Chapter 69: The city is established, the wheel of fortune!
More than three months have passed since the five northern fortresses were seized at the end of last year. According to the previous arrangements of the system, the five northern fortresses have now completely become Zhou Yunfei's territory.
Once the five northern fortresses are established as Dragon City affiliated city fortresses, Dragon City's actual control area will suddenly occupy more than one-third of the area north of the Hengduan River.
Its territory is close to that of several established big families. Counting the rise of Dragon City, it only took less than two years. This speed is really surprising, even amazing.
Now many people are secretly regretting, or regretting not being able to catch the express train like Dragon City earlier, and some regret not being able to kill Dragon City in its infancy before it developed.
I vaguely feel that another Holy Family is about to appear again.
Although it is impossible to obtain the title of Saint, discerning people have now discovered that Dragon City is actually the main decision-maker in the Holy Dragon Alliance. If someone had said this before, others would definitely think that he was dreaming, but now he has to
Think about the truth behind this.
Thinking about it, Dragon City's strength on the surface is far less than the power hidden behind it. Thinking of this, many people are secretly frightened. Oh my god, how strong are they? What is their final goal?
I broke into a cold sweat and threw this rebellious thought out of my mind, but I planted a seed, just waiting to take root and sprout in the future!
The expeditionary force's lone force went deep into the city. Although it captured Eden City without a single blow, it then made an astonishing large-scale move and plunged into the Harvest Plain. In just a few days, it defeated Lis City, and finally quickly defeated the only nearby city.
The Giulio branch of the mobile unit subsequently disappeared.
A series of dazzling strategic trends have attracted everyone's attention. The amazing strategies and the enviable and powerful combat power have allowed the expeditionary force to truly enter the ranks of the top legions in the mainland. Everyone is paying attention.
The next battle may be the most crucial battle in the entire war.
How to get rid of the 15,000 cavalry troops composed of the Central Army and the Knights, how to break through the heavily guarded encirclement, and how to deal with the encirclement and suppression of 150,000 elite troops, these are all the problems that the expeditionary force has to face.
Looking back at the Alton Empire, one thing they have to do is how to capture the expeditionary force!
The two sides took up positions, and many people were secretly preparing for a battle to capture and break through. Especially within the Byvost Empire, many people would decide the future direction of the family at the moment the outcome of the battle emerged!
Among the five northern fortresses, due to the departure of the Second Army, there was a shortage of troops for a period of time. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang then transferred 5,000 infantry from the First Army stationed in Sais City to the fortress temporarily.
Although Longcheng had just replenished its troops and the number of troops reached 200,000, as the territory expanded exponentially, the troops were dispersed and became stretched again. In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only ask Zhou Yunfei for instructions.
Form new system soldiers among citizens.
Zhuge Liang had no way to recruit system soldiers, so he had previously formed a local army from civilians and did not have a system army. Now that Zhou Yunfei woke up, he would naturally form a system army by himself.
After receiving Zhuge Liang's letter, Zhou Yunfei, who was lying in bed, tried to call the system.
"Ding! Players, what are your requirements?" The system's voice seemed to be more humane this time.
Zhou Yunfei hurriedly called up the city list in the system.
The cities under his control now include a giant city, Dragon City. There is a subordinate city, Seth City, which was upgraded to a medium-sized town. There is also a small town, Acropolis.
What remains is a giant seaport, Longgang, and five fortresses that have just become tributary cities, the five northern fortresses.
The total population of the territory is currently estimated by the system to be more than 1.4 million. Among them, the number of citizens is 270,000, the number of civilians is 1.11 million, and the rest is the number of slaves. Due to Longcheng’s slave policy,
As long as you are not a heinous person and you are willing to work hard, you can become a commoner! Therefore, the number of slaves has never been very large.
As Dragon City's territory expands, more and more people from the empire begin to pour into it, looking for the hope of a better life. Because of Dragon City's developed transportation and commerce, the quality of life of the people in the territory is significantly higher than that of other parts of Bywest.
This is also due to the Byvost Empire's perennial wars, and the empire's economy has been dragged down by huge military expenditures. Compared with the neighboring Alton Empire, the lives of the people are several grades worse.
But with the rise of Dragon City, people seem to have seen the life of the wealthy Alton people. So many of them, with hope, dragged their families across the Hengduan River and entered the territory of Dragon City.
The rapid increase in population has also brought opportunities and dangers to Dragon City. However, under the full planning of Zhuge Liang and others, the crisis caused by this increase in population has been resolved, adding an additional dimension to Dragon City's high-speed development momentum.
Help!
Today, Zhou Yunfei has an army of 200,000, of which the number of citizens is a little over 50,000. The First Army accounts for 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 are all from the Second Army far away in Alton.
Therefore, now he can freely form a new citizen system army. This army will be a strategic mobile force like the Second Army. According to Pang Tong's plan, the defense of the First Army in Sais City will also be newly formed.
The three civilians and ten thousand soldiers took over and were vacated as strategic troops.
The 53rd to 56th armies will take over from the first army to garrison Seth City after completing a three-month training.
"Should we form a mobile army like the Second Army? Or should we form a large army like the First Army?" Zhou Yunfei hesitated between the two choices.
If the same all-cavalry force as the Second Army is formed, then after the Second Army returns in the future, the two armies can be merged to form a super army of 50,000 people, all of which are composed of cavalry. Just think about it.
It makes people drool! However, the huge logistic and military pressure that will follow will also drag down Dragon City.
Forming an army like the First Army is the safest way at present. Unlike cavalry, strategies and tactics must be decisive and bold. Sometimes it can even be called a gambling operation. An army composed of multiple arms.
Arranging the battle is nothing less than being much more stable.
So in the end, Zhou Yunfei chose to form an army with all kinds of arms, consisting of 40,000 citizens. After the formation is completed, more than 10,000 civilians will be added as supplements, which is the same as the First Army.
The selection of army commanders is a bit troublesome. Among Zhou Yunfei's generals, there are only a few who can serve as army commanders, and most of them have already taken office. The remaining few people also have their own tasks, which gives Zhou Yunfei a bit of a headache.
"Beauty, is there any good way to solve it?" Zhou Yunfei couldn't think of it, so he mentioned this to the system.
"Ding! The player's distress has been detected. The system will open the summoning general system. Please check the specific method by yourself!"
Zhou Yunfei was stunned, "Holy crap! There really is a way! Beauty! I love you to death!" Zhou Yunfei, who was overly excited, obviously forgot about the consequences of teasing the system.
But the strange thing is that this time there is no punishment from the system, not even a warning. Our Zhou Yunfei did not notice this situation. He is now so happy that he is summoned and shocked by this system.
Summoning generals function, this summoning function can be carried out once every six months! Seeing this, Zhou Yunfei grinned, "I guess, once every six months! Forget it, it's not very long, let's just do it!" He continued to read.
This function uses the Wheel of Fortune method to summon military commanders. Players can only filter the characteristics of the military commanders, and the final candidate is randomly selected by the Wheel of Fortune.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You are just kidding me!" Zhou Yunfei cursed directly. He wouldn't do anything so torturous! He even randomly selected him. If he got General Pan Feng, he would
Who to cry to?
When you see the options in the function, there are only a few major categories to choose from.
The two broad categories are generals and counselors.
Military generals are subdivided into several subcategories, including force value, leadership value, battle value, and training value.
Counselors are also divided into several subcategories, including internal affairs value, leadership value, diplomatic value, and mystery value.
When Zhou Yunfei saw these classifications, he frowned and started thinking. Since there was no detailed introduction, he could only guess based on the meaning above.
The terms force and training among military generals are relatively easy to understand, so does leading an army and facing a battle mean the conditions for being a commander? Leading an army, as the name suggests, means leading an army. A person who can lead an army is at least a general. As for whether he is a handsome man or not, it remains to be analyzed. Before a battle.
Undoubtedly, it is half a foot into Shuaicai. These two points are easier to accept.
So it’s hard to accept the mysterious value in Counselor. Is this mysterious thing something magical? Could it be said?
"You won't get me a guy who pretends to be a ghost, right?" Zhou Yunfei suddenly thought of the character Zuo Ci. It is said that he is an immortal, but no one knows the real situation. He also asked Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang had never heard of this.
However, Zhuge Liang still respected immortals very much.
"Ding! Since the player uses this function for the first time, the system will compensate for the previous year's opportunity and compensate for an additional opportunity."
"What? Extra compensation? So good? Then I have two chances?" Zhou Yunfei was interrupted by the system prompts. For him who was unsure about paying attention, this extra chance was very important and he had to try first.
Let’s take a look and see what it looks like.
Zhou Yunfei took a deep breath, then selected the general category of military commanders, and then selected the subcategory of leader value. Since he could only choose one category per category, Zhou Yunfei decided to try this leader first this time.
"Ding! The wheel of fortune begins to spin, players please wait patiently."
Zhou Yunfei held his breath and watched the golden turntable in the virtual interface begin to rotate.
"Ding! A new general is born, players please confirm."
Zhou Yunfei stared at the name that appeared on the turntable, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and then he burst out laughing happily!
