Start a city building order

Chapter 10
After reading these three messages, Li Si felt no surprise, only shock.

Because he really didn't expect the worst to happen.

Those aristocratic families really have a way to obtain the luck of the kingdom, and really have a way to use the luck of the kingdom.

He also finally understood why the two generations of emperors of the Yan Kingdom did not dare to take action against these aristocratic families easily, because the cards their opponents had were really terrifying.

The Lu family in Lucheng is just one of the twelve small and medium-sized aristocratic families. They can all train thousands of children and private soldiers, and they can use the kingdom's luck to train excellent children of the clan. Then the Cui family in Anxi, the Song family in Jiangnan, and the Wang family in Ningcheng, What about the Zhang family in Acropolis, the Su family in Shuzhou, and the Tang family in Nanzhou, the six great families that have been passed down for thousands of years?
One must know that the Daqian Empire only lasted for less than 400 years, so how much luck has the six great families accumulated in the millennium?

"It feels like I stabbed a hornet's nest."

Li Si's face was gloomy, because he had confirmed one more thing just now, among the 50 private soldiers of Lu's children led by Lu Zihao, 5 of them were all rank [-] soldiers.

Fortunately, these 50 people plus Lu Zihao were all shot to death at the beginning, otherwise, this ambush might have another accident.

"I have to unlock the high-level arms of Yan Kingdom."

The pressure in Li Si's heart doubled.

At this time, he opened the simple data panel.

Today's battle went very smoothly, Zhao Shan's cavalry battalion only lost two cavalrymen.

In addition to this is a comprehensive upgrade.

In Huang Zhong's shooting battalion, another 64 rangers were upgraded, and Li Si immediately promoted all of them to ranger captains. So far, there are as many as 142 senior shooters on his side.

The effect of this concentrated fire shooting will be even more terrifying.

Then there is Zhao Shan's cavalry battalion. In addition to the soldiers who died in battle, there are 22 second-level cavalry who can be upgraded.

Li Si promoted them all, so far, he has 44 third-level heavy cavalry under his command.

However, Zhao Shan and other 22 previous level 3 heavy cavalry had also been significantly improved because of tonight's killing. Unfortunately, due to the lack of unlocking of higher-level units, they could not be promoted.

Li Si hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and spent 2 points of Kingdom Luck to unlock the noble units in the Yan State's troop tree, that is, level 3 heavy cavalry, which can be upgraded to level 4 Yan State heavy knights.

This level 4 heavy knight is terrible. First of all, each knight needs two strong horses, two pack horses, and two attendants. The equipment includes iron helmets, iron armor, iron leggings, and horses. Horse armor, heavy lances, heavy sabers, or flails, maces and other weapons required for charging.

If you are not prepared for the same, you will not be able to upgrade.

To be honest, seeing such harsh conditions, Li Si was really a little confused. Fortunately, he captured a large number of high-quality horses from the black-toothed barbarians in the previous battle. It is not a problem to choose more than 100 of the strongest horses.

As for the iron full body armor, even the elite black cavalry barbarians of the Black Tooth King were not equipped with it, but among the Lu family's elite soldiers led by Lu Zihao, fifty of the strongest Lu family's elite soldiers wore this kind of iron full body armor , with a total weight of more than 80 kilograms.

At that time, if these fifty elite soldiers of the Lu family hadn't been the first group to eat meat and drink, and took off their iron helmets and visors, they really wouldn't have been able to shoot them to death.

This reminded Li Si again that he really couldn't rely on long-range troops in any situation, because if he encountered such iron cans on the frontal battlefield, even the ranger captain couldn't shoot them to death.

It must be a more powerful heavy crossbow, or a catapult, or the corresponding heavy infantry, or a heavy knight.

At this time, without saying a word, Li Si immediately recruited 20 craftsmen, and together with the previous 10 craftsmen, they transformed the horse armor overnight.

There are not too high requirements for making horse armor, that is, you only need to dismantle the broken iron pieces of the armor and re-weave them according to the shape of the horse.

In addition, a layer of silk cloth + silk horse clothes should be draped inside the horse armor.

In short very cumbersome.

Fortunately, Li Si only needs 22 sets of horse armor and horse clothes at present, and he still has a lot of armor accumulated in his hands.

As for the attendants, Li Si was very decisive. He recruited 44 swordsmen to join the cavalry battalion. They were the attendants of the heavily armored knights. They were not only responsible for daily armor, but also for ground battles. Once the knights of one's side were caught in a fight, they had to pounce on them. cover.

It is the most primitive infantry-tank coordination tactic.

Of course, this heavy knight must be used at the most critical moment.

"It's a pity that I still can't raise the hearts of the people. How about summoning a cavalry general like Lu Bu or Zhao Yun?"

Looking up at the starry sky, Li Si drooled excitedly.

This night is not destined to be peaceful.

In the middle of the night, the kind old gentleman Lu Zixin finally passed away, but he passed away peacefully without any regrets.

The corpses of Lu Zihao and Lu's children's private soldiers were buried in the spirit of humanism, and Li Si personally ordered them to be buried, and it was the recruits who did it.

Of course, in addition to burying the corpses, Li Si also ordered more than 1000 hired young men and more than a thousand refugees to dig a horse pit overnight three miles north of Xujia Village.

The kind that traps horse legs.

At the same time, Li Si also listened to Huang Zhong's suggestion to cut down trees to make a large number of refusal horses, all in order to deal with the second wave of Black Tooth King's pursuers who were about to go south.

This wave of chasing soldiers will be very difficult to deal with, but even so, they are still one of Li Si's good fortune boys.

Yes, one of them.

So far, two Shancai boys have successfully arrived, and this is the last one.

Before dawn the next day, Li Si asked Huang Yu from the scout battalion to go directly north to Xishan Town and Wangzhuang Town with gold and silver, and go there to hire a large number of people. One silver coin, pay half on the spot, as much as you can hire.

Li Si's move was actually uneasy and well-intentioned.

Because if the second wave of the Black Tooth King's pursuers arrives, no matter whether they attack from the east pass or simply chase them from the official road, then the three towns of Wangzhuang Town, Huangzhuangji, and even Xishan Town will all be killed. will suffer catastrophe.

But so far, the Lu family in Lucheng has not issued a clear official order, whether to evacuate the people, or send the army to the north, none of them.

Of course, the efficiency of information dissemination in this era must be considered.

In short, Li Si is now using this method to attract a large number of people, so that he can avoid being slaughtered by the barbarians to the greatest extent. Of course, this is also using this not-so-bright method to turn these people who used to live and work in peace and contentment into homeless people. returning refugees.

Miserable is a bit miserable, but at least there is hope.

In addition, he also told Huang Yu that he must return before noon, but left a wooden sign saying "The fourth prince is waiting in Xujia Village, the barbarians dare to fight" and 350 ferocious barbarian heads at an obvious location in the south of Wangzhuang Town. Look, this is to prevent accidents, what if this boy of good fortune plunges headlong into Lucheng?
In fact, at around nine o'clock in the morning, the top of Ax Mountain in the northeast was lit with smoke, which indicated that the second wave of the Black Tooth King's pursuers had entered within a hundred miles.

It can only be said that it came so fast, and the possibility that those defeated soldiers just met the second batch of pursuers cannot be ruled out.

"Hurry up and dig horse pits! The more the better, put all the horses in front of the lonely king!"

"General Huang, you lead the Shesheng Battalion and the Swordsmen Battalion and are responsible for defending the Eastern Front!"

"Zhao Shan, your cavalry battalion hurry up and rest."

"What? People in Xujia Village demanded compensation for the crops in the farmland? No problem, Gu Wang bought them all, and even the crops in Xishan Town were also bought by me!"

Li Si, who had changed into a chain mail armor, personally commanded, no matter whether it was useful or not.

Fortunately, at this time, the 22 level 4 heavy armored knights have been armed from head to toe, and the upgrade has been successfully completed. They will be a big killer for Li Si, and they are hidden in Luming Mountain.

The three-mile-long area from Xujia Village to the north is very flat without any horse traps. This is their preset battlefield.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, hundreds of artisans recruited from Xishan Town, Wangzhuang Town, and Huangzhuang Ji with a lot of money arrived. They were recruited yesterday morning. It was only this morning that I left, so I rushed here at this moment.

And after this group of craftsmen, there are more ordinary people who have been hired with a lot of money, ranging from white-haired old men to children. After all, one silver coin a day is given. Where can such a good thing be found?

Of course, there are still some people who are skeptical about this, or some wealthy households dismiss it.

Some mayors even sent people to Lucheng to report.

But that's not what Li Si can consider.

Even more gloomy, if Li Si extorts the wealth of these wealthy households, the popularity of the people will only decline, but if it is snatched by the barbarians and he destroys the barbarians, the wealth will be wiped out.

There is no way, Li Si, the fleeing prince, started poorly and poorly. Without this method, how can he quickly accumulate strength?How does he compete with those powerful families?
