Boom! Boom! Boom!

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

Zhou Yafu used a Han sword to cut off the town's flagpole, declaring that the town was occupied by him.

There was blood on his face.

Although Zhou Yafu's force is not high, his current force is less than 70, but the force is not high compared to first-class generals. Zhou Yafu's force is still higher than bronze-level and silver-level generals, and it is not difficult to kill a few soldiers.

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

"Transfer your town to our lord."

Zhou Yafu directly asked the lord for ownership of the town.

When Xia Town is upgraded to a third-level town, it can occupy first-level towns and second-level towns, and it also has extra vassal quotas.

Every time Zhou Yafu captured a town, he forced the lord of that town to transfer the territory to Xia Town's control.

"Who is your lord?"

The captured mayor was a little unwilling. His town was suddenly surrounded by two thousand soldiers and village warriors, and then was breached. Most of his hard work for the past six months was in vain.

"You will 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 turns out to be his soldiers and horses!"

When the lord saw the transfer object, "I just want to farm well," he was deeply impressed by the name.

He said to Zhou Yafu with a frown on his face: "If you had told me the name of the lord, I would have surrendered. Why bother attacking the city? How can I fight against the top ten lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

This lord was tricked by Zhou Yafu. If Chu Tian's game ID was reported, he would have a 60-70% chance of surrendering.

Only the top ten major lords, unless they are guilds or alliances, can possibly compete with them.

"Huh? In the future, we might be able to use my lord's reputation to easily force these towns to surrender."

Zhou Yafu also did not expect that players would often pay attention to the rankings and be very familiar with the lords at the front of the Eastern Han District.

In other words, the lords at the front are so prestigious that ordinary small lords really don't dare to go against them.

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

"Leave one hundred men to guard the city, the remaining two hundred soldiers to join our army, and another three hundred brave soldiers from the countryside to join the battle."

Zhou Yafu and Liu Sandao attacked the city and captured the territory while annexing the redundant soldiers in these towns, leaving only a small number of troops to defend the city. This was because his lord Chu Tian had informed him that the war spirit coalition that invaded the northern part of Kaiyang County might have 8,000 people.

Zhou Yafu only had 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. When he attacked the town, he lost at least a hundred people and as many as two to three hundred. He absorbed soldiers and brave men 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 quickly expand his troops and transport food, Zhou Yafu also had to recruit strong men.

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

There was Zang Ba's army in Langya City. Zhou Yafu did not provoke Zang Ba, but instead bypassed Langya City and continued to push northward.

At this time, NPC forces such as Zang Ba and Tao Qian have no desire to expand, and the player lords are still in the protection period. Unless the player lords commit suicide and take the initiative to attack large cities, the npc forces will not join the internal battles among the player lords in a short period of time.

.

"We will capture this city in the future."

Zhou Yafu could see the brick-clad city wall of Langya City from a long distance. This kind of city wall was stronger than the simple rammed earth wall of the town. At least the current Xia Town was not capable of capturing Langya City.

Zhou Yafu continued to advance.

Chu Tian, ​​who was building territory in the rear, could see that Xia Town had two more vassal towns, and knew that Zhou Yafu was making great progress.

A king-level commander, it is comfortable to use.

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

However, Chutian learned that the situation in Xueyue Town did not seem to be very good. It was said that the War Spirit Alliance had a strong general who had climbed onto the city wall of Xueyue Town many times, putting huge pressure on Xueyue Town.

Xue Yue speculated that the other party was a historical military commander.

Chutian also took a special look at the hero ranking list in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition to his four historical heroes, there were also Zu Dashou, Meng Wu, Pan Mei, Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin (general of King Chuang), and Liu Renfan (Southern Tang Dynasty).

Famous generals) and other generals. Dozens of historical heroes have been recruited by the lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty. I don’t know which generals attacked Xueyue Town.

The hero ranking does not display the name of the lord. This is to protect the lord.

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

"Tell Zhou Yafu to be careful and send more scouts to investigate. The opponent may be a veteran general."

Chu Tian sent a light cavalry to report hundreds of miles north, making Zhou Yafu more cautious.

He also didn't know whether Zhou Yafu could defeat the opponent.

It's not that he doubts Zhou Yafu's ability, but that Zhou Yafu's troops are not strong enough. Now Zhou Yafu is leading second-level light infantry and first-level rural warriors. Who knows whether the opponent will have heavy armored infantry, or a large number of cavalry, or even

Special arms.

If the opponent led a team of special troops to attack Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu might be killed on the spot.

A good general also needs good soldiers to be able to play his role.

"Why hasn't Xiliu Camp been trained yet..."

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

The training time for high-level units is in one word, very slow.

During this period, Xia Liang sold Chutian the idea of ​​developing shipping and salt industries. Unfortunately, her idea was too late. Chutian's territory was not yet close to the sea. As for making money from Korean sticks and Japanese pirates, that was a matter for the future.

In addition to carrying out large-scale construction projects and handling government affairs in various villages and towns, Chutian also went to brush up his favorability with Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Hua Mulan from time to time.

As personal favorability increases, their loyalty will also increase.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so loyal to Liu Bei that they felt like brothers, and the possibility of betrayal was almost zero.

Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin got along for decades. Later, Li Shimin personally went to conquer Goguryeo and asked Fang Xuanling to guard Luoyang. This was the trust generated by years of friendship.

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

Fang Xuanling is responsible for sharing Chutian's pressure and arranging the construction plans of various villages and towns. The more villages and towns there are, the more content he needs to consider.

To upgrade Xia Town to a first-level city, there are also overall prosperity requirements. Therefore, each vassal village must also increase its prosperity as much as possible.

Li Kui was responsible for agriculture and justice in all villages and towns, and had a clear division of labor with Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling was responsible for official administration and civil engineering.

"Lord..."
