It's not bad, very well written. It just emphasizes superior equipment too much. For actual warfare, spears and muskets would be more practical and less expensive. As for armor, leather or wooden armor is fine; iron armor isn't necessary. However, given the limited number of troops, maximizing defense is indeed essential.
I've finished reading it, but there's a problem. They shouldn't be making knives; they should be making spears. In ancient warfare, spears were far more effective than knives. Besides, you're mostly infantry; the soldiers should be fed first, especially in that era. If they weren't fed, you'd be the ones eating. Don't talk about morality; starving people are immoral. Even in modern times, the soldiers are fed first, not women, children, or the elderly.
We shouldn't have started by making swords; it's a waste of iron! We should have made spears instead. There's hardwood in the mountains, so forging spearheads wouldn't cost much iron, and they'd be much more lethal! Three swords are not as good as one thrust; spearmen are always the most economical unit type!
It's well-written, not a wish-fulfillment story; it depicts engineering students diligently starting from scratch.
Tomato's few high-quality novels, especially those set during the Five Barbarian Invasions period, are indeed rare. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the novels have gone from having none to having any flaws. Here are some suggestions: Spearheads are easy to craft, while swords require shaping.
I'll give it 4 stars as encouragement. There are numerous errors in the knowledge of cold weapons, and the understanding of cold weapon warfare is limited. The dialogue, like a Wong Kar-wai film, appears concise but is actually weak and unconvincing.
It feels like reading time-travel novels again, just like ten years ago. Nowadays, time-travel novels start with high resources and can conquer the earth very quickly.
This fictional setting is incredibly imaginative, and the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period is quite suitable for this kind of underhanded development strategy. The entire story revolves around the anxiety of food shortages, highlighting the difficulty of survival, but each protagonist fulfills their responsibility and fights with all their might for survival. It's worth reading carefully.
It's a good read. There's no system involved; it relies entirely on modern knowledge. The main characters feel like four brothers, and the characters are all fleshed out. The biggest cheat is the divine armor, but it's not excessive and it's quite satisfying, especially for the main characters. It covers a wide range of topics, but it's pretty awesome.
This is a fantastic farming novel set in a chaotic world. Among novels set during the Five Barbarian Invasions, this is absolutely a masterpiece. At the current pace, it's definitely a large-scale production. The author's thinking is meticulous, and the content is rich; I don't want to skip any parts. A must-read!
