Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four Flying Riders Report Victory
The King of Qi walked closer to the city wall and patted the stone brick unwillingly, feeling extremely regretful.
After all, it underestimated the enemy's determination and underestimated the current dark-skinned and dark-hearted officials of the Wei Dynasty.
For the sake of personal gain, he did not hesitate to alarm the people of the whole palace, cooperated with robbers, and murdered the country's royal family, just to help foreign Semi people murder the pillars of their own country for a trivial conflict and trivial matter!
In the world, what else is more despicable, more angry and disgusting than such things?
Now the King of Qi only hopes that Xu Zixian will not waste his life. He plans to use all his relationships and connections, even if he loses his image he has been in business for many years. He is willing to pay any price to protect Xu Zixian, this hope for the future!
"Your Highness, don't hurt yourself too much..." Liu Changshi of the Prince's Mansion knew the thoughts of the prince in front of him. There was a volcano that was about to erupt under the seemingly calm surface.
Just now, King Zhao, Lin Douyao and others were not picky about the law. King Qi had already expressed everything with a cold and stiff attitude, but both Lin Douyao and King Zhao were not concerned. If King Qi could see through people's hearts, he should see King Zhao's pride and indifference, and the same was true for Lin Douyao.
"Yes." After hearing the words of his parents' history, King Qi nodded, but his expression was still very cold.
At this time, you can see that the imperial guards were only in line outside the city. On the contrary, the Xiang army was much faster, but if the imperial guards did not leave, the Xiang army would certainly not be able to drive away.
The commander of the imperial guards was Luo Zhigong, the commander of the emperor. Of course, he knew what to do. It was easy to find excuses and didn't need to be too anxious.
Even the cavalry of both cities were not in a hurry to set out. Anyway, the Shangguans were not in a hurry, and the cavalry didn't need to take too much risk. They had to wait until the brigade set off before the cavalry would slowly probe in front.
The sound in Houguan County suddenly stopped, and the fire was still there. In the winter at the end of the year, the reeds along the river and the dead grass above the knees on the river bank had already turned yellow. Every day, people would go to the river to cut reeds and make bundles of grass. This was an inexhaustible natural resource. Most of the farmers near the river were fetching grass by the river. This time the fire burned the sky and the fire would probably not stop until tomorrow morning. If there was a good wind, it would burn all the reeds and dead grass dozens of miles along the river.
After dawn, people will go to the riverside to cut off the fire source, and of course they must return to peace.
The fire was still there, and the shouts and fights came to an abrupt end. Not only the Hou Guan, but also the shouts in Nan'an and Shuikou areas stopped.
Before industrialization, the sound would spread far, especially at night, almost silent, and you could hear the barking of dogs a few miles away, and the shouts of thousands of people would certainly spread farther.
But now all the noises have stopped, and it seems that they have never happened. It is like a big hand brushing across the world, extinguishing all the movements and evens.
The people above the city were surprised and suspicious. The King of Qi, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, knew that he might have already achieved a result.
The King of Qi was also a little surprised and surprised. If the bandits had already won, more fires would ignite next. The bandits were thieves, and they would not change their nature. Killing and setting fires would be irresistible pleasure and temptation for them. Then there would be noises during murder, roars, screams, and crying of women and children... After the bandits entered the country, there was no need to think about how miserable the people were. Those novels that fantasized that the thieves would have human nature and would not hurt the people and only confront the government had no market in the Great Wei Dynasty. Except for a few bandits, it should be said that they were a very small number of bandits. For example, the thieves like Gushan thieves, 99% of bandits killed people without blinking, and used murder as the fun of killing, harming the elderly, children, raping women, burning and robbing everything.
The King of Qi was fighting in his youth and middle-aged life, and had seen many situations after the rampage of bandits. He was burned out and the houses were bleakly experiencing black smoke, the elderly and children who died tragically, the women who were stolen and the men who were killed. The miserable situation was often called to King of Qi for nightmares thirty years ago.
Even now, King Qi often wakes up from nightmares.
But there was nothing unusual about the Hou Guan, Nan'an and Shuikou area besides the fire.
There were no crying, screaming, and the crying of children and women could not be heard.
It is impossible to expect the thieves to change their nature. I can only say that this incident was unexpectedly unexpected.
King Zhao also walked to the city wall and frowned and watched the situation in the distance.
Lin Douyao, Chen Dujing, Zheng Liqi, Yang Shiwei and others also walked to the top of the city. The purple and red robe officials looked up together. Han Bingzhong stared at him like a bull's eyes, as if he was eager to hear the screams and howls of the people immediately, so that he could feel relieved.
The King of Qi sneered in his heart, this is the official, this is the third-rank important official who was given a salary by the court!
The strange environment made the imperial guards and wing troops outside the city hesitate even more, and even the cavalry did not dare to act rashly.
Five thousand soldiers wearing torches lined up a long snake outside the city. The firelight could make people brave, but these soldiers still did not dare to go to the darkness ahead.
The city gate has been closed again and will not be opened until the enemy situation is clear.
Suddenly, a bunch of horse hooves came from afar, and the imperial guards and the wing army were in a commotion. When the King of Qi saw that the cavalry of both capitals did not come forward, he retreated a little, his timidity and fear of fighting were all revealed, and there was another fire.
Chen Dujing and other dukes and gentry standing on the top of the city shook their heads. Even cowards such as Xu Ruhe, the Marquis of Xinchang, Chen Man, and other cowards could not help but shake their heads.
The nobles also hope that the imperial guards and the wing army will protect themselves. If these imperial military armies are like this, it will be a threat to everyone and no one will feel safe.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer. As the light of torches on the city is reaching, you can finally see the cavalry team galloping towards you.
There were about a hundred cavalry, three cavalry and one row, and a uniform formation was like a long winding dragon on the land with uncertain light and darkness. Compared with the two imperial guards who dared not meet under the city, the cavalry that came with the Pegasus completed the complete crushing of the cavalry of the two capitals in terms of momentum.
There was no leather armor or iron armor. More than half of the more than a hundred cavalry held long scepters and half pressed the barrier knife. When they arrived at the city, their queues were still very neat.
The imperial guards and the wing army were already ordered to be arranged, and the cavalry of both of them were placed on both wings.
Although there were only more than a hundred cavalry running over, people were not sure whether there were large groups of enemy troops lurking in the darkness behind these more than a hundred cavalry.
Amid the shouts of the imperial guards and the officers of the wing army, thousands of soldiers were running in the chaos, from the appearance of the enemy cavalry to the formation of the imperial guards and the wing army, but the military and political officials on the city found that the team under the city was still in chaos.
Zhang Huchen rode his horse in front of the team, and the panic of guarding the camps of the imperial guards and the Xiangjun city opposite him came into view.
He smiled contemptuously, the regiment training was at the bottom of the Great Wei army. The imperial guards were the powerful brigade of the Great Wei, directly under the center, and the treatment and equipment were all first-class.
The Xiang Army was secondly responsible for local public security. Some Xiang Army was also responsible for major local projects such as digging rivers, building roads, and building cities. The officials' theory was that those who served in the army could not lie down and eat every day and did nothing.
The regiment training is a supplement to the first two types of military disciplines, and is regarded as an existence that is worse than the wing army. In the current situation, Zhang Huchen did not feel that the regiment training in the Nan'an was worse than the imperial guards or the wing army.
About a hundred steps apart, Zhang Huchen raised his arms and ordered all the cavalry to stop.
Almost at the same time, more than a hundred cavalrymen stopped the movement of the war horses moving forward in an orderly manner.
There were still three people in a row, and the cavalry were still arranged neatly, without any extra movements, and of course no one looked around, let alone talk.
This is a silent army, with a strange pressure shrouding inside and outside the Fuzhou Prefecture City. The officials on the city were shocked to the point of being shocked. The imperial guards and the wing soldiers under the city were even more at a loss and didn't know how to react.
"Zhang Huchen, the commander of the cavalry in Nan'an regiment, was appointed by the Nan'an Marquis and the Nan'an regiment's command, Xu Zixian, to come to the prefecture city to spread the robbers' invasion."
Zhang Huchen rode his horse forward alone. His riding skills were quite superb. After speeding up, he rode alone at the east gate of the mansion. He rushed past the two capital cavalry and many wing army imperial guards. Facing the long bow and hard crossbow and long scepter of the forest, he was not afraid at all. He stopped the war horse under the city gate and shouted upwards.
"Nan'an team training?"
"Is it really a Nan'an team training?"
"Will there be such elite cavalry in the regiment training?"
Lin Douyao's face suddenly became extremely ugly. This city cavalry is definitely not a sequel to the wing army or imperial guards. He is very clear and familiar with any army of Fujian Road. Some of the imperial guards are trained strictly, but there are no such excellent cavalry. Some of the cavalry in the imperial guards are purely pretending to be good. It is okay to inquire about the news and serve as a charity for the generals. It is completely impossible to think that this city cavalry is like this in front of you.
Elite soldiers cannot be made by showing off their appearance, but even if they cannot even show off, they are definitely not elite.
The cavalry in front of you, with the uniform military posture and strict and solemn momentum, needless to doubt, must be the elite among the cavalry. When Lin Douyao was in the north, he could see that various imperial cavalry in Hebei and Hedong had such momentum. On Fujian Road, such cavalry could not appear!
It was actually the Nan'an League training, and the Nan'an League training actually achieved this level of cavalry of this level?
This was completely unexpected, and what Lin Douyao was more worried about was the other derivative developments. What does the Nan'an regiment train to send such elite cavalry under the capital city?
The team of thousands of members of the Pu family failed? Is such a ridiculous thing really possible?
Lin Douyao felt his chest tightness and his throat was a little sweet, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood!
Chapter completed!
