Goblin "Charge, humans are running away!"

The sudden reaction of Nott City caused a commotion among the goblin tribes outside the city. A sharp and piercing goblin noise was heard, discussing what exactly was going on with the abnormal behavior of humans, but with their poor IQ, they basically couldn't come up with a decent conclusion.

When a green-skinned dwarf, waving his crude weapon, rushed towards the gate of Nott City, the other goblins did not need the encouragement of the big goblin behind him, and they joined the charge with a roar.

There is a reason why goblins are nicknamed cannon fodder fools. Their behavior at this moment fully explains the origin of the word fool.

Especially when the goblins running in the front rushed into the city gate, more goblins behind were encouraged and followed suit.

In their concept, as long as they can rush into the gate of humans, humans are two-legged sheep to be slaughtered, even if they are nearly twice as tall and strong as them, they can only let them slaughter them.
