A Three-Pronged Attack central-army plan
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.
Overview
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.
Plan and execution
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 adaptation
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.
