Chapter 379: Pick-up
In the north of Jizhou, a force marched along the riverbank. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a blue-robed young man in the team, his eyes were smart, his attitude was leisurely, and he was holding a grass stalk in his mouth, free and easy. The blue-robed young man was holding a halberd in one hand, which looked light and effortless, the ground by the river was soft, and the footprints he had stepped on along the way were deeper than all the others, which showed that the halberd was not necessarily as weightless as he appeared.
"Wang Ji, how far is it?" The blue-robed young man asked.
Wang Ji ran a few steps and said: "Second general, the ferry is almost here, we will cross the Qinghe River and enter Youzhou, in front of which is Piaoyuyi, which belongs to the boundary of Yuyang. ”
The young man said lazily: "You may encounter wolves at any time when you cross the river, so let's be careful and cheer up." ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ji is the first military general to be transferred to the Zhulu Leader, and this blue-robed young man is of course Qu Chen. Qu Chen and Yu Buzhi married Jin Lan, the second among the three brothers, and people who were familiar with Qu Chen in the territory liked to call him "Second General".
Qu Chen and Wang Ji led their troops north, preparing to enter Youzhou.
Since its establishment, the special territory of the Flying Fish Territory has been facing the problem of insufficient population, and some time ago it ventured into the area controlled by the Black Mountain Army to capture the villagers, barely enough of the population needed for the Flying Fish Territory to advance to a first-class city. After the upgrade was completed, some villagers were transferred to enrich the two dependent territories, and the population of the Flying Fish Territory became a hollow shell.
Special territories need to evolve.
The terrain around the flying fish collar determines that the construction of stone city walls can take a lot of advantage, and the north and south mountain walls are natural city walls, which reduces a lot of engineering volume, not only saves construction funds, but also greatly shortens the construction period. This means that the Flying Fish Collar can complete construction works faster.
In this way, the biggest shortcoming that restricts the upgrade of the Flying Fish Collar is the population.
The scale of the special territory increases with the main base, and the Deer Territory is already a second-level city, and the Flying Fish Territory can also follow up, but several prerequisites for territory upgrades must be complete. For the Flying Fish Territory, the urgent problem to be solved at present is to increase the population size of the territory as soon as possible.
Qu Chen wanted to continue to collect the wool of the Black Mountain Army, but was vetoed by Xun Yan.
The risk of kidnapping people in the territory of the Montenegrin army is huge, and the consequences of leaking information are unimaginable.
The last time it was successful, it was because the Montenegrin army was defenseless, but the villagers of the five villages disappeared overnight, and the fool also knew that someone was digging into their corners, so he would definitely investigate the matter and take strict precautions. If you fight the Montenegrin army in a short period of time, you will capsize in the gutter if you are not careful.
The ghost and wolf disaster, the Xianbei invasion, and the people fled one after another, so that Xun Yan saw the opportunity.
The Flying Fish Collar is in Bohai County.
Bohai County borders Youzhou Yuyang County and Guangyang County, just on the edge of the disaster area, receiving victims is not illegal, and the risk is zero.
Considering that the Flying Fish Territory needed to keep a low profile as much as possible, and that the population gap in the territory was very large, Xun Yan abandoned the conventional method of recruiting refugees in the border area, and decided to let the Rock Battalion take the initiative to enter the disaster area, directly receive refugees in the disaster area and protect them from danger. The benefits of this are clear, both to avoid competition with numerous territories in the border area and to get more refugees.
Guarding the border is equivalent to waiting for the rabbit, there are too many piles in those places, and it is difficult to predict which one the rabbit hits.
Entering the disaster area to save people, the income is guaranteed, and there are basically no competitors.
There are no competitors, it's not that no one thought of the idea, but it's too risky.
When the wolf plague first broke out, there were also lords of the safe zone who sent troops into the disaster area to try to grab the first food, but they were made to die by the crazy wolves, and had to retreat in a hurry. After the news of Xianbei's invasion broke, no lord was willing to send troops into the disaster area.
At the end of the day, those territories don't have enough strength.
Xun Yan doesn't have to worry about this problem, the Zhulu Army has enough confidence.
This is the reason why Qu Chen and others appeared in the border area.
After the Flying Fish Territory became a first-class city, it was difficult for it to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the city-level territory with only the 500 Rock Battalion brought from Yizhou. In view of this, although the population of the Flying Fish Territory was not rich, Xun Yan still recruited 500 new troops and expanded the Flying Fish leadership force to 1,000 people. The first-level city has a thousand troops, which is undoubtedly very few, but Xun Yan knows that the cost of chasing the deer is very large, so he can save as much as possible. The Flying Fish Leader is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at this stage, a thousand rock battalions are enough to meet the needs.
In this operation, the Flying Fish Leader dispatched 600 soldiers, accounting for 60% of the total strength of the special territory.
The troops moved quickly along the Qing River.
The Qinghe River is the boundary river between Yuyang County and Bohai County, and the downstream directly flows into the Bohai Sea and reaches the Moon Bay of Feiyuling; The upstream is connected to the ditch and the Quanzhou canal, and can also lead to the water of the Lu River or the Lu River in the north-central part of Yuyang County. The Zhulu Army chose to enter Yuyang County instead of Guangyang County, because Yuyang County had a dense river network and was convenient for waterway connection.
The ferry arrived.
This is a wild ferry, the location is relatively remote, there are only two ferries. It took the troops half a day to successfully cross the Qinghe River and enter the boundary of Youzhou.
Fifty Panshi soldiers were left on the south bank of the Qing River.
Their task was to establish a contact point on the south bank of the Thanh River in safety.
A little later, the fishing boats departing from Moon Bay will go up the river along the estuary of the Qinghe River to deliver various supplies to the contact point, and stay at the contact point to standby. The refugees brought back from the disaster area will be sent to the pick-up point first, and after the troops have rested, they will receive food and armor supplies from the pick-up point and re-enter the disaster area, while the fishing boats will carry the refugees back to the special territory.
Before the operation began, Xun Yan made a comprehensive plan.
The rest depends on how many refugees the army can bring out in the disaster area.
After crossing the river, the Rock Battalion entered a state of imminent battle.
Piaoyu-eup is in the southernmost part of Yuyang, but wolves are infested in all counties in the disaster area, and the land is not safe. No one knows when they will encounter wolves, and where it seems to be peaceful, there may be wolves in the shadows, and if you take it lightly, you are likely to pay the price of blood.
The deer army marched fast.
Qu Chen planned to search the disaster area during the day and retreat to the contact point on the south bank of the Qing River before dark, so that the troops could rest well and recharge their energy on the safe south bank, without having to watch out for being attacked by wolves at night. As a result, the troops could only move during the day, the search time was short, and the operation had to be accelerated.
After advancing less than five miles, the deer army encountered wolves.
More than 100 wild wolves roam in the mountains, and the scale of this wolf pack is not large by the usual standards of the wolf pack in the disaster area. The number of wolves is far lower than the number of the deer chasing army, and the deer chasing army is fully armed and murderous, and you can tell that it is not easy to provoke at a glance, but these beasts must be used to it, or it is rare to encounter so many prey in the wild, and they followed the troops for several hundred meters, and finally they couldn't hold back and launched an attack.
They clearly grossly underestimated the strength of the Deer Chaser.
The Zhulu army dispatched only one hundred-man team, led by Wang Ji.
The battle ended quickly.
The wolves left behind dozens of corpses of their companions, scattered with their tails between their legs, whining and wailing in the distance. Only two soldiers of the Zhulu Army were slightly injured due to panic, and they simply settled the battle neatly.
Victory in the first battle.
After fighting with the wolves, they found that they were not as terrible as they imagined, and the soldiers' confidence was greatly increased.
Moving on, I didn't encounter a pack of wolves again.
Suddenly, the front slowed down.
Discover the system village!
This is a small village, equivalent to the scale of a second-level village, but I can't see half of it, and after some searching, it was confirmed that the people in the village were empty, and it was already an abandoned village. It is not difficult to see many details that the village has not been abandoned for a long time, and the NPC villagers in the village should be unable to resist the attack of the wolves and have to leave this dangerous stronghold.
Village-level territory that is difficult to survive in the Wolf Plague.
They didn't linger here and continued to look for their next target.
The Zhulu army found three villages one after another, but without exception, there were no villagers in the villages. The team looked a little dull, and the severity of the wolf plague was beyond everyone's imagination, and everyone's hearts were heavy. In addition to the system village, the Deer Chasing Army also passes through a player territory, the player territory is not the target of the Deer Chaser Army, and the special territory should not be too publicized, so as to avoid dealing with the player forces as much as possible, and the troops will take a detour.
But Qu Chen soon discovered that wanting to keep a low profile was sometimes a luxury.
The wolf pack siege targets the territory, and only the territory has the food they need, and the player is not on the wolf pack's food list. The wolf plague has made the lord players anxious, but the free players in the two states have hardly been affected, everyone should do what they should do, and the leveling points are still in full swing.
Strongholds can be bypassed, and freelancers scattered across the large map can't bypass them anyway.
When almost all the territorial armies were unable to shrink down, a small army of hundreds of people boldly marched through the field, and suddenly became particularly eye-catching. It's like a light suddenly lit in a dark room, and you can't even think about it without attracting attention.
"Yo, whose soldier brother is this?"
"You're very fat!"
"Four or five hundred people were not taken away by wolves in the wild, this is not scientific!"
"What we're seeing is definitely a fake army......"
……
The deer chase the military style generally ran by.
They finally found a township-level stronghold.
The township is under siege by wolves, and the first-level township does not have a wooden fence, and the low fence is difficult to stop the wolves, perhaps because it has been patronized by wolves before, some of the broken fences have not been repaired, and the entire defense system is full of holes. A rough observation shows that the number of wild wolves besieging the township is at least 400 or more, and this multiple wolf pack launched an attack at the same time, and the defenders in the town tried their best, but there was still no way to plug all the gaps, and a small number of wild wolves burrowed into the town through the broken fence, causing the townspeople to cry and scream.
By the time the deer army arrived, the situation was already very dangerous!
"Legion Technique - Heli!"
The Legion Skill exploded in the densest area of the wolf pack, and hundreds of wild wolves were killed in an instant.
The place where the battle was fiercest suddenly fell silent, and the defenders, who had been struggling to resist the wolves a moment ago, suddenly lost their opponents and looked around blankly. The loud noise of the Legion's burst also caught the attention of the wolves, and the fact that a large number of companions had died strangely made the wolves realize what was happening. The entire battlefield came to a halt, as if the defenders and wolves had been cast a immobilization spell.
However, the duration of the "Immobilization Spell" is only a short two seconds.
The wolves began to get restless.
The death of their companions not only did not deter them, but provoked the ferocity of the wolves.
A few fierce head wolves let out a terrible howl!
The exhausted township defenders saw that the wolves had stopped their assault on the township, and they turned around and pounced on the troops outside the town. Some of the fast-reacting defenders began to react, and it was the troops outside the town who arrived in time to intervene, causing great damage to the wolves, and the angry wolves wanted to retaliate.
"Be careful!"
I don't know who is whispering.
"Be careful!"
More people came back to their senses, shouting louder and louder.
There were more and more people inside the fence, not only soldiers, but also many civilians.
The wolf plague has broken out for so long, everyone knows very well the horror of the wolf pack, and it is not easy to use the terrain to defend, but in the wild where there is no danger to defend, if you want to repel the attack of the wolf pack, the difficulty coefficient has risen by more than one notch. It is even more dangerous to be targeted by wolves that arouse their ferocity!
There are hundreds of troops outside the town, and as long as they don't mess around, they have the ability to repel the wolves.
However, in the face of hundreds of wolves with bloody mouths and sharp teeth, how many people can remain calm enough to deal with the wolves calmly? Once a flaw is revealed, it means bloodshed. The defenders and civilians in the town don't know how much the troops outside the town will pay.
To everyone's comfort, the force was calm, or at least it seemed that way.
The next situation made the soldiers and civilians in the town so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
As the wolves approached, they quickly completed the formation.
Swords, shields, spears and spears are arrayed in order, and the big shield is connected to form a shield wall in the front, and the spears and spears either stretch out from the cracks in the shield wall, or stand on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row and point obliquely into the air, and the arc defense line is quickly formed. Behind the defensive line, the "buzzing" sound from the bowstring vibration sounded, and began to shoot the wolves that were galloping wildly.
The archers had only fired three rounds, and the wolves were closing in on the line.
The wolves at the front jumped high and pounced in the air!
More than a dozen spears stabbed out violently and stabbed into the wolf's body, and the few wild wolves that struck in the air were frozen in the air, wailing and struggling. The spear was quickly retracted, and the wolf fell to the ground, and he saw that he was not alive.
More wolves pounced!
The spears and spears kept stabbing out like poisonous snakes, retracting and reaping the lives of the wolves. Occasionally, the wild wolves that escaped the spear and spear could not break through the defenses of the shield wall, and they were fortunate enough to experience how sour it was to be chopped by a knife hand. If the wolves attack as fierce as the tide, then the arc of the defense line is as tough as a reef, and the reef remains unmoved even if the waves crash on the shore.
When Yu Buzhi took the number for the rock camp, his hope for them was that he would not move like a mountain.
As a large number of wild wolves were killed and the offensive weakened, the Rock Battalion began to actively move forward the defensive line.
The ferocity of the wolves, in the face of the bloody slaughter of the Rock Battalion, has become their lifeline.
This is a one-sided slaughter!
The wolves have suffered heavy losses!
The head wolf gave a signal to retreat.
But when he bumped into Qu Chen's hand, it was not so easy to retreat.
The Rock Camp happily slaughtered the wolves, and he didn't intervene in the battle in front of him, and Qu Chen was bored for a long time. Seeing that the wolves wanted to retreat, the cooldown time of his own legion skill had passed, so he released another legion skill to send the wolves off warmly......
Of the more than 400 wild wolves, only 30 left alive, and one wolf pack was wiped out.
The defense line of the Rock Battalion was always solid, and it was not broken through by the wolves, and only a few people were slightly injured.
After witnessing the battle of this army, the soldiers and civilians in the town were speechless for a long time.
It took a while for the town to erupt in deafening cheers.
