"General Yu, this Le'an country is reckless and wars everywhere. After several large and small battles, there was not much grain and grass left in the warehouse, and after several investigations by the generals, there were only 356 stones, 6 buckets and 7 liters of grain and grass.

However, there was a lot of gold and silver in the treasury, and there were two hundred and fifty-four taels of gold, three thousand six hundred and eighty-one taels of silver, and six thousand seven hundred and eighty-six taels of copper. One hundred and seventy-three treasures made of jade, jade, agate, etc. In addition, there are more than ten strange objects, which were sealed in the secret vault by Sun Ru. ”

Dong Yan got up and reported to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, frowned, and asked at the moment, "Don't you have any extra armor?"

"No, at present, there is no idle armor in the Le'an treasury, according to the officials in charge of the treasury, all the armor in the treasury has already been issued by Sun Ru to the sergeants under his command. We have only captured a few hundred pairs from the 1,000 defenders of Le'an. ”

"I see......"

Zhao Yun nodded helplessly, like Sun Ru, he went to war everywhere, and the number of equipment left in the treasury was normal, no matter what, at least the money was more than ten times more than that of Qianguo. And this is also thanks to Sun Ru's expropriation and expropriation, the crime is borne by Le Anguo, but the things are returned to Qianguo.

"Mr. Elk, once Le'an City is breached by Sun Ru, I am afraid that you will also be affected by the Le'an army. With the grain and grass reserves in the city, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days, and I hope that Mr. can go again and gather some military rations for us. When our army is victorious, we will return it in full! ”

After counting the grain and grass in his hand, Zhao Yun could only ask Elfang for help. And Elfang also heard the meaning of Zhao Yun's words. And just as Zhao Yun said, now that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, Elfang must not be able to ignore the cadres.

In this regard, Lu Fang did not refuse, and immediately wrote a letter and sent a messenger to Nanshan Town. It's just that Zhao Yun and the others still underestimated Sun Ru's actions, and before the other party came back, Sun Ru's army was already in the city.

On January 10 of Wujing year, Sun Ru came to Le'an County with 40,000 soldiers, while Zhao Yun took more than 10,000 men and horses to defend Le'an City.

Zhao Yun's idea is very simple, that is, to stick to the city first and frustrate the enemy's spirit. When the opponent runs out of food and retreats, he will counterattack again.

However, his arrangement was seen through by Sun Ru at a glance. Although Sun Ru has a brutal personality, after several battles, he still has this bit of eyesight. Just from the information fed back by the scouts, he judged Zhao Yun's plan. Facing the fortified city in front of him, Sun Ru did not hesitate at all, and directly launched a strong attack.

The 20,000 soldiers who were captured and plundered were driven to the forefront of the battlefield to resist the long-range attacks of more than 500 archers in the county of Le'an. Behind them were the Le'an soldiers carrying several huge ladders.

This huge ladder frame is simply made of trees more than five meters long, which was specially supervised by Sun Ru to spend the moat of up to three meters wide under the city of Le'an County. As soon as they hit the moat, the soldiers were able to climb over it.

Because Zhao Yun did not have many archers under his command, the Le'an army only crossed the moat and charged the gate of Le'an City after paying more than 2,000 corpses. Only Sun Ru was left with a thousand Tutuan Baitiao Army to sit in the rear.

One is to supervise the front-line soldiers and horses, and the other is to ensure his own safety, only when the front-line people and horses used to fill the rotation climb to the head of Le'an City, Sun Ru will take his real main force to attack!

However, at this time, it was not long before the start of the game, and Sun Ru did not have any siege equipment in his hands, except for a giant arbor ladder to cross the moat, there were only 4 simple siege vehicles. Therefore, the Le'an army could only attack the city gate.

It is not easy to attack the city, and the same is true for the defenders, first of all, the scarce archer troops, which cannot give a strong blow to the Le'an army, and secondly, the city is not equipped with the stones and rolling logs used to defend the city.

In just one day of preparation, Zhao Yun couldn't collect much, so at the moment, Zhao Yun and others could only take more than 6,000 horses to defend on the city wall, while Li Honglin, Yang Wei, Li Jiande and others took 5,000 player legions to demolish houses in the city, and then transport the stones and wood they got to the city wall.

In this case, the city gates became the most important positions. In order to ensure the foolproof nature of the city gates, Zhao Yun arranged Qi Guoyuan and Lu Fang to the east and west gates, and sat at the south gate of the enemy's main attack. As for the North Gate, which is relatively under light pressure, Zhao Yun specially kept an eye on him here and handed him over to Dong Yan, the strongest and most reliable.

……

"Monarch, there are a few strangers from outside Tiangan City, saying that they were sent by the general."

Because of the policy of joining the craftsmen of the Qianguo country, the number of craftsmen who responded to the call the next day was directly as high as 100, including a few high-level tailors and carpenters.

Seeing the situation developing on the good side, Zhang Shuo was very happy, and was about to go to the weapon workshop to parade to boost the morale of the craftsmen, but Gao Lishi ran over to report.

"Inhuman is finally here! How many people came? ”

Zhang Shuo was a little helpless, in a few days of game time, players in other regions were about to touch the surrounding area, but he had just appeared, and I have to say that Sun Ru's ability to control personnel is really not covered. Even players who are comparable to "Brother Pingtou" can be locked so dead.

"Many, probably dozens, all in tatters, shouting hungry as soon as they came. Let the little officials prepare food for them. Seeing Zhang Shuo's inquiry, Gao Lishi immediately spoke.

"Dozens!"

Zhang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said to Gao Lishi: "Let them elect two representatives to wait in the Wuying Palace, and the rest of them can send them some food casually." ”

The imperial study is the place where the monarch rests and reads, located in the back court of the palace, where Zhang Shuo generally reviews and reads. Because he didn't have a harem concubine, he wanted to save trouble before, and directly summoned the courtiers to the imperial study. But this is a harem after all, and not everyone has this honor. According to the relevant ritual system, the Wuying Hall located in the front hall is the place where the courtiers are really summoned.

"No!"

Gao Lishi took the order and respectfully retreated, while Zhang Shuo started the idea of hiring players. Although there are many limitations for players in the game, and players have too many minds compared to NPCs, they are not reliable. But the knowledge and adaptability of players are much stronger than those NPCs.

In addition, if they can make good use of the various abilities they acquired at the beginning, it will be more beneficial to the development of the country. Nowadays, there are many real-life chaebols on the forum, buying game currency in the forum and recruiting players to join the guild.

Although Zhang Shuo can't be as big as those big forces, it is no problem to recruit some players on a small scale.
