304 Logistics and enemy intelligence
304 Logistics support and enemy intelligence
Three months, that is, the game calendar is around mid-June 189. After three months of intense rest, the Little White League achieved two expected goals.
One is the Little White Alliance, which unified most of the thousands of villages in Wuwei County. Although occasionally encountering some villages that are either open or secretly resisted, it cannot stop the huge influx of the Little White Alliance. Most of the remaining player villages that are unwilling to join the league are weak. The various game rules formulated by Xiaobai Town have also been successfully implemented in many villages.
The other is that the bureaucratic system in Wuwei City is vigorously rectified. The new prefect Xiaobai personally declared the ban and strictly enforced the law and discipline. Anyone who violated the law will be killed regardless of the size of the law. He also proposed that several serious criminals be killed by the officials from Wuwei Prison. For a time, the politics of Wuwei City was clear and all the evil officials were trapped. All the officials who had been corrupt and abused the law were buried in their heads and did not dare to violate the law and discipline.
Even players dare not commit casualties in Wuwei City.
Afterwards, Zhan Xiaobai cleaned up a group of inaction and mixed NPC officials in Wuwei City, vigorously promoted talents from young and promising disciples from the Wuwei gentry clans and other young and promising disciples, and took important official positions.
The aristocrats and bureaucrats in Wuwei City began to gradually realize the majesty of the new prefect, and some even dared not face Zhan Xiaobai.
After the political clarity of Wuwei City, the economy began to improve.
In terms of economy, relaxed management methods, tax exemptions and encouraged free and open trade. The economy of Wuwei City quickly became active and the people's hearts rose rapidly. Many suburban NPCs moved into the city to live, and even a large number of caravans of Qiang Di and Xiongnus were involved in trade in Weiwu City.
The improvement of these two basic aspects has made the Little White Alliance more and more powerful.
......
Xiaobai Town.
In the past three months, whenever Zhan Xiaobai has time, he will take the core players of Xiaobai Town to investigate and survey the entire Wuwei County, and find out the foundation of the entire Wuwei County as much as possible. Mountains, rivers, various minerals, forests, land, leveling land, resources, and whether the village trade is prosperous... all aspects of information, find out the details, and have a clear idea in your heart.
It was not until mid-June that Zhan Xiaobai returned to Xiaobai Town and began to preside over the issue of sending troops to Zhangye. Sending troops to Zhangye and fighting horses was planned three months ago. After three months of preparations from the Little White Alliance, it is basically the same now, and it is time to take action.
Xiaobai Town held a small internal high-level meeting.
Zhan Xiaobai, Jianba, Qiushui, Chunqiu Young Hero, A Fei, Wutong, Tianbao, Black Tiger, Mo Xiaofeng, passionate and heroic, loyal Yuntian, Lingyun, Xiaojing... Only dozens of core players from Xiaobai Town and villages under the town attended.
Everyone knew what to discuss and was excited.
Zhan Xiaobai glanced at everyone and said, "The time is roughly ripe for the expedition and horse games determined three months ago. So let's discuss internally how to fight this battle and how confident it is. War is to fight logistics, and Jianba has always been responsible for logistics support. Now Jianba will introduce our basic situation to everyone so that everyone can have a deep understanding of the basic situation of both the enemy and us."
Zhan Xiaobai thought to Jianba next to his right head.
Jianba nodded, flipped through a thick account book in his hand, and said to everyone: "The information in my hand involves the following aspects: our army's NPC soldiers, generals, food and grass, military pay, medicine, arms, siege equipment, and enemy intelligence. Below, I will introduce the situation in these aspects to you."
Everyone listened in a hurry, afraid of missing out on the important information.
This war is important and is the largest battle in Xiaobai Town in history. No one dares to be careless. Even A Fei, who has always been careless, sat upright and looked solemn.
Jianba paused and said, "Let's talk about the military and horses first. The Wuwei City defenders 13,600 (eight thousand heavy spears, four thousand heavy bows, one thousand heavy cavalry, six hundred guards), the Gulangxia Pass defenders 2,000 (one thousand heavy spears, one thousand heavy bows), and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The total force is 35,600. But what we can mobilize is only part of it. Xiaobai see which part is better to mobilize to the expedition?"
Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "I think he can only use 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, as well as the 4,000 heavy swords stationed in Wuwei City, and 1,000 heavy bows. A total of 25,000 troops went to Zhangye. The 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was the main force in attacking the Ma Wan Army. After capturing Zhangye City, 4,000 heavy swords and 1,000 heavy bows should be used to guard the city."
Everyone looked at each other and showed a worried look.
With 25,000 troops going to fight, our military strength was very tight. Because after three months of rest, the Ma Wan Army itself had a heavy armored force of up to 15,000 and occupied the advantage of city defense. They only spent 25,000 troops, but they were afraid they could not take down Zhangye City.
However, they also knew that only so many troops could be dispatched. The sky-high cost of recruiting soldiers was simply a bottomless pit, and Wuwei City could not afford more money to recruit troops.
Seeing that everyone was worried, Qiu Shui immediately cheered everyone up and said, "We do not have an advantage in the NPC military power. However, we have a huge advantage in the player army. The Little White Alliance can mobilize players in the entire Wuwei County to participate in the battle. This force will reach tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 troops to fight Zhangye. It is the largest player battle group in the entire game, which is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the NPC military power."
As Qiu Shui said this, everyone present suddenly became confident. The appeal of the Little White Alliance in Weiwu County is not fake. Unifying the power of thousands of player villages in one county, only the Little White Alliance did the entire game.
The young hero of Chunqiu added a question and said: "Once our army goes to Zhangye, the guards of Wuwei County will decline. Han Sui and Ma Teng are likely to take the opportunity to attack. In order to prevent this situation, I think Gulangxia needs to double the defenders to ensure that the pass is foolproof."
Zhan Xiaobai said: "Well, it's good, this proposal is very good. In this way, a thousand heavy spears from Wuwei City and a thousand heavy bows passed. In addition, the king's gun was adjusted and Zhao Wu also went there to help guard the Gulangxia Pass. There should be no problem with three generals guarding Gulangxia."
Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "But in that case, the guards of Wuwei City will drop to 6,600, and the city will be empty."
Zhan Xiaobai said: "It's okay. Just guard the Gulang Gorge in the east and suppress the horses in the west. We will be firmly controlled by Wuwei County. No one can turn the sky over. Jianba, please continue to explain."
Jianba continued: "For the generals on the expedition, this time Xiaobai will personally fight to unify the overall situation. In addition, Jiang Xu is the main general of NPC, Jiang Jiong is the deputy general, commanding 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry. There are more than 100 low-level NPC generals in Wuwei, who are middle and lower-level officers, and will be added to Jiang Xu's army. Hey, the lineup is luxurious. I guess there is no second player force in the whole game to form such a huge lineup of generals."
Wutong smiled and said, "My elder brother is still very good. I got Jiang Xu early, otherwise I would have no general to go to war today."
Jiang Xu plays against horses. According to the force, Jiang Xu is very sure to win, and there are also Jiang Jiong and hundreds of NPC low-level generals as support. This is their real killer weapon to go to Zhangye.
If Jiang Xu had not led the army and could not exert the combat effectiveness of the NPC army, they would not have been willing to take the initiative to send troops to Zhangye to fight against this famous warlord in Xiliang.
He sighed with passionate voice: "We have too few military generals in history. If there are one or two more powerful military generals, such as Pang De, or Yan Xing, under Han Sui, you will be a breeze to take down the horse and play. There is no need to go through so much trouble now."
Yiqi Yuntian curled his lips and said angrily: "Okay, you might as well invite Lu Bu to come. Take three thousand light horses to Zhangye City to challenge. You can play the horse with a halberd. Don't pay attention to this guy, he has already suffered from fantasy."
He muttered passionately, "I'm not an assumption, right? I can't afford to invite Mr. Lu Bu. At most, I'll ask my brother Long to kill the horse and play."
Everyone laughed.
Jianba continued: "In terms of food and grass. In the past three months, the grain harvest in the villages in Weiwu County has been good. Wuwei City has collected a lot from the villages in the county. Now the city has stockpiled enough food and grass for 30,000 troops for ten months, totaling 900,000 stones. The army is stationed in the city and the food consumes less food and grass, which is one-third of the normal amount. Once the battle is set out, the food and grass will be consumed, and there will be a lot of food and grass along the way. 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry went to the battle, and our food and grass can only be supported for 4 months. If it exceeds 4 months, there will be a risk of food shortage. It is also said that we will end the war to fight horses within 4 months."
Everyone nodded.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Four months are enough. According to my estimate, you can decide the victory or defeat with Ma Wan in the first month or two months at the latest. The ideal thing is that Jiang Xu and Ma Wan directly fight, kill Ma Wan in front of the army, and win directly... The worst case is that Ma Wan uses turtle tactics to defend Zhangye City from beginning to end. The main force of our army is cavalry, and it is difficult to attack the city, so we have no choice... But he cannot be afraid of us so that he dare not go out of the city to fight, so the chance of this situation is extremely small."
Tianbao said: "Of course. Ma Wan doesn't like us very much. The last time he withdrew his troops was because Fenyang Hou was making trouble for him, otherwise he would have to stay in Wuwei City for a long time. In another two months, even if we don't send troops to attack him, he is afraid that he will send troops to attack us. From the mentality, Ma Wan will not use such extremely conservative tactics to fight us, but will actively attack us. We can completely tempt him to fight in the field outside the city and avoid the adverse conditions of the city."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Jian Badao: "The current military salary in Wuwei City is 150,000 jin, which can support 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to go to the expedition for five months. This part of the military salary is enough. In addition, it is medicine. Wuwei City, Xiaobai Town, and more than 20 towns in the league have produced a large number of gold-creation medicines, marching scattered medicines, a total of 200,000 pills. It can basically ensure that each NPC scattered medicines and ten pills of marching scattered medicines. In terms of maintaining blood value and physical strength, our army will have great advantages."
Everyone present almost took a breath. 150,000 jin of military pay and 200,000 pills of medicine, these medicines are almost a mountain. The current market price of Jinchuang Pharmaceutical is 15 copper per pill, and the march sanitary is 12 copper per pill. Here is a market value of 2.7 million copper coins, which is simply a burning money.
Mo Xiaofeng, Heihu and others exclaimed.
"Why do you need so much military pay?"
"This money is enough to kill a village player."
Jianba didn't care and shrugged, "It's all taxes from Wuwei City. In addition, Wuwei City's official monopoly trade profits are too much because they are not paid to the court. These military pay is raised desperately, otherwise this battle would not be fought."
But everyone began to calculate the expenses of this expedition.
A Fei calculated carefully and found that the 2.7 million copper coins of the medicine were only 2,700 guan. He quickly patted his chest and was shocked, saying, "Fortunately, the medicine is only 2.7 million copper coins, which is much less than the military salary of 150,000 guan. Grandma, I can't tell that these soldiers are so fed!"
Wutong said in a mourning manner: "It's not just about eating money, but also eating grain. How much is the price of 900,000 shi of grain? How long does it take for my Wutong village to produce so much food? If this large amount of grain can be left, the entire Wuwei County will probably not be short of food."
He bit his tongue passionately, "My God, I can earn about a hundred knots in a month. This money is enough to give each of my brothers a set of the best high-end armor produced in the villages and towns in the whole game."
Jianba looked at the expressions of everyone and said, "In addition, siege equipment is essential. The large-scale equipment manufacturing department of Wuwei City has created a total of twenty skin collision cars and one hundred large catapult cars. In addition, climbing the ladders and other things can allow military craftsmen to manufacture on-site around Zhangye City. Five thousand heavy armored infantry need to be equipped with 500 small combat vehicles, and they can be manufactured quickly after working hard."
He didn't say the cost of this batch of equipment, so as not to see the deeply irritated poor people in front of him.
Jian Badao: "This is the basic situation for us. As for the alliance player’s villages and towns, it depends on Xiaobai."
Zhan Xiaobai said: "Sword Ba has already introduced the military situation of soldiers, generals, food and grass, military pay, medicine, military preparation, siege equipment, etc., and there is also the enemy's military situation. Now, A Fei has been in Zhangye County for a few months and has learned the most clearly. Let's explain the situation of the enemy."
A Fei, who was still crying for a lot of copper coins just now, immediately returned to his seriousness.
"yes!"
A Fei said seriously: "After the order of my elder brother, I, A Fei, went to the tiger's den to investigate the top secret information below the enemy. The following is reported: Zhangye NPC warlord Ma Wan, currently has 15,000 to 20,000 heavy armored soldiers, with unknown types of troops and specific numbers. They are scattered in Zhangye City, as well as Shandan, Pingyuan, Linze, Gaotai and other places. The main force is about 10,000 in Zhangye City, and there are about 10,000 troops in the rest of the country. Zhangye City has no other famous NPC generals except Ma Wan. Zhangye City is not rich. Ma Wan has launched a large-scale recruitment several months ago, which has exhausted Zhangye City's wealth, so it is impossible for him to recruit more troops in the short term.
In addition, in terms of player power, Zhangye County’s player villages and towns are about 1,400, which is about half less than our Wuwei County.
Fenyang Town, the largest player force in Zhangye County, was severely attacked by Ma Wan and was later forced to join the Ma Wan camp. However, Ma Wan did not trust Fenyang Hou and forcibly disbanded the Fenyang Alliance. Fenyang Hou was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Wan and secretly organized a group of player villages to play against Ma Wan.
Fenyang Town has lost its status as the strongest player village town in Zhangye County. There are dozens of large and small player village alliances in Zhangye County, with hundreds of villages and towns being alliances, and more than ten fewer villages and towns being alliances. Currently, they all rely on horses to play warlords, and malicious attacks often occur between each other. Many villages and towns have been destroyed.
According to my observation, the villages and towns of Zhangye County are completely in a state of chaos. If it weren't for the strong oppression of horses, I would have probably started to fight in chaos in hundreds of countries. The villages and towns of Zhangye County are not enough to fight against our Little White Alliance. In addition, I have sent drawing players to draw a detailed distribution map of the power distribution of Zhangye County, and during the visit of friendly villages in Zhangye County, I collected all the conflicts and conflicts between the village alliances and various village forces, which will help our army to go to Zhangye. When we go to Zhangye, our army will win!"
After A Fei finished speaking, he handed over the map and collected information to Zhan Xiaobai.
Everyone applauded, "It's done well!" "Haha, Ah Fei has many methods."
A Fei immediately laughed, "Thank you, it's all for everyone to get rich to complete this task!"
"A Fei did this intelligence work very meticulously and seriously, and did not disappoint my expectations. These two items will come in handy." Zhan Xiaobai took the Zhangye County map and information booklet, looked through it for a while, and was satisfied.
However, the situation between the villages of Zhangye County is extremely complicated, which is beneficial to the Little White Alliance to quickly take Zhangye County. However, after taking Zhangye County, the difficulty of governance is extremely high, I am afraid that the chaos in Zhangye County will be difficult to solve for a while.
Both sides of our logistics and enemy intelligence have been prepared.
