Chapter 581: Prisoners

Reality is cruel, and fairness can only be relative, not absolute.

Babel is no exception. A month of safety is the last gentleness, and then you will fall into a cruel war. No matter you are a new lord or an old lord, you can attack as long as your rank is the same.

Even if your rank is different, you can still attack by force, but you have to pay a huge price and use some extremely rare items, which is not worth the loss.

Therefore, after the safety time is over, the first challenge faced by the new lord is the invasion of the old lord, especially the old lords who are at the top of the reputation rankings. They have a deep foundation and are extremely powerful. They even have second-level troops, which is a great challenge for the new lord.

But fortunately, Babel is relatively fair. The defender has a great home advantage. First of all, the defensive buildings, city walls, defense towers, and various city defense weapons of the territory, and even farmers can be used as cannon fodder.

The attacker is not good. The supplies and troops that can be carried are limited. The former is determined by logistics skills, and the latter is determined by charm and commander skills.

Needless to say, logistics is a space package. The bigger the package, the more supplies it can carry. As for charm and commander skills, they are the key to the lord's command.

Because fighting outside is different from fighting at home. When you give an order at home, the soldiers in the entire territory will obey your dispatch, but fighting outside has "command troops" restrictions. One point of charm can increase the number of command troops by five points, and one point of commander can increase ten points.

Take Xu Yang as an example. He now has 6 points of charm attributes and 1 point of commander skills. If he goes out to attack other people's territories, he can only carry 40 soldiers, and they can only be first-level soldiers. If they are second-level soldiers, the command value will increase tenfold, and he can only carry 4.

Therefore, although the accumulation of new lords is shallow, facing the attack of old lords, they are not completely at the mercy of others. As long as they operate properly, they may not be unable to persist.

Xu Yang now has 580 Yellow Turban elites, which can be transformed into Yellow Turban infantry through the Yellow Turban camp. Although they are still pitifully weak, 500 people are more than enough to resist some old lords who are not ranked very high.

But this was not necessary. Xu Yang gathered all the Yellow Turbans around the camp, and they were protected by 20 arrow towers and ready to fight. They were ready to transform into Yellow Turban infantry to resist the enemy's attack at any time.

He himself came to the only open area in the entire territory with his weapons, waiting for the enemy to arrive on the beach near the west coast.

His goal of building arrow towers was not to resist the enemy's attack, but to protect his peasants.

After all, he was a "solo" lord. This kind of lord has a major characteristic, that is, he is strong in combat but alone, and it is easy to be pinned down and then split up to steal the home, slaughter the peasants, and destroy the territory.

This is not allowed, so Xu Yang did not hesitate to put aside the construction of the "tavern" and spent a lot of money to build 20 arrow towers around the "Yellow Turban Camp" to ensure the safety of the peasants and core buildings.

In this way, 30 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

"Swish!"

A black light flashed, and then there were shadowy figures. Dozens of soldiers appeared on the beach, and among them, a general wearing black armor, riding a horse and holding a gun stood in the center of the team.

"Infantry in front, archers in the back, cavalry ready to charge!"

The general commanded very skillfully, dozens of soldiers quickly stood firm and began to search for the enemy.

As a result, a man with a gun came striding a hundred meters ahead.

"Hmm!"

"Solo lord?"

The black-armored general's eyes condensed, his face showed surprise, and then ordered the troops: "Shoot!"

At the command, more than a dozen archers in cloth clothes and holding war bows behind the infantry opened their bows and shot arrows, throwing a rain of arrows to the front.

Although the Tower of Babel and the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss are opposites, their system development is exactly the same, both are the mode of lords' conquest, so the black-armored general is very clear about the characteristics of "solo lord".

This is also the reason for his surprise. How can people not be surprised to pick up such a fat sheep?

Solo lords, it sounds good, but in reality it is synonymous with poverty and weakness. After all, a son of a rich family cannot sit in the hall, so who would be willing to take the risk of solo lords? It is because they have no choice but to take risks.

As for the combat power of solo lords, isn't it just better equipment and higher martial arts? Personally, they are outstanding, but this is a war between lords. It's okay for you to bully those brainless monsters, but you also want to be invincible in group battles. What kind of "one man can make an army" script?

Do you know what the art of command is?

The black-armored lord sneered secretly.

Although their territory has not been on the reputation rankings of first-level lords, it is also an old territory with civilized buildings. It can train the arms of the "Jurchen" civilization. Its civilization trait "cavalry archery" can greatly improve the shooting ability of cavalry, archers, and cavalry archers.

As we all know, low-level solo lords are most afraid of long-range attacks, especially long-range attacks such as arrow rain, because there is no way to dodge, and they can only rely on weapons and combat skills to resist, and often they will die after a few rounds of arrow rain.

So...

Xu Yang stood in place, facing the arrow rain thrown by more than ten "Jurchen Strong Archers (Elite)", without dodging at all, and directly turned the reed leaf spear in his hand.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The long spear rotated, and suddenly became a wild flower of stick shadows. The rain of arrows fell, and directly turned into sparks flying away, with no gaps to penetrate.

"This..."

"Arrow-cutting style?"

"How is it possible!"

The pupils of the black-armored general shrank, and then he woke up in shock and shouted angrily: "Shoot, collectively shoot!"

Hearing this order, more than a dozen Jurchen archers increased their shooting speed, and even several Jurchen cavalrymen standing on the side took out their short bows. Twenty archers shot together, forming a denser rain of arrows.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also took action and ran out directly. The reed leaf spear in his hand continued to rotate non-stop, like a "human windmill", crashing into the enemy formation.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The windmill crashed, sparks flew everywhere, and it was really impossible to pour water or insert a needle. Twenty elite archers poured hundreds of arrows, but they were all blocked by the stick shadow, and they did not cause any damage at all.

On the other hand, the opponent came with a strong wind, and the distance of 100 meters passed in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, he killed in front of the infantry formation.

"Stop him!"

The black-armored general shouted in shock and anger, and more than 20 elite "Jurchen infantry soldiers" raised their shields to form a formation, trying to resist the enemy in front.

However...

The Jurchen civilization is outstanding in cavalry and archery, but the infantry is ordinary. These elite Jurchen infantrymen are wearing leather armor and using rattan shields and wooden shields. Their ability to resist the enemy can only be described in two words.

Destroyed!

Xu Yang rushed over, the rotating stick flowers had dispersed, and one hand was freed and pulled out the ancient ingot knife from his waist.

On the ancient ingot knife, the evil spirit condensed, and with Xu Yang's hand, a knife aura was cut out, a scarlet knife aura.

Special skill - Breaking the army!

"Boom!!!"

The knife was like a half-moon, and it slashed with a bang, landing in the enemy's formation. Then, rattan shields, wooden shields, leather armors were all broken, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there was grief everywhere. More than 20 Jurchen infantrymen died in an instant, and the front line was instantly torn apart. Even several archers in the rear were killed and fell to the ground by the residual power.

Everything happened in an instant. Before the black-armored general could react, he saw his infantry line being broken by a bloody light. Then the single-brush lord flew over, swung the long spear in his hand, and rushed into the archer formation like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

There was a fierce sound, like rain hitting banana leaves. In the archer formation, Xu Yang swung his spear like a stick and swept forward. More than a dozen Jurchen archers were unable to react and were pushed away by a force, like a cloth bag falling to the ground.

In an instant, just an instant, Xu Yang broke through the two lines of defense of the infantry archers and rushed straight to the black-armored general.

The black-armored general's pupils shrank, and he woke up in shock. He had no time to turn his horse's head and flee in panic, so he could only bite the bullet and stab out the long spear in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the opponent rushed over and stabbed out with a spear. The tip of the reed leaf spear was like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, faster, stronger and more cunning.

"Puff!!!"

A muffled sound, blood splashed, and the cold light penetrated the general's chest from bottom to top. The black iron scale armor with 30 points of protection seemed nothing in front of the reed leaf spear tip. The long spear pierced through his body and came out.

"Breaking armor!"

"You killed the enemy hero-Rongquan!"

"You get 20,000 experience points and 100 reputation points!"

"You killed the enemy commander and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale!"

The battle record was refreshed again, but Xu Yang ignored it and picked up the body of the black-armored general with a spear, then turned the spear head and killed the remaining Jurchen cavalry.

However...

"The Jurchen horse archers collapsed!"

"The Jurchen horse archers request surrender!"

"The Jurchen strong archers request surrender!"

"The Jurchen infantry soldiers request surrender!"

Xu Yang turned his gun around, and before he could start killing again, the remaining Jurchen cavalry and the remaining archers and infantry knelt on the ground one after another.

"..."

Xu Yang frowned, but still stopped.

"You accepted the surrender of the enemy soldiers!"

"You completely defeated the opponent and won a brilliant victory!"

"You received a special trophy reward - the Blood-Fragging Armored Horse!"

"You received 50,000 additional experience points and 150 reputation points!"

"You received 3 war orders (normal) and 1 war order (designated)!"

"Your lord level is 1, and your character level is 10. You cannot continue to improve. Experience is automatically accumulated. Please complete the advanced task as soon as possible!"

The battle record was refreshed, but Xu Yang did not say much, and only turned his eyes to the kneeling Jurchen soldiers around him.

"Hua La!"

A flash of white light appeared, and nine Jurchen soldiers disappeared, leaving behind nine cards.

Xu Yang walked up and picked them up, and saw the attributes.
