272 The rise of the warlords of Maten

The roaring sound of iron hooves broke through the silence of the Wusheling Ridge on the outside of Gulang Gorge.

The player troops who were ambushed inside and outside the Gulang Gorge saw the group of NPC Qiang cavalry appear, and they were shocked and fell to the ground one after another, not daring to act rashly. They felt very strange, why had the government's grain transport team just arrived in Gulang Gorge when the Qiang troops came? The time card is so accurate!

A group of Qiang cavalry wandered around the Gulang Gorge for a short while, and a few leaders pointed to the Gulang Gorge and said something. Although a small number of players were spotted in the canyon, they didn't care and rushed into the canyon.

After the Qiang cavalry entered the canyon, the players raised their heads and wiped a cold sweat. Now the canyon is going to be lively.

......

After watching Cheng Qiu lead 3,000 halberd armorers and escort the baggage convoy into Gulang Gorge, Pang De sneered indifferently, pulled the reins, turned back to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Lord Xiaobai, Lord Cheng has already gone in, should we also go in?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "The huge person is invited first, and I follow!" ”

Pound, without saying much, ordered his thousand cavalry troops to slowly enter the gorge.

Pang De led the troops in, Zhan Xiaobai still didn't move, he was almost sure that there would be a battle in the canyon - if there was no big battle here, after leaving Gulang Gorge, then there would be no more suitable place for fighting.

Cheng Qiu's 3,000 NPC Halberd Armor Troops, Players' Tens of Thousands of Grain Robbery Troops, Pang De's 1,000 NPC Xiliang Iron Cavalry Troops, and Cottage NPC Thieves Troops...... There may also be Qiang NPC rebels who have not yet "appeared", and they will choose to fight here. There is no skill or strategy to speak of in this kind of chaotic war, it is purely strength and luck, and those who are lucky will survive.

No matter who wins or loses the battle in the canyon, it doesn't have much to do with Zhan Xiaobai, and he doesn't want to get involved.

There are only two roads in and out of the 450 trucks, one is the west side of Gulang Gorge (entrance) and the other is the east side of Gulang Gorge (exit), and there is no third road to go. If the baggage cart successfully exited the east side of Gulang Gorge, it would mean that Chengqiu's troops had gained an advantage. If the baggage cart returned from the west, it meant that the Chengqiu troops were finished.

Whoever grabs the wagon carrying grain must always enter and exit through two entrances and exits.

He only needed to take his 500 cavalry troops to guard the west and wait for the opportunity to move. It's best to get grain and grass at the west entrance, and if you can't, it doesn't matter, just don't pit yourself in.

More than 30 food protection players hesitated and discussed, "Do we want to go in?" "Pound has led his army in, there shouldn't be any danger, right?" "But the little white boss hasn't moved yet, he must know something...... He won't go in, so what are we going to do in there? "Then let's stay here and wait!"

In just five or six days, these more than 30 food protection players have become accustomed to watching Zhan Xiaobai's actions to take action, and there are many benefits to following Zhan Xiaobai's actions. The food protection players and Zhan Xiaobai waited on the west side of Gulang Gorge to see what would happen in the canyon.

Soon, a large number of village players who had robbed grain arrived, looked at more than thirty grain guards outside the canyon strangely, and then rushed into the canyon in groups. There were hundreds of thousands of people in a group of them, half a cup of tea, not to mention dozens of groups of players entering the canyon.

A few of the food guards couldn't help it, jumped up, and rushed into the canyon with hundreds of their own NPC soldiers, and got involved in the chaos.

......

"Kill!"

In the canyon, I don't know which side made the first move, and the sound of fighting broke out suddenly, thousands of NPCs and player troops, people turned their horses on their backs, arrows were "chaotic" and "shooting", and rolling stones roared.

The momentum is so big, not to mention the people in the canyon, even if more than 30 food protection players such as Zhan Xiaobai outside the canyon hear it, they will all change their "color" - there is indeed an ambush!

"Grain Protection Mission Tips: The grain team has encountered a group of robbers, please rescue quickly!"

"Grain Protection Mission Tips: The grain team has encountered a group of bandits, please rescue quickly!"

The constantly refreshed mission hints show that the surface food team has encountered at least dozens of robbers - they should all be player robbers, and there are so many of them. The food protection players were a little restless, looking at the situation, Cheng Qiu's 3,000 armor soldiers couldn't hold on, and the baggage carts were all robbed by the players.

Several grain protection players came to Zhan Xiaobai and asked, "Boss Xiaobai, should we make a move?" Otherwise, the food will be robbed. ”

"Wait, in half an hour, it's almost there."

Zhan Xiaobai's demeanor is natural and has no special expression.

......

Five minutes later, "Grain Protection Mission Tips: The grain team has been attacked by the Qiang cavalry, please rescue quickly!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai frowned secretly, the Qiang people really came.

Fifteen minutes later, "Grain Protection Mission Prompt: The grain team was attacked by the Qiang people, Cheng Qiu, the first commander of the grain team, was killed by the Qiang generals, and the three thousand halberd armorers were scattered. Adjutant Pound was automatically promoted to the first commander of the grain team. ”

Damn, Cheng Qiu, it's just hanging up, it's a pity! Originally, I was thinking about how to use this ball in the future, but Zhan Xiaobai couldn't help but feel sorry.

Twenty minutes later, "Grain Protection Quest Hint: Pound repelled the Qiang generals, and the Qiang people retreated." ”

Zhan Xiaobai was not surprised, before Cheng Qiu hung up, he had never seen Pang De make a move. As soon as Cheng Qiu died, Pang De immediately moved to repel the Qiang people, and Pang De obviously wanted Cheng Qiu to die in the hands of the Qiang people. The Qiang cavalry appeared in Gulang Gorge so "coincidentally", but I am afraid that it is inseparable from the military Sima Ma Teng, who is on the border battlefield of Wuwei County.

Look at the time is almost up, the dead are dead, the retreats are retreating, the robbery is almost over, it's time to end.

Zhan Xiaobai led 5 NPC generals, 500 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and 2000 NPC foot soldiers of nearly 30 grain protection players to enter the Gulang Gorge vigilantly. Their force is also quite powerful.

In the Gulang Gorge, the passage for dozens of miles was full of broken weapons and equipment, scattered copper coins, and sundries that had fallen to the ground, except for some valuable, no player had the heart to pick them up. From time to time, you can see groups of thirty or fifty players shouting and fighting with each other, killing each other for snatching one or two baggage carts.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally saw a large group of NPC troops and player troops fighting in front of them.

A narrow river valley,

NPC historical general Pang Dezheng led a thousand cavalry, gathered more than 1,500 armor soldiers who were scattered, and tried to retreat under the cover of the remaining 300 or so baggage vehicles. And tens of thousands of player troops are desperately attacking, frantically snatching the baggage trucks.

The terrain of this section of the valley is very unfavorable, and Pound, although he is strong, single-handedly kills a few back and forth among the players. Unfortunately, his troops did not have the ability to form a formation in the canyon, and were squeezed by the players in the low-lying part of the valley, and could only barely resist the attacks of tens of thousands of player troops, and they also had to withstand the attack of arrows from the sky, and suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at today's situation, if there is no accident, the entire food team will be swallowed by the player. Even if Pound could lead a small number of cavalry troops to break through, he would not be able to take a grain of food with him.

The appearance of Zhan Xiaobai's "friendly" troops boosted the morale of the besieged Pound troops. If Zhan Xiaobai supports them, he may be able to open a breakthrough from the rear and break out.

The players who were attacking Pound's troops in a big way were all taken aback when they saw the appearance of Zhan Xiaobai's troops.

As a player in Wuwei County, there is no one who doesn't know Zhan Xiaobai. Being in Wuwei, dealing with Xiaobaizhen is almost unavoidable, and many armaments and materials can only be obtained from Xiaobaizhen. In the past ten months, the deeper the relationship, the more complicated their feelings have become.

Their admiration and worship of Zhan Xiaobai, their awe of Xiaobai Town's strength, their concerns about Zhan Xiaobai's superb skills, and their suspicion of Xiaobaizhen's large-scale expansion are all intertwined, and it is difficult for players in other states and counties to understand.

Don't look at the tens of thousands of players on their side, there are only more than 2,500 people on Zhan Xiaobai's side. But they were scattered troops from dozens of villages, rushing for the food and grass of the government, and there was not even a single leader with enough prestige among them. As long as Zhan Xiaobai doesn't fight them, most of them are unwilling to fight Zhan Xiaobai's troops.

Offending NPCs is not the same as offending players. If you offend an NPC, the NPC may not be able to recognize you, and if you offend the player, it will be troublesome.

......

Zhan Xiaobai saw the battle in the river valley and had a headache.

This battle has been fought so far, and in order to grab food and grass, the village players have killed and injured tens of thousands of people, not to mention tens of thousands of people, and they have all killed red eyes, will they give up the fat that is about to arrive? Definitely not. Whoever wants to move grain and grass is a tiger's mouth to grab food, and he must work hard.

Zhan Xiaobai thinks that he doesn't have this strength, so he can make tens of thousands of players take the initiative to retreat.

So he ordered the troops to stop advancing.

His troops were only nearly two miles away from Pound's troops. Sit on the mountain and watch the battle. Apparently not intending to participate in the battle at hand.

The player troops breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, as long as Zhan Xiaobai didn't participate, they wouldn't be embarrassed by Zhan Xiaobai, and stepped up their attacks on the NPC troops.

Pang De was quite disappointed, but helplessly, in this bad situation, he couldn't blame Zhan Xiaobai for not saving him, so he could only shout loudly and order his subordinates to defend closely.

......

"System news from all over China: Liangzhou assassinated Geng's subordinates in rebellion, and Geng was killed. Liangzhou fell into a leaderless situation. ”

"System news from the whole China: Sima Ma Teng of the Liangzhou Army rose up, led his subordinate officers and soldiers to announce an uprising, and built his own Ma Teng warlord forces! The warlord power of Ma Teng officially appeared in the Western Liang border of the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

"System news from the whole of China: Ma Tengjun announced that he would make peace with the Qiang rebels, stop the war, and rule the land. Xiping County and Jincheng County belong to the territory of the Qiang people, and Wuwei County and Anding belong to the territory of the Ma Teng warlords. ”

......

The successive system messages were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shocking the entire Liangzhou and players all over the world!

The warlord of Ma Teng has risen in Liangzhou!

The assassin of Liangzhou is killed, and the entire Liangzhou will no longer belong to the imperial court, but will be ruled by NPC warlords.

In the Gulang Gorge, which had just shouted to kill the sky, there was a dead silence. Players are armed with knives, guns, and wooden shields, and their mouths are wide open as if they have eaten duck eggs, digesting this amazing news. The Pang De troops in front of him no longer belong to the imperial court, but to the Ma Teng warlord troops.

Pound and his subordinates couldn't receive the system news, and when they saw tens of thousands of people stunned, they didn't know what was going on, and they were stunned and didn't dare to act rashly.

Zhan Xiaobai's mind turned sharply. The first thing he has to consider now is not the imperial court, but the warlord Ma Teng, the local force that dominates Xiliang. Only by maintaining a relationship with Ma Tengjun can we survive safely in Wuwei County.

In other words, Pang De's army cannot be wiped out here by the player, otherwise the enmity between the villages of Wuwei County and the Ma Teng Army will be great.

There needs to be someone of sufficient weight to defuse this crisis.

The only one who can play this role is himself.

Thinking of this, Zhan Xiaobai rode up to the top of the slope next to him alone, and shouted at the tens of thousands of players and NPCs in the river valley: "Huge people, and brothers from various villages in Wuwei, let's end this battle today, both of us have suffered heavy casualties, and it will be bad for both sides to fight any longer!" Brother, I have a suggestion: the troops of huge people come out. As for the baggage wagons, they were left in place and divided among the brothers in each village, which was considered compensation. This is the best solution. Huge people, brothers, what do you think? ”

The players and NPCs in the canyon were silent for a moment.

Pound was naturally unwilling to fight, and if he continued to fight, the entire army would be wiped out in this valley in an hour. Although the baggage vehicles are important, it is still cost-effective to exchange them for the safety of the entire army.

Players are even more reluctant to fight. Their purpose was originally to grab grain and grass, if it wasn't for Pound to pull the baggage cart away, who would want to spend troops with NPCs? It is best to be able to get food and grass without fighting.

Pang De took the initiative to express his position and ordered his subordinates to abandon the baggage cart and close the remaining troops, a total of more than 600 Xiliang iron cavalry and more than 1,200 Ge Halberd armor soldiers, and separated from the baggage cart.

Tens of thousands of players tacitly gave up a passage and let them out. Then the villages divided the grain and grass of the three hundred wagons. As for how to divide it, it is a matter between the villages.

"Grain protection mission news: Pound ordered to give up grain and grass, and the mission failed! Pound, the chief of grain transportation, is wanted by the government. ”

After Pang De led the troops out, he walked towards Zhan Xiaobai in a rather complicated way, and said: "Lord Xiaobai, thank you for breaking the siege, I will wait for my brothers!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "You're welcome." Huge man, are you going back to Wuwei City now, or are you going to the Wuwei border battlefield? ”

Pang De thought for a moment and said, "If the grain transportation fails, Wuwei City can't go back." Let's go to the border battlefield and see how the battle goes. ”

Zhan Xiaobai knew that he must be going to join Ma Teng, so he didn't ask much, and said, "Oh, it's okay, the huge people go all the way!" Also, take me to greet Master Marten. ”

Pang De was slightly surprised, and led the remnants of the army to leave, out of the Gulang Gorge, and rushed to the Wuwei border battlefield.

Zhan Xiaobai did not delay, and immediately led 500 cavalry subordinates to urgently return to Xiaobai Town to deploy the largest player military operation to date.
