Chapter 296: Expedition to the Xiongnu
The so-called core tent, Yang Rui also gained some understanding from Cheng Yu and Sun Qian, the core tent of the Xiongnu is generally equivalent to the city-level territory of the Han Dynasty, and the various functions within it are similar to the city territory, but the form is different.
However, the offensive and defensive attributes of the core tent are very different from those of ordinary cities, compared to the Xiongnu core horde, both offensive and defensive are more dependent on manpower, and there are fewer attributes to assist attack and defense. But under normal circumstances, in the face of the Hun cavalry and archers who are fierce and good at war, mobile and flexible, unless they have an overwhelming advantage, they are likely to be wiped out before they get close to the core tent!
The number of people who can gather in the core of the Xiongnu Tent is as little as tens of thousands, as many as 100,000 or even more than 100,000 people, and there are not a few non-core hordes and scattered nomadic Xiongnu herdsmen around, most of them are close branches or side branches with similar blood relations, it can be said that each core big tent is a small tribe, representing a branch of the Xiongnu is not an exaggeration.
Therefore, the cohesion and centripetal force of the core of the Xiongnu tent can not be underestimated, often a horn can gather 100,000, hundreds of thousands of male soldiers to come, and they can pay everything including their lives to protect the safety of the core tent, which is one of the most powerful aspects of the Xiongnu!
It is worth mentioning that no matter which level of the Xiongnu is in the army, they all have dual roles and can graze in peacetime! On the contrary, it can almost be established, ordinary Hun herdsmen can become all kinds of soldiers who can fight well at almost any time when the war comes, only the old and weak women and children are not in this ranks, and even many Hun women are also excellent soldiers when there is war!
And according to Cheng Yu and Sun Qian. The core of the Xiongnu can also migrate if the conditions are met. In order to meet the requirements of livestock breeding for aquatic weeds. Therefore, it has a certain mobility. This is a big advantage compared to the city of the Han Dynasty, no matter where the city is built, the location is fixed, and the core tent of the Xiongnu is not subject to this restriction.
Yang Rui didn't know this information before, thinking that he could deal with the Xiongnu like fighting against the Xiqiang rebels, but when he learned the information about the core account of the Xiongnu, he realized that the battle against the Xiongnu was probably not simple! Judging from the combat power and organization of the Xiongnu, its strength should be stronger and more effective than the current Xiqiang rebels!
Therefore, Yang Rui in-depth in-depth inquired about Cheng Yu and Sun Qian a lot of news about the Xiongnu, including the types of troops composed of the Xiongnu and the habitual combat methods. This is a general understanding of the overall strength of the Huns in the game.
It was only at this time that Yang Rui realized that the following task issued by Sun Qian was not simple, and it was not easy to ask to take down one or two Xiongnu core tents!
Three days passed quickly, and during this period, Yang Rui also noticed that players from the six major forces came to the outside of the Aolai Valley Pass in Dashan City one after another, and then went offline silently.
In fact, there are still a few such players, and most of them choose to go offline or stay directly outside the Aolai Peak Valley. Two or three days ago, Liu County Ling had a detailed discussion with Yang Rui, and then the trade town planned before was finally built more than 10 miles outside the valley mouth, and named "Aolai Town", which can already accommodate a large number of players in this activity, trading, accommodation, etc.
When Liu Xianling and Yang Rui finally negotiated. Yang Rui won 50% of the profits of several services including accommodation, catering and transportation in Aolai Town, as well as duty-free five categories of goods such as grain, timber, grain, wine and weapons produced in Dashan City. All other transaction tax fees will be owned by Liu County Order alone. In the first three, the teleportation array needs to be upgraded in the territory before it can be applied for construction, so it can't bring any profit at the moment.
Even so, tens of thousands of players are active in the vicinity of Aolai Town, and many players from different forces will set up stalls to trade after meeting, and the trading volume generated is not a few; And the accommodation in Aolai Town is all full, and this is still under the condition that Liu County has established 10 intermediate inns in one go!
The maximum number of people that can be accommodated in each intermediate inn is 400 people, and the accommodation cost per person is 250 copper coins (50 copper coins more expensive than the system inn), and the daily accommodation fee is 100 gold coins, and this consumption costs almost nothing.
At the same time, these 4,000 guests have to eat and drink, and the costs incurred are almost several times higher than the accommodation itself, and the profits are also not low.
The flow of people in Aolai Town is basically directed at Yang Rui or Dashan City, so when Yang Rui proposed to share and part of the self-produced goods to be tax-free, Liu County Ling also agreed happily. It can be said that the construction of Aolai Town has also brought initial stable income to Dashan City.
Putting these aside, when the time came for Yang Rui and the six major player organizations to agree on the conquest of the Huns, the players who were originally offline in Aolai Town or around Dashan City all logged in and entered the game, heading towards the agreed assembly point outside the valley mouth of Aolai Peak.
I have to admit that these large player forces are still very good at order integration, and the nearly 100,000 players who are chaotic have become orderly in less than half an hour, and there is still nearly half an hour left before the agreed last time.
In fact, Yang Rui has always been a little worried, because this time the mission of conquering the Xiongnu did not indicate whether the 100,000 troops he brought belonged to the same strength, nor did it say whether the same person was needed to command, so until the last moment, Yang Rui was still not sure in his heart.
"Brother Lieyang, why don't we start a little earlier?"
Seeing that many players had gathered, the bosses of the various forces exchanged glances with each other, and then traced the dragon soul and spoke.
"Okay."
Yang Rui agreed, and at the same time took out the requisition token.
"System prompt: Do you want to use a levy token?"
"Yes!"
"System prompt: The number of troops and command meet the requirements of the mission, you can use the levy token to carry out related tasks, the countdown starts, 10-9-8"
When Yang Rui finally took out the requisition token, the system prompt finally made Yang Rui's heart settled, but at the same time, Yang Rui secretly pinched a cold sweat, although it is not necessary that all 100,000 troops belong to the same strength, but it requires that the person who leads the team to carry out the task must have a command value of 100,000 points!
And Yang Rui actually met this requirement, which shows that Yang Rui's current command has exceeded 100,000 points! Then there is only one explanation - after being rewarded as the Qingzhou Thorn History, Yang Rui's command has been further improved! Yang Rui only has 50,000 points as a partial general, but fortunately he was rewarded in time for the post of Qingzhou Assassin, otherwise he would not be able to start the task of crusading against the Huns, but he didn't expect the position of Qingzhou Assassin to come at the right time!
As for the specific commander of the post of assassin, Yang Rui is not very clear, and this point is not specifically stated in the introduction of the official position. However, if you think about it, you can understand that when the princes asked for Dong in the historical facts, many of them were carried out by the assassins with troops, and the number of people was often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, which shows that the command of the post of assassin is indeed not low.
At the end of the countdown to the quest, Yang Rui and the 100,000 people of the six major player forces were all teleported to a vast place, and the scenery here was different from the previous outside of Dashan City.
Here, the sky is blue, the white clouds are clear, the earth is flat and vast, the green grass extends to the edge of the sky, there are flocks of horses and sheep, the color of the coat is particularly bright, and it is like the clouds on the ground slowly drifting by, and every qiē looks very clean.
Most of the people came to the grassland for the first time in the game, and most of them were attracted by the scenery in front of them, and the players were ready to go into battle from the beginning, but when they arrived here, they found that there was a shadow of the enemy?
Despite this, Yang Rui, including the bosses of the six major players, did not dare to be careless, and Yang Rui had already revealed to these bosses what he had learned about the Huns, even if there were 100,000 players who came this time, the situation was still not too optimistic.
"First of all, let's deploy it uniformly by the Lieyang brothers, and then we will discuss with each other in case of emergency, if we need to disperse the action, let's each bring their own troops, do you think it is feasible?"
Trace* Dragon Soul looked at the expressions of the other bosses, and first mentioned yì. This mention was immediately unanimously approved by several other people, and Yang Rui was pushed out again.
"In that case, you might as well send someone to probe the surrounding situation first, what do the bosses think?"
Yang Rui took over and said. After all, the players who participated in this mission to conquer the Huns did not belong to the same forces, and they were all players from the largest forces, so Yang Rui only asked in the tone of asking for opinions, so as not to be unconvinced.
Hearing Yang Rui's words, the bosses of several major player forces had no opinions, and nodded in agreement, but they didn't mean to send someone to remove the investigation. Yang Rui also expected this, thinking that the personnel of such a few major player forces would make do with it, there must be a lot of ideas of "waiting", "relying on", and "comparing", and it is not easy to let any of them take the initiative to contribute more!
So Yang Rui took the lead in sending his own 42 fifth-order thief leader soldiers, although the investigation itself has a certain danger, but it is also very important to grasp the information and the overall situation, which is also the reason why Yang Rui took the initiative to send troops to investigate. In the case of players from other forces going to investigate, Yang Rui may not be able to rest assured, saying that the investigation will not succeed, but will expose his own existence!
The strength of the Xiongnu is different from the previous Yellow Turban and Xiqiang rebels, the cavalry and archers of the Xiongnu are not to be underestimated in terms of combat power and speed, and the 5th order thief leader may not be able to match this point, so Yang Rui repeatedly instructed these soldiers to be careful when he sent the thief leader out to investigate, try to do covert reconnaissance, and try to keep the detection distance (to be continued......
