The ordinary players at the bottom have all invested in the food transportation tasks issued by the imperial court. This is an opportunity for the majority of ordinary players. Although the rewards are not generous, in addition to low rewards, these tasks also have a certain degree of contribution. These contributions
Once the points are accumulated, you can exchange them for some secrets and equipment from the imperial court. Of course, this requires a large amount of contribution points.
The war in Fengxiang City in the Western Region is getting more and more intense. Players are adapting to the NPC attack. Similarly, the Persian army is also adjusting its tactics to deal with the player's defense. Fortunately, with Zeng Yi in charge, there is no need to worry about the Persians' super masters causing trouble.

...
"Brother Ni, is there any way to purchase a batch of three-bow bed crossbows from the imperial court?" Jingfeng, the guy, found Zeng Yi and said directly.
Zeng Yi shook his head: "It's not easy to do. To be honest, before the war started, I had this idea, but the imperial court is currently fully committed to replacing artillery. All productivity is used to produce artillery. The production of three-bow crossbows has basically stopped.
The imperial court has no more inventory!"
"Can't you think of a way? We have too few three-bow crossbows. Persia once again mobilized a batch of siege equipment from the country. Although the armored three-bow crossbows don't have to worry too much about the opponent's siege equipment,
The number was too small and could not sufficiently frighten the Persians."
Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, "There is definitely no way out at the moment, but the major fortresses on the border of the imperial court will gradually replace their artillery. By then, you will be able to get some of the replaced three-bow bed crossbows!"
"Time waits for no one. If this continues, our losses will be too great!"
After thinking for a while, Zeng Yi frowned and said, "I'll go back to the capital and think of a solution!"
"please!"
Jingfeng was forced to have no choice. The consumption of such a high-intensity war was very huge, especially the enemy's catapult which caused great damage to Fengxiang City. If this continues, even if Fengxiang City is defended, in the end
Fengxiang City is also in ruins.
Zeng Yi secretly committed suicide and returned to the capital. After returning to the capital, Zeng Yi ran to the Jinyiwei Yamen and asked Hantian and others about the current production situation of artillery. The answer he got made Zeng Yi very happy. The court has already produced it.
A batch of artillery came out, but there were only a few hundred of this batch of artillery, and they could only be temporarily equipped in one place. First, at the court, they were still undecided whether to equip the Northwest Army or the Northern Army first.
"Have you not considered equipping the Southwest Army first?" Zeng Yi asked with a frown.
"This is really not true. Among the three main battlefields now, the southwest is the most relaxed. Even the southwest army and the Tubo people fought back and forth! The imperial court is not worried about the situation in the southwest at all."
After hearing this, Zeng Yi fell silent. He said that what Zeng Yi hopes most is to equip the Southwest Army first. Once the Southwest Army is equipped with artillery, the eliminated three-bow bed crossbows can be immediately and quickly replenished to the Western Regions. And if the Southwest Army is equipped with
In other places, the situation is different.
Whether it is Jiayuguan or Yanmen Pass, they are both very large. If they replace the three-bow bed crossbows, not only will they be far away from the Western Regions, but the enemies they face are also very powerful. It is very likely that these three-bow bed crossbows will be replenished in other places.
Within the defensive fortress.
"I would suggest replenishing the southwest army first!"
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Shantian and others looked at him in surprise.
"The reason why I say this is mainly for several reasons. One is because, relatively speaking, the strength of Xixia and Grassland is much stronger. Even if Jiayuguan or Yanmenguan gets these artillery pieces, it will not change. The Northwest Army and the Northern Army are temporarily
The stage of strategic defense. The Southwest Army is different. It is now indistinguishable from Tibet. If these artillery pieces are obtained, the absolute strength of the Southwest Army will be greatly increased. By then, the Southwest Army may immediately enter the stage of strategic offensive.
."
Zeng Yi's words were indeed quite reasonable. After listening to them, several people nodded, "If the Southwest Army can use this batch of artillery to enter a strategic offensive, it will indeed be a good choice. If it can defeat Tubo first,
For the imperial court, it will be much easier!"
"Yes, that's what I want to say too!"
Zeng Yi reported to the court that day and gave his suggestions. At first, everyone heard that Zeng Yi supported the first batch of artillery to be equipped with the Southwest Army first, and they all rushed there and were surprised. However, after hearing those reasons, everyone had to think about the Southwest.
Army.
Of course, it is not that no one thought that Zeng Yi did this in order to mobilize three-bow crossbows for the Western Regions. He even pointed this out in court. Zeng Yi did not deny it at all, "My lords, I do not deny that I have this intention, but this is very important to the court."
Does it have any impact? It has no impact, but it is very beneficial to the court! You must know that the Persian Empire, the most powerful alliance of the four countries, was held back in the Western Regions. If the cities in the Western Regions were defeated, the court would have to face the siege of four armies.
!”
"Now, the cities in the Western Region are actually fighting very hard. If they don't get more troops, no one knows how many days it will take for them to lose!"
"Mr. Ni is right! If the imperial court faces the Persian army now, it will indeed be very troublesome! The minister also thinks that it is better to equip these artillery pieces with the Southwest Army first!"
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal! If the Southwest Army can seize the opportunity to defeat Ji Bai's Tubo Army, it would not be a bad idea to equip these artillery pieces with the Southwest Army first!"
The Queen pondered for a moment, "If no one objects, then let's follow Mr. Nini's opinion!"
In the end, after deliberation, the imperial court decided to equip these artillery pieces with the Southwest Army. On the day the imperial court made the decision, a logistics force of tens of thousands of people took these artillery pieces and set off to the southwest. Zeng Yi, who was preparing to return to the Western Regions,
, naturally I took the opportunity to set off with this group of troops, and by the way, I could also sit in charge of this logistics force!
Tens of thousands of troops, transporting hundreds of artillery pieces and countless ammunition, could not move fast at all. It took two days to finally transport these artillery pieces to the southwest.
When the commander of the Southwest Army knew that the first batch of artillery had been equipped with them first, he was very excited. As a military leader, he naturally knew the court's secret weapons and artillery, and even knew that the first batch of artillery was ready to be equipped with troops.
But he also knew that compared with the northern army and the northwest army, their southwest army could not be called elite at all, and he never thought that artillery would be equipped with them first.
"General! This first batch of artillery is equipped with the Southwest Army. The imperial court hopes that the Southwest Army can use this batch of artillery to switch from defense to attack and defeat the Tibetan army in one fell swoop!"
