Chapter 240: Gongsun Chan Wins Youzhou
An orange lower-grade weapon, it takes three months to build in the case of complete materials, and during this time, it can be used to create a gun and a double halberd, which was naturally awarded to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei by Lin Sen. I believe that Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who have new weapons, will not be as easy to deal with as before when they encounter Lu Bu again, and the final result may be that they are invincible and undefeated, and the strength of the two is equal!
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei can't put down the new weapons, and the equipment weapons above the purple level can be named by themselves, so Zhao Yun's gun is also called the bright silver gun, and his original gun is directly rewarded to a member of the generals who have been following him, and Dian Wei's double halberd is also called the Halberd!
The small city responsible for the production of weapons, equipment and siege equipment is called the City of Steel, and there is only one institution in it, called the Construction Division, the director is the three great master-level craftsmen, and the deputy director is those grandmaster-level craftsmen, each with two subordinate officers who are responsible for handling tedious chores, and these craftsmen spend most of their time building weapons and equipment in addition to teaching apprentices.
Of course, the facilities in the city are very complete, not only there are artisan shops, but also shops such as taverns, butcher shops, grocery stores, etc., but the artisan shops are the most, accounting for more than half of the small city, all concentrated in the west and north of the small city, and other shops and residential areas are in the south, which is well planned!
There are a lot of equipment and siege equipment produced every day, and every city in Jizhou has catapults and ballistas to defend, and the defenders are equipped with blue-level suits, and the main force is also fully over-the-top to yellow-level suits, and the excess blue equipment is first sold to guilds and players in Jizhou. As for the green quality, Lin Sen doesn't care anymore. It is believed that in the future, Lin Sen's hundreds of thousands of main forces will all be equipped with yellow-level suits, and the target of special classes will be purple-level equipment.
The cultivation of craftsmen is not a simple matter. Craftsmen need to train for a long time, keep building things, and the proficiency will continue to grow, and when it grows to perfection, and then there will be a chance to break through the level with the careful teaching of more advanced craftsmen, in order not to waste resources, apprentices and junior blacksmiths and carpenters will make arrows and exercise their proficiency. And the tailor assisted in making tents and making ordinary clothes.
Now there are not only NPC craftsmen in the Steel City, but also player craftsmen who have taken refuge from all over Jizhou, but many of them are beginner and intermediate, and they still need to be exercised slowly, not to mention that they are driven away now, and they will not leave, Lin Sen originally only had master-level craftsmen, but now his strength has increased many times, and he has a great master-level craftsman. There are also quite a few grandmaster-level craftsmen, so as long as they are diligent, they can become master-level craftsmen at the very least, and become full-time craftsmen of those guilds outside. There is no freedom at all, if you don't join the guild, you can mine yourself. If you get a dirty face in one day, you can either buy iron ore. The cost is very high, and you have to find a way to sell it. It's not pleasant!
There are no worries about this at all in Qingquan City, the iron ore is transported by a special person, and the weapons and equipment created are taken away by a special person, and they will pay immediately, the commission is not low, and the efficiency has increased a lot, so their income has also increased a lot, so why not!
Qingquan City's attraction to craftsmen is very strong, and more and more people come to take refuge, making this largest arsenal in the Han world bigger and bigger, and the production efficiency is getting higher and higher!
At this time, Lin Sen wandered around the various cities and villages in the valley without anything, and the overall thriving appearance made Lin Sen very pleased, not to mention anything else, if he was defeated one day, and the rest of Jizhou was occupied by others, as long as Qingquan City was not lost, with the natural geographical advantages of Qingquan City, Lin Sen would still have a chance to turn over!
"Lord, according to the news from the Chamber of Commerce, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has been fighting hard and has accumulated a lot of grain, grass and ordnance, and his goal seems to be directed at Gaoyang City!"
"It seems that this Gongsun Zan finally can't help it, it's okay, this time he must be killed!"
In the first battle of Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue, the general Yan Gangtong died in battle, and his headquarters lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which made him feel ashamed, and more angry, the famous white horse general of the north of the country was defeated by Lin Sen, he couldn't accept this shame, he had been licking his wounds for months, Liu Yu would no longer provide him with grain, grass and ordnance, all of which he had to prepare himself, fortunately, he had a good relationship with the rich businessmen in the state, and the problem of grain and grass was not difficult, but it took a long time to prepare ordnance!
Winter passed, spring came, Gongsun Zhan had been preparing for so long, and finally couldn't help but want to go south to attack Jizhou, which naturally included the strong persuasion of Zhan Soul and others. Regardless of Liu Yu's dissuasion, Gongsun Zhan resolutely sent two million infantry cavalry to attack Jizhou, of which there were 1.6 million soldiers and horses in guilds such as the rise of the war spirit.
It's not that they don't want to send more troops, it's really no way, several defeats are all wiped out, Youzhou's agriculture is not very developed, although the handicraft industry and animal husbandry are developed, but these can't be used as grain and grass, after several defeats, it is good to be able to expand so many soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zhan's remaining 400,000 white horses and Yicong all participated in the war, as well as his younger brother general Gongsun Fan, the generals Zou Dan and Guan Jing are not strong, they can only be regarded as third-rate generals in history, or responsible for guarding the border passes to prevent Wuhuan and other ethnic minorities from taking advantage of this invasion.
The situation on Lin Sen's side is very clear, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao's attack is going well, and the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan, which have been captured by the 400,000 army after months of conquest, are currently marching towards Xihe County, and all the local forces that resist have been exterminated, and some forces with a relaxed attitude have also been surrendered by Li Wei, and they will all be treated in the same way as Jizhou.
Li Wei also quickly got into a relationship with the big families in Bingzhou, how Lin Sen treated the Jizhou big clan They knew that Lin Sen had such a strong force, they naturally would not object, as long as they could make more money, they would definitely support Lin Sen.
Sure enough, as Lin Sen expected, the power of the White Wave Army was very strong, even stronger than imagined, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao two troops and horses and the White Wave Army fought thirty miles north of Taiyuan City, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao unexpectedly failed to strike, the White Wave Army poured out, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao did not have time to withdraw to the camp, and were chased south by the White Wave Army all the way.
But Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao are both civil and military generals, and Xu Shu and Shi Tao are assisted, and quickly think of a coping strategy, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao led the army to delay for a while, to buy a little time for Xu Shu, Xu Shu led 10,000 people to quickly put down a heaven and earth three talent array on the road ahead, and then Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao pretended to be defeated and retreated to the rear of the heaven and earth three talent formation, the Bai Bo army came to pursue, and fell into the formation without knowing it, Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao took the opportunity to turn around and counterattack, Xu Shu presided over the formation, and broke the Baibo army in one fell swoop, And beheaded Guo Tai, the leader of the White Wave Army, Chen Zhi and Shi Tao led a group of soldiers and horses all the way south to pursue, and chased Yang Feng, Han Xian and other leaders of the White Wave Army into Hedong County before stopping, and they did not dare to enter the state until they were killed directly, Zhang Liao and Chen Zhi stopped their troops and withdrew their troops and continued to recover other counties.
The attack on the state side went smoothly, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou didn't want to wait for a moment, and quickly went south with a large army, hating not coming from day to night, and more than ten days later, he entered Jizhou, and attacked Gaoyang City, which was garrisoned by heavy troops, and Gaoyang City then reported an emergency. Lin Sen decided to send a large army to support Gaoyang City, and exterminated Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, with 30,000 Shenjian battalions, 50,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and 100,000 Qiang cavalry, as well as the newly formed 10,000 trapping camps and 10,000 white horse righteous servants, a total of 200,000 people, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Pan Feng, Gao Shun, Chu Yan, Xu Rong and Geng Wu as generals, Ermao as the supervisor, Guo Jia, Fu Zhi as strategists, this is almost the most elite force of the Jizhou army.
Gaoyang City and Renqiu City were very strong in this year, the army stationed in Hejian Country was 400,000, the main army was 100,000, and the garrison army was 500,000.
In the past few months, Lin Sen has been transporting ordnance materials to these two cities, which is enough to hold the city for half a year, and now the two cities echo each other, Gongsun Chan has no way to crack this, and the war spirit has no strategy, so he can only divide his troops and attack, and attack the two cities of Gaoyang and Renqiu day and night, and there are tens of thousands of floating corpses under the city pass. The Jizhou army has two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Tian Feng, a good planner here, and the two cities are naturally impregnable.
Tian Feng also made a plan to attack Gongsun Zhan's granary, but the war spirit suffered too much, so he also got clever and set up an ambush at the granary, causing the Jizhou army to return defeated, and Huanglong, who was in charge of the attack, almost did not come back, and never attacked the granary again, and honestly held the city, waiting for Lin Sen's support.
Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was very dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan's invasion of Jizhou, and also completely understood Gongsun Zhan's wolf ambitions, and sooner or later he would rebel, so he sent troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. At this time, Gongsun Zhan was attacking Jizhou, and knowing that Liu Yu led his troops to eat his newly built city of Jixian, and because Gaoyang City had been attacking for half a month, the grain and grass brought were about to run out, so he hurriedly led his troops back to Youzhou.
Lin Sen was still on the road at the moment, so he received a military report that Gongsun Chan had withdrawn from the army, and he felt very puzzled, and when he arrived in Gaoyang City, he knew that Liu Yu was attacking Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan had to return to Youzhou to face the battle.
Liu Yu, a relative of the emperor who is loyal to the Han family, and a state pastor, is now not far from death. Most of Youzhou's army is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, especially the elite part, now Liu Yu took the initiative to attack Gongsun Zhan, and his subordinate soldiers are not accustomed to war, and Liu Yu is a benevolent and virtuous old man, and the military order is not allowed to harass the people, and the Jixian where Gongsun Chan lives for a long time without going down. At this time, Gongsun Zhan led his troops back and defeated Liu Yu.
Liu Yu led his generals to flee north to Juyong County. Gongsun Zhan continued to chase and kill, and captured Juyong County in a few days, capturing Liu Yu and his wife and children alive. Cut in the downtown street. At this point, Gongsun Zhan got the entire Youzhou and became the highest military and political governor in Youzhou, and his power grew a lot, and he officially became the overlord of one party.
Gongsun Zhan rebelled against the old master, and it was very easy to get Youzhou, on the other hand, Si Li Chang'an also had a big chaos at this time, and as happened in history, Wang Yun colluded with Lu Bu to kill the national thief Dong Zhuo......
