Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 53: Prepare for epic battles

Now Chutian is still in the shock of being upgraded from a first-level town to a second-level town, and he has a gold-level recruitment order and a drawing for the construction of the Loyalty Temple.

Chutian was all too familiar with the gold-level recruitment, and this was the first time he had seen the construction drawings of the Zhongyi Temple.

[Name]: Loyalty Temple

[Level]: Level 5 Military, Cultural Architecture

[Effect]: The morale of the troops in the towns they belong to increases, the negative impact of soldiers' death on the territory is reduced, and the town's blessing value +1.

Very simple effect, but Chutian knows how attractive the three effects of Zhongyi Temple are.

First, the morale of the troops belonging to the town increased. Morale is very important in "Lord". As long as the morale drops, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be seriously affected, and in the end, the army will be defeated or defected.

Secondly, the death of a soldier is a huge blow to the family of the soldier. If the victory or defeat is tragic, the people's hearts of the territory will be greatly reduced. With Zhongyi Temple and Li Kui, even if they suffer a defeat in the future, the people's hearts in Xia Town will not easily decline.

Third, the blessing value of a town affects the harvest, auspiciousness, and specialty products. Few buildings can increase the blessing value.

The Temple of Loyalty will definitely be built.

Especially in the next epic battle "Yellow Turban Rebellion", Chutian estimates that a large number of soldiers and even heroes will be killed. Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and other big bosses of the Yellow Turban camp. Beside Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and other yellow turban generals, there must be a group of yellow turban soldiers, yellow turbans, and even yellow turban warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.

Therefore, building the Shrine of Loyalty in advance can increase the combat effectiveness of Xia Town's army and weaken the negative effects of soldiers' deaths on Xia Town.

Chutian had to think carefully about the composition of the troops involved in the "Yellow Turban Rebellion".

The navy battalion was excluded first. The navy was better than nothing in the campaign to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The decisive battle of the Han court to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion was mainly a large-scale battle in the wild and a fortified battle in a large city.

Secondly, due to limited financial resources and war horses, it was great to have 100 first-order light cavalry in the early stage.

Then you can only expand the scale of infantry and archers.

"600 elite infantry, 300 Xuzhou archers. 200 soldiers will stay in the town, and a total of 100 cavalry, 200 archers, and 500 elite infantry can be sent to participate in the epic battle."

Chutian has only 200 professional soldiers left, and is not worried about other lords attacking Xia Town during the period, because during the epic battle, all participating lords are in the truce period by default, and other lords who did not participate in the epic battle cannot declare war on it. Leaving 200 professional soldiers just to prevent the surrounding horse thieves, bandits, and water bandits from attacking the town.

There are only a handful of lords in the entire Eastern Han region who can send an army of 800 troops. Of course, this refers to professional soldiers. If there are 800 village heroes, there will be a large group of lords who can take them out.

But no one would bring Xiang Yong to fight with the fierce Yellow Turbans. Rural bravery is the labor force of the territory. Only with labor force can output be produced. If rural bravery with little combat power is used to participate in the war, it is estimated that the military merits obtained have not been lost. After a battle, the future of a town was wiped out.

Therefore, Chu Tian would implement the policy of separation of soldiers and peasants. Professional soldiers occupy only one population and can exert a stronger combat power than Xiangyong. Even if they die in battle, the impact on the territory is not as great as that caused by the death of a large number of Xiangyong.

After sowing, some farmers' labor was released. According to the plan, Chutian dispatched labor from various villages and towns to the barracks in Xia Town or Lingyan Town for training.

All lords are in intense preparation for their first epic battle.

From September to December, the rudiments of each lord's territory gradually formed, and they also had their own vassals. Some lords even started village battles, town battles, and annexed each other to strengthen their own power.

Chutian is also expanding wildly.

He sent Hua Mulan, currently the strongest general in Xia Town, to lead the existing army to sweep the surrounding villages and bring these villages under the control of Xia Town.

Xia Zhen completely controls Lingyan Town. There are three vassal territories, so there are still three empty territories. Lingyan Town is a first-class town with three vassal villages and one vacant territory.

Chutian asked Hua Mulan to occupy a nearby third-level village, and then turned it into a vassal territory.

Because of the existence of Xia Town, Lingyan Town, and Langya City, which absorb the surrounding refugees like a whale, it is difficult for the nearby third-level villages to have enough population to be upgraded to towns.

It's not that the village chiefs of these third-level villages are incompetent, but that they are caught between Xia Town and Lingyan Town and cannot develop at all. They also don't have the same army as Xiazhen to plunder the population around.

All that awaits them is the fate of being conquered, surrendered or the village destroyed.

The territory of Xia Town-Lingyan Town of 17,000 people is definitely not something that a third-level village can compete with.

Territorial development is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. The so-called strong gets stronger and weak gets weaker. It is very difficult to defeat the strong with the weak. The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Feishui can be described as a model for the weak to win the strong, but the gap between the weak and the strong is not too obvious~IndoMTL.com~ The territory of 10,000 people and the third-level village of 1,700 people are ten times as large. strength gap.

Hua Mulan was dispatched to fight the nearby village, while Chu Tian stayed in Xia Town to attack the third-tier town, and then the world's No. 1 city.

Originally, it was not easy for Xia Town to catch up with Liaodong Town, the No. 1 town in the Eastern Han District, but after directly absorbing Xiaozhu Village, which is a first-class town, Xia Town has the possibility to catch up with Liaodong Town.

Absorbing Xiaozhu Village directly increased the population of Xia Town by 3000, a large number of economic buildings, special products, and the prosperity of the main city.

If Xiaozhu Village is not near Xia Town, then Xiaozhu Village can only become a vassal village, not part of the main city.

Now Xia Town has the capital and opportunity to pursue Liaodong Town!

Therefore, Chutian always urges the development of the main town.

Mulan conquers surrounding Tier 3 villages in order to increase the total prosperity of the territory.

At the same time, Chutian established sub-stations of post stations in the vassal villages and towns, and issued a decree to let all the vassal villages carry out construction projects.

"There is still a golden recruitment order in hand. Anyway, the possibility of recruiting historical heroes is very small with the golden recruitment order..."

Because Chutian was one of the top 100 lords in the Eastern Han District who had been upgraded to a second-level town, he received a gold-level recruitment order. Gold-level recruitment orders have a high probability of recruiting ordinary heroes, and a very small probability of recruiting historical heroes.

After having Hua Mulan and Li Kui, Chu Tian's eyes have become a little picky, so he doesn't care much about the gold-level recruitment order. What interests him more is the historical hero recruitment order.

"Ding! Consume one Gold Rank Recruitment Order, and you will gain the allegiance of Zhou Yafu, the king-level commander."

"Oh, it really is an ordinary English..." Chu Tian seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, "Zhou Yafu, who quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty!"
