Chapter 156 The Harvest of Capturing a Large City

"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!"

Players living in Langya City immediately discovered that the largest city in Langya Country was captured by the player lord, and Chu Tian replaced Zang Ba as a small prince entrenched in Langya Country.

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

Xiangping County was in flames everywhere, and Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou marched into Xiangping County with iron hooves. Xiangping county magistrate Gongsun Zhao was defeated by Li Chengliang's Liaodong cavalry, Zu Dashou beheaded him during the battle, and all Xiangping county defenders surrendered.

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

Ming Guanzheng was proud to have conquered Xiangping City, and when he heard the news, he was a little depressed.

The method he used was almost the same as that of Chutian. He dispatched players from the Yanqi Guild to attack Xiangping County disguised as horse merchants to snatch the city gate. Then he dispatched Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou to lead the cavalry to attack aggressively. Zu Dashou beheaded Gongsun, the magistrate of Xiangping County. Zhao, broke the defenders of Xiangping.

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

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

Black smoke billows from the burning wooden house, and charred wood is scattered all over the place.

Zhou Yafu took the soldiers to put out the flames in the city.

When attacking a city, he can destroy the city without hesitation, create chaos, and after the city is taken down and become his own territory, he must appease the people.

Chutian did not embarrass the residents and players of Langya City, because they would be taxed in the future. There are people who have money.

It is unimaginable for Chutian to gain the benefits of annexing the first power of the Three Kingdoms.

This is a large city, the largest city in Langya, 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 without a trace. Among them, 500 soldiers of the fourth tier, 3,000 of the third tier, and the rest are all first- and second-tier troops, including 7,000 Taishan thieves. people."

Mulan temporarily counts the number of captives.

Chu Tian frowned, he didn't expect Zang Ba's army to have so many Taishan thieves.

Taishan Bandit does not belong to the conventional arms, it should be a special arm, but it is incomparable with the special arms such as Xiliu Battalion and Shesheng Battalion. It is similar to the peasant armies such as the Yellow Turban Soldier, the Yellow Turban Long, and the Chuangwang Refugee Army.

"There is also a heavy cavalry of 150 people and a heavy infantry of 350 people, which have not been used in time."

Hua Mulan reported something that caught Chu Tian's eyes.

Zang Ba is different from other Taishan thieves leaders. He wants to turn the Taishan thieves under his command into professional soldiers. He also formed a 500-strong heavy armored army, consisting 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 armored army was useless at all. After Sun Guan surrendered, the 500-strong heavy armored army also became Chutian's trophy.

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

"

Chutian has not formally recruited a heavy cavalry, and the existing heavy cavalry depends entirely on capture.

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

With high salaries and equipment, the number of heavy cavalry is surprisingly small.

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

The heavy infantry's defense is amazing, and last week's Yav is good at defense, it 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 Xiacheng.

There is a huge stone tablet 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 area of ​​Xia City. The prosperity of Langya City will be counted into your total territorial prosperity. You can issue orders to Langya City."

Xiacheng in Chutian is already at the city level, and there is no restriction on the number or level of vassal villages and towns. As long as the influence of Xiacheng is within the scope of influence, coupled with the actual control, Langya City can be turned into a vassal.

So Langya City became a vassal of Xia City.

Chutian still intends to build Xiacheng, and regard 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, an archer battalion, a cavalry battalion, and special buildings such as the Loyalty Temple, but Langya City may not have it.

"387,000 people..."

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

However, the public sentiment and public order in Langya City were greatly reduced 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 silver warehouse and granary?"

Chutian is more concerned with practical interests.

The purpose of launching wars is to expand the territory, and the territory is related to population, gold and silver, and food.

Hua Mulan counted military data, while Fang Xuanling was looking at Langya City's household registration, financial and other account books.

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

"It seems that Zang Ba has collected a lot of gold and silver grains."

When Chu Tian learned about Langya City's silver treasury and grain reserves, Rao Shi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

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

It could theoretically feed 110,000 soldiers.

In fact, it is not the case. War horses and pack horses are big consumers of grain. Soldiers consume more grain than usual when fighting, and rural braves who transport grain also need to consume grain.

Another situation that can lead to a decrease in food is to be attacked by the enemy, or to set fire to the granary.

In addition to preparing surplus grain for the defense of the city or for disaster relief, 110,000 units of grain to feed 20,000 to 40,000 soldiers are already quite reluctant.

"To get 420,000 taels of silver, now we should be able to share the pressure of cool summer."

Chutian thought of Xia Liang, who was often troubled by accounts, that 420,000 taels of silver was undoubtedly a lot of income for Xiacheng. It can ease the financial pressure of Xiacheng.

"In addition to gold, silver, money, and food, there are thousands of weapons of various kinds. The lord can use these weapons and captured soldiers to attack Yangdu County north."

Fang Xuanling supports Chutian's plans for continuous expansion.

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, attacking Yangdu County northward will definitely catch the various forces in Xuzhou by surprise.

"Have a rest day, take prisoners, and don't disturb the people. Hua Mulan, Xue Li, and Li Guang take turns to lead the supervisory team to patrol the city. If anyone disturbs the people, no matter who it is, they will be executed immediately."

Chu Tian arranged it.

After annexing the army of Langya City, Hua Mulan's light cavalry number increased to 2,500, most of them came from the families of Zang Ba and Sun Guan. After being absorbed by Chutian, they became very impressive.

Suddenly possessing a 2,500-man light cavalry and a 300-heavy cavalry, Chutian now feels like a rich man.

If it hadn't been for the Tang army's tens of thousands of cavalry at the Battle of Anshicheng, Chutian would have already drifted away.

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

The cavalry of Zang Ba and Sun Guan can only be seen by the heavy cavalry of 150 people.

"These two people, escorting them to the army, let them see, we can also defeat the Taishan bandit frontally."

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

Before going north to attack Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changxi, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling had already counted the troops they had collected.

"In Jiqiu County to the south, there is a band of thieves from Mount Tai, and Tao Qian in Xiapi may also go north. The offensive must be as fast as wind and as fierce as fire. Leave 5,000 people to guard Langya City, 3,000 people to guard Xia City, and the rest are 15,000 people. Yangdu County."

"Xia Tianliang, you immediately send someone to contact the Mi family and ask Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to strongly discourage Tao Qian from sending troops. Whatever conditions the Mi family proposes, you can agree to it temporarily. If the conditions are too harsh, you can leave it later."

Chutian also made a series of deployments.

It was good that Langya City was captured, but it also meant that Chutian changed the pattern of Xuzhou and stabbed a hornet's nest.

In Xuzhou now, there are prefects Tao Qian, Taishan thieves, remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, prefects of various places, and player lords. There are dozens of forces, big and small.

The most troublesome thing for Chutian is Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. After all, Tao Qian was the prefect of Xuzhou. As long as he ordered, tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers would go north to attack Xiacheng.

Xiapi City is separated from Xiacheng and Langya City by two or three counties, and is connected by the Yi River. The Xuzhou army can arrive in less than half a month.

Tao Qian also has a team of Yihe navigators.

The only people who can contain Tao Qian are the Mi family who have given Tao Qian financial support.

Chutian was betting that the Mi family would choose between Tao Qian and himself.

The main basis is not strength, but age. Tao Qian was too old, and he might die of old age or illness at any time, but Chu Tian was young and strong, and he captured Langya City, and he could fight for decades. Who should he choose, Chu Tian believed that the Mi family should choose properly.

The cavalry with the Tang knife hanging on the 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 war, and at this time Langya City has 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 hands.

The teleportation array can teleport soldiers to other cities, and theoretically, 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 the other cities. There is also a huge price to pay, starting with 5 taels of silver.

The greater the distance, the greater the cost.

The number of people in each batch of teleportation is limited. The teleportation array in large cities can only transmit 500 people at a time, and the cooling time is one hour. If it is non-stop around the clock, it can only transmit 12,000 soldiers a day. It is easy to be ambushed by the other city and die in battle.

The teleportation array of each city has garrisoned troops.

Currently, the teleportation formation in Langya City can only travel between Luoyang and Langya City.

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

In any case, Chutian has a teleportation array, which is better than nothing.

"Everyone from Langya to Luoyang costs 10 taels of silver. I don't know how much tax the lord can charge."

Chutian believes that the teleportation array can make 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. Using the teleportation array alone, Chutian can only earn 100 copper coins.

Chutian, who originally wanted to exploit the loophole, gave up this plan.

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

Sending an army of 10,000 people to Luoyang would not only take a day, but also 100,000 taels of silver. Few lords were willing to waste that much money.

There is also a huge limitation. When the city is surrounded, the teleportation array will forcibly fail.

That is to say, as long as the enemy's troops are under the city, unless the opponent withdraws, the people in the city cannot escape, nor can they use the teleportation array to obtain reinforcements.

Chu Tian can understand this, otherwise, no one will be caught.

"It's better to use the teleportation array as little as possible in the future. An army of ten thousand people will often cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even 100,000 taels of silver. After a few times of teleportation, it is estimated that I will go bankrupt."

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

Chutian's army rested for a day in Langya City, recharged, and distributed the soldiers who surrendered to various generals. On the third day of the capture of Langya City, Chutian went to attack Yangdu County without stopping, to solve the two forces that threatened Chutian, Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changxi.

He wanted to defeat them one by one before the forces of Langya Kingdom started to join forces.

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

"The army I just want to farm well is on the move again, what exactly is he trying to do?"

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

Qi Xiaobai, who was dispatched to Langya City, wanted to keep up with Chu Tian's troops and investigate Chu Tian's movements.

However, whether it is Xiacheng or Langya City, the city was ordered to be closed, and no one should leave the city.
