Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 6 Practicing archery, the military system of the government is corrupt
After that, Li Yan lived in Guazhou City.

Originally, Zhang Mian wanted to give up the Governor's Mansion to Li Yan, but Li Yan was determined not to accept it, and just stayed in the barracks next to the North City Gate.

The players he brought also lived in the barracks.

The two of them agreed tacitly and did not talk about the emperor's imperial decree again. Zhang Mian just publicized that Li Yan was sent by His Majesty to inspect the military situation of the states in Longyou Road.

The common people warmly welcomed Li Yan, and the gate of the barracks was soon filled with fruits.

It's just that Li Yan is depressed, if the people in Guazhou know that their emperor is about to abandon them, they don't know how they will feel.

But unexpectedly, after Li Yan moved into Guazhou City, the system popped up another reminder.

[Congratulations to the host for controlling Guazhou City and gaining 200 luck points.Controlling Guazhou City can provide 100 luck points every month. 】

Does this count as controlling Guazhou City?
It seems to be the same, the eunuch Zhang Mian obeys his words, the whole Mo Li army obeys his orders, and the people in the city also support him.

Now that you have luck points, let's summon players!
"System, can I recruit players on the designated website?"

[Yes, the system can publish the recruitment information on the designated website, but it needs to consume additional luck points. 】

"That's okay, can you place advertisements on the campus forums of key universities?"

[Yes, 10 luck points are needed. 】

This broken system, everything needs to be lucky.

"Pay, and then I will spend 200 luck points to create 100 bodies and recruit 100 new players!"

Right after Li Yan issued the order, many advertisements for the second test of "The Great Tang Dynasty" suddenly appeared in the school forums of major colleges and universities.

While Li Yan was busy recruiting new players, those old players were not idle either.

Yu Chixin soon became good friends with Xue Cheng, the commander of the Moli army, and today he rushed into the Moli army's school grounds with a drink.

After seeing Xue Cheng fight on the battlefield, there was also a wave of martial arts among the players.

It happened that Li Yan lived in the camp of Mo Lijun, and the players rushed in every day, wanting to learn skills from Xue Cheng, the "skill NPC".

This Xue Cheng is also a very talkative guy. He was originally a simple general, but after being flattered and corrupted by the players, he quickly taught him all the tactics he knew.

Frontier army towns like Moli Army have their own training system for generals.

Although Xue Cheng is only a brigade commander in command of a hundred people, he has passed the military theory knowledge.

Soon, the saying "you can learn skills for free with Xue Cheng" spread among the players.

More players rushed into the barracks and practiced martial arts with Mo Li's army every day.

However, Yu Chixin did not seek Xue Cheng for the purpose of learning sword skills.

He went for Xue Cheng's archery skills!
On the battlefield, the Tubo warrior with the copper ring almost killed Yuchixin with his archery skills.

When he learned that bows and arrows in this era are so powerful, Yu Chixin also had the idea of ​​learning archery.

Xue Cheng's archery skills were the best among the manpower he had ever seen.

With the rice wine bought from Guazhou wine shop, Yu Chixin rushed into the camp.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and according to Tang Jun's habit, the drill has stopped.

However, there were still shouts one after another in the school field. Yu Chixin walked in and saw that many players were still practicing on the school field.

I don't know which guy pulled up a banner on the school grounds saying "Sweat more in normal times, bleed less in wartime!"

The players practiced their tactics with great interest, and their enthusiasm was much higher than when they participated in student military training.

Yu Chixin bypassed these players and walked into Xue Cheng's room.

"Brother Xue!"

"Brother Yuchi!"

Xue Cheng had just taken off his armor, and when he saw Yu Chixin coming in, he greeted him warmly.

After putting the food and wine on the table, Yu Chixin said directly: "Brother Xue, I am here this time as an apprentice! I want to learn archery!"

Yu Chixin is very talented in the military journey, and those team battles can be easily mastered by Mo Dao.

Coupled with the natural power of his body, in the entire Moli military camp, only Xue Cheng could fight him.

Xue Cheng was also very strange. The tooth soldiers under King Jianning were really strange.

Let's talk about them, they are all strong and strong, and they are brave and fearless in war.

But you say they don't know how to fight, they don't have any rules in war, they use all the tricks of street fighting on the battlefield, and they don't even have a general who understands the "Code of Exercises".

But during this period of time, these guys have made rapid progress, and they are not afraid of hardship in practice.

Even Xue Chengcheng, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, felt that these guys were too hardworking!

The only problem is that these guys always like to say things that confuse themselves.

Some guys still hang around Xue Cheng every day, saying that they want to "trigger a hidden mission" every day, which also makes Xue Cheng very troubled.

Until Li Yan issued an order through the system to prohibit players from harassing other "NPCs", such stalkers disappeared.

However, some people still came over every now and then, asking Xue Cheng if he had any "martial arts cheats" handed down in his family?Some people even asked him if he knew sword energy?

Are these guys stupid after reading ghost novels?

What are martial arts cheats?Return sword energy?

Doesn't war rely on military moves and formation changes?

Xue Cheng and Yu Chixin hit it off very well, and they quickly became friends.

This time when Yu Chixin came to visit his teacher with food and wine, Xue Cheng naturally would not refuse.

He smiled and said, "Brother Yuchi, this archery technique is different from saber technique. It requires not only hard training, but also talent."

"In the military system of my Tang Dynasty, the soldiers must be able to shoot, but the archery required by ordinary soldiers is to be able to hit the target with two arrows within fifty steps."

Yu Chixin did some calculations. Fifty steps means 50 meters. Two arrows at 50 meters do not drag the target. This seems to be a relatively low requirement.

But Xue Cheng also said: "But our Tang Dynasty also has a special archer battalion. In the past, the Doulu Army in Shazhou had a 500-man archer battalion. All of them were archery masters. Within fifty steps, the arrows and arrows could be as fast as possible." Can hit the bullseye."

Is this too demanding?

Yu Chixin said: "Then how is Brother Xue's archery skills?"

Xue Cheng said proudly: "My archery skills, within a hundred steps, will definitely hit the bull's-eye!"

Yu Chixin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously: "Brother Xue, how can I learn your archery skills?"

Xue Cheng shook his head and said: "My ancestors were the soldiers of General Xue Rengui, originally from the Yue clan. After his meritorious service, he was given the surname Xue. General Xue's archery skills have been handed down in this family. Start practicing archery, and now you are four out of twenty, that's the first glimpse of the way."

It turned out to be a famous skill!
This is at least a rare skill! ?
Be sure to learn this archery!

Yu Chixin immediately said: "Brother Xue, just tell me! What conditions are required to learn your archery skills, I, Yu Chixin, will definitely do my best!"

Now, Xue Cheng was not happy. He stood up and said, "My Xue family did not learn archery. Anyone in the Moli army who wants to learn archery can just find me, Xue Cheng! I have never hidden anything! Yuchi Brother, why do you think that I am a person who wants to repay you with tricks!?"

Now Ziyu Chixin knew that he had said something wrong, he quickly said: "Brother, calm down, I am also eager to learn art!"

Xue Cheng calmed down and said, "Brother Yuchi, this archery is not a one-day skill. If you want to learn it, I will naturally give it to you. But in the past, there were 500 people in my Moli army, and there were only a hundred people who were good at archery."

"If you want to learn the archery technique of shooting two in one in fifty steps, I can teach you of course."

"If you want to learn my archery technique of hitting the bull's-eye in a hundred steps, it won't take a year or so."

Yu Chixin immediately said: "Then I'll try it first?"

Xue Cheng was also a straightforward person. He pulled up the iron bow hanging on the wall and brought Yu Chixin to the archery range.

The Tang Dynasty had relatively high requirements for archery. According to the regulations of the Mo Li Army, it is necessary to go out for exercises every morning and rest every ten days.

They have to practice archery every three days, and have to practice martial arts every three months. If they fail to pass the archery or physical fitness, they will be punished.

However, all these were the regulations of the early Tang Dynasty. Now the government soldier system has been corrupted, and even places like Guazhou have begun to recruit soldiers.

Naturally, recruiting soldiers is not as good as the government soldiers, so it would be good to be able to maintain daily training, and the school martial arts in March will naturally be cancelled.

From Yu Chixin's point of view, this shooting range has not been used for a long time.

He asked suspiciously: "Brother Xue, why don't you use this shooting range?"

Xue Cheng sighed and said: "It costs a lot of money to practice archery. The bow and arrow I use for this iron bow cost 50 Wen per arrow. If you shoot this bow three times, you can't use it."

"I heard that when my family ancestor joined the army, the imperial court implemented the military system, and all the weapons and equipment were self-provided. However, if one person joined the army, the imperial court granted land, which was free of rent and mediocrity, and more land could be awarded after hard work, so every household spared no effort to supply it. Soldiers and weapons, every family in Guazhou is proud to serve in the army."

"By my father's time, the government's military system had gradually deteriorated. Except for those of us who have been in the army for generations, the Moli Army could only capture men from the city, from five men to one man, and now to three men and one man. Guazhou is still undermanned .”

Xue Cheng added: "In my generation, the imperial court can only let the towns recruit officers and soldiers themselves. At this time, they don't care about the soldiers anymore. It's good enough to fill up the quota."

"The archery training is too expensive, and it was also stopped by the captain."

Yu Chixin suddenly realized that it was too expensive to practice archery.

No wonder it was fighting against Tubo that day. Many soldiers in the Tang army wore bows, but few of them shot arrows.

I didn't expect that Datang's finances would be corrupted to such a degree, and this is still a relatively affluent area like Guazhou.

It's no wonder that Anlu Mountain was able to attack Guanzhong like a broken bamboo, and the corruption of Datang's armaments was not a matter of a day or two.

Xue Cheng said: "You try to draw the bow first. With your strength, there should be no problem. But after drawing the bow, you must hold the bow and arrow steady, and then shoot after aiming at the target. You can try it."
