Chapter 23 Recruitment Order

Li Qian returned to Xinye City for a short rest. Ten Yellow Turban warriors pledged allegiance to Li Qian and became the second special force of Tiance Village.

Li Qian was amazed by the performance of the Yellow Turban Warriors in the attack and defense of Xinye. After gaining the loyalty of ten Yellow Turban Warriors, Li Qian could see the Yellow Turban Warriors’ troop panel.

[Army]: Yellow Turban Warriors
[Grade]: Eighth grade
【Quantity】: 10
[Attack power]: 40
[Defense]: 30
【Speed】: 6
【Comprehensive Combat Strength】: 60
【Salary】: 5 silver/month

[Features]: Armor-piercing hammer: Greatly improves the ability to penetrate armor, and has a certain restraining effect on heavy armored soldiers.

Heavy Armor: Reduces damage from various weapons, but reduces speed.

Fanaticism: Greatly enhances the inspiration effect of tactician skills.

Taiping Dao: When a Yellow Turban general leads the army, attack +1, speed +1, and morale maintenance +20%.

……

The Yellow Turban Warriors are actually an eighth-level troop with four troop characteristics. No wonder the Yellow Turban Warriors are so fierce. Two hundred Yellow Turban Warriors broke through the player’s defense line and almost captured Xinye.

The Yellow Turban Warriors can restrain heavily armored troops. If the dozens of Yellow Turban Warriors under Sun Xia had not been exhausted when they encountered the Black Armor Army, perhaps two or three people of the Black Armor Army would have been replaced.

In the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban strongmen not only served as the general’s bodyguards, but also shouldered the important task of resisting the Han army’s heavy cavalry.

Sun Xia’s position in the Yellow Turban Army was not high. He was just a county leader of the Yellow Turbans and had only three hundred Yellow Turban strongmen.

There must have been thousands of Yellow Turban warriors under the command of Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang. Even the Eastern Han court’s strongest legion, the “Five Schools of the Northern Army,” would have had a headache encountering this elite Yellow Turban force, and Dong Zhuo’s Western Liang Iron Cavalry would have been defeated.

In addition to the ten Yellow Turban strongmen, Li Qian also captured alive a second-rate Yellow Turban general, three Yellow Turban captains, and two hundred Yellow Turban commanders.

Zhao Tieniu, a Yellow Turban general, is not very good. He is level 90, Command 59, Military Strength 71, Intelligence 40, Politics 11. His special features are: Bloodthirsty [Military] (B-level, he can recover some physical strength after killing each enemy), Yellow Turban general [Soldier] (C-level, Yellow Turban series soldiers have +1 attack power, +1 defense power, and +1 speed).

The attributes of this Yellow Turban general are average. At level 90, his panel is not as good as Li Qian who is in his 20s, but his 71 points of military strength are already quite impressive in the early stages.

“Last night, we set fire to the enemy camp. Village Chief Li played a great role. Bo Miao is very grateful.”

Deng Zhi came to visit at this time.

“Bo Miao is an expert archer, and never misses a shot. The Yellow Turbans were frightened and fled in panic. His contribution is not small.”

Li Qian also praised him.

Li Qian thought that Deng Zhi was a civil servant, who at most had a higher command value. However, when attacking the Yellow Turban Army with fire, Deng Zhi shot and killed dozens of Yellow Turban Army with a bow and crossbow, which made Li Qian realize that Deng Zhi’s martial arts skills were not low.

Deng Zhi is indeed a well-rounded man.

Deng Zhi smiled and said, “When the Yellow Turbans retreat, can we have a drink?”

“Why not?”

Li Qian understood that after three days of life-and-death battles, Deng Zhi had already recognized him and was only one step away from becoming his master.

If I give him some hints later, I’m sure Deng Zhi will take up an official position.

“The Yellow Turban Army has withdrawn!”

While Li Qian and Deng Zhi were talking, the players on the city wall suddenly became excited.

Li Qian and Deng Zhi came to the city wall and saw that the 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in other directions of Xinye City had burned down their camps and retreated voluntarily, and the siege of Xinye was lifted.

Their leader Sun Xia was killed in battle, leaving the group leaderless and with low morale, the other Yellow Turban generals stopped attacking the city and each led their troops away.

Deng Zhi pointed at the retreating Yellow Turban Army and said, “The first attack was strong, the second was weak, and the third was exhausted. If the Yellow Turban bandits cannot capture Xinye in this battle, they will only be used to sell their heads in the future.”

Li Qian agreed with Deng Zhi’s opinion.

After Sun Xia was killed, the Yellow Turban Army in Xinye County went their separate ways, each occupying a mountain and becoming a king. They could not become a force to be reckoned with, but would instead be annexed by the player, strengthening the player’s power.

Li Qian captured more than 2000 Yellow Turban troops alive in Xinye. He could then attack these defeated Yellow Turban troops and plunder their population.

“Ding, because the Yellow Turban leader Sun Xia was killed in battle, the Yellow Turban Army retreated on their own initiative. The Battle of Xinye is over, and the statistics of military merits have begun.” All the players who participated in defending the city of Xinye received a system message and hurried to check the rankings.

The battle of Xinye began to be settled and the rankings were listed.

First place: Shengzuo is a scholar, with 18756 military merits.

Second place, Nan Batian, with 5124 military exploits.

Third place: Wanyan Gou, with 4396 military exploits.

Fourth place, I don’t eat beef, 4000 merits.

the fifth place……

“Katsuzu is a scholar?! Am I seeing right? In our Xinye?”

“It turns out that the village chief of Tiance Village is Sheng Zuo, a scholar! No wonder he was able to kill Sun Xia!”

“Damn, the scholar Katsuzu’s military exploits are twice as much as the second place, he is far ahead!”

“The gap between the first place and the others is too big. The gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs!”

The players in Xinye City were suddenly in an uproar.

The first lord player in the Huaxia region to complete the “First Battle against the Yellow Turbans” achievement and obtain the order to recruit talents is “Shengzuoyi Shusheng”!
But they didn’t expect that the “Shengzuo Scholar” who became famous some time ago was in Xinye County!

As he ranked high, Li Qian’s game name and village name became known, causing a sensation.

“What bad luck, I’m in the same county as Katsuzu, a scholar. Who can stop his rise?”

The lord players in Xinye County cried out in bad luck.

A hegemon has appeared in Xinye County, and the hope of other lord players to seize Xinye is slim.

They all have to consider the development of other states and counties.

It seems too late to think about rebuilding the village in other counties at this time…

“He is ‘Sheng Zuo Yi Shu Sheng’? He was almost able to defeat him, but unfortunately he got the upper hand.”

Nan Batian’s fist slammed hard on the bricks of the city wall. He missed the opportunity to kill the Yellow Turban leader Sun Xia. Otherwise, the 10,000 military merits of killing Sun Xia would be counted on him, and he would be ranked first.

“But I won’t give up. As long as I upgrade to the third-level template, fourth-level template, or even the fifth-level template as soon as possible and unlock all of Aobai’s abilities, I may not lose.”

Nan Batian’s eyes were fierce.

This time, all the limelight was stolen by Li Qian, and he was very dissatisfied.

Li Qian, who became the focus of the whole event, received hundreds of friend requests, including from female players.

Li Qian clicked “Reject All”.

“Ding, you have completed the Yellow Turban Rebellion series achievement mission ‘Defending Xinye’. Please go to the [Achievements] list to claim your reward.”

Li Qian’s attention was all on the reward for defending Xinye, and he couldn’t wait to receive the reward.

“叮，你的统帅+3、武力+3、智力+3、政治+3、魅力+3，声望+3000，获得三流招贤令×1。”

It is worthy of being a B-level achievement task, directly rewarding 3 points of five-dimensional attributes and 3000 reputation, as well as a recruitment order.

The second recruitment order is obtained!

The recruitment order in his hand had a cold metallic texture, but Li Qian’s eyes were burning and his heart was surging.

I wonder what kind of characters I can recruit this time?
