Chapter 15: Plundering Northward
When Guo Hao came online again, three days had passed since he returned from the last robbery.
As soon as Guo Hao came online, he felt he couldn't breathe before he even opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw a black and white ball pressing on him and refusing to go down.
Guo Hao picked up Tuanzi and threw him aside, but Tuanzi ran over and lay on Guo Hao's shoulder along his trouser legs. No matter how hard Guo Hao tried , he refused to leave.
It seemed that Guo Hao's unconsciousness scared the stupid little guy, and now he was unwilling to leave Guo Hao's side.
Guo Hao felt a little helpless, but Tuanzi was still young, and it wasn't much of a burden to have him lying on his shoulders.
When Mr. Guang heard that Guo Hao had woken up, he hurried over to report the situation in the village.
Guo Hao's battle was indeed crucial, and all the gold, silver and treasures he brought back were exchanged by Guang Lao for food.
The wealthy families in the county and prefecture towns were extremely happy to sell their grain at high prices. The old man alone exchanged enough grain for three thousand people for a whole year. Even so, for the landlords and gentry, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"The rich have fields as far as the eye can see, while the poor have no place to stand." Guo Hao was deeply moved, but these were too far away from him. He had many things to deal with right now, and he had no time to pity the world.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was not far away, and this was his last development cycle. Once the war broke out , it would be almost impossible for him to develop like he was now.
The scale of the village has already taken shape as a town, and the next step is to recruit a group of warriors for training. As long as he has a group of regular soldiers, he will be able to hold the cards in the upcoming unrest.
Beifeng Village has once again set off a wave of massive construction. Fortunately, the cold wind is blocked by the northern mountains. Although the temperature is low, there is no heavy snow.
Guo Hao first opened the system to check it out. He was so busy on the battlefield that he ignored many system messages. He only had time to check them now.
First of all, in terms of attributes, Guo Hao, as always, put all his free attributes on military power.
Next are the achievements. Every achievement that has been lit up so far is very useful, and each reward is crucial to Guo Hao.
"Hundred-Man Killer: Kill 100 people with your own hands."
"Morale is high: the morale of the subordinates is high, and the army is ready to go."
"Achievement Rewards: Random draw of military commander skills, random draw of military strategist skills... After the draw, you will get the military commander skill Mysterious Ice Slash, and the military strategist skill Boost Morale."
"Mysterious Ice Slash: Mobilize the cold air between heaven and earth to condense into an ice blade and shoot it out. Power +50% in ice and snow."
"Boost morale: Improve the morale of all soldiers in our army. The effect is affected by the commander and wisdom."
Both the division general skills and the military strategist skills are very useful skills, much stronger than the magic modified crossbow that he learned from the stone tablet.
Guo Hao got angry when he thought of the skill he had learned from the stone tablet. In the game, this skill was actually modified into a construction skill. If Guo Hao could gather all the materials, he could make a crossbow. However, this skill did not provide a list of materials and had to rely entirely on Guo Hao's own invention.
Moreover, the modified repeating crossbow is completely different from the real repeating crossbow, which made Guo Hao so angry that he wanted to destroy this skill.
If Guo Hao could manually make a repeating crossbow, he would have become rich long ago and would not even have to go out to plunder to solve the village's food crisis. Why bother going out and risking his life? Guo Hao could only put this magical skill aside and try again when he had the chance in the future.
In comparison, Mysterious Ice Slash and Morale Boost are much simpler and more effective, and can take effect immediately.
Guo Hao was very satisfied after drawing a powerful reward. Just when Guo Hao was about to close the achievement system interface, he unexpectedly found that there was another achievement that was lit up.
"In coma: in coma for three days and three nights without any movement."
Guo Hao's face was full of black lines. Although he rejected this shameful achievement in his heart, he still said "It's great" for the sake of the reward and clicked on the achievement reward.
"Achievement Reward: Feature: Training (Blue)"
"Training: The training effect of arms is improved, the training speed of arms is improved, and the degree of improvement is affected by the commander's attributes."
Guo Hao was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the achievement he looked down upon would give him a surprise. With this feature, he could train a qualified archer troop more quickly.
Without saying a word, he immediately began to gather the young and strong men in the village, prepared to train them all as archers, and then go out to plunder again.
It has to be said that most of those who survived the Hu people's looting were young men and women, which made the ratio of young and strong people among the refugees reach a terrifying ratio of 1:4. Guo Hao barely put together a team of 300 people.
Relying on the weapons and horses looted from the Hu tribe, Guo Hao quickly transformed this group of young and strong men into a cavalry archer unit. Although their martial arts value did not keep up, they were at least capable of fighting.
No matter how much you train, it is only the basics. Only when you actually fight can you achieve real improvement.
The archers who returned from the last outing with Guo Hao not only made great progress in their fighting capacity, but also enhanced their two inherent characteristics.
[Troops]: Cavalry Archers (Force 22-25)
Number of people: 32
[Morale]: 80 (full of confidence)
[Features]: Accuracy (green), Horse Archery (green)
"Precision: Improves the accuracy of long-range attacks and increases critical damage."
"Horse Archery: The shooting feel during high-speed movement is improved and the shooting speed is increased."
The two characteristics were directly to become the characteristics with introduction.
Guo Hao has tested it and found that the archers with green characteristics are a level stronger than the newly trained archers. Both their shooting accuracy and shooting speed are much faster.
Guo Hao broke up the veterans and made each of them lead a team. Through continuous training, the troops were initially integrated. It cannot be said that they followed orders, but the discipline was strict.
With his well-trained troops, Guo Hao plunged into the north, into the land that nominally belonged to the Han Dynasty, but was tacitly recognized by the government as the territory of the Hu people.
Most of the tribes distributed in the north are Southern Xiongnu tribes, and there are also a small number of other Hu people tribes. They nominally surrender but in fact they repeatedly invade the border. Although the large-scale actions are suppressed by the border troops, there are always small-scale troops infiltrating from various places.
There was a villager in the village who had fled here from the trail, and he was very familiar with the environment near the trail.
Guo Hao followed the local tyrants through a small path to bypass the border guards. Although the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit it, their behavior was still a violation of "peace" in any case.
Guo Hao asked the infantry without horses to stay where they were and be ready to provide support at any time, while he personally led 300 archers into the grassland.
Although the north is not yet covered with snow in winter, the plants have begun to wither, and it looks quite desolate.
The 300 warriors were like vicious wolves on the grassland, specifically targeting small horse groups or small tribes. Relying on their fast horses and sharp bows, they were invincible on the grassland for a while.
