From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 102 Opening up territories

7000 experience points are too little for Zhuge Liang. This time, he can not only test Chen Qun's sincerity, but also take the opportunity to gain experience points and obtain additional troops. It can be said that he kills three birds with one stone.

Although Ning Mengya can continue to recruit NPCs to supplement the troops, these troops have not yet been baptized by the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is different from that of veteran soldiers who have truly experienced battlefield practice.

If you can conquer the soldiers under the command of other players, this will be a powerful fighting force. Under the command of Zhuge Liang, the power they exert will definitely be more powerful than the newly recruited NPCs!

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang wants the soldiers under the command of these three players.

The cavalry and infantry team of 500 people hurried towards Buzhou Town a hundred miles away, but their speed was relatively slow because Zhuge Liang brought siege equipment with him this time, and it was definitely not as fast as a single cavalry lineup.

……

Buzhou Town.

Player Zhou Bu always felt that something was wrong. Previously, the strategist Chen Qun said that he would lead troops to negotiate an alliance with Changsheng Town and Xianhe Town. Five days have passed now, so why has no news been sent back?
Could it be that the other two towns were unwilling to form an alliance? That was not right. After all, they were all neighbors. Even if they were unwilling to form an alliance, they would never dare to trap Chen Qun in their own territory.

Could it be... that Mr. Chen is in some danger?

This is his number one strategist. Chen Qun is much more important than Huang Gai!
Zhou Bu discovered that, although military generals are important in this game, strategists are more valuable than military generals. The development of the territory, internal affairs, economy, governance, etc. all rely on strategists. It can be said that a powerful strategist is enough to ensure that the player can stabilize the rear.

Only when internal affairs are stable and the economy is improved, can players recruit more NPCs and generals, and the probability of generals appearing is much greater than that of counselors!
This further illustrates the importance of counselors.

Although Zhou Bu is a player, he also trains martial arts in the game. Although his martial arts value is not high, his archery skills are not weak.

So when Huang Gai was killed, he was not very sad or worried. He felt that the next time he recruited, he would most likely be able to recruit a new general who would be able to replace Huang Gai.

This is also why Zhou Bu, who had a little distrust in Huang Gai, shot Huang Gai with an arrow, because military generals are easy to obtain.

But it’s different now. Chen Qun is so precious. There has been no news for five days, which makes Zhou Bu start to worry.

"Report! Repay!"

"My lord, there is an enemy invasion, the number of which is as many as 500."

Zhou Bu was suddenly shocked. If nothing unexpected happened, this group of troops must be soldiers from Daming Town!

Five hundred soldiers are not many. As long as the three towns unite, they will be able to compete with the enemy.

But Chen Qun who went to negotiate has not returned yet...

"Defend the city!"

Zhou Bu gritted his teeth and gave the order. No matter what, they still had a two-meter-high city wall to protect themselves, and it would not be easy for the other side to attack the city.

"Send a personal soldier to Changsheng Town and Xianhe Town to ask for help!"

Zhou is not making arrangements in an orderly manner.

Relying on the protection of the city walls, I believe that Buzhou Town should have no problem holding out for a day or two. When the reinforcements from the other two towns arrive, as long as they defend the city together, they can drag the enemy to death!
If we find an opportunity to counterattack, we may be able to succeed.

Zhou Bu was not in a hurry to go to the city gate to see the situation. As a lord, he felt that he should remain calm no matter what happened. This was not a big deal for him!
……

At the same time, under the city of Buzhou Town.

Zhuge Liang sat on his broken horse, staring at Chen Qun with a smile, meaning, Mr. Chen, it's your turn to perform now.

Whether he is loyal or treacherous will soon be revealed.

Chen Qun also knew that if he wanted to be truly accepted by others, he had to show his loyalty.

He pondered for a moment, then rode his horse slowly to the foot of the city, with two personal soldiers following behind him.

The soldiers on the city wall aimed all their bows and crossbows at Chen Qun, but seeing that there were only three riders coming, the other side was a little confused and did not rush to shoot arrows.

Until... they saw Chen Qun's face and the soldiers behind him clearly.

All the soldiers on the city wall of Buzhou Town were stunned for a moment, with confused looks in their eyes.

Chen Qun spoke towards the top of the city wall: "Everyone, it's me!" "Mr. Chen?"

"Isn't that Mr. Chen? How come he..."

The soldiers were whispering.

Chen Qun continued, "Yes, I betrayed!"

The expressions of the soldiers changed.

Chen Qun continued calmly, "I have fought side by side with you all. Although our territory is small, we have General Huang and me. I think even if we are still weak now, we will have the opportunity to grow stronger in the future. I have confidence in myself, and the same goes for General Huang!"

"But General Huang is dead. He was killed by our lord's arrow."

"I think you know better than me how General Huang treated you, what kind of person he was, and how loyal he was."

"Then may I ask, will General Huang betray us? If he betrayed us, why would he fight to the death with the enemy commander?"

"I dare not give advice to such a lord, because I am not sure if one day I will die like General Huang, just like this!"

"So, I took them with me to Dameng Town."

The two soldiers standing next to Chen Qun shouted, "Brothers! We are not afraid of death. We are soldiers. The duty of a soldier is to defend our country, but the premise is that this home is worth defending!"

"But do you think it's necessary to protect such a lord?"

"Do you dare to entrust your back to such a lord and fight the enemy with all your strength?"

"Brothers, the city gates are open, surrender, General Zhuge will accept you and treat you equally."

"You may not trust the other coach, but you should trust Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qun looked up at the soldiers standing on the top of the city wall and nodded, "Brothers, surrender!"

……

"General, is Chen Qun acting?"

Wang Da was a little unsure and wanted to take out his spear. If Chen Qun made a move to rush into the city, he would kill him with one strike of his spear.

"lay down!"

Zhuge Liang said angrily: "Are you crazy? What's the difference between you and the other coach?"

Wang Da quickly put down his spear.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, staring at the soldiers on the city gate, and said to Wang Da: "If they open the city gate to surrender later, you take a hundred soldiers to escort them back to Dameng Town, and then let Mr. Zhang and Mr. Guo make arrangements for them."

Wang Da nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!"

There was a long silence at the city gate, and then someone spoke up: "I believe in Mr. Chen!"

"Me too!"

"Go open the city gate."

"Go, open the city gate!"

After a while, the city gate opened, all the soldiers laid down their weapons, and rushed towards Zhuge Liang's army!

……

Inside the city.

"Report, report, report, my lord, something bad has happened!"
