Chapter 43 Plague
In a large room in Yinling Village, there were nearly 50 refugees hiding shivering inside. They were sallow and skinny, including men, women, and some children. With intense fear in their eyes, they huddled in the corner and shivered.
The wounds of being whipped can be clearly seen on many of the refugees, and the congestion has not gone away.
Seeing such a cruel scene, even Zhuge Liang stood there stunned for a while.
Wang Da told Zhuge Liang that these refugees were all captured by bandits, and they worked for the bandits every day to reclaim water conservancy, plant crops, go up the mountains to cut firewood, and collect iron ore.
They were hungry every day and were often beaten by slaves.
After finishing speaking, Wang Da's eyes also showed a bit of sadness.
Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment and asked Wang Dada: "Have you checked carefully to see if there are any bandits pretending to be here?"
Wang Da shook his head. If there were really robbers, there would be no traces of whipping on their bodies. He had carefully examined the wounds on everyone's body.
"General, if we take these refugees back, they can also help us obtain a lot of resources."
Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "Have you sent someone to inform the Lord and Mr. Guo?"
Wang DaDao: "I sent people there a long time ago, and now they are on their way here."
"Okay, let Mr. Guo handle these refugees."
"By the way, what did you mean by collecting iron ore?"
Wang DaDao: "There is a small iron mine in the back hill of this village. They just discovered it not long ago and they are mining it to make iron armor."
Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain!
As long as the third wave of bandits are dealt with, the territory with a radius of about three miles with Dameng Village as the center will be captured!
Not long after, Ning Mengya came with Guo Tu and others.
Seeing this group of refugees huddled in the corner, Guo Tu suggested that they be brought back to Dameng Village. Such a large number of refugees would undoubtedly be a huge labor force, which could help Dameng Village obtain more grain, grass, timber and other resources.
Zhuge Liang himself did not disagree, and everything was done according to Guo Tu's wishes.
Wang Da counted the battlefield resources and obtained a total of 5 war horses, 14 gold coins, 28 silver coins, 96 copper coins, 769 grain and grass, and 16 pairs of rattan armor.
This time the harvest was obviously more than the last time.
As a result, the resources of Dameng Village became: food*2692, gold coins 20, silver coins 46, and copper coins 174!
There were also sacrifices on this battlefield. 3 cavalry were sacrificed, 5 sword and shield soldiers were sacrificed, 21 infantry were sacrificed, and 3 archers were sacrificed. However, only 2 of the militiamen with armor were sacrificed. It can be seen that the militiamen sacrificed even if they had It is the lowest vine armor protection, and the probability of survival on the battlefield will be greatly increased.
After replenishing the armor, the number of armored soldiers in Dameng Village reached 40. Five more sword and shield soldiers were converted into cavalry, and the number of cavalry was replenished.
In this way, the militiamen of Dameng Village came as follows.
Militia*73 (Archers*24, Shield Soldiers*10, Spearmen*13, Cavalry*8, Infantry*3, Scouts*5, Axemen*6, Halberdiers*4).
The number of civilian husbands also increased from the previous 45 to 96, and this time 51 refugees were subdued.
【Lord】: Lemon Duck
[Fiefdom]: Dameng Village (third-level village)
[Members]: Villagers*96, Militia*73 (Archers*24, Sword and Shield Soldiers*10, Spearmen*13, Cavalry*8, Infantry*3, Scouts*5, Axemen*6, Halberd Soldier*4)
[Buildings]: Barracks (Level 3), Medical Center (Level 1)
[Resources]: Food*2692, gold coins 20, silver coins 46, copper coins 174
So far, Dameng Village has captured two bandit strongholds, and it only took about a month and six days.
After returning to Dameng Village, Guo Tu first arranged the refugees in a centralized manner and allowed them to move in in batches after the subsequent houses were built. Then he asked two doctors from Dameng Village to treat their wounds.
After arranging everything, Guo Tucai came to the meeting hall of Dameng Village. This battle exposed the importance of scouts, and the next step will undoubtedly be to focus on upgrading scouts.
At the same time, the number of infantrymen decreased rapidly, and the barracks were not full. The next recruitment of Rinin Mengya could be to recruit militiamen until the barracks were full.
Now that the gold coins in Dameng Village have reached 20, you only need to wait for another five days and recruit the third-level barracks to fully upgrade the territory and barracks.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang's experience points are not full, and he cannot upgrade to a ninth-rate general.
But soon.
During this period, you can go hunting in the mountains to gain experience. There are fewer and fewer wild beasts in the back mountains of Dameng Village, but two new territories have been opened up, where you can still hunt to gain experience.
After the battle to suppress the bandits, Zhuge Liang's skill points increased to 200, and he could upgrade his spear skills, archery skills, sword skills, and Mo Dao skills.
Among them, the intermediate spearmanship still had 55 points to upgrade to the advanced spearmanship, so he first chose to allocate it to the intermediate spearmanship.
After the distribution was completed, he still had 145 skill points. Since then, all four of his skills have become advanced.
These 145 skill points can also be allocated to four skills. There are restrictions on upgrading generals, but there are no restrictions on upgrading skills. You only need to allocate skill points to them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
However, Zhuge Liang was hesitant as to which of the four skill points he should upgrade.
Thinking that Chi Python also needs 200 skill points to upgrade... Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, Wang Da, you guys deserve to die!
If more enemies were killed in this bandit war, the skill points would not be so low, which would lead to a tangled distribution.
After saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive, Wang Da hurried over, looking extremely flustered.
"What's the matter?"
Zhuge Liang was annoyed. When he saw Wang Da, he wanted to give him a big sinus. He was startled all day long.
Wang Da hurriedly said: "General, Mr. Guo asked you to go over, something happened!"
Zhuge Liang: "What's the matter?"
Wang DaDao: "General, you will know when you go there."
"Roll the ball! Say something!"
How did this Wang Da develop the character of being a show-off? The characters of the NPCs in Qidian are so damn capable of growth!
Wang Da hurriedly said: "That, that, many of those refugees are infected with the plague!"
Zhuge Liang was slightly startled and frowned.
Before Yang Song died, he begged for mercy and said that he would take Damengcun with him to be buried with him.
I guess he came up with this poisonous plan!
Yang Song came up with two strategies in total. The first one was to steal the house, but Chi Mang solved it.
The second one was to inject the plague into the refugees. He expected that Zhuge Liang would definitely rescue those poor refugees. After all, Zhuge Liang was not a bandit. They had human nature and would not ignore death.
As long as he is saved, the disaster in Dameng Village will come instantly!
This strategy cannot be cracked at all. If Zhuge Liang had let Yang Song go, Yang Song would have told the truth about the refugees being infected with the plague.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang didn't give him a chance and chopped him with a knife!
