After the battle, according to the rules, the corpses had to be collected. However, the current leader of Hou Yi's army, Liu Bi, was in a bad mood, so he naturally did not care about the burial.
In this battle, Hou Yi's army suffered almost no casualties. They destroyed the artillery shells that cost about 120 dollars. An ordinary auxiliary soldier of the 105th Heavy Artillery Company was scalded when he loaded the shells. The attacking assault soldier ran too fast on the floating soil that could drown his calf and sprained his knee. The person who suffered direct damage from the enemy was the second company commander, Gao Daming. When he raised his foot to kick a captive, he slipped on the blood on the ground. His palm was cut by the broken bones of the enemy's corpse. He had to use bandages to stop the bleeding. This was the only damage that the Security Corps had done to Hou Yi's army.
The biggest price to pay was that Liu Bi had stopped the armored mining carts and used them as an assault force to come to this joke-like battlefield to play soy sauce. They had lost a cart of ore and caused an indirect loss of 1500 gold coins. Liu Bi was also depressed about this.
After killing Fujita Shin in one shot, Liu Bi, who had his face covered in blood due to his lack of experience in killing people for the first time, suddenly laughed out loud. His depressed mood was swept away.
Chang'e had told him that he could level up now.
The soldiers under his command killed the enemy. Each enemy soldier was worth 100 merit points, and each captured soldier was doubled. As the highest commander, he could get 10% of the merit points. The captured farmers did not count, but the armed guards did. They had saved him more than 10 merit points. This time, he had captured 300 and killed 1300 enemies. He had earned 73 merit points, which exceeded the 50 merit points required to level up to a Level 1 Commander. Among them, he had also captured the leader of 1,000 people, Fujita Shin. Originally, he could have earned 2000 merit points here, of which 200 were given to him. However, he had already destroyed it, so it could only be counted as 100 merit points. Therefore, the system settled the accounts in advance.
The benefit of upgrading to level one was that the base could only produce items at the price of raw materials. He was also given a 20% discount, which included building the base and the new power station that he had dreamed of...
Not only that, after the tank factory was completed, the level one commander would also have the authority to modify the produced tanks and the guns of the arsenal. They could carry out appropriate modifications under the premise that the current technology allowed it. Of course, they had to draw a blueprint that the system could recognize. The modified model would still enjoy the base's discount.
"Hahahaha, I'm laughing proudly, I'm laughing with all my might!”
The convulsing Liu Bi felt that his smile must be very heroic, as if he was pointing out the country. However, he did not know how scary this guy's bloody face and ferocious smile were in the eyes of others.
More than 300 prisoners of war who had already been escorted to him knelt down in fear after seeing him shoot Fujita Shin to death with a single shot.
" Your Majesty, I am Zhang Ergou. I am willing to lead my brothers to surrender. I will lead the army to take over those bandits 'strongholds and take their money as a token of loyalty. Please spare my life, Your Majesty…"
A Security Corps officer who seemed to be the highest ranking survivor knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You want to take us to wipe out the bandits that the Wei Nation bribed? Does this mean that you've been subdued by the domineering aura emanating from my handsome smile and want to cut yourselves off from the Japanese and completely join our Houyi Army?”Liu Bi didn't expect his handsome smile to have such an effect. He immediately looked up and down. Of course, no one would remind him that he was scared by his appearance.
" Yes, yes, yes. We've all been subdued by the king's, whatever, tortoisesque aura…" The captives quickly expressed their stance.
What happened next was much simpler. Most of the troops had died on the hills, and the bandits 'strongholds were all defenseless. Other than some of the young men who stayed behind, there were only the old, the weak, women, and children. Each company was led by the captives. After they found a place, they would use their own mortars and Oricon cannons to blow up the camp gate. Then, they would have to accept the surrender and arrange for the captives to move the things.
After Liu Bi spent three days plucking fruits from nearly a hundred villages, he had recruited another 3000 able-bodied men and nearly 10,000 old and weak people. The bandits in Qilu were not all mountain kings. Most of them were the subordinates of some armed landowners. They usually picked up guns to be bandits and put down their weapons to be farmers. Their leaders had died in Li Village, and their own villages had been plundered by Liu Bi. Naturally, they had nowhere to go. Even if Liu Bi let them go, they would not leave.
If he didn't leave, his family would be gathered to reclaim the farmland, and Marvin would have to play with dividing the land again, so he would naturally be loyal.
These people who had a certain foundation could be incorporated into the army. The reason why they were so cowardly in the battle of Li Zhuang was because they did not have cannons, and because their landlord leader was a nest of raging beasts. Once he was blasted by the cannon, he shouted surrender. He did not organize a team to escape or defend himself. He was passively slaughtered. It was really not their fault. In comparison, the quality of these soldiers was not much worse than the 300 veterans of the Security Corps who could surrender alive.
These 3000 able-bodied men and 300 seasoned soldiers of the Security Corps who had already surrendered their allegiance were all broken up and reorganized by Liu Bi. He promoted a group of former Northeast Army soldiers to be basic officers, and added a group of Bio-Human soldiers to be deputy officers. They were also given all kinds of good treatment, a sum of money to settle down, and control their families. Their loyalty was no longer a problem. The problem of the veterans of the Security Corps not having a family was even simpler. There were many widows among the old, weak, women, and children who were captured. Those who were unmarried could be taken as wives, and those who had families could be taken as concubines. Each of them would be paid 30 yuan in advance. Go get married!
Under the layers of suppression, these people were squeezed into a ball. After some training, Liu Bi had four more infantry battalions under him.
"The war bonus is really a good thing!”Looking at the number of people that had already exceeded a regiment and was approaching the size of a division, Liu Bi sighed.
"The conditions of the war chariot factory are suitable. Do you want to build it?”Chang'e asked.
"No, build a second power station!”Liu Bi ordered.
Following his order, 120,000 yuan was deducted from his account, and an icon of a power station began to load.
It was useless to build a tank factory so early. Firstly, the number of people in the team had increased. One nutritious meal per ten seconds was still not enough for a power plant. Secondly, Liu Bi did not have oil yet. Liu Bi had two ways to use the oil. One was to spend a lot of money to buy it. The price was high, and the supply was unstable. Because the oil went through the military channel, it was not directly under the Central Army. Other troops might not be able to get their hands on it. Whether the civilians could buy it or not was purely up to fate. The second method was to first spend the discounted 160,000 yuan to build a refinery (the original price was 200,000 yuan, and Liu Bi had now upgraded and had a 20% discount.)），Then, he would unlock the oil wells and spend 240,000 yuan to build the oil wells where there was oil. Only then would the mining cars be able to collect crude oil, which would then be refined into gasoline or diesel by the refinery. The refinery was a big eater. It took up a total of 250,000 megavolts of electricity, which was half the capacity of a power station.
Oil fields were easy to find. There were underground oil wells of all sizes near the Yellow River's mouth. There was even a poor oil well with a reserve of one million tons under the base. It was definitely enough for Hou Yi's army to use. The bigger oil field was outside the base. Liu Bi did not dare to erect an oil well. That was beyond Yuriko's scope of concealment. Once the Japanese knew that China had oil, it would change a lot. It was even possible that the Pacific War would not happen.
Considering these circumstances, Liu Bi could only temporarily put aside the idea of directly building a tank force. He first took the route of lighting up the oil wells, starting from the power station.
