The Buddha statue that has just been covered with gold foil is solemn and solemn, and it feels a bit more sacred when the incense is lingering.
Ergitai looked at the dignified Monk Yuantong and felt the urge to worship him.
While Yuantong was reciting scriptures in a vague way, Ergitai knelt before the Buddha statue and uttered words of prayer for his territory.
Yuantong came forward and cut off a small piece of Ergitai's hair with a razor. Then he walked out of the temple, raised the small piece of hair in his hand and said:
"The Lord of the Castle has completed his tonsure and has taken refuge in my Buddha."
The melodious sound of Buddha's chants sounded outside the door. Amid the lingering sounds of these Buddha's chants, Ergitai seemed to see the Paradise of Paradise.
With the castle lord in the lead, the player monks sent by Monk Yuantong quickly found favor with various manor owners.
Then other castle owners even appeared and invited the monks to their castles to perform tonsure ceremonies for them.
Suddenly, the western region of Tubo East Road became a Buddhist country shrouded in smoke.
The army of a thousand players led by Qin Chuan has already plunged into the vast wasteland.
Zhang Nan is full of curiosity about everything. As a city dweller, he has never seen a wilderness and has no courage to spend the night in the wilderness.
But when you take risks in the game, the most you can do is lose your account, so everyone walked into the wasteland with excitement.
When setting up camp on the first day, Zhang Nan heard the howling of wolves.
He was excited and worried at the same time. What was exciting was that he had never seen a wild wolf before. If a wild wolf attacked, would he also get experience points?
What I worry about is what if there are a lot of wolves and I can’t defeat them?
In the end, it was proved that Zhang Nan's idea was overly worrying, and the wolves did not dare to attack the camp where so many humans were staying.
These wild wolves just followed from a distance and did not dare to rush over and attack humans.
But it was no problem for a group of wolves to follow behind the team. Qin Chuan organized a group of players on horseback to disperse the wolves behind them.
On the fourth day of marching in the wilderness, the wolves did not continue to follow the army, but Zhang Nan's legs were swollen.
Walking in the wilderness for the past four days has made Zhang Nan's soles blistered.
One of his calves was swollen like a ham, so he was sent to the wounded camp by his men.
Zhang Nan met Liu Qingyang in the wounded barracks.
Unexpectedly, the wounded barracks was quite busy. After Liu Qingyang treated several players, he came over to say a few words to Zhang Nan.
"You have varicose veins. Didn't I teach you how to wear leggings? Did you wear leggings substandardly?"
Zhang Nan nodded and said: "I felt that the leggings were too tight yesterday, so I loosened them a little. I didn't expect that they would become swollen today."
Liu Qingyang said with a smile: "There have been quite a few here today. Be sure to wear leggings when marching long distances. This can reduce the pressure on the legs and prevent leg congestion."
Zhang Nan said worriedly: "Is my leg okay?"
"It's okay. I just need to rest for a day or two and wait for the swelling in my legs to subside. Then I can wear leggings to a more standard standard."
Zhang Nan breathed a sigh of relief. If he was forced to return due to injury, then these days of training would have been in vain.
"Why are there so many patients today?" After he was fine, Zhang Nan asked about other patients.
Liu Qingyang said: "Those people accidentally fell down when they were going down the mountain. We have disinfected them and they should be fine in a few days."
"These two guys are greedy for eating wild things. I have induced them to vomit."
Liu Qingyang said with emotion: "In war, you level up quickly. My [Military Doctor] level is almost at level two. If I can go back alive, I can at least level up to level five."
Liu Qingyang showed her experience slot with emotion. After she joined Qinchuan's army, she changed her original occupation of [official] to [military doctor] in the [general] occupation system.
The way to upgrade [Military Doctor] is to treat soldiers. The more soldiers you treat, the more experience you will get.
After bandaging the soldiers these days, Liu Qingyang's experience points have been rising steadily, which is much faster than when she was working as a tax collector in Shazhou City.
Liu Qingyang brought the topic to Zhang Nan again: "How are you? Have you upgraded?"
Zhang Nan said: "I have upgraded. My [General] level has been upgraded to the first level. I will upgrade as long as I complete the marching mission every day. It is indeed easy to earn experience by fighting."
Liu Qingyang also nodded and said: "Yes, it is safe to stay in the back, but the upgrade is too slow. As you said, if you want to catch up with the old players in front, you still have to take risks."
At this time, the wounded barracks became lively again. It turned out that a few unlucky players did not set up their tents, and the strong wind in the wilderness at night blew their tents down, injuring these players.
Liu Qingyang quickly stood up and ran over to bandage these unfortunate guys.
In Qinchuan's tent, Ma Xin, the commander of the first battalion, was reporting the situation to Qinchuan.
"Five soldiers were injured today, and they have all been sent to the wounded camp. After training for so long, they still made so many stupid mistakes when they came out."
Ma Xin cursed. In reality, he was a veteran and opened a wilderness survival club.
The club's business is mediocre, employment has not been very good in recent years, and white-collar workers who are willing to spend money to experience outdoor life have stopped spending.
Ma Xin also entered the game Datang Fengyun on the recommendation of his comrades.
At first, he worked with Qinchuan's construction company to build projects, and he accumulated a lot of wealth by doing projects.
Qinchuan formed a new army, and players with military experience like Ma Xin naturally became the backbone.
In addition, Ma Xin was an expert in wilderness survival, so he was suddenly entrusted with the important task of commander of the first battalion.
Qin Chuan said quite optimistically: "It is better to be injured now than to be injured in a war. This is also a reminder to other players."
Qin Chuan continued: "The reconnaissance company has discovered the Tibetan manor today."
Ma Xin immediately became excited and asked quickly: "Do you want to fight?"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "According to the original plan, we will bypass this manor and attack the castle owner directly."
Qin Chuan opened the map and said: "The news from the reconnaissance company is that the defense of these manors is very empty. It should be said that these Tubo people are not prepared for our attack at all."
The Tang Dynasty once competed with Tubo for a period of time for the Tubo East Road. When the emperor first came to the throne, the Tang Dynasty still had troops in the Tubo East Road.
Ge Shuhan once stationed troops on the island of Qinghai Lake, which once threatened Tianqian City. At that time, Tubo's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was quite deferential.
The previous Zanpuqiu married Princess Jincheng, Tubo Zanpu became the emperor's son-in-law, and Datang and Tubo formed an alliance of uncles.
However, as the Tang Dynasty's national power declined, the Tang Dynasty finally withdrew from the area east of Tubo. Starting from the Tianbao period, the Tang Dynasty's power completely withdrew from the plateau.
Since then, Tubo has continued to harass Longyou, Hexi, Guanxi and Jiannan areas, and has continued to reap the benefits of the Tang Dynasty's appeasement policy.
However, the Tibetan area was lax in military armament due to the long-term peace.
This time Shang Qixin'er mobilized a large army, and many officers and soldiers were removed from the area west of the East Road, making the entire western region of Tubo's East Road even weaker.
Kangnan Jiacuo was a castle owner in the westernmost part of the Tubo East Road, and he was the target of Qinchuan's attack this time.
The castle of Kangnan Jiacuo was built on a desolate earth slope. The rammed earth wall was only two meters high and the walls did not look very strong.
This was not because Kangnan Jiacuo did not pay attention to city defense, but since he became the owner of the castle, the biggest threat was that a dozen defected slaves holding bamboo poles surrounded the castle.
Kangnan Jiacuo personally climbed onto the city wall and shot the leader of the rebellious slaves to death with a bow and arrow, and then easily suppressed the slave rebellion.
For Kang'an Jiacuo, his own bravery is better than all city defenses.
As a brave and skilled Tubo warrior, how could he use the city wall to lose his courage?
Kangnan Jiacuo was drinking in the castle. This time he went to Hexi to fight. Shang Qixin'er personally sent someone to bring him wooden slips and did not recruit him to join the army.
Kangnan Jiacuo was very dissatisfied with this. Da Lun actually asked him to stay in the castle to prevent the Tang army from taking the initiative to attack?
Kangnan Jiacuo disapproved of the "cautiousness" of the big talk. Although Tubo lost the Dangjin Mountain Pass, the vast wasteland was not easy to cross.
What's more, Shang Qixin'er's army attacked Hexi. With the small strength of the Han people in Longyou, it was impossible to fight on both sides.
Kangnan Jiacuo was upset that he had lost the opportunity to make great achievements, so he drank in the castle every day.
In addition to drinking, Kangnan Jiacuo also had another hobby, which was torturing Han slaves in his territory.
During the last expedition to Jinshan Pass, Kangnan Jiacuo's youngest son died in the Tang army's offensive.
After Kangnan Jiacuo returned to his territory, he often tortured his Han slaves.
Kangnan Jiacuo fell asleep again holding his wine glass, and the players of the cavalry company had already touched the front of his castle.
The battle on the second day can be said to be extremely boring.
Qinchuan's troops only blew through the earthen wall and rushed into Kangnan Jiacuo's castle.
While Kangnan Jiacuo was still drunk, Tang Jun had already taken over everything in the castle.
Although the performance of this group of novice players was not very good, the performance of Kangnan Jiacuo's subordinates was even worse.
There are not many soldiers in the castle of Kangnan Jiacuo!
The estate owners of the Tubo warriors scattered across the wasteland are usually in their own estates.
When Qinchuan captured the castle, there were only a hundred private slave soldiers guarding the castle.
And these private slave soldiers had no loyalty at all. After the Tang army invaded, they all wisely laid down their weapons and surrendered.
In this lackluster battle, the only injured on the Tang Army side were two soldiers. One was a player from the demolition team who failed to grasp the explosion range of the explosive package and was hit in the head by a rock blown away by the explosive package.
Another injured player was a victim of the shoddy construction of Kangnan Gyatso Castle. After attacking the castle, this player insisted on climbing the castle wall in a coquettish way, but he fell down from the loose earth wall.
He fell off the two-meter-high city wall and unfortunately broke his arm.
After winning the first battle, Qin Chuan could not hide his excitement, but how to deal with the enemies in the castle became a new problem.
