Chapter 704: Three Thousand Heavy Steps
Although Feng Luan reacted immediately, he was still a step slower.
Fu Shi is not far from the dragon leader, although the game is much faster than the real situation, but there are still more than twenty miles, and the Qianghu mercenaries have already left after the last round of operations, and it will also take time to re-recruit, and the dragon leader is fast enough to send troops the next day after receiving the news, but it still can't catch up with the speed of the god soldier leader. You must know that Rainy Night is a player, the post station teleportation arrives immediately, the Qianghu mercenaries have already been contacted, everything is ready, just wait for Rainy Night to go back to send troops, and Rainy Night will send troops immediately after flying back to the god soldier leader.
When the dragon leader arrived outside the city, the battle for the city was nearing its end.
The divine soldiers led 8,000 foot soldiers, plus the 1,200 mercenaries that could be hired in the third-level cities, with a total strength of more than 9,000 people, which was comparable to when the dragon led the army to attack the abandoned county town for the first time, and fought outside the city of Luyan for a day and a night, and only one-third of the nine thousand people remained. Fortunately, the horse thieves defending the city were even worse, and due to heavy losses, they had to retreat to the city, and a black-scarfed and masked general threw his legion skills from time to time to clear the field, and it was only a matter of time before he conquered the city of Luyan.
The black-scarfed and masked military general is naturally Hao Zhao.
Whether the abandoned county town can be promoted to the capital is just speculation, and the eight characters have not yet been skimmed, and it is inevitable that Jin Qila will let Hao Zhao conceal his identity to fight, so as not to make the bamboo basket empty. If you really get what you want because of this, it is not unacceptable to expose the origin of the divine soldier leader.
Hao Zhao personally led the team, and the Divine Soldier Leader fought so badly, which shows how powerful the suppression of the horse thief level is.
The level 50 army fought against the level 60 army and was crushed in all directions.
Hao Zhao is a rare commander-type general, with good wisdom and bravery, and his military intelligence is more than 80 points, but according to the rules of the system, he can only be assessed as a senior general, and the interval between the legion's skills is as long as 15 minutes, and most of the time can only be carried hard. If it weren't for employing 1,200 Qianghu cavalry to participate in the battle, it would have been almost impossible for Hao Zhao to defeat 5,000 Qianghu horse thieves with 8,000 foot soldiers. It is possible for the dragon leader to do it, and the serial army technical bombardment of several king-level talents can beat the defenders into internal injuries and vomit blood in the shortest possible time.
The most valuable thing in the Three Kingdoms is talent!
Seeing that the dragon led the army to arrive, Hao Zhao was worried that the other party would snatch it, and he could no longer care about the army's skills to slowly clear the field, and led the remnants to launch a general attack on Luyan City. There were few horse thieves left in the city, Hao Zhao personally led the team to rush and kill, and the remaining horse thieves were powerless to resist, and the city of Luyan was quickly breached.
Seeing this, Xu Shu didn't say a word, and while sending someone back to the city to inform the lord, he turned his head and went to Zhenlin.
After a set of familiar processes, the horse thieves defending the city were all wiped out, and Zhenlin City was breached.
Yu Buzhi hurriedly arrived, and after handing over the county seat to Zhu Jun's heavy foot soldiers, the system announcement sounded.
"Ding Dong: Due to changes in the objective situation, the [Recover Shang County] mission ended ahead of schedule, and the Chase Deer Territory is progressing smoothly, but it has not been able to recover all four target counties. In view of the fact that the early termination of the task was due to the impact of force majeure, and Zhu Jun's goal of recovering the four county towns was finally achieved, and the task deadline was not exceeded, it was judged that the task of [Recovering Shangjun] was successfully completed, and the completion of the task in such a short period of time was highly praised. Chase the deer can receive the task reward according to the actual performance, congratulations to the unwise players. ”
"Ding Dong: Zhu Jun thanks you for your outstanding contributions to the recovery of Shangjun, your recognition has been improved, and I am willing to give you three thousand heavy infantry soldiers, please hand over the military power to Zhu Jun as soon as possible, congratulations to the unwise player."
At the same time, Jin Kela also received a system announcement.
"Dingdong: Your territory indirectly participated in the [Recover the Upper County] quest, and shared the quest rewards with the quest recipients. Zhu Jun thanks you for your outstanding contribution to the recovery of Shangjun, your recognition has been improved, and I am willing to give Jiangnan a thousand heavy infantry soldiers, please hand over the military power with Zhu Jun as soon as possible, congratulations to the players. ”
"Goose!"
The two lords burst out at the same time.
Jin Kela is very dissatisfied with this result, this is not the plot he wants!
In all fairness, a thousand heavily armed foot soldiers are definitely a rich reward, but the divine soldiers led the troops to fight the abandoned county town, and they went for the grand goal of advancing to the capital, not for the so-called heavy foot soldiers. In order to defeat the city of Haoyan, more than half of the 8,000 infantry soldiers led by the divine soldiers were killed, and the hired Qianghu cavalry also suffered a lot of losses.
Obviously not!
Jin Kela and the rainy night were speechless, only a thousand tears.
Kim: "I kind of want to cry......"
Rainy Night: "Me too, be strong." ”
Jin Kela gritted his teeth: "Made, this time I lost a lot." ”
Rainy Night gritted his teeth: "It's okay, we at least let the dragon leader receive some less rewards!" ”
Their inadvertent involvement in the Dragon Leader's mission was the only thing that could comforting the two of them a little. Based on the familiarity shown by Long Ling and Zhu Jun before, the task of [Recovering Shangjun] is clearly tailored for Long Ling.
Previously, because he asked for help from the dragon leader, he had to endure the pain of parting his love, but later Yuye and Jin Qila realized that the divine soldier leader was besieged because Hao Zhao threw the legion technique to anger Qiang Hu, and Qiang Hu was so irritable because the dragon leader messed around, in a sense, the divine soldier leader can be said to have been killed by the dragon leader, but at that time they also asked the dragon leader for reinforcements. Whenever they think about it, the two of them always feel inexplicably congested. This time the forcible insertion of the [Liberation of Shangjun] task, although it is said that part of the reward of the dragon leader is taken away, so that the dragon leader cannot compete for all the merits, although it can be said that he has a bad breath, but is the price of this breath too great?
When Rainy Night said "Let the dragon leader receive the reward", he felt that he was clearly the legendary Ah Q.
It's not good to hurt people......
If you knock out your teeth, you have to swallow blood......
Jin Kela and Yu Ye are not satisfied, and Yu Buzhi is also dissatisfied.
With the combat effectiveness and fighting style of the divine soldier leader, it will be difficult to deal with the five thousand Qianghu horse thieves, and even if they win, their own losses will be quite heavy, and the gains will not be worth the battle losses. But the deer leader is different, the three king-level talents go out together, the two generals don't need to be in front of the long-term long, the legion technical bombardment and the long-range attack of the army can make the horse thief vomit blood, and the battle loss of the county town is not large, and every time a city is captured, it is close to a net profit of a thousand steps.
Capture an abandoned county town for a thousand heavy steps, where to find such a good thing?
Unexpectedly, the divine soldier led the oblique stab to kill, snatch love with a horizontal knife, and snatch away the reward of a thousand heavy steps.
The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to do it if the fish is not wise.
Back to the dragon collar, Fei Fu Shi looked for Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun briskly wrote an official letter, asking Yu Buzhi to pick people directly from the heavy steps stationed in the dragon leader. In order to let the dragon leader rest assured to send troops, Zhu Jun sent 4,000 heavy foot guards to the dragon leader, and there were also 2,000 people in Wild Horse City, and the 6,000 heavy foot soldiers who came to temporarily station to help, and the dragon leader returned 3,000 people.
Yu Buzhi's heart moved, and Zhu Jun had already prepared the task reward.
If Zhulu Ling successfully takes the four county seats, the troops stationed in the dragon will all be their own, and they only need to return the 2,000 people in Mustang City. It is worthy of working hard in the court for decades, and inadvertently taking precautions to show foresight.
"Sending thousands of heavy steps, will the number of troops in the hands of the adults be reduced?" Yu Buzhi asked.
Zhu Jun smiled: "Naturally, it will decrease." ”
"What?"
Yu Buzhi froze, he just asked casually, after all, this is a game, and it is not surprising that the reloaded pawns of the task rewards are delivered by the system, Yu Buzhi never thought that it would be paid by the NPC forces themselves. But Zhu Jun made it very clear just now that the heavy infantry soldiers rewarded for the [Liberation of Shangjun] mission were not given by the system, but were deducted from Zhu Jun's existing troops.
When Zhu Jun marched into the Hetao, the total number of troops was about 15,000.
According to Yu Buzhi's knowledge, after Zhu Jun took the skin as a stronghold, because the population of the county town recovered for a long time, the population gradually recovered, and the productivity of the city could be gradually restored, so Zhu Jun did not recruit more troops and kept eating his old book. The task of [recovering Shangjun] was completed with 4,000 heavy steps, and Zhu Jun's total army was 11,000 left.
Divide troops to garrison multiple counties, and on average, the total strength of each city is less than 2,000?
Yu Buzhi doesn't understand what Zhu Jun thinks at all, this is a loop!
"Don't you think it's weird?" Zhu Jun's eyes are as deep as the sea.
Yu Buzhi nodded: "Yes, the adults don't have many troops in their hands, and now they are even less." ”
"The county seat of Hetao is abandoned, the population is weak, the production is low, and it will take at least a year to recover."
"The situation in several counties is far worse than when I was in Zhongmu."
"It's okay to support it in a short time, but if the time is a little longer, the old man can't actually afford to raise so many soldiers."
Zhu Jun's face was calm, as if it was not himself who was embarrassed, but telling about the suffering of others.
"The old man is a chariot and cavalry general canonized by the imperial court, and he can occupy five county seats, but my goal is to recover the entire upper county, and I can't get my hands on the other four county seats, even if I have soldiers in my hands. If you want to recover the entire territory of Shangjun, you must rely on external forces to help, and the five thousand Qianghu horse thieves in the city are not easy to deal with, at least the territorial army is difficult to compete with them, but fortunately, you have a stronghold here. ”
"The old man knows that the dragon leader has the ability to capture the four county towns and help me achieve the goal of recovering the entire territory of Shangjun, if the old man wants to find someone who can fight side by side in Hetao, it can only be you. I can't raise so many soldiers, and the dragon leader obviously has the problem of insufficient troops, especially the lack of high-end combat power that is enough to compete with Qianghu head-on, so the old man came up with the idea of transferring some heavy infantry to you, which can not only alleviate the difficulties on my side, but also make your power stronger in Hetao, so that we will have more confidence when fighting Qianghu. ”
"The [Liberation of Shangjun] mission is issued to you out of overall consideration."
"These soldiers fought with the old man when they were in Zhongmu, and they were considered to have been in battle for a long time, and it was a pity to disband, and they were handed over to the unwise, and I believe that with the prestige of chasing the deer, they will not be insulted."
"To tell you the truth, at least for a year, the old man will not be able to start a foreign war, and some troops will be given to you, which can relieve our supply pressure. As the population, production, and tax revenues of the counties of the upper county gradually recovered, it was not too late to re-recruit new soldiers. The old man didn't expect someone to come out halfway, and he walked a thousand steps in vain. ”
The fish is not wise and suddenly realized.
Zhu Jun's foresight made him admire.
The person who can become a famous general and important minister of the imperial court is indeed not an ordinary person.
Zhu Jun didn't say why he wanted to recover the entire territory of Shangjun, but Yu Buzhi knew it in his heart, and he didn't break it, but asked about another thing. After the four counties of Qiuzi, Baitu, Zhenlin, and Haoyan were captured, there were 1,000 heavily armed foot soldiers stationed in each, but they did not continue to refresh the displaced people as soon as they did in Fushi and other cities, and the buildings in the city showed no signs of recovery, and they are still several dead cities.
"Dare to ask my lord, when will the four counties such as Qiuzi start to recover?"
The essence in Zhu Jun's eyes flashed, knowing that Yu Buzhi guessed the truth, and said with a smile: "Two months later." ”
Yu Buzhi's face showed a clear look.
In two months, it was just enough for Zhu Jun to use stunts to take down the last two famous cities, restore the five cities, and the other four cities were in his control. You must know that [Recovering Shangjun] is a promotion task for the princes, requiring Zhulu to take four cities within a year, one year is enough time for Zhu Jun to restore the five cities obtained by Zhu Jun with stunts to their full state, and by that time his strength should also be restored, and it is not difficult to swallow the four cities again.
11,000 steps to defend the seven cities was not Zhu Jun's original plan.
Unexpectedly, the task was completed in just over two months, but Zhu Jun's progress was lagging behind.
Zhu Jun was a little helpless about this, but he was able to take the four county seats so quickly, and the follow-up related matters were much clearer, and it was a great benefit for him that the upper county could recover faster. After all, this is the Hetao, and the Qianghu cavalry's ability to siege the city is extremely poor, as long as Zhu Jun's troops do not go out of the city to die or provoke, I believe that the Qianghu cavalry has no reason to be bored.
It is not surprising that a thousand heavily armed infantry soldiers defended the city without major mistakes, and doubled the Qianghu cavalry several times.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if one or two county towns are broken by Qianghu, it is impossible for Qianghu to occupy the city for a long time. At that time, it is okay to [set things right], please help fight the city again, and it will not be difficult to take the county seat again.
So far, no matter how the follow-up changes, Zhu Jun's plan to recover Shangjun can be steadily realized.
returned to the dragon collar, told the conversation with Zhu Jun and the circle, and handed over the official document to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu sighed: "Zhu Che riding is a beautiful idea, but it has caused us a big problem. ”
Zhai Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Isn't it, the daily expenses of three thousand heavy steps are a lot, the territory is at the time of using money, and there are more than these three thousand heavy infantry soldiers, and the military expenditure has soared, and Deputy City Lord Yi ......."
Zhai Jian didn't continue, Yi Feng knew that the news was mostly anxious.
"No way. With 3,000 well-trained heavy infantry soldiers, we have already taken a big advantage in the cost of formation and later training, and it is not good to take into account military expenditures. ”
Yu Buzhi shrugged his shoulders and said: "The Hetao is surrounded by strong enemies, our garrison is compared with the Qianghu cavalry, the basic combat power is a big difference, although there are Kuita and other bonuses, it can't erase the gap, and it is too difficult to transfer strong troops from the main base, with these three thousand heavy steps to join, and then Qianghu will have more confidence and earn!" ”
Everyone nodded, and getting three thousand heavy steps for free must be a big profit.
Speaking of the difficulty of transferring troops from the main base, Xu Shu remembered something.
The Hongshu tribe brigade has arrived at Wulong Mountain, but the Wudang Flying Army has not yet arrived. Although the Hongshu tribe is the first, but the migration of the tribe involves the old and young, women and children, and the migration speed is already slow, which is not the same as the march of the army.
