Chapter 17: Confusion (4)

Gu Shiyu is also having a headache now. Although he defeated Altyn, gained his territory, and recovered several other unclaimed cities, he had very little money at his disposal.www.biquge.info

Departing by boat from Castellos, he never returned to replenish his troops and supplies. The soldier is easy to do, because his diplomatic skills have been improved to the expert level, and when the troops are on the way, he will fight whenever he finds a field unit wandering around, and there will always be a surrender unit to join him, of course, some troops have to spend some mercenary fees.

Supplies had to be dealt with nearby, and each time a city was captured, not only did it cost money to comfort the natives, but it also had to make some investment in the development of local commerce, agriculture and handicraft workshops, as well as the construction of military camps, training and recruiting local soldiers to defend the city.

Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, he always feels that money is not enough.

Fortunately, he already has Altyn under his command, as well as Renesas, who has improved his skills and tactics by leaps and bounds. In addition to this, he also recruited several local heroes, and although they were all fledgling, it was still useful to lead a team to sweep away the weak rogue thieves near the stronghold, seize the mines, or lead the team around to scout the enemy.

The west and the south are basically calm, and now we have to choose the next target for attack.

Altyn and Ressa strongly recommended joining Boris in besieging the central York, eliminating him before going on a crusade against Eufritin.

But Gu Shiyu had his own little calculations.

"I said let's fight Eufrittin first, he is currently ranked first from the bottom in terms of combat power, and it should be easy to beat him. ”

Renesa shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. His troops have not yet participated in the battle, and no one knows the true situation of his combat strength. ”

Gu Shiyu said: "I can't figure it out, how can he have so much money? ”

Altyn said: "Eufrithine now has four cities. If no one beats him, he doesn't need to recruit soldiers, and the saved funds can be used to focus on internal affairs. I believe that he should have built a parliament and three councils, and the daily tax of the parliament is 4,000 gold coins, and the daily tax of the three councils is 6,000 gold, so that he can get 10,000 gold coins a day. What's more, dwarves are very good at collecting money, and there will be additional military income. ”

"Oh my God, he can earn 10,000 military expenses a day! What about us?" Gu Shiyu said in surprise.

"Castros has been built into a congress, and in addition to that, we have two councils, two council halls, and two village council halls. The daily tax of the Parliament is four thousand, the total income of the Council is four thousand, the council hall is two thousand, and the village hall is one thousand, so our daily tax is eleven thousand gold coins. ”

"Then we should be richer than Eufritin, why are we the poorest of the four contestants?" Gu Shiyu's eyes widened.

"Everyfritin's town construction should have been completed, and he can now use all his income for military expenses," Reesa said. And I don't think he has recruited much of an army, and if he recruits all the soldiers in all the towns, it will be terrible. ”

"Yes. My lord, I suggest that you change your internal policy and not divide your limited funds evenly and concentrate on developing two or three cities. It is enough for other towns to build councils, but for the development of the military, it will cost a lot of money, and second, the accumulation of soldiers is not much, so it is not enough to defend the city. ”

"What if the enemy comes? Isn't that easy for them to snatch?"

"You know, with the strength of the heroes now, the soldiers accumulated in a week or two can't resist at all, and the whole army will be wiped out in a few rounds, so why spend money to recruit them?"

"You have a point. Gu Shiyu nodded and said: "Then let's discuss which towns to focus on, the other towns have a good council, and it doesn't matter if they can increase their financial revenue, so that even if the enemy occupies the city, he will not be able to get reinforcements." ”

The crowd leaned over the map and discussed.

"Brother Gu, do you want to fight York or Eufritin?"

"Beat Eufritin, who called this kid so rich! He has hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and I only have tens of thousands of gold coins, so I must snatch his money." ”

"Boris's ranking has been knocked down by York, and it has become third, if you don't care, she will be killed by York!"

"Well, go back to Castelos, bring all the soldiers out of the castle, and enlist Borris. She can't die, and I'll have to hold York down with her. ”

"Oh, then I'll go!" Reissa immediately rejoiced.

Can she not be happy? With Gu Shiyu's side, she can't catch any battles, she often fights some wandering soldiers, robs the mines, and now she finally has the opportunity to lead the army. What's more, she is really worried about Boris, who calls her her a good sister?

The little girl hurriedly ran out of the house, and suddenly ran back again, and almost fell over.

"You little girl, can you not be so clumsy?" Gu Shiyu frowned and hugged Renesa.

"Can you stop calling me a little girl, I'm already an adult!" Resa not only didn't thank Gu Shiyu, but also glared at him fiercely, and then put a package in his hand on the table.

"What is this?" Gu Shiyu opened the package curiously, wasn't that a glass ball?

No, it should be a crystal ball, which functions like a modern videophone.

"Oh, this is a good baby!" Gu Shiyu was about to touch Rensa's head again, but he immediately realized that this move was bound to be hated by Renesa again.

"You'll have to tell me how to use it!" said Gu Shiyu.

"Who told you not to learn wisdom? When you learn wisdom and have mental control, you will naturally know how to use it. ”

"Is there any? Give Altyn one. ”

"You think the crystal ball is a potato, and you can dig it out of the ground if you want? I only stole two from my father, and I don't have any more. ”

In fact, Renesa stole all five of her father's crystal balls, but she was very unhappy when she saw that Altyn was too ugly, like a hateful hyena. She stood there motionless and silent, as if waiting for something.

Gu Shiyu didn't know what this little girl was thinking? He had to kiss Ressa on the forehead, and Ressa became happy and began to run out of the door.

"Be careful, hide away when you see York coming, don't let him be killed!" Gu Shiyu shouted.

"I know!" said the little girl, jumping up.

Altyn smiled slightly, his smile a little strange.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Lord, didn't you notice that Renesa liked you very much?"

“...... I'm in love with Catherine and won't like any other woman anymore. I treat her as my little sister, and I have absolutely no special thoughts about her. If you like her and are willing to be nice to her, I probably won't object. ”

Altyn shook his head and said, "Animal trainers are generally ugly and not liked. Alas, I'd better go find a witch to be a wife, monster for monster, no one is talking nonsense. ”

"How's McLind? She's a good friend of mine, and I know you're playing in her place. ”

"Uh...... My impression of her is still only in childhood. Altyn's face flushed, "At that time, she and I both dragged our noses, and often chased butterflies and picked wild fruits in the swamp barefoot, and I don't know how she is now......"

"She's in good shape, but unfortunately she's wearing a cloak, and I can't see what she looks like, so she should be okay. ”

Altyn sighed and said, "Alas, don't talk about this, Lord Lord, let's discuss the next move!"

What Gu Shiyu didn't know was that Mellind and Alkin had been married to a baby since they were young, which was the reason why Alkin was almost thirty years old and hadn't found a wife yet.

Altyn pointed to the map and said, "If you want to attack Eufritin, I suggest that you focus on the construction of these two places and use them as forward strongholds. ”

"Oh, tell me your reasoning. ”

"First, your army is almost all human warriors, and these two places, like Castellos, are human castles, and the army is the same, and it is easy to form a strong combat force. Not to mention that leading soldiers of different races at the same time will affect the morale of the troops. ”

"Second, these two places are close to Eufritin's territory, and the distance is relatively close, so that they can be replenished with troops and supplies in time, while the other places are far away, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. ”

Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable. The soldiers are so fast that they can't delay for a moment. Do you know why I chose to fight Eufrittin first? I suspect that he is the strongest, but he is temporarily hiding his true strength. When Boris and I defeat York, we'll be devastated, and he'll be able to take advantage of the fisherman and defeat either of us with ease. Of course, I was also interested in his money. ”

Gu Shiyu actually has another idea, but that can't be said. If he and Boris join forces to defeat York and Everyfritin, and finally leave him and Boris to meet and decide the final winner, he feels a little unbearable.

Boris is so beautiful, she is still her ally, and she is still the sister of Her Royal Highness Princess Luna, does she have to meet each other to decide the winner?

But she is unwilling to let her win herself.

The best thing to do is for her to fight with York, and after defeating the weaker Eufritin, she will move west. There were three territories as logistical supplies, and the army surrounded York from the west, south, and east, plus Boris in the north, no matter how strong York was, it could not take care of everything, and the territory was gradually encroached upon until it was wiped out.

At that time, Boris's combat power will definitely not be comparable to his own, so he can only choose to submit. What's more, she is her ally, and her victory can be regarded as her victory, and she will not feel faceless.

Alkin didn't know Gu Shiyu's crooked idea. He nodded, "Yes, you can use the strategy of defeating me to seize a stronghold unknowingly. No matter how capable Everyrin was, he wouldn't have that much money, and I guess he definitely didn't recruit the soldiers in the castle. ”

"Yes. If we can make a sneak attack without bloodshed, he will only be able to gather the forces of three strongholds, from which we will recruit all the soldiers and lead them under your leadership. ”

Altyn nodded, "In this way, if he wants to defeat us, he must gather all the troops in the three strongholds, because he understands that the defenders in one stronghold will never be able to resist any of us." ”

"That's why we took the opportunity to attack his other two strongholds, leaving him busy and exhausted. We must not engage in a decisive battle with him until we are absolutely sure. Make sure he only captures one city, so he can only get one city to replenish with troops and supplies, and we'll have three. The end result is that he is getting weaker and weaker, and we are getting stronger. ”

"What if he goes out of his way?"

"Then we will retreat at once, throw him an empty city, and we will take the opportunity to occupy his capital. ”

Alking nodded, "I see, you want him to keep going." ”

"Yes, we will occupy wherever he leaves, and make sure that he can only occupy one city. No matter how strong he is, he will be dragged and dragged down by us until he is finally dragged to death. ”

"It's really yours!" Alkin looked at Gu Shiyu with admiration and said, "I was defeated by you, and I was still a little unconvinced, thinking that you were just lucky." Now I can't do without admiring you, I believe that you must be the final victor. You have to think about the entire campaign, not just one city or one battle. ”

Of course. Gu Shiyu has learned Go, although his level is not high, and he is only an amateur three-dan, but his eyes have long learned not to stare at the gains and losses of one corner and one place, but the whole overall situation.

"Then let's get started!" Gu Shiyu put away the map and said, "Let's first order a few other heroes to lead the fleet to the sea, so that Everyfretin thinks that we are going to fight York in the central region, so as to paralyze him." You and I walked day and night, quietly approaching the stronghold of Eufritin, and then attacking the city in one fell swoop. ”
