"Langya City was captured by the lord, I just want to farm well!"

"The governance of Langya Kingdom, a large city, was broken in less than two years!"

Players living in Langya City immediately discovered that the largest city in Langya Kingdom had been attacked by the player lord, and Chutian replaced Zang Ba as a minor prince entrenched in Langya Kingdom.

This news quickly spread among the players, and soon the entire Eastern Han District knew about the fact that Langya City had been captured by Chutian's army.

Xiangping County was in flames, and Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou attacked Xiangping County, with iron hooves. Xiangping County Linggong Sun Zhao was defeated by Li Chengliang's Liaodong cavalry, and Zu Dashou beheaded him during the battle, and all the defenders of Xiangping County surrendered.

"Chu Zimou is half a step faster than me......"

Mingguan was proud of the attack on Xiangping City, and when he heard the news, he was a little depressed.

The method he used was almost exactly the same as Chu Tian's, sending players from the Yanqi Guild to attack Xiangping County disguised as horse merchants and seize the city gates, and then sent Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou to lead the cavalry to attack, Zu Dashou slashed Xiangping County Linggong Sun Zhao with one knife and broke the Xiangping defenders.

It's just that the time when he captured Xiangping City was half a day later than Chu Tian.

There is no additional reward for capturing the county town in advance, and it doesn't hurt to take this little time, but Mingguan has a feeling of losing.

Black smoke billowed from the burning wooden house, and charred wood was scattered to the ground.

Zhou Yafu led his soldiers to extinguish the flames in the city.

When attacking a city, you can destroy the city without fear and create chaos, and after you conquer the city and turn it into your own territory, you have to pacify the people.

Chu Tian did not embarrass the residents and players of Langya City, because they would have to be taxed in the future. Only when there is a population can there be money and food.

By annexing the first Three Kingdoms forces, the benefits Chu Tian obtained were unimaginable.

This is a large city, the largest city in Langya Country, with a large population and savings.

"A total of 15,000 soldiers have surrendered to us, and several thousand more have fled through the other gates and are missing. Among them, there are 500 fourth-order troops, 3,000 third-order troops, and the rest are first- and second-order troops, including 7,000 Taishan thieves. ”

Mulan temporarily counts the number of captives.

Chu Tian frowned, he didn't expect that there were so many Taishan thieves in the Zang Ba Army.

The Taishan Thief does not belong to the regular troops, it should be a special class, but it cannot be compared with the special classes such as the Fine Willow Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion. It is similar to the Yellow Turban Soldiers, the Yellow Turban Chief, the Chuang Wang Liumin Army and other peasant army arms.

"There is also a heavy cavalry of 150 men and heavy infantry of 350 men, which have not had time to be used."

Hua Mulan reported something that made Chu Tian's eyes shine.

Zang Ba is different from other Taishan thief leaders, he wants to transform the Taishan thieves under his command into professional soldiers, and also formed a 500-strong heavy armor army, composed of the fourth-order Xuzhou heavy infantry and Xuzhou heavy cavalry.

It's just that Zang Ba never thought that he would be captured easily, and the heavy armor army was useless at all. After Sun Guan surrendered, the 500-strong heavy armor army also became Chutian's trophy.

"The 150-strong Xuzhou heavy cavalry, plus the 147-strong Goguryeo heavy cavalry, a total of about 300 heavy cavalry squads, I finally have a force in my hands that can decide whether to defeat the defeat in the future."

Chu Tian has not yet formally recruited a heavy cavalry, and the existing heavy cavalry is all dependent on grasping.

The Xuzhou heavy cavalry was 5 taels of silver a month, which was more expensive than the Goguryeo heavy cavalry.

With the high cost of money and equipment, the number of heavy cavalry was surprisingly small.

There was also a heavy infantry squad of 350 people, which Chutian handed over to Zhou Yafu to command.

The defense of the heavy infantry is amazing, and Zhou Yafu is good at defense, which will become an unbreakable iron army.

Chu Tian went to the lord's mansion in Langya City.

The Lord's Mansion in Langya City is far more spacious and magnificent than the Lord's Mansion in Xia City.

There is a huge stone tablet in the Lord's Palace, on which the details of Langya City are recorded.

……

"Ding! If you have actual control over Langya City, and Langya City is under the control of Xia City, the prosperity of Langya City will be counted towards your total Territory Prosperity. You can give orders to Langya City. ”

Chutian's Xia City is already at the city level, there is no limit on the number and level of vassal villages and towns, as long as it is within the sphere of influence of Xia City, plus the actual control, Langya City can be turned into a vassal.

As a result, Langya City became a vassal of Xia City.

Chu Tian still plans to build Xia City, regard Xia City as the main city, and when Xia City reaches a large city, it will merge with Langya City, and it will soon be upgraded to a state-level giant city.

After all, Xia City currently has a sixth-level infantry battalion, an archery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and special buildings such as the Loyal Shrine, which may not be available in Langya City.

"387,000 population ......"

Chu Tian saw that the population of Langya City was actually 7 times that of Xia City.

However, the people's morale and law and order in Langya City have dropped greatly due to the war launched by Chutian, and it will take a long time to recover. During this period, rebellions and uprisings were prone to occur in the city.

There is also a shortcoming, the administrative efficiency of Langya City is not high under Zang Ba's governance.

"How much savings do you have in the treasury and granary?"

Chutian was more concerned about tangible interests.

The purpose of waging war is to expand territory, and territory is related to population, gold, silver, and food, otherwise no one will go to the trouble of starting a war for the sake of false fame.

Hua Mulan counted military data, while Fang Xuanling was looking through the account books of Langya City's household registration and finance.

"All gold, silver, brass, silk, and jewelry...... It was worth about 420,000 taels of silver and 110,000 units of grain. ”

"It seems that Zang Ba has collected a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass."

Chu Tian learned about the silver treasury and grain reserves in Langya City, and Rao was also unable to help but sigh at the large number.

110,000 units of food is equivalent to the annual consumption of 110,000 civilians.

Theoretically, it can feed 110,000 soldiers.

In fact, war horses and pack horses are large consumers of grain, and the food consumption of soldiers when they fight is greater than usual, and the villagers who transport grain also need to consume food.

There is also a situation that can lead to a decrease in food, and that is when the enemy attacks the grain routes, or sets fire to the granaries.

Coupled with the need to prepare surplus food for the defense of the city or for disaster relief, 110,000 units of grain to feed 2-40,000 soldiers is already very difficult.

"Get 420,000 taels of silver, and now you should be able to share the pressure of the cold summer."

Chu Tian thought of the cool summer when he was often worried about accounts, 420,000 taels of silver was undoubtedly a lot of income for Xia Cheng, even if 100,000 taels of silver were transferred from the silver treasury in Langya City to the silver treasury in Xia Cheng, it could also relieve Xia Cheng's financial pressure.

"In addition to gold, silver, money, and food, there are also thousands of weapons of all kinds. The lord could use this batch of weapons and captured soldiers to go north to attack Yangdu County. ”

Fang Xuanling supported Chutian's plans for continuous expansion.

The capture of Langya City is the most ideal situation in Fang Xuanling's vision, and the various forces in Xuzhou have not yet reacted, and at this time, going north to attack Yangdu County will definitely catch the various forces in Xuzhou off guard.

"Rest for a day, take the prisoners, and do not disturb the people. Hua Mulan, Xue Li, and Li Guang took turns to lead the overseers to patrol the city, and if anyone disturbed the people, no matter who it was, they would be executed immediately. ”

Chu Tian arranged it.

After annexing the army of Langya City, the number of Mulan's light cavalry increased to 2,500 people, most of whom came from the families of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and after being absorbed by Chutian, it was very considerable.

Suddenly with a force of 2,500 light cavalry and a 300 heavy cavalry, Chu Tian now felt like a rich man.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Tang Army in the Battle of Anshi City, Chu Tian would have drifted at this time.

Compared with the Tang Army, he still has a long way to go, especially the lack of elite cavalry.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan's cavalry can only be seen by 150 heavy cavalry.

"These two people, escort the army, let them see, we can also defeat the Taishan thieves head-on."

Chutian incorporated Zang Ba and Sun Guan's soldiers and horses, and he was more confident at this time.

Before going north to crusade against Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changfeng, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling had already counted the troops they had recruited.

"There is a Taishan thief in Jiqiu County in the south, and Tao Qian in Xiapi may also go north. The offensive must be as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire. Leave 5,000 people to guard Langya City, 3,000 people to guard Xia City, and the rest of the 15,000 people are eager to take Yangdu County. ”

"It's cool in summer, you immediately send someone to contact the Mi family and ask Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to try their best to dissuade Tao Qian from sending troops. What conditions the Mi family proposes, you can agree to it temporarily. If the conditions are too harsh, you can rely on them later. ”

Chutian also made a series of deployments.

It is good that Langya City has been captured, but it also means that Chutian has changed the pattern of Xuzhou and stabbed the hornet's nest.

Now Xuzhou has Thorn Shi Taoqian, Taishan thieves, remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, Taishou and player lords in various places, and there are dozens of large and small forces, and they will definitely not easily sit back and watch Chutian become bigger.

Chutian's biggest headache is Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. After all, Tao Qian is the assassin of Xuzhou, as long as he gives the order, tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers will go north to attack Xiacheng.

Xiapi City and Xia City, Langya City are separated by two or three counties, and there is the Yi River connected, the Xuzhou army can reach all in less than half a month, if the cavalry is fast and whipped, it can be reached in a few days.

Tao Qian also has a Yihe water division.

The only thing that can contain Tao Qian is the Mi family who gave Tao Qian financial support.

Chu Tian is gambling, and the Mi family will choose between Tao Qian and himself.

The main basis is not strength, but age. Tao Qian is too old, he may die of old age and illness at any time, and Chu Tian is young and strong, and he has captured Langya City, and he can fight for decades, who should be chosen, Chu Tian believes that the Mi family should make a proper choice.

Cavalrymen with Tang swords on their waists patrolled the streets, and the civilians and players in the city did not dare to breathe.

Many civilians and freelancers living in Langya City have not yet experienced the war, and Langya City has faintly become the focus of many Xuzhou forces at this time.

Chu Tian ordered Xue Rengui to take control of Langya City's teleportation array.

Now he finally has a teleportation array in his hands.

The teleportation array can teleport soldiers to other cities, and theoretically can be used to sneak up on other cities. However, if you want to use the teleportation circle to connect with other cities, you must get the consent of the other cities. There is also a huge price to pay, starting with 5 taels of silver.

The farther the distance, the greater the cost.

The number of people teleported in each batch is limited, and the teleportation array of a large city can only teleport 500 people at a time, with a cooldown time of one hour, and only 12,000 soldiers can be teleported a day if it is non-stop, which is easy to be ambushed by the opponent's city and killed.

Each city has a garrison in the teleportation array.

At present, the teleportation array of Langya City can only travel between Luoyang and Langya City.

Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a neutral city, and ordinary people dare not take it, and Luoyang will be attacked by all the princes.

No matter what, Chu Tian has a teleportation array, which is better than nothing.

"From Langya to Luoyang, each person costs 10 taels of silver, I don't know how much tax the lord can collect."

Chu Tian thought that the teleportation array could make huge profits, even if only 100 people used it every day, he could get 1,000 taels of silver, which was 365,000 taels of silver a year.

However, he was soon disappointed, the teleportation array was a mandatory tax rate, and the lord could only get 1% of the gain. If a person uses a teleportation array, Chu Tian can only earn 100 copper coins.

Chu Tian, who originally wanted to take advantage of the loophole, gave up this plan.

In the future, it is also a good way to use the teleportation array to transfer troops, but the price is too expensive.

Transporting an army of 10,000 people to Luoyang not only takes a day, but also 100,000 taels of silver, and few lords are willing to spend so much money to waste.

There is also a huge limitation. When the city is besieged, the teleportation array will be forcibly disabled.

In other words, as long as the enemy soldiers are close to the city, unless the other party withdraws, the people in the city will not be able to escape, and they will not be able to use the teleportation array to obtain reinforcements.

Chu Tian can also understand this, otherwise he would not be able to catch people at all.

"In the future, it's better to use the teleportation array as little as possible. An army of 10,000 people can easily cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even 100,000 taels of silver. After a few teleportations, I guess I'm bankrupt. ”

Unless the territory was expanded to the point where it was too late for an ordinary march, Chu Tian would not consider using a teleportation array.

Chutian's army rested for a day in Langya City, recuperated and distributed the surrendered soldiers to the various generals. On the third day of capturing Langya City, Chutian went non-stop to attack Yangdu County to solve the two forces that threatened Chutian, Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changyun.

He wants to break them one by one before the forces of the Langya Kingdom start to join forces.

Otherwise, once these forces join forces, Chu Tian's position will be very passive.

"The army that I just want to farm well is moving again, what the hell does he want to do?"

The players in Langya City couldn't help but wonder when they found that Chutian's army had only been stationed for more than a day, so they left Langya City.

The fine work sent by Qi Xiaobai to Langya City wanted to keep up with Chutian's troops and probe Chutian's movements.

However, whether it is Xia Cheng or Langya City, the city is ordered to be closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city.
