Chutian was busy revitalizing the industry, and in Lingyan Town, about 25 kilometers away from Xia Town, the 50 cavalry and 100 light infantry recruited by the lord "Datang Li Er" had been trained.

Hundreds of free players from the guild came to Lingyan Town one after another.

"This time our goal is the third-level gold mine in Shangbi Village. Shangbi Village may have been occupied by a powerful lord. But we have to capture the third-level gold mine anyway. The third-level gold mine will invest 100 labor. , at least 30 taels of gold are produced every month. If you increase labor, you will get more gold every month. With this gold, plus my town has secondary pastures, our Lingyan Pavilion will become Langya Kingdom The biggest force. Before Tao Qian, the prefect of Xuzhou, becomes active, we must expand our territory as soon as possible!"

Datang Li Er glanced at the guild members present. With his troops and hundreds of free players, he should be able to capture the third-level gold mine.

"Set off!"

The Lingyange coalition, consisting of 50 light cavalry, 100 light infantry, 100 free players, and 300 rural braves, marched towards Shangbi Village.

Chutian didn't know that his vassal village would soon be coveted by other lords. At this time, he was taking Li Kui to inspect the farmland. Li Kui organized a group of displaced people to divert water from the Yi River to the newly reclaimed farmland, and at the same time excavated drainage ditches and wells.

October is the season for sowing. Xiazhen plans to prepare farmland before October, and plan the cost of farmland reasonably. For farmland with loss of soil fertility, some grains and beans can be planted to accelerate the restoration of soil fertility.

The rhizobia of legumes have a strong nitrogen-fixing ability, which is common sense Chutian still understands.

In addition to soybeans, oil crops such as peanuts can also be grown.

Soybean is a crop owned by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Peanuts and corn are in other civilized areas. Even the Champa rice, which is very important to the Eastern Han Dynasty, is in Annan District. There are still seven or eight months before the opening of the civilized area, so the seeds of these crops cannot be bought.

Even if the civilized area is open, merchants from both sides are required to transport goods through the vast sea.

Xia Town and the vassal villages implement a wheat-soybean crop rotation system.

"Mr. Mayor."

The peasants in the farmland were clearing the weeds and tidying the land carefully. When they saw the lord Chu Tian and the farm official Li Kui coming to inspect the farmland, they greeted them one after another.

Now Chutian will often come to the farmland to inspect the farmland. After upgrading to the city, it is estimated that he may not have time to go to the field in person.

The farmland is of course not inside the town, but outside the town. The area covered by the rammed earth wall in the town is not large. During the Three Kingdoms period, the total length of the city walls of Ye, the capital of Cao and Wei, was only 10.3 kilometers. Generally speaking, administrative, commercial, residential and other buildings need the protection of city walls, and farmland, orchards, and mines occupy a large area outside the town. With a larger population, even outside the city walls, new city districts will form.

A fast horse galloped down a country road, and the cavalry above shouted: "Get off, get off!"

Farmers on the dirt road gave way to both sides.

Chu Tian frowned slightly, and he said to Hua Mulan, who was following him for inspection, "Stop him."

Mulan blocked the dirt road, and the galloping cavalry had to stop.

The cavalry looked a little anxious, but after seeing that the person blocking the front was Hua Mulan, the cavalry who used to be under Hua Mulan immediately dismounted: "General!"

He saw Chu Tian again, and quickly knelt down: "Lord Lord!"

"When did you panic so much that you rode a horse in the field?"

Chutian's policy of "separation of soldiers and farmers" clearly stipulates that soldiers cannot harass the people at will, especially in peacetime, cavalry cannot gallop freely in the town on horseback, nor can they ride their horses in the fields to prevent trampling on farmland or bumping into peasants.

The cavalry quickly explained: "The villain was ordered to guard Shangbi Village. When he was patrolling outside the village, he found an army marching towards Shangbi Village. Lord Wu Shang immediately sent me back to Xia Town to report!"

"The army? How many are they?"

"More than 500 people,

There are many aliens among them! "

Chu Tian was shocked. He has not had any real battles with other lords, whether it is Xiaozhu Village or Yunlai Village, they all surrendered after seeing the bad situation. The conquest of Shangbi Village was only a small-scale battle with horse thieves.

As the territories of the various lords expanded, some conflicts were inevitable.

You can have an army composed of more than 500 soldiers and players, and the lord behind it must not be weak, at least own the town.

"The opponent's target is Shangbi Village. Shangbi Village is only a second-level village, not a third-level village. Then they are very likely to come for the third-level gold mine."

Although Li Kui is a hero of internal affairs, his current intelligence of 75 is comparable to that of second- and third-rate advisors in the Eastern Han District. Hearing what the cavalry said, he quickly judged the opponent's intentions.

Chutian almost also thought of the third-level gold mine in Shangbi Village. There are many people who know that there are third-level gold mines, miners from Shangbi Village, and the village chief who escaped when the horse thief came.

Sure enough, there are good things, but also the ability to hold.

"Hey, it's not enough if you want to farm well, you have to find trouble." Chu Tian patted the soil on his military boots, "Gather all the troops, let Xiaozhu Village send 300 villagers, and our Xia Town will send 400 villagers. . to see who has more people!"

The Xuzhou archers in the barracks have a long training cycle and are still undergoing training. 60 elite infantrymen have been trained.

40 cavalry, 40 Xuzhou archers, 140 elite infantry, a total of 220 professional soldiers gathered at the school grounds in Xiazhen.

Chutian is preparing to sow seeds in October. At this time, troubles come to you, and they have to send troops to settle it.

"Wait, the other party should be the lord who owns the town? I wonder if the town can become a vassal?"

There is also a place for a fourth vassal village in Xia Town.

It stands to reason that the level of the main city is higher than that of the branch city. For example, if Xiaozhu Village becomes a vassal of Xia Town, even if Xiaozhu Village meets the conditions for upgrading to a first-level town, it cannot be upgraded to a first-level town. It can only be upgraded after Xia Town is upgraded to a second-level town.

Chutian also does not know whether a first-level town can be annexed. If a town of the same level can be annexed, Xia Zhen's strength will be even higher.

"Mr. Mayor, the village braves are filled with righteous indignation when they hear that the enemy has invaded, and they are all willing to participate in the battle before the busy farming season."

Elder Li organized 400 village braves to join the war. The average level of village braves is about 20.

Xiangyong's fighting strength is lackluster, but at least the number of people looks scary.

Chutian appointed Zhao Qi, a bronze-level hero, to lead the Xiangyong troops. His characteristic [Xiangyong Commander Small] can give Xiangyong all attributes +1, which is regarded as a small magic skill in the early stage.

Hua Mulan commanded Xia Town's most valuable 40 light cavalry. The 25% attack and defense bonus brought by Mulan allows Tier 1 light cavalry to be used as Tier 2 elite light cavalry.

Liu Sandao commanded 40 Xuzhou archers, and the bow generals plus the characteristic [Dahan Army Spirit · Small] added two bonuses to the archers.

As for the elite infantry, Chu Tian personally commanded them. Chutian has no characteristic bonus, but the elite infantry's own attributes are already very good.

"If the other side retreats in spite of the difficulties, it's all. If the other side wants to fight, then defeat them and annex their territory."

While thinking about it, Chu Tian led 220 professional soldiers and 400 villagers from Xia Town out of the town.

"Ding! Eastern Han District Announcement: All Eastern Han District players, please pay attention, the first epic battle - 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' will start on December 1st, the first year of the lord calendar. All lords and free players please prepare in advance!"

As soon as Chu Tian stepped out of Xia Town, he received a shocking news.

The time for the first epic battle has been set, and there are now two and a half months to prepare!
