After entering the second stage of the trial, the first thing Zhao Haiping noticed was that a brand new UI appeared in his field of vision.

In the upper right corner of the field of vision, there is an icon similar to a character card. There are also light effects around this card, which seems to be able to achieve some kind of charging effect.

After Zhao Haiping briefly studied it, he quickly understood the usage of this new function.

This is what was said in the new version announcement before, he can summon heroic spirits.

But obviously, the summoning of heroic spirits is not completely unlimited.

When this function appears in his mind, the card will appear. At the same time, Zhao Haiping can select the heroic spirit he wants to summon in his mind.

These tasks must have been encountered in the trial fantasy before, and different characters require different energy consumption when summoning.

Some relatively powerful characters consume relatively high basic energy when summoned.

As for those marginalized characters, it is naturally more economical to summon them.

In addition, the full hosting approach that Zhao Haiping thought of before is not completely impossible, but it requires a lot of energy.

And if you just consult the person and ask for advice, then less energy will be consumed.

As for the acquisition of energy, it depends on the player's progress in the current instance.

Since Zhao Haiping has passed the first stage, he has enough energy at this time to directly summon a heroic spirit, and there is still some remaining energy that can be consulted or entrusted.

But what Zhao Haiping is most concerned about at this time is that since the acquisition of energy depends on the player's progress in advancing the trial fantasy, then if the player relies on the function of summoning heroic spirits, he can make the most correct choice at the most critical node every time

, greatly advanced the progress and gained more energy...

Can that create a perpetual motion effect?

Well, it's still possible.

Of course, the producers of this game will definitely place restrictions on the values ​​in this area to prevent players from achieving this cycle too easily.

In short, how to use this function of summoning heroic spirits, players still have to slowly explore it in the dungeon.

Zhao Haiping did not choose which heroic figure to summon immediately, but decided to take a look at the target of the dungeon challenge at this time.

If the summoning energy of these heroic figures are the same, then he should just summon Sheng Taizu directly. After all, Sheng Taizu, as one of the top emperors in Chinese history, has his own unique abilities in domestic affairs, diplomacy, military and other aspects.

It can be said that it is the best choice for setting things.

However, it is too expensive to summon Taizu, and it is difficult to maintain Zhao Haiping's current energy.

So you still have to look at what the target of the copy is at this time, and then take the right medicine.

The fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and Zhao Haiping found that he had appeared in a huge military camp.

The overall environment is somewhat similar to the previous military camp in the Pingding Army, but the conditions are slightly better.

In the vast military camps, you can see the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty busying themselves with their own affairs.

In addition to participating in training every day, when they return to the military camp at night, they have to do some work, such as mending armor or repairing ordnance. They often have to be busy until late at night before they can sleep.

There are many spacious schools outside the military camp. These schools are divided into different areas, some are used to train infantry, and some are used to train cavalry.

These infantrymen were armed with uniform standard weapons, such as spears, axes, etc., and practiced fixed moves in the open space of the school grounds.

There are also instructors who are responsible for teaching them, constantly explaining the technical essentials of these movements and correcting the mistakes made by the soldiers.

At this time, the infantry practiced some relatively simple postures, such as holding a long gun on a daily basis, stabbing in the upward, middle and downward directions, dialing the opponent's weapon and other fixed actions.

Although these movements do not seem complicated, the soldiers still practiced them in various ways and in a chaotic manner.

From this, it may be seen that the quality of the soldiers here is relatively average.

Zhao Haiping looked down at his clothes and found that he was wearing armor and had a cloak on his back. He was obviously a general with a high status.

"So, my goal now is...to train troops?"

Zhao Haiping estimated that the scale of this military camp was not small, and there might be 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in it.

If these soldiers are well trained, they will definitely play a huge role in certain key battles in the future.

What's more, General Han Fuyue's military training ability is indeed seen in the annals of history. He "will not tear down the house to death, and will not plunder to death of starvation." In the era of cold weapons, being able to develop this kind of military discipline is considered to be at the ceiling level.

According to the consistent nature of the game "Dark Sand", the development content in the early stages of the dungeon is often closely related to the actual combat in the later stages. If you are lazy in the early stages, you will definitely suffer in the later stages.

Therefore, Zhao Haiping did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately assumed the identity of the general, racing against time to train these soldiers well.

It's just the matter of military training that really touches the players' knowledge blind spots.

They have never encountered similar game content in previous copies.

Of course, Zhao Haiping has seen a lot of things in the military camp, but observing the military camp from the perspective of a soldier is equivalent to a blind man trying to figure out the elephant, and I am afraid it is difficult to grasp the key.

If Zhao Haiping were allowed to start from scratch and try to build a strong army, he would probably have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping chose not to hesitate and directly turned on the function of summoning heroic spirits.

As his mind moved, a portrait of General Deng Yuanjing appeared on the card.

Then, the energy around the card began to be quickly drawn away, and somehow, as if across the long river of history, the heroic spirit of General Deng Yuanjing was summoned here!

After a while, Zhao Haiping found that General Deng Yuanjing had arrived in front of him.

At this time, General Deng was at his peak after being a bandit in Nanping and a barbarian in the north.

There is no need to explain the current situation, because the summoned heroic spirits are not the heroic figures in history themselves, but more like the collection of knowledge of these figures, which can naturally play the role of tool people.

However, although they are tool men, they are still heroes in Chinese history, and they still deserve the respect they deserve.

Zhao Haiping asked respectfully: "General Deng, I want to train troops, what should I pay attention to?"

This question was very broad, and even after asking it, Zhao Haiping regretted it a little.

But I have to say that the function of summoning heroic spirits is quite powerful, and it seems to be in line with a certain famous saying: There are no bad questions, only bad answers.

In front of such a real audience on the art of war, Zhao Haiping received a very concise answer to a very general question.

"Practice is the most important thing, and military training is the second most important thing.

"Training generals is like treating the root cause. The root cause is chaos but the end is not cured."

These sentences are actually not difficult to understand.

To train troops, you must first train generals. Generals here not only refer to generals, but also include generals at all levels in the army.

After all, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, the entire army is a huge whole. Whether it is daily training or subsequent marches and battles, it is necessary to ensure the uploading and issuing of military orders, the maintenance of morale, etc. General officers at all levels are equal to

An extension of the general himself.

If something goes wrong with these people, then no matter how long they practice, it will be in vain.

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he felt that this heroic spirit summoning function was quite worthwhile.

In fact, what General Deng said is a bit vague, and it sounds like some kind of truth that anyone can think of.

But the key to doing many things well is often hidden in these truths.

Many people may understand a certain truth, but how important is this truth? What is its priority with other truths? If two truths conflict, how should we choose?

This is the difference between genius and mediocrity.

Zhao Haiping asked again: "General Deng, if you want to train a general, where should you start?"

General Deng still answered naturally: "The method of binding troops is the foundation of building an army.

"When building an army, you first select soldiers, use the soldiers to screen the generals, then use the generals to select the soldiers, and then the law of binding the troops is determined."

The so-called method of binding the army is actually a discussion of how to build an army.

Although most of what General Deng said had the characteristics of his era and was relatively refined and obscure, Zhao Haiping could still clearly understand the meaning due to the characteristics of the game "Dark Sand".

General Deng did not just talk in general terms, but also stated the steps and details in detail.

Zhao Haiping listened carefully while keeping the technical essentials in mind.

According to General Deng, to build a strong army, we must start by selecting soldiers at the grassroots level.

You can't choose those who are slick and cunning in big cities, nor can you choose someone who is born with martial arts and a green forest habit.

As for those with rich combat experience, they should be selected carefully, because these people will know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If they have made meritorious deeds, they can be considered accordingly, while others can only be ranked second-class.

As for the first-class soldiers, they must be honest people from the countryside. It is best to have dark skin, tall body, hard life, strong muscles, and a native color formed by years of hard work.

For soldiers, personal martial arts is not important. The most important thing is whether they are physically strong, honest and obedient, and whether they can obey orders and prohibitions.

After enough grassroots soldiers are selected, generals at all levels can be further selected from these people.

Of course, as a general, you don't need to screen out every level of generals, you only need to screen out the level you directly command.

For example, I only have the bosses under the players, and then I have these bosses go to the whistles under the players, and then I have these whistles go to the flag bosses under the players...

After such layer-by-layer selection, the overall framework of the entire army will be established.

The advantage of such selection is that superiors and subordinates understand each other, and it is easier to form cohesion and a sense of collective honor.

After the entire large framework is set up, daily training can be carried out.

For example, practice the tactics of various weapons, practice various formations, conduct ideological education, etc.

These are relatively details and are not things that Zhao Haiping needs to pay attention to for the time being.
To be continued...
