Chapter 109: Prestige
"I'll leave the matter of Hedong to the general."
At the wharf of Xia Town, three boats, thirty sentinel boats, and a number of fishing boats were moored, which sent the first batch of soldiers and horses, Zhou Yafu's fine willow operation, to the east of the river.
Chu Tian still has to stay in Xia Town, and assign a general to attack the city and pull out the village.
Zhou Yafu asked: "What if the villages and towns in Hedong are captured?" ”
"Xia Zhen will send officials to take over, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter."
"The last general will definitely do everything in his power to capture more villages and towns."
Zhou Yafu led the fine willow battalion to the battle. Groups of elite foot soldiers boarded the plank boats, some of the infantry of the Willow Battalion were already equipped with two armors, and some of the soldiers were still wearing leather or cloth armor.
The Xiliu camp will cross the Yi River and expand the territory of Xia Town.
Zhou Yafu personally commanded a warship.
He's not very good at water warfare, and he barely makes do.
Chu Tian could already imagine the fear of the lords of Yihe Hedong when they saw the sixth-order troops.
In the early middle and early stages, the sixth-order troops were almost invincible, and the only thing that could stop them was probably the city wall and the crowd tactics.
Zhou Yafu's fleet left Xia Town and headed for the village on the opposite bank.
"Don't you need your subordinates to go together to conquer Hedong?"
Mulan is eager to try.
"There will also be people to guard Summer Town, as well as to deal with threats that may come from other counties."
Chutian didn't send Mulan out, and there must always be a historical military general by his side to rest assured.
The threat from Yangdu County has not yet been lifted. If it weren't for the fact that Taishan Thief Chang Xuan suddenly supported the Battle Soul Guild, Chu Tian would definitely completely annex the territory of the Battle Spirit Guild.
In addition to the threat from Yangdu County, there are also threats from Taishan County, Donghai Kingdom, and Xiapi Kingdom.
Chu Tian knew very little about these places.
The boat sailed on the mighty Yihe River, which reached three or four kilometers at its widest point.
Zhou Yafu's fingers tapped on the edge of the women's wall, making a subtle sound.
"The first village is Majiaji."
Before setting off, Chu Tian had already collected information on the other side of the river from the mouths of nearby townspeople, and then drew a sketch for Zhou Yafu to use.
Majiaji is located not far from Xia Town, also in the southern part of Kaiyang County, but it belongs to the territory of another great lord.
"According to the villagers who traded in Majiaji to Xia Town, the village built two arrow towers in the direction of the river under the orders of their lord. If Majiaji is stormed, there will definitely be a lot of losses. ”
"You disguised yourself as fishermen and pedestrians to attack Majiaji."
Under Zhou Yafu's orders, more than two dozen infantry of the Xiliu Battalion disguised themselves as fishermen and approached Majiaji on the fishing boats of Xia Zhen.
Ma Jiaji didn't expect Xia Zhen to suddenly attack him, and he was caught off guard by the soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion who suddenly turned their faces and occupied the dock.
"Surrender or kill!"
The soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion quickly occupied the two wooden arrow towers, condescendingly, covering Zhou Yafu's large army to control Majiaji.
A group of civilians fled from Majiaji, and the village chief was captured by the Xiliu camp.
"This lord, our Ma Jiaji and Xia Zhen have recently exchanged trade, but they have not offended Xia Town, why do you want to occupy our village?"
"Your lord fornicated with the Yellow Turban Thief, so the county lieutenant ordered me to arrest him and take him to Xia Town."
“……”
The village chief of Majiaji quickly understood.
This is a sin that is desired, and there is no excuse for it!
Chu Tian, the lord of Xia Town, still has the title of county lieutenant of Kaiyang County on his head, and he is appointed by the imperial court with a serious official position of eight hundred.
The county lieutenant manages the security of Kaiyang County, and if he insists on accusing you of having something to do with the Yellow Turban Army, you can't do anything about it.
"Sun Liuwan, your sailor battalion stays in Majiaji."
Zhou Yafu ordered Sun Liuwan, the commander of the water division, to control Majiaji on his behalf and serve as a transit point for liaison with Xia Zhen.
He has to occupy important villages and towns as quickly as possible before the other lord's lord reacts, forcing them to make concessions or even surrender.
Zhou Yafu marched quickly, and a fast horse rushed into a nearby town, alarming the lord who owned the horse family.
"Lord, an army is attacking Majiaji and Guojiazhen from the Yi River! Ma Jiaji and Guo Jiazhen were defenseless, and they were captured by the other party without spending a single soldier! ”
"Water bandits?"
"I don't know."
"Come on, immediately gather the soldiers and horses of the nearby town!"
"Yes...... It may already be too late! ”
"How many soldiers are there in our town?"
"There are less than two hundred people, and the main force has been sent by you to exterminate the bandits."
"Damn, how can someone sneak up on my territory at this time! Recruit village warriors in the town, stick to the town, and wait for reinforcements to return! ”
This hapless town was in disarray, and hundreds of villagers were forcibly conscripted as strong men and came to the city walls to help defend them.
The lord led two low-ranking generals up the stone stairs to the city, and found an elite infantry lined up below.
There were 500 people in total, and the soldiers carried two flags, "Xia" and "Zhou", one was the flag of power, and the other was the flag of generals.
The halberd-wielding infantry in the front row of the Xiliu battalion was intimidating in two armors.
A soldier has a standard iron armor, which means that the strength of the power is strong!
The soldiers lined up below the town were in a neat formation, and he compared his own town's infantry, and his face became even paler.
The soldiers coming to the city may not be low-level troops, but they are likely to be medium- and high-level troops.
So the commander of this army is...... Historical generals?
Thinking of this possibility, the lord couldn't help but shudder. Historical generals plus high-level troops, how to fight this battle.
Mayor asked, "Who is your lord?" Or are you the lord? ”
"Our lord's nickname is ...... 'I just want to farm well.'"
Even the serious Zhou Yafu felt a little ashamed when he said Chu Tian's nickname.
How could his lord have such a strange nickname......
To the lord on the other side, the name sounded like a bolt from the blue.
There are not many people who know Chu Tian's true name, but his name in the game is like thunder in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
The first epic battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty "Yellow Turban Rebellion" ranked first in the Han court camp lord list!
", such a behemoth is right next to me! The couch on the side of the bed, how can I allow others to snore, I am in trouble this time. His town must have reached the third level, and there are historical generals and high-level soldiers, and I only have a second-level town, how can I fight? ”
The lord muttered to himself and paced restlessly on the ramparts.
The generals under him were puzzled, and his lord seemed to be very afraid of Chu Tian.
"How many towns do your lords have?"
This lord asked Zhou Yafu about the strength of the other party uneasily.
Zhou Yafu replied indifferently: "More than ten." ”
"Ten...... Ten...... Open the door and greet this general, and give me a little more ......."
There are only two towns across the river from Xia Town, one of which was also attacked by Zhou Yafu, and there is only one second-level town left, so he can't beat the other party, so he simply chooses to surrender without a fight.
"The reputation of the lord is really thunderous among the strangers, but the nickname is a little weird......"
Zhou Yafu found out that he reported Chutian's nickname, as long as the other party did not have an alliance, most of them would choose to surrender after the Xiliu Battalion showed its force.
