Warlords: Strategic Conquest
You believe you can win this battle without using your arrow bombs. Your secret weapon may prove more useful later on when the odds are more stacked against you.
You order your archers and ballista to fire at the enemy. The ballista is an impressive machine, and you watch it wipe out wave after wave of enemy infantry. It takes their footmen a while to reach your troops; in the meantime your giant ballista repeatedly pummels their ranks.
Once they do catch up however, your archers and ballista are far less effective in close combat against Wan's infantry. Your own infantry is forced to engage his. Your ballista and arrows have whittled down Wan's advantage in numbers, so it is a close contest. You watch as thousands of soldiers from both Wan and your army fall in battle.
Hours of intense fighting later, it all comes down to a few hundred combatants. In the frantic chaos, you are left to fend for yourself. A small unit of Wan's soldiers closes in on you. You manage to inflict mortal wounds on three of them before succumbing to a spear in the heart.
