Chapter 595: Go to war
The casualties of Zhang Fan's army in this battle were not large, the defenders chose to retreat when they saw that they could not recover the city gate, Zhang Fan's army has actually been chasing and killing, killing more than 10,000 enemy troops, and more than 10,000 captured soldiers, which is a big victory, and more importantly, Zhang Fan took this opportunity to open up the road to the Heavenly Wing Base, and he can close the door and fight the dog!
Under the command of Zhang Fan, the army marched again, Zhou Feng led the way in front, and soon Zhang Fan walked out from the city gate on the other side, and was greeted by dozens of villages and two big cities, which are close to the sea, those villages are built by the sea, and there are many small wooden boats floating near the sea.
Zhang Fan nodded slightly, this is also a treasure land, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, slightly similar to the terrain of the Valley of Hades, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold the city located at the intersection, there is no risk of loss, the wings of heaven are a good calculation, but he is too harsh on the NPCs under his command, which gives Zhang Fan the opportunity to easily take down the most critical city and enter the rear!
Raising his eyes and looking around, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because he found that there was not much countryside in the surrounding open space, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Feng: "Occupy such a big place, why don't you cultivate and plant?" How can fish and shrimp alone satisfy your stomach? ”
Zhou Feng looked helpless and said: "After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the number of people has decreased sharply, but such a large place cannot be fully cultivated!" Many times the army relies on fish and shrimp in the sea as food, and it is difficult to eat food! ”
Zhang Fan frowned and said, "Haven't you tried military hoarding?" I see that there are a lot of soldiers here, so it won't take much effort to grow food, right? ”
Zhou Feng's face became bitter, and he said, "That being said, the soldiers always have to be trained, right?" And we also need to kill the surrounding robbers, etc., to obtain war exploits and wealth from them, in fact, the harvest has been very rich for a period of time, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there is no one in other cities to sell food, and money can't buy it, so what can I do? ”
Zhang Fan shook his head, it seems that Heavenly Wings is really suspected of being reckless, and he didn't do a good job of the development of the rear station first, leading the soldiers to the south and the north, and making the people miserable, although he has gained wealth, but what can he do?
There is no large rear that can supply the consumption of the whole army, this is a kind of deformed development, although in a short period of time it has benefited, but it does not help the overall situation!
Just like the Valley of Hades, why did Zhang Fan advocate military hoarding instead of leading a large army to conquer the city?
In the absence of food and grass and other logistical materials, even if you capture the city and get the gold and silver wealth, what can you do? Without food, the soldiers are hungry, the combat effectiveness will naturally decline, the casualties will be more during the conquest, and the city may not be replenished in large quantities after taking it, so what's the point?
The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, this is an immutable truth, you can't expect the army to fight with hunger and blood, right?
"It seems that these so-called bigwigs still don't understand the key!"
Zhang Fan sighed, in fact, he had experienced many setbacks in his previous life to understand these things, but since God gave him a chance to do it again, he would not be able to repeat the mistakes of the past!
This kind of mistake similar to the wings of heaven is actually common in many of the current big forces, just like the god of war and others, although most of them are sitting on millions of soldiers and horses, but they can't do it if they want to increase the troops, firstly, the population base of the territory is already strictly insufficient, and secondly, it is also because of the lack of logistical materials such as grain and grass, it can be said that although they have a large number of soldiers, they can't fight normally at all, their grain and grass are only enough for the army to support a few days, and what can they do in a few days? It takes you a few days to get from one county to another, right? There is no food before the war, this is not looking for death?
In fact, even Zhang Fan can't afford the consumption of a million troops, so he set the main army at 400,000, which is already the limit he can bear at this stage, in fact, if he really occupies the entire Jizhou, he will not be able to expand his troops without a period of recuperation, theoretically speaking, in addition to the garrison soldiers in a state, it is already good to be able to dispatch more than one million troops, after all, it often takes a long time to fight a big war, and the consumption of materials such as grain and grass is even more astronomical. And the God of War and others are only a few cities, but they have to support a million troops, which is very dangerous, and there is a possibility of a complete collapse at any time!
These words Zhang Fan once mentioned Wu Hongchen, and he only sneered at the God of War and others, although these people can cause him a certain amount of trouble now, but Zhang Fan's vision is obviously higher, and his target is those NPC princes who are really dominant!
In today's era when players are living on the tasks issued by NPCs, Zhang Fan is obviously an outlier, his power is strong enough, and he has the possibility of a real rise after becoming the pastor of Jizhou, which is also one of the reasons why the God of War and others have to send troops at any cost, these people will never sit back and watch Zhang Fan grow to that point!
Zhang Fan glanced at the scene in front of him again, and smiled faintly: "Sweeping away the player forces and competing with the real Three Kingdoms will start from here today!" ”
With a wave of his hand, nearly 100,000 troops poured out of the city, and at this moment the defenders were already in full array, they learned a lesson, closed the city gate and did not come out, but what surprised them was that Zhang Fan did not choose to attack the city directly, the army made a bend and pounced on the dozens of villages along the coast!
The eyes of the players guarding the village widened, they didn't expect things to turn like this, the village was no better than the town, there were no towering walls, no heavy gates made of steel, how could a mere wooden fence withstand the attack of the army?
"Stormy, you are so despicable! If you have the ability to attack the city, what's the matter with coming here? ”
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, what is the undefeated king, I think you are nothing more than that!"
"What do you do if you take the village? It's not good for the big picture! ”
The defender player shouted loudly, but Zhang Fan ignored it completely, Yan Yang led the Qiang cavalry brigade to rush forward, and the wooden fence was cut out of the way by him with one sword, and the follow-up army quickly poured in and started a massacre!
The screams rang out in the sky, the defenders in the village were no match for the Qiang cavalry at all, and the time was in a hurry, they could not build fortifications, and they were immediately rushed by the Qiang cavalry brigade, leaving corpses everywhere!
