Because of Zhou Cang's deposit, Zhang Fan's speed of brushing the small Yellow Turban camp was very fast, except for the last wave of 100 Yellow Turban Army, the appearance of other small groups of Yellow Turban Army could not pose an effective threat to him at all!

The strength of the archer class is perfectly reflected, of course, it can have this effect, and Zhou Cang is definitely a great contribution!

More than a dozen camps were brushed down, Zhang Fan saved 80 homeless people, Zhou Cang's level was also improved, and his combat effectiveness was stronger, and the 15 junior archers recruited by Zhang Fan at the earliest had a deeper understanding of bows and arrows because of many battles, and they have been upgraded to intermediate archers:

Intermediate Archer (can carry 100 arrows):

Attack: 2-4 (depending on morale)

Equip: Iron Bow Attack +2

Attack Speed: 3

Defense: 2

Speed: 2 (on most terrains)

Firing range: 150 meters

Class Skills:

Projectile: +50 m extra range, -1 attack speed

Burst: Attack +2, Attack Speed -1

Indiscriminate Shot: -2 Attack Damage, +2 Attack Speed, -100 Attack Range

Due to the limitations of the innate physical element, the intermediate archers trained by ordinary homeless people only have some more attacks than the junior archers, and they have one more class skill, and the rest of the attributes have not been improved.

The skill of random shooting is dispensable in the early stage, because the attack of the archer in the early stage is not high, although the attack speed is increased, but the attack power is reduced by 2, there is basically no output, which is very impractical!

In the later stage, the level of generals is high, and the effect of this skill can only be slowly reflected after the promotion of the troop element, and the attacks that erupt in a short period of time at close range are very impressive!

Of course, this is only for the vast majority of players, at this stage, Zhang Fan, who has a historical general like Zhou Cang, is not in this range, under the bonus of Zhou Cang's military domination, the attack weakening of random shooting is no longer there, and intermediate archers can still exert their own 2-4 attack power!

Zhang Fan pulled out 15 intermediate archers to form a team alone, this is a habit he has developed for a long time, after having a formation in the later stage, due to the difference in the movement speed of high-level and low-level troops, it is easy to confuse or even disintegrate the formation, without a fight, he will not make such a low-level mistake!

After the Archers upgraded, the battle became much easier, and a small Yellow Turban camp could be captured in just twenty minutes, making it much more efficient.

Time flies by, and before you know it, it's already early in the morning, but Zhang Fan doesn't feel tired, as a professional gamer, staying up late is one of the must-haves!

The blind brushing of the yellow turban camp is very monotonous, but the harvest is quite rich, Zhang Fan has accumulated more than 300 homeless people, Zhou Cang has been promoted to three levels, Zhang Fan himself has also been promoted to one level, he has added free attribute points to the strategy, with Zhou Cang leading the troops, he can develop his own strategy with peace of mind.

Zhang Fan doesn't like to charge into battle by himself, he likes the feeling of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, in this case, strategy has undoubtedly become the top priority!

Handed over the army to Commander Zhou Cang and instructed him to continue to brush the Yellow Turban camp, Zhang Fan decided to go back to the village to take a look first, after such a long time, there may already be a lot of soldiers available for recruitment in the city, and the more than 20,000 taels of silver captured on him can also come in handy!

This is the advantage of having a lieutenant general, players can entrust their army to the lieutenant general, of course, the combat IQ of the general is really not very good, and the battle will only be hard to kill, casualties will undoubtedly increase a lot, and even the whole army may be wiped out.

Zhou Cang, as a famous general in history, although he is not as good as experienced players in leading troops to fight, but he will not make some low-level mistakes, and now Zhang Fan's archers have all been upgraded to intermediate, and his strength has been greatly improved, and he can cope with most situations, so Zhang Fan is very relieved to hand over the army to him.

Of course, if Zhou Cang is replaced by Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, a top famous general, Zhang Fan will have no worries at all, even if he gives them a relatively weak soldier, he can often defeat the strong with the weak, and his combat ability even exceeds that of the vast majority of players!

In the early stage of the game, the number of troops is small, and the player can completely control it, but once the number of troops increases, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can almost occupy the player's field of vision, although you can open the strategic map from God's perspective to control, but often can not be exhaustive, at this time the player can choose to control only a team of soldiers and horses, and the other soldiers and horses are handed over to the subordinates to lead, and only need to issue some strategic instructions, at this time, the level of intellectual domination of the deputy general can be fully revealed, A good lieutenant can not only complete the player's instructions well, but also make some unexpected moves, so as to expand the advantage!

The deputy general leads the troops to fight, and as the chief general, he can also gain experience, but it is only ten percent of the usual time, if he is confident enough in the ability of the deputy general, the main general can stay in the village to preside over government affairs and wait for experience!

"My lord! During this time, I recruited a total of 235 soldiers, and 15 of them were very strong and useful! 100 pairs of bows and arrows and leather armor, in addition, the number of displaced people in the village has increased significantly recently, and the number of settled farmers has reached 1000 people. Seeing Zhang Fan coming back, Niu Jiao hurriedly asked.

"Level up!" Zhang Fan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that 1,000 farmers would settle down so soon, which was really unexpected for him.

After spending 5,000 taels of silver to upgrade the village to level 2, Zhang Fan clicked on the village's control panel:

Dragon Soul Village (Level 2 Village)

Long-term resident population: 1,000 people

Buildings: Blacksmith Shop Level 1, Armor Shop Level 1, Academy Level 1, Tavern Level 1, Stables Level 1, Barracks Level 1.

To upgrade to the next level, you need to have a long-term resident population of 3,000 people and 4 buildings of any level 2!

"The village level has reached level 2, and the level of the building can also be improved, may I ask which buildings the lord wants to upgrade?" Horn asked again.

"Blacksmith shop, armor shop, academy, barracks! Well, that's all for now! Zhang Fan pointed out one by one, these four buildings are the most cost-effective, other buildings such as taverns are either too expensive to upgrade, or it is difficult to see the results, are not the first choice for development, as for the stable, the place where war horses are produced, it has also been temporarily shelved because wild horses have not been found in the nearby wild and cannot be brought back for domestication and breeding.

The upgrade of the building was soon completed, and after a series of squandering of recruiting troops, buying weapons and equipment, and upgrading the village building, the silver taels that Zhang Fan had left in the village had been squandered, and he took out all the silver taels he was carrying and handed them to the horns.

"Became a pauper again!" Zhang Fan sighed, but he was very proud in his heart, when most players had not yet built a village, he already had a level 2 village, which was undoubtedly a big lead!

As soon as his eyes turned, Zhang Fan walked to the gate of the academy, the academy that had just been upgraded to level 2 was much bigger than before, and he decided to try his luck!

"You can travel thousands of miles by reading 10,000 books, do you want to enter the academy to study?"

"Yes!"

"Congratulations on obtaining the cherished Art of War Book!"

"The Art of War?" Zhang Fan looked at the system prompt in front of him, almost couldn't believe his eyes, and only laughed out loud after half a ring: "This is really luck, and I can't stop it!" ”

Can't wait, Zhang Fan looked at the loot he had just obtained:

"Divine Speed": Soldier Divine Speed, increases army movement speed by 1, lasts 10 minutes, and cooldown time is 1 hour.

Without hesitation, the system prompted Zhang Fan to add a new strategy skill, "God Speed" is different from ambush, sneak attack This kind of strategy that can be self-taught, you must obtain the corresponding art of war book to be able to comprehend!

"Haha!" Zhang Fanle couldn't close his mouth, the skill of "God Speed" is very important for the player's strategy system, and many chain plans need its cooperation, for example, "God Speed" with "Surprise Attack" can maximize the effect caused by the latter, and the increased damage is not one or two!

Zhang Fan loves the archers for ten minutes for this long-range class, and the archers have a special combat method called "kite warfare", the principle is to use the advantage of movement speed to fight while walking, and eliminate it within the distance that the opponent can attack, so as to achieve the combat goal of zero casualties.
