Chapter 120 The pros and cons can be counted, the people are unpredictable
Captain Zheng immediately broke free from the noose. He turned around and saw a young knight holding a bow and arrow. Next to the young knight, a middle-aged man holding a sword rushed up quickly.
"Teacher, hurry up!" Zhou Shi clamped the saddle tightly. At this time, Zhang Duanyang had already rushed to the side of the Uighur knights.
The long-bladed Mo Dao is very sharp. Zhang Duanyang's Mo Dao was made using new technology in the forging iron workshop of Dashuixia.
This was hand-made by a life player named Leng Feng, who is a lover of cold weapons.
This hobby is difficult to satisfy in the real world, and creating long-edged weapons carries the risk of being suspected of manufacturing controlled knives.
Moreover, in the real city, land is at a premium, and office worker Leng Feng does not have a blacksmith shop to make knives.
So Leng Feng could only watch programs like "Knife Forging Competition" to satisfy his eyesight.
After entering "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty", Leng Feng finally found an opportunity to make his hobby flourish!
Forge a Damascus steel sword!
This kind of weapon with beautiful patterns has been regarded as the best weapon in the ancient cold weapon era. Leng Feng spent a lot of effort on researching how to make Damascus steel weapons.
Leng Feng made his own crucible, and used coke to heat the crucible to a sufficient temperature. He stacked the highest-standard steel produced in Dashuixia and added bamboo ash and a small amount of manganese ore according to the ancient forging method of Utz steel, and finally forged it.
Damascus steel with beautiful patterns.
This weapon with gorgeous patterns, excellent sharpness and hardness has suddenly become a magic weapon sought after by players.
In this era, Damascus steel had not yet become famous, so Leng Feng simply named the steel he made "Guazhou Steel". The Mo Dao in Zhang Duanyang's hand was made of Guazhou Steel.
Cutting iron like clay, blowing hair and breaking hair, Zhang Duanyang chopped off two Uighur knights in a row, and there was no curl at the edge of the knife.
"Teacher, you charged too hard!" Zhou Shi shot two more arrows, blocking the charge of the two Uighur knights behind him, and reached Zhang Duanyang's side.
Another agile figure also rode towards the Uighur rider. Yu Xiaoxiao used a two-handed sword, combined with Gongsun's sword dance skills. Yu Xiaoxiao stabbed the Uighur rider off the horse with two quick thrusts.
.
At this time, the Uighurs who rushed over to hunt the knights of the Tang Dynasty saw the fire all over the sky. Could it be that the Yumen Army was dispatched?
The Uighurs were a little surprised and confused, and they saw Zhang Duanyang holding a Mo knife and attacking with fearlessness.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the group of Uighur knights retreated.
Li Daoyuan clapped his hands and walked over. He had lit the firewood just now. This empty city plan finally scared off the group of Uighur knights.
"The Tang Dynasty Baowenshan capture and defense team is raising a small flag. Thank you for the rescue!"
Li Daoyuan said: "We are the messengers under King Jianning. Now is not the time to talk. Let's go to Yumen Pass quickly."
Zhang Xiaoqi nodded quickly. It was Li Daoyuan who used the torch to scare away the Uighurs. If they came to their senses, they would not be able to escape.
When everyone was about to arrive at Yumen Pass, the sky gradually became brighter. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how bold the Uighurs were, they would not openly attack Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty.
Sure enough, Li Daoyuan took out his telescope and saw that the Uighur cavalry that attacked at night had retreated. If it weren't for the smell of blood on his body, he would have thought it was a nightmare.
Zhang Xiaoqi then formally thanked the four people for their life-saving grace. Li Daoyuan asked: "Yumen Pass is not close to Baowen Mountain. Are these Uighur knights chasing you all the way?"
Zhang Xiaoqi nodded bitterly and said: "The Uighurs surrounded the Baowen Mountain Capture Mansion. Several of our brothers rushed out to ask for help, risking their lives. The Uighur cavalry chased us all the way to Yumen Pass."
Zhou Shi said: "These Uighurs are too bold!"
Zhang Xiaoqi lowered his head and said: "Fang Defeng envoy of Yumen Pass said that the imperial court strictly ordered the Longyou armies not to engage in private provocations, and was not allowed to take the initiative to fight the Uighurs. Only these Uighurs dare to go so deep."
Zhou Shi exclaimed: "This emperor is too cowardly!"
Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, Zhou Shi quickly covered his mouth.
Zhang Duanyang sighed and said: "Let you read more books. At this time, the Tang Dynasty borrowed troops from the Uighurs to quell the rebellion. Prince Ye Hu of the Uighurs and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty have become brothers with different surnames. It is not unusual to have such an edict.
."
Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly knelt in front of the four of them: "I just heard from your four highnesses' messengers that the Baowen Mountain Guard Mansion was besieged by the Uighurs. Can your highnesses send troops?"
This question suddenly stunned everyone.
Whether to go north or west, this issue has not yet been resolved.
According to the analysis of many players, the choice of going north or west will affect the future progress of the game.
If you advance westward, the "expansion pack" of the Western Regions will be opened. The main content of the next "game" is to compete with Tubo for the Western Regions.
If you go north, you must open the "expansion pack" of Beiting. The next "game" content is to resist the Uighur invasion.
This is also the charm of Datang Fengyun. Every choice made by the player will truly affect the situation of this world.
Those big chess parties who can only talk nonsense in real life have real influence on the chess game. This is why Datang Fengyun attracts players to indulge in it.
However, the four people traveling eastward did not care about this argument, but they did not expect that the Captive Guard Cavalry they accidentally rescued would become a key factor in the progress of the "game".
Li Daoyuan posted the video of Baowenshan Capture Mansion asking for help to the forum, and then used the in-game communication system to help friends in Shazhou and remotely ask for help from King Jianning.
Yu Xiaoxiao has completed the video editing and posted the content of the night battle with the Uighurs online.
The voices of the westward movement, which had already had the upper hand, were once again overwhelmed by the voices of the northward movement.
Li Yan also learned about the changes in the wind direction among players through the player forum. Whether to go west or north is a question that really needs to be decided.
Shazhou Governor's Mansion is now the overlord of King Jianning. Today Li Yan summoned all players with official status to discuss matters.
Officers above Doulu and the brigade commander of the Second Army of Moli, and officials above the level of Secretary Cao of Shazhou and Guazhou Prefectures were also listening in the lobby.
Before the meeting, Cui Tao and Shang Bo were walking side by side on the road.
Cui Tao sighed and said: "The calls to go north are getting louder and louder. There have been so many discussions. Going north to take over the defense of Beiting is thankless and will also affect the relationship with the Fengxiang Mansion. Why do we have to go north?"
Shang Bo said: "Everyone understands what you said, but politics is not just about pros and cons."
"That's why, as a counselor, isn't it all about the pros and cons?"
Shang Bo smiled and said: "It's easy to calculate the pros and cons, but it's hard to predict people's hearts. To compete in the world, we must not only look at the pros and cons, but also the people's hearts."
