Chapter 117: Exploration

The ranks of the Yellow Turban Army wandering nearby became denser and denser, although the Yellow Turban Army was completely unvigilant, but Ye Feng did not dare to make the movement too big.

A few pathfinder teams were dispatched to adjust the route of the march according to the information constantly being sent, trying to avoid the Yellow Turban Army.

With so many professionals, he found another advantage, that is, the command of soldiers was faster and more efficient, especially some suggestions from Qi Xiu to make the team's route smoother.

It's no wonder that NPC armies will join many professionals, soldiers can only carry out orders, except for those with particularly good qualifications, who can generally serve as a commander at most, and once they serve as centurions, they will be a little scrambling.

Therefore, when there are less than 100 people, there is no problem, and once there are more than 100 people without the assistance of professionals, the execution of orders will lag a little.

Now it is not a big problem when the number of people is small, but once the number of people is large, all kinds of problems will arise whether it is marching or fighting.

And through chatting with Qi Xiu, Ye Feng knew that strategists are also different types, and strategists need to read some books on the art of war, so they all know a little bit about marching and fighting.

However, there are also differences in direction, for example, some people are good at battlefield strategy, so they can seek victory by arranging troops; Some people are good at battlefield blessings, and the blessing lasts longer or has a better effect, so they can seek victory by improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers; Some can even extend the meaning of the battlefield, the so-called city and country, so they can seek victory through the layout outside the battlefield.

Obviously, the last one who plans the city and the country is the real master of the strategist, and Qi Xiu, a fifth-order strategist, focuses on blessings on the battlefield, and he is only half-baked in front of this kind of person.

Ye Feng listened enthusiastically, I really want to see this kind of strategist, I believe that most historical celebrities do not have this level.

I used to think that the 4th order is the talent of a county, and the 6th order is the talent of a county, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of the real talents in the world, he once again broadened his horizons, this world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, wonderful.

After half a day, the Yellow Turban Army, which had already approached the besieging city, was getting denser and denser, and Ye Feng could only ask everyone to put on the Yellow Turban that he had collected before.

This can at least mislead many enemies, but you need to be ready to fight at all times, and the equipment cannot be replaced, which is still a bit conspicuous.

Hey, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't met a single player along the way, and there weren't many players in Zhang'an County, and it seemed that the players who stayed in the county town were surrounded in the city before they had time to join the Yellow Turban Army.

Players won't be as stupid as NPCs, and once they encounter it, there will be some trouble, and now it's really a heavenly help.

"My lord, there is an enemy about two kilometers to the right, and the number is more than five thousand." At this time, a pathfinder team came back to report.

"Well, looks like we'd better hide. Are there any abandoned villages in the area? Ye Feng came back to his senses and said.

Qi Xiu pointed ahead and said, "There is an abandoned village behind the woods not far ahead, why don't you go there?"

Ye Feng looked at the past, it was indeed not far away, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's the village in front."

So the team walked more than 200 meters, and then passed through a forest more than 100 meters wide, and arrived at their destination.

Seeing this abandoned high-level village, Ye Feng's pupils shrank, judging from the layout, this should be a player's territory, and the number of farmland is far more than that of NPC villages.

When did this player territory exist? He was very puzzled, this was the first time he had discovered the player's territory in Zhang'an County.

But now that no one can answer his doubts, the player's territory was obviously destroyed in the hands of the Yellow Turbans, and there are still dry seedlings in the farmland.

Ye Feng knew from the forum that many players with territories in the hard-hit areas of the Yellow Turbans could only join the Yellow Turban camp, but now the population of most of the territories was still taken away by the Yellow Turban Army, and once returned to the pre-liberation period.

The only benefit of joining the Yellow Turban faction is that you can keep the wealth of the territory, and all lord players who join the Yellow Turban faction complain.

As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and now it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army, which only knows that it is destroyed, to maintain its prosperity for a long time.

There was nothing left in the village that could be taken, but fortunately the houses were not destroyed, and the team all hid in them, and the village became quiet again for a while.

The reconnaissance team did not let Ye Feng wait for a long time, and in less than half an hour, the news that the Yellow Turban Army had moved away was returned, and the team left the village and advanced again.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the team passed through a forest, and the reconnaissance team came again to report that this place was only more than a kilometer away from the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city.

This place is at least 5 kilometers away from the county seat, and you can imagine how huge the population of the Yellow Turban Army is.

Ye Feng immediately asked the team to hide on the spot, and if he went any further, he would definitely attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army.

He originally wanted to infiltrate the Yellow Turban Army to find out the news, but he was severely stopped by Qi Xiu, and as a territory, he should not take risks at will.

In the end, Qi Xiu took Sun Cheng to investigate after disguise, Qi Xiu considered the problem more comprehensively and was able to find out more information, and Sun Cheng was responsible for protecting him.

After walking nervously for an afternoon, Ye Feng took the rest of the people and started to eat dinner, although because he didn't dare to make a fire, he could only gnaw on dry food, but it felt really good that someone under his command could do things.

More than two hours later, Qi Xiu and the two quietly returned.

After taking a sip of the water handed over by Ye Feng, Qi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Lord, the Yellow Turban Army still provides three meals a day, and each meal provides a bowl of gruel."

"Oh, it seems that there is no shortage of food for the Yellow Turban Army at the moment." Ye Feng touched his chin and said.

Qi Xiu nodded and said, "Not bad." In addition, the Yellow Turban Army besieged but did not attack, and only launched two attacks in the county, the first was more than half a month ago after the Yellow Turban Army besieged the city for three days, and the second time was ten days ago. ”

Ye Feng thought carefully and said: "It seems that there is enough food in the county, and there is no hurry to break through."

"Hmm. And the people in the county should have estimated that the Yellow Turban Army would be in chaos sooner or later. Qi Xiu and Ye Feng discussed this issue, and the two of them also had the same opinion.

"Yes. The Yellow Turban Army is not engaged in production, and sooner or later the grain will run out, and then there will inevitably be chaos. "The amount of food that can be plundered is limited, and the rest is in the county town and the small town of the powerful and powerful family, and it is no less difficult to break through these towns than it is to break through the county seat, which is basically impossible.

In the past, the bandit leader Yan Baihu was able to capture the three county towns because of the help of the local Haoqiang family, Yan Baihu was born in Haoqiang, and tried his best to restrain his subordinates not to plunder the Haoqiang family, so he was able to get their support.

Now the Yellow Turban Army plundered the Haoqiang family, which has become a thorn in the side of most Haoqiang families, and with the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Zhang'an County, it is only possible to break through the county seat when the food in the city is exhausted.

In fact, Ye Feng was a little hesitant about whether to break through the besieging Yellow Turban Army, because this would cause many ordinary Yellow Turbans to lose their food sources.

But thinking that when the Yellow Turban Army ran out of food, and the ordinary Yellow Turban would have no way to live, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he could only save as many people as possible at that time.

"How do you think we should break the enemy, sir?" Ye Feng asked Qi Xiu.
