Summon players to expand territory for me

(I’m so touched. I thought no one would read this book, but someone actually gave me a reward! I’m so motivated, I’ll add another chapter!)

If the terrain is flat, you can walk about a hundred miles. If the terrain is mountainous, you can only walk thirty or forty kilometers. The ancients used thirty miles as a unit, which is the speed of marching in one day.

The terrain of the Huai Kingdom is like a basin. The middle part is relatively flat and the soil is fertile. There are many hills on the border with other countries. However, they are not densely populated and are mainly concentrated in some locations. However, if used well, it can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Compared with the troops that have been dispatched, the merchant army is not large in number, and the supplies are relatively sufficient. The soldiers have high physical fitness. If the journey is doubled and there are supply points on the way to provide food, grass and accommodation, it can be completed in a few days. It is possible to travel more than 300 miles (100 kilometers) in one day to reach the destination.

There were three cities between the capital and the battle point. The two cities near the battle point were occupied by the Wu army. The merchant army only needed to pass through the two cities and then march a short distance to the battlefield.

Shang Yin rode on a tall horse and ordered to set up camp in the nearby city. The troops in order and majesty entered the city gate with the word "Pingcheng" in an orderly manner.

After entering Pingcheng, the streets paved with bluestones were deserted. There were no hawkers or noisy pedestrians like in the capital city. On the empty streets, the only sound that could be heard was the tapping of soldiers' boots and stone slabs.

If it weren't for the fact that the residents with their doors and windows on both sides of the street were vaguely looking at each other through the gaps, and that they had guards opening the city gates, they would have thought they were in an empty city.

There were a lot of soldiers, but it was impossible to live in the city. Instead, the large troops were arranged near the junction of the battlefield and the city.

There is also something special about setting up camp. The camp is divided into layers, with a large camp outside and a small camp inside. The big camp is within the smaller camp. Shang Yin's military camp as an army general is at the innermost place. The military camps of other deputy generals are also surrounded by several layers of military camps. In the front are the camp gates and barracks, and in the back are the military camps and military tents.

Once completed, start building the fort. Fortification is an important part of camping, and it is directly related to the safety of the army. Generally, fortifications are divided into two layers: inner and outer. The inner layer is the main fortification, and the outer layer is the auxiliary fortification. The inner layer should be high and thick, with trenches and arrow towers to resist enemy attacks. The outer layer should be low and dense, with fences and traps to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

However, they are currently on their own territory, and the local troops who arrived earlier than the merchant army have been stationed in some nearby locations for some time. Although they still have to camp by themselves, they do not need to arrange too much. After counting the number of people, they will make the layout. , most of the soldiers began to build "outdoor military camps", and some were arranged to make simple traps and guardrails on the outside.

Shang Yin led a large army, so he was naturally noticed. The prefect of Pingfu personally came to entertain him. His son Shang Yu and other local generals who brought the army to join were also there. Having a meal together was a handover of tasks. In the first round, Shang Yin simply arranged the next affairs for the adjutant and went to the banquet.

The special status of the players made them like giant Buddhas in the army. Shang Yin tried his best not to order them to do anything. At this time, when the player left, the one with the highest title was the adjutant who followed him, and the superiors did not dare to give instructions. So this person The adjutant was even less afraid.

The adjutant just gave them the task of setting up tents and setting up the military camp, and then left stiffly - saying that he was going to keep an eye on the soldiers outside.

The players didn't notice so much, but ran to the escort officer with great interest to get tent materials.

The structure of the tent is simple and adopts a conical shape. All tents have one side close to the tent poles and meet at the tent roof to form an opening.

Such a structure can ensure indoor air circulation and smooth exhaust, and can also ensure that the tent is not exposed to the sun and overheat. At the same time, it prevents various odors in the tent from being too concentrated and affecting the health of the soldiers.

There are usually many small details inside the tent, such as convenient buckles, hooks and bags to easily store equipment, clothing, weapons, etc.

Some tents will be deliberately set up to be larger, and partitions will be added to separate different functional areas, such as rest areas, weapon areas and doorways, which can be used as public areas.

When the players got serious, their hands-on skills were still very strong. They helped each other and set up their "Heavenly Soldiers Base Camp" in no time. Because there were male and female players, even though they were offline like lying dead, it was still symbolic. Put up partitions.

Everyone put their weapons in the tent, and some were sitting on the ground chatting idlely. They looked at the open tent door and saw people coming and going outside. The soldiers holding materials to build the military camp looked particularly busy. Suddenly, they found that they seemed to have nothing to do. Done.

How can this be done? No sense of participation at all.

"Should we go find the deputy general? We can't just stay here stupidly, right?"

"Does it violate any military rules if we run out at will? Don't deduct your favor and affect the mission."

"We definitely can't all go. Let's send a representative to talk to the NPC leader of our camp."

"I also think, isn't our channel divided into many groups? We will still have to cooperate with these NPCs at that time, so why not let us know in advance."

Who should we send? The players looked at each other.

"Choose to watch chess. He is one of the people in charge we reported to the NPC, and his mind is spinning very fast!" "Long Aotian" sometimes is very self-aware of his own weight, so he tried his best He praised his own "strategist".

Most of the players had no objections, so "Guanqi Speechless" himself was pushed out of the tent before he said anything and asked the general on their behalf.

"Watching chess without saying a word": "..." I hate rich people who have no sense of boundaries.

Compared with the overall dark lining and armor of the soldiers, the lining and armor of the players' clothes are all bright colors, which makes them look quite eye-catching as they "watch the game without saying a word" while walking through the military camp.

Most of the soldiers couldn't hold it back. After looking at him, they tried their best to hide their gazes, lowered their heads and walked faster. They "watched the chess without saying a word" and almost thought that they were some domineering bully who was avoided by others.

However, it is also convenient to wear clothes that can be used to distinguish. Some officers whose clothes seemed to be more advanced than ordinary soldiers did not seem to have any intention to stop him. They looked at him with secret eyes and then calmly said He took it back and seemed not to see him at all.

"Watching the chess without saying a word" couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was not right. Everyone's attitude towards him could actually reflect the attitude towards the heavenly soldiers from the side.

None of the soldiers along the way seemed to have actively interacted with their group of players. The few who did talk to them were the social-favorite players, but basically the ones I encountered were the kind who just ignored them.

"Watching the chess without saying a word" had an intuition in his heart that there seemed to be something wrong with the attitude of these soldiers towards them.

But his current mission is not to find out this.

"Watching the chess without saying a word" subjectively ignored what was wrong, and found the deputy general who was watching the sentry soldiers outside to lay a trap.

"Guanqi Speechless" simply stated the players' requirements - they wanted to join the military activities, and arranged for suitable people to come in and help.

The deputy general agreed readily, but his expression looked strange. After noticing the strange attitude in the army, he did not forget to focus on the opponent even when facing the deputy general who was very talkative. Therefore, he did not ignore the scrutiny in the other party's eyes after hearing his request, and the flash of less obvious ridicule after agreeing.

Good guy, he seems to understand, it turns out that from top to bottom, these people seem to look down on them!

"Watching the chess without saying a word" had a flash of inspiration, and he had an idea of ​​the reason, and the attitudes and reactions of the soldiers seemed to be traceable.

"Watching the chess without saying a word" had an idea in his mind, but he remained polite and courteous on the surface. He said hello to the deputy general before leaving.

He walked back along the road, but before he reached the "Heavenly Soldiers" tent, he heard the sound of laughter inside from a long distance away.

"Watching the chess without saying a word":. . . . . . It's not unreasonable for those people to dislike it.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, opened the curtain of the tent, and brought in the good news while watching the chess without saying a word.

The players did not notice the strange expression and deliberate tone of "watching the game without saying a word", and everyone happily divided into teams and prepared to set off.

Or "Long Aotian" felt that the attitude of "watching the game without saying anything" was not right. He noticed that the other party was looking at the speechless expressions of the players, and felt that the other party had something to say, so he stood up and called on everyone to quiet down.

"Watching the chess without saying a word" unexpectedly glanced at "Long Aotian", and he was actually a little relieved.

"Long Aotian": "Hey, stop it, what's that look in your eyes?! I'm your boss!!! This is not polite!"

After a while of commotion, everyone calmed down. They watched the chess without saying a word, looking at the silly compatriots with a heavy tone.

"Did you notice anything wrong?"

There seemed to be question marks over everyone's heads. No one spoke, and their eyes were wandering - is there something wrong? !

"Think about it carefully, how do you feel about the military NPCs in our camp?"

"Pippi Shrimp": "Very cold and doesn't like to talk."

"Very strong, with good physical fitness and strong muscles" "Long Aotian" spoke enthusiastically.

"Hey - your statement is a bit dangerous." "Xiao He Cai Lu" glanced at the other party.

The players below were talking all over the place and had all kinds of answers. Some people even shouted "No Riddler" without even thinking about it.

"...There seems to be something wrong with their attitude." A rather serious answer stood out among the many silly answers.

"Who answered just now?"

"Watching the chess without saying a word" his eyes lit up, and he followed the sound and saw a gentle-looking young man. At this time, everyone was paying attention to him, and his face was a bit shy.

"This person's name is——" "Guanqi Speechless" was unusually silent. The game ID on this shy guy's head was seriously inconsistent with his own.
