At this time, they were not the only ones who were as stunned as Huang Dahu's reinforcements.

Far away at the junction of Chongshan County and Qingyuan, a team of thousands of people also learned the news of Yan Kui's attack on the Black Wind Ridge on the way to Qinghukou.

After waving off the service of reporting the news, Zhang Wenyu, one of the Four Great King Kongs of the First Line of Heaven, looked at Xia Jiaolong, who fell silent in front of him, and asked softly.

"Young master, what should we do now."

Xia Jiaolong, a young man in charge, don't look at his young age, but he is already the most outstanding successor of the younger generation of the Chongshan bandits, fifteen-year-old murderer, eighteen-year-old soldier, twenty-four-year-old Xia Jiaolong is recognized by everyone as the future master of the first-line sky.

Zhang Wenyu, as the first line of heaven only under the four King Kongs under the village master Xia Zhen Mountain, is also the top in the cottage, but he is still cautious in front of Xia Jiaolong, which can give a glimpse of the status of this young village master in the first line of heaven.

Not only is it the future successor, but also a veritable second-in-command............

Xia Jiaolong held the reins in his hand, his brows furrowed, and he was also in a dilemma.

A few days ago, Xia Zhenshan, the first-line Tianzhai master, received Shi Dalei's request for help and felt that it was profitable, so he sent his son Xia Jiaolong to bring a thousand minions over to support.

Although the first line of heaven and Heifengling are both in the territory of Chongshan, they belong to two counties, even if the distance is not too far, there are dozens of miles away.

From receiving Shi Dalei's request for help, to the decision of Xia Zhenshan, the owner of the village, to send troops, and then Xia Jiaolong, the owner of the village, set off with the whole army, and it took less than two days to gather together, and the reinforcements of the first line of heaven arrived at the Qingyuan boundary.

Hundreds of minions, one of the three major bandits in Chongshan has accumulated savings for many years, so a fool is reluctant to ask for it............

……………

But Xia Jiaolong never expected that he would come quickly, and Shi Dalei would plant faster.

Damn, is it so wasteful up and down the Black Wind Ridge?

Dazhai with thousands of people was wiped out in a few days?

Is Yan Kui too powerful, or is the three bandits of Heifengling not worthy of the name?

Xia Shaozhai felt very uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he couldn't wait here with thousands of people, thinking for a long time, Xia Jiaolong waved his hand and withdrew the army the same way.

There is no way, the original plan was that he led the troops to attack and contain the reinforcements of Qinghukou, Shi Dalei and others killed from the mountain, and the two sides attacked inside and outside, even if they couldn't kill Yan Kui, they could firmly suppress it in the camp and not get out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Jiaolong received the money, food, and ordnance from Shi Dalei and his gang and Heifengling, and returned to the front line.

But now that Shi Dalei is dead, they can only face the official army led by Yan Kui alone, and if they go to Heifengling now, the place where they and Yan Kui fought is no longer a camp built in a hurry by the official army, but a Heifengling Dazhai that Luo Biao has operated for many years and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At that time, thousands of official troops could not penetrate it, and with only the thousands of bandits under him, Xia Jiaolong did not have the courage to attack the village.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiaolong suddenly had a fire in his belly, his mother's Shi Dalei was a waste, Luo Biao couldn't attack thousands of people when he was there, it was his turn to defend, and hundreds of people took it in two days.

The surname Shi deserves to die, Yan Kui doesn't kill him, and Lao Tzu will chop him up............

…………

Hearing Xia Jiaolong's order to retreat, Zhang Wenyu was a little unwilling, but he didn't know how to persuade him, sighed lightly, turned his horse's head and ordered the army to return to the division.

Xia Jiaolong looked up in the direction of the Black Wind Ridge, his eyes moved slightly: "Yan Kui, it's a big enemy." ”

Just when the master of Xia Shaozhai was talking about Yan Kui, Yan Kui, who was sitting upright in the Juyi Hall, suddenly sneezed.

"Huh? Who's scolding me. ”

Shaking his head and driving away the cranky thoughts in his mind, Yan Kui put his gaze back on the virtual screen in front of him, he was studying the new function of the system that appeared after his level 30 - [Recruitment].

The [Recruitment] function of the system, as the name suggests, is to allow Yan Kui to spend a certain amount of merit points to buy and recruit soldiers in the system, and these soldiers are all "military branches" that Yan Kui had a lot of reputation in his previous life, such as the three options in front of him.

Liangshan bandits, Yellow Turban elite soldiers, and Bailian sect members.

"Why are you either a bandit or a thief."

Yan Kui couldn't help but complain, but he was very satisfied with these three branches of the military in his heart, after all, although this gang had a bad reputation, he must have his own uniqueness in making such a big battle in his previous life, at least not weakly these militias he trained.

Belch......... Well, Yan Kui didn't think that the soldiers produced by the system would be inferior to the militia he had only trained for a few months.

Although Yan Kui has been cheated by the system countless times, he still firmly believes that it is his own bad hand and the system is "innocent.........

…………

Of course, Yan Kui was not unprovoked, he had carefully studied the systematic data of these three branches of the military.

Among them, the Liangshan bandits, all of whom were born in the green forest, are extremely good at mountain and forest operations, and their personal force is relatively much more prominent than that of ordinary soldiers.

And the Yellow Turban elite soldiers, although their personal strength is not as good as the Liangshan bandits from the green forest, but because of the great rebellion, they have repeatedly experienced battle formations and are good at military formations, and they are definitely the best in the three major military branches in the head-to-head confrontation on the battlefield.

As for the last White Lotus Sect members, relatively speaking, the war was worse than the first two, but because of "faith", the spiritual attributes of the White Lotus Sect members exploded, and they acted unexpectedly, and they did whatever it took to achieve their goals.

In addition, they started with conspiracy and rebellion, so these white lotuses are very suitable for working as dead soldiers, assassins, intelligence and other work.

It can also be seen that the three primary classes given by the system do not appear randomly, but each has its own strengths, which can greatly help Yan Kui, which is one of the reasons why Yan Kui attaches so much importance to this new feature.

Elite, which leader doesn't want it, let alone a group of elites who are only loyal to themselves.

Yan Kui couldn't wait to form a system-produced army............

…………

However, recruiting system soldiers costs Yan Kui's merit points.

Merit points, the auxiliary function that appears with the [Recruitment] function, the biggest role is to let Yan Kui use this to recruit system soldiers.

There are two ways to obtain merit points, the first is the same as experience upgrades, through Yan Kui's own killing, to get merit points.

However, unlike the upgrade experience, merit points value merit, so Yan Kui can only get merit points if he kills people, and he is an enemy, and it is useless to kill pigs, sheep, and his own people.

And in addition to killing the enemy, the system also stipulates that the enemy soldiers captured by him will also be given merit points, but there will be a lot of discounts on the number.

At present, the three branches of the military that have appeared in the system require 1 merit point for recruitment, and Yan Kui will get 1 merit point for every ordinary enemy soldier (minions) he personally kills.

Further up, 10 points for 100 households (leaders), 100~300 for 1000 partial generals (bandit leaders), 800~2000 miscellaneous generals, 3000~5000 for senior generals, and 8000~10000 for army commanders or top generals.

If Yan Kui killed any prince or enemy emperor, he would be able to directly smash out a well-trained and tens of thousands of elite troops who dared to kill.

Compared with killing, the merit obtained by the captives is much worse, almost between one-third and one-quarter, which is not worth it, but the large number of prisoners is better than Yan Kui's ability to cut them one by one.

The second way to obtain merit points is to obtain merit by Yan Kui by fighting in battle.

Whether he commands or Yan Kui obeys orders, as long as he participates in the battle, no matter whether Yan Kui wins or loses, as long as the system determines that Yan Kui has made meritorious contributions in the battle, merit points will be awarded.

Of course, in order to put an end to Yan Kui's meritorious deeds, even if the side he joins wins a big victory, as long as he does not contribute, the system will not reward him with merit points.

Judging from these two methods, it can be clearly seen that the two ways proposed by the system to obtain merit points are to encourage Yan Kui to fight and conquer

After all, it's a fierce general system, and if you don't fight, you're a fierce general............

…………

"This is forcing me to become a war maniac."

Yan Kui smiled, Yan Kui opened the merit points page on the virtual screen, which clearly showed that Yan Kui had a total of 1313 merit points.

Because the new function has just been opened, Yan Kui's merit points are all calculated from the beginning of his entry into Qinghukou.

After entering Qinghukou, Yan Kui fought a total of two battles, of which there were not many ordinary minions, only 26 people, 26 points, but three leaders died in his hands, 30 points, Luo Biao and Chen Heizi The two bandit leaders were killed by him, Chen 200 points, Luo 300, so Yan Kui killed a total of 556 merit points.

But in the two battles, Yan Kui captured a lot of bandit leaders and minions, no less than thousands, even if they were discounted, they added up to 357 merit points.

In addition, because of the Battle of Qinghukou, Yan Kui wiped out the main force of Heifengling, and the system rewarded 100 points, and the system rewarded 100 points for breaking the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Heifengling cottage, and the two battles cleared the Qingyuan bandits, and the system rewarded another 200 points.

It can be seen that the best way to earn merit points is to kill generals and win battles, and killing soldiers and prisoners is relatively weaker.

Yan Kui touched his chin, turned his head and turned the screen back to the military branch page, thinking a little tangled, whether he should directly recruit these three military branches, or add a new military branch and recruit again.

Yes, the system does not only have three military branches such as Liangshan bandits, this is only the basic military branch given by the system, Yan Kui can spend 1000 merit points to let the system randomly add a new military branch.

Of course, the recruitment price of the new military may not be the same as that of the basic military branches such as the Liangshan bandits.

According to the price list of some military branches posted by the system, Tang Taizong's Xuanjia cavalry (with horses) requires 8 merit points to recruit a person; The Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei needed 9 merit points; And Yue Fei's Beiwei Army and Genghis Khan's Mongolian Iron Cavalry (with horses) can only recruit one person with 10 merit points.

10 merit points is already the highest recruitment price in the system, that is to say, the military branch with 10 merit points is the military branch with the highest comprehensive evaluation in the system, and every ordinary member is the elite of a hundred battles, and the kind that can be a low-level general in ordinary troops.

Yan Kui didn't expect that he could randomly get these top military branches worth 8 or 9 points, and in his previous life, he could dominate the top military branches in China, and he could bet on a Guanning Iron Horse worth 5 points was enough for him.

Yan Kui struggled in the Juyi Hall for a long time, and finally coaxed, now there are not many merit points, if he doesn't get any good military branches, it is not equivalent to throwing in a thousand elite soldiers in vain, Yan Kui is not so arrogant.

……………

What's more, Yan Kui is now just an eight-grade thousand households, and recruiting some basic military branches such as Liangshan bandits and yellow turban elite soldiers is not a big deal, and outsiders will train when they see him.

When Xu Yu saw it, he would also guess that someone in the green forest admired Yan Kui's prestige and came to take refuge.

This kind of thing is also common in the Northern Jin Dynasty, at most you will be surprised that these people seem to have military habits, and they can prevaricate with some excuses.

But Yan Kui can't say that he really recruited dozens of Mongolian iron cavalry, not to mention the preciousness and scarcity of cavalry, just the armor, weapons, and horses of cavalry are not something ordinary people can buy, Yan Kui was a pig killer half a year ago, how can he have spare money to raise such a cavalry.

I don't know if someone will treat him as a spy in the Western Zhou Dynasty, otherwise how to explain that Yan Kui has an elite cavalry under him.

Therefore, all things considered, the three basic military branches of Liangshan, Yellow Turban, and White Lotus are Yan Kui's best choices at present............
