Rewind time to ten days ago.

In the fifteenth year of Liyang, the ninth day of the third month

Xiao Guan

After more than half a month of offensive and defensive battles, Xue Yang, the chief general of the Zhou army, led the army to attack all day long, and finally successfully commanded a trebuchet to break a city wall in Xiaoguan yesterday afternoon, so that the city wall of Xiaoguan leaked a large hole several zhang wide.

It's a pity that the Zhou army reacted too slowly, and by the time the siege troops had killed, the Jin army in Guannei had already arrived, arranged the defense line, and replaced the city wall with a human wall.

The Zhou army stormed for half an hour, but was unable to break through this hole in the city wall for a long time, and did not retreat until it was dark.

However, fortunately, it is gratifying that although the Zhou army did not take this good opportunity to break through Xiao Pass in one fell swoop, it consumed a lot of Jin defenders today, which is very good news for the Zhou army, which has several times the advantage of troops.

In addition, more importantly, the damage to the city wall of Xiaoguan will greatly facilitate the siege in the future, even if the Jin army in the city will keep this opening overnight, the defensive effect will be greatly reduced.

It can be expected that today's Zhou army broke the city wall here, and it will become an important place for the two armies to fight in the future............

…………

That night, Xiao Guan guarded the general's mansion in the city

After the Ministry of Confession rushed to repair the city wall overnight, Yan Kui returned to the hall with a tired face, threw his helmet to the guards, sat on the stool, exhaled a long breath, and then scolded fiercely.

"Damn, the Ministry of Works, how to build the city wall."

Obviously, Yan Kui was angry at the city wall being smashed by the Zhou army's trebuchet during the day, but to be honest, the city wall was broken by the Zhou army's trebuchet, and it really didn't depend on the Ministry of Human Resources.

After all, Xiao Guan fell to the Zhou army in May last year, and it has not been large-scale repaired for nearly a year until it was recaptured by Yan Kui.

Now, it has been surrounded by the Zhou army for half a month, and the trebuchets and siege engines are fighting every day, and it is completely understandable that the wall is damaged.

In fact, Yan Kui also understands this truth, but because of today's city wall, the casualties of the defenders in the pass are as high as 1,000, and he can't find trouble with the Zhou army, so he can only scold the Ministry of Labor to relieve his anger.

"Alas........."

Thinking of today's casualties, Yan Kui couldn't help but sigh, the number of Xiao Pass's defenders was not much.

Before he took 20,000 horses from Nanling to Jinglongling, he later supported Tang Xiang and attacked Xiaoguan and Junxian, and fought many battles, losing thousands of men and horses.

Waiting for Xue Yang to attack, after returning to defend Xiaoguan, he resisted the onslaught of the Zhou army for half a month, and the Jin army that came with him at the beginning suffered some casualties.

As a result, one-tenth of it was lost in half a day, life and death comrades-in-arms, and the current enemy, can Yan Kui not feel uncomfortable and angry............

…………

Yan Kui was sitting here sulking, and Monk Guangshan walked in with a big bowl of soup.

"General, it's cold today, and the guy specially cooked broth to ward off the cold for you."

Seeing the conscientious monk Guangshan during this time, the expression on Yan Kui's face was a little soothing, but he didn't have the appetite to drink the soup, so he asked him to put the soup aside, Yan Kui asked Guangshan about the morale of the defenders under his command.

The city was almost broken today, and the casualties were extremely serious, Yan Kui was a little afraid that the morale of the soldiers below would be low.

Monk Guangshan put the soup bowl next to Yan Kui, and scratched his bald head innocently: "I can't say the specifics, but it seems that the brothers are quite energetic, saying that as long as there is a general here, Xue Yang is not to be afraid." ”

When Yan Kui heard this, he couldn't help but smile, indeed, most of the 20,000 people were his hardcore supporters, half of them were system soldiers, half of them were Yanshan Jin Army, and thirty percent of the middle and low-level generals were the six hundred lucky ones who were killed with him from Ping'an Town, and none of them were hardcore descendants who admired his bravery.

And the rest of the people, after these hard battles in Beiling, most of them were conquered by Yan Kui's bravery, as long as Yan Kui, the Yama Luo, was not defeated, they all believed that the Zhou army was not their opponent.

Yan Kui has been in the army for a day, and his morale can be used.

…………

"Okay, you go down and rest, you have to defend the city tomorrow,"

Hearing that the military heart was available, the mood suddenly became good Yan Kui kicked Guangshan out, then opened the system, and then went straight to the recruitment page.

From a few days ago, Yan Kui had the intention of recruiting soldiers and horses from the system to replenish, but due to various concerns, he did not start to implement it, until today, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties, and there were loopholes in the city wall, and Xiao Guan saw that he was in crisis.

Yan Kui finally made up his mind to recruit soldiers and horses in the system.

However, it is still the same old problem, Yan Kui's status is not prominent now, so without a suitable cover, it is not appropriate to directly recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale.

After all, Yan Kui's strength is not consolidated, and he doesn't want to expose his hole cards until he has to.

Therefore, Yan Kui did not plan to recruit too many systematic soldiers this time, and it was estimated that there would be only about one or two thousand people, which would also be convenient for him to explain the cover.

However, only recruiting one or two thousand people, although it was convenient for Yan Kui to explain the cover, but such a number of reinforcements was not much help for Xiao Guan's Jin army.

After all, there are more than 40,000 Zhou troops outside the city, and adding a thousand more people is just erasing today's casualties.

In the current situation where the city wall is damaged, once the Zhou army storms at any cost, in two or three days at most, these two thousand reinforcements can be put in.

……………

However, Yan Kui has long considered this, since it is impossible to effectively supplement Xiao Guan in terms of quantity, then start with quality.

There is an option in the recruitment function, Yan Kui can spend 1000 merit points to make the system randomly add a new military class.

This new branch of the military can be a basic military branch such as the Liangshan bandits, or it may be a top military branch in Chinese history such as the Mongolian Iron Cavalry and the Beiwei Army.

Luck depends on luck.

In the past, Yan Kui had few meritorious points, and he was taboo about his bad hands, so he didn't dare to gamble, but now that there is a problem, Yan Kui has to gamble.

Thinking of this, Yan Kui looked at his remaining merit points, which were about 3,300, he exhaled and said viciously.

"That's it, just bet three times, and once a single person is worth more than 5 points, you will make money."

System service, single recruitment price 1~10 points, 1 point military class is the lowest quality, otherwise 10 points is the highest.

Yan Kui is not very greedy, and hopes that it is enough for him to draw a single military class worth 5 points, which is equivalent to the top elite troops of a monarch.

It is probably slightly equal to the elite of the current Three Kingdoms Forbidden Army, which belongs to the top troops in the world, and further up, they are all troops that can leave a name in history.

So far, among the armies of the Three Kingdoms, only Ji Linbing's White Feather Flying Cavalry has this qualification, and before the Battle of Caishi Mountain, the Northern Jin Dynasty border army can also be among them, but now the border army is broken, I'm afraid it's enough.

In addition, there may be some soldiers and horses whose combat power can be discussed, but there is no specific record and cannot be compared............

…………

in the room

Yan Kui was stunned, throwing away all his complicated thoughts, and using his mind to open the option of adding a new military branch.

The 1000 merit points were instantly deducted, followed by a white light, and a virtual black tiger talisman appeared in front of Yan Kui.

Ordinary Ming Army (Jiajing period), single recruitment 2 points/person.

Without clicking on the introduction, Yan Kui frowned, and directly clicked on the new military option again, and the white light flashed again, the 1000 merit points disappeared, and a new tiger talisman appeared in front of Yan Kui.

The Great Song Xiangjun (Song Shenzong period), single recruitment 2 points/person.

Yan Kui's brows furrowed tightly, and the results were unsatisfactory twice, making his expression a little solemn.

He didn't click on the new option cleanly like the previous two times, but rested for a while, temporarily worshiped God, and then cautiously clicked the third new military branch.

The 1000 merit points disappeared, and it was still a familiar white light, but the tiger talisman that appeared was not black from the previous two times, but turned golden, emitting a somewhat dazzling golden light.

The White Robe Army, 10 points/person recruited by a single person, and the number limit is 7000

Looking at this simple introduction, Yan Kui's eyes straightened.

The White Robe Army?

Is it the white-robed army that "famous generals don't prison themselves, and thousands of troops avoid white robes"?

Grandma's, Lao Tzu sent it this time............
