Chapter Eighty-Nine: Making Wedding Dresses for Others
When the players arrived from the city wall, Fang Zhiwen had already entered the county office, and Wen Ping also led people to start rectifying the army in the city.
In fact, there are smart players who already know that Wen Ping should be the plot character of the 'Rescue Haoyue Port' mission released on the bulletin board, and everyone was still strange at the time, why there is such a task that seems to be almost impossible to complete, but they don't know that the protagonist of this task is actually Wen Ping, if I had known that this was the case, I'm afraid that no matter how difficult it is, someone will do it.
It's a pity that the word 'already known' has never been recognized in this world, so instead of regretting it now, it is better to do something more practical and hurry up to the city wall to earn merit points.
Wen Ping now understands that this Fang Taishou already knew his plan, but he still helped him realize his idea, allowing himself to temporarily control the military power in Hanyang City, and depending on Lord Fang's meaning, he is not ready to make another move or open his mouth in terms of military strategy, and it is up to him whether he can successfully defend Hanyang City.
Wen Ping was inevitably a little guilty in his heart, of course, it was more about Fang Zhiwen's gratitude, Fang Zhiwen did not expose himself, but silently set up this stage to show his talents, like a sincere elder, helping him build a ladder to the sky.
Therefore, Wen Ping's attitude towards this opportunity is no longer 'try his best' to do a good job, but the attitude that he must do a good job no matter what, Wen Ping took the private soldiers of each family to supplement the city walls respectively, and then with the help of Yuwen Boyan, he took down the guy who was originally a vegetarian meal and replaced it with a more capable person to take charge of the army.
It didn't take long for the militia urgently recruited by Fang Zhiwen to gradually put in place, although they were not trained, but they would always fire crossbows slowly, and they would always raise their big shields, not to mention, there were regular soldiers in front of them on the city wall, and these militiamen who were uneasy and unmoraled gradually settled down.
In fact,There are about 50,000 brute soldiers outside the city,There are 50,000 are the player's troops,Although the game has been open for several years,But,The average number of generals is still less than a hundred,Due to the expensive recruitment price and maintenance price,The total number of players who play generals has always accounted for less than 20% of the total number of players,There are still a lot of them fishing in troubled waters,More are honest development territories,Or in each other's village-level battles,Really dare to invest money to do plot tasks., The number is really not very much.
Under Hanyang City, more than 2,000 players can gather both positive and negative players, which is already a relatively large battle scale, like the last Wuhuan battle in Youbeiping, which gathered more than 5,000 players, that is the big battlefield.
What's worse is that due to the uneven power of the players, some bring cavalry, some can only carry pikemen, and even more so, there are those who bring militia to mix up the fame and fame, which is really shameful.
Compared with the less than 1,000 players outside the city, there are more players in the city, after all, there are more players who do the meritorious tasks of the Han Dynasty, and the so-called righteousness is still very useful, at least recruiting soldiers and even generals will have an advantage.
With the strength of players outside the city, it is absolutely impossible to make progress in siege warfare, siege is definitely the most technical job in all battles, otherwise the strong nomads will not always be blocked by the high walls of the Han Dynasty, so the only ones who can really pose a threat to Hanyang City are the 50,000 barbarians.
Hanyang City is a second-level town in the system, the wall is four feet high, the population is more than 20,000, you can urgently recruit 5,000 people, plus the original garrison force of 1,500, and there are hundreds of private soldiers, according to the Han Dynasty's siege loss ratio, the attacking side should need more than 30,000 troops, attack at least ten days, this is still the state of siege equipment, if there is no siege equipment, then hurry home and forget it.
Although the barbarians have lived in Jiangxia for a period of time, they are still only at the level of ladders for siege equipment, and some wealthy players have purchased a lot of giant crossbows and even siege engines, but in the same way, players defending the city are also willing to spend money to buy rolling wood stones and crossbows for defense under the stimulation of merit points.
Therefore, the calculations made by Wen Ping before were basically in line with the actual situation, plus he changed the original commander, unified the order, and Fang Zhiwen, a powerful reserve, was almost a sure victory.
In the afternoon, after the barbarians set up the camp, they began the first siege, Fang Zhiwen didn't want to interfere with Wen Ping's command, but he still wanted to see the siege situation, to see how these southern barbarians were different from the northern barbarians, so Wen Ping guarded at the south gate, Fang Zhiwen went to the north, he didn't show his identity, just with Xiangxiang, mixed in the players at the head of the city, holding an ordinary longbow, slowly releasing arrows to the city, while observing the barbarians attacking like a tide.
"Hey, buddy, you're here to make a merit too? Hehe, me too, my militia is hung up. ”
A young man who looked less than twenty beside him smiled like Fang Zhiwen, pulling the bow unhurriedly, and babbling this in his mouth, he was in a relaxed mood, completely ignoring the soldiers who pounced in the dirt from time to time under the city wall, as well as the occasional shooting on the city wall and screaming desperately.
"Oh, yes"
"What position is buddy, is it enough to be promoted to captain?"
"No, it's early."
"Hehe, I'm almost there, I've finally been able to mix up with the captain after so long."
"Congratulations, brother, but recruiting soldiers costs a lot of money."
"Hehe, do you want my little brother to introduce you to a guild, as long as you are willing to help the guild fight after joining, they will pay for the recruitment."
Fang Zhiwen smiled, raised his hand and released an arrow, and didn't look at what he shot, he lowered his head and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, slowly put it on the bowstring, and said disdainfully: "Cut, isn't that a part-time job." ”
"You don't understand this, right?,Although the guild fights a lot.,But it won't fight every day.,Those free time.,You can take the soldiers that others help you recruit to brush up on copies to make money.,When you have money.,Just go to recruit soldiers yourself.,It's called borrowing chickens and laying eggs!" Huh"
Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but be a little funny, these players are really interesting, no wonder there are more and more players in this game, just because there are so many ways to play, and everyone can find their own way, so they like this game.
Fang Zhiwen smiled, looked up, and saw a player rushing very forward, raising his hand and an arrow, which hit the throat of this thing, killing in seconds!
"Holy! It's a shame that there is no merit in killing players, if you are a barbarian leader, you will earn it. ”
"Hehe, I would have thought, it's called a blind cat touching a dead mouse1
Before he finished speaking, the feather arrow in his hand flew out as soon as he let go of his fingers, looked at the landing point, and >⊥ was punished, and the young bastard shook his head and said with a smile: "Dude, did you see Wenpin today?" ”
"See, it happened to be at the south gate, what's wrong?"
"What does this guy look like?"
"It's not that there is any information to be announced, it's just that it's very young, nothing special."
"It's a pity that I didn't meet, his sister's, who knew that the brain was so yin, and actually hid Wen Ping in that Haoyue Port, when I saw the task and wanted to take it, and then I heard that there were rebels over there, and a few of the people who took the task hung up, so I didn't take it, if I did, maybe I would be able to make friends with Wen Hire."
"Hehe, why don't you say that you have already hung up?"
"Well, yes! Oops, I hit a small creep, I damn it, it's fine, and I'm running fast1
This kind of mentality of the player, Fang Zhiwen will never be able to achieve, but feeling the player's optimistic and open-minded attitude, although Fang Zhiwen disagrees with it, he has to admit that in a sense, the player does have a huge psychological advantage, and the pressure on the NPC is great!
Wen Ping has been on the city wall for several days, from the south gate to the north gate, from the north gate to the south gate, but he never went to the county government to find Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen was with Xiangxiang every day, sometimes to the city wall to mix up the merits, sometimes to the city gate to pick up some tasks, anyway, to accompany Xiangxiang to play, occasionally to Li Xueyin to reply to a letter, and as the cavalry of the strategic general reserve, Yuwen Boyan watched.
The barbarians outside the city attacked for three days, and finally did not capture Hanyang City, seeing that the support of the Han army would come, they were afraid of being attacked by the Han army before and after, and on the night of the third day, the barbarians sneaked away with the queen of the palace, as for how they crossed the river, this question seems to be asked by Zhi Brain, or they have colluded with the water thieves, who knows.
"County Lieutenant Wen, this time the thief has made outstanding achievements, I have already written to Jiangxia County Guard, and carefully explain the matter here, the position of this county lieutenant should be solid, the barbarian thief has retreated, it is inconvenient for us to stay here for a long time, and we will leave today."
Fang Zhiwen didn't notify other people, but just found Wen Ping, this guy's current image is definitely not a victorious general, but like a defeated general, the armor on his body is tattered, and there are strips of cloth on his arms, obviously injured, hearing that Fang Zhiwen is leaving, Wen Ping's heart is extremely complicated, and he doesn't know what to say, but he just bowed deeply.
"Hi, thank you for your support1
"Hehe, that's your own earned feat, what does it have to do with me! Wen County Lieutenant, there will be a period 1 later
"Congratulations, send-off."
Wen Ping silently watched Fang Zhiwen and his cavalry drive away with dust, until they couldn't see it, and then turned around and took their own soldiers back to the city.
Fang Zhiwen and his entourage went straight to Haoyue Port to join Shi A and the fleet he hired, who knew that Zhou Tai had already returned, and was following Shi A to visit the dock fort in Haoyue Port.
