Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 76
The next day, early morning.

The Doulu Army in Shazhou City finally set off at the urging of the military judge.

Morale is a mysterious and mysterious thing. During the period of classical warfare, morale had a crucial influence on the battle situation.

When going out for an expedition, one should pay attention to a righteous name. If one goes out of the city to fight the Tibetans, the morale of the Doulu army must be high. The Tibetans are the sworn enemy of the Longyou Han people in the Tang Dynasty, and they invade the border and plunder the population every year.

After the government soldiers were defeated, the Doulu army also recruited good local sons. These families had feuds with Tubo. As long as they were fighting Tubo, their morale would be high, and the whole army wanted to fight.

But what are you doing out of town now?Take back the saltworks that were seized by bandits?
Lieutenant Sha said this to the soldiers before the expedition, but the well-informed soldiers had already spread the word in the barracks. It was not the bandits who occupied the salt field, but the army of King Jianning of Guazhou.

The salt field is a piece of fat, but what does it have to do with us ordinary soldiers?
The soldiers saw that King Jianning of Guazhou occupied the salt field, and Colonel Sha organized an army to rob it. This was because the upper echelons were fighting for power.

How could morale be so high for such a thing?

The reward money that Colonel Sha gave out before the expedition was not enough, he just said that after the salt field was captured, the reward for the battle was "taken by the army itself".

What's the difference between this and Jia Sishun who couldn't pay the bounty, and had to grab the spoils by himself.

What if it doesn't work out?Isn't that just fighting for nothing?
Doulu's army was dragging their feet. Although Sha Xiaowei knew that soldiers were expensive, there was nothing he could do about it.

The three monks had no water to eat. Originally, the five families were asked to contribute money to reward the army, but the three families of Wang Wushi changed their minds temporarily.

They all said that they were short of money and asked Captain Sha to step up first, and they would just have to share less spoils after they captured Yanchi.

Lieutenant Sha was so dizzy with anger that a thousand troops were mobilized, the reward was an astronomical amount, and the Sha family was not taken advantage of, so how could they afford it.

Simply pay each soldier a consistent amount of money, and then promise them that they can freely plunder after capturing the salt pond.

The morale of the Doulu army was low, but the players were extremely excited.

This is the biggest war ever since players entered the game!

In the early morning, when the sky was bright, Yu Chixin climbed up to the foot of Sanwei Mountain and looked at the Sanwei Mountain Pass not far away.

"The front is a good place to ambush!" Yu Chixin said, pointing to the narrow mountain pass.

Xue Cheng, who was behind him, covered his head and said, "I don't know how to set up an ambush and use soldiers. Commander Yuchi, just tell me where to fight!"

Yu Chixin looked at the mountain pass and said: "The mountain pass is narrow, and the official road passes through it. Naturally, this is the best place to set up an ambush."

"But the enemy is not a fool, they will definitely send scouts to investigate, and they must be extremely cautious when crossing this mountain pass."

Xue Cheng nodded. All the lieutenants of the Tang Dynasty had read military books. To pass through such a dangerous terrain, they must release their cavalry to ensure that there is no ambush at the mountain pass before allowing the army to pass.

Yu Chixin said confidently: "That's no problem. This commander has his own way, and he will definitely be able to cut off the enemy! Let me ask you, is this mountain pass the best place to set up an ambush?"

Xue Cheng nodded and said: "The official road at the mountain pass is narrow, and only five people can pass side by side. If we can cut off the front army and the rear army, if we attack the front army again, the enemy will be defeated!"

Yu Chixin nodded and said: "Calculating the time, the enemy army has just set off and will arrive at the mountain pass tomorrow. The enemy doesn't know that our reaction is so fast, if we do the calculation mentally or not, this battle will definitely be won!"

At the Sanwei Mountain Pass, Qin Chuan led the players to excavate rocks.

Knocking open the rock with a hammer and chisel, Qin Chuan carefully buried the white explosives into the rock.

Panting, a player chiseled away the rocks, leaned over to Qin Chuan and asked, "Captain, can these explosives blow up the rocks?"

"How do I know, I never bombed a mountain!" Qin Chuan said angrily.

Since entering this game, I have become attached to civil engineering.

It's nothing more than mining, building factories and building camps, but now they want to bury explosives!

This time I did all the civil engineering work again!

Since Cui Ruoyun completed the standard explosive formula and formulated a standardized explosive manufacturing process.

Li Yan immediately ordered players who knew chemical engineering to set up a "Gunpowder Bureau" outside Guazhou City, which was responsible for the production of explosives.

For this expedition, Yu Chixin naturally brought all the gunpowder in the Gunpowder Bureau's inventory.

"Absolutely no problem! I have calculated that this explosion will definitely break the rocks!" A player who was chiseling the mountain raised his head and said.

"Shut up! Digging the mountain! It's your boy who insists on blowing up the mountain, and the brothers have been chiseling for a long time!" Qin Chuan said angrily.

Yu Junjie lowered his head depressedly, he was the one who came up with the plan of blowing up the mountain with explosives.

Yu Junjie, a postgraduate student of Zhengzong School of Civil Engineering, his major is relatively small, called directional blasting.

Zhashan is also a professional counterpart for him, but after proposing this plan, the brothers in the engineering team suffered.

Qin Chuan and the others had just finished building the camp when they were caught digging mountains to buy explosives.

The agreed horse gallops!What about the decisive battle with thousands of people on the same screen?

Why is it Lao Tzu's turn to dig the ground, build walls and mountains, and play a game as a cow and horse!

If it weren't for the fact that there are too many contribution points, who would do this!
Before sunset, Qin Chuan and other players finally buried the explosives in the rocks, and they ambush next to the blasting point, lurking on Sanwei Mountain.

Sure enough, as Yu Chixin expected, Colonel Sha still sent scouts to investigate whether there was an ambush near Sanwei Mountain Pass.

It's just that Colonel Sha was investigating a large army. The players like Qin Chuan were hiding in the mountains, and the scouts didn't find them at all.

A few scouts stayed at Sanwei Mountain Pass, and it was getting late. These scouts did not see the player camp hidden in the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The remaining scouts immediately reported to Colonel Sha.

Hearing the scout's report, Captain Sha heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that the older he was, the less courageous he was.

Bing is very fast, and no matter how fast the Jianning King's army in Yanchi has information, it is impossible to go out on their own first, right?

As long as we reach Yanchi, the nearby terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend, and if I fight against five hundred with one thousand, isn't that my advantage?

Captain Sha couldn't help thinking about it, or else he took the opportunity to attack Guazhou City and capture the troublesome King Jianning?Come to hold King Jianning to order Longyou?Also ask the court for a Jiedu Shi Dangdang?

Or dedicate this King Jianning to the prince, so as to create a future for future generations?
The more Colonel Sha thinks about it, the more he feels that this is an opportunity. King Jianning only has such an army of Moli. As long as his main force is destroyed, the Doulu army can occupy Guazhou in the name of Chunfang!
Lieutenant Sha urged his men to speed up the march, set off early tomorrow morning, cross the Sanwei Mountain Pass, and go straight to the Yanchi salt field camp!
