total war rise of empire

Chapter 8 The First Military Building

Two months have passed since Lei Zihao came to this world, and he has thoroughly understood the convenience brought to him by the Total War system!

For example, when building a building, you can temporarily increase the input of coins to speed up the construction!

The villagers of Longhan Village are simply a group of natural construction workers. Lei Zihao, who is always suppressing threats from non-human groups such as kobolds, has invested hundreds of extra troops in order to build the village guard as soon as possible and obtain real force. Gold coins increase the maximum number of builders, and use various coin incentives to speed up villagers' enthusiasm for construction!
The villagers are almost all working except for 6 or 7 hours of eating and sleeping time every day!
Lei Zihao, who had already looked away, didn't feel sorry for the extra cost of gold coins. Anyway, the scattered gold coins didn't disappear out of thin air, but were hidden in the wealth of the people!

To put it bluntly, as the boss of this group of villagers, if he wants to collect the coins in their hands, is there no way?

It's just that the scale of Longhan Village is too small now, and it can't stand Lei Zihao's troubles!
The sweat of the villagers and Lei Zihao's coins were not in vain. The village guardhouse, which originally took half a year to build, was completed in just over two months!

At the moment when the village guardhouse was built, Lei Zihao heard the reminder from the system's mechanical female voice in his mind!
[Congratulations to the governor for building the first military building—the village guard. Now you can recruit villagers to train the basic unit of peasant spearmen in the military recruitment list!
Peasant Spearmen: The training time is one month, and a standard centurion needs [-] gold coins for training. After training, the regular troops only need to provide three meals a day, no need to provide additional military pay, and maintain their allegiance to the governor The basic food, clothing and equipment of the army are the basic qualities of a lord, otherwise, the loyalty and morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced! 】

Although training soldiers will consume the labor force of the village, the hundred-man armed force required by the main mission cannot be supplemented by the temporary militia. In addition, the current military defense force of the village is too weak. A centurion of peasant spearmen is a must. of!

However, before Lei Zihao opened the recruitment list, the system's notification sounded again in his mind!

[Congratulations to the Governor for receiving Antonio, a special type of direct military attendant. This person is a recruit instructor automatically generated by the village guard. The Governor can view this person's information through the operation core! 】

Lei Zihao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that after building a system building, he would give away a follower, this Total War system is really 'considerate'!
Most importantly, this person was not dug out from the villagers, but a 'talent' automatically generated by the system!
This undoubtedly made Lei Zihao pay more attention to it!
Immediately, he opened the information about Antonio in the character list!

[Directly under special military entourage
Name: Antonio

From: Longhan Village
Loyalty: Nine Stars (As long as the Governor survives, he will not change his loyalty)

Commander: None
Position: Longhan Village Recruit Training Instructor
Good at: Training recruits, close combat
Special attributes: personal knowledge and combat effectiveness, which can be automatically improved with the upgrade of the town barracks!Boosts are also available through special events!

Remarks: He is just a trainer for recruits, he has no talent to lead troops to fight, personal martial arts is his greatest pride, and training recruits with sticks is his greatest pleasure! 】

Can it even get 'evolution' with building upgrades? !

It's amazing...

After Lei Zihao saw that his loyalty was solid, he stopped paying attention. It is good to be able to upgrade automatically, but if he cannot lead troops to fight, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced!

Lei Zihao opened the recruitment list, and saw the recruitment options for Peasant Spearmen on it. Different from irregular militias like the temporary militia, the Peasant Spearmen sounded a bit weak, but they were still considered regular troops. Naturally, there is also an exclusive introduction template!

[Arms: Peasant Spearmen

Training time: one month
Soldier Size: Standard Centuries.

Skills: Defensive and offensive
Highest combat power: one star

Morale: two stars

Recruitment fee (100 gold coins), maintenance fee (food and clothing).

Ability: Can form a loose phalanx of spears, can dig tunnels, etc.

Remarks: This is just a group of ordinary spearmen who have received basic military training. Just like their name, they are a group of farmers. The individual combat effectiveness is not satisfactory. Only when they gather together and rely on the strength of the group can they exert the highest combat effectiveness , although they are far inferior to the real elite, but the three-meter-long wooden spears can occupy a lot of advantages in frontal battles, especially when facing short-armed troops!However, when they face long-range strike units, they will be extra vulnerable! 】

Lei Zihao twitched his lips speechlessly. Apart from being cheap, this unit is not even as good as a "weak chicken" when compared with the Spartan General Guard...

The star rating of the morale value means the lowest casualty ratio of the unit, that is to say, when the casualties of the Peasant Spearmen reach more than [-]%, there is a risk of collapse!
At this time, it depends on the commander's ability, and there are various factors that can increase morale, which may increase the proportion of casualties suffered by the collapse. If there is nothing, the peasant spearman After losing more than [-]%, it is a big defeat!

However, according to the standard of the regular army in the era of cold weapons, it can withstand [-]% of casualties, which is much better than cannon fodder and peasant rebels!
In most ancient feudal armies, the proportion of casualties on the battlefield was only [-]% to [-]%, and those who could withstand more than [-]% of casualties without collapsing were enough to be called elites!
Those who can withstand more than [-]% of the casualties without collapsing are all elite troops who have left their names in history, and there are only a few in each era.

Can withstand more than [-]% of the feudal army...

Well, in the history of Lei Zihao's world, there seems to be no...

This is the limitation of the feudal era of cold weapons, and the European army that has completed the modernization construction can only be regarded as a qualified standing army with 5% casualties!

There are many modern armies that suffered more than [-]% casualties on the battlefield in history!

By the time of World War II, there were countless armies with all members, such as a defeated country with an extremely developed AV industry...

Of course, it is very unfair to judge the cold weapon army by the military standards of later generations. In this way, the peasant spearmen can still be called the conventional armed forces of the cold weapon era?

Well, I hope that this alien creature has the same virtue as the historical feudal army in my world...

As Lei Zihao thought about it, he confirmed the recruitment of a centurion of peasant spearmen!
