From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 153 Experience Points Increase

Zhuge Liang thought to himself, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have gotten any experience points." This time he killed more than 1500 people and gained 150 experience points and 11400 skill points. The total experience points reached 30000/554, and the skill points reached .

I have gained another 1,500 experience points, and I am only two-thirds away from the full experience bar. At that time, I can be promoted to a fourth-rate general.

After he is promoted to a fourth-rate general, he will be compared with Zhang Liao. I just don’t know if Zhang Liao can still withstand Zhuge Liang at that time.

"A bunch of little bastards, they actually dared to launch a sneak attack." Zhang Liao chuckled. He had really satisfied his desire to fight today. It was a great pleasure to fight. It would have been better if Zhuge Liang had not come.

What a pity! Why did this guy come to mess things up?
Zhuge Liang also had the same idea. Why did he think of bringing this monster Zhang Liao to the border? If he had not come, all the experience points of these 100 cavalrymen would have been his, and the experience points could have increased by 5,000 at that time.

……

Wu Dynasty, main city, meeting hall.

Zhuge Jin, Xiahou Yuan, Wu Yingxiong and others were waiting for news.

Previously, they also felt that they should prepare a good strategic defense to avoid a head-on conflict with the Dameng Dynasty. However, so many soldiers died on the border, and the soldiers in the army complained after hearing the news.

This is because Wu Chao did not do a good job of keeping it confidential. Once these opinions were spread, the consequences could be imagined.

As a result, the Wu Dynasty had to start strategic defense. Following Zhuge Jin's suggestion, it sent more than one hundred soldiers to the border to launch a tentative attack.

Whether it is killing the enemy's army or killing the civilians on the enemy's border, as long as they kill people and bring them back, it will be fine. In this way, they can publicize it internally and thus quell the grievances within the army.

To take a step back, even if no one on the other side was killed, at least the attitude was made clear, and it would not allow people in the military to continue to expand public opinion on the matter.

If the soldiers in the army felt that the rulers of the Wu Dynasty were weak, the consequences would naturally be serious.

But soon, a personal soldier hurried to the meeting room, found Wu Yingxiong, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, something happened."

Wu Yingxiong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The more than one hundred cavalrymen we sent out have not returned. It's as if they disappeared."

Upon hearing the news, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

It is already very obvious that this group of soldiers were completely wiped out by the enemy, not a single one was left!
How many troops did the enemy have deployed on the border? Zhuge Jin had already arranged for them to go to the most remote place... Why were they still wiped out?
Of course, what he didn't know was that this was really a coincidence, but in their eyes, the number of troops of the Dameng Dynasty had exceeded their imagination!

Otherwise, how could there be so many troops defending everywhere?
You know, the death of these one hundred cavalrymen was definitely not a simple death. Zhuge Jin had instructed them that if the enemy had too many troops, they should not get entangled but run away immediately.

They were light cavalry, and they couldn't defeat the enemy, so couldn't they just run away? Even if they took a step back, the more than 100 cavalrymen were not fools, and they couldn't let so many soldiers die if they ran away one by one in different directions, and not a single one of them came back alive.

What does this mean? This can only mean that the enemy has a lot of troops, far more than a hundred, but that is the most remote border... They can deploy so many troops, isn't it enough to show that the enemy has a terrifying number of troops?

When Zhuge Jin told everyone this analysis, everyone was stunned.

Makes sense!

Xiahou Yuan also frowned and said, "Mr. Zhuge, according to your analysis, what is the approximate range of the enemy's military strength?"

All the generals and counselors were listening carefully. Zhuge Jin pondered for a long time before saying, "If they could kill one hundred of our cavalrymen silently in a remote border area, then the enemy's strength here should be around one thousand."

"A more prosperous town should have about 3,000 soldiers. The Dameng Dynasty has 16 large towns, and the estimated military strength should be around 50,000!"

Hearing this number, everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Fifty thousand troops...

All the troops of their Wu Dynasty added up to no more than 30,000 men, while the enemy had more than 20,000 men more than them!

These are elite soldiers, recruited one by one by the lord. They do not include the militia recruited from the public. That group of militia has almost no combat effectiveness.

But no matter what, the impact of 50,000 troops on them was too great!

There were an extra 20,000 elite soldiers. Both the counselors and the generals knew what this meant.

Xiahou Yuan said: "At present, the gap between us and the enemy is too big. We should strengthen our defense first and dispatch more troops to guard the border cities."

"From now on, don't let anyone leave the border. Everyone should stay in the city and not go out. Focus on domestic development. At all costs, you must pile up the military strength. You can give up the economy as much as possible."

"Use all the strength of the territory to develop the military industry!"

Once this decision is made, it means that the people in the Wu Dynasty will live in dire straits.

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. It is undoubtedly squeezing the people's living space. What if the people flee?"

Wu Yingxiong supported Xiahou Yuan. He said to Zhuge Jin, "Sir, have you ever thought about this: if we lose the war, what qualifications do we have to care about the lives of the people?"

"Only by staying alive can we better lead the people, so we must develop military merit at all costs... Otherwise, what if they understand our true strength during this period of time and launch an invasion against us?"

Zhuge Jin said: "The enemy has twice as many troops as us. Even if we attack the city, it will not be easy to break it."

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "We can't take the main city, but what about the towns in other places? We only have so many generals. Can we defend so many cities?"

"If the generals die, the consequences will be even more serious. What will happen if the enemy concentrates all its forces to besiege our main city?"

"So no matter what, we must first focus on the development of our soldiers. When we increase the number of soldiers to a level similar to that of the enemy, we will be qualified to talk about defensive counterattacks."

Zhuge Jin still shook his head and said, "General! My Lord! This is not how you govern a country. The more soldiers the army has, the better. You have to develop the economy little by little, not all at once. This will easily lead to problems."

Wu Yingxiong shook his head and said, "No problem. It's a chaotic time now, so it's okay for the people to suffer. Mr. Zhuge, there's no need to say more. Just focus on developing the military industry first. There's no need to develop anything else. Just develop the military force directly!"

"Concentrate all economic resources, manufacture armor and weapons, recruit soldiers, and make sure our military strength is equal to that of the enemy at all costs!"

Zhuge Jin sighed helplessly and could only say, "As you command."
