327 Shandan Army Horse Farm
August is a busy month for the Little White Alliance. It takes Zhangye County as a whole, readjusted its economy and military structure layout, and consumes a lot of player human resources. Fortunately, there are no hidden dangers around Zhangye County and Wuwei County, and the Little White Alliance can calm down to solve this problem.
NPC general Jiang Xulai asked about the rebuilding of the Shandan Royal Military Horse Farm.
This Shandan Royal Army Horse Farm is famous, 120 miles away from Shandan Town, and is located in the Damaying Grassland in Qilian Mountains on the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, with a total area of more than 2,000 square kilometers. The entire grassland is flat and has lush water and grass. It is a "fertile"-level grassland, which is very suitable for horse raising.
Unfortunately, due to the turmoil in the northwest and the destruction of the Xiongnu, Qiang Di and others, the Shandan Army Horse Farm has been abandoned for many years. There are no high-quality horses inside, only a small number of wild horses.
Jiang Xu had been "eying" the Royal Military Horse Farm for a long time, and had arranged the military defense of the Zhangye City NPC army, so he hurriedly asked Zhan Xiaobai to discuss whether the Shandan Army Farm could be rebuilt.
Zhan Xiaobai naturally knew the value of a top military horse farm, which could save a lot of daily forage for war horses, save the cost of purchasing forage, and train a large number of high-quality war horses. High-quality war horses are equal to military strength and money.
So he became interested in this matter and arranged some intelligence personnel under Tianbao to investigate the current situation of the Shandan Army Horse Farm.
Of course, although with the plan to rebuild, Zhan Xiaobai is not very optimistic about rebuilding the Shandan Military Horse Farm. After all, the abandoned Shandan Military Horse Farm has existed for a long time and everyone can see it. If the player alliance in Zhangye County can use them, it is probably already developed and utilized, and there is no need to wait for him to come to develop it. There must be some things in it that he is not clear about.
Two days later, the intelligence personnel sent back a large amount of information about the situation.
In the entire vast Damaying grassland area of 2,000 square kilometers, there are only seven large players villages built in total. Although there are few, these seven large villages belong to the seven strong alliances of Zhangye County.
In addition, there are ten "aborted military horse farms" on the grassland, all of which belong to the NPC bandit camp. To put it bluntly, they are just military swiping points, constantly browsing NPC horse bandit cavalry, NPC Han rebel cavalry, NPC Qiang cavalry, NPC Xiongnu cavalry, NPC Yuezhi cavalry, NPC Wusun cavalry... The "aborted military horse farm" belongs to which camp, and the cavalry of which camp they are. They are almost hostile to players.
These "absent horse farms" are at levels lv3~lv4 respectively. There are NPC generals as leaders, with the minimum force of their subordinates being 1,000 cavalry and the maximum force of their troops is 5,000 cavalry. Most of them appear in groups, with 50~100 cavalry as a squadron, and sometimes even coming out in full swing. If the cavalry dies, they will automatically refresh the squadron at a certain rate.
According to the information collected by intelligence personnel, these player alliances that build villages on the grassland use the military power of the entire alliance to maintain a large village to survive in the grassland, and there is no unnecessary force to ensure the establishment of more villages.
These alliances set up a large village on the grassland, and their main function is to level up for players in the alliance, rather than wanting to raise horses here. This is one of the few advanced leveling grounds in Zhangye County, with a large number of NPC squads and cavalrymen appearing everywhere. Killing a 50-cavalry cavalry team is quite rich in experience.
The strength of the various alliances in Zhangye County is actually not strong. A single alliance can gather at most 30,000 warrior players. It is too far from the Xiaobai Alliance. Even the weakest "absorbed horse farm" at level 1V3 is not something they can attack. If you want to stay in the grassland, you must maintain the strength of more than 5,000 warrior players for a long time to guard the village leveling points on the grassland.
Ordinary player villages in Zhangye County cannot survive on this grassland at all. Once built, they will be captured by the NPC army entrenched in the nearby "absolute military horse farm" and become an abandoned village, a place where NPC hooligans and evil men appear.
Zhan Xiaobai understood, so that's it!
The entire Damaying grassland is not so much a horse farm as a military farm. Want to raise horses in this place where horse bandits, bandits, rebels, and Yi tribes are everywhere? Then you have to be careful of the NPC chaos cavalry that are everywhere in the grassland. If you don’t wipe out all the ten “absent military horse farms” in the entire grassland at the same time, it will be endless and may be attacked at any time.
The most important thing is that there are several villages in other alliances here, all of which have a large number of players' forces. They are also potential enemies to attack you. Therefore, there is no alliance in Zhangye County who dares to raise horses in the grassland of Damaying.
Because of the lack of strength, the village alliance in Zhangye County cannot solve the riots occupied by ten "absent horse farms". However, this does not mean that the novice Bai Alliance does not have this strength. With the current military strength of the novice Bai Alliance, it is confident that the riots of the 10 military horse farms can be wiped out one by one, and the seven Zhangye County players alliance villages were also "kicked" out of the Damaying grassland to avoid them from getting in the way.
After Zhan Xiaobai understood the information clearly, he told Jiang Xu about it and asked him how to rebuild the Shandan Army Horse Farm.
Jiang Xu was very surprised after hearing this and said, "Sir, as far as I know, the imperial court built a total of ten royal horse farms in the Damaying grassland. Could it be that after these military horse farms were abandoned, they were occupied by horse thieves, rebels, and Yi tribes? In this way, I am afraid that the adults must first regain the "absent military horse farms" entrenched by the chaos army. Then the adults select a group of high-quality horse breeds, and the senior horse trainers are stationed in the military horse farm, so the military horse farm can be rebuilt. Please allow your subordinates to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress the traitors and chaos army in the Damaying grassland!"
Zhan Xiaobai nodded.
When Jiang Xu talked about horse breeding and horse trainer, he reminded him of the old npc hunter Lu Shan. The old hunter Lu Shan was a master of horse training. He built a small Yellow Turban village in Chiling, Xihai, on the Xiqiang grassland, and recruited nearly a hundred Npc Qiang nomads to tame war horses for Xiaobai Town.
However, later, the Qiang rebellion broke out in the great chief Beigong Boyu, and the entire Xiqiang grassland became the base camp of the rebels, confronting the imperial camp, completely blocking the Xiqiang grassland. Xiaobai Town then lost contact with the Lu family village. Except for the first batch of more than 20 war horses, the Lu family village later never transported the war horses back to Xiaobai Town. The players sent by Xiaobai Town were unable to enter the Xiqiang grassland, and were driven back by the NPC Qiang army.
However, the Lüshi Village is still on the list of subordinates in Xiaobai Town. I think the village of Lushi Village should not have been destroyed by the Qiang people, otherwise it would disappear directly from the list of subordinates. I just don’t know what the situation of the old hunter is now, so it’s best if nothing unexpected happens.
Although it is just an NPC, Zhan Xiaobai still sighs a little.
He didn't think too much and asked, "How many troops do you use to wipe out the riots entrenched in the ten abandoned Royal Army horse farms?"
Jiang Xu immediately said: "Only three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry is enough!"
Zhan Xiaobai opened his mouth and was speechless. In the ten abandoned military horse farms, the total strength of the NPC chaos army can be at least 20,000 to 40,000, and it is enough to bring only 3,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress it? However, considering that Jiang Xu is also considered a historically-level NPC general, it is reasonable to say that the big name is.
"There is a little less than 3,000 cavalry, so it's still 6,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In addition, I will also follow the troops to the grassland to check out. There are seven big villages on the grassland, involving seven alliances, and you may not be able to deal with this aspect."
"Yes! I'll go and go to the battle." Jiang Xu's emotions did not fluctuate, so he directly dispatched his troops.
Zhan Xiaobai handed over everything at hand to Qiushui, Jianba, Tianbao and others to deal with. Then he and Jiang Xu led 6,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry stationed in Zhangye City to Shandan Town a hundred miles away.
One night in Shandan Town.
Ah Fei had just become the mayor of Shandan Town. When he heard Zhan Xiaobai say that he would go to the grassland of Damaying to wipe out the NPC riots entrenched there, he was overjoyed and shouted that he would go. Zhan Xiaobai had no choice but to take him with him and brought the three thousand Little White Alliance player cavalry stationed in Shandan Town, as well as several Zhangye County player guides to assist in the battle.
The next day, eight thousand cavalrymen advanced rapidly from Shandan Town towards the Qilian Mountains a hundred miles away on the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain.
In the afternoon of the same day, the army arrived at the edge of the Damaying grassland.
The grassland is extremely vast, with endless fertile grass swaying in the wind. You can hardly see any players. From time to time, you can see some NPC beasts appearing among the grass.
These Zhangye County player guides admire Zhan Xiaobai and Xiaobai Alliance very much, and they almost know everything and say everything. They repeatedly warned not to enter the grassland in the evening, so as not to lose their direction and accidentally break into the territory of the chaos army, and be attacked by some strange NPC cavalry - the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Wusun NPC cavalry, all with strange appearances.
Before we figured out the situation, Zhan Xiaobai naturally would not enter the grassland rashly.
Zhan Xiaobai ordered the NPC army to camp on the edge of the grassland and build a camp with simple fortifications. The two thousand player cavalry were divided into four hundred cavalry teams and scattered in all directions to inquire about the surrounding geography and see if there were any enemy troops.
More than fifty minutes later, several teams of cavalry rushed back to bring back an important military situation: about fifteen miles south, there was a large player village, and the village was attacked by a group of NPC cavalry.
Chapter completed!
