304 Logistics and enemy intelligence

Three months, that is, around the middle of June of the game calendar 189. After a three-month intense break, the Little White Alliance has achieved two expected goals.

One is the Xiaobai Alliance, which unifies most of the thousands of villages in Wuwei County. Although there was occasional overt or covert resistance from some villages, it could not stop the huge overwhelming power of the Little White Alliance. Most of the remaining player villages, who are reluctant to join the Alliance, are weak. The rules of the game formulated by Xiaobai Town have also been successfully implemented in the villages.

The other is that the bureaucratic system of Wuwei City has been vigorously rectified. The new Taishou Xiaobai personally affirmed the ban and strictly enforced the law and discipline, and those who violated the law would be killed regardless of the size of their official positions. Several felons were raised from Wuwei Prison to be killed with a cane. For a time, the politics of Wuwei City were clear, all the evils were amassed, and the officials who had been corrupt and perverted the law were all buried in their heads to be new people, and no NPC dared to violate the law.

Even players don't dare to do things at will in Wuwei City.

Subsequently, Zhan Xiaobai cleaned up a group of inactive and muddy NPC officials in Wuwei City, and vigorously promoted talents from the young and promising disciples of the Wuwei clan such as Jiang, Jia, and Zhang to serve in important official positions.

The clans and bureaucrats of Wuwei City began to gradually appreciate the majesty of the new Taishou, and some even did not dare to look at Zhan Xiaobai directly.

After the political clarity of Wuwei City, the economy began to improve.

On the economic front, it has adopted a deregulatory approach, reduced taxes, and encouraged free and open trade. The economy of Wuwei City was rapidly activated, and the people's morale rose rapidly. Many suburban NPCs moved into the city to live, and even a large number of caravans of Qiang and Xiongnu people appeared to trade in Weiwu City.

The improvement of these two fundamentals has made the foundation of the Xiaobai Alliance more and more solid.

......

Little White Town.

In the past three months, Zhan Xiaobai has taken the core players of Xiaobai Town to investigate and find out the bottom of Wuwei County as soon as he has time, and try to find out the bottom of the entire Wuwei County as much as possible. Are mountains, rivers, minerals, forests, land, grading land, resources, and trade in villages and towns prosperous..... All aspects of information, find out the details, know the details.

It wasn't until mid-June that Zhan Xiaobai returned to Xiaobai Town and began to preside over the dispatch of troops to Zhangye. Sending troops to Zhangye and conquest for horses was something that had been planned as early as three months ago. After three months of preparation by the Little White Alliance, it's almost time to take action.

Little White Town held a small internal high-level meeting.

Zhan Xiaobai, Jianba, Qiushui, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Ah Fei, Wutong, Tianbao, Black Tiger, Mo Xiaofeng, Bloody Heroic, Righteous Yuntian, Lingyun, Xiaojing...... Only a few dozen core players from Little White Town and its villages were in attendance.

The people knew what they were going to discuss, and they were excited.

Zhan Xiaobai glanced at everyone and said, "Regarding the matter of conquest for horse play that was determined three months ago, the time is roughly ripe. So let's discuss internally how to fight this battle and how sure we are. Fighting a war is fighting logistics, and Jianba has always been responsible for logistics support work, and now Jianba will introduce to you the basic situation of our side, so that everyone can have a deep understanding of the basic situation of both the enemy and us. ”

Zhan Xiaobai gestured to the sword bully next to his right.

Jian Ba nodded, flipped through a thick account book in his hand, and said to everyone: "The information in my hand involves the following aspects: our army's NPC soldiers and horses, generals, grain and grass, military salaries, medicines, armaments, siege equipment, and enemy intelligence. Below, I will focus on these aspects for you. ”

The crowd listened for fear of missing out on the important information.

This war is at stake, it is the largest battle in the history of Xiaobai Town, and no one dares to be sloppy. Even Ah Fei, who has always been a hanger, is sitting in a precarious position with a solemn expression.

Jian Ba paused and said, "Let's talk about the soldiers and horses first." The defenders of Wuwei City were 13,600 (8,000 heavy ge, 4,000 heavy bows, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 600 heavy guards), 2,000 defenders of Gulangxia Pass (1,000 heavy ge, 1,000 heavy bows), and 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry. The total strength was 35,600. But what we can mobilize is only part of it. Xiaobai thinks which part of the mobilization is better? ”

Zhan Xiaobai pondered for a moment and said, "I think I can only use 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as well as 4,000 heavy ges and 1,000 heavy bows stationed in Wuwei City." A total of 25,000 troops marched to Zhangye. The 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was the main force attacking the horse play army. After the capture of Zhangye City, 4,000 heavy ges and 1,000 heavy bows were to be used to defend the city. ”

Everyone glanced at each other, all of them showing worried looks.

With 25,000 troops, our military strength is very tight. Because after three months of rest, the horse play army itself has as many as 15,000 heavy armor troops, and occupies the advantage of the city's defense. They only contributed 25,000 troops, but they were afraid that they would not be able to take Zhangye City.

However, they also know that there are only so many troops that can be dispatched. The sky-high cost of recruiting troops is simply a bottomless pit, and Wuwei City can't come up with more money to recruit troops.

Seeing that everyone was worried, Qiushui immediately cheered everyone up and said, "In terms of NPC military strength, we don't have an advantage. But when it comes to player armies, we have a huge advantage. The Xiaobai Alliance can mobilize the entire Wuwei County players to participate in the war, and this force will be as many as tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 troops to fight in Zhangye, which is the largest player battle group in the entire game, which is enough to make up for the lack of NPC military strength. ”

As soon as Qiushui said this, everyone present suddenly became confident. The appeal of the Xiaobai Alliance in Weiwu County is not fake, unifying the forces of thousands of player villages in a county, and only the Xiaobai Alliance has done it in the whole game.

The Spring and Autumn Shaoxia added a question and said, "Once our army goes out to Zhangye, the guard strength of Wuwei County will decline. Han Sui and Ma Teng are likely to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and in order to prevent this situation, I think Gulang Gorge needs to double the defenders to ensure that the pass is foolproof. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Well, yes, this proposal is very good." In this way, from Wuwei City, a thousand heavy bows were dialed over, and in addition, Wang Gun and Zhao Wu also went over to assist Cheng Jian in guarding the Gulang Gorge Pass. It should be no problem to have three generals guarding Gulang Gorge. ”

Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "But in that case, the number of guards in Wuwei City will drop to six thousand six hundred, and the city will be empty." ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we hold the Gulang Gorge in the east and suppress the horse play in the west, Wuwei County is firmly controlled by us, and no one turns the sky." Sword Lord, you go ahead and explain. ”

Jian Ba continued: "On the side of the generals. This time, the little white boss personally recruited the overall situation and unified the overall situation. In addition, Jiang Xu is the chief general of the NPC, and Jiang Jiong is the deputy general, commanding 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In addition, more than 100 NPC low-level generals in Wuwei are middle- and lower-level officers, who are added to Jiang Xu's army. Hey, the lineup is luxurious, it is estimated that in the whole game, there is no second player force that can make up such a huge lineup of generals. ”

Wutong smiled: "It's still the eldest brother who is powerful, and he got Jiang Xu early, otherwise he would have no way to go on the expedition today." ”

Jiang Xu played against the war horse, according to the estimation of force, Jiang Xu had a great confidence that he could win, and there were Jiang Jiong and hundreds of NPC low-level generals to assist. This is the real killer feature of their expedition to Zhangye.

If there is no Jiang Xu to lead the army, they will not be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the NPC army, but I am afraid that they will not be willing to take the initiative to send troops to Zhangye to conquer Ma Wan, a famous warlord in Xiliang.

He sighed with enthusiasm and pride: "There are too few generals in our history, if there are one or two more powerful generals, such as Pang De under Ma Teng, or Yan Xing under Han Sui, I am afraid that it will be easy to take down the horse to play, and there is no need to go through such a big trouble now." ”

Righteous Yuntian pursed his lips, and said angrily: "Yes, you might as well invite Lu Bu to come, take three thousand light horses to Zhangye City to challenge, and you can play with the horse with a halberd." Ignore this guy, he's already paranoid. ”

Hot-blooded pride muttered, "I'm not assuming, Uncle Lu Bu, we can't afford to invite it, at most invite my brother Zilong to kill the horse." ”

The crowd laughed.

Jian Ba continued: "In terms of grain and grass. In the past three months, the grain harvest in the villages of Weiwu County has been good, and Wuwei City has collected a lot from the villages in the county. Now the city has hoarded enough grain and grass for ten months for an army of 30,000 people, a total of 900,000 stones. The army was stationed in the city and the fortress, and the amount of grain and grass consumed was less, which was one-third of the normal amount. Once you go on the expedition, you will consume all the grain and grass, and you will need to lose a lot along the way. 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry set out on the expedition, and our grain and grass could only support 4 months, and there was a danger of food shortage after 4 months. It also means that we will end the war against horses in 4 months. ”

Everyone nodded.

Mo Xiaofeng said: "Four months is enough." In my estimation, one month at the earliest, and two months at the latest, we will be able to compete with the horse play army. The most ideal is for Jiang Xu and Ma to go head-to-head directly, kill Ma Yu in front of the military formation, and win directly..... The worst case scenario is that Ma Play has been defending Zhangye City with turtle tactics from beginning to end. The main force of our army is cavalry, and it is difficult to attack the city, so we have no problem with him...... But he couldn't be so afraid of us as to go out of the city to fight, so the chances of that happening were slim. ”

Tian Leopard said: "This is natural. Ma Play doesn't look down on us, the last withdrawal was because the Marquis of Fenyang made trouble for him in the back, otherwise he would have to stay under Wuwei City for a long time. In two months, even if we don't send troops to attack him, I'm afraid he will send troops to attack us. From the mentality, Ma Play will not adopt the kind of ultra-conservative tactics to fight us, but will take the initiative to attack us. We can induce him to fight in the wilderness outside the city to avoid the disadvantages of the city. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jian said domineeringly: "Wuwei City's existing military salary is 150,000 guan, which can support 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to go on an expedition for five months, and this part of the military salary is enough." The other is medicine. Wuwei City, Xiaobai Town, and more than 20 towns in the alliance have produced a large number of Jinchuang pills and marching pills at full capacity, a total of 200,000 pills, which can basically ensure that each NPC sergeant who goes out has ten pills of Jinchuang pills and ten marching pills. In terms of maintaining blood and physical strength, our army will have a great advantage. ”

Everyone present almost gasped. 150,000 salaries and 200,000 medicines, these medicines are piled up and are about to become a mountain. The current market price of Jinchuang Pharmaceutical is 15 copper per capsule, and the marching powder is 12 copper per capsule. Here is a market value of 2.7 million copper coins, which is simply a burning of money.

Mo Xiaofeng, Black Tiger and others exclaimed.

"Why do you need so much military salary?"

"That's enough money to crush a village player."

Jian Ba didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's all taxes from Wuwei City." In addition, the trade profits of Wuwei City's official monopoly commodities are not handed over to the imperial court, so there are more. These salaries were desperately raised, otherwise the war would not have been fought. ”

But the people began to calculate the cost of this expedition.

Ah Fei carefully calculated, the 2.7 million copper of the drug is only 2,700 yuan. Hurriedly patted his chest, made a false alarm, and said: "Fortunately, the medicine is only 2.7 million copper, which is much less than the military salary of 150,000 copper." Grandma's, I can't see that this group of soldiers and cubs actually eat so much money! ”

Wutong cried and said: "Not only eat money, but also eat grain, how much is the price of 900,000 stones!" How long does it take for my Wutong Village to produce so much food? If this large amount of grain can be left, the entire Wuwei County will not be short of food. ”

Hot-blooded and proudly biting his tongue, "My mother, Lao Tzu can earn a hundred or ten yuan in a month's hard work, and this money is enough to give each of my legion brothers a set of the best high-grade armor produced in the whole game village and town, plus a war horse." ”

The sword lord looked at everyone's demeanor and said, "In addition, siege equipment is indispensable. The large-scale equipment manufacturing department of Wuwei City has manufactured a total of 20 skin crash cars and 100 large catapult vehicles. In addition, climbing ladders and the like can allow military craftsmen to make them on site around Zhangye City. 5,000 heavy infantry needed 500 small chariots, which could be built quickly with added effort. ”

He didn't say the cost of this batch of equipment, so as not to stimulate the poor people in front of him.

Jian overbearing: "This is the basic situation of our side. As for the aspect of the alliance player's village and town, it depends on Xiaobai. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Soldiers and horses, generals, grain and grass, military salaries, medicines, armaments, siege equipment, etc., the sword master has been introduced. There is also the enemy's military situation, now, Ah Fei has been deep in Zhangye County for a few months, and he understands it most clearly, you can explain the enemy's situation. ”

Ah Fei, who was still "crying" for a lot of copper just now, immediately returned to his seriousness.

"Yes!"

Ah Fei said seriously: "Ordered by the eldest brother, I, Ah Fei, am brave and fearless, and go deep into the tiger's den to investigate the top secret information of the enemy. The report is as follows: Zhangye NPC warlord Ma Play, the existing heavy armor soldiers 15000~20000, the type and specific number of troops are unknown. They were scattered and stationed in Zhangye City, as well as Shandan, Pingyuan, Linze, Gaotai and other places. Its main force is about 10,000 in Zhangye City, and about 1,000 troops in the rest of the country. Zhangye has no other famous NPC generals except for horse play. Zhangyecheng is not wealthy, and the large-scale conscription of troops a few months ago has exhausted Zhangyecheng's wealth, so it is impossible for him to recruit more troops in the short term.

In addition, the player power aspect. There are more than 1,400 player villages and towns in Zhangye County, which is about half less than our Wuwei County.

Fenyang Town, the largest player force in Zhangye County, was severely attacked by horse play and was forced to take refuge in the horse play camp. However, Ma Wan did not trust the Hou of Fenyang and forcibly disbanded the Fenyang Alliance. The Marquis of Fenyang was extremely dissatisfied with horse play, and secretly organized a group of player villages to fight against horse play.

Fenyang Town has lost its status as the strongest player village and town in Zhangye County, and there are dozens of large and small player village and town alliances in the entire Zhangye County, with hundreds of villages and towns as alliances and more than 10 villages and towns as alliances. At present, they are all dependent on horse play warlords, and there are often malicious attacks on each other, and many villages and towns have been wiped out.

According to my observations, the player villages and towns in Zhangye County are in a state of complete chaos, and if it weren't for the strong bullets of the horse play, I am afraid that hundreds of countries would have been fighting in chaos. The villages and towns of Zhangye County are not enough to confront our Xiaobai Alliance. In addition, I have sent a map player to draw a detailed map of the distribution of forces in Zhangye County, and collected all the village alliances and conflicts between the forces of various villages and towns during the visit to the friendly villages of Zhangye County, which will help our army to go to Zhangye. Going to Zhangye, our army will win! ”

After Ah Fei finished speaking, he handed the map and the collected information to Zhan Xiaobai.

The crowd applauded, "Well done!" "Hehe, Ah Fei has a lot of means."

Ah Fei immediately laughed, "Thank you, it's all thanks to everyone's wealth that I was able to complete this task!" ”

"Ah Fei's intelligence work is very meticulous and conscientious, and it lives up to my expectations. These two items will come in handy. Zhan Xiaobai took the map and information booklet of Zhangye County, flipped through it, and was satisfied.

However, the situation between the villages of Zhangye County is extremely complicated, which is beneficial to the Xiaobai Alliance to quickly take Zhangye County. However, after taking Zhangye County, the difficulty of governance is extremely high, and I am afraid that the chaos in Zhangye County will be difficult to solve for a while.

From both our logistics and enemy intelligence, they have already been prepared.
