Soldiers were constantly being produced.
Spearmen were the lowest level of soldiers, and they were also the cheapest type of soldiers in the entire Empire Era because they only needed wood and food.
Its value was only slightly higher than that of a farmer.
This was under the situation where wood resources were limited and food resources were unlimited.
In fact, the price difference between them was not much.
At the same time, the spearmen were also one of the weakest troops.
Under normal circumstances, unless they were facing enemies like elephants, they would rarely use pikemen.
However, when the game turned into reality, pikemen might not be the weakest type of soldier.
Moreover, compared to swordsmen, spearmen were undoubtedly much more worthwhile. After all, swordsmen needed gold, and he obviously did not have the money to mass produce swordsmen.
As for the wood and food used to make pikemen, they were not lacking at all.
The 7,000 pikemen were the troops that Liu Yu had created.
It was also the confidence he used to deal with the invasion of the southern barbarians.
In this era, other than the nomads in the north, they could be said to be trash. Even the weakest army was enough to crush them.
7,000 soldiers, and this was to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
In fact, perhaps two thousand was enough.
After all, he knew about history.
Although he didn't know how the rebellion would go, the outcome was already set in stone.
In the end, Shi Xie defended Jiaozhou and soon became the prefect of Jiaozhou.
In the time and space of history, he and the 7,000 soldiers did not exist. Under such circumstances, Jiaozhou was still defended. Now, with the addition of his 7,000 soldiers, even if history changed, it could be reversed.
However, Liu Yu was very calm.
The entire city was no longer calm.
At the very least, this was the case for the Han people in the prefecture and the original soldiers.
After all, everyone could feel that the situation was getting more and more tense.
This was the case for the prefect, Shixie.
In the prefect's manor.
Shi Xie's figure kept moving, and his expression was particularly ugly at this moment. Even with the support of Liu Yu, the King of Qin, the situation was not optimistic.
In just a few days, the Nanman army had broken through a few more cities.
Of the twelve counties in Yulin Prefecture along the way, seven counties-Bushan, Anguang, Alin, Guangyu, Zhongliu, Guilin, and Tanzhong-had been conquered.
Although these counties were only the gathering places of the Southern Barbarians or the Bai Yue.
One could imagine the scale of the Nanman army this time.
Although there were many young men in the city now, they were only young men and not soldiers. It was difficult to say whether these people could be used as a controllable force in such a battlefield.
"Your Highness."
As he muttered to himself, he could not help but look into the distance.
At this moment, he could only look forward to it.
However, he quickly shook his head. Although he felt something, Shi Xie's rationality told him that there should be no hidden existence of His Highness the King of Qin.
After all, he had shown too much in the past few days.
There were thousands of farmers and 2,000 soldiers.
Just this alone was enough to shock him and even fill him with ups and downs.
If there were more, it would be impossible.
After all, if the refugees were brought here by His Highness, the soldiers were trained, and the young men were constantly recruited, then this was the end.
On one hand, it was impossible for His Highness to have so much food. On the other hand, it was not so easy to recruit refugees.
More importantly, it was not possible to train elite soldiers in a day or two. His Highness was still young. Even if there were experts beside His Highness, it would be difficult for him to complete more accumulation in a short period of time.
"Let's see first. If it really doesn't work, we can only talk to those barbarians. I hope it works.”
Shi Xie sighed, and his thoughts immediately converged.
At this moment, he began to plan for the worst.
That was to spend money to buy peace, as long as he could stabilize the Nanman alien races.
If His Highness was given a certain amount of time, it would not be impossible for him to go north, let alone the southern barbarians.
As for the price he had to pay, Shi Xie was already prepared to bear it.
Previously, he had planned for the city to be where the people were, but now, he had to consider Liu Yu. Shi Xie could be said to be extremely clear about his position and knew how he should choose.
However, it was obvious that he was overthinking things.
Especially when he walked out of the prefect's manor and saw the soldiers holding long hair suddenly appear on the city walls, Shi Xie's mouth could not help but twitch and he sighed.
He had once again underestimated His Highness.
He had also underestimated how much power this prince had accumulated.
Of course, after the shock, he was excited.
Yes, it was excitement.
To him, the situation had completely reversed at this moment.
seven thousand
This was already a considerable number.
At this moment, he was only full of confidence and excitement that even he himself did not notice.
It was excitement, but also a kind of longing and hope that he had never dared to imagine.

(Add a few more photos of the big battle in the middle. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a start but an end with only two stops after so long.)
