Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"By the way, what is the total number of craftsmen among these people, and what type of craftsmen are they?"

Nodding slightly towards the other party, Zhang Yan was not surprised by Wei Xian's words.

After all, with an army of more than 2 people following, if there are still people left behind under such circumstances, then Zhang Yan doesn't know whether it is because the road is really difficult and full of obstacles, or there are some problems with the opponent itself.

Afterwards, as if he remembered something important, he asked Wei Xian aloud.

"The number of various craftsmen?"

"Wait, I remember I recorded this..."

Taking out a crumpled rag from his bosom, Wei Xian glanced at the content on it first, and then continued to report to Zhang Yan.

"My lord, among the 470 households, there are 360 masons, accounting for the majority of all craftsmen."

"In addition, there are 88 people who have certain carpentry experience and can independently lead the hard labor to complete some work."

"The rest are rare craftsmen such as goldsmiths, blacksmiths, and jade craftsmen. There are less than ten people in total."

Reported to Zhang Yanlang, since the first sundial wonder built by everyone was a pure stone building, they were responsible for calculating and cutting stones, and stonemasons with construction experience accounted for the vast majority of these craftsmen .

The rest of the carpenters and jade craftsmen are the talents that Wei Xian dug from the streets and alleys of Luoyang one after another when he was producing construction tools. It can be said that all of them are from the original building The backbone of the team is a good helper selected by Wei Xian one by one.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan also nodded in satisfaction, obviously he had a better grasp of the following things.

Some time ago, Zhang Yan decided that his next wonder must be to build the big library as soon as possible.

It can be said that no matter from the perspective of actual effect or long-term effect, the large library is a very cost-effective spectacle, and it is almost a level that must be completed first.

Considering that the original building of the library itself was a stone building built in Alexandria, Egypt, the more stonemasons there were, the greater Zhang Yan's confidence that the building could be built.

Now that Wei Xian said that most of the craftsmen under him were stonemasons, he naturally felt a lot more relieved.

"Okay, during this period of time, Wei Xian, please help take care of these people's daily life."

"For craftsmen's families who can't find a posthouse to live in, see if you can contact some local aristocratic families or people, and temporarily live in these people's homes. It's great to provide some financial support."

"After we officially start work, I will find a way to solve the housing problem of these people as soon as possible. In the past few days, everyone should bear with it and don't worry too much."

After giving Wei Xian an order, Zhang Yan quickly arranged the matter, and then turned his attention to the other person present.

"Gongming, you went to Bingzhou to buy horses a few days ago. I don't know how the results are?"

"I saw Ye'er yesterday and she withdrew a large sum of gold to go out. I think most of the horses that came to our cavalry camp are already in place."

He smiled and asked Xu Huang, Zhang Yan hadn't been out of the city for the past few days, it was only yesterday afternoon that the concierge of the Qiao's house informed him that some generals from Luoyang were visiting, and that's when he knew that his large army had arrived in Wancheng.

Under him, Xu Huang also stood up, cupped his hands to Zhang Yan from a distance, and then reported in his characteristic loud voice.

"My lord, fortunately I did not disgrace my life!"

"The last general went to Bingzhou this time and purchased more than [-] good horses from Mayi, Yanmen. All of them have been delivered to the cavalry under General Yang's command."

"In addition, the Huns who sold horses also brought two extremely powerful horses. They are extremely strong and handsome, and they are not much inferior to the hard-earned horses of the Dawan Kingdom."

"It's just about the price. The Huns insisted that the two BMWs were their town treasures, and they were only willing to sell them for a price of several million yuan. Therefore, this matter has not been finalized."

Reporting loudly to Zhang Yan, under Xu Huang's frequent "several million dollars" digital offensive, many people present obviously swallowed their saliva, as if they couldn't understand the huge amount.

As for this, Zhang Yan didn't show any surprise, but after confirming the delivery of the horses with Yang Feng, he entrusted Xu Huang with full power to handle the matter.

"Well, I know about this."

"Honestly speaking, I don't know much about horses. You can make your own decision on this matter. If those two horses are really that good, I'll buy all the military horses worth tens of millions of dollars, and the few million dollars are not bad. Fraction."

Chapter 20 Too heavy? Too heavy.

Entrusting this matter to Xu Huang, Zhang Yan quickly arranged the matter of the horses, and then turned his attention to the few remaining people present.

"Then, several generals, I haven't seen you for three days. I wonder if the army's equipment has been fully equipped?"

Looking around in the side hall, Zhang Yan found that Mi Fang's impulsive guy did not appear here today, so the Mi family should have transported the previously agreed equipment to Wancheng.

Sure enough, everyone nodded when they heard the words, and then, starting with Pei Yuanshao, he introduced the current training and equipment popularization of soldiers under his command.

"My lord, just yesterday, the weapons, shields and armors of a total of 1 soldiers were delivered to us by the Mi family, and Mr. Mi also went back with the caravan at home. Come visit again."

"At the end of the day, all the equipment has been distributed to the grassroots soldiers, and the extra parts are temporarily stored in the warehouse provided by the Qiao family in the city."

"At present, all the sword and shield players have been fully equipped and are undergoing unified training according to the method you provided. They will be reborn in a few days and will fight for you on the battlefield."

Arching his hands towards Zhang Yan, Pei Yuanshao was the first to stand up and said.

Because he has gotten very close to Yang Feng and others in recent days, Pei Yuanshao also changed his carefree temperament before, and behaved a little civilized in non-wartime.

It's just that compared with those generals from real aristocratic families, he inevitably lacked a bit of background, and because of illiteracy, he rarely read military books and the like.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan has always maintained a relatively supportive attitude towards the changes of his subordinates, so he didn't say much, but after telling Pei Yuanshao to step up his training, he turned his attention to the other generals present.

"Okay, what about the others?"

……

"My lord, the general here... more than [-] horses are all in place, and the weapons are also fully equipped... It's just that our current soldiers are all northerners, so it is inevitable that they are not suitable for the first time."

"In addition, horse warfare is different from land warfare. Many of our soldiers are from yellow scarves, and they have never touched horses before..."

"The last general has tried his best to train them, but it may take some time for the soldiers to adapt to horseback riding and initially form combat effectiveness."

Immediately after Pei Yuanshao, it was Yang Feng who spoke out. As the leader of Zhang Yan's [-] cavalry, although Yang Feng was slightly inferior to Pei Yuanshao in terms of the number of troops under his command, the conventional sword and shield fighters and cavalry were already It is not possible to generalize, so there is no saying who is higher and who is lower.

It's just that when he speaks now, Yang Feng's expression inevitably has a trace of embarrassment.

Among the three generals in charge of leading the troops present, the cavalry part he was mainly responsible for training could be said to be the latest army under Zhang Yan's command, and also the army that consumed the most resources.

But in the same way, as the most capable general under Zhang Yan, the soldiers under Yang Feng have not yet formed a certain combat effectiveness. They are the only part of the many soldiers that have not yet formally formed.

Facing Zhang Yan's inquiry now, Yang Feng inevitably blushed a little.

Of course, it's not that Yang Feng has any problems with his own abilities, or that the soldiers in the three battalions assigned to him by Zhang Yan are not of good quality, it's just that the training of cavalry is indeed more difficult than that of sword and shield fighters. There are too many.

As a sword and shield player, the first thing you have to learn is how to save your life on the battlefield, and then learn how to cut people, how to cooperate with your companions to cut people, and at the same time use shields to cover other friendly troops behind, so that friendly troops can provide you with certain "long-range firepower" support.

When the sword and shield hand can initially maintain its front line from being defeated in combat, this sword and shield hand can be said to have initially formed combat effectiveness and can be put into the battlefield for trials.

Sounds difficult, right... but what about the cavalry?

Compared with the training of cavalry, the training life of the sword and shield hand can be regarded as very, very simple.

In addition to the training content that ordinary sword and shield players need to train above, cavalry must also learn how to ride horses and learn to charge and fight on horseback.

Even if the soldiers are not required to be as united as a general, just the most basic control and comfort of a horse is enough for those who have never ridden a horse to learn for a long time.

In addition, the use of long weapons is not as simple as a broadsword. Whether it is to kill the enemy with a horse or control the horse to penetrate and crush the enemy in front, it is not a simple matter.

The most terrible thing is that although Zhang Yan kept talking about forming a cavalry team for experimentation, he didn't intend to try something too novel at the beginning...

But why did he define all the weapons of the soldiers under him as refined steel?

You must know that a formed Han-made horse lance is one foot and eight long. If it is made of steel as a whole, the weight is often around [-] Han Jin, which is already the lightest situation.

For example, the batch of horses sent by the Mi family in Xuzhou this time is one foot eight feet three inches long, with a two-foot-long front on the top, and they weigh a total of seventy catties.

Is this thing good?

It is actually good to be reasonable, but it is too heavy, so heavy that only a general like him can wield it effortlessly, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to use it.

According to the current average physical fitness of the Han people, only those grassroots generals who have entered the way can charge for a long time wielding this kind of horse when they are fed and clothed. , Basically, I rushed up two or three times with a horse, and I was so tired that my whole body was sore, and I couldn't even lift my arms.

Although on a normal battlefield, a cavalry team has the opportunity to launch two or three charges, and even most cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty are still in the stage of "horse archers" dismounting and fighting, but such a battle is still very easy. After refueling, a large number of personnel were lost.

It is precisely because of this that the training of the Lujiang cavalry team may still have a long way to go.

"too heavy?"

"Fifteen kilograms... Well, it seems that I may have overestimated the physical fitness of the Han people."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yan had already made psychological preparations. In his eyes, it was certain that the cavalry had difficulties in training.

Just like building tanks, there are only a few who can successfully train a powerful armored force like the Sarkaz Third Reich. Strong and reliable elite troops.

If this cavalry can be simply "produced" like some games, it only needs to invest in economy and manpower, I am afraid this is not a real world, but just an indifferent game.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yan didn't know much about cavalry training, so he could only help Yang Feng in some logistics and other aspects.

"Well... then continue training. It's okay. If the soldiers are not strong enough, then first increase the food standard of the cavalry by another [-]%, and at the same time strengthen their physical training first."

"By the way, if the nutritional conditions can keep up, how long will it take to make those soldiers proficient with training alone?"

"I mean to get to where I am now."

Chapter 21 Three sticks for one person is not too much

Skilled.

Zhang Yan's words were more euphemistic.

In fact, the proficiency in his mouth refers to nothing more than Jian Shuo mentioned to him at the beginning, the state of being able to familiarize himself with his body as much as possible, and at the same time display his due strength on the battlefield.

In the rating of the entire military commander system, this state is probably at the level of first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate, which is about the level of 45 points to 60 points in the system's assessment of force value.

Undoubtedly, at a higher level of power, whether it is a second-rate military general like Yang Feng, or a third-rate peak like Xu Huang and Zhou Cang, it is difficult to tell how he completed the breakthrough. The grasp of one's own "Qi Jin" is a little mysterious.

But if it's just that low-level level, it doesn't seem so difficult to achieve in Zhang Yan's eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that after thinking about Zhang Yan's words, many generals present gave a unified answer one after another.

……

"not that simple."

……

"impossible."

……

"It's hard."

Shaking his head at Zhang Yan one after another, all the generals present almost simultaneously denied Zhang Yan's opinion.

After looking at each other for a while, the big brother Yang Feng got up and explained to Zhang Yan.

"My lord... the state you mentioned has actually touched the edge of our warriors. It is roughly equivalent to the level of a general with less than a hundred people. Maybe some veterans in the battlefield may also be able to do it."
