Cheng Dalei looked at the brand new system interface. After upgrading from a cottage to a city and turning on the siege mode, the system interface has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now, a miniature model of Toad City appeared in his mind, which contained various buildings of Toad City, such as barracks, mines, craftsmen's workshops... When Cheng Dalei focused on it, he could see the details of each building.
Details.
Cheng Dalei suddenly discovered that the system skills that he thought had disappeared could not be said to have completely disappeared. For example, in the medical hall, the recovery rate of recuperating in the medical hall was increased, which was equivalent to replacing the healing skills. The strength of the city wall could quickly recover after being damaged.
Restoration, this is equivalent to the original solid defense function.
The current Toad City is only a primary city. Compared with the cottage, it can certainly be said to have stronger troops, but for a city, it is only in its initial stage.
The current Toad City has a population of 100,000, with about 30,000 combatants, and the rest are logistics and civilians. The village has become self-sufficient. The weather has been good in the past two years, and Toad City's granary is full. And the caravans that come and go here every year,
It can also bring good tax revenue to Toad City.
Now Cheng Dalei is fully worthy of the title of Lord of Qinchuan. In the past, if someone attacked Toad City, Cheng Dalei could take a bite of the opponent's flesh even if he died. In fact, it was still a desperado's style of play. But now Toad City has asked for someone.
There are people who need food. To put it bluntly, if any force in the empire comes to attack Toad City, Cheng Dalei is confident that he can protect himself. Of course, it is not invincible yet.
At least, Cheng Dalei is very satisfied with the current development pace of Shanzhai.
Cheng Dalei opened the system store. The products originally sold in the system store were: Leather Armor, Qingling Powder, Combo Guns, and Gunpowder. As the cottage upgraded, the system store naturally had new products for sale.
Black Mane Horse: An excellent war horse, priced at 200,000 fear points, with excellent endurance, suitable for long-distance marches.
War horses are an extremely important strategic resource in this era. Although Qinchuan Pass borders the Rong people, it is the horse-producing area of the empire. Cheng Dalei also deliberately opened up Luoyuzhai as a horse farm to train cavalry. But even so, Toad City
In an army of 30,000 people, the number of cavalry was only 3,000.
This cavalry team, commanded by Zhao Zilong, is the Dragon Army of Toad City. It is also the smallest troop in Toad City. But there is no doubt that they are the team with the strongest combat effectiveness in Toad City and the one that consumes the most resources.
.
After all, raising a horse is much more expensive than raising a soldier.
Cheng Dalei really wanted to buy a black-maned horse to see the quality of the war horses provided by the system. But he went in to take a look, left a store fee, and left in despair.
It's been a long time since he fought a war. With constant consumption, Cheng Dalei's current fear points are running low. He's not yet luxurious enough to spend 200,000 fear points on a black-maned horse.
Currently, the products sold in the system store can be imitated by the Combo Copycat, and the Gunpowder Copycat can also produce them themselves. The advancement of gunpowder formulas is also thanks to the alchemist He-Man.
Alchemist Seaman, a firm believer in the goddess of life, although he suffered a lot of injuries in the pursuit of truth. But he still knows a lot about the properties of various substances. With his arrival, the formula of gunpowder
It has been improved and is now no weaker than the one purchased from the system store.
Cheng Dalei sent someone to call Liu Bei and Qin Man over, and handed the battle flag rewarded by the system to Liu Bei, who would distribute it to his commanders. This battle flag comes with system skills, which can improve one's own morale and destroy the enemy's battle.
will.
Afterwards, Cheng Dalei left Qin Man behind.
The Manzi army led by Qin Man numbered about five thousand in number. The style of the army was the same as that of Qin Man, simple and unpretentious, but direct and ruthless.
Of course, these are Qin Man's strengths, but Qin Man's shortcoming is... his brain doesn't seem to be particularly easy to use.
There is nothing wrong with him in charging into battle, but in terms of specific arrangements for combat, there is a big gap between him and Guan, Zhang and Zhao, not even Gao Feibao.
This can only be said to be due to differences in personal talents. Maybe Qin Man didn't open the talent tree in this area at all.
Cheng Dalei left Qin Man behind because he planned to teach Qin Man the Plum Blossom Formation and train him with the Man Zi Army so that he could become familiar with the fighting methods of the Plum Blossom Formation.
There are still two things left as rewards from the system, one is the Plum Blossom Formation, and the other is to improve the level of anyone below Peerless. The Plum Blossom Formation Cheng Dalei is going to hand over to Qin Man. His own skill is the Plum Blossom Spear, so it seems that it is matching.
As for whose level to upgrade? Cheng Dalei plans to use it on Fan Lihua. After all, good things are reserved for his... woman.
The Plum Blossom Formation is not complicated. A group of ten people cooperate with each other and can be together or separated at any time. Of course, this requires a very high level of tacit understanding.
Qin Man silently digested Cheng Dalei's words and said: "The key lies in cooperation, which also lies in the commander. The key to this formation lies in commanding on the spot. To be able to distinguish the situation, when to join and when to separate, we must make correct judgments.
"
Cheng Dalei looked at Qin Man speechlessly. Qin Man was not stupid. He could tell the clues about martial arts at a glance. He could even be called an expert in this kind of confrontation between two armies. But that was all.
He knew almost nothing about arranging troops and attacking with reality or falsely.
Cheng Dalei had to admit the fact that Qin Man had generals but no handsome men.
Qin Man noticed the way Cheng Dalei looked at him, paused and said, "Master, what I said was wrong."
"Yes, there is nothing wrong." Cheng Dalei looked at Qin Man and said, "Brother Qin, how are you going to survive in the future?"
Qin Man scratched his head and smiled naively. Although everyone in the village regarded Cheng Dalei as the leader, Cheng Dalei still called Qin Man this way when there was no one around.
"Anyway, with you here, I can't do anything wrong. I know I'm stupid and can't figure out some things. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Cheng Dalei was silent, they all came from the shabby village in Qingniu Mountain. Now their status has increased, but their courage has also increased, and they will also face greater dangers in the future.
Cheng Dalei suddenly sat up straight and said, "Brother Qin, do you know where all my skills come from?"
"Don't outsiders all say that the gods impart their skills in dreams? As for me, I don't really believe it. I always feel that the theory of ghosts and gods cannot be taken seriously."
"No, the rumors are not false." Cheng Dalei said firmly: "All my skills were indeed taught by the immortal in my dream. Because of the immortal's secret blessing, I was able to have a smooth journey and build such a big business."
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath: "I had another dream last night, and the immortal mentioned you to me."
"Ah!" Qin Man's eyes lit up: "The Immortal still knows about me?"
