Chapter 48 Wu Sangui

In Xinye County, the Wangba Village of Nanbatian was shaking like a rock, expanding continuously, and was officially upgraded to a town.

Wang Bazhen has 1,500 soldiers and is considered a tyrant among the lord players in Xinye County.

However, Nan Batian was not excited at all.

At this time, half a month had passed since Tiance Town won the title of "No. 1 Town in the World".

After Tiance Town, territories of lord players in various states and counties were upgraded to towns one after another.

Wangba Town of Nanbatian can be considered as the second echelon.

"My Lord, the village chiefs are here."

"Please invite them to my house."

"Yes."

Led by Nan Batian's subordinates, more than a dozen village heads entered Nan Batian's mansion.

These village heads are either the younger brothers of Nan Batian or the lord players in Xinye County who have obtained the emperor and general templates.

They came to Wangba Town in the Southern Tyrant, and there was only one thing - the number one player in the Huaxia region, "Sheng Zuo Yi Shusheng", was in Xinye County just like them.

The rise of the scholar Shengzuo means that their territory will also be annexed by Li Qian.

"I'm sure you all know that the strongest lord in Xinye County, 'Shusheng Sheng', has already ranked first in the military merit list. He has an elite and extremely heavy cavalry, which I speculate may be the Black Armor Army. And the emperor and general template that Shusheng Sheng obtained is very likely the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Nan Batian sipped his tea while observing the reactions of the other village heads.

He invited thirteen village chiefs in total, seven of whom were his younger brothers, but their strengths varied. Their territories ranged from small villages to large villages, and their military strength ranged from hundreds to several thousand people. The seven younger brothers could gather two thousand ordinary soldiers.

The other six village heads are lord players in Xinye County who possess the emperor and general templates. Their territories are large villages that are about to be upgraded to towns, and they have the same concerns as Nan Batian.

When they heard that Li Qian might have obtained the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang, they all gasped.

The Emperor Taizong of Tang template should be one of the strongest templates.

The Aobai template obtained by Nan Batian can only be regarded as a second-rate template.

The templates obtained by the six village chiefs present were either third-rate or inferior, and could not be compared with the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Li Qian also has Emperor Taizong of Tang's Black Armor Army. If they wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled and various lord players begin to fight for territory, how can they resist the Black Armor Army's offensive?

All the village heads looked at Nan Batian in unison: "Nan Batian, what do you think we should do?"

Nan Batian put down his teacup, his eyes fierce: "Now Shengzuo is in the Jingzhou military camp, preparing to attack the inner city of Wancheng. This is our only chance."

"what do you mean……"

"He took away the most elite Xuanjia Army and other elite soldiers of Tiance Town. Tiance Town is short of troops, which is a perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Tiance Town. Opportunities are rare. Without territory, it is like a tree without roots and water without a source. Even if he has the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang, what does it matter?"

"Wonderful."

The eyes of these village heads lit up.

Even if their troops were combined, they would not be a match for Li Qian's Black Armor Army in a head-on battle. A surprise attack was a good idea.

One of the village chiefs hesitated and said, "I heard that the population of Tiance Town has reached 30,000, with at least 10,000 able-bodied men. There are also city walls. If they conscript all the able-bodied men to defend the city, even though we have a large number, it will be difficult to attack."

"You don't have to worry about this. I have the Aobai template, and I am very powerful. Moreover, I have recruited a second-rate general. Since it is me, Nan Batian, who took the initiative to summon you, then our Wangba Town will not shirk it. I will go first."

Nan Batian showed his domineering attitude, and the other village heads nodded frequently.

Since Nan Batian is taking the lead, they are not afraid that Nan Batian will use this as an excuse to consume their troops.

Their attention was focused on the generals recruited by Nan Batian.

This general was tall and handsome, and he looked like a famous general. "Who is he?"

The village leaders couldn't help but feel curious.

Nan Batian was very proud: "Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty."

"Wu Sangui, who risked his life for his beloved?!"

All the village heads present were shocked.

Wu Sangui, that's so famous.

In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui allowed the Qing army to enter the pass, defeated Li Zicheng, and was named King of Pingxi.

Later, Wu Sangui killed the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Kunming and was promoted to Prince of Pingxi, and was also in charge of GZ Province.

After Emperor Kangxi abolished the feudal system, Wu Sangui launched the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" and proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou. He died of illness shortly afterwards.

Although Wu Sangui is notorious, what is reflected in "Global Warring States" is that his charm value is extremely low, which does not affect other abilities. After all, ability is one thing, and character is another. There are many people who have talent but no morals.

As the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui was in charge of a special military force called the "Guaning Iron Cavalry" and was a second-rate military general.

This is also the confidence of Nan Batian.

Tiance Town has a population of 30,000 and a low rammed earth wall, so a brave general is needed to climb up first before Tiance Town can be captured.

"My Wangba Town can send out 1500 soldiers, and my brothers can send out 1500 soldiers in total."

"Each of your six large villages will send out 500 soldiers, and we will have 6000 soldiers."

"I don't believe that a surprise attack on Tiance Town with 6,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to capture Tiance Town."

"Once we conquer Tiance Town, we will divide up its population and compete fairly."

Nan Batian took out a simple map and explained to the village chiefs the plan of surprise attack on Tiance Town.

“This plan works.”

The village chiefs of the six large villages were not ordinary players. They calculated the costs and benefits in their hearts and agreed to Nan Batian’s plan.

The wall of Tiance Town was not very high, and since Nan Batian and Wu Sangui were the first to reach the wall, their chances of winning were extremely high.

"The only thing to note is that once we launch a surprise attack, we must capture Tiance Town within one or two days. Otherwise, if Sheng Zuoyi's Xuanjia Army rushes back from Wancheng day and night, we will miss the opportunity."

"clear."

"When to act?"

"When Shengzuo and the Jingzhou army attack the inner city of Wancheng and are unable to split our forces, we will send troops immediately. You move your troops to Wangba Town and join forces with me. As far as I know, the Jingzhou army has already built siege equipment, and the general attack on Wancheng will be in the next two days."

"no problem."

The village heads all patted their chests in confidence.

The troops from the thirteen villages were transferred to Wangba Town one after another. The military strength of Wangba Town reached several thousand people and was strong and powerful.

Wangba Town is fifty miles away from Tiance Town, which is not far.

In Wangba Town, several thugs were wandering around the streets. These thugs had ferocious looks, ragged clothes, and emitted a sour and foul smell, so the people were afraid to avoid them.

When these ruffians saw the soldiers from various villages entering the town one after another, a shrewd look flashed in their eyes that was inconsistent with their status.

"Why are there so many soldiers gathering in Wangba Town? Could it be that their target is our Tiance Town? We must be prepared for the worst. We must inform Lord Bo Miao as soon as possible."

The leader of the gangsters was Zhang Dahu. Li Qian had long been on guard against Nan Batian, who was ranked second in Xinye County, so he sent Zhang Dahu to infiltrate Wang Ba Town and monitor Wang Ba Town's every move.
