"The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" as a classic battle flag game, the design of each level is very exquisite, making people play with endless aftertaste, the game's numerous side plots have also greatly enhanced the playability, the longest you see is to choose different branches will accept different generals, such as the earliest battle of Xindu and the battle of Guangchuan, which correspond to the addition of the two generals of the palace and Guo Shi.
In addition, the choice of some branch lines will also affect the number of levels of the battle, such as the battle of Tiandang Mountain and the battle of Dingjun Mountain, if you choose the battle of Dingjun Mountain directly, the game will directly skip Tiandang Mountain and enter the next level of the battle of Hanshui, but if you choose to reinforce Jia Meng Pass, you can also play one more battle of Dingjun Mountain, which is the most affordable thing for players who pursue leveling.
The acquisition of some props in the game also requires choosing the right option, for example, before the battle of Chengdu, if you choose to let Ma Chao persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, you can get the third BMW in Yingjie's biography - Claw Huang Feidian;
However, there is a special option, if you choose the wrong one, it will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, not only will you miss the strongest general Jiang Wei in the late Shu Han period, but also let Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, who worked hard to follow Guan Yu, die in Huangquan, this is the choice of whether to send a surprise attack team after the Battle of Yilin.
Regarding the background of sending a surprise attack team, Zhuge Liang explained more clearly in the game, in order to exterminate Cao Wei and restore the Han Dynasty, either concentrate troops from Xiangyang to attack Huanglong, but the opponent has many generals and generals, and a head-on hard fight will encounter great obstacles; or send a surprise attack team from Hanzhong to attack Chang'an first to weaken Cao Wei's power, and finally join forces to attack Luoyang, which is more likely to succeed.
From a historical point of view, the reason why Zhuge Liang made many northern expeditions was because he was worried that if Cao Wei was tough, the Shu Han army would have almost no chance of winning, and the plot in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was deep enough to the hearts of the people, and most players would also follow history at this time to choose to send surprise attack teams.
Since sending a surprise attack team is a common choice for most players, many people ignore the relevance of the Battle of Maicheng and this choice when playing, and only pay attention to raising the level of Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others to the highest level as possible in advance, so as to be able to smoothly avoid the pursuit of Soochow.
However, the actual situation is that if you don't choose to send a surprise attack team, after Guan Yu singled out Xiahoudun in the battle of Wan II, he was the only one left to return to the team, and the other generals were all killed in the battle of Maicheng. This ending is really regrettable, after all, in order to improve the level of Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, the players in the early stage spent a lot of energy, and even did not hesitate to transfer Guan Ping to a military band, and then use other props to transfer him back to cavalry or infantry, if you can't save it, wouldn't it be a waste of so many props and experience?
At the same time, if you don't send a surprise attack team but directly attack Luoyang, although you can also surrender Xu Shu on the battlefield, you will lose the opportunity to surrender the "Qiliner" Jiang Wei, so that we have lost a total of 3 generals in vain, and we can't get the props that enhance defense such as three strategies and six Taos.
But there are no absolutes in everything, and there are certain benefits to doing so, at least you don't have to worry too much about the list of 15 people in the final battle, after all, if you choose to miss the side plots, there are only about 40 generals you can choose before the battle of Yecheng, and it is also a good way to choose your favorite generals to fight.
And if it has been determined at the beginning to give up Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, players can also put more experience in the early stage on Liu Feng and Fa Zheng, who usually don't pay much attention to training, so that they can get more opportunities to play, and occasionally use these generals whose ability values are not outstanding to clear the customs, which feels quite special.
