Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 112: Beat 6 towns
The coalition forces in the six towns of Hedong are still resisting Zhou Yafu's three towns. Their strategy is to hold on, which will consume Zhou Yafu's patience.
However, as time went on, they gradually couldn't hold back.
"Someone has taken over my town!"
A mayor suddenly shouted.
He has received a notification from the system that his town was captured by Liu Sandao of Xiazhen, and his status as a lord has been deprived by the system.
When the territory is occupied, he can still command his troops, but the morale of the soldiers will drop rapidly, and even deserters will appear.
The other five mayors looked at each other, and it seemed that Zhou Yafu's purpose of encircling them was to divide his troops and occupy other towns.
The six-town coalition forces concentrated their forces in one town in order to better deal with Zhou Yafu, but after Zhou Yafu was supplied with troops, he already had the ability to divide his troops.
"The other side divided their troops and occupied the towns. If we continue like this, we are too passive. There is only one lonely town left, and we can't defend it no matter what. Not to mention the grain harvest in a month, in case they cut off the wheat to supplement the army rations. , can't we just stare?"
"Without food, thousands of civilians and 3,000 defenders in this town will starve to death."
"There's no other way but to attack and see if we can defeat the historical military general on the opposite side. He divides his troops to occupy all places, and this is our only chance to win. If we can defeat him, we may be able to capture a historical military general!"
The six mayors were forced to fight after deliberation.
If we don't fight again, this town will become a lonely town, and there is no doubt that we will lose.
The town gate opened, and three thousand coalition troops assembled to fight against Zhou Yafu's more than a thousand men.
"What formation are they in?"
Zhou Yafu couldn't help frowning when he saw that the six town masters on the opposite side were lined up in six square formations with extremely poor cooperation.
This is also a common problem with temporary coalition forces.
The three thousand coalition forces could not wait to fight Zhou Yafu, and a dozen flags were displayed to direct the coalition to attack.
The archers on both sides shot at each other, and the infantry advanced, fighting for the land of Hedong in the south of Kaiyang County.
The infantrymen of the Xiliu Battalion, wearing double armor, had high morale, formed a phalanx with halberds, held their shields to charge, and could still maintain the formation.
Arrows fell on shields and armor, and some soldiers of the Xiliu battalion were killed by the arrows, and the halberd-wielding infantry in the rear immediately made up for it.
The Xiliu Camp collided with the light infantry on the opposite side, and the two sides fought hand to hand!
The strength of the sixth-tier arms is vividly displayed at this moment.
The morale of the six-town coalition army is rapidly declining, and Zhou Yafu's ability to "govern the army" can maintain morale for a long time. Under this situation, the six-town coalition forces are in jeopardy.
Zhou Yafu stood on a temporary wooden tower and observed the situation of the entire battlefield.
He seemed to be aware of the opponent's weakness—one of the six-town coalition forces had fallen to the bottom of its morale, and it was the troops of the mayor who had lost his territory.
"Light cavalry, detour to the right and attack the second enemy army on the right!"
"Yes!"
The 100 light cavalry sent by Chutian played a decisive role in this decisive battle. When the two sides fought fiercely, Zhou Yafu sent light cavalry to attack the other party's demoralized troops, and the six-town coalition completely collapsed.
"The trend is over, it's not the crime of war..."
The six mayors saw that the small army of Xiliu had defeated their army and lost the courage to continue resisting.
This battle cannot be fought. They lack the ability to command thousands of people to fight. At this time, the combined command of the coalition forces is chaotic. In Zhou Yafu's opinion, there are flaws everywhere.
If the opponent is also a famous general, perhaps Zhou Yafu can be given a headache by virtue of the advantage of the number of people.
Before the decisive battle, the six mayors had their white flags ready. Finding that he could not defeat Zhou Yafu, he immediately raised a white flag to express his surrender.
Now there is no deep hatred between the two sides, just a normal war between the lords, they believe that the other side will not execute them.
Fortunately, what Chu Tian got was Zhou Yafu, not Bai Qi, otherwise their fate would be hard to say.
Zhou Yafu accepted their surrender and did not tie them up, but put them under house arrest and demanded that they surrender the ownership of the territory.
The six mayors are downcast, their lordships are over, and they can't even get out of Kaiyang County, let alone compete in the Central Plains.
Most of the minor lords' territories were either destroyed in the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion or annexed by the high lords.
The real lord who can dominate a county is one in ten thousand.
"It's not ashamed to lose to the third-ranked lord in the Eastern Han region."
The six mayors consoled themselves.
Zhou Yafu asked: "Where is further east?"
After he captured Hedong Jiuzhen, he still seemed dissatisfied.
Chutian's order was to capture the Hedong area of the Yihe River, but did not specify where the attack would stop. Hedong is still quite a large area.
"Further east is the Shu River. Without boats, it is difficult to continue to expand eastward. After crossing the Shu River, there is a hill and few people live there. Further east is the area of Xihai County, which is a relatively long and narrow coastal area. zone.”
A town mayor has clearly done his homework when choosing the site for his territory, and he knows the surrounding terrain extremely well.
Zhou Yafu fell into a brief silence.
He is currently located in the plain between the Yi River and the Shu River, with rivers and hills to the east, it is indeed difficult to continue to expand eastward~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that it can only expand to here, and it takes a lot to digest this territory. time. "
Zhou Yafu gave up the idea of continuing to expand eastward, the cost of continuing to expand is too high.
The six captured mayors looked at each other again, and the general in front of him seemed to be dissatisfied. This is the nine towns in Hedong. The nine towns plus the vassal villages have nearly 100,000 people.
A population of 100,000 is quite a large population in the early stage.
"Send them to Xia Town and wait for the lord."
Zhou Yafu asked the soldiers of Xiliu Camp to **** the prisoners to Xia Town, and he personally sat in Hedong Jiu Town.
Hedong Jiuzhen is a newly conquered territory, and its popularity is low and unreliable.
Not only players may use the popular will to cause trouble, but some townspeople may also rise up and rebel against Chutian's "brutal" rule.
The treatment of the six mayors who surrendered after defeat was still different from that of the mayor who surrendered without a fight.
The mayor who surrendered without a fight can even get credit for serving in the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Xia Town, while most of the lords who surrendered and were imprisoned for a period of time were demoted to civilians. As for the lord who brought a lot of losses to Xia Town, the treatment may be even worse.
"Now, the nine towns in Hedong have also been obtained. Together, there are twenty-one towns. With twenty-one towns, is it possible to shake a large city?"
Zhou Yafu compared the strengths of Chu Tian and Zang Ba, and shook his head slightly.
According to conventional siege tactics, in "Lord", twenty-one towns are really not as useful as a large city. Unless it is twenty-one third-level towns.
Large cities also have special teleportation arrays, and this building alone can make countless lords jealous.
Zhou Yafu said to himself: "My lord, how do you take down a large city?"
