After having more than a hundred men under his command, Chen Cheng realized the benefits of leading troops. It was not that leading troops was majestic, but that the soldiers under his command contributed a lot of experience points to him every day.
"Mount and Blade" has the skill "Domination". The higher the level, the higher the reputation value in this world, and the higher the upper limit of troops. The upper limit of troops mentioned here refers to those who can enjoy the halo of the system.
The number of people, not the actual number of troops in reality. His "control" value is now zero, his reputation value is fifteen, and his aura can only cover thirty-four people.
Most of these thirty-four people are displayed in the system as "Han Army Recruiting Infantry", "Han Army Recruiting Crossbowmen", "Han Army Recruiting Archers", "Han Army Recruiting Spearmen" and "Han Army Recruiting Cavalry". There are only two martial arts
Chaofan removed the word "recruitment", and the note in the system was "Han Army Infantry".
These people can bring him more than thirty experience points every day. Although compared to the tens of thousands of experience points now required for each level up, and the more experience points required for each subsequent upgrade, more than thirty
A little experience is nothing, but that’s not how it works. More than thirty points a day, that’s more than ten thousand points a year. You don’t have to do anything, you can earn experience just by lying down. Is there anything better than this?
matter?
If he was asked to hack people, killing one would only cost 10 or 20 experience points. The stronger ones would gain 30 or 40 experience points. If he had 10,000 experience points, he would have to keep hacking for a whole day. To be honest, he didn't.
Becoming a murderer is considered a high level of quality.
After Chen Cheng calculated this, he suddenly felt as if he had lost hundreds of thousands. He murmured to himself: If I had known better, I would have upgraded to "Charisma". I knew that relying on your face to make a living is more reliable than relying on your muscles.
What a spectrum!
Wei Ran, the young man who had competed with him in shooting skills before, asked from the side: "What are the orders from the commander?"
Chen Cheng came back to his senses, smiled casually, and said, "It's okay."
He was already luckier than many people. If he was greedy again, he would be struck by lightning. He calmed down, drew a few strokes on the cloth with a carbon strip, pointed to the distance, and said: "Tomorrow we will remove the trees here.
All chopped down."
Wei Ran said in confusion: "The firewood in the camp is enough for ten days and a half, so why bother cutting down trees?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "This is too close to the camp. If there are thieves hiding here..."
He made a gesture and said: "...It would be very troublesome to use strong crossbows to shoot into the camp, or to ambush the crossbowmen in the woods to lure our army into battle."
Wei Ran opened his mouth wide, as if listening to a book from heaven. He widened his eyes and asked, "But how could the thief shoot an arrow here? There are plains in front and behind. If he is discovered, isn't he dead?"
"What if he came on horseback?"
Wei Ran said unconvinced: "If we had come here on horseback, we would have seen it from the enemy tower."
"What if he comes at night?"
"It's hard to see clearly at night. Who does he want to shoot? It's hard to escape at night."
While the two were talking nonsense, Tian Yu's soldiers came to deliver the order, "The captain orders you to go to the warehouse to collect weapons and armor."
Chen Cheng looked serious and said: "No!"
Then he said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you eat some pancakes? The ones with meat are just baked and they are so fragrant."
The soldier who delivered the order swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands again, and said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Chen Cheng said to Wei Ran: "Go get two cakes for this brother and pick the bigger one."
Wei Ran brought two biscuits over and stuffed them into the hands of the messenger without any explanation. The man smiled with a smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly. While stuffing the biscuits into his arms, he whispered: "This time the county sent
Sixty pieces of armor have come over. If Chief Chen is interested, he should hurry up. If he goes late, I'm afraid he will be distracted."
There are many types of armor of the Han army, among which iron armor has the best protective capabilities and is also the most expensive. After Chen Cheng got the news, he immediately brought more than 20 people with him, drove two carts, and marched in a mighty way.
Went to the Central Military Department. When the officer in charge of military supplies saw so many people, he was surprised and said: "I just want to get some spears, bows and arrows. Why are you here with so many people?"
Chen Cheng took out two pieces of dried meat and said, "I heard that the county sent sixty sets of armor..."
The clerk took the dried meat, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Chief Chen is very well informed. If you want it, I will give you ten sets."
Chen Cheng said: "Ten sets are too few."
"Then how much do you want?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "Well, leave half for the captain, and you can give me thirty sets."
"Thirty sets?" the clerk said dumbfounded: "Do you know how much this set of armor costs? You just gave me two pieces of dried meat and you want to take half of it away? I'm not telling you, you are thinking too well, right?"
I’ll give you twenty sets at most.”
"Oh, twenty sets will be twenty sets." Chen Cheng drew a sign on the bamboo slip and said, "Thank you very much, brother. We will go fishing the day after tomorrow and leave a big one for you."
With the iron armor, Chen Cheng immediately threw the armor on his body to others and replaced it with new armor. The iron armor weighed about thirty kilograms and only had two parts: the breastplate and the shoulder pads, but its defensive power was amazing, even if it was
It is difficult to defeat a strong crossbow even from ten steps away. His strength is now as high as eighteen points, which is not inferior even to that of a sumo wrestler. He wears a thicker patch, so his movements are not affected.
That night, Tian Yu summoned several camp commanders in the army and informed them of Gongsun Zan's general order, "General Gongsun has an order. In ten days, the army will gather to attack the rebel Zhang Ju!"
After reading through the order, Tian Yu asked: "Do you have any questions?"
Chen Cheng was noncommittal about this. With plug-ins in hand, he was very good at fighting. Because he read a lot, he was no stranger to strategy and politics. However, he was not very proficient in the tactics of this era and was in the learning stage.
And he never likes to point fingers at things that he is unfamiliar with, so he is ready to listen to what others have to say first.
If he didn't say it, others would naturally say it. Xu Yan, the commander of the camp, was the first to say: "The soldiers have just started training and are not yet proficient in martial arts. How can they rush into battle? I think this is very inappropriate!"
Compared with the generally grumpy generals of this era, Tian Yu was much easier to talk to, perhaps because he was still young. This was one of the reasons why his subordinates dared to speak. He shook his head and said: "The imperial court has ordered wars several times.
, we don’t have time to train soldiers.”
Another commander, Zhang Chao, said: "In this case, we have no choice but to go to war."
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Tian Yu said: "We have insufficient training, but the thieves are all a mob. In this battle, Di Anger will win a complete victory, and you will all be promoted to high positions and return to your hometown with honor!"
Yes, there were millions of Yellow Turban thieves, but weren’t they wiped out by the officers and soldiers? What’s more, it was just a mere show of force?
After hearing this, everyone became energetic and said one after another: "In this case, we must rush over early to let the prefect know our bravery. In future battles, we must be the vanguard."
Tian Yu smiled and said: "General Gongsun has his own white horse Yi Cong as the vanguard. As long as we fulfill our duties, are we afraid that we will not get any military exploits?"
Seeing Chen Cheng standing next to him with a sinking face and saying nothing, he asked: "Chief Chen, you are the Central Guards. Do you have anything to say?"
Chen Cheng said: "I wonder how the supplies will be provided for this battle? Will General Gongsun send people to distribute them, or will we raise them ourselves? How long is the expected battle? It is summer, and the soldiers can still support themselves in thin clothes. If they are dragged on
In four to five months, the weather will get colder. It’s bitterly cold in the north, is there enough cold clothing in the state?”
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment. He had always been thinking about how to defeat the enemy in the field, but he did not think much about the issue of supplies. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Zhang Ju is arrogant and rebellious. When Master Wang arrives, he will definitely be
They are all gone. With General Gongsun’s martial prowess, he must have returned victorious before winter comes.”
Chen Cheng was not so easy to fool. He asked: "Now that Beiping and Liaoxi have been occupied by Zhang Ju, how can they be eliminated in a short time? Even if the enemy can be defeated, if the thieves are defeated and flee elsewhere, Gongsun
Will the general continue to pursue? If so, the war will drag on for a long time..."
After saying this, he stopped when he saw that Tian Yu's face looked ugly.
Tian Yu thought for a long time with a sullen face, then let out a long sigh, looked around at the people in the tent, and said, "What Chief Chen said today must not be spread out."
He asked Xu Yan, Zhang Chao and others to retreat, leaving Chen Cheng alone, and whispered to him: "General Gongsun is a strong man and does not like such words. Don't say these words to others in the future."
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I understand."
Tian Yu then said: "You'd better make some preparations. If the fight really takes that long, we can be prepared. If you have any ideas in the future, don't tell others, just come to me."
Chen Cheng knew that Tian Yu had good intentions, so he smiled and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to tell him."
"Our army has a total of 600 people. You go and prepare 600 sets..." Tian Yu thought for a while and then changed his words: "Prepare a thousand sets of clothes to keep out the cold."
Chen Cheng stretched out his right hand, put his thumb and middle finger together and twisted them. Tian Yu was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Give me money," Chen Cheng said confidently: "You can't just let me do things and not give me money, right? When I go shopping, don't I have to spend money?"
Tianmu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "It's not like you don't know the situation here. The soldiers don't even have military pay, they only have food and weapons. Where do you want me to get money for you? If I don't wait until the war is won, I'll find the general.
Want some rewards?"
Chen Cheng sighed and said: "The soldiers gather with pay, but they disperse when there is no food. Rewards will have to wait until I don't know when. Now that there is food, there is no need to worry about the soldiers fleeing, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and I can't do it without money."
I can’t change anything. How about going to the state to ask?”
Tian Yu shook his head and said: "Where can I get winter clothes in summer now? Even these weapons are hard to get."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Tian Yu finally lost his battle and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Chen Cheng said bitterly: "What can we do if we don't talk about it later?"
