Chase the deer leader, the city lord's office.

Xu Shu, Xun Yan, Zhai Yin, Yi Feng, Feng Luan and others are all there, which shows the importance of this meeting. Yu Buzhi gathered all the officials together, firstly, to discuss the lost incident of the frog dragon, and secondly, how to respond to the new situation after the big update.

Xu Shu, the number one thinker in the territory, said: "The loss of the frog dragon has an impact on the territory in all aspects. ”

"The frog dragon has three natural abilities: [Treading Waves], [Making Tides] and [Controlling Fish]."

"[Treading the waves] improves the water combat ability of the troops, and the beneficiaries are not only the Jiaojiao battalion, but all territorial troops can be improved when fighting on the water; The effect of [Tide] has been tested many times in actual combat; [Unified Fish] has increased the production of the territory's fishery by four times. Now that the frog dragon is lost, the fishery production of the territory and the strength of the army's water warfare will be affected. ”

"But objectively speaking, the proportion of fishery production in the territory is very low, there are very few cases of water wars, and the loss of the natural ability of the frog dragon has a very direct impact on the territory, and it is completely bearable."

"The biggest problem is that we have lost the deterrent effect of the frog dragon."

"This will directly affect the safety of the dragon collar."

"The reason why the dragon collar was able to gain a firm foothold in the Hetao is largely because of the deterrent power of the frog dragon, and the legend of the dragon collar has long been spread in the Hetao, and the Qianghu tribes are silent. The reason why our cavalry dared to take the initiative to attack the Qianghu tribe again and again was that the Qianghu people did not dare to easily run to the dragon territory to find trouble, so they forbearance of our attacks. If the Qianghu people knew that we had lost the "dragon", I believe that many Qianghu tribes would be willing to send troops to fight and be ashamed. ”

"During the period when the frog dragon has not been recovered, the safety situation of the dragon leader is worrying."

"Once the dragon leader fails, the town of Mustang attached to the dragon leader will also be lost."

"We must re-evaluate the situation of the dragon leader and formulate a contingency strategy without frog dragons!"

There was silence in the office, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

The Hetao had always been insecure, and since the imperial forces had withdrawn from the Hetao, it had become extremely difficult for the Han Chinese to establish a foothold in the Hetao. In order to establish a stronghold in the Hetao, the Zhulu Leader invested a lot of manpower and resources in the Hetao area to achieve its current scale, and before the successful construction of the stone city wall, the new Dragon Leader always had to guard against the impact of the Qianghu cavalry. When the three thousand Qianghu cavalry attacked, if it weren't for the Qingjiao Dragon, the dragon leader defenders would have to pay a greater price to repel the incoming enemy, and the Qianghu cavalry in Hetao numbered hundreds of thousands, even if they led all the troops to drive over, they would definitely not be able to stop the siege of the Qianghu people.

The dragon collar has the legend of the dragon, which is equivalent to a talisman.

Now the amulet is gone.

The huge investment in the Hetao area, coupled with the fact that the architectural drawings of the special territory have been used, cannot be recovered, and cannot bear the loss of the dragon territory. Even if the Qianghu tribe is ready to move, there is no room for retreat from the deer leader, and there is only one road in Huashan to ensure that the dragon leader is not lost.

But the difference in strength is obvious.

The Qianghu cavalry not only has an absolute advantage in strength, but also has a strength above the Zhulu army.

The cavalry level is 55 levels, 5 levels higher than the foot soldiers and sailors, but the Qianghu is a foreign race, and the Qianghu cavalry has become a 60-level unit after the system is updated, and the nomads who grew up on horseback since childhood have superior riding skills, and the strength of both sides has been further expanded. In the event of a large-scale conflict, it would be difficult for the dragon leaders to take advantage of it, even if it was a defensive operation with a favorable location.

Zhai Jian is the person in charge of the dragon collar, and said: "The dragon collar has sufficient talent reserves and financial support, and the construction of the territory is orderly after being promoted to the third-level township, and only the prison has not yet been completed due to the construction period, but it will not be long." In a month at the latest, the dragon leader will be able to be promoted to a first-class city! ”

"First-class cities can build stone walls, as long as our stone walls are closed and condescending, the threat of the Qianghu cavalry to the dragon collar will be significantly reduced. However, the stone wall project is huge, and even if there is enough capital investment, it will take a long time to build, and it will not be safe until then. ”

"We have four thousand defenders in the Hetao area, half of them foot soldiers, deployed in Longling and Mustang Town. Although Wild Horse Town has not been exposed for the time being, and there are teleportation arrays connected between the strongholds, and the dragon leader can be quickly reinforced when something happens, but the Qianghu cavalry that attacked the dragon leader last time reached 3,000 people, and the 4,000 defenders were very difficult to deal with, and the Qianghu cavalry was stronger than before, and the Hetao area needed to continue to increase troops. ”

Feng Luan arched his hand and said: "What Deputy City Lord Zhai said is very true, and I seconded it below. ”

Yi Feng sighed secretly in his heart.

It is a fact that the Hetao is short of troops, either recruited on the spot, or drawn from the Zhulu Territory or the Flying Fish Territory, the question is where are so many soldiers? The three bases of the Zhulu Collar are opened at the same time, and the construction expenses are at least three times that of the ordinary territory, and the normal production of the two docks and the war dock must be ensured, and the salary expenses of the territory are frighteningly high, so although the income of the Zhulu Collar is very high, the various expenses are planed, and there are not a few left.

Because of this, the attitude of the territory towards military spending is to save if it can.

To what extent?

Can you not be conscripted, resolutely not conscripted!

The third-level city can recruit up to 20,000 troops, and there are two third-level cities in the Zhulu Territory with the same base (after the subordination between the non-fish leader and the Flying Fish Leader is "confirmed", the Flying Fish Territory has generously completed the upgrade, and the upgrade timing of the Flying Fish Territory in the future will follow the non-fish leader in principle), and the number of troops in the Dragon Territory is more than one for the time being, and 40,000 troops can be recruited from two city-level strongholds alone.

The actual strength of the Zhulu Leader is less than 15,000 people.

These forces need to defend three territories, including the dragon territory located in the Hetao area, and the pressure on the troops can be imagined. Fortunately, there are many talented people in the Deer Army, both king-level strategists like Xu Shu, and many brave generals who can fight well, although the troops are extremely thin, they still barely cope with it all the way. The strength of the Zhulu Territory and the Flying Fish Territory is already very small, and the Hetao Territory needs to increase its troops, whether it is drawn from other places or formed on the spot, and the expansion of the territory has become inevitable.

The dragon leader lacks population, and the task of expanding the army still has to fall to the deer leader.

It costs money to expand the army.

Almost all the important industries in the territory are on the main side, and the military expenditure must be asked by Yi Feng.

Yu Buzhi looked at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shu arched his hand: "It is imperative to expand the army, I am afraid that a small fight is not enough, and my subordinates think that we have to expand the army." ”

Xu Shu's request for a large army expansion was not entirely due to the deterioration of the security situation in Hetao, but for the sake of the famous city.

After a long period of construction, the three-level stone city wall of Zhululing will be completed in about a month, and then it will face the test of leapfrogging upgrade. The leapfrog test of the city's promotion to the capital is the famous city strategy, and only by successfully occupying the famous city can you get the qualification for promotion, and you need to prepare to attack the famous city as soon as possible.

The defenders of the famous city were 10,000 heavily armed foot soldiers.

The defenders of the deer division are less than eight thousand!

The dragon leader was too busy to take care of himself, and the flying fish leader only had 3,000 soldiers, so he had no way to send troops back to participate in the famous city battle, so he could only recruit new soldiers to prepare for the war in the Zhulu Territory. Considering that the defenders of the famous city have a hierarchical advantage over ordinary territorial troops and have the advantage of defending the city, the attackers must be mentally prepared to pay heavy casualties. Even if the city is successfully occupied, it will take time for the city's strength to recover, and the player's territory or clan can fight undeclared at any time.

In all these cases, the siege force is too small, and it will definitely not work.

Yu Buzhi made a decision on the spot: the camp was expanded from the current 5,000 people to 10,000 people.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the scale of this army expansion still made Yi Feng really startled. Yi Feng is undoubtedly a veteran, in his impression, in the past, the previous expansion of the territory was a small fight, and a single expansion of the army never exceeded 1,000 people, and this was the case for both the main base and the two special territories. This expansion of the army of 5,000 people is a large-scale move that has never been done before.

Thinking of the funds needed to expand the army by 5,000, Yi Feng's face turned white.

Yu Buzhi looked at him and asked; "Deputy City Lord Yi, is there any difficulty in military spending?"

Yi Feng swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "No." ”

In fact, he was tempted to say that there was difficulty.

The cost of the territory is huge, and how can it not be difficult to expand the army so much at once?

But he knew that the territory was facing a grim situation now, and it would definitely not be an easy task to attack the famous city, even if the Panshi Battalion was expanded to 10,000 people, plus 1,000 tank battalions, hundreds of Bai Yu soldiers and Wudang Fei troops, the total strength of the Zhulu Commander was less than 13,000. Even if there are special troops and Xu Shu and others to suppress the formation, it must be very difficult to defend the famous city with 10,000 heavy steps.

The meeting was held in the Zhulu Territory, and Yi Feng knew that the lord and the military advisor had exchanged views in advance. The lord directly proposed to expand the army by 5,000 at the meeting, which must be the result of discussions between the two, both of them are very clear about the economic situation of the territory, and this number should be the minimum number of troops they think needs to be expanded to attack the famous city.

Yi Feng knew that he had to complete it, and there were no conditions to talk about.

Yu Buzhi's eyes showed a little relief, and said: "That's good, the conscription announcement will be issued after the meeting, and the recruits will hurry up and train, and on the day the stone city wall is completed, they will have to go to the battlefield, and it will only take about a month." Wait for the battle of Mingcheng to end, and then decide how many reinforcements to send to the Hetao according to the actual situation. ”

Yi Feng solemnly promised: "No." ”

Zhai Jian and Feng Luan glanced at each other, and they both saw a bit of melancholy in each other's eyes.

The two of them are civilian officials, and they have not been in the deer collar for a long time, although they have heard of the name of the deer army being good at fighting, but after all, they have not seen the demeanor of the deer army on the battlefield. This time, the main base is to expand the army by 5,000, and it is necessary to participate in the battle of the famous city first, and the 13,000 troops will attack 10,000 heavy steps, no matter how you look at it, there will not be many victories, even if you win the battle, the casualties will definitely not be less, and how many reinforcements can be sent to the Hetao at that time?

Moreover, sending troops from the main base to the Hetao, passing through Hanzhong and Chang'an is the fastest, but Hanzhong Zhang Lu rebelled, and Chang'an is Dong Zhuo's base camp, and the investigation is very strict, and whether it can pass smoothly is a big problem. If the northern line is not passed, you can only go east to Jingzhou to the north, and go around a big circle to reach the Hetao, and I don't know how long it will take on the road.

All in all, it was difficult for the Hetao Territory to obtain reinforcements from the main base in a short period of time.

The main possession has the difficulties of the main possession, but the problem of insufficient troops in the Hetao territory has not been solved.

In the event of an accident, the situation is likely to be dire.

Yu Buzhi knew that the two of them were worried, and said: "Don't worry, the main reinforcements are inconvenient for the time being, I have found another friendly army, and the three thousand foot soldiers of the Piercing Blood will set off tomorrow and enter the Hetao to help us garrison." In addition, the 500 cavalry of Beiping arrived at the Assassin Blood Collar the day before yesterday, rested overnight in the Piercing Blood Collar, and set off for the Dragon Collar yesterday, although there were only 500 people, but the cavalry belonged to the Beiping Army, and the combat power was above our captive cavalry. ”

Zhai Jian and Feng Luan were overjoyed.

With 3,000 foot soldiers and 500 cavalry joining, the security situation at the Hetao stronghold was greatly improved.

Several bases are too far apart, which makes troop mobilization very troublesome, and the long-term practice of streamlining the army has further increased the difficulty of troop mobilization. The territorial reinforcements could not rush to the Hetao stronghold quickly, and Yu Buzhi had to turn to the territory of the dead party, and the Bloodpier Territory did not face external threats and had the ability to support nearby. It is widely believed that the Dragon Territory is a special territory of the Bloodpier Territory, and it is justified that the Bloodthirsty Territory will send reinforcements.

Recently, Li Chi has been busy with the activities of the ultimate group and rarely goes online, but this is not difficult to be unwise, and the downline contact is that the transfer of troops to help garrison this kind of thing must be said by the lord himself. Li Chi took the time to go online to complete the commission, and by the way, he brought news from Zhao Yunbu.

When Li Chi went online, the Beiping cavalry had already left the Piercing Blood Collar, and they didn't even know that the leader was Zhao Yun.

Xu Shu's eyes flashed.

Whether it was a private discussion with him or a public meeting, when the lord mentioned the Beiping reinforcements, he never concealed his appreciation and expectation for the reinforcements, which aroused Xu Shu's strong curiosity.

Xu Shu is the commander of the Zhulu Army and knows the strength of the troops best.

Due to financial constraints, the scale of the Zhulu Army is limited, but no one will think that the strength of the Zhulu Army is not good, and the performance of the Zhulu Army in various battles has also proved the strong strength of this army again and again. There are several generals who can fight well in the Zhulu Army, the three king-level generals Qu Chen, Chen Zhi and Gan Ning, all of whom have the courage of ten thousand people, and from the news that Yu Buzhi inadvertently revealed, it seems that the evaluation of the main general of the Beiping reinforcement army is not inferior to that of several generals in the territory.

For the first time since he joined the Chase Leader, it was the first time that Yu Buzhi proposed to "let someone join at all costs".

The lord was known for his knowledge, but he was shocked by such an eager attitude.

What kind of person is that military general named Zhao Yun?

While thinking about it, Zhai Jian was speaking at this time.

"If the Assassin Blood Army and Beiping reinforcements arrive, Longling and Wild Horse Town will be relatively safe, but it is best to stop for the time being to avoid taking the initiative to provoke the Qianghu tribe......"

Xu Shu suddenly came back to his senses: "No." ”

Zhai Jian said: "What does the military advisor mean?" ”

"After the frog dragon was powerful, the dragon leader has always maintained the momentum of taking the initiative to attack, and now he is sending additional reinforcements to the dragon leader, but he suddenly changed to a defensive position, which is unreasonable, and will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Qianghu tribe. It is difficult to succeed in a peaceful transition, and it is likely to cause trouble quickly! ”

"Now we are like riding a tiger, going against the boat, not advancing or retreating, we must not have the heart to seek perfection!"

"Not only must the attack on the Qianghu tribe not be slowed down, but it must also be intensified to deter the Qianghu and plunder more people for the development of the Hetao stronghold!"
