Chapter 253 Follow-up tasks
Through a three-day observation, Yang Rui also roughly understood the rules of the rebels of the Western Qiang and the dispatch of troops.
The earliest batch of Western Qiang rebel territories robbed by Yang Rui only renovated the rebel soldiers after three days, which shows that the refresh cycle of the Western Qiang rebel stronghold was 3 game days; and according to the almost seamless exploration of the thief leader, as the number of counterattacks increased, the number of troops sent by the Xiliang rebels became more and more frequent in each territory.
At the beginning, only three or four rebel territories sent troops. Later, after the number of military forces required for counterattack increased significantly, more and more territories began to participate in counterattacks, and the number of participation increased again and again until all the soldiers in a certain territory were basically sent out.
Of course, each territory will retain a small number of soldiers in the end, but this number will never be too large. Through several tentative attacks between counterattacks, Yang Rui has basically discovered the bottom line!
In the end, low-level villages will only retain 10 defensive soldiers, 20 intermediate villages, 30 advanced villages, 40 junior town territories, 50 intermediate town territories, and 60 senior town territories. Almost every level of territory added to the 1st level, the bottom limit of defensive soldiers will be increased accordingly. By the same token, the primary city level territories may only retain 70 defensive soldiers?! Even if there are more than this number, I believe that there will not be much more.
At the same time, if the territory of the surrounding Western Qiang rebels cannot gather enough for the corresponding number of soldiers required for counterattack, the scope of the territory participating in the counterattack will also increase accordingly until the corresponding number of soldiers can be collected. Unless a new batch of soldiers is returned to the empty territory of the soldiers before the 3rd day, the scope of the territory of the troops will be reduced again.
Taking Ledu City as an example, Yang Rui noticed that it started to send a small number of troops from the third round of the Western Qiang soldiers to counterattack. Until the ninth round of the Western Qiang soldiers counterattack, it was no longer possible to send one army or another. The Western Qiang soldiers participating in the counterattack gathered from further territory.
The Western Qiang rebels' method of sending troops is in line with the habits of the Qiang people in the Hehuang area and plays a significant role in the defense of the strongholds. However, when the opponent's strength is sufficient, there may be many loopholes that can be exploited!
It was through careful and repeated investigation that Yang Rui grasped this loophole. Just after the 11th round of attacks by the Western Qiang rebels, Yang Rui rushed towards Ledu City and launched a surprise attack on Ledu City while the opponent's troops were empty.
As Yang Rui expected, the number of defenders in Ledu City is only seventy or eighty soldiers. Except for one of the intermediate generals and two junior generals, all the remaining soldiers are level 3 long-range archers.
Such strength naturally cannot stop Yang Rui's pace. Not only is the initial, the intermediate generals are not enough for Yang Rui and others to see. Moreover, if the opponent's archers want to block them with the advantage of the terrain, they will be quickly suppressed by Yang Rui's 42 5th-level archers and 800 4th-level archers. The difference between quantity and level level offsets the advantage of the Western Qiang rebel archers!
"System prompt: Congratulations on completing the first phase of the 'Origin of the Qiang tribe' - to capture a Qiang tribe's primary city territory. You will get the task item - Qiang tribe's special equipment components, and get a money reward of 100 gold coins."
As Yang Rui captured Ledu City, a system prompt followed, and the first phase of Yang Rui's Jinbo mission was completed. However, the rewards obtained were not generous. He only obtained a certain number of golden gun rewards, which seemed to be somewhat far from his identity as the Jinbo mission!
"System prompt: Dear player Lieyang, since you have completed the first phase of the "Origin of the Qiang clan", you will now carry out the second phase of the follow-up task. Please choose whether you accept it?"
"accept!"
The system prompted Yang Rui to enter the second phase of the task selection, and Yang Rui naturally had nothing to say about this. He directly chose to accept it.
"System prompt: Dear player Lieyang, you have accepted the second phase of the "Origin of the Qiang tribe" mission, defending the Xiqiang Primary City Territory - Ledu City for 6 days, and you will receive relevant subsequent mission information in 6 days..."
Defending Ledu City for 6 days?! Yang Rui was stunned when he heard this. In the current situation where the Western Qiang rebels counterattack one round after another, defending for 6 days means facing the crazy counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels about 24 rounds! Calculated by the increase in military strength by 40% in each round, the more difficult it is to get to the back. In the end, the military strength of the Western Qiang rebels that Yang Rui needs to face will exceed 4 million! All of them will be converted into third-level soldiers. The number of people will also be above 1 million! Yang Rui even doubted whether he had chosen the wrong time point for the task!
After the primary city territory required by the mission is captured, there may be a follow-up task based on the city. Yang Rui had considered this from the beginning, but he did not expect that it would be true. However, it is very difficult to defend against the 24-round counterattack of the Western Qiang rebels!
Fortunately, Yang Rui maintained the integrity of Ledu City’s defensive buildings as much as possible, neither destroying the city wall nor destroying the city wall. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is considered to have a geographical advantage. In addition, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning are in hand, so if you give it a try, there is no hope.
However, the direct attack range of Tianling Fire Rain is only 200*200m2, and the area occupied by the millions of Xiqiang rebels who counterattacked in the final stage was larger, so it is necessary to try to effectively amplify the skills of Tianling Fire Rain!
At this point, Zhang Jiao's actions in the Battle of Guangzong were extremely typical. First, he used a trench and a downpour to destroy most of the siege equipment of the Han court camp and a large number of soldiers of the Han court camp; then he used the trench water to burn a large number of wooden boats crossing the river and countless soldiers of the Han court camp!
Using the terrain twice in a row, Zhang Jiao can be said to have magnified the skill effect countless times. Even when he ran away, he used the same skill to block the way of Yang Rui and other pursuers in Liuconghe, which was a very successful case. However, the times were so popular that Zhang Jiao blocked the pursuit army of the Han court camp, but also blocked the life of the two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang!
However, no matter whether it is the trenches or rivers used by Zhangjiao at that time, they cannot be made out of thin air. If there are no architectural drawings, even simple projects like trenches will not be recognized by the system shortly after they are formed and will be quickly wiped out by the system! Therefore, if you want to think about this, you still need to find relevant architectural drawings!
At the same time, Yang Rui currently has too little military strength, especially the melee soldiers. Yang Rui didn't bring much when he came. Therefore, Yang Rui had to consider rushing back to Dashan Town and mobilizing some military strength to assist in the defense.
Originally, Yang Rui was not able to use the teleportation array. If you want to return to the non-rebellious zone east of Jincheng to ride the teleportation array, it is probably impossible to complete within the mission time! However, it is different if Zhang Ning has a Tao Fengfei Carpet. This speed is 5 times the speed of horse, I believe it will take no more than a day or a day to arrive in the east of Jincheng. Although the Tao Fengfei Carpet is currently owned by Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning took it out happily after Yang Rui spoke...
Inspired by the Daofeng Fei Carpet prop, Yang Rui remembered another prop left by Zhang Jiao - the purple gold-level "Yellow Turban Transfer Order"!
"The lord is sure to transfer all 10,000 leaders in the city to rank 1 Yellow Turban soldiers?"
Yang Rui only mentioned the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order", but Zhang Ning thought that Yang Rui had the idea of leading the people in the city! After the Ledu City was taken down, there were about 20,000 people in it. Although it was not controlled by Yang Rui, it had changed from an opposing camp to a neutral camp. This is also a phenomenon that often occurs in mutual conquests. Not all opposing camps are as determined as the Yellow Turban family.
The most unexpected thing is that these NPC leaders from neutral camps can actually be transferred to the first-level Yellow Turbans by the "Yellow Turbans Transfer Order"! This news is naturally a surprise for Yang Rui. Even if the 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers are all level 1, they can participate in defense of the city walls and the like. However, Zhang Ning's attitude was a little hesitant.
"If the lord insists on transforming these leaders into 1st-level Yellow Turban soldiers, Ning will naturally be able to do it, but... these leaders will not belong to me. After the mission is over, we will leave here. These converted Yellow Turban soldiers will definitely be destroyed by misleading their identities and suffering. Ning really can't bear it!"
Zhang Ning finally explained the reason. It turned out that the forced transfer of the Yellow Turban soldiers had such side effects, and Yang Rui immediately understood.
The NPCs in the game all have specific personalities. In Yang Rui's opinion, 10,000 NPCs will die, and they are not his own leaders anyway, but Zhang Ning is "really unbearable" about this. If he does not pay attention to his feelings, it may lead to a decrease in his loyalty.
"What would it be if these Yellow Turban soldiers were killed in battle and then resurrected with points in the plot mission of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Yang Rui had already planned to give up letting Zhang Ning transform into the Yellow Turban soldiers, but he just mentioned it casually. But this sentence made Zhang Ning's eyes lit up.
"If the lord is willing to spend the mission points to resurrect him, he can completely possess the right to belong to these soldiers!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Rui's occasional words. Zhang Ning agreed with his method. As a result, the two reached a consensus and immediately transformed 10,000 leaders in the city with good physical fitness into 1st-level Yellow Turban soldiers. Yang Rui also added a defensive force out of thin air. Resurrecting 1st-level soldiers does not require much points, even if all 10,000 people are resurrected, they only have 200,000 points. For Yang Rui, he is still affordable and willing to do so!
It has to be said that the situation of Zhang Ning using the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order" was still very spectacular. At that time, Zhang Ning's magic sword rushed, and the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order" immediately burst out from him, flew into the sky and turned into a huge "peace" pattern. He immediately rushed to the ten thousand leaders selected below, turning into a large yellow curtain to cover him for about a cup of tea. After that, the "Yellow Turban Transfer Order" flew back to Zhang Ning again. Looking at the ten thousand people, there was already a yellow turban on each person's head...
Yang Rui just a little admired the light and shadow effect in the game. After only half of the process, he started the Feng Fei Carpet and rushed towards Jincheng, temporarily handing over the defense of Ledu City to Zhang Ning, Li Dong and others.
There was no threat to the Western Qiang rebels' counterattack in the first few rounds, and the more they reached, the more intense it became. Therefore, it is better to obtain reinforcements sooner rather than later!
