The battle in Yangdu County lasted for half a day and ended. The coalition forces were attacked by heavy cavalry led by Xue Rengui and were defeated. Chutian took the opportunity to send troops to pursue them. More than 3,000 of the coalition forces were killed and more than 4,000 were captured. Other soldiers and horses

They all fled.

"We failed to capture Xu Sheng, but we captured a lord from Xihai County."

Zhou Yafu commanded the infantry and actually captured alive a lord who participated in the anti-Chutian alliance.

Lords usually command from the rear, and the lord of Xihai County was unlucky enough to be captured by Zhou Yafu.

The ordinary lord Chu Tian didn't care much. There were countless lords captured by Chu Tian in the past year. Chu Tian's territory was as big as it is today, so he didn't give it away for free.

This lord is from Xihai County.

Xihai County is located in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom and has excellent access to the sea.

If Xihai County is occupied, Chutian can boil 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 across the East China Sea, to conquer the Kingdom of Korea and the Warring States Period of Japan.

"I heard that you formed an alliance against me?"

Chu Tian specially ordered Zhou Yafu to bring this lord over.

The captured lord was dejected: "You are expanding too fast. No one is willing to sit back and watch your power grow. Otherwise, we small and medium-sized lords will have no chance to develop. If you were in my position, you would do the same thing."

"You led the territory of Xihai County to surrender to me. I can forgive you and at least be a mayor for you in the future."

Chu Tian intended to recruit a lord from Xihai County, expand his power to Xihai County, compete for the seaport, and pave the way for the future.

"Lord" has more than one civilization in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it were the late Han Dynasty, the seaport would not be important at all, because the most economically developed place was the Central Plains.

But there are other civilizations in "Lords". Opposite Xuzhou is the Kingdom of Koryo and the Warring States Period. Goods can be dumped in those places.

There is also sea salt, which is also a profitable specialty product that can be dumped inland.

"I am willing to surrender."

The lord of Xihai County heard that there was a chance of survival. No matter what happened in the future, he wanted to 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? You won't imprison or execute me?"

"You go back and capture Xihai County for me. If you still plan to resist when I reach Xihai County, there will be no such good thing."

Chutian releases a lord.

Executing a lord will not do him much good, it will only attract more lords to resist.

There is not only this one lord in Xihai County, but also other lords. If he is executed, his territory will be occupied or divided by other lords, and then a big lord will dominate a county.

In order to avoid the unification of Xihai County, Chutian let him go back to check and balance.

"If you march into Xihai County in the future, I would like to be a pioneer!"

The lord of Xihai County made a promise to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian didn't really believe it. He just let him go out of his own interests and didn't want to cause greater resistance from other lords.

After the lord of Xihai County was defeated and captured, he escaped from Chu Tian's camp. He couldn't believe that Chu Tian let him go so easily and promised that if he surrendered, he could become the mayor in the future.

As long as he serves as the mayor for a period of time, he may be promoted to the county magistrate, and he will already be a leader. And he will not have to worry about being defeated or captured in the future.

There are actually not many lords who are qualified to compete in the Central Plains. More lords are just stepping stones.

"I have been defeated and decided to withdraw from the alliance."

A lord from Xihai County took the lead in withdrawing from the alliance of seventeen lords from the Langya Kingdom.

"Stupid! Withdraw now. We will never be able to stop Xia Cheng from unifying Langya Kingdom in the future!"

Qi Xiaobai was distraught when he learned that the 29,000 men commanded by Xu Sheng had been defeated and that one of the lords had withdrawn from the alliance.

There are also rumors that the Taishan bandit Wu Dun in Qiu County was defeated by the Xiacheng defenders with a small number.

The spirit of war makes people panic.

"President, let us surrender."

"Half of the reinforcements from all directions have been defeated. The Taishan bandits Chang Xi and Wu Dun have both failed. If we continue to fight, our entire army will be annihilated."

Players working for Qi Xiaobai came to force the palace, put pressure on Qi Xiaobai, and asked Qi Xiaobai to surrender.

Judging from Chu Tian's actions, the other party can even release the lords who participated in the anti-Chu Tian alliance, so their subordinates will definitely be safe and sound, and there is really no need to continue to resist.

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 go of Qi Xiaobai, who organized the anti-Chu Tian alliance.

If even the alliance leader is spared, lords will form an alliance every few months to besiege Chutian.

Just when Qi Xiaobai was forced into the palace by his subordinates, Wu Sangui led a group of soldiers to rush in and surrounded Qi Xiaobai and the players who worked for Qi Xiaobai!

Qi Xiaobai said in horror: "General Wu, why are you doing this?"

"These people have shaken the morale of the army and should be killed! As long as you give the order, my lord, the axemen will kill them to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Wu Sangui, who was still wearing a razor-sharp appearance, pointed his knife at the leader of the surrender faction.

"It can't be like this. The war spirits can't hold on any longer. Let them surrender. We can just break out."

Qi Xiaobai discovered that Wu Sangui's loyalty had declined rapidly recently and he was gradually uncontrollable.

Although Qi Xiaobai is often an enemy of Chu Tian, ​​he knows the impact of mass killing of players. He will become the public enemy of all players in the Eastern Han District and will be unable to move even an inch.

Wu Sangui looked uncertain, as if he was hesitating whether to kill these strangers.

In the end, Wu Sangui, considering the influence of the stranger, did not make a move. He walked to Qi Xiaobai and whispered: "Master, if you want to leave Zhanhun Town, you can go to Yangdu City to join forces with Changxi."

"Everything depends on the general."

Qi Xiaobai nodded.

He had no choice but to nod, because Wu Sangui had already taken control of the soldiers and horses in Zhanhun Town.

Chu Tian defeated Xu Sheng and regretted not being able to capture Xu Sheng alive.

It is very likely that Xu Sheng gathered his defeated troops, returned to Ju County, or stayed nearby to watch.

Fang Xuanling counted the losses in this battle, and found that 87 heavy cavalrymen were lost, 421 light cavalrymen were lost, and more than a thousand infantry and archers were lost.

This was the first time Chutian lost so many soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, he won the battle and gained prisoners to make up for his losses.

Before taking a break, Fang Xuanling proposed to Chu Tian: "I believe that the defenders will abandon Zhanhun Town and escape from the north gate after learning that the reinforcements have been defeated. My lord can set up an ambush, and maybe something will be gained."

"That makes sense. Li Guang, this time you take the Shesheng Battalion and the cavalry to ambush on the northern trail to see if you can capture the opponent's big shot."

Chutian sent Li Guang, who was not very lucky, and wanted to give Li Guang a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Li Guang's performance was quite satisfactory, but he was very brutal in shooting the opponent's generals.

In order to give Li Guang some credit, Chu Tian sent him to ambush enemies who might escape.

Li Guangda loudly replied: "The general will definitely capture Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui alive!"

Li Guang's loud voice made Chu Tian startled, thinking that it would be better for the taciturn Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan.

"No need to capture him alive, just kill him."

Chu Tian already knew that Qi Xiaobai's general was Wu Sangui.

Chu Tian had no intention of recruiting Wu Sangui.

A general who may betray him at any time is very uncomfortable.

"I will obey my orders!"

Li Guang heard that there was no need to capture him alive, he would just send troops to kill him.

Li Guang led the Shesheng Battalion and 500 cavalry to ambush.

That night, there were indeed shouts of killing in the north of the town. Li Guang ambushed his troops and scattered Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui's troops.

On the dark trail, Qi Xiaobai fled under the cover of Wu Sangui. Li Guang held a torch and shot at Qi Xiaobai's army with a long bow.

"Damn it, we were ambushed!"

Qi Xiaobai was gray-headed and tired of running for his life.

Chu Tian heard the shouts of killing in the north of the town and knew that Li Guang had succeeded, so he sent his troops into Zhanhun Town, which lacked defenders.

The free players of the original 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, then the entire Yangdu County will be included in Chutian's influence.

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.

Chutian's target is not only Qi Xiaobai, but also him.
