Chapter Ninety-Seven: Soaring

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiang Yong carried more than a dozen simple ladders to attack the city, and the Xuzhou archers had suppressed the defenders, and the light infantry followed the ladders to attack the city wall, quickly occupying the narrow space of the city wall.

Zhou Yafu used a Han sword to cut off the flagpole of the town, announcing that the town was occupied by him.

There was blood on his face.

Although Zhou Yafu's force is not high, the current force is less than 70, but the force is not high, which is relative to the first-class generals. Zhou Yafu's strength is still higher than that of bronze and silver-level generals, and it is not difficult to kill a few creeps.

The mayor of this town became a prisoner of Zhou Yafu and was tied up by Zhou Yafu's soldiers.

"Transfer your town to our lord."

Zhou Yafu directly demanded ownership of the town from this lord.

Summer towns are upgraded to third-level towns, and they can occupy first-level towns and second-level towns, and there are extra vassals.

Each time Zhou Yafu captured a town, he forced the lords of that town to transfer their territory under the control of Xia Town.

"Who is your lord?"

The captured mayor was a little unwilling, and his town was suddenly surrounded by two thousand soldiers and village warriors, and then it was breached, and most of the hard work of half a year was in vain.

"You'll know when you transfer the town."

Zhou Yafu ordered the soldiers to take the mayor to the lord's mansion.

"I just want to farm well...... It turned out to be his soldiers and horses! ”

The lord was impressed by the name when he saw that the object of the transfer was "I just want to farm well".

He said to Zhou Yafu with a sad face: "If you say the name of the lord earlier, I will surrender, why bother attacking the city." The top ten lords of the Eastern Han District, how can I fight against them? ”

This lord was cheated by Zhou Yafu, and if he reported Chutian's game ID, he would probably choose to surrender.

The top ten lords, unless they are guilds or alliances, are likely to compete with them.

"Huh? In the future, it may be possible to use the reputation of the lord to easily force these towns to surrender. ”

Zhou Yafu also didn't expect that players would often pay attention to the leaderboards, and they were very familiar with the lords in front of the Eastern Han District.

In other words, the lords in front of the queue are prestigious, and ordinary small lords really don't dare to oppose them.

"General, this town has a total population of 5,000 and 300 captured soldiers."

"Leave a hundred men to defend the city, and the remaining two hundred soldiers will join our army, and another three hundred townships will be forcibly recruited to participate in the battle."

Zhou Yafu and Liu Sandao conquered the city while annexing the surplus soldiers in these towns, leaving only a small number of troops to defend the city. Because his lord Chu Tian had already informed him that the War Spirit Coalition army that had invaded the northern part of Kaiyang County might have 8,000 people.

Zhou Yafu only had 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and when attacking the town, he lost more than 100 people, and more than 2 or 300 people, absorbing soldiers and villagers from surrounding villages and towns along the way, and the number of troops increased instead of decreasing, reaching about 2,700 people.

In order to rapidly expand his troops and transport food, Zhou Yafu also had to forcibly recruit strong men.

The first batch of Northern Expeditionary troops in Xia Town set out from Lingyan Town and fought all the way to the vicinity of Langya City, and had conquered two towns and ten villages.

There was an army of Zang Ba in Langya City, and Zhou Yafu did not provoke Zang Ba, but bypassed Langya City and continued to push to the north.

At this time, NPC forces such as Zang Ba and Tao Qian have no desire to expand, and the player lord is still in the protection period. Unless the player lord dies and takes the initiative to attack a large city, the NPC forces will not join the internal battle of the player lord for a short time.

"We'll take this city in the future."

From a distance, Zhou Yafu could see the brick-clad walls of Langya City, which were stronger than the simple rammed earth walls of the town. At least the current Xia Zhen is not capable of capturing Langya City.

Zhou Yafu continued to advance.

Chu Tian, who was building a territory in the rear, could see that there were two more vassal towns in Xia Town, and he knew that Zhou Yafu was advancing all the way.

King-level commander, it's comfortable to use.

As long as your loyalty is guaranteed, give him soldiers and food, and he will help you capture your target, and you don't have to worry much about his defeat.

However, Chu Tian learned that the situation in Snow Moon Town did not seem to be very good, and it was said that there was a fierce general in the Battle Spirit Alliance who had climbed the walls of Snow Moon Town many times, bringing great pressure to Snow Moon Town.

Xue Yue speculated that the other party was a historical general.

Chu Tian also took a special look at the hero ranking of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to his four historical heroes, there are also Zu Dashou, Meng Wu, Pan Mei, Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin (Chuang Wang general), Liu Renzhen (Southern Tang Dynasty famous general) and other generals. Dozens of historical heroes have been recruited by the lord in the Eastern Han District, and I don't know which one of the generals who attacked Xueyue Town.

The hero leaderboard does not show the liege's name, which is the protection of the liege.

Chu Tian couldn't guess which historical military general the other party had.

"Let Zhou Yafu be careful, send more scouts to investigate, the other party may be a general."

Chutian sent a light cavalry to the north to make an urgent report, making Zhou Yafu more cautious.

He also didn't know if Zhou Yafu would be able to defeat the other party.

It's not that he has doubts about Zhou Yafu's ability, but that Zhou Yafu's troops are not enough. Now Zhou Yafu is leading the second-order light infantry and the first-order village bravery, who knows if the other party will have heavy infantry, or a large number of cavalry, or even special troops.

If the other party leads a team of special troops to raid Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu may be killed on the spot.

A good general must also have elite soldiers to play his role.

"Why hasn't the Hosoyanagi Battalion been trained yet......

The first thing Chu Tian did when he woke up was to check the training progress of the Xiliu Camp.

The training time of the high-level troops is one word, and it is very slow.

During this period, Xia Liang peddled the idea of developing shipping and salt industry to Chutian, but unfortunately her idea was too late, Chutian's territory was not yet close to the sea, and as for making money from Goryeo sticks and Japanese cowards, it was all a matter of the future.

In addition to building a lot of construction and handling the government affairs of various villages and towns, Chu Tian also brushed his favorability with Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Hua Mulan from time to time.

As private favorability rises, so does their loyalty.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's loyalty to Liu Bei has reached the point of being like brothers, and the possibility of betrayal is almost zero.

Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin have been together for decades, and later Li Shimin personally went to Goguryeo, so he asked Fang Xuanling to guard Luoyang, which is the trust generated by years of friendship.

Of course, this relationship does not apply to some ambitious subordinates.

Fang Xuanling was responsible for sharing Chutian's pressure and arranging the construction plans of various villages and towns. The more villages and towns, the more he needs to think about.

Summer Town needs to be upgraded to a first-class city, and there are also requirements for overall prosperity. Therefore, each vassal village should also increase its prosperity as much as possible.

Li Kui is responsible for agriculture and justice in all villages and towns, and has a clear division of labor with Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling is in charge of the administration and civil engineering.

"Lord ......"

One day, Hua Mulan took the initiative to remind Chu Tian: "The training of the fine willow camp has been completed. ”
