The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 Which Bronze Casting is Stronger
Stocking cannot last long, and how many resources you can get every day is completely random.Even if 3 more people have collected resources, the things collected are very limited due to lack of purpose.

The key is that places like quarries and iron mines can only support dozens or even hundreds of people to mine at the same time. There is no point in having too many people, and the cost will increase a lot, which is not cost-effective.Purely opening up wasteland and farming, there is no way to get a harvest in the short term.

Hunting and gathering are relatively easy, so the speed of food improvement is quite fast. The most cheating thing is gold, which has almost no improvement.

"Jiaozhi County can only accommodate so many people in the short term!" Shi Hui looked at the resource interface and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Maybe it will be further developed next year, and there will be a new harvest, so it may be able to further accommodate the new population.However, this involves a lot of things, such as the expansion of the county seat, such as the resettlement of new residents, etc.

While Shi Hui was thinking about these things, the stables and shooting range were being built one after another. He can still afford 400 units of wood and 100 units of stone.The key is that without these two buildings, cavalry and archers cannot be recruited.

After the stables were built, Shi Hui almost planned to buy a horse to see.Then I thought about it again, what kind of horse should I buy in the middle of the night?Even if you buy it, where do you put it, in the bedroom? !
The curiosity in my heart can only be temporarily put down, but the training of soldiers is urgent.He really wanted to know the difference in combat effectiveness between soldiers trained by the system and real soldiers.

I planned to recruit 700 spearmen, but then I thought it was unnecessary, so I recruited [-] spearmen.They didn't recruit archers or cavalry, which usually take a long time to train, so it's hard to explain to Shi Xie.

"Father, I can train one archer in one minute, and it took me two hours to train these three hundred archers!" Shi Hui felt that if he really dared to tell Shi Xie like this, then he would definitely be sad.

After staying in the military camp for so long, he actually has some ideas.It takes about three months of training to train a qualified archer, so that he can keep shooting.To train a good archer, there is no one year, and it is impossible to practice shooting continuously.The cavalry simply said that it took a long time to train to sit firmly on horseback and then wield weapons to fight.

Then there is the cooperation between the teams, how to obey orders, how to change the formation... It only takes one to three months for the training of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers to become a qualified soldier.After half a year to one year of training, one can become an elite.At least spearmen and sword and shield soldiers are easier to explain than archers and cavalry.

The 300 sword shield soldiers are not trained in one go, but recruited one after another at a rate of 50 seconds per person.Not long after, the first sword and shield soldier was recruited, and the civilian population was reduced by one. In other words, the cost of recruiting a sword and shield soldier was actually 20 units of food and 2 units of iron ore.

Thankfully, civilian recruitment doesn't take time, just resources.

"Before dawn, all the recruitment should be completed!" Shi Hui didn't bother to pay attention, seeing that it was getting late, he simply ordered the maid to change his clothes, and then went to bed to rest.The south also has its disadvantages, that is, there is no need for people to warm the bed, which makes it less fun.

Maybe it was because he was really tired, he slept soundly, and he didn't have anyone to sleep with him, so there is no such thing as going out tomorrow and looking for a woman tonight.It's not an island country that left offspring in advance in order to avoid death in battle.

"Huh? The recruitment has been completed!" Shi Hui looked at the system interface, and the 300 sword shield soldiers had indeed been recruited.

In contrast, the 30000 civilians reserved in the system space also dropped to 29700.Each soldier needs to consume one civilian.Shi Hui couldn't help being a little curious. According to the ratio of civilians to men and women is 7:3, if there are a few female soldiers among the 300 people, what should I say then?

"Master, are you awake?" The maid who was on duty at night obviously noticed that Shi Hui had woken up, so she immediately came to serve him.Immediately, she greeted outside the door, and after a while Xiaoyao brought another maidservant, who brought a washbasin and towel for washing, and a box of tooth powder.

There seems to be double-faced needles smashed into the tooth powder, and there is also a branch toothbrush, which is obviously a one-time item, but it is very exquisitely made.The fly in the ointment was that he had to do the washing himself, which was also ordered by Shi Xie.

"Starting today, I will go out with the army. You are at home and wait carefully!" Shi Hui looked at the three women and said slowly.

"Master, come back safely!" The faces of the three women were full of concern, not only because Shi Hui was their backbone.The point is that they have already followed Shi Hui, if something happens to Shi Hui, then they will not be wanted.

If he is unlucky, Shi Xie may kill them and come to be buried with Shi Hui, which is euphemistically called 'Go down and serve him'.The sacrificial burial system was somewhat restrained after the Qin Dynasty, but the rich and noble families still retained some of this custom.In some biographies, there are even descriptions such as "sacrifice for love", which can be regarded as an extension of the sacrificial burial system.

The three daughters are still in their prime, so naturally they don't want to die so soon.For Shi Hui's expedition this time, the three of them are probably the ones who are most worried about.

Leaving the mansion, Shi Hui went out of the city gate and on his way to the barracks, he directly recruited three hundred shield soldiers.What surprised him was that 300 people suddenly appeared on the flat ground with the bang of 'biu'.When they were actually summoned, they walked out slowly from a hidden place, and then gathered in front of him, forming a square formation.

"That's pretty good, at least it won't look so obtrusive when summoned in front of other people!" Shi Hui nodded, and it's good to talk about it, if you really want to play this trick in front of other people , must scare others to death.

"They're all men? Could it be that the system defaults that only men can enter the barracks?" Shi Hui took a closer look and confirmed that there was no woman, and he was actually somewhat relieved.

A mixed team of men and women does not conform to the rules no matter what, even if they are very good.

"Arrangement, come with me!" Shi Hui didn't intend to delve into the problem of men and women for the time being, so he shouted and continued to move forward.The three hundred shield soldiers behind him also followed after hearing the words.

"Speaking of which, do you have a corps leader, a special leader, a team leader and a general?" Shi Hui suddenly remembered something and asked back.

Calculated according to the scale of 300 people, five people are a team, ten people are a team, 50 people are a team, and 100 people are a village. With 300 people, it is said that there should be three generals, six team leaders, thirty superintendents, and sixty corps leaders.

"It has not been set, please set it up, or appoint and remove it!" Unexpectedly, they replied in unison.

"In this way, you can choose the corps chief and the special chief by yourself! I will arrange for the team leader and general!" Shi Hui thought for a while, and at the same time, he was also testing their intelligence.After all, this is not a game, he can't give orders all the time.

"Yes!" The 300 people replied in unison, and then they actually elected [-] corporal leaders and [-] special leaders from each other.

On this point, Shi Hui can be sure that these beings recruited by the system are not a pair of data at all, but living people.However, where they came from and how they were recruited by the system is a mystery in itself.

Two quarters of an hour later, Shi Hui entered the barracks with three hundred shield soldiers, which naturally attracted Shi Wu's attention.

"San'er, where are there so many soldiers? Are they still using bronze weapons?" Shi Wu came to Shi Hui and asked solemnly. The key point was that he was even more surprised when he saw the weapons of these soldiers.

Iron weapons have matured in this era, but relatively speaking, bronze weapons are actually quite hard.It's just that bronze weapons are very expensive, so if you can use iron weapons, you won't use bronze weapons.

"They are my personal guards, I recruited them recently! They were originally used as surprise soldiers, but this time the enemies we have to face are a bit stronger, so we have to pull them out!" Shi Hui casually made up a lie.

Yang Xiong on the side smiled at the moment, and just now, Shi Hui scratched his thigh again.Cen Xi didn't know why, so he elbowed Yang Xiong in doubt, but the latter still smiled and said nothing.

"Why use bronze weapons and armor?" Shi Wu didn't worry too much about the source of the guards.Instead, he cared more about these weapons. Bronze weapons were too expensive, and badges were too expensive.

"This is their own weapon..." Shi Hui felt that he couldn't make it up.

"My lord, our ancestors were craftsmen in the pre-Qin army, and they had excellent bronze weapons and armor casting techniques. We are not used to iron weapons, so we are not as used to bronze weapons!" One of the sword and shield soldiers stood up and waited for him. After finishing speaking, the other sword and shield soldiers behind him also echoed.

"These bronze weapons and armor were really cast by you? You just don't know that bronze weapons are hard, but they are easily damaged after a few fights. One-on-one is fine. It is uneconomical to use in the army. !" Shi Wu suggested, there is actually another problem, that is, it is inconvenient to replace, the military is all made of iron weapons, if these bronze weapons and armor are damaged, it is not easy to replace them at all.

"There is no need to worry about this. Our weapons are not so hard. Even if they collide with ordinary iron objects for a long time, they will not be affected!" The leading sword and shield soldier replied.

"Uncle, why don't you just try it?" Shi Hui looked at Shi Wu. To be honest, he couldn't help it. At present, the blacksmith shop can only cast bronze wares, not iron wares.I don't know if it's okay to let them learn the casting technology in reality, and then go back to improve it. I'll think about it later.

"Forget it, bring your Ring Shou Dao and try it!" Shi Wu felt that they should also recognize the reality.

After hearing the words, the sword and shield soldier looked at Shi Hui, who nodded, and then handed over the ring head knife in his hand.Shi Wu didn't talk nonsense, and asked someone to bring an iron ring sword, and then directly let the two touch each other.

According to his thinking, even if the bronze sword is hard, at least there will be some damage, and it will be almost destroyed after two collisions.Unexpectedly, the result was beyond his expectation, the iron ring head knife was directly touched with a gap, while the bronze sword was intact, not even a bit worn out.

"How is this possible?" Shi Wu suddenly exclaimed, and then they collided again.As a result, the iron ring head knife was broken, but the bronze sword was still not worn at all.

"This, this, this..." Shiwu couldn't believe his eyes, and sent someone to bring over a few more.After chopping off five consecutive swords in this way, a little gap appeared on the bronze sword.

"What kind of bronze sword is this!?" Shi Wu was shocked by the result and exclaimed immediately.This is not an ordinary bronze sword at all, it is the existence of a magic weapon at all!
　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
