Mystery Makes Me Strong - #1932 - Chapter 1932: poker showdown
When the allied armies of nobles were waiting, setting up traps, wrangling banquets, and colluding with each other, the poker players were under heavy pressure and turned into liver emperors.
“All poultry and livestock must not be slaughtered without permission! Come to the designated location for slaughter, and give you five copper coins for each slaughter!”
“Collect live mice, live pheasants, and all kinds of live game at high prices!”
“Buy all kinds of big animals that are about to die!”
The farmers, peddlers, unemployed, and homeless people of the Rotes Kingdom are all happy.
They finally have a channel to share the wealth that the poker players robbed from the nobles, such as food, cloth, salt… these necessities of life.
The biggest problem in agricultural society is not the shortage of labor, but the accumulation of excess labor on the land, which leads to people who want to make money but have nowhere to make money.
A lot of wealth is deposited in the warehouses of the gentlemen, the grain is rotten, the cloth is moldy, the copper coins are rusted… But the poor have no place to sell their labor and buy these things.
Well now, the population of more than 10 million people in the entire Rotes Kingdom has begun to serve the upgrade of more than 5,000 poker players.
At first, some soldiers did not want to give money and wanted to forcibly recruit them, but that was too inefficient.
Some soldiers gave money, and the farmers gave them the mice they caught, and everyone started to roll up.
Lancelot taught them that as long as the land was there, as long as the river was there, as long as the farmer was there, wealth would flow.
The land and the river produce food, and the food feeds the farmers and their children, who can work and create more and more money.
Such a simple truth, not a shrewd aristocrat, can’t understand it.
Occupy the land deed and exchange the grain produced by the farmers themselves for the farmers to work for them. This is the easiest and most cost-effective transaction.
The power of food and money is huge. In just ten days, the soldiers have been upgraded to five levels on average, which is faster than the upgrade speed on the battlefield.
Skills are not added randomly, but according to Lancelot’s arrangements and requirements, to add points in a targeted manner.
For example, the most important scout points are added.
The very few soldiers with psychic linking skills are regarded as the most protected objects, second only to Lancelot himself.
There are only three of them in total, and ten people are arranged around each of them to protect them in turn, and they will not fail alone for a minute.
Then there are their partners, people with reconnaissance skills such as eagle eyes and wolf ears.
None of these people knew the importance of maps better than Lancelot.
As a former wild knight, if you want to survive on the battlefield, the first thing you need to do is to be familiar with the terrain. At least when you run away, you can’t run into a dead end: valleys, river banks, cliffs…
He selected 450 scouts, which was already extremely large, nearly one-tenth of the 5,000.
Then there is the addition of the main output arms.
Long-range is the most important thing in output. Although archers have low lethality, often after a battle, they will not account for more than one tenth of the total number of kills, but they are indispensable.
Hold your ground, it’s not a casual talk.
They can stabilize the formation on their side, so that the enemy can’t rush forward rashly.
Far and away accuracy, strong bow, poison arrow, rocket technique, ice arrow technique, one by one, the skills in Invincible Heroes, Darkness, and Warcraft appear randomly.
Lancelot first let some people choose, and after checking the effect, he chose the most cost-effective one, and let others add points.
For example, poison arrows, not too many, but not too few, he selected 80 people to fight against the boss.
Rocket technique is the best group killing technique, and against soldiers composed of ordinary people, it is simply a map cannon in the Middle Ages.
If it is matched with the terrain, it is even more powerful.
Other skills follow the same analogy.
In short, when the allied nobles sensed something was wrong and marched again… mainly when the food was almost the same, Lancelot’s 5,000 poker players had already been trained.
Scouting, damage, defense, maneuvering, healing, support… a complete big team.
“See no, warriors, this is our true strength! Scattered out, we can only be submerged by nobles, but when we unite, we are the tallest mountain, the deepest sea, the coldest glaciers, the hottest hell!”
Lancelot excitedly reviewed his army of poker players.
Players or something, still does not conform to their thinking habits.
After all, in their lives, it is difficult to imagine that they can start a family by “playing”.
“Oh, oh, oh!” The soldiers were also very excited.
They have seen their power.
Several times when the nobles scattered troops came to pursue and suppress them alone, they were all discovered by them first, then set up an ambush, and once sent out, the enemy scattered, and then outflanked the pursuit.
A simple routine, but the enemy can’t escape, and they are often easily defeated by them.
They captured thousands of people successively, not one of them died, but dozens of farmers who worked in logistics.
That is because of non-combat deaths, such as falling to death, death from illness.
“Now, the outpost reports that the enemy has been dispatched. There are a total of 200,000 people, including 60,000 soldiers and 140,000 farmers… Are you afraid?” Lancelot smiled and said to everyone.
“It’s too little, 200,000 people, one person can only be divided into forty people, and it’s not enough for us to be promoted now!” A big soldier shouted.
“Yeah, it’s too few, and it’s not easy to kill if you surrender. It’s more cost-effective to keep them catching mice and raising pigs and sheep.”
“Why didn’t you come to two million? It’s a pity, it seems that we are not good enough in their eyes!”
Lancelot was delighted to see the soldiers in high spirits.
“Then go!”
His 10,000-strong army began to be dispatched.
The scouts were dispatched first, and the soldiers with the mind link planned the route for them.
The enemy advanced along the Rhodes River, the largest river in the kingdom, which played a major role in both shipping and irrigation.
Without this river, it would be impossible for 200,000 people to march in. Just fetching water every day would kill them.
If Lancelot knew that there were a group of kingdoms in the east, 600,000 people, or 400,000 people could be recruited at one time, he would definitely be shocked.
What a hard-working farmer, what a strict military law, what a superb commander, what a formidable counselor, to be able to organize the march of such a large number of people.
Three days later, his scouts had made contact with enemy outposts.
And his main force is still five days away from the enemy.
Through the scouts’ reconnaissance, spiritual link, and sand table skills, he and a few advisors have drawn out the enemy’s advance route and campsites.
“The enemy’s army of 200,000 people came from south to north and divided into east and west along the river bank to connect with each other.” Counselor A pointed to the map and said.
“They communicated back and forth through the fleet. The advantage of this is that when we attack one way, they can send a fleet on the other way. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com from upstream and downstream, outflanking us, making us fall into logistical disconnection the situation.” Counselor B said.
“No matter how good a poker player is, they can’t go without food for three days. Once the logistics is cut off, we will be finished.” Counselor A said.
“They want us to divide our troops, but we can’t.” Lancelot shook his head.
“We can attack one way first, pretend to be defeated, lure that way away from the river bank, defeat them, and then cross the river to defeat the other way.” Counselor A said.
“That’s too slow. To know when the magic tide will come, we should take the boat down the river, use the remote card players, burn their fleet, and cut them directly in two. There is no fleet. , they will have no supplies, the 200,000 army will collapse in two days, and we can kill them like chasing rabbits.” Counselor B gave a completely different approach.
One safe, one adventurous.
One is low efficiency and one is high efficiency.
How should Lancelot choose?
