Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 90: A surprise attack on Liangshan Park

The morning fog had not yet receded, and a small group of soldiers had already entered the town along the path of the back mountain of Liangshan, shouting and killing all at once!

Many of the water bandits who were still sleeping with their arms around the woman hurriedly picked up the knives around their heads and went out, waiting for them to be arrows shot by the Xuzhou archers.

"The lieutenant of Kaiyang County led his troops to seek out the thieves!"

More and more soldiers entered Liangshanbo, under the banner of officers and soldiers.

No matter how many water bandits there are, they are only thieves. I heard that the officers and soldiers came to seek the thieves, and I was scared to death.

Because it was a sneak attack, the city walls and wooden arrow towers of the first-level towns were useless.

Zhou Yafu commanded the infantry to block all roads in the town and try to wipe out this vicious water bandit as much as possible.

"The big boss, the officers and soldiers came in!"

"Come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later, so what are you afraid of! Grab a few alive to block arrows and kill them!"

The head of the water bandit with a scar on his face was wicked and courageous. He put another piece of gold or two in his arms, and with a few cronies and prisoners, tried to escape from the chaotic battlefield.

The river near the Yi River has frozen, and the advantages of the water bandits cannot be exerted, so they can only fight on land.

As long as Zhou Yafu has enough troops, it is still very easy to bully the water bandits.

A row of light infantrymen holding long spears blocked the intersection, using various obstacles such as wooden boards to block it. Behind it was a Xuzhou archer holding a longbow, using the gap between the light infantry to shoot and kill the water bandits who were trying to break through.

The light infantry raised their spears and advanced step by step, compressing the living space of the water bandits.

The water bandits who were blocked in the center of the town became more and more flustered. They were trapped in Zhou Yafu's ambush and could not escape at all.

Zhou Yafu was the main force in the attack on Liangshanbo. When Chu Tian led the reserve team, Zhou Yafu had successfully surrounded most of the water bandits.

As for the water bandits patrolling the city wall, seeing the situation is not good, they abandoned the city and fled.

Outside, there are light cavalry from Xiazhen in ambush, intercepting the fleeing water bandits.

"The officers and soldiers blocked all the streets, they seemed to know the layout of the whole town in advance!"

"There must be an inner ghost among us, colluding with the government!"

The water bandits became more and more nervous, and held a dozen townspeople in their hands, trying to negotiate with the officers and soldiers.

"Lord, the water bandits want to negotiate with us by taking the townspeople in their hands as hostages. Are we negotiating or attacking?"

Zhou Yafu faced this difficult situation and left it to Chu Tian to make the final decision.

It seems like a dozen lives, but it is actually an important choice, because it determines the first plan that Chutian and his subordinates will consider when facing similar situations in the future.

Chu Tian knew that he could not be soft-handed, otherwise, how would he defend the city after the enemy forces held the people hostage and captured the city?

"This is no longer a public security incident in the town, but a war. I will not be threatened and will attack immediately."

Chutian's decision will prevent any future military operations in Xia Town from being threatened by the enemy's use of civilians.

"As ordered."

After all, Zhou Yafu has seen too many lives and deaths on the battlefield. Liangshanbo has become a battlefield. In order to cut grass and roots, it is impossible to let go of the main thief.

Under the command of Zhou Yafu, Xia Town's troops successfully suppressed the water bandits, and half of the townspeople who were kidnapped by the water bandits survived.

"In the past, a general was held hostage, and the lieutenant was unwilling to compromise. He attacked the assassin, and the assassin abandoned his weapons and surrendered. Later, the monarch heard about this and ordered that the army should not be concerned about the safety of the hostages in the future, so nothing similar happened."

In order to appease Hua Mulan and others, Chu Tian told an allusion.

This allusion is really not made up by him, but a real historical allusion, which also happened in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The general who was kidnapped was Xiahou Dun, the assassin was the general Lu Bu sent to deceive, the lieutenant was Han Hao, and the monarch was Cao Cao.

Hua Mulan nodded: "My lord's actions must be correct."

"No, this is not the correct way to do it, it can only be said to be the only option. This can be done in the military. If it is a public security incident in the town, try to persuade it to surrender."

Chutian clearly distinguishes between war and public security.

Liangshanbo is a first-class town, but Chutian found that the resource buildings here are only second-class farmland, second-class mining field, and second-class logging farm. Then frantically build shipyards, barracks, docks, as well as brothels and taverns.

He brought Song, the lord of Liangshanbo, to the lord's mansion in time, and asked Song to hand over the ownership of this first-class town in time, making Liangshanbo a vassal town of Xia Town. Chutian renamed it Liangshan Town.

Song Jixiang wanted to get out of the control of the water bandits for a long time, but now that the water bandits were wiped out, he was relaxed and easily handed over the first-level town to Chu Tian without any conditions.

Liangshanbo has many buildings that are coveted by Chutian. Of course, it is not a brothel, but a fourth-class wharf and a third-class shipyard. This is a building that Xia Town does not have.

Tier 3 shipyards have been able to produce true warships—going boats.

"The property seized by the water bandits was piled up in the town's silver vault. They also captured a group of blacksmiths, one of whom was a senior blacksmith."

As the original lord of Liangshanbo, Song Jiji knew the situation here like the back of the hand.

Now that he is no longer a lord, Chutian will know about these things sooner or later, it is better to come out of the tray, maybe Chutian will have a reward.

"Senior Blacksmith?"

Xiazhen's special talents are basically intermediate or low-level talents, and high-level blacksmiths are very rare.

No wonder this group of water bandits are using sophisticated knives.

"Did this water bandit hijack the boats passing on the Yi River?"

"They make a living by looting boats, but recently, the Yi River has started to freeze, and they have been extravagant. The money and food they looted are not enough to use, so they robbed the surrounding villages and towns."

It seems that this group of water bandits are the ones that give the Mi family a headache~IndoMTL.com~ This group of water bandits are really bold, even the rich merchant ships of Xuzhou dare to loot.

This time he helped the Mi family to eliminate a threat, and the Mi family will definitely sell him a favor in the future.

As a first-class town, Liangshanbo is not so easy to conquer. If it wasn't for Song Jicheng who knew the truth of the town, Chutian might not be able to capture Liangshanbo, which has a dozen arrow towers and a four-meter city wall.

There are two walking warships by the river. There is a parapet on the side of the boat, which has a certain defensive ability. The crew is mainly oarsmen, who can carry a small number of pawns and are fast.

It was with the help of two walking boats and dozens of sentry ships that the water bandits in Liangshanbo successfully plundered the merchant ships of the Mi family. The Mi family would be helpless with this water bandit for a while.

"All the captive water bandits, above the small leader, will be executed. The rest will be slaves for eternity, not to marry a wife, not to be granted amnesty, and to go to the mines where the sun does not see the light of day to mine for atonement. Only labor can provide food." /

Chutian used the most severe punishment. The executed water bandits may be more fortunate than the living water bandits. They don't have to endure the torture of decades of hard labor.

"This place can be used as a naval base, connecting with the former Shuizhai and Xia Town in a straight line. The only problem is that this town has insufficient labor for mining resources."

Fang Xuanling observed the surrounding terrain. Liangshan Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Chutian annexed Liangshanbo and returned to Xiazhen with gold and silver and a senior blacksmith.

"Inform the Mi family that this group of water bandits has been eliminated by us, so they don't have to go to Zang Ba to negotiate."

Chu Tian is not someone who does good deeds without leaving his name. The favor of the Mi family is definitely something he wants.
