"Why did you provoke so many lords? There are more than twenty lords in three counties who want to destroy you. I will not be defeated and captured..."

Xia Liang learned that the Anti-Chutian Alliance was established and that Xia City became one of the targets of the coalition's attack, so he immediately recruited the full number of soldiers.

All cavalry battalions, infantry battalions, archer battalions and even naval battalions were filled with local warriors and more soldiers were recruited as quickly as possible.

Recruiting a large number of soldiers and horses will bring serious negative effects, not only as simple as increasing the military pay that needs to be paid every month, but also reducing public morale and public security, and increasing the demand for weapons. The barracks are fully equipped to train soldiers, and the military craftsmen's workshops must be operated at full capacity.

"Arrange it immediately. All villages and towns will be closed. Once a lord is discovered to be invading, come and report it. No fighting is allowed. Each village and town recruits local warriors to prepare to defend the city."

Although Xia Liang is not old, he has to bear the consequences of Chu Tian's trick.

There were many historical generals in Xia City, but almost all of them were led by Chu Tian to fight, leaving only a group of silver-level heroes.

"But it doesn't matter... I should be able to hold on..."

Xia Liang personally defended Xia City, while Liu Sandao was left behind in Langya City by Chu Tian.

Chu Tian wants to bet that he can solve the situation in advance before the coalition forces attack Langya City and Xia City.

"First we must defeat Qi Xiaobai and Chang Xi. Once they are defeated, the alliance can be defeated without attacking."

On the way to the north, Fang Xuanling learned that Chu Tian mentioned the alliance to conquer Xia, and gave him the advice to capture the thieves first and capture the king first.

Whoever proposed an alliance was defeated to frighten other lords.

"We have to speed up our march."

Chutian saw the city walls of Xueyue Town.

Xueyue Town is a third-level town, with a population of just over 10,000. However, Xueyue Town does not have the resources to build a large number of buildings, so Xueyue Town remains at the town level.

She mobilized the young men from twelve towns to form an army of ten thousand people to join Chu Tian.

"There are dozens of flying ladders in my town. I can take them to you if you need them."

"Take it with you."

Chutian didn't even have time to enter Xueyue Town to rest.

This time, the anti-Chutian alliance composed of twenty-seven lords was so powerful that even if each of them sent a thousand soldiers and horses, they could form a coalition of 27,000 people!

This does not include the Taishan bandits who are afraid of Chutian.

Chu Tian was the captain of Kaiyang County. It was rumored that he planned to wipe out the Taishan bandits, which shocked Chang Xi, Yin Li, Sun Kang and other Taishan bandit leaders. The Taishan bandits could organize at least tens of thousands of people.

If all the troops of the Anti-Chutian Alliance were allowed to join together, Chutian might face an attack by more than 100,000 troops, and then it would really be besieged on all sides.

"I already know about the formation of the Xia Demanding Alliance. Do you have the confidence to deal with the alliance composed of twenty-seven lords and Taishan bandits?"

Xue Yue now doesn't know whether surrendering to Chu Tian is the right choice.

The lords of three counties, Langya Kingdom, Xiapi Kingdom, and Donghai Kingdom, raised troops to attack Xia Cheng's forces.

Even the top-ranked lord found it difficult to face such a situation.

"It's just a bunch of rabble, especially the lords of Donghai Kingdom and Xiapi Kingdom. They are not close to Xia City and will only send a partial army over. As long as we are fast enough, we can defeat them one by one."

Chu Tian was full of confidence.

To be honest, he was more afraid than Xue Yue. If Xue Yue was defeated, it would be a big deal for her to surrender. In a face-based world, the other party would definitely let her go.

But Chu Tian and Qi Xiaobai have a feud, and the other party will definitely not let him go.

In order to stabilize his only ally, Chu Tian could only maintain a high degree of confidence and let the other party believe that he was confident.

Once you show weakness and make your allies doubt whether there is a future for following you, the alliance will collapse on its own.

Chutian's 15,000 people and Xueyue's 10,000 people formed the Southern Army of 25,000 people, while Qi Xiaobai and the Taishan bandits formed the Northern Army, planning to decide the outcome in Zhanhun Town.

Qi Xiaobai never expected that so many lords would respond to his call, and many of them were more powerful than Qi Xiaobai.

These lords needed someone to take the lead in stopping Chutian from continuing to expand, and it was obvious that Qi Xiaobai became the leader of the alliance.

"The seventeen lords of Langya Kingdom are willing to send an average of three thousand troops each, making a total of 51,000 troops. The ten lords of Donghai Kingdom and Xiapi Kingdom are willing to send two thousand troops each because of the long distance, making a total of 20,000 troops.

A large human army. We attack Xia City and Langya City at the same time. They will be exhausted and destroyed by us!"

Qi Xiaobai obtained the commitments from each lord and carefully counted the troops each lord was willing to send, and found that there were 71,000 soldiers.

This may be the largest battle for control of a county in "Lords".

"Chang Xi sent 30,000 troops, Yin Li sent 15,000 troops, Sun Kang sent 15,000 troops, a total of 60,000 people joined us. There was also Wu Dun from Jiqiu County, who sent 15,000 troops to capture Xiacheng."

Wu Sangui was responsible for calling on the Taishan bandits to besiege Chutian. The Taishan bandits could muster a coalition force of 75,000 people.

"I can actually control an army of 150,000. This time I must destroy Zhongtian!"

Qi Xiaobai's body trembled when he heard such a huge force, it was unimaginable.

Even if not all the lords of Xuzhou participated in the siege of Chutian, the combined 150,000 people would be enough to make Chutian uncomfortable.

Wu Sangui's frown still did not relax: "My lord, 150,000 people come from all directions and cannot reach Battle Soul Town immediately. It is estimated that when the enemy arrives at Battle Soul Town, we will have less than 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand people are enough to defeat him. He only has two cities, and he has to leave troops to guard the cities. The number of troops that can attack us is no more than 30,000!"

"To be on the safe side, we should try our best to delay the Xia City army below our town, and then wait for the coalition forces of Donghai Kingdom and Xia Pi Kingdom to attack Xia City and Langya City. Once the other side learns that the stronghold is besieged, their military morale will definitely be shaken. Then the Lord will drive

An army of 100,000 can defeat the opponent. Farmers will be captured by the Lord."

"I have such a large army at hand, why bother to hold on? As long as we set up formations in the wild, the outcome can be decided in one battle!"

"Is it possible that the master is unwilling to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates?"

Wu Sangui's words were so strong that Qi Xiaobai, a lord, couldn't help but shudder.

If it weren't for Wu Sangui, his power would have perished long ago. The great situation now exists was fought for by Wu Sangui, who also had connections with the Taishan bandits.

Qi Xiaobai gradually couldn't control Wu Sangui, so he had to say: "I understand."

Wu Sangui went down to assemble the soldiers and horses of Zhanhun Town, while Qi Xiaobai was responsible for being the leader of the Anti-Chutian Alliance, contacting other lords and urging them to besiege Xia City as soon as possible.

"I just want to farm his historical heroes, including Hua Mulan, Li Guang, and Du Fu. If I can defeat him, I can divide his lords and capture his historical heroes."

In order to inspire the lords of the anti-Chutian alliance to fight hard, Qi Xiaobai mentioned the historical heroes owned by Chutian.

The three heroes owned by Chutian are no secret, they are all heroes coveted by other lords.

"If I capture Xia City, all I want is Hua Mulan and just hand her over to me. Li Guang and Du Fu do whatever you want."

"Flying General Li Guang will be my prisoner."

"Whoever catches it belongs to whom!"

Sure enough, when they heard that there was a chance to capture the generals owned by Chu Tian, ​​the morale of these lords immediately soared.

In the county seat of Yangdu County, Changxi gathered 30,000 Taishan bandits. Unlike Zang Ba who wanted to turn Taishan bandits into professional soldiers, he recruited basically Taishan bandits, so the number was even larger.

In order to deal with Chu Tian with all his strength, he recalled the Taishan bandits stationed in various places.

Thirty thousand Taishan bandits left Yangdu County with great momentum, stretching for more than ten miles.

On the hillside, a group of cavalry was watching the Taishan bandits passing by in the distance.

The Taishan bandits were poorly disciplined, their formations were loose, and their weapons were diverse.

Hua Mulan pulled the reins and told Xue Rengui, who had little experience in leading troops and was in the process of growing up, "Lead 500 cavalry to attack behind him."

Xue Rengui nodded and led 500 cavalrymen to leave the hillside and make a detour.

Hua Mulan also set off, riding away from the hillside.

Hua Mulan gives her cavalry a 25% attack and defense bonus, making her cavalry very sharp.

Changxi was located in the center of the Taishan Army. After the mighty Taishan Army had walked twenty miles, the soldiers began to complain incessantly and shouted to rest.

"March another five miles!"

Chang Xi felt helpless to this group of subordinates.

After leaving Yangducheng, the Taishan bandits marched for 25 miles, then began to rest and prepare for cooking.

This group of Taishan thieves is actually a more fierce peasant army. Many of them carry iron pots on their backs and fetch water from the Yi River. Then they mix the coarse grains and wild vegetables they carry with them into the iron pot and make a meal.

However, Chang Xi brought a few female dependents with the army, and they had wine and meat.

Chang Xi is considered the number one figure among the Taishan thieves, but few players are willing to assist Chang Xi.

Players want to gain benefits by assisting the princes of the Three Kingdoms, but it does not mean that all of them are willing to assist.

Assist the princes with potential, such as Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao. They can become ministers in the future and have no worries about food and clothing.

Assist weak princes, such as Kong Rong, Yan Baihu, etc., and try to evade them.

A Taishan thief like Chang Xi not only fails to achieve anything, but also kills people at every turn, so no player is willing to be his subordinate. Only players with gangster tendencies can get along with Chang Xi.

"Brother Zang Ba has been captured by them. This alien lord must be eliminated as soon as possible."

After the expansion restrictions of the princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty were lifted, even Changxi had the desire to expand.

Taishan's army was gathering in small groups to eat a big pot of rice, when suddenly the ground began to tremble, and the dull sound of horse hooves seemed to come from the west.

A Taishan thief holding a wooden bowl stood up and stared blankly to the west.

Taishan thieves got up one after another. They were no strangers to this sound, and they were even afraid.
