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

Before the early morning fog had receded, a small group of soldiers had already entered the town along the trail in the back mountain of Liangshan, and there were shouts of killing all at once!

Many water bandits who were still sleeping with their arms around the woman hurriedly picked up the ring-head knife and went out, waiting for them to be the sharp 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. When I heard that the officers and soldiers came to ask the thieves, I was so frightened that I lost my mind.

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 boss, the officers and soldiers came in!"

"When you come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. What are you afraid of! Catch a few alive to block arrows and kill them!"

With a scar on his face, the water bandit leader 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 bank of the Yi River has frozen, and the advantages of the water bandits cannot be exerted, and only land battles can be carried out.

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

A row of light infantry held long spears to block the intersection, and used 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 horizontally 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 fell into 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 that the situation was not good, they abandoned the city and fled.

Outside, there were light cavalry from Xia Town ambushing, 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, detaining more than a dozen townspeople, trying to negotiate with the officers and soldiers.

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

Faced with this difficult situation, Zhou Yafu left it to Chutian 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 could he defend the city by holding the people hostage and taking prisoners to attack the city in the future?

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

This decision of Chutian makes any future military operations in Xiazhen not threatened by the enemy's use of civilians.

"As ordered."

After all, Zhou Yafu has seen too many lives and deaths on the battlefield. Liang Shanbo 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 held hostage 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 the army not to worry 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 sent by Lu Bu to swindle the surrender, 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 right thing to do, it can only be said to be the only option. It can be done in the military,

If it is a public security incident in the town, try to persuade them to surrender. "

Chutian clearly divided the two situations of war and 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. Shipyards, barracks, docks, as well as brothels and taverns.

He brought Liangshanbo's lord Song 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 Jiji 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 Chutian unconditionally.

There are many buildings in Liangshanbo 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 Liang Shanbo, 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?"

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

No wonder this group of water bandits are using sophisticated ring swords.

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

"They make a living by looting ships, but recently, the Yi River has started to freeze, and they have been squandering the money and food they looted, so they went to rob the surrounding villages and towns."

It seemed that the water bandits who gave the Mi family a headache were this group of people.

This group of water bandits is really bold, even the rich merchant ships of Xuzhou dare to loot.

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

As a first-class town, Liangshanbo was not so easy to conquer. If it wasn't for Song Jihui, who knew the truth of the town, Chutian might not have been able to capture Liangshanbo, which had 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 looted the merchant ships of the Mi family. The Mi family would be helpless with this water bandit for a while.

"All the captured water bandits, above the small leader, will be executed. The rest will be slaves forever, 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, and the executed water bandits might be more fortunate than the living water bandits, they did not have to endure decades of hard labor.

"This place can be used as a naval base, connecting with the previous 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 was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The water bandits tried their best to build up buildings related to the navy.

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 was not someone who did good deeds without leaving his name, the favor of the Mi family was definitely something he wanted.
