Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

"Capture Tancheng and capture Leyi alive!"

Under the urging of the supervising team, groups of captured Xuzhou infantry continued to attack Tancheng day and night, with two or three thousand casualties every day.

Facing the attack of the army of Langya, Tancheng was impregnable and stood still.

Li Guang took the soldiers to storm many times and tried to climb first, but was blocked by the ten-meter-high city wall, which was difficult to break through.

Le Yi personally defended the city, prepared various defense equipment, and had 30,000 soldiers to defend it. If he wanted to forcibly capture Tancheng, he would need at least 100,000 elites.

The military advisor Fang Xuanling frowned as he looked at the city of Tancheng, which had not been under it for days.

Li Guang and Xian Deng's team withdrew, and they complained to Fang Xuanling: "The opponent's defense has no flaws. At this time, a strong attack is not the best strategy."

Fang Xuanling nodded silently.

"I also asked the strategist to persuade the lord to attack the heart and attack the city as the lower. The storming of Tancheng will only waste low-level soldiers, and it will also consume labor. The morale of the army will also decline due to repeated attacks. There will be a surprise attack out of the city."

Zhou Yafu, who has always been calm, also took the initiative to find Fang Xuanling.

At this time, only Fang Xuanling's words could be heard by Chu Tian.

"Half of the troops were lost in one battle, and all the generals suffered casualties, even Miss Xia... It is inevitable that the lord will lose control. Now that the attack on Tancheng has lasted for three days, and six or seven thousand prisoners have been killed or injured, the lord should calm down."

Fang Xuanling knew that when a man was angry, he splattered blood for five steps, and when the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses and bleed thousands of miles. As a lord with a population of several million, Chutian is really angry, and it is not impossible for tens of thousands of people to die.

"Order to stop the siege and conduct a siege."

"Lord."

When the generals saw Chu Tian appear, his expression seemed to return to calm.

Chutian came out of the tent and looked at the generals who had been attacking Tancheng for three days. Seeing that everyone was tired, he issued an order to stop the attack.

In one go, it might be possible to conquer Tancheng.

But now the storm has not been attacked for three days, which shows that Tancheng is really indestructible.

Chutian also took this time to calm down.

There is no need to sacrifice the captured Xuzhou infantry, because after Chutian becomes Xuzhou shepherd, they will become a part of the new Xuzhou army and attack the city for him.

"Le Yi's offensive is sharp, and the defense is equally indestructible. He is really a troublesome opponent."

Chutian surrounded Le Yi in Tancheng, but there was nothing he could do about him.

Tancheng has a series of fortifications such as strong city walls, city gate towers, arrow towers, city gates, etc., as well as sufficient defensive equipment, as well as a famous general, even if an army of 100,000 cannot be conquered.

The next step is an endless siege, and the enemy will surrender until the enemy's army and supplies are exhausted.

Coupled with the fact that the Leyi Corps had killed a lot of Chutian, Chutian understood why Cao Cao massacred the city when he attacked Xuzhou.

It's irritating at times, and even heroes can lose their minds.

"Master, how can we break through the city as soon as possible?"

Chutian did not want to delay too much time in Tancheng, otherwise the Xuzhou coalition would have enough time to regroup and organize the next attack.

Fang Xuanling replied: "Attack the heart is the first, attacking the city is the second. Try to lure some foreigners and noble families who are besieged in the city, and divide the defenders."

"According to what you said. In addition, shoot a note into the city, capture Le Yi alive, open the door to offer the city, let go of the past and reward thousands of taels of gold."

According to Fang Xuanling's suggestion to differentiate the other party, Chu Tian took out a thousand taels of gold and offered a reward to Le Yi.

You can attack Tancheng without a strong attack, and then capture the famous general Le Yi alive, even if you pay a thousand taels of gold, it is not much.

"Before their internal division, they dug trenches outside the city, set up earthen fortresses, surrounded them, and did not give them a chance to sneak out of the city. The navy camp blocked the surface of the Yi River, making Tancheng completely an isolated city."

"It is somewhat difficult for our troops to completely surround Tancheng..."

"My lord, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led the East China Sea National Rebel Army to join us. There are more than 20,000 Rebels!"

When Chutian was deploying troops to besiege the city, the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang fought all the way from Donghai Guoqu County to Donghai Guotan City, and finally joined forces with Chutian.

As for Mi Fang's claim to be against the vanguard general and the unparalleled general of the Langya country, Chu Tian can do as he pleases, as long as the Mi family provides financial support.

Following the victory of the Battle of Xuzhou, all the counties in the East China Sea were terrified, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did not encounter any obstacles when they marched towards Tancheng, and the number of troops instead increased from 10,000 to 20,000.

Teams of carriages transported the gold and silver to Chutian's barracks. Mi Zhu's keen sense of smell made him understand that now Chutian was short of money, very short of money.

Without money to recruit troops and horses, Chutian would not be able to consolidate the existing results and occupy the entire Xuzhou.

At this time, giving charcoal in the snow will make Chutian more rewarding in the future.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang finally saw the victorious Chu Tian in Tancheng, and there was a bit of fear in their eyes.

With military merit, the victor naturally has an invisible coercion.

In addition, Chutian now has the status of an aristocratic family, and it is even higher than the Mi family in the contempt chain of the scholars, farmers and industry.

"I have prepared 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 catties of salt to reward the army. It may not be enough. Please don't take offense to General Fubo. It is difficult to raise more in a hurry."

Mi Zhu explained that one tael of silver was equal to one thousand copper coins, and one hundred thousand taels was one hundred million.

The 100,000 taels of silver were raised in a hurry, showing the wealth of the Mi family.

The main assets of the Mi family are goods, farmland, shops and other hard-to-realize assets.

"One hundred thousand taels is already quite a lot. The Mi family sent charcoal in the snow, I will remember this kindness."

"There are still more than 20,000 rebels, many of them are slaves, and they will all be the property of General Fubo in the future."

Mi Zhu not only donated money, but also people, and even Chu Tian was a little afraid of his generosity.

I almost didn't bring my sister up.

The Mi brothers had nothing to say except for their military talents.

"I will try to make up for the loss of the Mi family in this battle of Xuzhou in the future, please don't worry. If brother Mi Fang doesn't give up, he will temporarily serve as the Sima of another department to assist Xu Sheng in transporting food."

Since the Mi family had stated that Chutian couldn't just ignore them if they wanted benefits, and considering that Mi Fang's ability was a problem, Chutian arranged for him to assist in the transportation of food and other rear matters.

After Mi Fang left, in order to win over Mi Zhu, Chu Tian deliberately said: "If things can be done in the future, Brother Mi will not lose the position of general and feudal lord."

It was an empty check anyway, and Chu Tian, ​​eager to get gold and silver to supplement his losses, managed to win over Mi Zhu.

Seeing that Chu Tian made a promise, Mi Zhu knew that he could get the position he wanted in the future, so he worked harder: "In the next two months, I should be able to raise another 100,000 taels of silver to supplement the military."

How rich is the Mi family close to the sea...

Chutian found that Mi Zhu could almost buy a town with 100,000 taels of silver at every turn.

"With the help of Brother Mo, why can't you achieve great things. If..."

Chu Tian has made an inch.

"Sir, you might as well say it straight."

"If Brother Mi can contact other aristocratic families and ask them to help me enter Xuzhou and become the new Xuzhou shepherd, that would be great. But there is no need to force it. The capture of Xuzhou is only a matter of time. With the support of the aristocratic family, we can save less damage. Just some soldiers and horses."

"It's easy to say. Maybe the Chen family in Xiapi is willing to give up the dark to the light."

Xiapi Chen family?

The characters Chutian knew were Chen Gui and Chen Deng and their sons. Both of them were smart people and should know how to work around them.

Tao Qian's elite went through three battles, the Beihai Kingdom's suppression of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Cao Bao's invasion of Langya Kingdom, and the battles of Xuzhou.

Even Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers lost a lot.

Now that Tao Qian's rule in Xuzhou is in jeopardy, the family that is still willing to support Tao Qian may have to weigh the possibility of being purged by Chu Tian in the future.

"You go and contact the Chen family in Xiapi. If they are willing to respond, they will not lose their positions as prefects and state ministers in the future."

Chu Tian intends to recruit the Chen family.

The Chen family's father and son are very capable, and being the prefect of a party is enough to reassure Chu Tian.

There are five counties in Xuzhou, and each county must have talents to govern. Chutian lacks talents for internal affairs.

Mi Zhu agreed and sent someone to lobby the Chen family in Xiapi.

Mi Fang went to help Xu Sheng transport food, and Mi Zhu temporarily stayed in the camp.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brought more than 20,000 people, 10,000 of them were professional soldiers, and more than 10,000 were villagers.

Professional soldiers were incorporated into various battalions by Chutian to supplement their troops, while Xiang Yong went to Xiacheng and transferred to professional soldiers.

The Chutian army, which has taken prisoners from Xuzhou and reinforcements from the Mi family, has grown in strength, with 70,000 to 80,000 troops!

It seems that more and more troops are fighting, but only Chu Tian knows that half of the elites are indeed gone.

He needs time to reorganize the legion, and then after the baptism of war, can he truly recover.

In the future, when the strength of the army is inferior, it is absolutely impossible to confront the commander-type hero head-on.

The Leyi incident taught Chutian a lot of lessons.

There are also intelligence errors.

Xiang Yan's real lord secretly contacted the players of the Xueyue Guild and asked for one hundred taels of silver, so he got accurate information.

In the future, the identity of the leader of the other party needs to be repeatedly confirmed.

The lords who can survive have no good stubbornness, and they will be calculated by them if they are not careful.

Especially when Chutian has the advantage, the other party still competes with him for Xuzhou, which must be a little courageous.

Beihai Kingdom, Jimo, the lord Zhao Gongzi failed to persuade him to surrender after besieging the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou for more than half a year, and finally could not hold back. He recruited hundreds of thousands of villagers from Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County to attack Jimo.

During the siege, he had ordered the army to fill in all the moats and trenches outside Jimo City.

The next thing to face is the solid body of Jimo City.

After learning that Chutian had begun to attack Xuzhou, Zhao Gongzi accelerated his attack on Jimo.

Dorgon, Wu Sangui, and Guan Hai have dragged him down for too long, which seriously affected his development speed.

Like Xuzhou, Qingzhou has a weak local power, and alien lords are popular.

Originally, Young Master Zhao could swept Qingzhou faster, but as a result, a Jimo city contained his main force, and the development speed was greatly affected.

"Chu Zimou has already won the battle of Xuzhou, and he will be sitting in Xuzhou within a year or two. If I can't break the game, Qingzhou will also become his possession."

Zhao Gongzi knew that Qingzhou and Xuzhou were not separated, and someone who occupied Xuzhou would definitely plot against Qingzhou.

His development speed has been slower than that of Chutian. If he does not speed up the expansion, he will not be able to compete with Chutian in the future.

"I will send envoys again to persuade Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Guan Hai and others who are trapped in the city to surrender. I am willing to negotiate with them before the battle."

Taishi Ci had left the incompetent Kong Rong during this period of time, and swore allegiance to Zhao Gongzi.

Kong Rong was incomparable with a great Confucian like Lu Zhi. He was repeatedly defeated by the Yellow Turbans. In addition to the stark contrast of Zhao Gongzi's repeated victories, after Taishi Ci weighed it, he still followed Zhao Gongzi.

He heard that Zhao Gongzi was going to the city of Jimo to negotiate with Dorgon, so he said to stop it: "My lord, they are like leopards, ambitious, and recruiting them is difficult to control."

"They are human beings after all. If they are human, they will have weaknesses, and if they have weaknesses, they will be controlled. Their former lords can't use people, but I am different. I have the ability to use them, and I have what they always wanted and couldn't. thing."

The envoys sent by Zhao Gongzi arrived in Jimo.

Dorgon, Wu Sangui, and Guan Hai were trapped in Jimo. They were facing an alien lord who had the means and strength.

Although there is no shortage of food, the food will eventually run out after being besieged for another year and a half.

During this time, Dorgon and Wu Sangui wanted to get the seventh-order cavalry battalion, but they couldn't get it, and they were suppressed by Zhao Gongzi.

"Zhao Gongzi's army has begun to attack, indicating that he is already in a hurry. What made him so anxious?"

"I heard that Chu Zimou is attacking Xuzhou, and most of him feel the threat of Chu Zimou. Last year they joined forces to suppress us, but now they are going to part ways. It seems that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

Dorgon stood on the city wall, looking down at the villagers who were under the city, Zhao Gongzi Zhengfa, who came to besiege the city, all over the mountains and plains.

Wu Sangui came over: "He persuaded us to surrender again, and planned to ask me to wait under the city to negotiate. He said that there was a seventh-level cavalry battalion in his territory."

"Promise him, we agree to negotiate. Chu Zimou has Xu Wangqing, and it is of little significance to continue to defend this strong city."

Dorgon held on for more than half a year, waiting for the situation to change, but Zhao Gongzi always sent the main force to besiege Jimo, and Dorgon could not find any chance to come back. If it drags on, he won't be able to develop.

The forces of Beihai State represented by Zhao Gongzi negotiated with the forces of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans represented by Dorgon under Jimo City.

The Han court lost its majesty, and the shocking Qingzhou Yellow Turbans no longer attracted attention. The remaining Qingzhou Yellow Turbans negotiated with Zhao Gongzi, which did not cause a sensation in the entire Eastern Han region, but caused quite a stir in Qingzhou.

At this time, Chu Tian, ​​who was besieging the city in the East China Sea, learned that Zhao Gongzi was trying to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and secretly ordered the northern towns of Langya to recruit soldiers to increase the troops in the northern part of Langya.

He and Zhao Gongzi were still allies, but he was very defensive. If Zhao Gongzi recruited Dorgon and others to surrender, and suddenly went south to Langya, Chu Tian would be very passive.

Alliances are based on common interests, and in the event of conflict of interest, the alliance may collapse.

"Dorgon, Wu Sangui, Guan Hai, these are all fierce people, all of which fall into the hands of Zhao Gongzi. If he uses it well, it will be a trouble..."

Chutian realizes the threat posed by erstwhile allies.
