Chapter 4: This Is My Army
To be honest, the first reaction of any normal person when an inexplicable voice suddenly appears in his head, and then says something inexplicable that you don't understand at all, is confused.
Of course, Hao Jian was no exception, and before he could react to what these words meant, ten seconds had already passed, and there was a sudden roar in his head, and then he felt a familiar scene in his mind:
A huge square tower stands in the clearing, and a blazing bonfire burns in front of it.
In front of the bonfire, there stood a general in a silver helmet and silver armor, with a big red cloak behind him, looking ahead with a long sword in his hand.
In front of him, a small army was lined up: twenty spearmen with sharp spears and a cold glow in front of them, and ten archers in bright red arrow-sleeved uniforms with large bows on their backs.
At the front of their ranks, there were two swordsmen in silver iron armor, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Isn't that the starting scene of my favorite stronghold game to play? Hao Jian was in a trance.
It's just strange that none of the farmers in black who were sitting around the campfire in the game saw any of them.
What's even more bizarre is that the faces of these soldiers and the red-cloaked general are blurry, and they can't see clearly at all.
Hao Jian's eyes widened and he tried to see the general's face clearly, he knew that it was the lord, and suddenly realized that the voice in his head just now seemed to be talking about the lord.
As he looked, he suddenly noticed that the original lord's blurred face had gradually become clearer, and it had become a face that he was very familiar with.
I'll go, isn't that my original face? Hao Jian suddenly understood.
When the lord's originally blurred face became Hao Jian's own face, the faces of the soldiers whose faces were also blurred also began to become clear, and finally they all became vivid Han faces.
"Please choose where you want to build your storehouse." That strange but strange voice sounded in Hao Jian's mind again at this time.
Hao Jian, who has played countless fortresses, of course understands that at the beginning of the game, it is necessary to build warehouses first, and then start to mobilize troops and start the construction of territories.
Hao Jian's habit was to build the warehouse next to the lord's castle tower, so he subconsciously chose next to the castle.
As soon as his mind moved, a huge warehouse made of stone was already standing next to the lord's castle, and even when he looked closely, he could see through the roof of the warehouse all kinds of materials stored inside: wood, iron ore, cloth, wine, wool, asphalt, stone, candles, etc.
Sure enough, it's exactly the same as in the game.
Just like in the game, the warehouse has just been built, and the soldiers who used to be as motionless as statues are all brought to life.
"I'll wait to see the lord, the enemy is coming, please give an order!"
Suddenly, the two silver iron-armored swordsmen took two steps forward, and when they walked, the iron armor rubbed and made a brushing sound, and knelt down on one knee to take the lead in Hao Jianton.
Enemy forces are coming? But you don't see a single enemy at all?
Hao Jian was in a trance, and suddenly he came to his senses in an instant, and suddenly realized that he was facing a life and death crisis at this moment.
Thinking of this, he almost subconsciously commanded: "Fight!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another trance, and the whole person's consciousness came out of the system field in the brain.
The above seems to be a long time, but in fact, it is a short moment, less than half a minute.
After Hao Jian's consciousness returned to reality, after his eyes were clear, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and the hairs on his whole body seemed to stand up.
Before he could react, a carved arrow that glowed with a cold glow roared towards his face.
And the woman in white not far away next to her was also too busy to take care of herself at this time, because at the same time, arrows flew towards him.
Hao Jian was shocked, instinctively closed his eyes, and the long knife in his hand unconsciously slashed forward.
At this moment, I only heard the sound of a bell, which was the sound of gold and iron, and the arrow that was originally shot at Hao Jian was blocked.
Hao Jian opened his eyes to see that a silver ironclad swordsman had rushed in front of him, raising the iron shield in his hand to block the arrow.
This? Isn't this one of the swordsmen who knelt down to him just now to ask for battle? Wasn't it still in the system domain in the brain just now, why did it suddenly appear in front of him?
"Protect your lordship!" This ironclad swordsman didn't have any extra nonsense, and after a loud roar, the whole person was strictly blocked in front of Hao Jianjian.
The other ironclad swordsman also seemed to appear out of thin air, blocking Hao Jian behind him with his companions.
With their protection, several arrows were either blocked by iron shields or slashed by them with long swords.
Hao Jian was completely stunned by this scene, and let them stand in front of him, but he still held the long knife he picked up from the bandit tightly in his hand.
Behind him came a heavy and neat string of footsteps.
"Spearmen, front formation!" A voice shouted.
"Archers, line up!" Another voice shouted.
With these two voices, the string of footsteps crossed Hao Jianjian's side and reached in front of him.
Through the gap between the two swordsmen who were protecting him, Hao Jian finally saw clearly, it turned out that in the first row were the twenty spearmen he had just seen in the system field, they were dressed in red battle robes, without armor on their bodies, and their spears pointed diagonally into the air. The spearmen in the second row pierced their spears through the gaps in the first row, but at a lower angle, apparently to defend themselves against enemies attacking from the lower three fronts.
Behind the spearmen were ten archers dressed in robes with red arrows, all of whom had bent their bows and arrows, pointing diagonally into the air, and the arrows would shoot out at the slightest command.
The crowd at the gate of the small courtyard had dispersed because of the killing of the officers and soldiers just now, and there were few people who fled, so the appearance of this small army suddenly became the focus of everyone and attracted everyone's attention.
Rao, the woman in white, is usually cold and calm, but at this time, she was also stunned when she looked at this mythical scene, and looked at Hao Jian who was protecting a group of soldiers behind her with an extremely strange face, as if she was desperately guessing his identity.
Anyone who suddenly sees a group of heavily armed soldiers who appear out of thin air will not be calm, okay.
The little maid Xiaowen also looked at all this blankly, looked at the young lady, and then looked at Hao Jian with a dignified face, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but didn't say anything.
At the moment of the great enemy, Hao Jian didn't have time to explain this, and he couldn't explain it at all, so he had to pretend not to see it.
The most important thing at the moment is to repel these officers and soldiers first, and then talk about other things later.
"Your Excellency, please give the order to command the battle!"
The ironclad swordsman on the left suddenly turned around and said loudly.
Hao Jian glanced at him, found the undisguised pious color in his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "This is my army, my army!" So he took a deep breath, slowly raised the long knife in his hand and said loudly: "Start fighting, defeat the enemy in front of you!" ”
