But at this moment, the system voice suddenly sounded in Lu Ping's ears.
"System friendly reminder, your food is about to run out."
"What!"
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping was shocked and quickly opened the system panel to check.
Sure enough, there were only 300,000 tons of grain left in the warehouse.
Lu Ping looked at the daily consumption again.
Then, Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat.
You won't know until you see it.
Lu Ping's existing food can only sustain consumption for seven days.
Lu Ping suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake.
He was so busy recruiting soldiers that he neglected the consumption of food and fodder.
Under normal circumstances, this situation will not occur, and the food produced by the territory will usually be enough.
But Lu Ping is different. His troops have always been seriously overstaffed, so it is not surprising that this situation has occurred.
"Shit, what do I do now?"
Lu Ping slapped his forehead suddenly, then quickly stopped upgrading other buildings and turned his full attention to building farmland.
After using up all the resources, Lu Ping built 10,000 acres of farmland, reaching the upper limit of farmland.
But even so, the daily output is still negative compared to the daily consumption, and the food will still be consumed after twenty days.
Now, Lu Ping was completely panicked.
Without food, the soldiers will surely starve to death.
The soldiers are all dead, what’s the point of Lu Ping still playing!
Lu Ping currently has a total military force of 50,000, including 20,000 cavalry.
Lu Ping knew clearly that the 20,000 cavalrymen were the real big consumers, and the daily consumption of one cavalryman was five times that of an infantryman.
Calculated in this way, Lu Ping is equivalent to supporting 130,000 infantrymen, which is almost the same number as the troops of a tenth-level lord.
It would be strange if the food could be used to support the troops of a level 10 lord using the resources of a level 6 lord.
If a problem arises, we must find a way to solve it.
But Lu Ping thought about it and couldn't think of any good solution.
It is impossible to expect to trade food, as no lord in the battlefield of all nations will sell food to other countries.
It is unrealistic to expect Tang Qing to help. Tang Qing's military strength is definitely not less than Lu Ping's, and he probably doesn't have enough food.
If these two methods don't work, then there is only one way left, which is to reduce the military strength and dismiss some of the soldiers.
But Lu Ping was reluctant to cut the number of soldiers.
Especially the cavalry, they are all weapons of war and an important factor in winning the war.
Under normal circumstances, each lord can only have one heavy cavalry battalion.
Level 10 Heavy Cavalry Battalion, the recruitment limit is 12,000.
Once the number is really reduced, it will be extremely difficult for Lu Ping to gather 20,000 heavy cavalry.
But what if there is no cut?
Conquer other lords and use war to support war?
Complete more tasks?
Lu Ping thought about it and could only think of these two ways.
Lu Ping didn't ask for much, just enough food to keep him going until he reached level seven.
After level seven, the system will open up village functions and food production will increase greatly.
Coupled with Lu Ping's innate skills, the grain production will double, and they can almost survive this crisis.
But it is not easy to upgrade a level 7 town, and Lu Ping has no idea how long it will take.
But no matter what, Lu Ping had no other way to go.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ping decided to go out on the expedition tomorrow, striving to capture the remaining three lords as quickly as possible.
After dealing with them, as long as Lu Ping builds the sixth-level city wall and the lord's altar, he can start the sixth-level challenge mission.
After defeating three level six lords and completing the level six challenge mission, you will surely gain a lot of resources.
In this way, at least Lu Ping can hold on for a while longer.
In addition, completing the bandit suppression mission can also solve some problems.
Although the rewards for bandit suppression missions are few, Lu Ping will not complain no matter how little.
Lu Ping doesn't have to worry about the key task of suppressing the bandits. He just needs to randomly assign a few rubbish generals to do the job.
Speaking of military generals, is Lu Ping still short of them?
If this is not enough, then Lu Ping can only target several lords in the east and continue to fight to support the war.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ping immediately ordered the entire army to set out the next day.
…
next day
Lu Ping led the army out of the city.
This time, Lu Ping only brought 6,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
Except for 8,000 soldiers left to guard the city, the rest were all sent by Lu Ping to suppress bandits.
The anti-bandit army was divided into six routes, each with 2,500 men, led by six foreign military generals.
Lu Ping's territory is very large now, and there are many bandits, so he is not afraid of having no targets.
In this expedition, Lu Ping’s first target was a lord named Rex.
The reason why he was chosen as the first target was because he was closest to Lu Ping.
Rex is from Oceania and is a doctor in the real world.
Rex has a pretty good IQ. Ever since two nearby lords were killed one after another, he knew that a powerful enemy had appeared nearby.
Rex also immediately sent out a large number of scouts to conduct reconnaissance.
Soon, Rex discovered Lu Ping's city.
In order to ensure that Lu Ping's movements could be discovered at any time, Rexan stationed his troops near Lu Ping's city and closely monitored Lu Ping's every move.
When Lu Ping set out on this expedition, the army had not gone far when Rex received news from the scouts ahead.
Upon hearing the news, it would be a lie for Rex to say he wasn't nervous.
But at the same time, Rex is also very confident in himself.
He was a sixth-level lord with 15,000 soldiers and seven generals under his command.
As long as he defends the city, he is still confident that he can win this battle.
But Rex never expected that Lu Ping's strength was far stronger than he imagined.
Two days later, Lu Ping arrived with his army.
On the city wall, looking at the dark mass of enemy troops outside the city, Rex suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, before Rex could think about it, Lu Ping had already given the order to attack.
In an instant, the earth shook violently, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the city shouting.
"Quick, release the arrow."
"Kill! Kill the enemy!"
Facing the enemy's attack, Rexton shouted angrily and ordered the archers to shoot.
Whoosh whoosh...
In an instant, dense arrows fell and the soldiers under the city fell down.
Lu Ping looked ahead with a calm expression.
Lu Ping didn't care about the minor casualties at all. There is always death in war.
Sure enough, after three rounds of arrow rain, the attacking army rushed to the city.
Immediately afterwards, the archers, led by Huang Zhong, launched a counterattack and suppressed the city walls.
Dozens of siege ladders were also quickly erected.
"Soldiers, follow me."
Lu Bu shouted, climbed the ladder first, and rushed towards the city wall.
The rest of the generals were not to be outdone and climbed up the ladders one after another.
Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall immediately launched a counterattack.
But what kind of man was Lu Bu? He was so strong that he could move mountains and his courage was unparalleled. He climbed up the city wall in just a few steps.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji slashed like lightning, and the defenders on the city were killed instantly.
Seeing this, Rex, who was watching the battle, cursed him as a waste and quickly ordered his generals to go and fight Lu Bu.
