The four major player legions were defeated and retreated from Beishui Spring to the Zhoushui Walled City. When the news came, all the players in Zhoushui Walled City were shocked, they didn't expect that the player army would not be able to defeat the Shanjung army. The NPCs were also very frightened, considering whether to move to the safer country of Thistle City as soon as possible.

The great chief Ji Zhi was furious when he received the military intelligence report, and immediately dismissed the arrogant Sima from his position, and quickly ordered the military horses of the four major legions to stop the retreat, turn around and fight a decisive battle with the Shanrong army, and not lead the war to the Zhoushui Walled City.

However, no one listened to this order, because a decisive battle with Shanrong was tantamount to asking the four major player legions to sacrifice these nearly 50,000 soldiers to protect the Zhoushui tribe - this is something that the four major legions are unwilling to do. If there is a decisive battle, the big chief should personally lead the troops to the decisive battle. And they can't do it. It is better to bear the evil voice of defeat and escape, or even to be dismissed, than to let 40,000 nbsp; The commanders of the four legions reported to the Grand Chieftain that they could not bring the legions to a halt as they were in disarray, out of command, and in a state of collapse.

They retreated quickly, without hesitation. In one day, I walked 85 miles of mountain road and retreated from Beishuiquan to Gouhe. Ditch River, only 25 miles away from Zhoushui Walled City. The Shanrong army broke the "death squad" of 5,000 soldiers led by Xiao Ao, and quickly followed, approaching the Zhoushui Walled City.

Ji slapped the table angrily, "These lawless military Simas, Xing Sima, what are the loss of command, this is clearly a scoundrel, I don't want to fight a decisive battle with Shan Rong!" But he couldn't do anything about them. These more than 30 players are the most powerful player gang in the entire Zhoushui Walled City, and if they are all punished, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

The ministers suggested that it would be better to leave these players aside and have the Great Chief personally lead the army to conquer Shanjung.

Ji Zhi thought about it, and there was only that.

But when the four corps at the front came back and reorganized, it would be too late. In a critical situation. He ordered a second conscription of the subordinate tribes of the Zhoushui tribe, and recruited five NPC legions from each player tribe again to fight a decisive battle with the Shanjung army.

The Great Chieftain Ji Zhi personally commanded the troops, and the NPC Minister Sima and the Military Sima participated in the command, and it was no longer commanded by the player.

This time. The battlefield is under the walled city of Zhoushui, there is no way to retreat, and it is a decisive battle.

Due to the lack of military spending, there was no supply of medicines, no tools to build fortifications, and it was all about the number of troops.

In addition, since the supply base is in Zhoushui Walled City, the supply of food is much easier. The task of the logistics corps is very easy, and there is no need to travel hundreds of miles to replenish supplies. And a decisive battle at any cost. At most, the battle will be over in a day or two, and many soldiers will die, but they will not consume much food. Logistics Corps Headquarters.

The Snow Demon Maiden sent the news that Ji Zhi had ordered the second conscription and was preparing to recruit in person, Qin Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the teacup on the table to drink tea.

Fortunately, everything was expected and under control. I'm running out of food. The medicine is gone, the military spending is almost gone, and the only thing that hasn't been run out is the NBSP; From the beginning of the battle to the present, for more than ten days, the four major player legions have lost only about 2,000 NPC soldiers, and there are very few deaths. Later, when the troops were withdrawn, the Xiaoao Legion suffered a serious loss, killing nearly 5,000 soldiers in one breath - this was still pitted by the other three legions, otherwise it would not have died so many soldiers.

Player commanders have done an excellent job of preserving their forces.

Opposite. The number of Shanjung soldiers killed in battle was very high. According to the battle report, more than 45,000 of the 70,000 Shanjung troops have died, and more than 25,000 troops remain.

The Great Chief personally led an army of 50,000 and a Shan Rong army2. 50,000 were under Zhoushui City, and the last head-on decisive battle was held, and the winner was determined in one battle. In terms of numbers, morale, etc., the odds of victory are quite high.

After this battle, the war is almost over.

Qin Xiaobai can also be much easier. Afterwards, each legion sat down and divided the spoils, you and I shared, everyone was even, and the Eagle Hand mining area could also be mined. Dig up the copper ore. His copper smelting workshop can also be reopened, and everything is back in business.

The Snow Demon Maiden looked at Qin Xiaobai drinking tea with a comfortable expression, and whispered a little strangely: "Boss, tell you a good news and a bad news." ”

"What's the good news?"

"Great Chief. I want you to go with him. In addition, the Great Chief also said. The brass armor you made was very good, and he liked it very much. Ask him and the main NPC military attache of the army to provide 100 sets of copper weapons and equipment to use on the battlefield. ”

"Well, that's good news, you can make a lot of money! Anyway, after the battle, a large number of copper axes were useless, so they were simply melted down and rebuilt with copper equipment. By the way, the bad news? ”

"The Great Chief said, for free!"

"What?!"

Qin Xiaobai snorted and squirted out a sip of tea, jumping in shock, "He thought I was opening a charity hall?!" No, I'll have to talk to the Great Chief. ”

The Zhoushui tribe began to gather a second large army of 50,000 troops. Hundreds of NPC officials galloped quickly within the jurisdiction of the Zhoushui tribe to recruit troops from various player tribes in the suburbs, and each player tribe forced 5 soldiers to participate in the battle.

The players cooperated. After all, if you can't defeat the Shanjung army, the player's camp outside the city will be ransacked, and you will also suffer heavy losses.

A large number of NPC soldiers from all parts of the Zhoushui tribe gathered towards the Zhoushui Walled City like flowing water.

A new corps began to form.

The NPC military attaches in the interior of the walled city reorganized this huge army. Every 10,000 soldiers was a large phalanx, divided into five large arrays, and deployed in the direction of a few miles north of the Zhoushui Walled City. Once the player legion returns from a rout, and the Shanjung army follows and kills, they will lead their army directly to meet the Shanjung army and fight to the death.

The Great Chieftain Ji Zhi, the Great Chief's teacher Guo Kui, NPC Situ, Sima and other civil and military generals also appeared in this legion.

Qin Xiaobai rode to the new army and found the great chief Ji Zhi.

Wearing a bronze helmet, bronze armor, and a bronze sword, and riding a war horse, Ji Zhi was reviewing the army accompanied by the ministers.

Qin Xiaobai immediately stepped forward.

Ji Zhi was quite happy when he saw Qin Xiaobai coming, and said: "The copper clothes produced by Lord Jun Sima are very lonely, I heard that your workshop can produce nearly a hundred sets of such copper armor a day, which is the workshop with the largest output in our Zhoushui City, I don't know if it's true." In this way, you are the minister of the lonely land, and the 50 soldiers of the lonely guard, all put on such bronze uniforms, and fight majesticly. ”

Qin Xiaobai had a bitter stomach, "The big chief wants it, of course it's okay." ”

Ji Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, but, in addition, the 3,000 soldiers defending the city who are lonely will have to change into such bronze armor equipment." Qin Xiaobai's heart jumped violently, each set of 2,500 copper coins, 3,000 sets of copper equipment is as high as 7.5 million copper coins, what does the big chief want to do?

He immediately said, "It takes a lot of money."

Ji Zhi smiled, "Don't worry about money." He pointed to the North Ridge with a whip and said, "Facing north over the mountains, one hundred and fifty miles away is the Eagle Hand Mining Area. It is said that there are many mineral deposits there. Under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The treasury of the lonely land is empty, and the lonely plan is to lease the mining area. ”

"What kind of lease is the Grand Chief going to do?"

"Whoever helps Gu with 3,000 sets of equipment will be leased to whoever he wants for three years. Lord Junma, are you interested? ”

Ji Zhi said with a smile.

Qin Xiaobai finally understood what the big chief meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how the players fight for profit, one of the final benefits must include the great chief who sits in the walled city.

This is the Yan Kingdom, the fief of the great chief Ji Zhi. Ji Zhi wants to lease the land, but no one can stop him.

This transaction, said to be a loss, also a loss, at least made himself lose 7.5 million in income. But when it comes to earning, he also earns, and from now on, he has begun to be tied to the interests of the Great Chief Ji Zhi.

Ji Zhi, that is the famous generation of overlord Yan Zhao in the history of Yan Kingdom, and the future monarch of Yan Kingdom. One of the few hegemons in Chinese history. Once the current king dies, if Ji Zhi successfully defeats the other NPC princes, it will be King Yan. With the support of this monarch, where will he not be able to go to the vast land of Yan Kingdom in the future?

These 3,000 sets of copper armor, he also vaguely guessed the purpose. With 3,000 soldiers in full bronze armor, he is almost invincible, which is very beneficial to the succession of the throne.

For this, this long-term investment is well worth it.

Qin Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said, "The minister is willing to rent, but three years is too short!" The price of 300 sets of equipment is 7.5 million copper coins, which is 2.5 million per year. Big Chief, how many people do you say can go to mining in a remote mining area? I can't earn so much money at all, and if I can earn 1 million a year, it's the sky. Besides, the minister also earns a little bit, doesn't he? Let's change it to ten years, and the first three years will be all mine. In the next seven years, if you make money, half of it will go to the treasury, which can also increase the financial expenses of the Zhoushui tribe. ”

Ji Zhi thought for a while, maybe he also felt that the price was too high, but he didn't insist, "Okay, this is not bad, it is not easy to open a copper mine in that wild land." But when will Lone's 3,000 sets of equipment be ready? ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "The ministers will prepare 100 sets for the big chieftain and the ministers, and the guards." As for the other 3,000 sets, the minister will do his best, how long it will take, it depends on whether the mining of the copper mine is smooth, the faster the mining, the faster the equipment production will be! Ji Zhi nodded slowly.
