290 BC We should put out fire
while it is still small.
|
We are
surrounded and war is seemingly inevitable. We will be swallowed
up if we allow ourselves to be attacked from two sides at once. We need
to expand to defend our future. By taking out the primitive
and undeveloped Jungle Kingdom of the Chinese, all our forces
can shift to defensive positions on the Indian front.

290 BC Do
they prepare leather [for a battle shield] the day they fight? The first of our fourteen Horsemen attack. The Horseman retreats, but has damaged the Spearman defender. Shanghai falls on the fifth attack. An Impi occupies the hill next to Nanking.
|
|
Moving
each Horseman separately, once we take Shanghai, the remaining
Horsemen will be able to take full advantage of |
Shanghai's
recently liberated roads.
|
290 BC We are within striking distance of Beijing with nine Horsemen. Our Impis bring up rear, defending the injured Horsemen in Shanghai, and another forward with the nine Horsemen to Beijing.

Beijing
falls to Shaka's Spear.

110 BC Xinjian
is a town on a hill. A Spearman can be quite an obstacle when
fortified on a hill. In addition, our forces are exhausted and
spread out. Inexplicably, someone gives the order to attack
before all the Zulu forces have been gathered together. |
The
enemy Spearman hangs on and gets promoted by the villain Mao himself.
It was quite a
moving ceremony, considering the Spearman was doomed.
70 BC The day never
turns back again. We gather our strength and attack again. This time Xinjian is ours, though Mao escapes. Shaka Reminds Himself of the Swahili proverb, there is no bad patience. Gather your strength into a Great Fist -- then strike. Not before. |
