Chapter 99: The Harvest After the War
The two sides soon began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the first to meet was naturally the pikemen.
The pikemen, who have been trained for more than ten days, have basically learned the fighting methods of three-stage stabbing and column stabbing. Under the command of the mid-ranking officer below, a shot was quickly stabbed forward, then the spear was drawn and retreated, and the pikemen in the back row slammed forward to take the place of these pikemen, and then continued to thrust forward.
In this process, the sword and shield soldiers on both sides carefully used the shields in their hands to resist the opponent's attacks, and the swords in their hands occasionally slashed out, but not to kill the enemy, but to contain the enemy's actions.
Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, the real heavy troops of the copper army stepped forward, raised the copper sword in their hands, and smashed it down fiercely against the enemy in front, and then quickly retreated, and the second row of copper soldiers immediately took their place and launched the next round of offensive.
Not to mention, behind them, the archers have completed a new round of bow bending. With Xie Ran's order, these soldiers desperately pulled away from the capture and shot the arrows in their hands towards the oblique upper corner.
The arrows flew past the friendly forces, and even a part of the enemy troops, towards the rear of the enemy line. The soldiers in the rear of the enemy army were blocked by the front army, and they could not see the bows and arrows falling from the sky at all, and as a result, they fell to the ground one after another.
Fang Yun took the lead, and the spear in his hand continued to harvest the lives of the enemy. Dian Wei and the guards of the pro-guard battalion carefully guarded the flanks, opening up an area for Fang Yun where he could kill the enemy with peace of mind. Dian Wei, Li Daniu and He Man constantly refreshed the number of enemy troops killed, and the enemy was terrified.
Finally, I don't know who was the first to lay down his weapon and chose to flee, as if a chain reaction was formed in that instant. As a result, most of the soldiers began to put down their weapons and began to choose to flee shamelessly.
This is also something that cannot be helped, from the beginning to the present, forty percent of the soldiers have died on the killing field. Seeing that the enemy was overwhelmed, there was no soldier who could still calm down.
But can they really escape?
At this moment, the cavalry suddenly came out, while using the potential energy brought by the charge to harvest the lives of these routed troops, while constantly shouting: "Surrender and die!" ”
Finally, the deserters realized that there was no point in escaping, and they chose to accept the surrender and decisively crouched down with their heads in their hands.
"Check the bodies of all the captives and make sure they don't have any weapons of destruction!" Fang Yun said solemnly.
"Whoa!" At this moment, it was the bookkeeper in the army who was doing Yu Xing, and with the experience of the last time, he naturally did not dare to slack off this time.
"Chen Tao reconciled you, take the people of the headquarters, and go over to support Zhou Cang!" Fang Yun ordered again.
The two armies did not exceed 1,000 people, but Chen Tao was in charge of the light cavalry, while Xie Ran was in charge of the archers, which was naturally of great help to Zhou Cang. The two of them also understood this, and gave up their orders, and then immediately led their headquarters to support.
Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Yun also entered the system by the way to check the tasks of some systems. According to his estimates, the previous killing of the fake yellow turban and the two battles of this attack on the horse farm should have been able to complete the task.
Sure enough, when the quest screen opens, the main quest column already shows 'Completed'.
In other words, this time, Yuan Valu transferred more than 27,000 soldiers to guard the horse farm. But in fact, this is not the case, there are only about 17,000 real Han soldiers, and the rest are actually herdsmen who rely on horse farms for their livelihood.
They can be regarded as employees of the horse farm, but they will also take up arms to help defend at critical moments. But it is clear that the herdsmen of these 10,000 people do not have much combat effectiveness at all, so they have become the main reason for the rout of the enemy.
At the same time, don't expect the herdsmen to ride horses, even if they can, they can't ride them, just because most of these horses have not been trained, and untrained horses are easily frightened on the battlefield, and then the knights will fall down, and even trample on their own people. In an age when there were no bilateral stirrups, fighting on a group of untrained horses was simply an act of pure death.
The herdsmen are not stupid, so they would rather attack with all kinds of rudimentary weapons than choose to ride horses.
At this moment, the battlefield is already in the tail sweeping stage, there is nothing to do, Fang Yun is here to supervise, but in fact, he clicks to confirm and starts to receive the task reward.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest - Fame (2) and defeating a total of 30,000 Han Dynasty troops; Mission rewards: 3 skill points, 5 free attribute points, and a random item draw. ”
"Task updating......
"The main quest - fame (3), capture three county seats; Rewards: 3 free attribute points, 2 skill points. ”
"System, why does the difficulty of the task increase, but the reward decreases?" After seeing the main quest, Fang Yun complained.
"This system adheres to the principle of fairness to release tasks and provide rewards, and the criteria for releasing tasks are directly related to the protagonist's attributes at this stage and the strength of actual control. If the difficulty of the mission increases, but the strength of the protagonist is also greatly improved, the mission reward will be appropriately reduced. The novice instructor gave an official reply. Obviously, because Fang Yun had a cavalry and an engineering battalion, his overall combat effectiveness had increased so much that the system had reduced the amount of rewards he could obtain.
"Isn't the existence of the system just to cultivate me who is both civil and military? Isn't that too much to lower the reward? Fang Yun expressed dissatisfaction.
"This system is committed to cultivating a qualified general, but only if it grows up healthily. Letting things go will only lead to inevitable distortions in certain directions of the host, leading to unhealthy overall growth. Therefore, no matter what the situation, the host should at least know how to 'keep the heart'. The system replied.
Fang Yun didn't expect that he was actually lectured by the system, but he could also see that the system was determined to lower his reward. In desperation, I can only acquiesce to this result.
Task Update ......
"The mission update has been completed, the side quest - talent, recruit a military advisor, at least a wild history general. The higher the level of the military advisor recruited, the more generous the system rewards. ”
But I didn't expect that it didn't take long before and after, and a side quest was actually updated. Considering that he will soon enter Yingchuan County, he can even go to Yingchuan Academy to have a look at it in a short time.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was a real lack of talent under his command, and Chen Tao's talent was more suitable for commanding troops, I am afraid that he would have been arranged to be a military advisor a long time ago. After all, he is the only one of them who knows the skill of 'calculation'.
"Report, the battle on General Zhou Cang's side has been completed, please give me a lecture!" This is suitable, but the pro-soldiers came in a hurry to report the news that the battle on Zhoucang's side has ended.
"Let him bring all the captives here, and send someone to collect the corpses, and find all the materials, and cremate the corpses as soon as possible. In the meantime, send the master to take stock of the horse farm and see how much loot we have harvested this time! Fang Yun thought about it and ordered.
Seeing that the guards had already gone away, Fang Yun clicked on the system and began to allocate attribute points and skill points.
He kept a spare of three skill points, so that he had good skills in front of him, but he couldn't learn them. As for the other two skill points, they were added to "Thunderbolt Marksmanship", but what makes people speechless is that the two skill points can only upgrade the skill from LV5 to LV6.
The conclusion given by the system is that LV1-LV5 is the initial semester, LV5-LV9 is the promotion period, and the last LV9-LVMAX is the great consummation period, in which each level of the initial semester requires 1 skill point; During the promotion period, each level requires 2 skill points; In the end, if you want to ascend to the Great Perfection realm, you need 5 skill points to satisfy.
It can be seen that the more advanced this skill, the greater the skill points consumed, no wonder the task will often issue several skill points. This thing is not enough if it is missing!
In this way, the two advanced skills of "Five Birds Sculpting the Body Decision" and "Green Capsule Medical Sutra" will be upgraded after LV5, but I am afraid that the price will not be cheaper......
As for the five attribute points, according to the usual standard, 1 point is added to each circumference, and the last point is added to the intelligence.
So at this moment, Fang Yun's surroundings are: force: 55; Intelligence: 66; Dominion: 51; Glamour: 52.
The system still gives a chance to draw a random item, but it's clear that now is not the time to do that. Xie Yuan had already begun to take people to check the situation of the horses in the horse farm, but Zhou Cang came with a prisoner; Yu Xing counted the casualties, and it seemed that the results would soon be coming.
"Senior brother, the prisoners on my side have been counted, there are three thousand people in total, and there are two thousand wounded soldiers, of which about 1,800 can continue to go to the battlefield as long as their injuries are healed! However, our side also lost a lot of brothers, and 5,000 people were reduced by 2,000 people......" Zhou Cang came to Fang Yun and reported, probably because there were too many dead in battle, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Very good, tell them that if they don't join my Yellow Turban Army, they will wait for death!" Fang Yun nodded and motioned for Zhou Cang to go down and make arrangements.
The enemy troops captured on the battlefield were added to the self-army system, which has almost become a strange pattern of civil war in the homeland. Interestingly, most of the soldiers themselves come from poor families, and many are even homeless, so they don't mind serving as soldiers for anyone, as long as they can be fed and clothed, then anyone can be their master.
At this moment, most of the captives were horse farm herdsmen who had been exploited very much, and they only hated Yuan and did not have any good feelings. It's just that Yuan Valve gave them a chance not to starve to death, so they had to herd horses for Yuan Valve.
Interestingly, these people actually have good riding skills, as long as they train well, they are an excellent cavalry!
Zhou Cang passed on Fang Yun's meaning, and together with the more than 2,000 soldiers captured by Fang Yun's side, a total of 7,000 soldiers chose to surrender. But after the elimination according to Fang Yun's requirements, there were less than 4,000 qualified people. But in general, the army remained at 10,000 men in this assault on the horse farm, and more than 1,000 new recruits were added.
As for the self-commissioned officers who were killed or wounded, there were more than 3,000 people. The report was just a series of cold numbers, but in Fang Yun's eyes, it was difficult to equate these numbers with the lives of people......
P.S: This time it's still two watches, and tomorrow's three watches, so stay tuned!
