Although occupying Zhuo Commandery had inexplicably turned into occupying the entire You Province, Qin Feng did not pay much attention to it.
Fight then, so what!
Before, he had been too hesitant.
With such an awesome system in hand, if he still acted timidly,
Wouldn't that be a joke?
Therefore,
After Li Xiuning left, Qin Feng also began his summoning plan.
"Ding~!"
"Esteemed Host, random ordinary infantry summon card x63000, random elite infantry summon card x37000... used successfully!"
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained: Ordinary Longbowman x23000, Ordinary Heavy Infantry x30000, Ordinary Repeating Crossbowman x10000."
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained Elite Spearmen x5000, Elite Heavy Infantry x20000, Elite Repeating Crossbowman x5000, Elite Swordsmen x7000."
"This..."
"It's acceptable!"
Listening to the system prompts in his ear, Qin Feng pouted helplessly.
Out of a hundred thousand infantry, fifty thousand were heavy infantry?
He didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky.
He didn't particularly like these clumsy fellows.
Not to mention moving slowly, they were also extremely unsuited for long-distance marches.
It made sense.
Marching all day wearing such heavy gear, how far could they possibly go?
As for taking off the heavy armor and transporting it separately?
Not very realistic!
Not to mention that it would require a large number of horses and laborers, the most important thing was that they would almost never be used!
Warfare in ancient times was relatively simple, but no one was foolish.
When you were so elaborately equipped, who would foolishly confront you head-on on a plain?
As for attacking a city?
Don't joke!
These heavy infantry probably wouldn't even reach the city walls before the siege ladders gave way.
Of course!
It couldn't be said that heavy infantry were useless; they were quite formidable when facing cavalry head-on.
But where would there be so many cavalry within the Han territory?
The only force with a large number of cavalry was the alien tribes on the grasslands.
But then again!
Infantry were naturally at a disadvantage against cavalry; they could only passively defend.
This was also one of the reasons why Qin Feng disliked them.
In his opinion, the best defense was offense, offense, and more offense!
As long as the invading enemy was wiped out, there would be no need for defense.
Therefore,
When it came to infantry, he preferred archers, especially repeating crossbowmen in the later stages.
As long as they were used properly,
Apart from a slightly shorter attack range, the power of repeating crossbowmen was almost comparable to early firearms.
"Ding~!"
As Qin Feng was lost in thought, the system prompts in his ear did not stop.
"Esteemed Host, random ordinary cavalry summon card x29000, random elite cavalry summon card x21000... used successfully!"
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained: Ordinary Mounted Archer x12000, Ordinary Light Cavalry x7000, Mongol Cavalry x10000."
"Congratulations Host, you have obtained: Elite Xuanjia Cavalry x20000, Elite Han Cavalry x1000."
"Yo?"
"Not bad, eh?"
As the system prompts fell, Qin Feng rarely showed a smile.
Twenty thousand Xuanjia Cavalry out of fifty thousand cavalry was one thing, but there were also ten thousand Mongol Cavalry?
This could be considered a pleasant surprise!
Contrary to heavy infantry, Qin Feng preferred heavy cavalry.
That is, the legendary fully armored cavalry!
This thing was a killing machine in the age of cold weapons, almost like modern tanks.
Even,
In open terrain like the grasslands, the power of heavy cavalry was even more terrifying than tanks.
Crushing everything!
Whether it was charging head-on or kite-flying, it was almost useless against them.
Mounted archery, which the Wuhuan alien cavalry were skilled at, would be futile unless it directly hit vital points like the eyes or horse legs.
Because their armor would withstand everything for them!
Let alone piercing the armor,
With the current metallurgical technology, leaving a white mark on them would be considered good.
What's more, there were those ten thousand Mongol cavalry?
Although heavy cavalry were great, those ten thousand Mongol cavalry also served a significant purpose now.
Given that he was preparing to deal with the Wuhuan aliens,
With these ten thousand Mongol cavalry with full loyalty,
Whether it was plundering the aristocratic families or later supporting a Wuhuan tribal clan, they would feel as if they were in their element.
"I hope my good luck continues!"
After looking at the cavalry summons, Qin Feng seized the opportunity and took out the general summon card.
"System, help me use this too!"
"As you command!"
The system replied indifferently and directly found the general card and chose to use it.
"Ding~!"
"Esteemed Host, random general summon card (Gold Tier) x1... used successfully!"
"Congratulations Host, you, you have obtained the general: Yue Fei (Gold Tier)."
"???"
"This..."
"A fake, right?!"
Looking at the system prompt before him, Qin Feng was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
Yue Fei?
He actually summoned Yue Fei?!
With just a mere Gold Tier summon card, he could actually summon this formidable person?
It seemed a bit outlandish, didn't it?
Although his martial prowess was indeed inferior to Lu Bu, when it came to training troops and fighting battles, ten Lu Bu tied together would not be his match!
Such a person was not even Saint Tier?
"Ding~!"
Perhaps sensing Qin Feng's confusion, the system promptly stepped in to clarify:
"Due to a serious loophole in the summoning mechanism, this system will undergo automatic repair."
"Repair period: three days!"
"Summoning functions will be suspended during this period. Lucky draws and spatial functions remain normal."
"This..."
Qin Feng's mouth twitched slightly, but his face was full of curiosity as he asked:
"System, can you explain what kind of loophole occurred?"
"Cannot disclose!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing the system's cold refusal, Qin Feng snorted dismissively.
An attitude like this towards the host?
Serves you right for having a loophole!
If I had known earlier, I would have gotten more general summon cards!
"Huh?"
"Right!"
Qin Feng, who had just complained about the system, suddenly remembered a very serious issue.
"Uh..."
"System, it's already in the repair period, can I still arrange troop movements remotely?"
"Troops can, generals cannot for the time being!"
After a positive confirmation, the system continued to ask:
"Host, please confirm the placement location of the troops?"
"Wait a moment!"
"I'll study it first!"
Confirming that the system was not completely out of order, Qin Feng was no longer in a hurry and began to consider how to arrange these tens of thousands of troops.
First, for plundering the aristocratic families in Zhuo Commandery, two thousand Mongol cavalry would need to be assigned.
Also...
Although Li Xiuning's suggestion was to break them up and send them to support Gongsun Zan in batches,
Qin Feng felt that,
Since there were enough cavalry now, why not send ten thousand cavalry openly?
This would serve as a deterrent, a supervision, and also a temptation for those ambitious young men to enlist.
Cough cough~!
That's right!
He was referring to Zhao Yun!
