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

The coalition forces in the six towns of Hedong were still resisting Zhou Yafu's three towns. Their strategy was to stick to it and 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 identity as a lord has been deprived of the system.

When the territory is occupied, he can still command his troops, but the morale of the soldiers will drop rapidly, and there will even be deserters.

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 each town. 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. Can't you just stare?"

"Without food, thousands of civilians and 3,000 defenders in this town will starve to death."

"There's no other way, we can only 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 might be able to capture a historical military general!"

After deliberation, the six mayors were forced to fight.

If we don't fight again, this town will become a lonely town, and we will lose without a doubt.

The town gate opened, and the 3,000-strong coalition army assembled to fight against Zhou Yafu's more than 1,000 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 for a decisive battle with Zhou Yafu, and more than a dozen flags were fluttered to direct the coalition forces 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 Xiliu Ying infantrymen wearing double armors had high morale, formed a square formation with halberds, and charged with shields, which could still maintain the formation.

Arrows fell on shields and armor, and some soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion were killed by arrows, and the halberd-wielding infantry in the rear immediately made up for it.

Xi Liuying collided with the light infantry on the opposite side, and the two sides fought hand to hand!

The strength of the sixth-order arms is vividly displayed at this moment, and the neat lineup is making great progress, and soon there is a tendency to pierce the opponent's formation!

The morale of the six-town coalition army is rapidly declining, and Zhou Yafu's characteristic of "governing 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 town 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 could not be fought. They lacked the ability to command thousands of people to fight. At this time, the combined command of the coalition forces was chaotic. In Zhou Yafu's opinion, there were 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 prepared white flags. Finding that he could not defeat Zhou Yafu, he immediately raised a white flag to express his surrender.

There is no deep hatred between the two sides yet.

It's just a normal war between the lords, they believe that the other side will not execute them.

Fortunately, what Chutian 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 were dejected, and their lordships ended. They couldn'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 lord who can really dominate a county is one in ten thousand.

"It's not ashamed to lose to the third territorial lord in the Eastern Han District."

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. Crossing the Shu River, it is a hilly area with very few people. Further east is the area of ​​Xihai County, which is a relatively long and narrow coastal area."

A town mayor clearly did his homework when selecting the site for the territory, and knew the surrounding terrain extremely well.

Zhou Yafu fell into a brief silence.

He is now located on the plain between the Yi River and the Shu River, with rivers and hills to the east, and it is indeed difficult to continue to expand eastward.

"It seems that we can only expand here, and it will take time to digest this territory."

Zhou Yafu gave up the idea of ​​continuing to expand to the east, the cost of continuing to expand is too high.

The six captured mayors looked at each other again, 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 was quite a large population in the early stage.

"Send them to Xia Town and wait for the Lord's release."

Zhou Yafu asked the soldiers of Xiliu Camp to escort the prisoners to Xia Town, and he personally sat in Hedong Jiu Town.

Hedong Jiuzhen is a territory that has just been conquered, and the people's hearts are very 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.

There is still a difference in the treatment of the six mayors who surrendered after defeat and those 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. Is it possible for twenty-one towns to shake a large city?"

Zhou Yafu still shook his head slightly after comparing the strength of Chu Tian and Zang Ba.

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 are you going to take down a large city?"
