Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 45: 2 Town Clash
Chutian is busy revitalizing the industry, and in Lingyan Town, about 25 kilometers away from Xia Town, 50 cavalry and 100 light infantry recruited by the lord "Datang Li Er" have been trained.
Hundreds of free players from the guild came to Lingyan Town one after another.
"This time our target is the tier 3 gold mine in Shangbi Village. Shangbi Village may have been occupied by a powerful lord. But we have to take the tier 3 gold mine anyway. The tier 3 gold mine Invest 100 labor and produce at least 30 taels of gold per month. If you increase labor, you will get more gold each month. With this gold, and my town has secondary pastures, our Lingyan Pavilion will Become the biggest force in Langya Kingdom. Before Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian becomes active, we must expand our territory as soon as possible!”
Datang Li Er glanced at the guild members present. With his troops and hundreds of free players, he should be able to capture the third-level gold mine.
"Go!"
50 light cavalry, 100 light infantry, 100 free players, and 300 rural warriors, the Lingyange coalition army marched towards Shangbi Village.
Chu Tian didn't know that his vassal village would soon be coveted by other lords. At this time, he was taking Li Kui to inspect the farmland. Li Kui organized a group of displaced people to divert water from the Yi River to the newly reclaimed farmland, and at the same time excavated drainage ditches and wells.
October is the season for sowing. Xiazhen plans to prepare farmland before October, and plan the cost of farmland reasonably. For farmland with loss of soil fertility, some grains and beans can be planted to accelerate the restoration of soil fertility.
The rhizobia of leguminous plants have a strong nitrogen-fixing ability, which is common sense Chutian still understands.
In addition to soybeans, oil crops such as peanuts can also be grown.
Soybean is a crop owned by the Eastern Han region. Peanuts and corn are in other civilized regions, and even the Champa rice, which is very important to the Eastern Han region, is in the Annan region. There are still seven or eight months before the opening of the civilized area, so the seeds of these crops cannot be bought.
Even if the civilized area is open, merchants from both sides need to transport goods through the vast sea.
Xia Town and the vassal villages implement a wheat-soybean crop rotation system.
"Lord Mayor."
Farmers in the farmland were clearing weeds and tidying the land carefully. They greeted them when they saw the lord Chu Tian and the farm official Li Kui coming to inspect the farmland.
Now Chutian will often come to inspect the farmland, and after upgrading to the city, it is estimated that he may not have time to go to the field in person.
Of course the farmland is not inside the town, but outside the town. The area covered by the rammed earth wall in the town is not large. During the Three Kingdoms period, the total length of the city walls of Ye, the capital of Cao and Wei, was only 10.3 kilometers. Generally speaking, administrative, commercial, residential and other buildings need the protection of city walls, and farmland, orchards, and mines occupy a large area outside the town. With a larger population, even outside the city walls, new city districts will form.
A fast horse galloped down a country road, and the cavalry on it shouted: "Get off, get off!"
Farmers on the dirt road give way to both sides.
Chu Tian frowned slightly. He said to Mulan, who was following him for inspection, "Stop him."
Hua Mulan blocked the dirt road, and the galloping cavalry had to stop.
The cavalry looked a little anxious, but after seeing that the person blocking the front was Hua Mulan, the cavalry who used to be under Hua Mulan immediately dismounted: "General!"
He saw Chu Tian again, and quickly knelt down: "Lord Lord!"
"When did you panic so much that you rode a horse in the field?"
Chutian's "separation of soldiers and peasants" policy clearly stipulates that soldiers cannot disturb the people at will, especially in peacetime, cavalry cannot gallop freely in the town on horseback, nor can they ride their horses in the fields to prevent trampling on farmland or hitting farmers.
The cavalry quickly explained: "The villain was ordered to guard Shangbi Village. When he was patrolling outside the village, he found an army marching towards Shangbi Village. Lord Wu Shang immediately sent me back to Xia Town to report!"
"The army? How many are they?"
"There are more than 500 people, including a lot of aliens!"
Chu Tian was shocked. He has not had any real battles with other lords, whether it is Xiaozhu Village or Yunlai Village, they all surrendered after seeing the bad situation. The conquest of Shangbi Village was only a small-scale battle with horse thieves.
As each lord's territory expands, some conflict is inevitable.
You can have an army composed of more than 500 soldiers and players, and the lord behind it must not be weak, at least own the town.
"The opponent's target is Shangbi Village. Shangbi Village is only a second-level village, not a third-level village. Then they are very likely to come for the third-level gold mine."
Although Li Kui is an internal affairs hero, his current intelligence of 75 is comparable to that of second- and third-rate advisors in the Eastern Han District. Hearing what the cavalry said, he quickly judged the opponent's intentions.
Chutian almost also thought of the third-grade gold mine in Shangbi Village. There are many people who know that there are third-level gold mines, miners from Shangbi Village, and the village chief who escaped when the horse thief came.
Sure enough, if you have good things, you have to be able to keep them.
"Alas, it's not enough if you want to farm well, you have to find trouble." Chu Tian patted the soil on his military boots, "Gather all the troops and ask Xiaozhu Village to send 300 villagers, and our Xia Town to send 400 A village brave. See who has more people!"
The Xuzhou archers in the barracks have a long training cycle and are still undergoing training. 60 elite infantrymen have already been trained.
40 cavalry, 40 Xuzhou archers, 140 elite infantry, a total of 220 professional soldiers gathered at the school grounds in Xiazhen.
Chu Tian is preparing to sow seeds in October. Trouble will come at this time, and he will have to send troops to settle it.
"Wait, the other party should be the lord who owns the town? I wonder if the town can become a vassal?"
Xia Town also has a place for a fourth vassal village.
It stands to reason that the level of the main city is higher than that of the branch city. For example, if Xiaozhu Village becomes a vassal of Xia Town, even if Xiaozhu Village meets the conditions for upgrading to a first-level town, it cannot be upgraded to a first-level town. It can only be upgraded after Xia Town is upgraded to a second-level town~IndoMTL.com~Chu It is also unclear whether a first-level town can be annexed. If a town of the same level can be annexed, Xia Zhen's strength will be even higher.
"Mr. Mayor, the village braves were filled with righteous indignation when they heard that the enemy had invaded. They are all willing to participate in the battle before the busy farming season."
Elder Li organized 400 village braves to join the war. The average level of village braves is about 20.
Xiangyong's fighting strength is lackluster, but at least the numbers seem terrifying.
Chu Tian appointed Zhao Qi, a bronze-ranked hero, to lead the Xiangyong troops. His characteristic [Xiangyong Commander Small] can give all attributes of Xiangyong +1, which is regarded as a small magic skill in the early stage.
Hua Mulan commands Xiazhen's most valuable 40 light cavalry. The 25% attack and defense bonus brought by Mulan allows Tier 1 light cavalry to be used as Tier 2 elite light cavalry.
Liu Sandao is in command of 40 Xuzhou archers, and the bow generals plus the characteristic [Dahan Army Soul·Small] grants two bonuses to the archers.
As for the elite infantry, Chu Tian personally commanded them. Chutian has no characteristic bonus, but the elite infantry's own attributes are already very good.
"If the other side retreats in spite of the difficulties, this is all. If the other side wants to fight, then defeat them and annex their territory."
While thinking about it, Chu Tian led 220 professional soldiers and 400 villagers from Xia Town out of the town.
"Ding! Announcement from Eastern Han District: All Eastern Han District players, please note that the first epic battle - 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' will start on December 1, the first year of the lord calendar. All lords and free players are requested to prepare in advance. Get ready!"
As soon as Chu Tian stepped out of Xia Town, he received shocking news.
The time for the first epic battle has been set, and there are now two and a half months to prepare!
