A last quarter moon hangs in the sky, and clouds hang far or near in the quiet and high night sky, which seems lonely and lonely in the dark night sky.

Beneath the lonely and dark night sky, there was a long group of men and horses moving quietly and rapidly northward.

The arrival of 3,000 people solved the biggest difficulty for Hao Jian to expand his army again.

After a series of pacification measures, the popular sentiment of the 3,000 newly joined people also exceeded 50. And the honor value has also increased to almost 10,000 points.

And during this time, the development of the territory in the field of the system has also made great achievements, all kinds of grain and apples are piled up in the granary, and the warehouse is also full of wood and stone.

Hao Jian found that the production speed in the system field was almost as fast as the speed of playing games in the computer. In other words, when playing on the computer, the player can develop in a few hours and wipe out all the computer opponents on the map.

This kind of speed may feel normal to you in the game, but when you put this speed in reality, it's really incredible.

Therefore, although Hao Jian has only been in this world for less than a month, the materials in the system territory are full of hoards.

For these materials, Hao Jian left a small part for the villagers in the system domain to use and consume, and sold the rest in the market, obtaining a total of nearly 100,000 gold coins.

Coupled with the part of Hai Dongqing's property that Hao Jian had confiscated before, all the gold coins in the system now add up to more than 100,000.

Therefore, the troops under Hao Jian's command once again expanded like balloons.

The Guards had expanded to five hundred, five hundred ironclad swordsmen, including the hill-like guy at the Mountain Pillar. His armor alone consumes three times as much material as anyone else's.

And this guy is not used to the long sword of a swordsman, so Hao Jian found someone to create a huge mace and a huge iron shield, so this guy shouted to take advantage of it.

Seeing this humanoid tank at that time, Hao Jian had already begun to mourn in his heart for the Tartar soldiers who were going to face him.

The number of crossbowmen was also expanded to 1,000, all of whom were dressed in leather armor.

Of course, the most important thing is the cavalry, which is the main type of army fighting the Tartars. In the vast plains of Liaodong, nothing is more effective than cavalry.

The archers increased to a thousand horsemen, and the hussars to two thousand. With these 3,000 cavalry, Hao Jian can be regarded as having the strength to fight when he encounters the Tartar brigade.

In the end, Hao Jian gritted his teeth and trained a hundred heavily armored knights from the barracks as the secret weapon of the finale.

At the same time, Hao Jian also expanded the number of monks to 500, all of which were led by Xuzhu, and were used as the main force to guard the valley and maintain daily order in the valley.

After this round of large-scale expansion, the total number of troops under Hao Jian's command has exceeded 5,000.

Although five thousand people are really not many in the era of cold weapons, and they may be reimbursed after a fight, it is enough to support Hao Jian to carry out this ambush battle.

Of course, this expansion has basically consumed Hao Jian's savings during this time.

However, Hao Jian believes that as long as he wins this battle, he will gain more than he loses.

Tomorrow is the time for Tong Yangxing to ask for assembly, so Hao Jian ordered Ran Wu to take the men and horses who were going to ambush to the wild boar slope overnight.

Except for the five hundred cavalry left for himself, as well as the five hundred monks and crossbowmen who guarded the valley, and the three hundred spearmen, the rest of the men and horses were all handed over to Ran Wu.

Hao Jian knew that the success or failure of this ambush was on Ran Wu.

As long as Ran Wu can give Tartar a heavy blow at the first time and give Tartar no time to react, the people he brings can play a role.

Of course, the most important reason is that he has never had this kind of experience in commanding large battles, but Ran Wu is a serious soldier produced by the system, and he is also an all-round powerful knight.

Judging from the performance during this time, these knights can be powerful warriors when they form battle formations, but they can also be qualified generals if they are commanders.

And Ran Wu is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among them.

And Hao Jian also found a feature of the system soldiers that is different from the original game, that is, they have a strong sense of growth.

For example, originally in the game, swordsmen can't ride horses and can only fight on foot, but here in Hao Jian, all swordsmen can learn the skill of riding horses by learning. For example, Bai Mu and Li Jian have now learned to ride horses.

Of course, this kind of horseback riding does not make them immediately become heavy cavalry like Ran Wu and them, they can only be said to be infantry who can ride horses, but this can also greatly improve the mobility of the troops.

In addition, originally in the game, the archer is the archer, and the crossbowman is the crossbowman, and the two cannot be combined, but in Hao Jian's case, the archer can learn to use the crossbow, and the crossbowman can of course learn to shoot arrows, so he now only has compound crossbowmen and no single archer or crossbowmen.

Therefore, in principle, Hao Jian believes that all branches of the military have growth potential, and can learn various skills of other arms, and the only difference may be the difference between amateur and professional.

Of course, one of the biggest characteristics that Hao Jian found is not the above, but a kind of intellectual and ideological growth, like a natural person, in the process of continuous experience and consciousness growth.

For example, after Ran Wu's experience during this period of time, his command skills have grown a lot, and he has begun to learn to plan and use strategies from the original decent battle array command to now.

This is what makes Hao Jian the most excited, what he is most afraid of is that these system soldiers will always be as rigid and unchanged as in the game, and they will always be what they are like when they are set, which is really painful.

How can such an army rely on them to fight for the world?

It's better to say that there are fewer people, and you can still encourage yourself to maintain it alone. But once the size of the army is too large, and there are no capable generals at all levels below, then you are tired and unable to do it like your fingers.

Some people say that you can train some natural people as generals.

This method is not impossible, but firstly, it is extremely risky, and secondly, the cycle is too long, and Hao Jian will not consider this point unless he has to do so.

He knew that he did not have the ability and personality charm of Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Zu, and could not restrain and suppress those talented but perhaps equally ambitious generals, and could not guarantee that military power would always be firmly in his hands.

Fortunately, the system allows him to do this, and can ensure that the military power is always in hand.
