Chapter 264 Ask for help, how does Tang Dynasty defend the city?
Monk Guangde also has some tricks. When the player takes control of the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion, he has quietly sneaked into Wuwei City.
After Monk Guangde entered Wuwei City, he first stayed at a Buddhist temple in the city.
After accepting the gold cake from Monk Guangde, the abbot of this Buddhist temple received him very warmly.
"Master, the Zen room is simple, please be patient."
Monk Guangde looked at this exquisite Zen room, with fine porcelain and silk quilts, and knew that the monks in this Buddhist temple were very knowledgeable.
Monk Guangde took out another piece of gold cake and said: "Abbott, this poor monk came here to ask to see Lord Fang Guanfang, the governor of Hexi Province. I don't know if the abbot has a way."
The abbot touched his bald head and glanced at the gold cake in Monk Guangde's hand.
He visually inspected the weight of the gold cake in Monk Guangde's hand and said: "Master, Mrs. Ru, who is in Fang Jieduxinna, believes in Buddhism. She just came to our temple a few days ago to ask for a son. I will pay my respects to the Jiedushi family right now."
Monk Guangde was overjoyed and immediately put the gold cake in his hand into the abbot's hand and stayed in the Buddhist temple.
After imprisoning Fang Guan, a player who was good at forging handwriting broke into Fang Guan's study and issued orders one after another from the Jiedushi Palace.
"What should you pay attention to when defending the city in the Tang Dynasty?"
A request for help appeared on Bihu, and at the same time, the same post appeared on the Datang Fengyun forum.
After controlling Fang Guan and the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion, the biggest problem faced by Xue Hu and others was how to defend Wuwei City.
With the help of players such as Yu Chixin and other generals, the inner guard players controlled the four garrison gates. Then, following the orders of the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion, they opened the treasury in the city and recruited the people in the city to defend the city.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were originally feuding, and the people in the northwest region grew up hearing the cruel stories of Tubo.
There was no need for Xue Hu and others to propagandize, and there were people who stood up to defend Wuwei City.
After Xue Hu and other players finally organized the people who surrendered to the army and recruited and armed 3,000 people, everyone was already exhausted.
Is this game too difficult?
In other games, with just a few clicks, soldiers can perform tasks on their own.
In the events of the Tang Dynasty, from recruiting soldiers to distributing equipment to soldiers, to reorganizing and training soldiers, players have to do all these things themselves.
None of these thirty internal guard players had ever served as soldiers, so they could only use the methods of military training in universities back then and use the air force camp in the city to briefly train soldiers.
After a tiring day, Xue Hu finally returned to the Jiedushi Mansion after training the new soldiers.
"Captain Xue, the gold juice has been collected!" An inner guard player rushed over and said to Xue Hu excitedly.
This player’s name is Li Jinjin, and he is a player who only entered the game after eight tests.
Li Qianjin is still in the novice stage, which is the stage of accumulating contribution points and strengthening attribute points.
Therefore, after the internal defenders took control of the Jiedushi Mansion, Li Qianjin was sent out to collect supplies for the defense of the city.
Golden juice is excrement water. This is also the most popular way to defend the city from players on Bihu and forums.
Boil the dung water over a high fire and pour it down along the city wall, which can effectively kill and injure soldiers who climb the city wall.
Li Qianjin was sent out by Xue Hu to collect excrement in the city, and he has been busy until now.
Although he had weakened his sense of smell, Xue Hu still smelled the stench of Li Qinjin.
Xue Hu quickly took two steps back and distanced himself from Li Qianjin. Xue Hu asked again:
"How's the bow and arrow inventory going?"
After the player takes control of the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion, the first thing he does is take over Wuwei's treasury.
According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, all vassal towns stationed in festivals had treasury, and bows and arrows and armors were stored in the treasury.
When there is no war, bows, arrows and armor must be stored in the treasury for maintenance.
Only when a war broke out, the Jiedushi government would open its treasury and distribute bows, arrows and armor to the soldiers.
Crossbows and armor are strictly controlled. Although swords can also cause security problems, compared with crossbows that kill people from a distance, swords can still be controlled.
Li Jinjin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I have taken inventory. There are only three thousand bows in the treasury that can be used now, and there are not many arrows, only one thousand rolls."
"Why so few?"
"Most of the bows and arrows were taken out by the Chishui Army. The Chishui Army's ordnance has been decreasing over the years. The military governors of the past dynasties were reluctant to build ordnance. Some bows were left over from the Taizong period and are completely unusable."
A roll of arrows contains one hundred arrows, which is hundreds of thousands of arrows. This quantity is indeed not enough.
The most expensive thing to defend the city is the bow and arrow. If it cannot be suppressed by long-range weapons, then no matter how high the city wall is, it will not stop the enemy from climbing.
Hearing the warning about the shortage of bows and arrows, Xue Hu asked worriedly: "Is there any way to replenish the bows and arrows?"
Li Jinjin shook his head and said: "I went to the workshop and asked, and there is still a lot of arrow feathers in stock, but the arrow shaft requires ten years of old wood and needs to be naturally dried for ten months before it can be used. The gap in the arrow shaft
too big."
It seemed that it was too late to replenish the bow and arrows, so Xue Hu asked again:
"How are the preparations for the other defenders of the city?"
"Firewood and water for burning gold juice have been transported to the city wall by organized labor. There is too little wood in Wuwei City, and netizens said that rolling wood cannot be used to build it."
"Where's the trebuchet? I saw that [Baigong] players on the forum didn't provide shooting pictures?"
"The craftsmen in the city looked at the design and said that it can be built, but the houses near the city gate must be demolished. This requires an order from the Jiedushi government."
"I will ask the Jiedushi government to order the requisition of these houses, and the people will be resettled in the empty barracks, and appropriate compensation will be given."
"Where's the food?"
"Chang Pingcang in the city refuses to let us in for investigation. Team Zhang has already led troops to surround him."
Zhang Wu is a third-test player, second only to Xue Hu in seniority, and is the deputy commander-in-chief of this operation.
Hearing that Zhang Wu had led troops to surround Changpingcang, Xue Hu felt relieved. He told Li Qianjin again:
"The supplies must be distributed well. We don't know when Zhangye will send troops. We must be prepared to defend the city for a month."
Xue Hu and Li Qianjin walked in a hurry. As soon as they entered the Jiedushi Mansion, a player came forward.
"Captain Xue, a monk has sent me a greeting card. He also wants to see Mrs. Ru from Fang Guan. He said that he made an appointment to come to the house a few days ago to perform Buddhist services."
Xue Hu frowned and looked at the invitation. The players were short of manpower and could only control the Jiedushi Mansion and issue orders in the name of Fang Guan, the Hexi Jiedushi.
"Is this monk serious?"
"He is the abbot of Miaojue Temple in the city. He is quite famous in Wuwei City."
Li Jinjin said: "Captain Xue, how about you kidnap the monk and put him under house arrest together with Fang Guan?"
Xue Hu nodded and said: "That's right. We haven't controlled the whole city yet. If Fang Guan keeps missing guests, it will make people suspicious. Let the monk enter the house tomorrow and keep him in the house."
