Chapter 149 Ying Zheng rejected your face and slapped himself
"Okay, these are just small matters. If you have any other needs, just let me know."

Gongshu Chou shook his head and said, "These are all we have for now. We can only take things one step at a time for the rest."

In the spacious workshop, Gongsun Ce had flames rising from his left hand and a gentle breeze blowing from his right hand after a whole sleepless day.

The bronze array plate has basically taken shape. Mountains, rivers, plants, city buildings gradually emerge on the plate, lifelike, as if it is a miniature world.

The mountains and rivers are undulating and the vegetation is lush.

The city is majestic and the buildings are exquisite.

The bronze soldiers standing on the formation plate are either holding weapons or riding horses.

Two control panels stood quietly on both sides of the array.

Gongsun Ce gently pressed the button to change the landscape, and the landscape on the array disk changed accordingly.

The original hill gradually disappeared under control and was replaced by a flat land.

Press it again, and the outline of the city begins to blur, and a winding river gradually appears.

Gongsun Ce looked at the changes before his eyes, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

Gongshu Chou also looked at the formation in front of him with admiration, and he began to feel pleased in his heart: This is worthy of being my, Gongshu Chou’s, masterpiece.

However, Gongsun Ce has not yet finished testing the formation plate.

Press the button on the panel to control the bronze man again, and the bronze soldier begins to move slowly.

Some of them were marching in formation, while others were on guard in place, like a well-trained army.

Gongsun Ce's fingers danced lightly on the control panel, and the soldiers' movements changed accordingly.

Then, Gongsun Ce pressed another button. Suddenly, the bronze soldiers began to swing their weapons, and some even drew their bows and shot arrows, with smooth movements.

Then, Gongsun Ce pressed one of the few buttons to control the weather - light rain.

A light drizzle began to fall throughout the formation.

It's relatively simple to deal with rain, just equip a few small water guns.

But the rest of the weather is difficult. For example, on a sunny day, a wooden spoon filled with a few pieces of charcoal will appear above the array. There is high temperature, but no light.

The buttons for controlling the weather are: showers, light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, rainstorm, sunny, and cloudy.

As for the rest of the weather, Gongsun Ce was still thinking about how to simulate it.

However, when Gongsun Ce looked at the formation in front of him, a surge of joy still surged in his heart. A cross-era war simulator was born in his hands.

At this moment, he was almost satisfied with this bronze array plate.

Gongsun Ce looked at Gongshu Chou and asked, "Would you like to play a round?"

Gongshu Chou nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity for me to try out this masterpiece."

Under their control, the bronze soldiers began to conduct more complex tactical maneuvers.

They either charged into battle, or defended the city, or cooperated with each other, or fought alone.

The entire bronze array plate instantly turned into a miniature battlefield.

But soon, Gongshu Chou was defeated, after all, he was not familiar with military tactics.

Gongsun Ce had played some war-themed web games after all. Although he was not very good at it, he was still good enough to crush Gongshu Chou.

Gongshu Chou could not help but exclaim, "General Gongsun is a master at using troops. I admire him."

Gongsun Ce shrugged and said, "My ability to command troops is not as good as that of an average captain, but you and I are not good at commanding troops, so you think I am a master at commanding troops.

Well, now that it is completed, I should take it back to Xianyang.

Guigu Zongheng will be his first user, and those who are interested can come and watch."

When Gongshu Chou heard that the first user was Guiguzi Zongheng, he immediately became interested.

Although the contemporary Guiguzi Zongheng is not known for his godly military skills, since they are able to learn from Guiguzi, their ability to command troops must be strong.

Gongshu Chou nodded, "Okay, I will definitely go to watch the ceremony."

Ying Zheng was handling government affairs in Zhangtai Palace as usual, when suddenly Zhao Gao came to report, "Your Majesty, General Gongsun is outside the palace with a very strange thing.

Moreover, the Grand Commandant Gongsun ordered me to come and report, saying: "Your Majesty, please go and have a look."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stood up and walked out of the palace.

Gai Nie, who was beside Ying Zheng, immediately followed, and Zhao Gao, seeing this, led the way in front.

Although it is said to be outside the palace, it is actually just the square outside Zhangtai Palace, not outside Xianyang Palace.

Therefore, as soon as Ying Zheng walked out of the gate, he saw Gongsun Ce observing the bronze formation plate not far away.

Ying Zheng walked closer and saw clearly what was on the array plate, then quickly walked to Gongsun Ce's side.

"Sir, what is this?"

Gongsun Ce pointed to the bronze array and began to introduce, "This is the Baidi Chessboard, which can simulate real wars.

A Zheng, look, these mountains, rivers, plants, and high walls of the city can all be simulated.

There are also various types of soldiers and buttons to control the weather, which is enough to simulate a nearly real war."

Ying Zheng's breathing became heavier unconsciously. He knew the significance of this kind of thing. It was comparable to a divine weapon, and it was simply a national treasure. Now there are actually simple sand tables, but the sophistication of simple sand tables is far inferior to the bronze array in front of Ying Zheng.

Not to mention, the terrain on the bronze array is more vivid and can be easily changed.

The bronze figures can move freely, and even bleed when stabbed in the heart by weapons, and their palms and foreheads will sweat.

It can be said that as long as the problem of the weather being unable to be fully simulated can be solved, this Baidi chessboard of all living beings can be said to be consistent with reality.

Ying Zheng suppressed his shock and asked Gongsun Ce whether he could mass produce the "artifact" in front of him. "Mr. Gongsun, can this artifact be mass produced?"

Gongsun Ce shook his head. "Making one is already extremely difficult, let alone mass production. A Zheng, don't think too much."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, appearing calm on the surface but feeling extremely regretful in his heart.

Gongsun Ce waved his hand at Gai Nie and said, "Come on, come on, give it a try. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this will be the battlefield where you and Wei Zhuang will decide the winner."

Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie stood on both sides of the bronze array, each with a bronze figure as a team of a thousand people, and started the battle.

At the beginning of the battle, Gongsun Ce implemented the strategy of dividing the troops, dividing the 10,000 soldiers into five groups, each with 2,000 people, and deploying them in the five elements formation.

Gongsun Ce knew that Gai Nie had good military tactics but no practical experience, so he dispersed his forces to lure the enemy.

Seeing this, Gai Nie sneered and dispersed his troops to deal with Gongsun Ce's attack.

Gongsun Ce saw that his plan worked, so he ordered each unit to attack in turns to distract Gai Nie.

For a moment, the bronze array plate was filled with the flashes of swords and the positions of the bronze figures kept changing.

Although Gai Nie was a man of great strategy, he had to deal with Gongsun Ce's clever layout.

However, Gai Nie is well versed in military tactics, so how could he admit defeat so easily?
He took advantage of the fact that Gongsun Ce's forces were scattered and suddenly launched a counterattack, leading his elite troops to attack Gongsun Ce's central army.

Gongsun Ce was caught off guard and had to fight back hastily. The two armies fought fiercely, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Gongsun Ce knew that the situation was not good, so he thought quickly and ordered the remaining troops to assemble quickly to form a solid line of defense.

At the same time, he controlled two thousand elite soldiers and went around the enemy's rear, intending to cut off Gai Nie's retreat.

Gai Nie realized Gongsun Ce's intention and immediately dispatched troops to strengthen the defense in the rear.

The two armies were once again in a stalemate, and the situation on the bronze array plate became increasingly complicated.

Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie fought back and forth, each using clever strategies, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce suddenly discovered that Gai Nie's left wing was relatively weak. He immediately seized this flaw and ordered the entire army to attack the left wing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gai Nie hurriedly dispatched troops to reinforce, but it was already a drop in the bucket.

Gongsun Ce took the opportunity to launch a general attack. The two bronze men on Gongsun Ce's side drew their bows and shot arrows. The bronze arrows hit the two bronze men in an instant.

The moment the bronze man was hit by the bronze arrow, clear water burst out of his heart.

The exquisiteness of the bronze array became more and more apparent, and Ying Zheng, who was watching from the side, was fascinated by it.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Gai Nie admitted defeat directly, "Tong Ming's strategy is far better than mine. I admit defeat."

Hearing Gai Nie's words, Gongsun Ce frowned, "It's still a little bit short, it doesn't reflect the gap between the soldiers of both sides."

The gap between archers, shieldmen, swordsmen and other types of soldiers was not shown, nor were the differences in physical fitness and discipline between the soldiers.

Gongsun Ce felt that the Baidi Chessboard was still a little lacking and needed a lot of improvement.

As the competition between the two ended, Ying Zheng was eager to try.

"Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Gai, why don't you let me try too."

With Gongsun Ce around, Ying Zheng would not call himself "I" or "the widower", but would call himself "I".

Gongsun Ce and Gai Nie were silent for a moment. Gongsun Ce felt that he should let Ying Zheng understand one thing - people are not omnipotent.

Gongsun Ce decisively made way and let Ying Zheng take over his position of control.

As for Gai Nie, he was in a state where he wanted to escape but couldn't.

A bunch of palace servants were watching, and Gai Nie wanted to save some face for Ying Zheng, but it was obvious that Ying Zheng rejected the face offered by Gai Nie and slapped himself hard.

After a simple massacre, Ying Zheng's face was frozen.

（*/＼*）→(ω)
This is probably what happened, and Ying Zheng suffered a great blow.

So Ying Zheng asked a very heart-wrenching question, "Mr. Gongsun, if it were me, how many soldiers could I lead at most?"

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and gave an answer, "It depends on who the deputy general next to you, A Zheng, is."

Ying Zheng understood what Gongsun Ce meant. Gongsun Ce was simply saying that his ability to lead troops was not good, but Ying Zheng decided to struggle.

"How about General Wang Jian be my deputy general?"

Gongsun Ce said without hesitation, "The more the better."

"Then if Meng Tian and Li Xin are my deputy generals respectively, how many troops can I lead?"

"At present, Meng Tian has at least 50,000 troops, and Li Xin has 30,000 troops, no more.

However, the two generals are still young and have a promising future. As for whether they can reach the level of General Wang Jian, it is still unknown. "

Ying Zheng understood it completely. He simply stopped making trouble for himself and began to study the bronze array plate in front of him.
