Chapter 162 Wu Sangui's Ambition (Two Hundred Monthly Tickets)(1/2)
The battle in Yangdu County lasted for half a day. The coalition was defeated by the heavy cavalry led by Xue Rengui. Chu Tian took the opportunity to chase and kill the troops. More than 3,000 people were killed in the coalition, and more than 4,000 people were captured. All other soldiers and horses fled.
"I failed to capture Xu Sheng, but I captured a lord of Xihai County."
Zhou Yafu commanded the infantry and captured a lord who participated in the anti-Chutian alliance alive.
The lords usually commanded the rear, and the lord of Xihai County was considered unlucky and was captured by Zhou Yafu.
The ordinary lord Chu Tian didn't care much. There were countless lords who had been captured by Chu Tian over the past year. Chu Tian's territory is as large as today, so it was not given away for phone bills.
This lord comes from Xihai County.
Xihai County is located in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom and has an excellent sea outlet.
If Xihai County is occupied, Chutian can cook the sea into salt and conduct overseas trade at the same time. In the future, he can even form a real navy, an invincible navy that traverses the East China Sea, and go to conquer the Koryo and the Ultimate Warring States.
"I heard you formed an alliance against me?"
Chu Tian specifically ordered Zhou Yafu to bring the lord here.
The captured lord was dejected: "You are expanding too fast, and no one is willing to sit back and see your power grow, otherwise we small and medium-sized lords will have no chance of development at all. If you were in my position, you would have done this."
"You lead the territory of Xihai County to surrender to me. I can forgive you and at least be the mayor of you in the future."
Chu Tian intends to acquire a lord of Xihai County, expand his power to Xihai County, and compete for the sea port to pave the way for the future.
"Lord" is not just a civilization in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it was the end of the Han Dynasty, the sea estuary was not important at all, because the economically developed place was the Central Plains.
But there are other civilizations in "Lord". Opposite Xuzhou is the Kingdom of Goryeo and the Warring States Period of the United States, where goods can be dumped.
There is also sea salt, which is also a profitable specialty that can be dumped in the mainland.
"I'm willing to surrender."
The lord of Xihai County heard that he had a chance to survive. No matter what happens in the future, he would save his life first.
"You can leave now."
After Chu Tian finished speaking, he asked Zhou Yafu to let him go.
The lord of Xihai County felt incredible: "Can I leave? Do you not detain or execute me?"
"You go back and seize Xihai County for me. When I attack Xihai County, you still plan to resist, so there will be no such good thing."
Chu Tian releases a lord.
Execution of a lord is not very beneficial to him, and it will only attract more lords to resist.
Xihai County is not only one lord, but also other lords. If he is executed, his territory will be occupied or divided by other lords, and then a large lord who will occupy a county will be formed.
In order to avoid the unification of Xihai County, Chu Tian let him go back to check and balance.
"If you march into Xihai County in the future, I will be the pioneer!"
The lord of Xihai County made a promise to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian didn't believe it very much. He just let people go for his own interests and did not want to cause larger-scale conflicts from other lords.
After the lord of Xihai County was defeated and captured, he escaped from Chu Tian's camp. He was particularly unbelievable. Chu Tian easily let him go and promised that if he surrendered, he could become the mayor in the future.
As long as he is the mayor for a period of time, he may be promoted to county magistrate and is already the best. And he will not have to worry about being defeated and captured in the future.
There are actually not many lords qualified to compete for the Central Plains, and more lords are just stepping stones.
"I have been defeated and decided to withdraw from the alliance."
A lord from Xihai County was the first to withdraw from the alliance composed of seventeen lords of Langya Kingdom.
"Silly! Withdraw now, we will not be able to stop Xiacheng from unifying Langya Kingdom in the future!"
Qi Xiaobai was anxious when he learned that the 29,000 people commanded by Xu Sheng were defeated and a lord withdrew from the alliance.
There are also rumors that Wu Dun, a bandit in Taishan in Qiu County, was defeated by Xiacheng defenders with fewer defeats.
The war souls are in panic.
"President, let's surrender."
"Half of the reinforcements from all walks of life have been defeated, and the Taishan bandits Changxi and Wu Dun have all failed. If we continue to fight, we will be wiped out."
Players who play for Qi Xiaobai come to force the palace and put pressure on Qi Xiaobai to surrender.
According to Chu Tian's actions, even the lords who participated in the anti-Chu Tian Alliance can be released, so their current subordinates will definitely be safe and sound. There is no need to continue to resist stubbornly.
Qi Xiaobai's face was gloomy.
Anyone can surrender, but he cannot surrender.
Chu Tian can let others go, but it is impossible to let Qi Xiaobai, who organized the anti-Chu Tian alliance.
If even the leader is let go, the lord will form an alliance to siege Chu Tian every few months from now on.
Just when Qi Xiaobai was forced to palace by his subordinates, Wu Sangui rushed in with a group of soldiers to surround Qi Xiaobai and the players who played for Qi Xiaobai!
Qi Xiaobai said in horror: "General Wu, why are you?"
"These people are shaken by the morale of the army and should be killed! As long as you give the order, the sword and axe player will kill them to stabilize the morale of the army!"
Wu Sangui, who was persistent in his savage, pointed at the surrendered faction with a knife.
"Not like this, the War Soul can't be defended anymore. Let them surrender, we can break out."
Qi Xiaobai discovered that Wu Sangui's loyalty has declined very quickly recently and has gradually become uncontrollable.
Although Qi Xiaobai often becomes enemies with Chu Tian, he knows what impact will the mass killing of players have. He will become the public enemy of all players in the Eastern Han Dynasty and will be unable to move forward.
Wu Sangui's expression was uncertain, as if he was hesitating whether to kill these strange people.
In the end, Wu Sangui, considering the influence of Yi Ren, did not take action. He walked to Qi Xiaobai and whispered: "Lord, if you want to leave Zhanhun Town, you can go to Yangdu City to join forces with Changxi."
"Everything is followed by the general."
Qi Xiaobai nodded.
He had to nod, because Wu Sangui had already controlled the troops of Zhanhun Town.
Chu Tian defeated Xu Sheng and felt regretful that he failed to capture Xu Sheng alive.
Xu Sheng is likely to gather the defeated troops, or return to Ju County, or be still waiting nearby.
Fang Xuanling counted the losses in this battle, with 87 heavy cavalrymen losing, 421 light cavalrymen losing, and more than a thousand infantry archers losing.
This is the first time Chu Tian has lost so many soldiers.
Fortunately, he won the battle and the prisoners he obtained could make up for the losses.
Before resting, Fang Xuanling suggested to Chu Tian: "The subordinates concluded that the defenders would give up the War Soul Town and escape from the North Gate when they learned that the reinforcements were defeated. The lord could set up an ambush, and maybe they would win something."
"It's reasonable. Li Guang, this time you took the sound camp and cavalry to the north trail to ambush to see if you can capture the opponent's big shot."
Chu Tian sent Li Guang to give Li Guang a chance to make contributions.
Li Guang's performance is pretty good, but he is very cruel in shooting and killing the opponent's general.
In order to give Li Guang some credit, Chu Tian sent him to ambush the enemy who might escape.
Li Guang replied loudly: "The last time I will capture Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui alive!"
Li Guang's loud voice shocked Chu Tian, thinking that it was better for the taciturn Zhou Yafu and Mulan to be the taciturn.
"No need to capture alive, just kill it."
Chu Tian already knew that Qi Xiaobai's general was Wu Sangui.
Chu Tian had no idea of recruiting Wu Sangui.
A general who may betray him at any time will be uncomfortable.
"I will obey the order!"
Li Guang heard that there is no need to capture alive, and he just wants to kill the soldiers.
Li Guang took the Shooting Camp and 500 cavalrymen to ambush.
That night, there was indeed a shout of killing in Zhenbei. Li Guang ambushes were everywhere and killed Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui's army.
On the dark path, Qi Xiaobai fled under the cover of Wu Sangui. Li Guang asked someone to hold a torch and shoot at Qi Xiaobai's army with a long bow.
"Damn it, we're in a hurry!"
Qi Xiaobai was covered in dust and was exhausted.
Chu Tian heard the shouts of killing in the north of the town and knew that Li Guang had succeeded, so he rushed into the War Soul Town, which lacked the defenders.
The free players of the War Soul Guild did not follow Qi Xiaobai to flee, but chose to surrender.
The southern part of Yangdu County has been controlled by Chutian.
If Yangdu City is captured, the entire Yangdu County will be included in Chutian's power.
In Yangdu City, Changxi closed the city and defended himself. News of the defeat of the coalition forces came one after another, which made him feel uneasy.
Chu Tian’s goal is not only Qi Xiaobai, but also him.
"Qi Xiaobai, the lord of War Soul Town, led the remaining troops to appear under the city, claiming that War Soul Town has been lost and requested to enter the city to rest."
