Lord of the Gaming World 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 minor prince entrenched in Langya Country.
The news quickly spread among the players, and soon the entire Eastern Han region knew that Langya City was captured by Chutian's army.
Xiangping County was in flames, 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 half a step faster than me..."
Ming Guan Zheng was very proud of breaking the Xiangping City, and when he heard the news, he was a little depressed.
The method he used was almost exactly the same as that of Chutian. He dispatched players from the Yanqi Guild to attack Xiangping County disguised as horse merchants to **** the city gate. Then he dispatched Li Chengliang and Zu Dashou to lead the cavalry to attack aggressively. Zu Dashou beheaded Xiangping with one sword. The county magistrate, Gongsun Zhao, broke the defenders of Xiangping.
It's just that he captured Xiangping City half a day later than Chutian.
There is no additional reward for capturing the county town ahead of time. It doesn't hurt to miss this time, but Mingguan has a feeling of losing.
The burning wooden house is smoking black, and the charred wood is scattered all over the place.
Zhou Yafu led the soldiers to put out the fire in the city.
When attacking a city, you can destroy the city without any hesitation, create chaos, and after the city is taken down and become your own territory, you 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.
The benefits of Chutian's annexation of the first power of the Three Kingdoms are unimaginable.
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 thousands of others fled from other 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 thieves from Mount Tai.”
Hua Mulan temporarily counted the number of captives.
Chu Tian frowned. He didn't expect Zang Ba's army to have so many Taishan thieves.
The 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 the Xiliu Battalion and the 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 150-person heavy cavalry and a 350-person heavy infantry, 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-tier 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.
"With 150 Xuzhou heavy cavalry and 147 Goguryeo heavy cavalry, a total of about 300 heavy cavalry, I will finally have a force in my hands that can decide to defeat the enemy."
Chutian has not officially 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 was also a 350-man heavy infantry squad, which Chutian handed over to Zhou Yafu to command.
The defensive power of the heavy infantry is astonishing, coupled with Zhou Yafu's good 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 imposing 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 included in your total territorial prosperity. You can issue orders to Langya City."
Chutian's Xiacheng is already a city level, and there is no limit on the number and level of vassal villages and towns. As long as the influence of Xiacheng is within the scope of influence, coupled with actual control, Langya City can be turned into a vassal.
So Langya City became a vassal of Xia City.
Chutian still plans 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. Langya City may not have it.
"387,000 people..."
Chu Tian saw that the population of Langya City was seven times that of Xia City.
However, the public sentiment and public order in Langya City have been greatly reduced because of 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.
Another shortcoming is that the administrative efficiency of Langya City is not high under Zang Ba's governance.
"How much savings are there in the silver warehouse and granary?"
Chutian is more concerned with practical interests.
The purpose of launching a war is to expand the territory, and the territory is related to population, gold and silver, and food. Otherwise, no one will go to war for the sake of a false name.
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 storehouse and grain reserves, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
110,000 units of grain are equivalent to 110,000 civilians a year.
Theoretically, it could support 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 the villagers who transport grain also need to consume grain.
There is another situation that can lead to a decrease in food, that is, being attacked by the enemy, or setting 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 very difficult.
"Get 420,000 taels of silver, now you should be able to share the pressure of the cool summer."
Chu Tian thought of Xia Liang, who was often troubled by accounts, that 420,000 taels of silver was undoubtedly a lot of money for Xiacheng, even if 100,000 taels of silver were transferred from Langya City's silver vault to Xiacheng's silver The library can also 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 expanding plans.
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 in the north will definitely catch the various forces in Xuzhou by surprise.
"Take a day off, take prisoners, and don't disturb the people. Hua Mulan, Xue Li, and Li Guang take turns leading the supervisory team to patrol the city. If anyone disturbs the people, no matter who they are, they will be executed immediately."
Chutian 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 soldiers at the Battle of Anshicheng, Chutian would have drifted away by now.
Compared with the Tang army, 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, **** them to join the army, let them see, we can also defeat the Taishan bandit frontally."
Chu Tian had collected Zang Ba and Sun Guan's soldiers and horses, and he was more confident at this time.
Before heading north to attack Qi Xiaobai and Taishan thief Changxi, Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling had already counted the troops they had collected.
"There is a Taishan bandit in Jiqiu County in the south, and Tao Qian in Xiapi may also go north. The offensive must be as fast as wind and fierce as fire. Leave 5,000 people to guard Langya City, 3,000 people to guard Xia City, and the rest are 1.5 Wanji will take Yangdu County.”
"It's cool in the summer, 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 temporarily agree to it. If the conditions are too harsh, you can leave it later."
Chutian also made a series of deployments.
It is good that Langya City was captured, but it also means that Chutian changed the pattern of Xuzhou and stabbed the hornet's nest.
Now Xuzhou has the prefect Tao Qian, the Taishan thief, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, the prefects of various places, and the lords of players. There are dozens of large and small forces.
Chutian's biggest headache was Tao Qian, the prefect 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 all 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.
Chu Tian is betting that the Mi family will 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 around his waist patrolled the streets, and the civilians and players in the city didn't dare to breathe.
Many civilians and free players living in Langya City have not experienced the 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. 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 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 teleport 500 people at a time. The cooling time is one hour. .
Each city's teleportation array has garrisoned troops.
Currently, the teleportation array in Langya City can only travel between Luoyang and Langya City.
Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han region. It is a neutral city. Most people do not dare to take it. If they take Luoyang, they 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."
Chu Tian 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 will not only take a day, but also 100,000 taels of silver. Few lords are willing to spend so much money to waste.
There is another huge limitation. When the city is surrounded, the teleportation array will forcibly fail.
In other words, ~IndoMTL.com~ As long as the enemy forces are under the city, unless the enemy withdraws, the people in the city cannot escape, nor can they use the teleportation array to obtain reinforcements.
Chutian can understand this, otherwise, no one will be caught.
"In the future, it is better to use the teleportation array as little as possible. An army of 10,000 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 marching is too late, Chutian will not consider using the teleportation array.
Chutian's army rested for a day in Langya City, recharged its strength, and distributed the surrendered soldiers 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 wants to defeat them one by one before the forces of Langya start to join forces.
Otherwise, once these forces join forces, Chutian's position will be very passive.
"I just want to farm the army well again, what does he want 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 sent Xiaozuo to Langya City to keep up with Chutian's troops and investigate Chutian's movements.
However, whether it is Xiacheng or Langya City, the city is ordered to be closed, and no one should leave the city.
