Chapter 23 The Yellow Turban Catastrophe (3)
"Ding! Player, you kill the level 20 Yellow Turban Soldier and gain 75 experience points."
"Ding! Completion level of achievement 'Ten Thousand Killers': 37/10000."
"Ding! Player, you kill the level 20 Yellow Turban Soldier and gain 75 experience points."
…
Chu Tian's blood was boiling. Even though he was only in his early 20s with force, he still led Xiang Yong to rush forward and drove the Yellow Turban Army from the entrance of the village to the outside of the village, leaving corpses everywhere.
After the Yellow Turban leader was killed, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army plummeted and they were defeated.
The iron knife struck Chutian's leather armor, and a slash appeared on the leather armor, causing severe pain. Even though the player's pain in "Lord" has dropped a lot, it is still heartbreaking, and he was almost killed by the Yellow Turban Soldiers.
"Village Chief, are you okay?"
A long sword pierced the chest of the Yellow Turban Soldier, and Wu Shang killed the Yellow Turban Soldier after the Warring States Period.
"Can't die..."
Chu Tian checked his status and found that he was seriously injured. All attributes were reduced by 80%. His originally low strength was reduced to single digits, and it also caused bleeding effects.
"Li Lan, come and stop the village chief's bleeding!"
"coming!"
Li Lan carried a wooden medicine box on his back and hurried to Chutian's side. He opened the medicine box, used styptic grass to heal Chutian's injuries, and wrapped it with gauze.
"Zhao Qi is also injured!"
The bronze-level hero Zhao Qi was also injured by the Yellow Turban soldiers when he fought with them.
The small-scale battle later turned into a melee. At least eighty Yellow Turban soldiers were killed in Xiacun, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers fled in rout.
Because of doctor Li Lan's treatment, Chu Tian's injuries did not worsen. There will be no scars in "Lord", otherwise it would be too cruel for male players with obsessive-compulsive disorder or female players who love beauty.
"This time we captured eleven war horses and twenty-three yellow scarf soldiers. The spoils include 10 taels of gold, 237 taels of silver, tens of thousands of copper coins, hundreds of weapons. There is also a special architectural drawing."
Elder Li reported the battle report to Chu Tian with a look of excitement on his face. For Xia Cun, this was a great victory worthy of being recorded in the lord's diary.
Although only eighty Yellow Turbans were eliminated and twenty-three were captured...
In "Lords", there are several ways to deal with prisoners of war, from least to most severe: release, surrender, slavery, and execution.
Chu Tian, who was short of labor, chose to enslave these twenty-three Yellow Turban soldiers.
In addition to the normal population, Xia Village now has 23 more coolies, who will be engaged in logging, mining, farming and other production activities. Unlike free people, almost all the fruits of the coolies' labor belong to the lord. In other words, this group of coolies will
Prisoners are free labor, as long as they don't starve to death.
The disadvantages of choosing slavery are reduced security in the village, coolies and the risk of uprising.
However, if these Yellow Turban soldiers are directly recruited and surrendered, the popular sentiment of the villagers who have just become enemies with them will decline.
Chu Tian took over the special architectural drawings that he had collected from the Yellow Turban leader. This turned out to be a second-level prison cell construction drawing.
It could just be used to imprison the captured Yellow Turban soldiers and then enslave them to work.
"It's better to make money faster by fighting."
Chutian couldn't help but sigh when he saw the weapons, gold, silver and copper coins piled on the ground. At the beginning, the Mongol Empire relied on continuous conquests and snowballing to strengthen itself.
There are also disadvantages to attaching great importance to military affairs and despising agriculture and commerce, that is, once defeated, the economy of the entire territory will quickly collapse, and the rapidly expanding territory will soon rebel and split.
"Transport all the loot back to the village, count it, put it in the warehouse, and then distribute it."
Chutian asked the villagers to take care of the precious war horses and gave bows and arrows to the elite infantry. The infantry in the front row was responsible for blocking the enemy's offensive, while the infantry in the rear row used bows and arrows to shoot.
"A total of 4 elite infantrymen and 35 rural warriors were killed, and many others were injured."
Hua Mulan reports to Chu Tian about Xia Cun's losses in this battle.
The death ratio was almost 1:10! The pikemen led by Hua Mulan faced off the attack of twenty yellow scarf cavalry, and only lost 4 people. In comparison, the losses of Xiang Yong were very heavy. The level 15 Xiang Yong was weaker than
Level 20 Yellow Turban Soldier.
The concept of the elite soldier route is vividly reflected in "Lords". The level of an elite soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles must be high, and their morale declines slowly. In contrast, new recruits will soon collapse due to the rapid decline in morale. At the same time, a good
Commander-in-chief heroes are particularly valuable. Hua Mulan is a force-oriented hero, and she can still bring a 25% bonus, which is evident.
"To appease the families of the fallen heroes, their future taxes can be appropriately reduced."
Chu Tian found that even if he won, the people's hearts would inevitably be affected. If a strong man of a family was killed in battle and the family's financial resources were tight, the people's hearts would decline.
"Alas, there are natural and man-made disasters. When will the world be at peace?" Elder Li sighed, "I will go and appease these people right now."
Elder Li went to appease the people, and his daughter Li Lan took doctors and apprentices to treat the injured Xiang Yong and restore them to fighting strength.
Chutian's condition changed from serious injury to minor injury due to the treatment he received.
There are still some differences between "Lord" and reality. For example, Chu Tian was stabbed with a knife in his armor. In reality, it is estimated that he would have to lie down for a year and a half to recover.
The Yellow Turban Army may come back at any time, so the villagers of Xia Village race against time to repair the wooden door at the entrance of the village and bury the bodies at the same time.
The captured weapons, bows and arrows were distributed to the infantry and Xiangyong of Xia Village to improve their combat effectiveness.
In the afternoon of that day, no Yellow Turban soldiers attacked, but Chutian received a request for help from Xiaozhu Village. Xiaozhu Village did not have a professional military camp, but only a rural camp, which may not be able to block the Yellow Turban soldiers like Xia Cun. Xia Cun suffered a large number of casualties in this battle.
It can be seen that Xiangyong's combat ability is worrying, and there are no king-level heroes in Xiaozhu Village.
The military rating provided by just one Mulan accounts for half of Xia Cun's military rating.
"The neighboring village is our ally. They are willing to pay money to hire our troops as reinforcements. The neighboring village is only five kilometers away from us. As long as we march by force, we can reach it soon. Zhao Qi, Wu Shang, you two
We are leading the soldiers to defend the village and not to go out to fight. Hua Mulan, we will lead the infantry to support."
When Chu Tian learned that his allies were in trouble, he immediately counted his soldiers and went to support Xiaozhu Village.
Not only because Xiaozhu Village is willing to pay the price, but also because Chutian has selfish motives. When the function of occupying other players' territories is opened in the future, Xiaozhu Village, which is only five kilometers away from Xia Village, is likely to become a vassal of Xia Village.
It will even be merged with Xiacun. If Xiaozhu Village is destroyed now, it will be a pity for the hundreds of villagers, rice shops, businesses and mulberry gardens in Xiaozhu Village.
Hua Mulan gathered the remaining 46 elite infantry and followed Chu Tian to rescue Xiaozhu Village. Chu Tian used the eleven captured horses and Xia Cun's original four horses to form a fifteen-man cavalry team.
If infantry is equipped with war horses, they will not become cavalry. War horses are just tools for transportation.
