Chapter 482: Approaching Puyang

Although the number of Liu Dai's troops who retreated from Qingxian, Faping, and Dong'e was nearly 10,000, all of them were soldiers above the 4th order, and even nearly 10% of the 5th order foot soldiers, and the number of long-range archers was also hundreds, and the total number was four times the number of Gao Shun's soldiers.

However, such a force was still passive in the face of cavalry, especially in the flat and open land south of Qing County, nearly 10,000 soldiers of Liu Dai's troops suffered a great loss from the more than 2,500 cavalry commanded by Gao Shun.

Originally, the combat power of the cavalry was half a rank higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the fifth-order cavalry was close to the strength of ordinary soldiers at the 6th order, while almost all of Liu Dai's retreating troops were ordinary foot soldiers.

Coupled with the blessing of Gao Shun's first-level auxiliary stunt - "Trapping", the attack and defense of the cavalry soldiers increased by 100% at the same time, and it was not difficult to deal with the retreating 10,000 Liu Dai soldiers as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.

After Gao Shun led the cavalry to appear, he cut into Liu Dai's troops like a sharp blade, and completely defeated the opponent in a burst of killing!

After half an hour of rushing around, Gao Shun's pursuit battle became the largest number of enemies destroyed since Yang Rui and Liu Dai were launched, and the final number of Liu Dai's troops killed was almost two-thirds of the total.

After the first battle, Gao Shun led the crowd to obtain more than 2,000 copies of the 4th level skill book, more than 100 copies of the 5th level skill book, and other materials such as gold coins were not a few

After Yang Rui learned of the achievements of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo, he was relieved, and asked the messengers to convey some words of encouragement, and then waved his army towards the direction of the county seat of Li County.

Two days later, Yang Rui led the crowd to take the county seat of Li County. Kill more than 2,000 enemies. More than 2,000 soldiers were captured. Obtained more than 600 skill books for the promotion of soldiers of various ranks, including more than 100 long-range archer skill books, more than 10,000 gold coins, equipment and other items.

Among these items, one of the drawings was the most valuable, Yang Rui never thought that it would be obtained in a county like Li County, and after getting it, Yang Rui regarded it as a treasure.

"Hunting Bow Blueprint: After learning, you can make a zuò hunting bow, which is mainly used for hunting, and can be used if the force value exceeds 50 points. 10 units of wood are required. 1 unit of animal tendon or other material for making a bowstring. Requirements: Intermediate Carpenter, Intermediate Carpenter. ”

This drawing seems to be just a very ordinary item, but Yang Rui knows its great value, and the key is the sentence "The force value can be used if the force value exceeds 50 points"! This fiery bow is not restricted to archers, but can be used by anyone with more than 50 strength.

In this way, its significance is great, although the attributes of the drawings indicate that the main purpose of the hunting bow is for hunting, but there is no problem with applying it to defend the city, even if its attack power is not too high, if tens of thousands of people use it together, it is equivalent to tens of thousands of extra archers out of thin air!

At present, the number of long-range archers in Yang Rui's hands is relatively limited. In addition to the two or three thousand that he had slowly accumulated, it was the 10,000 fourth-order archers that Yang Rui had blackmailed Dong Zhuo. Such a quantity is simply not enough for the entire Qingzhou.

Previously, after Zhang Ning made a synergistic talisman seal, Yang Rui also thought that this kind of talisman could be used as a regular bow and arrow, and then he could create a long-range archer needed for temporary emergency use.

However, in that way, the number of synergistic talismans consumed is definitely quite a lot, not to mention how much it costs, etc., it is a little difficult for Zhang Ning to make it alone.

Now with this hunting bow drawing, it is different, as long as Yang Rui needs it, he can piece together a large number of long-range forces, and the effect will be obvious.

And the size of the long-range attack power is not completely determined by the attributes of the bow and crossbow used, but also has a lot to do with the user's own attributes, arrow attributes, and the environment and terrain used, the same is a hunting bow, if the 5th order soldier uses it, it must be higher than the 2nd order soldier's attack power, and the use of the fine iron feather arrows that are special to the mountain castle is also higher than the ordinary arrow, if it is used to defend the city, the height of the city wall will also increase the attack power accordingly.

Another key point is that the materials required to make zuò hunting bows are very ordinary, which is destined to be infinitely promoted! Yang Rui has not obtained drawings that are many times better than the quality of hunting bow drawings, but it is just that it is difficult to promote due to the limitations of materials used to make zuò.

For example, Yang Rui once got a drawing of a bamboo and wood longbow before, and only 9 grades of wood are needed to make zuò, and the requirements are not too high, but it is still an exclusive weapon for archers, and others can't use it!

Therefore, such as bamboo and wood longbow drawings, Ge ship drawings, small transport ship drawings, etc., although they all have a lot of economic and use value, but in comparison, the seemingly ordinary hunting bow drawings have a greater strategic value!

And it is very obvious that the system strictly limits the probability of such drawings, and Yang Rui has always been paying attention to the production of drawings with promotion value to make profits, but he is still surprised and surprised by the appearance of this drawing!

"From now on, try to gather the middle-level and above carpenters in all the places you pass through!"

After Yang Rui got the drawing of the hunting bow, he quickly issued an order to the soldiers of his department, he wanted to produce the hunting bow to the maximum, and naturally the number of carpenters above the intermediate level was not small.

Manufacturing drawings are generally learned by a technician, and then can be coordinated with other qualified technicians to form a complete production line, drawing production skills can not be learned by others, but can complete a certain section of the production line.

Of course, some manufacturing drawings require a mechanic to master the core, and a certain number of other mechanics to assist in mastering, such as building ships, ships, and fighting ships.

In the county-level city, generally all industries are very complete, the number of carpentry workshops and carpenters will naturally not be small, and there is no shortage of other types of life occupations.

Unless it is a life occupation with a high level or special production skills that will be valued by Yang Rui, ordinary life professionals in Qingzhou have been able to meet all kinds of production needs.

Now that there are hunting bow manufacturing drawings, it is different, and the intermediate carpenter can create a huge value for Yang Rui, and naturally all those who can be abducted will be abducted.

However, Yang Rui also made it clear that in the process of collecting carpenters above the intermediate level, he still can't use force, mainly relying on personal will. As long as he is willing to go to Qingzhou, Yang Rui has offered generous conditions, directly settled with grain, and can move his family to Qingzhou to ensure that everyone can eat well.

The conditions may seem very simple, but in such a year of famine and war, it is undoubtedly attractive, and nearly half of the NPC carpenters in Li County actually agreed after being invited by Yang Rui.

Among them, Qingzhou's reputation is also an important reason.

Originally, there were many senior carpenters in Yang Rui's army, who were responsible for the disassembly and assembly of the rushing car and the ladder, and after getting the hunting bow manufacturing drawings, Yang Rui finally couldn't help but be curious, and directly asked one of the senior carpenters to learn the drawings and make a hunting bow on the spot in Li County.

The hunting bow's own attack power is comparable to that of the short bow, with only a 10-point attack limit, but Yang Rui's focus is not on this, the key is to confirm that the hunting bow can indeed be used by ordinary soldiers, without being limited by the type of soldier!

Of course, this high-level carpenter, who has mastered the skills of bow-making, needs to be carefully protected.

Yang Rui was able to obtain the hunting bow manufacturing drawings is a great gain, and at the same time, Yang Rui also obtained about 80,000 points of plot merit points and points respectively, but the number of soldiers Yang Rui lost was very small, the only pity was that the contribution value of the princes seemed to no longer be transferred at this time.

After generally appeasing the NPC people in Li County, and ordering the middle-level and above carpenters to stay in the city to prepare for the housewarming of their families, Yang Rui led his troops to go straight to Juancheng.

A day later, Yang Rui's troops have surrounded Juancheng, and in the next three days, Yang Rui ordered his troops to use rushing cars to attack the city every day, and after three days, the long-range archers on the walls of Juancheng have been almost reduced, and Yang Rui let Zhang Ning take action again and took Juancheng in one go.

It's not that Yang Rui doesn't want Zhang Ning to make a direct move, Juancheng County, as a city close to Puyang City, is itself a high-level city, the height of the city wall is the same as the height of the rushing car, and there are a certain number of 6th-order archers on the city wall, which can already suppress Zhang Ning's casting distance.

In the Battle of Juancheng, Yang Rui's troops killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers, captured more than 4,000 soldiers, and obtained more than 3,000 copies of the promotion skill books of all ranks, including more than 200 copies of the 6th level long-range archer skill books.

From this point of view, Liu Dai is still very strong in terms of high-level long-range archers, Yang Rui has not seen the other party's sixth-order archers appear when he clashed with Qiao Mao before, and he doesn't know when Liu Dai trained them.

Every prince should not be underestimated!

After taking Juancheng, Yang Rui also obtained more than 20,000 gold coins, a number of other equipment, food and other items, which was enough for Yang Rui's army for a few days.

At this point, Yang Rui has beaten down several cities in Fuyang, Wuyan, Shouliang, Fanxian, and Juancheng, and has been extremely close to Liu Dai's old nest in Puyang City, and the number of prisoners captured by Yang Rui in Liu Dai's camp has exceeded 10,000!

With such a large number of captives, it also took up a lot of Yang Rui's troops to take care of him, plus he had to gather middle-level and above carpenters in Juancheng, and waited for the news of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo's army, so Yang Rui ordered his troops to stop in Juancheng and take a rest.

After another two days, another line of soldiers and horses finally came with the news that Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo had taken the two county towns of Yangping and Dongwuyang, and then advanced in the direction of Guanxian.

Yang Rui also rose from the camp and went straight to the direction of Fox City.

The two cities of Guanxian City and Lihu City are already the last barrier of Puyang! (To be continued......)
