"Next to the military platform, there is a row of small chess pieces, carved into cavalry, infantry, archers, etc. Now you are divided into two groups, representing two completely different camps, one attacking and the other defending. Next, you will demonstrate how to attack and defend the town in front of me, on the military platform. ”

Isn't this just for them to move the strategies and plans in the art of war book to the military platform for practice!

The eyes of all the candidates are shining with a different brilliance.

In their previous cognition, the palace examination is nothing more than a mock exam, just playing with knives, guns, sticks and swords, showing their skills, even if they are appreciated by the emperor, what is appreciated is only their skills, not their talents.

This kind of exam makes some candidates who specialize in the art of war and have average skills, but have to take the exam, very helpless.

In everyone's cognition, as long as the martial arts are not good, they are not worthy of passing the exam, let alone becoming a general, a military advisor, and fiddling with the art of war on the battlefield!

On the battlefield, do you only need generals and soldiers who can go on a rampage, and you don't need military advisors who plan to deploy formations?

The answer, naturally, is yes!

Fighting a war requires sufficient skills, and even more so, meticulous thinking and planning to arrange troops. The martial arts candidates who can pass the examination and participate in the palace examination all have a foundation in martial arts, and in this case, Emperor Zhongzhou naturally feels that there is no need for more review in martial arts.

What she wants to review is their brains, whether they have the qualifications to become a general of a country!

"Your Majesty, are you letting us control the army and defend the land ourselves?

One of the candidates couldn't help but speak, his eyes flashed with excitement, "The arrangement of the troops, the direction of the march, it is all up to us to decide?" ”

"Yes, it's up to you to decide, even who is the general, who is the commander, who is the centurion, and even the assault creeps, it's all up to you."

Emperor Zhongzhou said with a smile, "Each soldier chess piece represents a hundred soldiers, and there are 100,000 soldiers on each side, the left side attacks first, and the right side defends." You have half an hour to prepare, and after half an hour, I want to see how you perform. ”

Half an hour! That's a bit quick!

Knowing that the time was in a hurry, the candidates didn't care to say more, and the curtain of isolation was temporarily hung in the middle of the military platform, and the candidates on both sides stood on one side of the military platform, holding chess pieces in their hands, arguing with red faces.

"Since it is a town guard, the towns on this side need to send troops to guard it to prevent the other party from finding weak points to break through!"

"We only have 100,000 soldiers, and every town is released, isn't the army scattered? No, if you want me to say, just hoard them all in one place, where the other side attacks, we will send troops to support! ”

"It's up to you how you arrange it."

Mo Yan's voice rang out among the nervous candidates, "Even if I give me ten soldiers, I can defend a city." ”

"Arrogance!"

"Don't be funny!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Hehe, the dog thing from the back door."

The other candidates immediately burst out laughing, and there was obvious disdain in the laughter.

They all faintly heard that yesterday, Xiao Shizi and His Majesty the Emperor begged for grace to bring a few people who had not participated in the Spring Festival and the Hui Examination to participate in the palace examination directly.
