"My lord."

Ding Yan was busy arranging for the villagers to clean up the battlefield in the village, and when he saw Lu Yao riding his horse back, he hurriedly gave a few words to the villager representatives and hurriedly greeted him.

"Gongyu, is it a rogue or a bandit?" Lu Yao turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly asked for details.

Since the destruction of the Oolong Cottage and the completion of the Liukou camp, there have been few rogues and bandits around Xanadu Village. Today's sudden attack made Lu Yao very uneasy. This means that the hidden dangers around the territory are extremely high.

"Inhuman Lord, perhaps." Ding Yan gave another answer. Although his tone was uncertain, his expression confirmed the guess.

"Players?" Lu Yao frowned slightly and groaned.

At present, Zhao Yun leads the cavalry squad to patrol every day. Powerful cavalry can extend patrols to a perimeter of a territory of fifty miles. This is already the limit. A little farther away, the more time it takes. Lacking props such as baggage, it is not a good idea to sleep in the wild at night. The night is the world of wild beasts.

No new player territory has been found within fifty miles of Xanadu Village. The limit of the mobile cavalry is only fifty miles per day. In other words, the attacking players are coming from at least fifty miles away.

"The enemy is cavalry?" Lu Yao asked again.

"No, it's just a sword soldier." Ding Yan shook his head and beckoned into the distance at the same time.

Soon two villagers approached carrying a corpse. Lu Yao looked carefully. Sure enough, it is the regular army with the highest penetration rate such as Park Daobing. He waved his hand and motioned for the villagers to carry the body away and bury it, and then turned to Ding Yan: "What do you think?" ”

"Ringworm is a small problem, so don't be afraid." Ding Yan replied proudly, and then changed his words, and said: "In the past, Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty wrote that those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away. The lord led the army on an expedition, which will definitely calm the hearts of the people. ”

Lu Yao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Ding Yan to advocate sending troops. However, if you think about it, although it is difficult to send troops on an expedition, the benefits are obvious. The most direct thing is to be able to capture a group of people. The second is special talents. The other party has developed to the stage where it can go on expeditions, which means that the territory is in good condition, and all kinds of special talents are inevitably indispensable among them. After all, not everyone bears the title of a rebel like him, and there is a shortage of talents.

Finally, the most important benefit is to eliminate a major hidden danger of the territory and improve the popularity index of the territory. Any territory that can ensure the safety of the territory has a popular sentiment index. It's about realm upgrades.

Level 3 villages are the first bottleneck in the development of the territory. At this stage, it means that the territory really has the necessary basic system for the territory. Level 3 villages can build primary markets, open business indexes, and complete the basic business system. It is also possible to build a primary medical center to improve the physical fitness of villagers and complete the basic livelihood system. In the end, Lu Yao paid more attention to the primary arrow tower, which can greatly strengthen the defense of the territory and complete the basic city defense system.

"Gongyu, can you guess where they came from?" Lu Yao thought of this and discussed it further with Ding Yan.

In the current conditions, the expedition is not an easy task. The first thing that needs to be guaranteed is the logistical baggage. Coming from the player's territory fifty miles away, only the cavalry squad has the ability to launch a surprise attack in Xanadu Village. The archers and the swordsmen were all infantry, and they walked thirty or forty miles in a day. In those days, there were no concrete roads, asphalt roads.

Secondly, there is the need for the safety of camping. Ding Yan took Liukou to rush overnight, and more than 50 people came down in one night, leaving more than 30 people. Lu Yao couldn't afford such a loss.

Third, when arriving at the opponent's village, it is difficult to attack the city. Villages capable of launching expeditions are deceiving themselves when they say that there are no city defenses. To conquer a village that is not inferior to Xanadu Village, it will take some means.

Of course, the most important thing to solve at the moment is to determine the location of the opponent's territory.

When Lu Yao and Ding Yan were discussing, Zhao Yun came back with a cavalry squad patrol. He saw the entrance of the village and the traces of the battle in the village, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and strode over.

"My lord."

"Zilong came just in time." When Lu Yao saw Zhao Yun coming back, he hurriedly and briefly told him about the enemy's attack.

"My lord, the last general will ask for battle." Zhao Yunjian raised his eyebrows, and his fighting spirit was high.

"This is natural, and if you dare to do something, you must have the consciousness to bear the consequences." Lu Yao's eyes flashed, and he immediately said the problems that needed to be solved urgently.

"In three days, the general will be able to find out where the thief is." Zhao Yun deserved to be Zhao Yun, and made a military order on the spot. All kinds of domineering side leaks.

"Okay, once the location of the other village's village is determined, we will immediately go on a crusade." Lu Yao made a decision on the spot.

"The last will be ordered." Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and immediately surrendered his hand.

In the next few days, Xanadu Village entered into intense preparations. Ding Yan gave full play to the characteristics of being proficient in internal affairs, and mobilized various resources while not affecting the development of the territory. Lu Yao, the shopkeeper who shook his hand, saw it in his eyes, but he was still not satisfied.

"There are still all kinds of talismans." Lu Yao sighed in his heart.

He must go on this expedition. Zhao Yun is even more indispensable. And Xanadu Village also needs to be garrisoned by the army, so as not to go on an expedition with the front foot and be copied by someone on the back foot. The appearance of this enemy made him realize the size of the world. In addition to themselves, other players can also develop their territory properly.

Two squads of cavalry and archers set out to attack, properly attacking the strong and defending the weak. The troop allocation is very unreasonable, and there are huge hidden dangers. If you can have a Pak Dao Soldier and go out with ten Pak Dao Soldiers, then the loss will be minimized. The infantry held out, the archers shot at a distance, and the cavalry charged through the battlefield, which in itself was a routine of ancient warfare.

Three days later, Zhao Yun really lived up to expectations and discovered the player's territory. Lu Yao learned that this territory was actually ninety miles northeast of Xanadu Village, and he was silent for a long time. He had to admire the strength of this player, who could already lead the Pu Dao soldiers on an expedition of ninety miles away.

"My lord." Zhao Yun stood on the side of the white horse in high spirits, looking impatient.

"Let's go." Lu Yao's gaze swept over the ten carts prepared by Ding Yan, turned over on the horse, and waved the horsewhip.

At the sound of an order, twenty cavalrymen were divided into two teams. Ten horsemen acted as escorts, and the other ten horses quickly tied up to the cart. The other twenty archers worked in pairs to propel the cart slowly.

Sad.

Lu Yao was in a very bad mood. The mounts of the cavalry were all war horses. Each one is very valuable, but now it is used to pull the cart, which hurts the horses too much and affects the service life of the horses. And archers, although they are infantry, are also regular soldiers, and now they are used to push carts.

Although he felt sad for his expeditionary force, Lu Yao also knew that this was already the limit of his territory. To be able to organize such a simple expeditionary force, Ding Yan is quite capable, and it is only by buckling the rope that he can squeeze out such a little resource.

"I still need to work hard." Lu Yao retracted his gaze and sighed lightly. Gently place your right hand on your left shoulder and press it.
