Chapter 123: Military Food Pills
Two o'clock in the afternoon, Shanhai Town Council Hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Now let's start talking about the Battle of Zhuolu. First of all, I would like to know how many troops you have led. Ouyang Shuo said.
Everyone reported their respective titles. Mulan Yue and the Siege Lion are third-class viscounts who can bring a hundred people. The Dragon Finder is a second-class viscount who can bring two hundred people. Bai Hua has the highest title, is a first-class viscount, and can bring three hundred people. The four of them together are only seven hundred people in total, which is not as many as the soldiers led by Ouyang Shuo alone.
After counting the number of troops he led, Ouyang Shuo continued: "This battle, called the Battle of Zhuolu, should be divided into two camps, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, according to historical data. What do you think about the choice of faction? Declare in advance that I will definitely choose the Yellow Emperor's camp this time. ”
The siege lion was speechless and said, "Big brother, you have chosen a camp, and you are still asking us what to do?" ”
Ouyang Shuo was also a little embarrassed, and deliberately coughed, saying: "Ahem, the alliance does not make it mandatory for the choice of this camp, it is just a ventilation in advance, even if you choose the opposing camp, it doesn't matter." Perhaps, in the future, when the needs of the alliance members conflict, they will have to choose the opposite camp. ”
The dragon finder nodded understandingly, and said with a smile: "What Brother Wuyi said makes sense. If in any battle, you want to subdue the generals of this camp, and he wants to subdue the generals of that camp, then you have to choose the opposing camp, which is normal. And, having said that, choosing the opposite camp is not necessarily a bad thing, and you may be able to pass messages to each other at that time. "As a mission maniac, Dragon Finder's understanding of the game is obviously more thorough.
Mulan Yue was the first to express her position, and said coquettishly: "Since Brother Wuyi chooses the Yellow Emperor's camp, then I also choose the Yellow Emperor's camp." There are only 100 troops in the family, but they can count on the protection of their brother without clothes. ”
"No problem!" Ouyang Shuo still has a very good impression of Mulan Yue. Besides, Mu Guiying alone is worth hundreds of troops.
"I also choose the camp of the Yellow Emperor." Bai Hua followed suit.
"Ditto!" The siege lion said funny.
Only the dragon hunting point smiled and said: "I think the Chiyou camp is more interesting, as the defeated side in history, maybe you can dig up some hidden rewards." ”
"Okay, that's it." Ouyang Shuo said.
As a reborn, Ouyang Shuo decided to reveal some tips about the battle to several allies. Of course, in order not to arouse their suspicions, Ouyang Shuo spoke more tactfully, and said: "For this battle, I have some small conjectures, tell them, and everyone will work together as staff officers." ”
"Please!" The four of Bai Hua said in unison.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "First of all, it's about logistics and supplies. Have you ever thought that the era in which the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou lived was still in the historical period of slash-and-burn farming. The lords who participated in the battle this time, if nothing else, were only about a hundred. According to the calculation of an average lord with 200 troops, that is an army of 20,000 people. Assigned to one camp, that is, about 10,000 people. Do you think that with the conditions of the Yellow Emperor's Youxiong tribe or the Jiuli tribe of Chiyou, can they afford to bear the grain and grass of so many troops? ”
Searching for the Dragon Point shook his head and said, "Definitely not, it would be good if they could feed themselves, and there will be more food for us." What does Brother Wuyi mean, we need to bring our own grain and grass when we go on this expedition? But with so much grain and grass, transportation is a big problem. In total, the number of places for the expedition is just like this, so you can't give some to the grain transportation team. Then what kind of war is there, just fight soy sauce. ”
Bai Hua's heart moved, remembering that during the military parade in the morning, Shanhai Town had prepared a regular army of a thousand people, and there was no logistics force. She knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Presumably Wuyi already has a solution?" ”
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Bai Hua appreciatively and said, "Not bad." When I was visiting the market before, I saw a special item called military ration pills. Curious, I bought one, and it turned out to be a wax pill-shaped food. A small pill of military ration can replenish the energy needed by a soldier for a day. ”
"How much does it cost?" The dragon point asked eagerly.
"Such a miraculous military food pill is naturally not cheap. One military ration pill costs 1 silver coin. Normal soldiers consume 2 units of grain and grass per day, which is 20 copper coins. The cost of military ration pills is five times that of the latter. ”
"That's a good deal, it's better than having a big logistics force behind you. Hehe, but you are miserable without a brother, such a large number of people need a lot of military food pills. The dragon point said gloatingly.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said nothing, where did he know that with the financial resources of Shanhai Town, the small military food pills were a burden.
A thousand-strong army, plus war horses, is only about 15 gold coins. Even if the battle lasted for a month, it would only be four or five hundred gold coins. Compared to the gains in the battle, this investment is nothing.
"In addition to the military ration pills, there is also a kind of marching tent. This kind of marching tent is detachable and foldable. A marching tent can accommodate five soldiers. Of course, good goods don't come cheap. One such marching tent costs 1 gold coin. Ouyang Shuo continued.
"Okay, with these two artifacts, logistics are worry-free." The siege lion said excitedly.
Bai Hua was also happy, with a pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Ouyang Shuo, wanting to see through the man in front of him. She really couldn't understand, how could Wuyi know so much about the game, was it just because she was careful? Or is he really so talented at the game that he can discover things that others can't. In the case of military ration pills and marching tents, the system is blatantly marketed and no one is looking for their value.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and then said: "Actually, there are a lot of magical items in the market, when you are usually fine, you can go shopping more, maybe there will be some surprises waiting for you." Gadgets like flares, you don't need me to remind everyone, right? ”
"That's all I can think of. As for the specific tactical arrangement, I would like to hear the opinions of Mr. Gonghe. Ouyang Shuo looked at the frustration behind the siege lion and said with a smile.
If you want to talk about strategy, you should naturally be the first to be frustrated.
Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo also wanted to let Ge Hongliang take charge of this tactical arrangement. After seeing that the siege lion brought it turned out to be the famous strategist of the Three Kingdoms, he immediately canceled this arrangement, he didn't want Ge Hongliang to get an axe in front of Fu Zhu.
Bai Hua, Dragon Finder and Mulan Yue were not stupid people, they all recognized Ouyang Shuo's choice and looked at Fu Zhu together.
Being watched by so many people, Fu Yu didn't panic at all, got up calmly, saluted everyone, and said, "Thanks to the lord of Shanhai Town, then Fu Mou will be ugly." ”
"Sir, please speak!" Ouyang Shuo said sincerely.
"According to historical records, the battle of Zhuolu should be a protracted battle, and there is a saying that there are nine battles in three years. In a protracted standoff, tentative skirmishes can occur at any time. Therefore, in order to make a difference in this battle, in addition to the final Armageddon, a skirmish-scale confrontation cannot be ruled out. Therefore, I suggest that when selecting troops to participate in the battle, you should try to choose units with strong mobility and strong individual combat ability. Coupled with the two sharp weapons of the military food pills and the marching tent mentioned by the lord of Shanhai Town, then this battle can take the lead. Frustrated said.
Papapa, Ouyang Shuo took the lead in applauding, and said with a smile: "Mr. is really extraordinary!" ”
After discussing the matter of the battle, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this point, the first gathering of the Shanhai Alliance officially came to an end.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo prepared a small gift for everyone. What was given to Qin Qiong was a jar of three-flower wine. What was given to Fu Zhu was a top-grade Baihao tea for the Lord's Mansion. What was given to the siege lion and the dragon hunting point was a good Tang knife for each person.
As for the three Bai Hua sisters and Mulan Yue, the gifts are all high-quality colored silk, which is very suitable for the daughter's family to sew clothes. In the end, it was Mu Guiying, Ouyang Shuo thought about it again and again, and decided to give her a dark gold-level horn bow, which was also made by the crossbow division with great difficulty, and this was the only one.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo did this is mainly because Mulan Town and Shanhai Town both belong to the Lianzhou Basin, and there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future. It is still very necessary to envelop the core figures of Mulan Town in advance. Maybe when, Mulan Town and Shanhai Town will become a family, and they won't suffer.
After sending off his allies, Ouyang Shuo began to prepare for this campaign.
The gold of the first half of May has been delivered ahead of schedule, with a total of 4,000 gold coins. Among them, the formation of a second battalion of sailors by the North Sea Fleet required the payment of 500 gold coins.
Walking into the high-end market, Ouyang Shuo began to purchase. His current storage bag has been expanded twice, with a space capacity of 100 cubic meters. If he only used it alone, it would be completely sufficient. But considering that this time we have to carry a lot of military supplies, 100 cubic meters is a bit insufficient.
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and directly spent 1,000 gold coins to buy a large space stone to expand the storage bag to 1,000 cubic meters, which was equivalent to a cube with a side length of 10 meters, which was already large enough. As for the highest-grade giant space stone, there is no way to sell it in the market. Even if there is, with Ouyang Shuo's current financial resources, he can't afford it, and it will definitely not be less than 50,000 gold coins.
Space equipment, which itself is a challenge to the ancient order, is a BUG-level item, which is comparable to an artifact. If you want to increase its space capacity, of course, it is not so easy.
