Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 99
On March [-]st, Cui Tao was waiting for his mentor to come online in the "novice village" outside Shazhou City.

A young mentor appeared in the group of new players, and Cui Tao immediately greeted him.

"Director Fang! I'm here!"

Fang Guoshou, deputy director of the History Department of Yanda University, an expert in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Cui Tao's mentor.

After Fang Guoshou entered the game, he felt the feeling of youth again.

Endless energy, full of curiosity, healthy and flexible body, this feeling is really great!

Cui Tao is a young man and doesn't understand the meaning of having a young body in this world.

For an elderly person like Fang Guoshou, they are willing to pay any price to return to their youth.

It feels so good to be young!

And I heard that in this game world, three days is one day in the real world, Fang Guoshou couldn't help feeling excited, this is equivalent to prolonging his lifespan!

"Director Fang, I'll take you to the city to settle down first. There are big missions in the game recently."

Fang Guoshou asked, "What big task?"

"Hit Tubo!"

On February [-]st, Li Yan received a reminder to update the system luck points.

[Last month luck point balance: 321 points. 】

[Luck point income this month: 600 points. 】

[Total remaining luck points: 921 points. 】

"Summon 300 players!"

At the end of last month, the game forum announced the list of players for the sixth test, and all new players also received game glasses.

After this call, the total number of players finally reached 1085!
But this time there was no time to guide the new players. Li Yan put on his armor, erected a banner representing the county king, and assembled an army outside Shazhou City.

Including the five test players, all five hundred adventure players in Shazhou were recruited into the army.

The [-] players in the sixth test acted as the logistics team, leading the civilian husbands to follow the army.

In addition, five hundred Moli troops were ordered, and the streamlined two thousand and five Doulu troops, all wearing armor and holding knives, lined up outside Shazhou City.

Swearing to the teacher, three animals sacrifice the flag, Li Yan left a section to Jia Sishun and said:

"Jia Sishun, this king bestows on you a festive battle, and you will decide on the civil affairs of Shazhou City for this king."

Jia Sishun respectfully took over the battle, expressing his allegiance to the Overlord's Mansion.

Then Li Yan said to Jiang Lun, the Shazhou recorder who joined the army and sentenced the salt and iron case:

"Jiang Lun, when the army is dispatched, the food and grass will go first. I will add a post for you as a food envoy, who will be in charge of logistics and transportation of the army."

Jiang Lun stepped forward and crossed his hands to make a promise.

"Cui Tao, Shang Bo, entered our Ba Mansion as marching commanders, and praised the military aircraft."

promise!
Finally Li Yan untied the sword on his waist and said: "Yu Chi Xin, I order you to be a general and lead the army!"

Yu Chixin took Li Yan's sword, stepped on the horse and said: "The auspicious time has come, the whole army will attack!"

The drums sounded, and the players, 3000 native troops, and [-] Shazhou civilians were all marching towards the Dangjin Pass in the south of Shazhou.

This time was Li Yan's biggest battle since he entered this world, but he also knew that he was not suitable for commanding an army, so he entrusted the command of the army to Yu Chixin.

But this battle is extremely important to the development of Li Yan's power. If the army that intends to invade Longyou Dao can be defeated, it will bring Longyou Dao a period of stable development for several months.

Then according to the strategy Cui Tao made for Li Yan, he can go north to Beiting, go west to Anxi, and completely control the entire Longyou Dao.

If you lose the battle, there is nothing left.

Tang Ting dispatched Li Yan to mobilize the last troops of Longyou, and the idea of ​​abandoning Longyou has been clearly revealed.

Even Fang Guan and other ministers once proposed to exchange the land of Longyou for Uighur and Tubo mercenaries to assist the Tang army in retaking the two capitals.

If Li Bi, Guo Ziyi and other ministers had not strongly opposed it, his father might have agreed.

But after seeing the people in Guazhou and Shazhou, Li Yan made up his mind to protect this land.

No matter what, there is always a battle!
At the same time, the two hundred players at the forefront rode away from the army, and under the leadership of Qin Chuan, they rushed straight to Dangjin Mountain Pass.

Qin Chuan touched his bald head. The players shaved their heads overnight and changed into monk clothes.

Qin Chuan escorted the Tubo spy Soma, who pretended to be a monk from Leiyin Temple, and planned to swindle the Tubo castle at Dangjin Pass.

According to Cui Tao's plan, occupying Dangjin Mountain will be able to control the initiative in the war against Tubo, because Dangjin Pass is a strategic location, and it is the only pass on the Tang-Tu border in the Longyou East Road of Shazhou that can accommodate large troops to pass through.

Shang Qixin'er wanted to seize the Longyou East Road, so she must pass through the Dangjin Pass to attack Shazhou and Guazhou.

Now at the Jinshan Pass, Tubo and Datang built forts respectively, facing each other across the pass.

On the Datang side, there was a battalion of [-] Doulu soldiers stationed in turns, while on the Tubo side, a commander of a thousand led [-] Tubo soldiers to garrison.

The two sides tried each other at Dangjin Pass, but since Tangtu broke the border, no large-scale conflict broke out at Dangjin Pass.

In order not to startle the snake, Shang Qixin'er stationed the army fifty miles south of Dangjin Pass.Just waiting for the good news from the front, the army immediately marched to Shazhou and occupied the most important city of the Tang Dynasty in Longyou.

And Jiacuo, the Tubo commander in Jinshankou Castle, was also gathering troops and preparing for battle.

According to Soma's plan, as long as a thousand monk soldiers capture Shazhou City, they will immediately forge the letter of King Jianning and transfer the Tang army at the Jinshan Pass out of the castle.

Then they will raise the white flag in the castle on the Datang side, and the commander Jiacuo will immediately lead the Tubo soldiers into the castle of the Tang army, thus controlling the entire Dangjin Pass.

Then there will be smoke from Jiacuo, and Shang Qixin'er, who is camping in the rear, will immediately mobilize an army of [-] and go straight to Shazhou City, thus completely occupying the most core city of the Tang Dynasty on the Longyou East Road.

Jiacuo is gearing up, he has ordered all soldiers to put on armor and is ready to capture the opposite Tang army castle at any time.

The castles in Tubo are built with small stones, so they are called small stone castles.

The castles of the Tang Dynasty were built with large rocks, so they were called Dashibao.

Here we can also see the technical gap between Tubo and Datang, and because the fortress of Tubo is not as strong as that of the Tang army, the Tang army only needs to station 200 people, but Tubo needs to station 300 people.

Jiacuo, the captain of Tubo, wanted to capture the opposite Tang Jun's castle in his dreams, but the Tang Jun's castle was built very dangerously. Jiacuo had tried it several times, and after throwing away a few corpses, he could only return angrily.

This time I finally have a chance, the opportunity to make meritorious service has finally arrived!
Tubo warriors depend on military merit to determine their treatment, and their thirst for military merit is very fanatical.

As long as they can win battles, they will have slaves, cattle and sheep, and territories. Even if a warrior dies in battle, he can earn glory for the family and bring a lot of wealth to the family.

The priest of the Bon religion danced for a while wearing a weird mask, and five Han Chinese slaves were dragged to the military camp in Xiaoshibao.

Amidst the screams of the slaves, the priest of the Bon religion cut open the hearts of five slaves with a knife, and prayed for the Tibetan soldiers with their warm blood.

During the cruel ceremony, the fanatical Tubo soldiers finally saw the white flag rising from the big stone castle opposite.

　The editor notified Fat Bird that it will be on shelves at [-] noon this Friday.
