Lord of the People of Online Games

Chapter 156: The gains of conquering large cities

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

   "The government of Langya, a large city, was breached in less than two years!"

   The players who lived in Langya City discovered for the first time that the largest city in Langya Kingdom had been captured by the player lord, and Chu Tian replaced Zangba as the little prince entrenched in Langya Kingdom.

   The news quickly spread among players, and soon the entire Eastern Han Dynasty learned that Langya City was captured by Chutian's army.

   Xiangping County was full of flames. Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou attacked the Xiangping County with iron hoof. Gongsun Zhao, the magistrate of Xiangping County, was defeated by Li Chengliang's Liaodong cavalry. Zu Dashou beheaded him during the battle, and all the defenders of Xiangping County surrendered.

   "Chu Zimou turned out to be half a step faster than me..."

   Mingguan was proud to break through Xiangping City, and felt a little depressed when he heard the news.

He used almost exactly the same method as Chu Tian. He dispatched players from the Yanqi Guild to attack Xiangping County and robbed the city gates, disguised as horse merchants, and then dispatched Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou to lead the cavalry on an aggressive attack. Zu Dashou killed the magistrate of Xiangping County. Zhao, Po Xiangping defenders.

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

   There is no extra reward for capturing the prefecture in advance, and there is no harm in short of this time, but Mingguan has a feeling of losing.

  The burning wooden house is emitting black smoke, and the charred wood is scattered all over the floor.

   Zhou Yafu took the soldiers to extinguish the flames in the city.

   When attacking the city, he can destroy the city without fear, cause chaos, and lay down the city, and after it becomes his own territory, he has to calm the people.

   Chutian did not embarrass the residents and players of Langya City, because they will be taxed later. Only people have money and food.

   annexed the first three powers, and the benefits that Chutian gained were unimaginable.

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

"A total of 15,000 soldiers surrendered to our side, and several thousand others fled from other city gates and disappeared. Among them, 500 were in Tier 4 arms, 3,000 were in Tier 3 arms, and the rest were Tier 1 and 2 arms, including 7000 in Taishan thief. people."

   Mulan temporarily counts the number of prisoners.

   Chutian frowned, unexpectedly there were so many Taishan thieves in the Zang Ba army.

  Taishan thief is not a conventional unit, it should be a special unit, but it is incomparable with the special units such as Xiliu Camp and Shooting Camp. It is similar to the Yellow Turban Soldiers, Yellow Turban Chiefs, and Chuangwang Liumin Army.

   "There is also a heavy cavalry with 150 men and a heavy infantry with 350 men. There is no time to use it."

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

   Zangba is different from other Taishan thief leaders. He wants to turn the Taishan thief under his command into professional soldiers. He also formed a 500-man heavy armored regiment consisting of Tier 4 Xuzhou heavy infantry and Xuzhou heavy cavalry.

   It’s just that Zang Ba never thought that he would be easily captured, and the heavy armored regiment was useless. After Sun Guan surrendered, the 500-man heavy armored army also became Chutian's spoils.

   "The 150-man Xuzhou heavy cavalry, coupled with the 147 Goguryeo heavy cavalry, a total of about 300 heavy cavalry squad, in the future, I finally have a force that can determine the victory and defeat."

   Chutian has not yet formally recruited a heavy cavalry, the existing heavy cavalry all rely on grasping.

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

   High salary and equipment, the number of heavy cavalry is surprisingly small.

   There is also a 350-man heavy infantry squad, which Chutian handed over to Zhou Yafu to command.

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

   Chutian went to the Lord’s Mansion in Langya City.

  Langya City's lord mansion is far more spacious and magnificent than Xiacheng's lord mansion.

   There is a huge stone stele in the Lord’s Mansion, which records the detailed information of Langya City.

  ……

   "Ding! You have actual control of Langya City, and Langya City is within the control of Xiacheng. The prosperity of Langya City will be included in your total territorial prosperity. You can give instructions to Langya City."

   Chutian’s Xiacheng 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 scope of Xiacheng’s influence and realised control, Langya City can be turned into a vassal.

   So Langya City became a vassal of Xiacheng.

   Chutian still plans to build Xiacheng, taking Xiacheng as the main city. When Xiacheng reaches a large city and merges with Langya City, it will soon be upgraded to a state-level giant city.

   After all, Xiacheng currently has a sixth-level infantry battalion, archer battalion, cavalry battalion, and special buildings such as the Zhongyi Shrine. Langya City may not have it.

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

   Chutian saw that the population of Langya City was 7 times that of Xiacheng.

   However, the public sentiment and public security of Langya City have dropped drastically because of Chutian's war. It will take a long time to recover. During this period, rebellions and uprisings easily occurred in the city.

   There is another shortcoming. The administrative efficiency of Langya City is not high under the governance of Zang Ba.

   "How much savings are there in the bank and granary?"

   Chutian cares more about real interests.

  The purpose of launching war is to expand the territory. The territory is related to population, gold and silver, and food. Otherwise, no one will be thankful to launch a war for the sake of fame.

   Hua Mulan counts military data, while Fang Xuanling is looking at Langya City’s household registration and financial accounts.

   "All the gold, silver, copper, silk, silk, jewelry...about 420,000 taels of silver and 110,000 grains."

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

   When Chutian learned of the silver vault and grain reserves in Langya City, he couldn't help but be impressed by the number.

   110,000 units of food are equivalent to the annual cost of 110,000 civilians.

   In theory, it can feed 110,000 soldiers.

   Actually, war horses and workhorses are big food consumers. Soldiers consume more food than usual when they fight, and the courage who transports food also needs to consume food.

   There is another situation that will lead to a reduction in food, that is, the enemy will attack the food passage or set the granary on fire.

   In addition to the need to prepare surplus food for the defense of the city or for disaster relief, 110,000 units of food to feed 20,000 to 40,000 soldiers are already very reluctant.

   "Getting 420,000 taels of silver, this time should be able to share the pressure of summer cold."

Chu Tian thought of the summer cool, which is often troubled by the accounts. 420,000 taels of silver are undoubtedly a lot of income for Xiacheng. Even if 100,000 taels of silver are transferred from Langya City’s silver vault to Xiacheng’s silver vault, Can alleviate Xiacheng's financial pressure.

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

   Fang Xuanling supports Chutian's continuous expansion plan.

   The capture of Langya City is the most ideal situation in Fang Xuanling's vision. The various forces in Xuzhou have not yet reacted. At this time, the attack on Yangdu County in the north will definitely catch the various forces in Xuzhou by surprise.

   "Take a rest for a day, collect prisoners, and do not disturb the people. Hua Mulan, Xue Li, and Li Guang take turns leading the supervising team to patrol the city. If someone disturbs the people, no matter who it is, they will be executed immediately."

   Chutian arranged.

   has annexed the army of Langya City, and the number of Hua Mulan's light cavalry has increased to 2500, mostly from the families of Zang Ba and Sun Guan. After being absorbed by Chu Tian, ​​they have become very impressive.

   Suddenly has a 2500 light cavalry and a 300 heavy cavalry. Now Chu Tian feels like a local rich man.

   If it hadn't been for the tens of thousands of cavalry of Tang Jun at the Battle of Anshicheng, Chutian would have floated by now.

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

   Zangba and Sun Guan’s cavalry can only be seen by 150 heavy cavalry.

   "The two men are escorted to the army, let them see, we can also defeat the Taishan thief directly."

   Chutian gathered the soldiers and horses of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and now he has more confidence.

  Before going north to crusade Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changpi, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling had already calculated the combined forces.

"There is a Taishan thief in Jiqiu County to the south, and Tao Qian who is under the Pi may also go north. The offensive must be as swift as the wind and fierce as fire. 5,000 people are left to guard Langya City, 3,000 people are guarding Xiacheng, and the remaining 15,000 people rush to take Yangdu County."

   "It's cold in summer, you immediately send someone to contact Mi's family and ask Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to try their best to discourage Tao Qian from sending troops. You can temporarily agree to any conditions proposed by Mi's family. If the conditions are too demanding, you can rely on it later."

   Chutian also made a series of deployments.

   Langya City was captured not bad, but it also meant that Chutian changed the pattern of Xuzhou and stabbed a hornet's nest.

   Now Xuzhou has the governor Tao Qian, the Taishan thief, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and the prefects and player lords. There are dozens of large and small forces, and they will certainly not sit back and watch Chutian become bigger.

   The most headache for Chutian is Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. After all, Tao Qian is the governor of Xuzhou, as long as he orders, tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers will go north to attack Xiacheng.

   Xia Pi City is separated by two or three counties from Xia City and Langya City, and is connected by the Yi River. The Xuzhou Army can reach them all in less than half a month. If the cavalry rushes forward, they can arrive in a few days.

   Tao Qian also has a Yihe navy.

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

   Chutian is betting, Mi's 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 when he is young, but Chu Tian is young and strong, and he has taken Langya City, and he can fight for decades. Who to choose, Chu Tian believes that the Mi family should choose properly.

   The cavalry with a Tang sword hanging from his waist patrolled the streets, and the civilians and players in the city did not dare to breathe.

   Many civilians and free players living in Langya City have not experienced the flames of war. At this time, Langya City has faintly become the focus of many Xuzhou forces.

   Chu Tian ordered Xue Rengui to control the teleportation formation in Langya City.

   Now he finally has a teleportation array in his hand.

   The teleportation array can teleport soldiers to other cities. In theory, the teleportation array can be used to sneak attack on other cities. But if you want to use the teleportation array to connect with other cities, you must get the consent of other cities. There is a huge price to pay, starting with 5 taels of silver.

   The farther the distance, the greater the cost.

   The number of teleporters in each batch is limited. The teleportation array of a large city can only transmit 500 people at a time, and the cooling time is one hour. If it is non-stop, it can only transmit 12,000 soldiers a day, and it is easy to be ambushed by the opponent's city.

   Each city has a garrison in the teleportation array.

   Currently, 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 most people still dare not take it. If Luoyang is taken, all the princes will crusade.

   No matter what, Chutian 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."

   Chutian believes that the teleportation array can gain huge profits. Even if only 100 people use it every day, they can get 1,000 taels of silver, which is 365,000 taels of silver a year.

   But soon he was disappointed. The teleportation array is a mandatory tax rate, and the lord can only get 1% of the income. When a person uses the teleportation array, Chutian can only earn 100 copper coins.

   Chu Tian, ​​who originally wanted to exploit the loophole, gave up this plan.

   It is also a good way to use teleportation to adjust troops in the future, but the price is too expensive.

   It takes not only a day to send an army of 10,000 people to Luoyang, but also 100,000 taels of silver. Few lords are willing to spend so much money on the water.

   There is another huge limitation. When the city is surrounded, the teleportation array will be forced to fail.

   That is to say ~www.wuxiahere.com~ As long as the enemy is near the city, unless the opponent withdraws, the people in the city cannot escape, nor can they use the teleportation array to obtain reinforcements.

   Chutian could also understand this, otherwise he would not be able to catch people at all.

   "It's better to use the teleportation array as little as possible in the future. It costs tens of thousands of taels of silver to transmit an army of 10,000 people, or even 100,000 taels of silver. After several transmissions, it is estimated that I will go bankrupt."

   Unless the territory is expanded to the point where ordinary marching is too late, Chutian will not consider using the teleportation array.

   Chutian’s army rested in Langya City for a day, recharged, and distributed the surrendered soldiers to the generals. On the third day of capturing Langya City, Chu Tian went to attack Yangdu County without stopping, to solve the two threats to Chu Tian, ​​Qi Xiaobai and Taishan Thief Changbi.

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

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

   "I just want the well-farming army to start moving again, what does he want to do?"

   Langya City players found that Chutian's army had only been stationed for more than a day, and left Langya City, wondering.

   Qi Xiaobai's Xizuo sent to Langya City wanted to keep up with Chutian's troops and probe Chutian's movements.

   However, no matter whether it is Xiacheng or Langya City, if the city is ordered to be closed, no one can leave the city.
