Gongsun Zan is the strongest warlord in Youzhou. Even though as a state pastor, Liu Yu still has to pay a heavy price if he wants to defeat him.
"Hahaha, it's a war! Hurry up!"
But for players, nothing is more exciting than large-scale war missions.
...Although it is currently only in the preparatory stage.
I would like to especially thank Gongsun Zan here - it was precisely because he forced away his brother Ma Zaiyun that a large number of Yun fans, as well as the licking dogs of Yun fans, poured into the original 18th-tier camp of Youzhou Liu Yu.
This makes this battle that should have no suspense become confusing.
...Ahem, in fact, they were happy too early.
【War preparations】
Mission type: Limited time plot
The prefect Liu Yu plans to launch a big operation, but his soldiers have neglected training. He asks all the knights to help him improve his combat capabilities.
Mission requirement 1: Training soldiers (0/N)
Task requirement 2: Contribute the array diagram (0/N)
Task requirement 3: Raise food and grass (0/N)
Note: This task must be carried out as much as possible without attracting the attention of other forces. Please try not to conflict with other camps during the task, otherwise it may lead to irreversible negative results.
This is a mission aimed at everyone in the Liu Yu camp in Youzhou and the Han Empire camp that Wang Yiyuan quietly developed.
The mission requirement is very simple - enter the village quietly, and don't let anyone shoot you.
For players, this is a lengthy progress bar. Every time a task that meets the requirements of [War Preparation] is completed, the progress bar will move forward a small step - of course, it may also go backwards.
As a veteran nobleman who has been entrenched in Youzhou for many years, the Gongsun family is also a typical local snake in Youzhou. Gongsun's eyes and ears are everywhere. If Liu Yu wants to attack Gongsun Zan, he must complete his attack with one blow.
Covert operations probably include not actively provoking the troops of other princes, and even keeping a low profile in the city, so as not to let the Gongsun scouts lurking in the city receive any clues.
As for the effect...ahem.
The players are not stupid - in this land of Youzhou, Liu Yu has very limited targets to attack. Although it was not clearly stated in the mission, everyone almost guessed at a glance that this time the target is Gongsun Zan.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
"Kill the duck!"
"Have Gongsun Zan killed! Help Brother Yun take revenge!"
Players have already been gearing up. As Yun fans, they are happy to avenge Zhao Zilong, who has now become a wandering general.
In short, the entire Youzhou was like a clockwork machine that suddenly began to run at high speed.
——————
This is a big day for the [Guardians of Brother Yun] headed by Guo Moutu, as well as the lickers of these crazy female fans.
We have said before that unless a special plot or fighting general is triggered, or the NPC should have died in the plot, these historical NPC figures will only "exit seriously injured" and will not really die.
In the plot where Liu Yu finally falls out with Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu would have died in this battle - but if the players can reverse this result, then it is also possible to deduce the ending of Gongsun Zan's defeat and sudden death.
The revenge plan is finally on the agenda.
However, wanting revenge is not that simple - the whole preparation process is more boring or difficult than imagined.
Although before participating in this mission, everyone already knew that Liu Yu was good at governing the people, but not good at governing the army.
But the situation is a hundred times worse than imagined.
"Damn it, Liu Yu didn't lose unjustly."
Generally speaking, a qualified soldier with complete weapons has a strength attribute of 40 points. Even for peasant uprising troops without professional training such as the Yellow Turban Thieves, the general strength is at least around 35 points, and the strength of the soldiers is at least 35 points.
By cooperating with each other through drills, battle formations can also be formed, and individual combat effectiveness can be enhanced through the superposition of numbers.
The soldiers under Liu Yu's command had acceptable strength attributes and equipment, but they lacked the key attribute of "forming a battle formation".
To put it simply, they will only fight on their own.
Battle formation is the only way for ordinary soldiers with weak attributes to fight against unparalleled warriors. The reason why Wang Yiyuan's [Break Formation] skill is overbearing is that it can ignore the effect of this battle formation.
This is also the core reason why Liu Yu's army of 100,000 was defeated by Gongsun Zan's hundreds of men - in fact, without the bonus of the battle formation, most of the players present could kill all the way through Liu Yu's seemingly dense military formation.
There is no shortcut to learning battle formations, it can only rely on practice.
Moreover, the players must take the lead, and after completing the designated drill actions as required, guide the NPC soldiers to complete the standard actions and correct their mistakes - equivalent to an enhanced version of everyone looking for trouble.
"This...is a rip-off."
——————
At this time, Wang Yiyuan and Xu Shu stood at the top of the city, looking far into the distance.
In the distance is the martial arts field, where a player is leading the soldiers in a drill, and the content of the action is the legendary secret skill not taught to middle school students in my country - the eighth set of radio gymnastics [The Times is Calling].
...The dog planned this damn evil.
"Yuanzhi, what are our chances of winning this battle?"
Xu Shu didn't answer, just made the sign of three.
"Only 30%?"
Xu Shu sighed quietly.
30%, this is still an optimistic estimate.
The difference in combat effectiveness is really huge - on one side are a bunch of weaklings and motley crews who can't even guarantee daily training, on the other side are elite border guards who have been fighting foreigners for years. The 30% is based on the premise that one's own side has no intention of calculation.
Down.
"I don't know how useful it is to sharpen a gun in battle... Now this group of rabble is trying to fight the white horse Yi Cong, which is like hitting a stone with an egg. It's a pity that the common people are not good at the art of military formation..."
Wait, you Xu Shu are not good at military formations?
I, Cao Ren, have a saying that I must throw it in your face.
Speaking of Cao Ren...wait!
Wang Yiyuan suddenly remembered something. He groped frantically in his package for a while, but he pulled out a scroll as if offering a treasure.
"Yuan Zhi... do you think this is useful?"
"This is the formation diagram of the [Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation]?"
Speaking of which, this was a legacy left to Wang Yiyuan by a certain classmate Xiao Ni who was criticized by book friends for being a novice and was offline before he quit traveling. However, since Wang Yiyuan has always been alone, he kept it at the bottom of the box and forgot about it for a long time.
.
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Ren relied on this formation to stop Liu Bei's army - and then was defeated by Xu Yuanzhi in front of him.
Xu Shu looked at the formation diagram carefully, his eyes sparkling with light.
"Wonderful! This formation coincides with the Eight Trigrams of Qimen. If the method of war formation can be introduced...Shouyi, can you lend me this picture to study it carefully?"
"...Uh, I gave it to you."
As he spoke, the lengthy battle formation preparation progress bar suddenly advanced by nearly one-tenth.
The system prompts: "Our general Xu Shu has obtained the [Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation Diagram], and our preparation progress has been greatly improved."
