County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

"I'll trap your monkey."

"How many resources would it take me to recruit even one member of the White Horse Cavalry? It's practically robbery!!"

"And then there's the daily consumption and military pay..."

Han Yilin did a quick calculation,

It's simply adding the character "万" (wan) after the number.

If we assume he recruits 10,000 people, it would require 3 million units of food and 150 million copper coins, and he would need to consume an additional 1.5 million units of food every day thereafter.

That's an astronomical figure!

"Are you robbing me from across the street?"

"Looking at it this way, a level four barracks is the simplest requirement. It's just a matter of upgrading the city lord's mansion by two levels."

His lips twitched.

Han Yilin simply couldn't hold back any longer.

Their combat power is indeed formidable.

That's the cost; we simply can't afford to keep them.

But on second thought,

In history,

Gongsun Zan's White Horse Cavalry only numbered three thousand men, but Han Yilin felt that with some effort, he might be able to build one as well.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin glanced at the upgrade requirements for the City Lord's Mansion.

To upgrade the City Lord's Mansion to level 3,

The population needs to reach five thousand.

He secretly calculated in his mind,

"Judging from this scale, to be upgraded to a level 4 county, it would probably need at least 10,000 people. By then, resource output should have increased several dozen times, and forming the White Horse Cavalry should not be a problem."

"I just don't know if recruiting special forces members will come with weapons. If they still have to go unarmed and find their own 'white horse' (a metaphor for a skilled soldier), that would be a bit awkward."

In this regard,

This is indeed Han Yilin's question.

Judging from the class change of light cavalry, soldiers must meet the 'horsemanship' requirement before they can be promoted to light cavalry.

But if it's a special unit...

Thinking of this,

With a thought,

Open the barracks interface.

really,

The White Horse Cavalry had lit up in the previously gray recruitment list, but the requirements were not met, so they could not be recruited.

then,

Open the job change list.

After examining the situation thoroughly, Han Yilin concluded that special and regular troops should be independent of each other.

Special units do not require a class change and can be recruited directly.

Simultaneously,

The long-standing problem regarding the rank relationship between different troop types has also been clarified.

First of all,

The most basic type of military unit is the militia.

The attributes are not high.

Their combat strength is also relatively weak.

They can't even be considered soldiers.

Secondary troop types are those that can be promoted to higher ranks, such as light infantry, spearmen, and light cavalry.

Next,

Even a Tier 3 unit is still converted from a Tier 2 unit.

The prerequisite is a level 3 barracks, and the available troop types include: spearmen, heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, etc.

In terms of rank,

Han Yilin guessed,

Since level 2 units are green, level 3 units can only be blue, and then there are special units.

Level 1 special troops are purple, Level 2 special troops are gold, and Level 3 special troops are red.

"Looking at it this way..."

"The combat power of ordinary troops has an upper limit. In the later stages of the game, it is the special troops that will determine the outcome of the battlefield."

"However, it's hard to say. After all, the cost of building special units is too high, and ordinary players probably can't afford it. Moreover, if the difference in numbers is too great, special units may not be able to play a decisive role."

These are the current ones.

It is only based on the existing conditions.

The specifics of Han Yilin's own analysis will have to wait until the product reaches the appropriate stage of development.

As for the present situation

The biggest gains have already been achieved.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Han Yilin didn't want to stay any longer. Just as he was about to return, Cheng Murou came looking for him.

"Sir, what should we do with those prisoners?"

"captive?"

He slapped his forehead.

Han Yilin completely forgot about this.

Mainly,

When exploring these areas before, the garrison troops, bandits, and outlaws would often run away as soon as things turned sour, and Han Yilin was too lazy to chase them.

Unexpectedly,

this time,

Even after the battle, there are still prisoners.

"Speaking of these prisoners, is it possible to persuade them to surrender...?"

With doubts,

Han Yilin walked towards the group of prisoners.

result,

A notification actually popped up.

[Large number of prisoners of war detected. Actions available: detain, interrogate, and induce surrender.]

[Note: After a successful surrender, prisoners will be converted into surrendered soldiers. After reorganization at the drill ground, they can be incorporated into the army.]

Upon seeing the prompt,

Han Yilin's eyes lit up: "It really works?"

Subsequently,

He tried it out.

In the detention interface, prisoners of war can be directly detained in the police station's prison.

This process,

Han Yilin said he was very familiar with it.

Many strategy games have similar tactics: after winning a battle, try to persuade surrendering prisoners to surrender, and imprison those who refuse, then try to persuade them to surrender as soon as possible.

Even with repeated operations,

These prisoners,

They can then be converted into your own soldiers.

right now,

Almost the same.

The "surrender" part can't be done with a single click like in a game; you actually have to say it out loud.

Han Yilin immediately began to persuade them to surrender: "Gentlemen, I think you understand your current situation better than I do."

"I won't waste any more words. Anyone willing to join Zhatian County will receive all the necessary provisions, including food, military pay, and lodging."

"As for those who are unwilling, that's fine too. They can stay in jail for now and come out when they've figured things out."

As soon as he finished speaking,

on site,

Immediately, many prisoners began to riot.

Many people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hesitating,

A man slowly raised his hand: "Sir, I am willing to surrender."

With the first leader taking the lead,

quickly,

The second, the third... all surrendered.

of course,

Not everyone is willing to surrender.

Han Yilin counted them.

Of the more than seventy prisoners, only about twenty were willing to surrender. As for the rest, Han Yilin didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand: "Take them all back and throw them in jail!"

"yes!"

......

After dealing with the prisoner issue,

Han Yilin led the team back to Zhatian County.

On the way,

Han Yilin stared at the list of buildings.

Previously, in order to repair the city walls,

This caused the stone to be exposed.

Many of the newly recruited refugees don't even have a place to live. There are now more than 400 of them who have to stay in temporary tents at night.

"Let's build a Class II residential building on this side street; it can accommodate more people."

Class II residential building

One room can accommodate 20 people.

Han Yilin built 30 rooms in one go, including the ones for tomorrow.

The stone resources were just awarded.

moment,

It has shrunk by more than half.

This is not over yet,

Han Yilin then selected Eagle Eye Watchtower and successively chose basic locations around Zhatian County before clicking "Confirm".

This thing,

Not only can it increase your field of vision,

It can also be used to scout out enemy troops entering the camp. Previously, only one was built outside the east gate, but now that resources are plentiful, it is natural to build more.

Here

Han Yilin just finished reading GG.

Construction time was shortened.

Before the notification sound of "GG viewed successfully" had even faded, another notification popped up.

[A caravan is requesting a visit!]

A caravan arrived in Zhatian County, requesting an audience with the magistrate and asking to open a shop in the county market.
