Overview

Le Loi coordinates three separated forces to cut supply routes and take the strategically important city of Nghe An. Secure the city’s Monument, then bring the campaign’s decisive field battle to General Wang Tong.

Player approach

A Three-Pronged Attack rewards a large economy and a central army that breaks the enemy alliance network in sequence. Secure the exposed eastern base and prevent supplies reaching Wang Tong while targeting the first faction.

Step-by-step plan

Keep Villagers producing until the economy is large enough to support the three fronts, and add a small defense for the eastern base before sending the main army toward Lui Sheng. Use Trebuchets to remove his buildings while Rattan Archers and cavalry screen the siege. Cut the routes that would send supplies to Wang Tong, then choose Ai Lao or Wang Tong as the next target based on the map. Finish by assembling a broad force for Nghe An rather than attacking with scattered groups.

Risks and adjustments

Stone is limited, so spend it on the defensive positions that protect valuable Villagers and routes. Do not overextend the central army before the economy can replace losses, and watch for supply deliveries that could strengthen the next opponent.
