Chapter 23: The Yellow Turban Catastrophe (3)
"Ding! Player, you kill a level 20 Yellow Turban and gain 75 experience. ”
"Ding! Achievement '10,000 Slashes' completion: 37/10000. ”
"Ding! Player, you kill a level 20 Yellow Turban and gain 75 experience. ”
……
Chu Tian's blood was boiling, even if the force was only in his early 20s, he still rushed to the front with Xiang Yong, driving the Yellow Turban Army from the entrance of the village all the way to the outside of the village, and the corpses were all over the field.
After the Yellow Turban leader was killed, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army plummeted and collapsed.
The iron knife slashed on Chu Tian's leather armor, and a knife mark appeared on the leather armor, and a sharp pain came, even though the pain of the player in "Lord" had dropped a lot, it was still painful, and he was almost killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Village Chief, are you alright?"
A long sword pierced the chest of the Yellow Turbans, and Wu Shang killed the Yellow Turbans after the Warring States Ranger.
"Can't ...... die"
Chu Tian checked his state, and he was seriously injured, his full attribute was -80%, and his originally low force was only a pitiful single digit, and it also caused a bleeding effect.
"Li Lan, come and stop the bleeding for the village chief!"
"It's coming!"
Li Lan carried the wooden medicine box on her back, hurriedly came to Chu Tian's side, opened the medicine box, used hemostatic grass to help Chu Tian heal his injuries, and wrapped it in gauze.
"Zhao Qi is also injured!"
The bronze hero Zhao Qi was also injured by the Yellow Turbans during the battle with the Yellow Turbans.
The skirmish turned into a scuffle, with at least eighty Yellow Turban soldiers killed in Xia Village, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers fleeing in a rout.
Because of the treatment of physician Li Lan, Chutian's injuries did not deteriorate. There are no scars in Lords, otherwise it would be too cruel for male players with obsessive-compulsive disorder or female players who love beauty.
"This time we captured eleven horses and twenty-three Yellow Turban soldiers. The booty was 10 taels of gold, 237 taels of silver, tens of thousands of copper coins, and hundreds of weapons. There is also a special architectural drawing. ”
Elder Li reported the battle report to Chu Tian, and his eyebrows looked a little excited. For Natsumura, this was a great victory worthy of being recorded in the lord's log.
Although it was enough to destroy eighty yellow turbans and capture twenty-three......
In "Lords", there are several ways to dispose of prisoners of war, from the least to the most serious: release, surrender, enslavement, and execution.
Lacking in labor, Chu Tian chose to enslave these twenty-three Yellow Turban soldiers.
In addition to the normal population, Xia Village now has 23 more coolies, who will be engaged in logging, mining, farming and other production activities. Unlike the freedmen, coolies went to the lord for almost all of the fruits of their labor. In other words, the captives were free labor, as long as they did not starve to death.
The disadvantages of choosing slavery are the reduction of the security of the village, the risk of revolt, and the coolies.
However, if these Yellow Turban soldiers are directly recruited, the popular will of the villagers who have just made enemies with them will decline.
Chu Tian took the special architectural drawings that he had scavenged from the Yellow Turban Leader, which turned out to be a second-level cell construction drawing.
It was just enough to be used to imprison captive Yellow Turban soldiers and then enslave them to labor.
"It's better to fight a war and get money quickly."
Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh when he saw the weapons, gold, silver and copper coins piled up on the ground. At the beginning, the Mongol Empire relied on continuous conquest and snowballed to strengthen itself.
There is also the disadvantage of attaching importance to the military and despising agriculture and commerce, that is, once a war is lost, the economy of the entire territory will quickly collapse, and the rapidly expanding territory will quickly mutiny and split.
"Bring all the loot back to the village, count it, and distribute it."
Chutian asked the villagers to take care of their precious horses and give bows and arrows to the elite infantry, with the infantry in the front row responsible for blocking the enemy's offensive and the infantry in the back row using bows and arrows to shoot.
"A total of 4 elite infantrymen and 35 village warriors were killed, and many people were wounded."
Hua Mulan reported to Chutian Xia Village's losses in this battle.
The ratio of casualties is almost 1:10! The pikemen led by Mulan shook the onslaught of the twenty Yellow Turban cavalry head-on, and only lost 4 people, compared to Xiang Yong's losses were very heavy. A level 15 village warrior is weaker than a level 20 Yellow Turban soldier.
The concept of the elite route is vividly reflected in "Lord". A hundred battles are bound to be of a high rank, and morale declines slowly, compared to a new recruit who quickly collapses due to a rapid decline in morale. At the same time, a good commander-type hero is particularly precious. Mulan is a force-oriented hero, and she can still bring a 25% bonus, which can be seen.
"To appease the families of the fallen soldiers, their taxes can be appropriately reduced in the future."
Chutian found that even if he won, the people's will would inevitably be affected. If a strong man is killed in a family, the family's finances will be tight, and the people's morale will decline.
"Alas, natural disasters and man-made disasters, when will the world be peaceful." Elder Li sighed, "The old man is going to appease these people. ”
Elder Li went to reassure the people, and his daughter Li Lan took the physician and apprentice to treat the injured Xiangyong and restore them to combat effectiveness.
Chu Tian's state ranged from serious injuries to minor injuries because of his treatment.
"Lord" is still a little different from reality, such as Chu Tian was even slashed with armor, and in reality it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to recover.
The Yellow Turbans could make a comeback at any moment, and the villagers of Xia Village raced against time to rebuild the wooden gate at the entrance of the village and bury the corpses at the same time.
The captured weapons, bows and arrows were distributed to the infantry and village warriors of Xia Village to improve their combat effectiveness.
In the afternoon of the same day, there was no Yellow Turban Soldier attacking, but Chu Tian received a request for help from Xiaozhu Village. Xiaozhu Village does not have a professional military camp, only a township battalion, which may not be able to block the Yellow Turban soldiers like Xia Village. The large number of village warriors killed in Xia Village in this battle shows that the combat ability of village warriors is worrying, and there are no king-level heroes in Xiaozhu Village.
The military rating provided by just one Mulan accounted for half of Xia Village's military rating.
"The neighboring villages are our allies, and they are willing to pay money to ask for our army to be hired as reinforcements. The neighboring village was only five kilometers away, and we could reach it quickly by forced march. Zhao Qi and Wu Shang, the two of you led the township to defend the village to the death, and you must not fight. Mulan, we led the infantry to support. ”
When Chu Tian learned that his allies were in trouble, he immediately counted the soldiers and went to support Xiaozhu Village.
Not only because Xiaozhucun was willing to pay the price, but also because Chutian was selfish. When the function of occupying other players' territories is opened in the future, it is very likely that Xiaozhu Village, which is only five kilometers away from Xia Village, will become a vassal of Xia Village, and even merge with Xia Village. If Xiaozhu Village is destroyed now, then it will be a pity for the hundreds of villagers, rice shops, trading houses, and mulberry gardens in Xiaozhu Village.
Hua Mulan gathered the remaining 46 elite infantry and followed Chutian to the aid of Xiaozhu Village. Chu Tian used the eleven war horses captured and the four war horses of Xia Village to form a horse team of fifteen people.
Infantry equipped with war horses will not become cavalry, war horses are just tools used for transportation.
Chu Tian, Hua Mulan, two light cavalry, and eleven elite infantry rode horses to form the first team of reinforcements, galloping, and thirty-five elite infantry formed the second team of reinforcements, and then rushed to arrive.
