Summer rolls in as your fleet makes its way to Lu Jiang commandery. You notice that as you cross halfway across towards the Central Plains that the weather is much easier than the sweltering climate of the Southlands during the season. You take a moment to close your eyes and smell the air. It has been a while since you returned to the region of your homeland. Perhaps if things go well, you might even be able to retake Xu Chang.

The beachhead of the enemy forces soon comes to your view. With Sun Ce having been forced to retreat from the Chang Jiang, he has only had a small amount of time to prepare defenses. Still, a number of barricades and enemy towers impede your march in to Lu Jiang and as they see your fleet, the enemy troops shore up to defend the shore.

Lu Bu raises his hand in the air, moving his hand to where the enemy lies. Balling his fingers to a wrist, he proclaims to the soldiers

“There lies my gateway to the Central Plains! Take the shore and my heavy cavalry will rule the mid lands once more!”

You prepare your forces. You have over a half of your troops remaining, but Sun Ce has lost more. How do you move your troops for the beachhead attack?

>Take the vanguard and the landing forces
>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground
>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

It is time!

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

We have crossbows and catapults

>>34401060
>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground

We need to maintain our troop levels for the possible sieges later on. Let the better cavalry commanders command the vanguard.

>>34401060
>>Take the vanguard and the landing forces

The General who Manifest Might need to be at the vanguard!

>>34401060
>Take the vanguard and the landing forces
Lets personally clear a way for Lu Bu's charge!

>>34401060
>>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground

We have fewer cavalry troops.

Let Lu Bu take the lead.

>>34401060
>>34401123

Changing to

>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground

because I don't want us to take vanguard with out siege forces.

>>34401060
>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken
We are the support group with our catapults, ships, and crossbows.

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

We built up our forces for siege and naval fights. Open field engagements are our weakness.

>>34401060
Take the vanguard and the landing force

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

>>34401060
>>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground.

We haven't trained our Calvary too much.

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

Let Zhang Liao have some of the glory for once.

>>34401060
>>34401177

Actually, changing my vote to take the support grou, firing up the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken. We have crossbows, not cavalry and spearmen. Zhang Liao can handle that.

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

BUT.

RELEASE GAO SHUN AND HIS CAVARLY TO LU BU's COMMAND.

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken
We have 3k crossbows. Let's use them.

>>34401060
>>34401123
>>34401153
Swapping back to my original choice.

>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

since it looks like that has enough support now.

We have 3k Crossbows right?

On the note of Sun Ce everybody, I believe we aren't sufficiently cohesive in our decision with him, I believe if he is captured alive, along with any of his family, Cheng Gong has the final decision.
This way there's no more need for arguing, and we can have someone far more experienced than us take the helm in the decision.

>>34401247
But lets say we duel Sun Ce and we get the option

>spare

>execute

with no Chen Gong around?

>>34401060
>>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

>>34401247

If hes captured alive, we have all the time we need to turn him to our side.

>>34401268

Then capture him alive so Cheng Gong can decide. It's much harder to capture someone alive anyway, so I doubt we'll get the dice rolls for that anyway.

>>34401060
Support

>>34401268
At that point there's little reason to kill him.
He has information on the enemies' positions, chain of command, supplies and troops.
And that isn't even factoring in converting him to our side.

>>34401060
>>Take the reserves and attack after the vanguard gains ground

LIKE WAVES UPON THE ROCKS!

>>34401333
>And that isn't even factoring in converting him to our side.

We are allied to liu biao. Converting him is pretty much impossible.

Good god, we are down to 6,500 soldiers already?

3000 crossbowmen and 1000 cavalry plus X amount to man our catapults and ballistas. We don't really have a infantry core anymore.

>>34401344
Our entire army lost close to 13 k soldiers to beat Sun Ce. He's a fucking monster.

>>34401342
Liu Biao, when he dies, will eventually most likely have Jing devolve into a civil war over succession, Sun Ce, on his own, will have no way to intervene and kill his father's killers on his own, with us he has the best chance.

>>34401344
Then we must recruit some in the enemy lands. I am sure that there are people who are not very happy about this false emperor

>>34401382
Yeah, our character would barely recognize that fact.

>>34401382
irrelevant since we'd be capturing him right now, with liu biao still alive and allied.

>>34401060
>Take the support group, firing upon the enemy from your ships until the beach is taken

I been reading the archives. Based Zhu Xing. Question, do we cap at 100 or do we can get above the 100 with items?

>>34401247

Sun Ce in a nutshell

>>34401461

In the ROTK games, stats cap naturally at 100. You can get above 100 with items, which is why Lu Bu has like 105 WAR in ROTK 10.

I'm guessing it's the same for this quest since Zhu Xing is already pushing 97 WAR with items.

>>34401423
>Barely recognise that fact
Aside from the fact we already have?
We've seen that several generals favour the other of Liu Biao's children, and some favour the man married to Lu Bu's daughter.

We aren't stupid, we're far above most others in intelligence, politics we have a downside on, but that doesn't mean we're ignorant.

>>34401444
Wrong, patience is what Sun Ce has had under Yuan Shu, patience is what he can have under us.

At any rate, >>34401247 is right, let us not argue, let Cheng Gong deal with Sun Ce.

>>34401344
Fuck me.

It time to do a support role for the rest of the campaign. We got to use archers and catapults.

We can't get more men on the way, we have to train them or else they die like mooks.

HIS NAME IS CHEN GONG HOLY SHIT

>>34401377
We were facing Sun Ce in their natural enviroment; the naval battle with bad dice rolls. That we weakened him so greatly is impressive.

Still, the remaining men will likely be elite troops so we can likely use them to help train up our fresh men faster. Still, our primary roll is over. Now we offer seige support and arrows so Lu Bu and the others can do their thing.

>>34401502
>patience is what he can have under us.

Yes, to backstab us and take the south.

Are you clinically retarded?

>>34401247
Fuck no. We gonna capture him. If needed, we execute him later.

Exactly never. You cefags are cancer.

>>34401576
IF we want more stat points, we better make the decision ourselves.

We the general.

>>34401576
>>34401592
Proof of that excuse being disproven or I'm gonna stick to having sun ce being executed after getting information.

nothing but deathw will stop his ambition.

>>34401592
You can't disprove that something won't happen. You can only prove that something will happen. The claim that Sun Ce would betray us has no basis in any of the facts. Its all metagaming the fact that everyone in this thread knows that Sun Ce formed wu and we are in what was wu territory. But the Sun Ce in this universe doesnt know that we pre-emptively stole the kingdom he was going to form.

Lu Bu sits in a char at the front of his ship, holding his halberd planted on the ground and looking at the beachhead confidently.

“Tell one of my generals to take the vanguard and breach the first defenses. Afterward, I shall lead my cavalry in and mop up the rest of the remnants of this pathetic army.”

Zhang Liao and Song Xian both ask for the vanguard, but in the end, it is Taishi Ci who is selected. In a report to Lu Bu, Taishi Ci proclaims, “I have been treated well in this army and have long served in support of your lordship during the campaign against the Shanyue. Yet, I have not repaid the kindness given to me nor have I committed a serviceable deed. Allow this humble general to take the lead.”

Impressed with Taishi Ci's words, Lu Bu gives him the command of the front. With a confident smile, Taishi Ci raises a sword in the air.

“The South has long been quiet and laid back in these times of war. Let us show our mettle in this battle, and show the the rest of the world that the men of South can be demons!”

With a loud cheer, Taishi Ci's forces advance. His frontal ships are bombarded by enemy arrows, but the front ships press on nonetheless. The first wave of troops make their land, but are eliminated and pushed back. The second wave of troops however manage to break through the enemy lines. Taishi Ci himself leads the troops but his command is halted by enemy fire as they take cover behind the barricades.

“Fire upon the enemy! Support our men through their march!” you yell as you move your ships in next and begin firing your bows and catapults upon the enemy.

>>34401592
Stated several times by Raian that Sun Ce's conquest of the south lands was due to his Charisma and his connections.

Stated several times by Raian the connections are dead, and Charisma with no name, no house, no troops and no grain behind it means next to nothing.

Using this information, one can easily deduce that if he joined us, not only would he have an impossible time converting anyone to his cause, but no one in the south lands would help him anyway.

>>34401578
Sun supporters really. Man is crazy at his prime.

Still, once we get back, maybe we should start the development of better warships? Maybe with a means to mount seige weaponry on them to have mobile weapon platforms? Or perhaps make them have bigger hulls for more food and soldiers or less prone to fire attacks.

We got to have a strong navy to keep cao cao, sun ce, and liu bei out of the south.

Your supporting fire comes to a tremendous asset. When the enemy barricades fall under your fire arrows and catapults, Taishi Ci charges in. Cheng Pu goes to meet Taishi Ci and they duel for thirty bouts before Cheng Pu is forced to be pushed back. Seeing the front lines beginning to waver under Taishi Ci's command, Lu Bu orders his men to begin landing as well.

>Continue support fire

Though the men under your command are eager to gain glory as well, with Song Xian even requesting that he lead the next group of soldiers in, you dissuade your soldiers the notion of the thought.

“We have obtained enough glory in the last battle. A hawk that rises too high will one day have its wings clipped and fall. We are serving an integral function in supporting our troops. Continue to fire upon the enemy and remove thoughts of glory hogging.”

You glance at Lingqi, remembering that she asked for you be more careful and she smiles in response to your consideration.

You and your men continue to rain down arrows upon the enemy. With your supporting fire, Taishi Ci manages to get enough coverage to charge in and take more land for your force. Lu Bu soon disembarks with his troops and with his halberd high in the air, he orders a monumental charge towards the enemy.

Despite the efforts of the enemy generals to hold the line, Lu Bu and his heavy cavalry are near unstoppable as they crash through the enemy forces. Along with you moving in closer and raining supporting fire upon the enemy, the opponent lines begin to crumble as they form a retreat by day's end.

“Crush them beneath us, do not let them escape!” Lu Bu commands.

That can mean two things.

If 1, then yes, it should be fine.
If 2, then we can expect ambushes, raiding, problems galore.

Though the enemy lines are broken and your forces swarm in, the pursuit of the enemy does not go well. The enemy generals Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu lead their light cavalry to harass and halt your armies. They make quick attacks and feints before quickly departing once again. This happens for a few days much to the frustration of your troops and any attempts to heavily damage the retreating forces are cut short.

Though you could have inflicted much more damage upon the enemy, taking the first landing point is at least a good start to conquering Lu Jiang. Your troops set up camp and begin making the next preparations

Lu Bu: 14,000 → 13,000
Zhang Liao: 7000
Zhu Xing: 6500

Sun Ce 7000 → 6000

As you make camp you think to yourself that the troops have done well so far and Taishi Ci has done a good service. Should you perhaps call for some celebrations before your troops move out?

>Call for a feast and celebration for your troops
>Send a small gift to Taishi Ci and congratulate him

You decide that it is too early to celebrate yet. Still, you send a gift of wine and congratulatory note to Taishi Ci for leading the vanguard.

“The General of the Left is indeed courageous and befitting of his title. Were it not for his prowess, the enemy camp may have not been taken. I long find it heartening that he joined our forces and have no doubts he will further commit greater deeds in the future.”

Taishi Ci sends you back a note of thanks, stating, “This humble general is beneath that of Generals Zhu Xing and Zhang Liao. I thank you nonetheless and hope to repay the favors given to me on that day at Jian Ye.” He begins to appreciate your sentiments.

After some reorganizing and you staying diligent for a week, the orders and time to march begin once again. Chen Gong warns that with the enemy light in numbers, they may attempt some unexpected attacks to achieve victory and tell everyone to remain on guard. He gives the plan to take Lu Jiang commandery one land by one and to isolate the city of Lu Jiang.

You and your forces arrive at a fort impeding your path and siege preparations are made.With your catapults and balista, you bombard the enemy fort for some time, but it still remains strong and unlikely to collapse from just ranged attacks. It seems Sun Ce made the fort a year before when Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, expecting your forces to attack once lords would become outraged at Yuan Shu. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai lead the defenses and remain diligent.

With little choice left, Lu Bu calls for the attack to begin.

>Lead your forces at the front of the attack
>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort
>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

And I need food, be back in 20 mins.

>>34403065
>>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

>>34403065
>>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

Weak on infantry and having few cavalry... This is the spot for us.

>>34403065
>>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

This is a perfect place for an ambush

>>34403065
>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

>>34403065
>>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

We have little to no infantry, our crossbowmen and siege weapons are our greatest assets.

>>34403065
>>Lead your forces at the front of the attack
We have rams and siege towers, we can make good use of them here.

I'd like to see someone mock up an older, bearded Lu Bu. The baby face of Lu Bu being posted is distracting.

>>34403065
maintain the flanks and secure your force

>>34403065
>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

>>34403065
>Lead your forces at the front of the attack

>>34403065

So what are we better suited for?

>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

or

>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

?

>>34403065
>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort
Land a boulder on one of Sun Ce's uncles and win a prize!

>>34403139
Neither. We need to use our towers and rams to help penetrate the defenses.

>>34403065
>>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

Play it safe

>>34403139

Flank securing need cavalry which we only have 1k.

Considering we have alot of crossbowmen and ranged siege.

We need to be the reserves in the centre.

>>34403065
>>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

>>34403152
Why don't we just lend our towers and rams to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao?

Do we even have enough infantrymen to man those towers and rams effectively?

>>34403065
>Stay in reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

>>34403173

We should, actually. While we command the ranged weapons and siege.

>>34403152
Why not offer the seige rams and towers to the other units? There is no reason for us to NOT share the seige, especially if the men wish to win,

>>34403173
Yes. Our crossbows aren't specialists, they can function as infantry if necessary.

>>34403065
>>34403154

Okay, anon. I'll trust you.

>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

>>34403065
>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

Throw Song Xian a bone if the opportunity presents itself. He's champing at the bit to get some glory. Let him lead a charge or duel a general if it comes up (unless its Sun Ce, he'd just one shot Song, killing our unknown general as revenge for killing his unknown general).

>>34403220
Wait, we killed a general?

>>34403220
>almost no cavalry
>taking a position that requires high mobility

>>34403220

Sun Ce's remaining generals are pretty tough, I actually want us to go in there to try to guarantee a kill or capture if an opportunity presents itself

Killing their known generals should break their morale.

>>34403065
>>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding the men, looking for weak spots on the fort

>Stay in the reserves and focus on commanding your men, looking for weak spots on the fort

Because we got a shit ton of bows, crossbows and catapults.

It our job to wear them down and provide support to lu bu.

BUT Chen gong said they may try to do some sneaky shit.

So secure the flanks.

>>34403189
I am fine with this. So long as we use all our seige or lend out what we don't use to the other generals. We are the Lu army's heavy seige naval unit. Once we find a weak point, we tell the others to get onto the seige tower and get past the wall.

>>34403298
FUCK ME. Change that vote to
>Maintain the flanks and secure your force

If the siege continues, we WIN. We like very close to our town, so the supply line is fine.

We can wait them out.

Defeating Sun Ce will end the war pretty much.

>>34403298

Not sure about securing flanks with our limited number of high mobility units, but we can act as a roadblock if necessary

But I am still convinced that stay in centre and rain projectiles to the enemy to be the wisest decision

>>34403288
Did he have a name?

>>34403365

Hang Ten

>>34403365

Something Dan, maybe Danny

>>34403298
Hmm... could we organize our cavalry into a fast response team while having the rest of the army focus on support? Basically make it appear as if we are tied up in the center with the siege equipment while we're actually focusing on looking out for ploys?

>>34403381

We can always ride with our cavalry to the flanks when the time is right

Thats the beauty of centre reserves

You request to take the reserves this time and to command men from the back. As it is your siege equipment after all, you think it is best you maintain them. Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Hou Cheng are commanded to be the ones to attack and direct from the front. Lu Bu smiles confidently seeing his troops arranged. Chen Gong however strokes his beard and looks at the enemy forces in a small perturbed state.

"...General Taishi Ci, guard the flanks of our forces. Set scouts and make certain we are not attack by a detachment force," Chen Gong orders.

The battle begins. You command your men to begin launching the catapults and ballistas at the enemy fort as the vanguard charges in. Ladders are set up and the rams begin hitting the gates. The defenders remain diligent as they push back ladders and destroy rams with large boulders from the high walls. The generals at the front attack fiercely and diligent as well however, and it is a wavering fight between both sides. Whenever you see a weak spot on the enemy walls, you order your troops to focus on that area for your allies to gain better ground.

A few days of fighting and casualties go high on both sides. The left side of the wall is taken and your troops continue to push.

However, a report calls that an enemy attack has come from your flank! You are informed that Sun Ce is leading a couple thousand of his light cavalry for a detached attack. Taishi Ci's defenses have allowed Sun Ce to not get in far, but you hear the enemy is making their best effort in pushing in and screaming shouts of "To death!" as if having given up their lives for Sun Ce's cause.

What do you do? You command the reserves and can either reinforce Taishi Ci or remain here and continue the siege.

>>34403887

>>34403887
Time to reinforce our fellow Taishi Ci.While we can have some one else keep the attacks firing like Gan Ning, we do not want Sun Ce to push any further in. Besides, I am sure Sun Ce would relish the chance to duel us.

>>34403937
Gao Shun is our cavalry general, Nimrod.

>>34403919

Gao Shun with us? then bring him in too

>>34403937
Think we should bring Gao Shun with us and let someone else handle the siege like Zhang Liao

>>34403953
No one else is suited for the task. We only have Gao Shun and Linqi left since Song Xian is in the vanguard.

Oh wait, we have Gan Ning.

>>34403937

Changing Gao Shun to Gan Ning, take Gao Shun with us.

>>34403984
Just leave the siege equipment to the forces staying at the siege, bring all our generals to this fight.

>>34403887
Reinforce. I'm leery that this may be a desperate ploy to pull us out of position though. It may be best to leave someone capable behind in case they plan to do something after we move to reinforce.

>>34403996
What if there's a second force that hits us? My understanding was that the vanguard generals are all preoccupied.

Shouldn't we leave someone capable like Gan Ning behind so that they don't burn our siege equipments?

Reinforce Taishi Chi with our cavalry but leave Gan Ning behind to oversee the siege.

>>34404013
Lu Bu and Chen Gong are both untasked still. The siege camp will be fine.

>>34403887
>You are informed that Sun Ce is leading a couple thousand of his light cavalry for a detached attack. Taishi Ci's defenses have allowed Sun Ce to not get in far, but you hear the enemy is making their best effort in pushing in and screaming shouts of "To death!" as if having given up their lives for Sun Ce's cause.

This might be a ploy. Ce only has 6000 men left in total. We should only send 1000 cavalry to reinforce Taishi Ci's still strong defenses. That should be sufficient even if Ce sends most of his forces at us.

We need to train some Macedonian spearmen at somepoint, all this reliance on cavalry is ridonkulous.

>>34404034
Their ultimate goal will probably be to either destroy our siege engines or disrupt our HQ so they'd be the main targets anyway.

>>34404038
>>34404013
The more I look at it the more I think it may be best to be cautious here. Let's leave reinforcing to Gao Shun. He's competent enough that even if there is no second ploy he should succeed in reinforcing. If there is a second ploy though I'd rather we be able to react directly. Not to be overly cautious but this seems like the time someone would try to use our confidence against us.

>>34403887
>Send Gao Shun to reinforce Taishi Ci with 1000 cavalry.

>>34404137

You quickly organize your own cavalry and shout orders for them to form ranks and for the other troops to stand clear of your charge.

“Generals Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun with me! We will drive back Sun Ce! The rest of you, stay and support our troops further!

You and your detachment make way to the flanks where Taishi Ci is defending against Sun Ce. Taishi Ci is making a strong resistance, but Sun Ce charges through with his cavalry in one focused direction and a part of the line breaks. Drawing an arrow, Taishi Ci fires at Sun Ce's head but the man manages to dodge the on nick of time.

“Fight me, son of the Tiger!” Taishi Ci yells as he commands his own elite of man to maneuver against Sun Ce.

“You are Taishi Ci? I have heard of you! Keep the charge up, I shall deal with this man!” Sun Ce yells as both warriors clash and begin dueling.

The troops under Sun Ce keep managing to pursue despite their leader being occupied. However, before they can gain momentum, they are halted and surprised by the arrival of your troops. Lingqi leads the first squad of troops and she kills an enemy leader in one blow before she maneuvers her troops to the side for Gao Shun to crash in.

The light cavalry under Sun Ce are decimated and they begin to falter under your attacks. On the distance you see Taishi Ci and Sun Ce fighting on horseback, neither being able to gain the advantage of the other. You cannot reach Sun Ce yourself, but perhaps you can hit him with an arrow...

>Stop for a moment and focus on shooting Sun Ce down
>Focus on leading your men to route the rest of the enemy troops

If we can route the rest of Sun Ce's men, we can surround him, capture him, and force his men to surrender at sword point.
