Chapter 90

A small group of soldiers had already entered the town along the path of Bohou mountain in Liangshan before the fog disappeared in the morning!

Many of the water bandits who were still sleeping with their women in their arms rushed out of the house with a ring head knife. The sharp arrows from Xuzhou archers were waiting for them.

"Kaiyang County captain leads his troops to beg for the thief!"

More and more soldiers entered Liangshanpo under the banner of officers and soldiers.

It is said that there are more thieves than thieves to scare away the officers and soldiers.

Because it was a sneak attack, the walls of the first class town and the wooden arrow tower were in vain.

Zhou Yafu commanded the infantry to block the roads of the town and try to wipe out the vicious water bandits.

"Big leader, officers and soldiers are coming in!"

"You'll have to pay it back sooner or later. What are you afraid of! Catch a few alive arrows and kill them

The water bandit with scar on his face is a villain. He takes a piece or two of gold in his arms and tries to escape from the chaotic battlefield with a few confidants and prisoners.

The river water near the Yi River has frozen, so the advantages of the bandits can not be brought into full play. They can only carry out land war.

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

A line of light infantry holding long guns blocked the intersection, using wood blocks and other obstacles to block. Behind them are Xuzhou archers holding long bows. They use the gap between light infantry to shoot the water bandits who are trying to break through.

The light infantry hold the spear and push forward step by step to compress the living space of the water bandits.

The water bandits blocked in the center of the town became more and more flustered. They were trapped in Zhou Yafu's ambush and could not escape at all.

Zhou Yafu was the main force to attack Liangshanpo. When Chu Tian led the reserve team, Zhou Yafu had successfully besieged most of the water bandits.

As for the water bandits patrolling on the wall, they abandoned the city and fled.

Outside, the light cavalry of Xiazhen ambushed and intercepted the escaped water bandits.

"The officers and soldiers have blocked all the streets. It's like they know the layout of the whole town in advance!"

"It must be that there is a ghost among us, colluding with the government!"

The water bandits became more and more nervous, escorting more than a dozen townspeople, trying to negotiate with officers and soldiers.

"Lord, the water bandits want to negotiate with us with the townspeople in their hands as hostages. Shall we negotiate or attack by force?"

Facing this difficult situation, Zhou Yafu gave Chu Tian a decision.

It seems to be more than a dozen lives, but it is actually an important choice, because it determines the plan that Chu Tian and his subordinates will first consider when dealing with similar situations in the future.

Chu Tian knew that he could not be soft hearted. Otherwise, how could he defend the city if the enemy took the people and captured the city?

"This is no longer a security incident in the town. It's a war. I'm not under any threat. I'm going to attack at once."

Chu Tian's decision made it impossible for any military action in Xiazhen to be threatened by the enemy's use of civilians.

"Yes."

After all, Zhou Yafu has seen too many lives and deaths on the battlefield. Liangshanpo has become a battlefield. In order to eradicate the roots, it is impossible to let go of the main thieves.

Under the command of Zhou Yafu, the soldiers and horses of Xia Town successfully suppressed the water bandits, and half of the townspeople who were held by the water bandits survived.

"Once upon a time, a general was held hostage. The deputy general was unwilling to compromise and attacked the assassin. The assassin abandoned his weapons and surrendered. Later, when the monarch heard about this, he ordered that the army should not worry about the safety of the hostages, so no similar thing happened

In order to appease Hua Mulan and others, Chu Tian tells an allusion.

This allusion was not made up by him, but a real historical allusion, which happened at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The general who was held was Xia Houdun, the assassin was the general sent by Lv Bu to feign surrender, while the deputy general was Han Hao and the monarch was Cao Cao.

Hua Mulan nodded: "the Lord's practice is certainly correct."

"No, it's not the right thing to do, it's the only choice. This can be the case in the army. If it is a security incident in the town, we should try our best to persuade the surrender. "

Chu Tian clearly divided war and public order.

Liangshanpo is a first-class Town, but Chutian finds that the resource buildings here are only secondary farmland, secondary mining area and second-class logging yard. The water bandits embarked on a deformed development path, relying on plundering other villages and towns to obtain resources, and then madly built shipyards, barracks, docks, brothels and taverns.

He took song, the Lord of Liangshanpo, to the Lord's mansion in time, and asked song to hand over the ownership of this first-class town in time, making Liangshanpo a vassal town of Xia Town. Chu Tian renamed it Liangshan town.

Song wanted to get out of the control of the water bandits for a long time. Now that the water bandits were exterminated, he was relaxed and easily handed over the first-class town to Chutian unconditionally.

There are many buildings in Liangshanpo that Chu Tian covets. Of course, they are not brothels, but grade 4 docks and grade 3 shipyards. This is not a building in summer town.

The third class shipyard has been able to produce a real warship, zoge.

"The property seized by the water bandits was piled up in the silver Bank of the town. They also captured a group of blacksmiths, one of whom was a senior blacksmith."Song Shimin, as the original Lord of Liangshanpo, was familiar with the situation here.

Now he is no longer a Lord. Chu Tian will know these things sooner or later. It's better to come out of the tray. Maybe Chu Tian will get a reward.

"Senior blacksmith?"

Xia Town's special talents are basically intermediate or low-level talents, and senior blacksmith is very rare.

No wonder these water bandits use excellent ring head knives.

"Did the bandits hijack the boats on the Yi River?"

"They just made a living by robbing ships, but recently a river course of Yihe River began to freeze, and they spent money and food so much that they robbed the surrounding villages and towns."

It seems that the water bandits who make the MI family headache are this group of people.

These water bandits are so bold that they even dare to plunder the merchant ships of Xuzhou's tycoons.

This time, he helped the MI family eradicate a threat. Later, the MI family will definitely sell him a favor.

As a first-class Town, Liangshanpo is not so easy to conquer. If it was not for the Song Dynasty, who had a clear idea of the actual situation of the town, Chu Tian would not have been able to capture Liangshanpo with more than a dozen arrow towers and a four meter wall.

There are two boats by the river. There is a female wall on the side of the boat, which has a certain defensive ability. The crew is mainly a rower, who can carry a small number of soldiers with high speed.

It was with the help of two boats and dozens of sentinel ships that the bandits at Liangshanpo successfully plundered Mi's merchant ship. For a while and a half, the MI family still had nothing to do with the water bandits.

"All the captured water bandits, above the small leader, shall be executed. The rest of them are slaves forever. They are not allowed to take a wife or grant amnesty. They go to the underground mine to make atonement. Only labor has food to eat. "

Chu Tian used the most severe punishment. The executed water bandits may be luckier than the living ones. They don't have to endure decades of hard labor.

"This place can be used as the stronghold of the Navy, which forms a straight line with the former Shuizhai and Xiazhen. The only problem is that the town is short of labor to exploit resources. "

Fang Xuanling observed the terrain nearby. Liangshan town was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The water bandits tried their best to build the buildings related to the Navy. The fourth class wharf made Xia Town even worse. It was suitable to become a town for developing water transportation.

Chu Tian annexed Liangshanpo and returned to Xiazhen with gold and silver and senior blacksmith.

"Inform the MI family that the water bandits have been exterminated by us. They don't have to go to Zang ba for negotiation."

Chu Tian is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name. The human feelings of the MI family must be important.
