In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, there were only the last two years of the Ming Dynasty left.
When Shen Mo woke up, there were only eighty-seven defeated soldiers left around him.
They were out of food, medicine, and reinforcements.
Three hours later, enemy forces several times larger than ours will find this place.
According to the original history, they would not even leave a name in the history books.
But in Shen Mo's mind, there was a war sandbox.
When others fight, they can only risk their lives by trial and error.
However, Shen Mo was able to verify his war plan over and over again before starting the war.
But he soon discovered——
The sandbox doesn't lie.
People will.
Wrong military reports, hidden troops, cut off food routes, court calculations, and the hearts of those who simply cannot be measured by numbers can turn a game with a 90% winning rate into a dead end.
So Shen Mo could only find the answer by himself.
From eighty-seven remnants to three hundred men who dared to fight.
From a dilapidated military fort to a new army that attracts the attention of the world.
From an isolated army in western Liaoning, to competing for the best in the world.
Many years later, when the lives and deaths of countless people depended on his military order, Shen Mo finally understood:
The real cruelty of war is never how to win.
Rather, a commander must decide
In order to allow more people to survive, who should be allowed to die?
