The news that barbarian troops were discovered nearby made Yu Wuzhi go crazy.

Xu Shu led his troops to respond to the call from the state capital. The territory was empty of troops and almost no one was available. It was the weakest time. At this time, barbarian troops approached, which made Zhulu leader very uncomfortable.

The matter has come to this, and complaining is of no use.

Xiong Dong was originally a caravan guard. He had not been in the army for a long time and his brain was not very bright. Although he was brave, it was obviously too difficult to expect him to come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy. In desperation, Yu Buzhi had to rely on himself. At most, he had to rely on his deputy.

City Lord Yifeng came over to help with some ideas.

The barbarian troops wearing yellow scarves obviously came from southern Yizhou.

The communication in the player world is convenient, and Yu Buzhi learned the news that the defense line of the state capital was breached immediately. However, he did not expect that the barbarian rebels came so quickly. They only broke through the defense line of the state capital and entered Jiangyang County yesterday. Today, they arrived in Jiangyang County.

There are troops appearing in Bajun. Could it be that the defense lines of Bajun and Zoke County have also been broken through, and the rebels from southern Yizhou have moved northward?

If this is true, the situation in Yizhou has deteriorated so quickly that it is shocking.

For Zhulu Leader, it doesn't matter which southern county these barbarian troops come from. The top priority now is to figure out the goal of the barbarian troops. Are they passing through here to prepare to attack Bajun County, or are they looting aimlessly or randomly?

They came specifically for Zhuolu Leader, which is directly related to Zhulu Leader's response. If they are just passing through here, Zhulu Army does not need to cause trouble for themselves, but if it is the latter two situations, Zhulu Army will face a severe test.

Yu Buzhi did not think that the barbarians came specifically to lead the deer. He was more inclined to pass by or plunder at will.

The Yinan Rebellion has always been a battle between NPC forces and has not been upgraded to a camp mission. Naturally, no player forces have participated in the war. The Zhulu Army and the Yinan Rebels have never had a conflict, and naturally there is no hatred. The Zhulu Army is famous for being good at fighting and can be called

He is the leader among the lord's troops. If the Yinan rebels had some sense, they would not want to fight against such an opponent.

There are many soft persimmons, so there is no need to pick the hardest ones.

Despite this, Yu Wuzhi prepared his troops for battle.

In troubled times, it is common for rebels to plunder everywhere. Zhulu Territory is a city-level territory and has always been known for its wealth. It can easily become the target of covetation. The possibility of the rebels taking desperate risks cannot be ruled out.

Mo guards continued to return to their territory and brought back information about the barbarian rebels.

——The barbarian rebels approached Zhulu Leader from the southwest, numbering about 4,000-5,000 people.

The direction to the southwest made Yu Wuzhi's heart tremble.

The Zhulu leader was in Ba County. To the south of Ba County was Zoke County, and to the west of Zoke County was Zhuti County, the birthplace of the rebellion. The rebels appeared from the southwest rather than the south, indicating that this barbarian rebel force probably came from Zhuti County.

Zhu Ti's rebels broke through the defense line of the prefecture and entered Jiangyang County. Instead of attacking the counties in Jiangyang County or looting on the spot, they ran to Ba County and suddenly appeared near Zhulu Leader. What did they want to do?

Yi Feng obviously felt something bad, and said: "Master, why don't you notify nearby friendly territories to help guard it?"

Yu Buzhi thought for a moment and said: "The other party's intention is not clear yet. They may not be coming for us. They do not rule out the possibility of plundering everywhere. If their territory is invaded by the rebels because they help us defend the city... it would be beneficial to pursue the deer territory."

It is the only city-level territory in the state and has the strongest strength. There is no reason for some rebels to panic and look for reinforcements after fighting here. Let’s take another look.”

Yi Feng was silent, feeling a little ashamed.

Zhulu Territory is the number one city in the world. The soldiers in the territory are loyal and brave and are good at fighting. They have repelled many invading enemies. Although the territory is now empty, there are still many more troops in the territory than in the township stage. How can they easily mess up their position? Even the opponent's purpose is unknown.

Rushing to call for reinforcements without understanding clearly should not be the way to deal with the situation.

The Zhulu Army quickly began to mobilize.

There are about 1,400 Panshi Camp soldiers in the territory, who are assigned to different places.

After entering the city level, the Zhulu Army expanded its troops. After the number of troops increased, it was able to protect the entire territory, including many affiliated territories. Before that, the Panshi Battalion was stationed in each affiliated territory. Except for the Yimin settlements with White Tiger Volunteers, there were no garrison troops.

Affiliated territories, according to their importance and geographical location, are stationed with varying numbers of Panshi Camp officers. With the large-scale expansion of the territory, a large number of candidates with outstanding military strength have been given the opportunity to transfer. Every affiliated territory with garrisoned troops has been transferred.

A professional military commander leads the team.

Xu Shu took away 1,600 Panshi battalion soldiers, and the garrison troops in each subsidiary territory were reduced.

Upon learning that the barbarian rebels were coming from the southwest, Yu Buzhi quickly made targeted adjustments: deploying troops to garrison in other directions and replenishing several affiliated territories that would bear the brunt.

To the west of Zhulu Territory is Baihu Mountain, and to the west of Baihu Mountain are two auxiliary territories, Caoben Town and Nanning Town.

Nanning Town is a settlement of the Yi people, guarding the main road from the south of Baihu Mountain into the hinterland of the territory. Nanning Town is guarded by the White Tiger Yi Cong. In the past, the Niucheng Guan's direct troops returned in defeat outside Nanning Town, which can share some of the pressure on the territory. Herbs

The town was different. Most of the people in the territory were drug farmers and had no ability to protect themselves. Yu Buzhi asked Xiong Dong to lead 300 Panshi troops to guard there.

With a garrison of 300, Caoben Town is the one with the largest number of troops among the many affiliated territories of Zhulu Territory.

The Zhulu Territory has 11 annexed territories in Yizhou. In addition to the three barbarian settlements that can count on the White Tiger Yiyong, the other 8 annexed territories need to be guarded against invasion, and the main control of Zhulu City is the top priority. Now the territory has a total of

1400 Panshi Camp, it is not easy to put down 300 people in Caoban Town.

Considering that the rebels may bypass Nanshou Town and Caobao Town and enter Zhulu Territory from the north of Baihu Mountain, 300 Panshi Battalion has also been stationed in Shanbei Town.

The troops invested by Zhulu Territory in these two subsidiary territories are close to half of the territory's total troops. The troops in other subsidiary territories usually only have 50-100 people. The troops guarding the main territory are also 300 people. These 300 people also have to assume the task of reserve forces.

It is conceivable that the military strength is stretched thin.

Yu Buzhi understands that if a battle breaks out, the existing troops may not be able to guarantee victory in the territory, especially when several king-level talents are not in the territory and the army's most relied-upon legion skills cannot be used. The combat strength of the army has been significantly reduced.

Level. Although the territory's economy was in dire straits, Yu Buzhi still asked Yi Feng to prepare for wartime recruitment. At the same time, he sent people to the Qinggu Tribe and the Hongshu Tribe to inform them of the possibility of hiring Tajik warriors, so that they could prepare in advance.

The mercenaries are the best mercenaries, much better than the Baihu Cong. Although the hiring cost is the highest, Yu Buzhi has the highest favorability and respect among the mercenaries. Hiring the mercenaries can get a 30% discount.

It seems to be a good deal. If the Zhulu Army can handle it, the employment relationship will not be established, and the territory can save a lot of money.

The fish is not willing to give up any of its dependent territories.

At the township level, the army has few soldiers and few generals. Facing strong enemies, sometimes it has to make choices.

Zhululing is no longer what it used to be.

If a city-level territory cannot protect the residents of the territory, it will undoubtedly undermine people's confidence in the territory.

Zhulu Ling obtains the united-as-a-city attribute by relying on super high territory satisfaction.

Some things must be defended.

The barbarian rebels stopped outside the annexed territory.
