Chapter 16 Eight Banners Cavalry
“Ding, you have gained Fu Zhu’s trust, and Fu Zhu has decided to pledge allegiance to you.”

Li Qian’s investment was worth it, as he finally recruited his first local general.

Li Qian can see Fu Rong’s character attributes on the territory panel.

[Story]: General of Jingzhou, highly valued by Liu Bei. In the Battle of Yiling, Fu Zhu, Fu Kuang, Zhao Rong, Liao Hua and other generals served as special commanders. The [Attack Wu] stage ability can be unlocked at level 70.

……

Fu Rong’s abilities are divided into two stages: [General of Jingzhou] and [Attack Wu].

Before the Battle of Yiling, Fu Rong was still an unknown military general, so his command value was low, but his military strength was outstanding.

By the time the campaign came to [attack Wu], I wonder how far Fu Rong could have grown?
Wei Yan, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, and Fu Zhu were all generals from the Jingzhou faction promoted by Liu Bei when he entered Shu. During this period, Liu Bei obviously wanted to train the second generation of generals. In Liu Bei’s eyes, these people had great potential, but unfortunately, many of the trained generals died in the Battle of Yiling, and the talents withered.

Fu Xun’s current strength is 84. When seriously injured, his strength can be increased to a maximum of 92.

No wonder that on that day, when Fu Rong led his troops to hold the circular formation, the Yellow Turban army, which was dozens of times larger than Fu Rong, was unable to defeat him quickly.

In desperate situations, few Yellow Turban generals could defeat Fu Rong single-handedly.

On the flat ground outside Tiance Village, five hundred soldiers were lined up, including one hundred cavalrymen, two hundred archers and crossbowmen, and two hundred sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, all dressed in sharp armor and in neat uniform.

Li Qian brought two generals, Cheng Yaojin and Fu Rong, with him, and offered sacrifices to the flag with auspicious objects before going to the battle, doing his best.

“Ding, you offer sacrifices before going to battle, morale +7, current morale is 98.”

Li Qian was very satisfied with the morale of Tiance Village.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The impact of morale on combat effectiveness is self-evident.

With low morale, both generals and soldiers will become afraid of fighting and even turn against their own side in battle.

The morale was high, and even if the battle went to the last soldier, no one had the intention of rebelling.

The morale value of the army is not static.

Protracted wars, failed battles, the death of the main general, the capture of the general’s flag, etc. will all lead to a decline in morale.

On the contrary, events such as unstoppable force, killing enemy generals in battle, and capturing cities will boost morale.

Li Qian left Zhao Xiancai, Ma Yue and Zhang Dahu to guard the village.

Li Qian left enough money, food and construction drawings for Zhao Xiancai, allowing Zhao Xiancai to build the village according to the plan.

Li Qian went to support Xinye City for another purpose – to recruit a group of Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army are able-bodied men. Recruiting them will help to enrich the population.

To become the number one town in the world, we are still short of 10,000 people.

Xinye City was crowded with people. Thousands of players from Xinye County gathered to assist Xinye Commander in defending the city.

The army brought by free players and lord players numbered more than 100,000 people, and they were so densely packed that the originally small Xinye City was now overcrowded.

The Xinye magistrate was relieved to receive reinforcements of more than 100,000 troops, but he was also worried about the food and fodder problem in Xinye City.

There were only 10,000 Han troops in Xinye City, and the food and fodder were prepared according to this number.

Now there are more than 100,000 players and their troops, and the food consumption has increased tenfold. If Xinye City is besieged by the Yellow Turban Army for a long time, it will be cut off from food and soldiers.

“Wangba Village’s chief Nan Batian is here!” “The cavalrymen around him look extremely brave!”

“The Bordered Yellow Banner… Could it be the Eight Banners Cavalry?”

“How is it possible that someone could recruit the Eight Banners in the early stages?”

“You don’t know this, right? Upgrading a large village will give you 20 special soldiers. Nan Batian has the template of Aobai, who is the commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner Guard. Of course, the special soldiers are from the Bordered Yellow Banner among the Eight Banners.”

“Damn, he has a cavalry of 20 Eight Banners. Who in Xinye County can compete with him?”

The players in Xinye County looked at the arriving troops with envy.

Nan Batian rode a tall horse, looking arrogant and domineering.

Behind him was a team of heavily armored cavalrymen, who wore chainmail vests made of thin iron rings, iron armor in the middle, and a layer of yellow cotton armor with red edges on the outside. Their helmets covered their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that were filled with murderous intent.

The armor of this cavalry is of a distinctive style. Players familiar with the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties can tell at a glance that this is the Yellow Bordered Banner of the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners are divided into Yellow Bordered, Pure Yellow, Pure White, Pure Red, White Bordered, Red Bordered, Pure Blue and Blue Bordered. In Global Warring States, the Eight Banners have some common characteristics, but each banner has some different characteristics.

Only by gathering the Eight Banners troops together can the power of the Eight Banners Army be truly unleashed.

Even so, if the Bordered Yellow Banner is taken out alone, its combat effectiveness is quite fierce.

In addition to these twenty elite Eight Banners, there were four hundred soldiers following behind them.

In the village stage, with only four hundred soldiers, he was already a local tyrant.

“Didn’t you see Brother Nan coming? Why don’t you get out of here?”

Nan Batian also has a team of players following him closely, and they volunteered to clear the field for him in front.

They tried to please Nan Batian, thinking that if Nan Batian could establish his own regime, they might be able to become generals.

The other players were not as strong as Nan Batian, so they dared not say anything and quickly avoided him.

“Humph, the achievement of defending Xinye and the opportunity to recruit Deng Zhi all belong to me, Nan Batian.”

Nan Batian looked around at all the players in Xinye City. The stronger lords brought one or two hundred soldiers. The weaker lords only had dozens of spearmen, and some even brought local militia.

These people posed no threat to him.

A cavalry of twenty Eight Banners men was enough to easily defeat hundreds of infantrymen.

What’s more, Nan Batian also brought an additional 400 soldiers.

“Which village are those soldiers from?”

“And heavy cavalry?!”

“His military force is even stronger than Nan Batian’s!”

Behind Nan Batian, another player lord arrived at Xinye City with his troops.

Compared with the bright cotton clothes of the Bordered Yellow Banner Cavalry, this is a team of black-armored cavalry, and the cold light of their lances is chilling.

This player lord brought a total of 500 soldiers, 100 of which were cavalry, which was even more exaggerated than Wang Ba Village.

Nan Batian was confused.

How come there is a lord in Xinye County who is more powerful than him?

“I didn’t expect so many people to come to Xinye City. Maybe there are more people than the Yellow Turban Army.”

The lord who arrived was Li Qian.

His eyes met Nan Batian’s, and he noticed the special troops that Nan Batian brought with him.

Isn’t this a yellow flag?
Unfortunately, Li Qian brought the stronger Black Armor Army and two powerful generals.
