Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 165: Recruiting tier 6 bow riders
Chutian exchanged a blueprint for the construction of a sixth-level cavalry battalion after the end of the first national war. At this time, the sixth-level cavalry battalion had been constructed.
At present, Xiacheng has six levels of infantry battalion, archer battalion, and cavalry battalion, which can recruit three types of arms from level one to level six. As long as there are historical military generals, you can also recruit special troops of the first to sixth orders except the navy.
Chutian already had Xiliu Battalion and Shesheng Battalion, but no special cavalry, so he brought Hua Mulan, Li Guang, and Xue Rengui to the sixth-level cavalry battalion to consider recruiting troops for them.
The sixth-level cavalry battalion was built outside the city and covered a large area.
The regular arms of the cavalry battalion are first-order light cavalry, second-order elite light cavalry, third-order Xuzhou light cavalry, and fourth-order Xuzhou heavy cavalry.
During the national war, Chutian noticed that the lords of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou had generally recruited third-tier cavalry.
The stats of Xuzhou light cavalry are lower than those of Beiguan Sanzhou cavalry.
Because Chutian has Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Li Guang, three special cavalry can be recruited.
Li Guang's special arms are the fifth-order Western Han frontier cavalry archers, with a maximum number of 4,000.
Xue Rengui's special unit is the sixth-order Tang Dynasty elite cavalry archers, with a maximum number of 5,000.
Hua Mulan's special unit is the sixth-tier Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scout, with a maximum number of 10,000.
The upper limit of the special arms of the three generals is 19,000. If their special arms are full, then 19,000 cavalry is enough to run across Xuzhou and be invincible on the plains.
But Chutian can't afford it at all...
It is still in the early stage of "Lord", each city has not developed to the later stage, and the number of soldiers that can be supported is limited.
Therefore, in the early stage, the governors of each state could not have one million troops. In the later stage, after the development of various towns, it is possible to have thousands of good generals and one million soldiers.
In the early stage, Chutian could not get 19,000 excellent war horses, even if they went bankrupt, they could not buy them.
Under the premise of limited resources, Chutian can only compare three special cavalry to see which one is more cost-effective.
First of all, Li Guang's Western Han border cavalry archers were elite cavalry soldiers at the border gates of the Western Han Dynasty. They were good at cavalry and archery.
[arms]: Western Han border cavalry archers
[Rank]: fifth-order cavalry/archer
[Attack Power]: 18 [Defense Power]: 7 [Speed]: 23
[Skills]: Intermediate Scouting, Super Riding Archery, Intermediate Galloping (for breaking the formation), Intermediate Long Drive (for rushing), Advanced Arrow Shower, Hornbow (when using bows and arrows, bow and arrow damage +5%, hit rate +5%)
[Characteristics]: Forest dark grass frightens the wind, general night draws the bow (when Li Guang is the main general, bow and arrow damage +10%, hit rate +5%)
[Military pay]: 6 taels/month
[Required equipment]: Gold horn bow, Gold cavalry horse
[Training period]: 2 months
[Maximum quantity]: 4,000
Chu Tian saw that Li Guang's exclusive cavalry requirements were very high, but the conditions were also very harsh.
A gold-level horn bow and a gold-level warhorse cost about 80-120 taels of silver.
To recruit a cavalry archer, one hundred taels of silver is required to provide equipment, and after spending 10,000 taels of silver, only 100 fifth-order cavalry can be recruited.
Chu Tian looked at Xue Rengui's elite cavalry archers from the Tang Dynasty again.
[arms]: Tang Dynasty elite cavalry archers
[Rank]: Sixth-order cavalry/archer
[Attack Power]: 21 [Defense Power]: 9 [Speed]: 23
[Skills]: Intermediate Scouting, Super Horse and Shooter, Intermediate Gallop, Intermediate Long Drive, Advanced Armor Breaker, Hornbow
[Characteristics]: The general has three arrows to set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man Changge enters the Han Pass (when Xue Rengui is the main general, the bow and arrow damage +15%)
[Military pay]: 8 taels/month
[Required equipment]: Gold horn bow, Gold cavalry horse
[Training period]: 2 months
[Maximum quantity]: 5,000
Xue Rengui's cavalry needs the same equipment as Li Guang, only one hundred taels of silver for equipment and war horses, as well as heavy monthly military salaries and horse-raising expenses.
Chutian understands the feeling of coolness in summer.
Where is this recruiting troops, it is clearly burning money.
The cavalry of Li Guang and Xue Rengui are still light cavalry. If it is a special heavy cavalry, the requirements for equipment and horses are higher, and the cost is also higher!
Li Shimin's Xuanjia army was given to Chutian, but Chutian couldn't afford it. After a month, he would mutiny because he couldn't pay the army salaries.
If you want to raise an elite cavalry, there are only two ways - to develop your own territory, enrich the population, and increase output. The second way is to occupy other people's territory, especially the production of horses, to reduce the cost of obtaining high-quality war horses, thereby reducing the cost of recruiting cavalry.
Finally, the Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scout from Hua Mulan.
Unlike Li Guang and Xue Rengui's cavalry archers, Hua Mulan's cavalry are light cavalry for reconnaissance and surprise attacks.
[Army]: Iron Eagle Scout
[Rank]: Sixth-order cavalry
[Attack Power]: 18 [Defense Power]: 7 [Speed]: 25
[Skills]: Special reconnaissance, advanced cavalry, advanced gallop, super long drive, war eagle (every hundred cavalry, there is a war eagle, which can be used for reconnaissance and contact with other troops)
[Characteristics]: Thousands of miles to the military plane, close to the mountain and flying (when Mulan is the main general, the forced march speed +10%)
[Military pay]: 8 taels/month
[Required equipment]: Gold-level light cavalry horse
[Training period]: 2 months
[Maximum quantity]: 10,000
Hua Mulan's iron eagle scouts have slightly simpler recruitment conditions. They don't need good weapons. As long as they have a good horse, they can form an army.
Of course, it is necessary to equip weapons to enhance combat effectiveness. It's just that there is no need to specify a gold-level weapon.
Hua Mulan's cavalry damage is not as good as Li Guang's fifth-order cavalry archers. But Mulan's cavalry has the fastest speed so far!
Hua Mulan's cavalry can drive straight in, as if entering a no-man's land.
Marching speed is very important for cavalry. If the opponent can't catch up with you, you have the initiative.
Iron Eagle Scout sacrifices damage in exchange for speed.
"How many war horses are there in our lord's mansion, and what is the quality?"
Chu Tian asked Fang Xuanling about the stock of war horses.
Chutian captured two counties, defeated the anti-Chutian alliance coalition and the Taishan army, and captured many horses.
In order to use the fire horse formation, Xia Xia Liang bought all the horses from the horse dealer at all costs. After defeating the Taishan thief Wu Dun, there were still many good horses left.
Fang Xuanling said casually: "There are a total of 4,213 war horses, including 412 gold-level war horses, 1,155 silver-level war horses, and the rest are ordinary war horses. The superior Turkic war horses of the lord and generals are not included." /
"We still have quite a few gold-level warhorses, no..."
Chu Tian realized that there were 412 gold-level warhorses, but more than 200 of them were already in use by cavalry - Xuzhou heavy cavalry and Goguryeo heavy cavalry.
Only gold rank and above heavy cavalry horses can carry the weight of horse armor and soldier armor.
In other words, the gold-level warhorses currently owned by Chutian can only recruit more than 100 high-level cavalry at most.
After all, Chutian is still poor.
Li Guang and Xue Rengui's cavalry archers are good at cavalry and archery, and Hua Mulan's light cavalry is good at reconnaissance and surprise attack. No matter which kind of cavalry, Chu Tian wants it.
Fang Xuanling offered a suggestion: "Go to Miss Xia, she should be able to find a way to raise money to buy a gold-level warhorse."
Chutian can't deny.
Anyway, if you're short of money, just go to her.
The question is who to recruit the cavalry for first.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and different cavalry have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Xue Rengui's cavalry archers are good at breaking armor, while Li Guang's cavalry is terrifying. Xue Rengui's cavalry archers seem to be the superior substitutes for Li Guang's cavalry archers, but they are paid 22 taels more every month.
"First recruit 100 Iron Eagle Scouts for Mulan."
After thinking about it again and again, Chutian decided to recruit a small team of cavalry for Hua Mulan first. After all, he was the first general of the cavalry department. It would be too chilling to recruit cavalry for Hua Mulan.
Hua Mulan's cavalry also has the ability "war eagle". Every hundred cavalry has a war eagle, which can be used for reconnaissance.
It seems that this ability is not as good as Li Guang and Xue Rengui's cavalry ability "horn bow", but it should be very practical.
Chutian prefers sneak attacks to enemies than head-to-head battles.
Soldiers are tricksters.
So the lord's palace began to recruit civilians suitable for high-level cavalry in the territory, recruiting a total of 100 people.
One hundred gold steeds were brought to the sixth cavalry battalion.
Two months later, Xiacheng will have its first special cavalry, the Northern Wei Iron Eagle Scouts.
Chutian was not satisfied yet, so he had the cheek to ask Xia Tianliang to help him raise gold and silver to buy fine war horses.
"Yes."
Unexpectedly, the summer coolness was promised.
"We can set up banks in each town in the two counties, absorb all the gold and silver from civilians and players, and sell a few more lands. As long as you can capture a few more counties within a year, the finances will not collapse Otherwise, the war horses you bought will be sold."
"How many good horses can I buy?"
"The price of a gold-level warhorse is generally around 80 taels of silver. If you find a horse dealer to buy warhorses on a large scale, you can lower the price. I think even if you buy 400 gold-class warhorses, the finances should be able to support it."
"400 horses..."
Chutian did not expect the finances to squeeze out the money to buy horses.
The extra war horses can be used as cavalry for Li Guang or Xue Rengui.
"The cavalry will definitely burn money. As long as the momentum of expansion is maintained, there will be no financial problems."
After Xia Liang defeated the coalition forces in Chutian, his confidence in him increased, and he began to use a proactive fiscal policy, even if the monthly budget deficit was within the allowable range.
Financial overdrafts are dangerous and the rewards are great. You can spare no effort to support Chutian to recruit troops and buy horses, provided that Chutian cannot be defeated many times.
Trying to get funds to buy 400 horses, Chu Tian plans to recruit 200 cavalry archers each for Li Guang and Xue Rengui.
"2,000 Shesheng Battalion, 2,000 Xiliu Battalion, 100 Iron Eagle Scouts, 200 Western Han Frontier Archers, and 200 Tang Dynasty Elite Archers. A total of 4,500 high-level troops."
"There are 16,000 low-level infantry archers, 4,000 low-level light cavalry, and 230 heavy cavalry. There is also a navy battalion."
Chutian finally decided on the formation of the army.
Zhou Yafu, stationed in Yangdu City, has 2000 Xiliu Battalion, 7500 infantry archers, and 500 light cavalry.
The Xueyue stationed in Xueyue Town has 4500 infantry archers and 500 light cavalry.
The rest of the soldiers and horses are stationed in Xiacheng, with 2000 Shesheng Battalion, 4000 infantry archers, 3000 light cavalry, 500 high-level cavalry, 230 heavy cavalry, and the navy battalion.
The three armies are horns of each other. Once one army is attacked, the other two armies immediately counterattack.
As for Langya City, Chutian arranged for Liu Sandao to lead 4,000 infantry archers to garrison, which was included in the establishment of Xiacheng.
Once the establishment is finalized, it will take two months for the recruited high-level cavalry to come out.
It just so happens that Chutian needs time to digest the territory of the two counties.
Two counties are nothing to the entire Eastern Han region, but for Chutian, which only had a population of 200,000 not long ago, he swallowed four or five times the land in one go, and if he didn't digest it, many problems would remain.
Zhou Yafu was attacking villages and towns in Yangdu County that had not yet surrendered, while Li Guang and Hua Mulan were training troops in Xiacheng.
Chu Tian wanted to train Xue Rengui, so from time to time he ordered him to lead a team to surround and suppress nearby bandits.
Everything was calm in Xiacheng, and Du Fu's Thatched Cottage was still lively. Du Fu alone brought more than 1,000 taels of silver to Chutian.
In addition, Du Fu's Thatched Cottage also gathered a group of literati and poets, who recited poems all day long. This group of literati poets includes both civilians and some players.
Chutian was not expecting such a phenomenon.
Xiacheng's cultural prosperity has inadvertently increased, driving economic development, talent flow, absorbing refugees, and even increasing land prices.
In the past, Chutian didn't care much about cultural prosperity, but now, cultural prosperity is very important for population growth.
If Xiacheng wants to develop into a giant city with a population of one million and ten million people, its cultural prosperity cannot be low.
"Continue to encourage fertility, we need population, a large number of people. From now on, players are allowed to register marriages in my territory and count them into household registration."
Chutian announced a special decree - allowing players to integrate into his territory like commoners, and to marry freely.
This decree caused a huge sensation in Langya and even in Xuzhou!
This means that players trapped in Lords begin to formally integrate into the world.
Chutian is integrating civilians and players ~IndoMTL.com~ with equal treatment, and he intends to establish an independent power.
His decree is also attracting more people into his territory.
In order to increase the population and tax revenue, Chutian has done everything possible.
Chutian must think about the future.
The population of Xiacheng is quite large, but the young labor force was sacrificed in the war. Chutian must ensure that there will be enough labor force to farm and wage war within ten, twenty or even thirty years.
The Yihe Plain has a lot of open space, and the current population is not enough to realize the potential of the plain.
Along the Yi River in Yangdu County, several light cavalry soldiers sent by Zhou Yafu patrolled the river.
On the other side of the river is the territory of Juxian. There are several forces in Juxian. After Wu Sangui brought 30,000 Taishan troops to Juxian, the current strength of Juxian may be more than 50,000. Therefore, Zhou Yafu, according to Chutian's arrangement, specially sent cavalry to patrol the river.
Once the forces in Ju County want to attack Yangdu County, he can attack halfway and win more with less.
A wooden boat rowed in the direction of Yangdu County, attracting the attention of the patrolling light cavalry.
"Who?"
The light cavalry took off the hornbow and aimed it at the wooden boat.
A general who was hit by an arrow on the wooden boat gasped and said with difficulty: "I'm Xu Sheng, and I want to ask to see your lord..."
