Chapter 675 Taking Over

There is another problem that makes everyone headache, that is, how many troops will the Black Mountain Bandits send out to attack Zhaojia Village.

Normally, the best ratio of soldiers to civilians in a city in the game is one to ten, and the city can basically maintain balance. Once this ratio is exceeded, there will be a fiscal deficit. If there is no continuous input of money and food from the outside, it can probably only support it for a few months and lead to collapse.

The reason why Zhaojia Village has more than 10,000 people but can have 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry can be said to be a bug in the system for the original fortress. The 3,000 infantry here are not real soldiers of the system, but they are classified as clan soldiers. They usually farm, participate in training during the slack season, and become soldiers in wartime, which is a bit similar to the function of farming in Zaoqi.

Of course, if this fortress becomes a player force, then the farming function of this clan soldier will automatically disappear, and then these soldiers will be transferred to soldiers of corresponding ranks in the barracks according to their military level.

For example, the real strength of Zhaojia Village is actually only the 500 cavalry and the 3,000 infantry. When Zhao Feng decided to join Huangfu Chaobo with his whole family, they had already changed their jobs in the military camp and became fifth-level spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and longbow soldiers.

After figuring out these, Pang Tong carefully examined the situation of the forces around Zhaojia Village. Zhaojia Village is located to the west of Zhending, between the three cities of Jingxing, Zhending and Shiyi. Jingxing and Shiyi are now under the control of the Black Mountain Army, while Zhending County City still belongs to the court forces, but it is more inclined to Yuan Shao.

After thinking for a while, Pang Tong pointed to the location of Zhaojia Village and said, "According to the information sent back by Shadow and Yiren, there are about several thousand Black Mountain troops in Jingxing and Shiyi, so I estimate that if the Black Mountain troops know that our army is escorting nearly 10,000 people to the south, a large number of soldiers will definitely be transferred to the south to intercept, and the number of troops that can be sent to attack should be around 5,000, so our army only needs to leave 1,000 people in Zhaojia Village."

After a pause, he said, "In my opinion, it is enough for General Zhao to lead 500 Yuanrong crossbowmen and 500 Zhaojia Village cavalry in Zhaojia Village. One thousand soldiers, each with three horses, can return in just one day after ensuring the safety of Zhaojia Village. Of course, these cavalrymen must not go directly south, but use the night time to go east first, and then turn south, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the Black Mountain Army."

Then Pang Tong explained to everyone that the reason why the 500 Zhaojia Village cavalrymen were left behind was because they were local people in Zhending, familiar with the terrain, and could successfully avoid the Black Mountain Army and return to Zhao State.

As for how to contact the Black Mountain Army and how to persuade the Black Mountain Army, that is Cheng Xiong's own business. You know, Huangfu Chaobo and Zhang Yan can be said to have a deep hatred.

After discussing for a while, the few people left and got busy.

Cheng Xiong came to the administrative hall with Zhao Feng, and they were going to hand over. After entering the administrative hall, Zhao Feng opened the management interface and handed the list of all the people who moved south to Huangfu Chaobo. Then, these people will be settled in Yanshi, and the remaining 2,146 villagers will continue to stay in Zhaojia Village.

Then, Zhao Feng crossed out his name in the lord's name column and filled in Cheng Xiong's name. After doing all this, he took a deep breath again, and then lingered around. After all, this is his hometown. In the future, maybe there will be no chance to see it again. . .

After a while, Zhao Feng pointed his finger at the confirmation and pressed it heavily.

Then, the system's prompt sounded in Orange Bear's ears: "Congratulations to the player Orange Bear. Zhao Feng, the village chief of Zhaojia Village, has transferred the management authority to you. Do you want to accept it?"

"Yes" Do you still need to ask this? Orange Bear suppressed his excitement and cursed in his heart;

"Congratulations to the player for becoming the manager of Zhaojia Village. Do you want to change the name of the territory?"

"No" It must be no. Some people in the alliance have suggested that Zhao Yun's residence be made into a tourist attraction for publicity.

"Congratulations to the player. According to the system detection,

the territory has reached the scale of a large town. The name of the territory is Zhaojia Town."

Yes, I picked up a benefit for free.

"Congratulations to the player. According to the system detection, the population of the territory is 2147 people, which has not reached the basic population of 10,000 people at the level of a large town. Please make up the population within one month. If the requirement is not met, the level will be determined according to the population of the territory at the expiration time. The countdown begins: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds..."

"Puff..." Hearing this congratulation, Orange Bear almost vomited blood. There are still 7,000 or 8,000 people missing to reach the population of a large town, so you should come to congratulate them. Fortunately, the alliance still has tens of thousands of people, plus there are several villages around, so it is still easy to get 10,000 people.

After finishing these, Zhao Feng left the administrative hall with everyone, leaving only Orange Bear alone inside. First, the main force of the alliance branch Jizhou was pulled into the territory, and then the peripheral personnel were pulled into the territory according to the alliance contribution, and the players who met the requirements were also pulled into the territory. In this way, the population of the territory is nearly 9,000 people.

Although there is still a gap of more than 1,000 people, Orange Bear is not in a hurry. For the player territory, it is still very easy to reach 10,000 people. It’s just that if there are too many players and too few natives, it will be detrimental to the development of the territory. After all, many things still need to be done by natives, such as farming, logging, and military sources. These mainly rely on these NPCs.

After finishing all this, Cheng Xiong selected 300 young and strong men from the more than 2,000 people who stayed, and all of them were transferred to soldiers in the military camp. This is the only force in Zhaojia Town at present. While these famous generals of Huangfu Chaobo are still there, it is better to give them as much training as possible than to mess around by themselves.

At this time, the sky has begun to slowly darken, and after receiving the notice, the Zilong Club players in Zhending have also come to the outside of Zhaojia Town one after another. Because they are all registered as residents of Zhaojia Town, the soldiers on duty quickly put them into the town.

At this time, in Yecheng, the governor's mansion received the news that Huangfu Chaobo had led tens of thousands of war horses to the south, and Han Fu immediately sent people to gather Jue Zhang He and others. After a few people discussed urgently, Zhang He gathered all the horses in the city, and finally gathered more than 20,000 horses, and then led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to march north.

Behind them, there were 20,000 soldiers led by another general, also heading towards the direction of Zhao State.
