Chutian's dream of recruiting special troops was about to come true, and the sixth-level infantry battalion was finally completed.

Zhou Yafu followed Chu Tian to the sixth-level infantry camp with dark circles under his eyes.

Zhou Yafu also didn't sleep all night. As the commander-in-chief of recruiting Xiliu Camp, Zhou Yafu was the most direct beneficiary.

Having an elite army to command is like a fish in water.

Although both of them had insomnia because they were about to recruit soldiers from the Xiliu Battalion, they were still very excited after arriving at the sixth-level infantry battalion. This is probably the simple happiness of men.

Chu Tian excitedly checked out the infantry that could be recruited by the sixth-level infantry battalion: first-level light infantry, second-level elite light infantry, third-level Xuzhou light infantry, and fourth-level Xuzhou heavy armored infantry.

These arms are all conventional arms and have no restrictions on generals. In other words, even if no historical generals are recruited, the above arms can still be recruited.

For special units such as the Xiliu Camp, recruitment conditions can only be met if specific historical generals are recruited.

Heavy armored infantry is actually a fourth-level unit.

However, the main character Chu Tian paid attention to this time was not the heavy armored infantry, but the Xiliu Camp.

【Army】:Xiliu Camp

[Level]: Sixth level infantry

[Attack Power]:19 [Defense Power]:14 [Speed]:6

[Skills]: Advanced Fenixun (can greatly improve morale when in a tough battle, can only be used once a day), Advanced Shield Formation (when forming a shield formation, defense +5), Advanced Spear Formation (when forming a spear formation, damage to cavalry

Significantly increased), orders and prohibitions (significantly reduced probability of chaos)

[Characteristics]: There is Yafu in Xiliu Camp (when Zhou Yafu is the commander, attack +3, defense +4, speed +1)

[Military pay]: 6 taels/month

[Required equipment]: Huanshou sword or Han sword, halberd or spear, infantry crossbow or bow, leather armor or iron armor, shield, arrow pot

[Additional equipment]: Iron armor, war horse

[Training period]: 2 months

[Maximum quantity]: 10,000

The requirements of Xiliu Camp are very strict. They must have a short weapon, a long weapon, a long-range weapon, and a shield.

Obviously, Xiliu Camp can be used in both distance and close combat.

Moreover, the salary required for a Xiliu Camp soldier is very high, six times that of a first-order light infantry. After all, the attributes of Xiliu Camp are too high.

Doesn’t Ten Thousand Xiliu Camp cost 60,000 taels of silver per month?

No wonder there is a saying that once the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

The training period at Xiliu Camp is also very long.

"How about recruiting five hundred Xiliu Camp infantry?"

Chu Tian asked for five hundred Xiliu Camp infantry quotas in one breath.

Zhou Yafu couldn't believe it: "Is five hundred Xiliuying too many? It costs 3,000 taels of silver a month..."

"The salary distribution will only begin after the training at Xiliu Camp is completed. And two months later we have already begun to attack the villages and towns near Kaiyang County. By then, we can completely support the war with war, and use the captured gold and silver to pay military salaries."

Chutian's arrangements for recruiting soldiers and horses were in line with the strategic plan, and it was not an unplanned expansion of the army.

The Xiliu Battalion can be put into the battlefield as soon as it comes out, and can defeat ordinary infantry regardless of the level difference.

Chutian removed 500 men and entered the sixth-level infantry battalion, and transferred them to Xiliu battalion infantry.

"His physique is not suitable to be a member of Xiliu Camp."

The instructors of the sixth-level infantry battalion single out those who are physically unqualified.

Only then did Chu Tian understand that Xiliu Camp’s soldiers still had hidden conditions. Only soldiers with suitable physiques could become soldiers of Xiliu Camp.

harsh!

Using the best sources of soldiers, complete equipment, and a historical commander, it is strange that the trained army is not elite.

Of the 500 rural warriors and light infantrymen summoned by Chu Tian, ​​less than 200 were qualified to be transferred to the Xiliu Camp infantry, leaving a vacancy of 300.

"Immediately recruit troops in all villages and towns and find 300 people who are suitable to become the infantry of Xiliu Camp. I don't believe that with the military salary of six taels of silver per month, no one will apply."

Chu Tian couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that the salary at Xiliu Camp was higher than the current salary for bronze-level heroes in Xia Town.

Once the recruitment notice for the Xiliu Camp was posted, it caused an uproar in Xia Town.

Generally, a professional soldier can feed his family with one or two taels of silver a month, and six taels of silver a month can help his family live a well-off life.

At one time, there were 2,000 strong men in Xia Town and nearby villages and towns applying for the draft, and they could barely scrape together 300 qualified soldiers.

In addition to the previous two hundred, Xiliu Camp had gathered the five hundred people Chu Tian wanted.

The limitation of special arms is not only the salary, but also the population. The greater the population, the more suitable sources of troops will be.

If you want to recruit 10,000 Xiliu camp, you must first have a population of hundreds of thousands, and secondly, you must be able to afford the monthly expenditure of 60,000 taels of silver.

Throughout the past dynasties, border expenditures have cost millions.

Although Zhou Yafu was a little worried about the expenses, he just led the troops to fight and did not need to care about the source of military pay.

His soldiers were replaced by Xiliu Camp, but he still felt very happy.

Chu Tian appointed Chen Dao, a silver-level infantry general, to manage the second-level elite light infantry.

After most territories are upgraded to the town level, bronze-level and silver-level generals are not uncommon, while gold-level or above heroes are still rare.

"Xiliu camp has 500 infantry, 500 second-level infantry, 500 Xuzhou governor archers, and 200 light cavalry. A total of 1,700 people. In addition, city defense troops are recruited."

Chutian maximized the territory's war potential and gathered troops for the spring offensive.

He distinguished between field legions and city defense legions. Of course, the current size of Xia Town's troops was far from being considered a legion.

During this period, he had fifty more flying ladders built and prepared to attack other lords' towns.

After Xia Town annexed Liangshanbo and established Liangshan Town, Chutian's territory had a population of 30,000.

It takes one year to capture Langya City, which has a population of hundreds of thousands. This population is far from enough.

Chu Tian, ​​Fang Xuanling and others calculated that they must have at least 300,000 people in the territory and 20,000 professional soldiers before they can be sure to capture Langya City. Moreover, they cannot attack by force, they can only outwit them. Otherwise, Langya City will be towering.

The city wall will be every soldier's nightmare.

Zhou Yafu was impatient, waiting for the training of the 500 Xiliu Battalion infantry to be completed. Before that, Zhou Yafu was still training with his old troops.

"Ding! The lord of the Holy See District, 'The Last Roman', has become the first lord in the world to own a third-level town!"

A system announcement sounded.

Player territories in the Donghan District suddenly became excited after hearing the news.

In the past few months, the lord of the Eastern Han District has been ranked first in the world, but now he has been overtaken by a lord of the Holy See District?

"The last Roman... maybe this guy recruited the famous ancient Roman general Scipio..."

Chu Tian discovered that the lord "The Last Roman" had climbed to the first place, not only surpassing other lords in the Holy See District, but also surpassing all the lords in the Eastern Han District.

For a while, the great lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were a little angry. No matter how much they ignored the internal competition in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they could not let the Romans get on top of them.

All the lords in front of the Eastern Han Dynasty will upgrade their third-level towns in the next few days to compete with the "last Romans" for the first city in the world.

On the fifth day after the first third-level town appeared, several lords in the Eastern Han District already owned third-level towns.

Chutian's Xia Town has also met the upgrade conditions for a third-level town.
Chapter completed!
