337 Return to Xiaobai Town

Zhan Xiaobai sent people to place 100 NPC herders and 200 domesticated grassland wolves from Lushan and the small village of Lu's village on the military horse farm. The ten beast clans that imprisoned the Blood Wolf King were specially sent to guard the NPC.

Lu Shan was appointed as the chief horse trainer and wolf trainer of the Five Shandan Royal Army Horse Farms.

In the next three or four days, Zhan Xiaobai and Lu Shan carefully studied the details of the establishment of the "Blood Wolf Rider": how much cost it will cost, the combat effectiveness and cost-effectiveness after forming the Blood Wolf Rider. These details are directly related to the scale of the "Blood Wolf Rider" in the future and whether it is cost-effective.

They specially used one light cavalry and one blood wolf cavalry for the experiment.

From a cost perspective,

A "first-level Blood Wolf Rider" consists of 1 level 30 ordinary soldier (1 guan), 1 level 30 low-grade war horse (2 guan), 1 to 3 level 20 blood wolf (1 guan to 3 guan), a complete set of standard light armor sets (1 guan), including "helmet, armor, wrist guards, boots, belts", a level 30 iron gun (200 copper), a pair of level 30 iron tire bows and quiveres (500 copper), and a set of horse harness (1 guan).

According to the number of blood wolf configured, the total cost of a first-level blood wolf rider is 6.8 to 8.8 guan.

To form a light cavalry with the same configuration but without the Blood Wolf, the total cost is 5.8 guan.

(The above costs are based on the market standard price. If you recruit directly from the barracks, the price of level 30 light cavalry is 30 stakes per cavalry, which is nearly 6 times higher than the light cavalry configured by the player himself.)

From the perspective of combat effectiveness,

Assume that a level 30 light cavalry combat power is 1. A well-trained level 20 ordinary blood wolf has a combat power of about 1/3 of the light cavalry, which is 0.3.

The combat power of a "1 light cavalry + 1 blood wolf = 1 blood wolf cavalry" is 1.5. The combat power of "1 light cavalry + 2 blood wolf = 1 blood wolf cavalry" is 2.2. The combat power of "1 light cavalry + 3 blood wolf = 1 blood wolf cavalry" is 3.

(In cooperation, the combat power displayed by "1 Light Cavalry + 1 Blood Wolf" is not simply a sum, but a better combat power. 1+0.3≠1.3.1+0.3≈1.5. Similarly, the combat power of "1 Light Cavalry + 2 Blood Wolf" is about ≈2.2.)

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of a Blood Wolf Rider is 1.5 to 3 times that of a "light cavalry". The cost-effectiveness is as high as 1.28 to 2.56. [Light cavalry cost/blood wolf rider cost × (1.5 to 3)]

With this conversion, the comparison results will come out. That is to say, at the same cost, the combat power of the "Blood Wolf Cavalry" is 1.28 to 2.56 times that of the combat power of the "Light Cavalry".

A blood wolf rider is equipped with 3 blood wolfs. If there are more blood cavalry, the blood cavalry will not be able to control the movement of the blood wolf. If it weren't for this limitation, I'm afraid that the combat effectiveness of 1 blood wolf rider will be more terrifying and has a higher cost-effectiveness. Of course, the more blood wolf rider is equipped with a blood wolf rider, the more meat consumed in daily life will be doubled, and the logistics supply cost is very high, which to a certain extent offsets the cost-effectiveness advantage of the blood wolf rider.

Fortunately, there is nothing in the grassland of Damaying, but there is no shortage of forage and wild beasts. Just let the blood wolf catch the wild beasts and eat it. In addition to the need to bring your own meat to feed the blood wolf during war, you do not usually need meat, and the logistics supply cost tends to be 0.

The initial "Blood Wolf Cavalry" has a greater advantage than the "Light Cavalry".

As for the super-level "Blood Wolf Cavalry", the configuration is extremely high: Level 50 Blood Wolf King, Level 50 Top Soldier, Level 50 Top War Horse, Level 50 Cavalry Set. The combat power is enough to compete with the first-class troops in the game.

The task of forming the "Blood Wolf Rider" was pressed on Lu Shan.

In this Royal Military Horse Farm, the conditions are far superior to the Xiqiang grassland. We need money, people, and horses, so it is not theoretically difficult to form the "Blood Wolf Cavalry". The war horses, blood wolf, and equipment of the Little White Alliance are all bred by themselves, and the cost can be reduced to a minimum.

Zhan Xiaobai was a little excited. After his horse horse king and more than a dozen mares, the dozen foals he gave birth to were actually top-grade 0 foals, none of which were low-grade or medium-grade. However, many of the ordinary stallions and mares were given birth to low-grade, and very few of the middle-grade foals were high-grade.

It seems that the better the breed of horses, the better the cubs they give birth to.

He specifically instructed Lu Shan to use the breeding of excellent horse-level horses as much as possible in the future to eliminate those inferior horses. Lu Shan wrote down one by one.

Mid October.

After Zhan Xiaobai arranged the horse breeding of the military horse farm and the construction of the "Blood Wolf Cavalry", he left Zhangye and returned to Wuwei County with a group of players' personal guards.

After staying in Zhangye County for nearly two months, the alliances of Zhangye County have basically lost their intention to rebel, and there is no need for him to stay here any longer. He left Jiang Jiong, Jiang Xu, led the NPC legion to defend Zhangye City, and A Fei led ten Little White Alliance player legions to guard Shandan Town. These two military forces are enough to quickly defeat any Zhangye Alliance force. The Shandan Royal Army Horse Farm is guarded by five NPC Qiang generals under Jiang Xu, and has thousands of fast-reacting cavalry. The five player alliances around the grassland are all thinking about how to raise war horses to make a profit, and will never offend the Little White Alliance easily.

Zhan Xiaobai and others went to Wuwei City first and had some exchanges with NPC civil and military officials in Wuwei City. Although he was the prefect of Wuwei City, his government affairs were actually delegated to NPC famous scholar Jiang Huai, who handled all trivial government affairs on his behalf. Jiang Huai's political value was far higher than Zhan Xiaobai, and his level of government affairs was higher than Zhan Xiaobai. Based on the principle of making the best use of the people, Zhan Xiaobai could only let the former village chief of Jiangjia Village work hard on his behalf.

After staying in Wuwei City for a few days, checking the various government affairs in Wuwei City, there was nothing wrong and then returning to Xiaobai Town in Wuwei County.

Xiaobai Town, the stone paving road outside the town leads to the Perfect Town - Moxiao Town - Batu Town - Wuwei City, Wutong Town - Zongheng Town - Tiger and Leopard Town - Warring States Town, Hutou Mountain...

With Xiaobai Town as the center, spider webs are generally dense and well-connected, connecting all villages above the village level within 100 miles.

Xiaobai Town has one big town and five large towns as the core of the industry, and with the other villages and towns as auxiliary, the super production capacity in this traffic spider web forms a huge tension, radiating villages and towns hundreds of miles from Wuwei County.

Now Xiaobai Town has become the center of economy, trade, commerce, manufacturing and talent in Wuwei County second only to Wuwei City. In this circle, the mobile population of players is highly dense and creating huge wealth.

Countless players in Wuwei County either walk, ride horses, or ride carriages. Transport vehicles pull raw materials, goods, and bodyguards escort the large caravan of Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce, and frequently travel to Xiaobai Town and surrounding player villages and towns along these stone paving roads, with a bustling scene.

Even the once weak villages such as Daqi Village and Hualing Village have become satellite villages in Xiaobai Town because they are very close to Xiaobai Town, and now they are prosperous and uncontrollable. Many players who cannot enter Xiaobai Town to develop in Xiaobai Town have developed in the surrounding small villages.

Zhan Xiaobai and his group returned to Xiaobai Town from Wuwei City. Although they did not notify them in advance, the news quickly reached Xiaobai Town.

The carnival suddenly became lively in Xiaobai Town. The elders, player corps commanders, and NPC officials of Xiaobai Town came to the town gate to greet them. Countless ordinary players rushed outside the town and cheered Zhan Xiaobai into the village.

There are countless invitations for old friends in the town to hold banquets and greetings, and countless invitations from other village chiefs and elders.

Anything that can be pushed has been pushed.

However, some old friends cannot refuse the kindness of their kindness, they must give face and attend banquets. Not only do they have to attend, they also have to toast to the backbone of important officials and cadres, Qiu Shui, Jian Ba, deputy mayor Li A San, a group of NPC civil and military officials, the commanders of various legions of the Little White Alliance, the backbone players of the Little White Chamber of Commerce, and other village leaders who are visiting in Xiaobai Town are indispensable.

Zhan Xiaobai simply invited them all to one place and solved it at one time.

There are also some banquets for the mayor of important ally, and he also needs to attend. Now, unlike before, you can find a few excuses to turn them off. As the leader of the Little White Alliance, he strengthens the relationship between villages and towns within the Little White Alliance, and many private transactions need to be completed in the banquet.

The taverns in Xiaobai Town were lively for several days.

In his spare time, Zhan Xiaobai didn’t have much time to rest. In the Executive Yuan study, he began to deal with the Jianba and Qiushui submitted a lot of military affairs reports, Xiaobai Town financial reports, Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce reports, construction reports, and other various reports.

According to the importance of the report, it is classified into different levels.

Of course, it is impossible to read the piles of reports in detail one by one. He just briefly read the important content and grasp the general situation. Despite this, browsing thousands of reports is still very time-consuming.

Qiu Shui stood beside Zhan Xiaobai in advance to answer his inquiries.

Before he knew it, Zhan Xiaobai kept seeing that there was a candle on the candlestick in the desk at twelve o'clock in the evening. A candle could illuminate for half an hour. In a flash, seven or eight candles were replaced on the candlestick, and the remaining extinguished candle heads remained on the candlestick.

Qiu Shui stood behind Zhan Xiaobai for four hours, silently watching him browse the report.

She was a little tired when she stood there, but she didn't look for a chair to sit. Compared with Brother Bai's hard work, what's this kind of exhaustion? Brother Bai started socializing since he got up in the morning, drank so much wine, and was busy until the evening. He had to concentrate on reading the various reports for several hours in the study, and write down the contents in it without any mistakes.

I really don’t know where I got so much energy, aren’t tired at all?

She even would rather be tired and let Brother Bai rest early. However, she knew she couldn't persuade her. According to Brother Bai's habit, what she could do today would never be delayed until tomorrow.

Zhan Xiaobai has some important industrial reports on hand. After reading a report called "Wuwei County Arms Manufacturing Industry Initial Survey Report - Low, mid-range equipment demand surged by 37%, market supply exceeds demand", he let go and pondered.

This is just a manufacturing statistical report in one county in Wuwei County, but it reflects the trend of the entire game.

It has been one month since Dong Zhuo’s “Abandoned Barracks Order” was issued, and it has gradually shown the power of this ban. While it has severely hit the barracks trading markets of cities and villages and towns, it has strongly stimulated the players’ desire to “assemble and configure NPC soldiers”.

Players configure their own soldiers and show off to other players how powerful the soldiers they assemble and configure are, which has formed a trend.

Accompanying this trend is the fanaticism of the equipment manufacturing industry in various villages and towns in the entire game. This has promoted the fanaticism of the game. Players who play this game continue to refresh the maximum number of players - if there is no hidden manipulation behind this, it is difficult to believe it. Because the long-term benefits of the smart NPC action to the game companies are obvious. Although the game companies have been strongly stating that they have never interfered in the game process and will never interfere with the interests of players.

Of course, the benefits of the "Abandoned Barracks Order" to the players' villages and towns are also obvious.

The barracks were abolished, and the strength competition of various player alliances and npc warlord forces had to be highly concentrated on the production capacity of weapons and arms, and train the army by themselves.

Or it can be said that if you cannot buy soldiers, you can only build soldiers. It delays the time for NPC soldiers to reorganize the army, and you cannot buy soldiers directly from the barracks and bring them to the battlefield.

The basic industrial strength of each village plays a decisive role.

The Little White Alliance remained highly silent on the incident of "Shengshi Network Company may be manipulating intelligent programs in secret to change the game process" hype in this game. The important reason is that this is quite beneficial to the Little White Alliance.

The Little White Alliance holds the largest production bases in the hands of players - Wuwei County and Zhangye County. With the production capacity of the two counties, it is even enough to compete with first-class NPC warlords Ma Teng, Han Sui and others. As long as the Little White Alliance does not make major mistakes, no other player alliance forces can surpass them in the short term, and the gap will widen. This advantageous position will continue until the Battle of Hulao Pass in January next year.

Subsequently, the world's players and the NPC warlords' power structure will have a major reshuffle.

Therefore, the Little White Alliance will naturally remain silent in this incident and quickly and low-keyly adjust the industrial layout to adapt to the development of the situation.

Zhan Xiaobai was thinking, and suddenly noticed that Qiu Shui was still there. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest first. I guess it will take a while before I can finish reading these reports. Tomorrow you will find out the statistical report on the number of NPC soldiers we have."

Qiu Shui pursed her lips and said, "Well, okay, I'll find the NPC military report tomorrow morning. It's already very late, Brother Bai also has a early rest. I'm in the bedroom of the wing room, just call me if you have any questions."

Qiu Shui then went back to her wing room in the Executive Yuan and had not been removed from the line.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled faintly and shook his head helplessly, and continued to read the other industrial evaluation reports, "Yizhou, Xiaoya Alliance 200 Villages and Towns Arms Industry Survey and Evaluation Report", "Sili, Silent Alliance Villages and Towns Arms Industry Survey and Evaluation Report", "Sili, Shengshi Alliance Villages and Towns Arms Industry Survey and Evaluation Report",.........
