In the major battle stages of the game, everyone needs to dispatch their main general to fight on a quadrilateral battlefield. To succeed in battle, newcomers must understand several important combat mechanisms. So, what are the combat mechanisms in Three Kingdoms Gazing at China? Let's explain them below to help newcomers understand and thus perform better on the battlefield, securing victory in the stages.

1. Combined Attack
If the enemy is positioned between two of our generals, it will create a combined attack. On this quadrilateral battlefield, whether it's along the diagonal, horizontal, or vertical lines, it can be considered as surrounding. However, it should be noted that while being surrounded, the enemy must also be within the attack range of our characters to successfully trigger the combined attack.

For example, if Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who have a one-square cross attack range, are attacking, as long as they hit in a straight line, a combined attack will definitely be triggered. If the distance is too far and not within the attack range, it cannot be triggered. You can use the combined attack flexibly; once triggered, it increases your fighting spirit, which can be used for multiple releases of tactics.

2. Counterattack
When our character is attacked by an enemy within its normal attack range using a normal attack or skill, it will trigger a counterattack, allowing for an additional attack. For example, Cao Cao, whose normal attack range is one square around him, must counterattack when hit by an enemy standing one square around him with a normal attack or skill. However, tactic attacks do not trigger a counterattack, so you can use tactics to deal safer damage if you are within range.

3. Pursuit
Pursuit is not available to all generals; only some generals with special mechanisms can perform a pursuit, dealing an extra damage, after meeting certain conditions. For example, if Dian Wei is in attack mode and deals damage to an enemy with a normal attack, and the target counterattacks, it will trigger a pursuit.

The above introduces the combat mechanisms of Three Kingdoms Gazing at China. If these three important mechanisms explained above can be reasonably utilized in battles, more surprising effects can be achieved. Therefore, newcomers must master them well, properly arrange the positioning and attacks of their characters, and thus trigger the mechanisms.
