Chapter 612: Enigmatic Territory
The aftermath of Youzhou has not subsided, and the smoke of Liangzhou has risen again. Fengxiang City is facing a severe test.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and the disaster caused by the Xiqiang war horse made the special territory Long Fei directly exposed to Han Sui's blade. Han Sui needed a large number of ordnance and war horses to equip the army, especially the high-grade Xiqiang war horses, which were not only worth a lot, but they could not be bought with money at all.
In the past, when Xian Lingqiang rebelled in Liangzhou, Han Sui first fought side by side with the Qiang people, and then turned around and killed the killer behind the Qiang people's buttocks. Therefore, it was difficult for Han Sui to directly obtain the supplement of the war horse.
This also made Han Sui's eyes light up when he learned that there were nearly a thousand Xiqiang war horses in Longfei City, Jincheng County. Han Sui learned from his subordinates that the second-tier city of Longfei was backed by the valley and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the fortifications at the mouth of the valley were so dense that it was extremely painful to capture Longfei.
Han Sui was able to rise in Liangzhou, where there were many wars in the early Three Kingdoms, and defeated many opponents one by one. It's not just his military prowess, it's his brain.
The VIP treatment enjoyed by Long Feicheng in the second wave of taxes is from Han Sui's handwriting: double the tax, which can only be paid with a war horse, test the reaction of that Long Feicheng. If Long Fei accepted this unfair treatment, it would prove that Long Fei City's strength was not as strong as the city's external defense system, and Long Fei was unwilling to turn against Han Sui's forces. In that way, Han Sui would be able to easily scavenge more wealth from Long Fei!
No matter how outstanding Long Fei was among the lord players, a second-level city territory, Han Sui didn't pay much attention to it, "It's easy to destroy those Inhuman Lords." β
It's a pity that Han Sui didn't know that the person he provoked this time was not as easy to deal with as he imagined. Long Fei in Liangzhou may not be so terrible, but don't forget that behind Long Fei, there is the first city in the world - Fengxiang!
Never say die in Fengxiang City!
Except for Ah Niu and the Five Rats of Jincheng, no player in the game knows that Fengxiang has inevitably been involved in the conflict between the lords of Liangzhou and the forces of the princes, and the reinforcements of Fengxiang City are moving towards Longfei.
The player forces in Liangzhou are working hard to prepare for a possible military conflict in more than ten days, which is a struggle related to the interests of all lord players. It's a shame that no lord wants to be exploited by the npnetpc forces!
Not only the lord players are in action, but many adventure gangs in Liangzhou have also joined, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's taxation targets are not limited to lord players, and adventure gangs with stations are also not immune.
The people in Liangzhou were indignant, shouting and beating, and the discussion on the forum on this matter continued to heat up. After some analysis, many critics came to an exciting conclusion: if all the lord players in Liangzhou resolutely resisted, Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops would be vulnerable at all, and the player's power would be a mess!
"The ten counties of Liangzhou have a total of more than 4,000 player territories, and aside from those territories that were rebuilt after their destruction, there are more than 800 territories that have reached the scale of a first-class city, but the total strength of this part of the players is four million! Han Sui and Ma Teng's combined troops are not even 100,000, and if they fight one out of forty, is it possible that they can't win? β
"It is impossible for Han Sui and Ma Teng to take out all their troops to suppress the player's resistance, they must be optimistic about the lair, in the actual war, the military advantage of the player's troops may be greater!"
"Players can continue to recruit troops, but princes cannot." β¦β¦
There were even some enthusiastic players who raised their arms on the forum and shouted: "Just strike first, send out a large army to trap Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops in the city, and beat them so that they can't go out!" β
There are many similar posts, and there is always no shortage of optimists in this world, and Ah Niu can only smile bitterly at this.
All wars throughout the ages have never been a simple contest of troops, and if the forces have an advantage, they will surely win, and there may not be so many wars in the world -- when the conflict intensifies to the point where it is necessary to solve the problem by war, it is good for the two sides to directly compare their strength, and those with fewer troops will automatically squat aside.
It is an indisputable fact that the troops of the princes' forces are higher than the troops of the lord player. Compared to the number of troops, the princes' forces are definitely not the opponents of the lord's players, and if they don't even have an advantage in quality, the princes don't deserve to be called princes.
Moreover, the total strength of the 800 first-class cities is 4 million, which is only a theoretical maximum, and in fact, it is quite difficult for the total number of troops in these territories to reach 1.5 million. Feeding the soldiers is not an easy task, and there are not many territories that have enough funds to recruit troops, and this topic is a huge challenge for Feng Xiang.
What worries Ah Niu the most is not the troops. It's about whether the players' will to resist tyranny is strong enough, everyone has their own ideas, and wanting all players to maintain the same will is tantamount to a pipe dream!
In this rebellion against tyranny, many players who seemed to be indignant and eager to fight with the princes immediately, in fact, their resistance and condemnation were limited to words, and they still waited for the results with a wait-and-see attitude, "Everyone has to resist, and it shouldn't be a big deal to miss me." β
There are not a few players with this kind of wishful thinking!
The tandem action of the Liangzhou lord players is still continuing, such a large-scale operation, it is not possible without unified command, and the city lord of Sanyang City in Jincheng County is relying on the world, and he plays such a role as a person and commander-in-chief.
The world was able to sit in this position as soon as he was able to sit in this position, thanks to the fact that he was the first to appeal to Liangzhou players on the forum after the news of the second wave of taxes came out, and he seized the opportunity; In addition, Jincheng County, where Han Sui is entrenched, must be one of the key areas of this protest operation, and the world relies on serving as the commander-in-chief of the player's forces, which is conducive to nearby scheduling.
Sanyang City, which is the first in the world, is a second-class city, although it is not ranked among the lords of the country, but its strength is firmly in the top ten in the territory of Jincheng County. Before this, Tianxia Yiyi never thought that he could be so brilliant, and because of this, he spared no effort in this Liangzhou player's "anti-tax" action.
The world is now suffering from a headache, and the situation is not unfolding in the direction he hoped!
First of all, among the lords of Liangzhou, there are still two out of ten players who have made it clear that they do not want to participate in this operation, and they would rather break the bank and avoid disasters than to fight at the risk of being removed from the territory. They were not confident in the outcome of the struggle, and once their operation failed, their township-level domains could not withstand the attack of the princes' forces. Most of the lords who took such a stance were weak nascent lords, and although their decision was disappointing, they had to admit that it was quite a pragmatic approach.
Secondly, the size of the territory reaches the territory of the first-class city. At least thirty percent of lords claim that their territories are understaffed to send troops to join the coalition.
This kind of lord player directly made the world have the urge to kill, "Draw some troops from various territories to form a coalition army, and the specific number of troops will drop again and again, and the first-level city can't even draw out a force of five hundred people?"
Mom, when everyone discusses, count those people who make the most trouble, and when it comes to the real thing, the ghost shadow can't see one, those turtle king bastards clearly don't want to send troops, waiting for others to fight hard in front, and then they pick up a ready-made! β
The size of the territory is divided into large and small, and the strength of the lord is different from the strength of the lord, and it is relatively fairer to send troops in proportion, and the world relies on the number of troops originally hoped that each territory will send troops, reaching one-half of the maximum strength of the territory, that is, the first-level city will send troops to 25oo people, and the second-level city will send troops to 5ooo people. In that way, the player coalition will have enough troops to fight a war of attrition with Han Sui and Ma Teng.
However, in the midst of opposition, the world finally had to compromise, and the number of troops sent by each territory was adjusted from one-half of the maximum force to one-tenth, even so, the formation of the player's alliance was still difficult.
"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Tianxia Yiyi now has a deeper understanding of this sentence, and at the same time, he is also aware of his lack of strength and prestige, and there is no way to control the situation.
In the battle against the vassal forces, the adventurous player can only play a supporting role, and the vassal forces can only rely on the player's NPC troops. Judging from the current progress, the coalition army of the Liangzhou player is about 300,000 at most, because half of the troops have to be divided to deal with Ma Teng's troops. The strength of the coalition forces in the Jincheng County Theater is about 150,000.
It seems that there are a lot of troops, but these troops come from more than 2,000 territories, and the equipment and training conditions of each territory are different.
The 150,000 rabble is obviously difficult to resist Han Sui's 50,000 elite divisions!
Due to the greatly reduced strength of the coalition forces, the plan of the whole world to command the army to actively seek a decisive battle by relying on the original plan was declared dead before it could be launched, and the Liangzhou player coalition army must formulate a new strategy in response to the situation.
Jincheng County, Sanyang City.
More than 100 player representatives from all over Liangzhou gathered here, most of them were lord players, and the worst ones were city lords of first-class cities. After the world relied on the general to tell the problems faced by the coalition forces, there was an uproar in the room, and no one thought that the huge "anti-tax" action was actually a manifestation of the external power and the middle of the situation.
Those claim that the forces are insufficient. The immediate family members of the city-level lords who were unable to send troops to join the coalition were greeted by the comrades present for five minutes. The selfishness and short-sightedness of those players are likely to make the efforts of other players fall short, and it can be said that all the lord players in the country are harmful.
"Trash!"
"When this is over, everyone will work together to destroy those bastards!"
"Put their names on the forum and help them become famous." β¦β¦
Five minutes later, Tianyi raised his hand, "Those players' questions will be talked about later, the most important thing now is to reformulate the battle strategy, we don't have much time to waste." β
Forcibly suppressing the anger in their hearts, the players began to rack their brains about how to win the war, and after half an hour, two resolutions were discussed.
First, through the guΓ² official website forum, calling on lord players across the country to join this war, Liangzhou players to resist the tyrannical battle of the princes' forces will directly affect the attitude of other princes' forces on additional taxes, which is related to the interests of all players.
Second, the strength of the coalition forces is limited, and there is only one result of hard fighting: defeat, and when the coalition forces that have been gathered together with great difficulty are exhausted, this vigorous struggle can only end in failure. It is a good choice to first pass guΓ² one after another to defend the city and consume the sharp energy of the princes' forces, and then fight them with a new force.
"We will definitely lose in a head-to-head confrontation, rather than letting the coalition troops be slaughtered in the field, it is better to wait for the princes' troops to show fatigue in the siege battle, and the coalition forces will take advantage of the situation to fight for complete success!" This is the consensus reached by the players at the meeting after deliberation.
Han Sui and Ma Teng's troops would not obediently attack a specific territory that was heavily prepared as the coalition army expected, and this problem was not difficult to solve, as long as a force was sent to lure the enemy after the princes' troops left the city, there was a high probability of success.
Now the question is, who wants to take out their own territory. Baptism by the troops of the princes?
The strength of Han Sui and Ma Teng's power has long been shown in the previous tax turmoil, and Ma Teng's Pang De has broken through two city-level territories one after another. Although the two first-tier cities were breached that time, and the troops were not strong enough, no one dared to be sure how long the second-level cities could withstand the attack.
Once you fail, the territory will be wiped out!
"Actually, it can be like this, when a territory attracts the troops of the princely forces, the nearby territory sends small forces to constantly harass them, find ways to destroy their supply lines, and help the attacked territory share the pressure. When the attacked territory cannot hold on, send part of the allied forces to directly inflict on the princes' troops, and find a way to fight and retreat, so as to avoid the situation that the territory is breached. β
"This battle is everyone's business, and before the battle starts, we can send a certain number of troops to the territory that attracts the princes' troops to attack, so as to increase the victory rate of the defense battle."
"Good way! But in order to withstand the attack of the princes' troops, the defense of the territory must be strong enough, the first-level cities will definitely not be able to withstand it, and only the second-level cities have the hope of holding on! β
The faces of the second-level city lords present began to turn unnatural one by one, but none of them objected. At this time, the players who can participate in the meeting in Sanyang City are the most determined main battle faction among the players in Liangzhou, relatively speaking, they have less selfishness, and everyone knows that letting a first-level city resist the attack of the coalition army is tantamount to killing people for money.
Tianxia leaned to his feet, "If you don't have an opinion, the strategy of using the second-tier city to consume the princes' troops is so decided, as for whose territory is in charge...... Of course, it is best if someone is willing to take the initiative to ask for help, if not, it will be decided by lottery. β
None of them objected.
Han Sui was in Jincheng County, and Ma Teng was in Longxi County, that is, it was necessary to select a second-level city from Jincheng and Longxi to be responsible for attracting the firepower of the princes' troops.
By the way, among the large and small gangs in Liangzhou, there is only one that is stationed in a second-tier city, and it is not in Jincheng County and Longxi County at all, and the task of luring the enemy will actually only be completed by the lord player.
"I declare in advance that this battle is in the interest of all lord players, and no matter whose territory is responsible for resisting the princes' forces, other neighboring territories must do their best to support them. In order to ensure the security of the territory, in addition to a certain number of troops, we will also set up two temporary teams to coordinate in the two theaters.
In addition, if the territories that attract the troops of the princes are attracted to the battle, there will definitely be losses in terms of troops, population, materials, money, etc., and the coalition will use the resources collected from each territory to compensate them doublely. "The world relies on Zhengrongdao.
A war is not enough for each territory to send troops, food, grass, weapons, and funds are also essential, and the Liangzhou coalition command has not forgotten this. Each territory not only has to send troops, but also has to pay the corresponding grain, grass and other materials, and the specific amount is also determined by the size of the territory.
These words reassured the lords of those second-tier cities a lot, even if they were unlucky enough to draw the next lottery, there was still a great chance of keeping the territory. Moreover, as long as the territory is not breached, the losses in the war can be doubled, which is equivalent to risk compensation.
For this, the lords of the first-level cities have no objection, the greatest danger will not fall on them, and the lords of the second-level cities are fully qualified to receive the corresponding benefits by risking the destruction of their territory to resist the strong enemy.
One player suggested a new building: "The Princes' forces are so strong that we have to prepare for the worst. JianyΓ¬ Jincheng County and Longxi County were responsible for luring the enemy's second-level city territory, and each found a candidate to avoid being caught off guard when the situation got out of control during the battle. β
No one objected, and this was adopted.
"That's it, there are only eighteen second-level city territories in Jincheng County and Longxi County, and there are a few second-level city lords who did not attend today's meeting, I will send someone to inform those lords of Jincheng County separately, and after gathering, draw lots to select the territories to fight. The selection of the territory of Longxi County is in charge of the sexy beast, so let's go back and prepare for it first. β
The Sexy Beast is also a second-level city lord, and his territory is in Longxi County, seeing that the world is so mentioned, the Sexy Beast nodded, "Okay." β
Except for the seven second-level city lords of Jincheng County, the rest of the people quickly dispersed. The lords who stayed behind were all apprehensive, although the safety of the first battle was quite guaranteed, but the possibility of the destruction of the territory was also there, and it was not easy for the territory to expand from a small village to the current second-level city, and no one was willing to compensate for those and take this risk.
It's just that now that the arrow is on the line, there is no turning back.
There are a total of ten second-level cities in Jincheng County, and there are already eight city lords present, and the world has dialed a communication bracelet and beckoned everyone out: "In order to save time, let's go to Longfei City together to see if we can meet the mysterious Longfei City Lord, and a second-level city lord has also gone to Longfei City, and we will gather there." β
"Damn, hasn't Long Feicheng been closed to the outside world all the time, and they also plan to participate in this battle?" A lord player asked.
"Not bad."
"Then why don't you just use the communication bracelet to get him over?"
Tianxia leaned and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, the problem is that I don't know the person's name at all." A messenger from Long Fei brought a letter the day before yesterday, expressing Long Feicheng's willingness to participate in the war, and he didn't even leave the payment. β
"The distance between my territory and Long Fei is only sixty miles, and no one in Jincheng County is closer to Long Fei than Duo, and it can be regarded as a close neighbor, for such a long time, I have never seen the face of Long Fei City Lord." Racing against time to shake his head, his territory Qingcao Town has already been upgraded to Qingcao City, and it is also quite powerful in the southern part of Jincheng County, and it has just been upgraded to a second-level city not long ago.
"Haha, if you talk like this, I'm more interested in this Longfei City Lord, I have to see him today, go!"
"Let's go!"
Among the ten second-tier cities, only the lord of Long Fei has never appeared in front of everyone, no one knows his name, and he doesn't even know whether the lord of Long Fei City is male or female. In the minds of players, the Lord of Longfei City is a mysterious figure.
The other seven city lords were also curious about the master of Longfei City, although so many people went all the way to Longfei to be alone, everyone could also understand that no one could contact Longfei City Lord at all, rather than sending someone over to deliver the message, it was better for everyone to go to save trouble.
Long Fei outside the city.
Several lord players dismounted one after another, and the large number of arrow towers built by Longfei City, as well as the scattered and layered fortifications in the Eight Treasure Valley as far as the eye could see, were shocking. The race against time that had already been secretly seen in this battle was a little better, and the other lord players all gasped.
Although many people had heard that Long Fei City's defense system was very distinctive, after witnessing it with their own eyes, many lords were still impressed.
"Warcastle?"
"Faint, is this still a territory?"
"I dare to inquire, this Longfei City Lord must be insecure, Yan zhΓ²ng is insecure!"
"In terms of defensive power, there is no territory in Liangzhou that can catch up with Longfei City!"
Several people tacitly glanced at each other, Long Feicheng's defensive ability was the most promising to resist Han Sui's attack. It's a pity that whoever takes the lead in attracting Han Suijun's attack is decided by everyone by drawing lots, and if everyone elects a representative, there will be no suspense about Long Feicheng's election.
As soon as Tianxia leaned towards the city gate, he said to the defenders: "Please inform your city lord, and say that the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou coalition army is leaning on the world, and he has brought eight second-level city lords to visit, and there are important matters to discuss." β
The soldiers defending the city looked at the world and leaned back, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a while, we will go and report." β
Glancing at the other soldiers, one of them had already walked briskly towards the city. Five minutes later, an NPC official came out with the soldier and said, "My lord invites the city lord and several other city lords to enter the city for a while. β
"The shelf of the City Lord of Longfei is so big, we are guests from afar, and he doesn't come out to greet him in person." One of the lords muttered discontentedly. His dissatisfaction is not difficult to understand, everyone is a player, and they are all lords of second-level cities, it is reasonable, the masters of Long Fei should come out to greet them, and the current approach is too arrogant.
As if he had not heard, the officer led the men into the city.
Entering the interior of Longfei City, you can see the three-dimensional defense system of Longfei City up close. Dozens of arrow towers are garrisoned by soldiers, there are three layers of plank roads on each of the two walls of the valley, on the plank road, at least more than 100 soldiers are seen patrolling back and forth, the scorching sun tans their faces, they look vigilant one by one, as if facing a great enemy, the crossbow arrows in their hands reflect the cold light in the sun.
The sense of urgency they bring is substantial.
The troops on the plank road are all using valuable crossbow arrows, how much does it cost?
This is truly an enigmatic territory!
Tianxia Yiyi and the others also noticed that they didn't see any players in the city along the way, and it wasn't until they entered the city lord's office that they saw a player dressed as a fierce general sitting there.
"Finally saw the city lord of Long Fei, it turned out to be a fierce general?"
"Khan, I've always had a childish thought, and I thought that the City Lord of Longfei was a beautiful player, and I was disillusioned!"
The fierce general player stood up and greeted with a smile, "Hello everyone, my name is Peerless, a friend of the Dragon Flying City Lord. He is not in the territory, if there is anything you can tell me directly, and then I will tell you. β
The crowd almost fainted.
After doing it for a long time, they still haven't seen the Longfei City Lord himself!
(Finally caught up.)
Although it was completed in two days, the 3,000 words that should be added to the 60 votes were cashed out...... (To be continued)
