Chapter 47 Seizing the City (Addition 2)
Today, the head of the Dongxiang Defense Army guarding the city gate led ten of his men to guard the city gate. They are constantly searching the passing business travelers and villagers who intend to enter the city to exchange goods.
It was his turn to be on duty today, which happened to be a day with many business trips. They can extract a lot of oil and water from it. Toll tax, city entrance fee, and various taxes of various names can make them earn a lot of money.
He was counting the money in his hand, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, he looked up quickly, only to see horses coming from the direction of the county town, with a number of 100 cavalry.
Look at those cavalry, all of them are well armored, with bronze masks on their faces, white tasseled helmets on their heads, iron tire bows on their backs, and lances in their hands. Rolling all the way, a great power rushed forward.
He was so shocked that he, who had never been out of the county to see the world, felt a wave of fear in his heart. Unknown where the military master came from, although he is also in the army, the equipment on his side is obviously different from theirs, and his murderous aura is also different.
Even the chief of the 100 city guards here can't afford the equipment on their bodies. But they have a set of hands, and he doesn't believe that they are not brought by big shots.
Hastily dispersed the passers-by around, and dragged them to kneel down on both sides of the road, so as not to bump into the nobles and cause myself to suffer together with them.
He hurriedly said that the next person would notify all the adults in the village to come and greet him, and by the way, find out which side is the sacred one. The grandeur is so great that even the county sheriff can't compare to it!
In a blink of an eye, several cavalrymen had already reached the gate of the city. He didn't stop, but opened his mouth to scold the people at the gate of the city, and let the big man behind him enter the city.
They went all the way into the city gate and came to the streets in the city, telling all the curious people to go back to their houses and not to be together.
They separated on both sides, guarding the side of the road. Be vigilant against all possible dangers.
Gradually, Zhong Yu, surrounded by a group of cavalry, came to the gate of the city. 20 cavalry were assigned to patrol around the gate to prevent anyone from trying to escape.
A guard knight beside him came to the head of the gate guard and said to him:
"Quickly report to many officials in the whole city, and let them come to welcome your lord."
Hearing that, the elder nodded and bowed quickly and said: "The little man will report right now, please wait a moment for the adults, the little man will go back when he goes."
Zhong Yu stood at the gate of the city like this, looking forward. Looking at the streets in the small city in the distance, several people in official uniforms or gorgeous brocade robes came running in a panic.
Running all the way, stumbled on the road, but no one dared to lag behind others.
Hearing the report from the four, and seeing the mighty cavalry outside, they knew that a big man had come here, most likely a figure at the state shepherd level.
They are not those uneducated soldiers at the gate of the city who have seen the prefect. They deeply understand that no prefect has such majesty, so only the state shepherd or the general above the prefect. Only then can there be such a guard of honor.
Now that this group of people is so aggressive, it seems that there is something urgent to come to this very remote town. How dare they be negligent, they are afraid that someone in their own city has revealed some catastrophe and provoked this group of people.
All the way to the gate of the city, I saw a man surrounded by all the cavalry, tightly protected. Hastily forgetting to look at it, kowtowed to the ground again and again, and said anxiously:
"The lower officials don't know that your lord has come from a long way, and if you have lost your way, you still hope that you will forgive me. I don't know if it is appropriate for you to come here. The villain will handle it properly."
"Hmph! Knowing that you are late, you still dare to do this."
Zhong Yu snorted coldly, showing disdain. Then he said loudly to the surrounding cavalry.
"Left and right, take down these criminals who have committed heinous crimes for me, and wait for them to be dealt with."
With the sound of someone's bell falling, more than ten knights went to take down the five or six officials of the small town. Seeing that those main characters had been taken down, Zhong Yu turned to look at those city gate guards.
"We are the cavalry under the command of Lord Inspector of Jingzhou. A few days ago, I waited for the beloved son of Lord to go here to play, but we didn't know where to go."
"I heard some people say that your lord disappeared here, so your lord specially sent me to check it out. However, outside a mountain forest in Dongxiang, I heard from the mountain people that a few days ago, my lord and several servants met the gangsters. Damn, I checked and found that what the mountain man said was actually my son."
"Therefore, I came here to take these people back to make amends to Lord Inspector. If you don't want to cause trouble, you can quickly take my men to the barracks to control the situation."
The few officials who originally planned to call the soldiers to resist together turned pale when they heard what Zhong Yu said.
Even those soldiers were trembling with fright, their hands and feet were cold, and they didn't dare to have the slightest objection.
That's Lord Inspector's son, what the Inspector wants to supervise a state, and what he said is directly passed on to the emperor. The power can even directly mobilize the soldiers and horses of a state, which is an army of tens of thousands of people.
Those overwhelming people came together, and they couldn't even see the edge. Thinking of their possible end in the future, there were bursts of sadness in my heart for no apparent reason.
"Yes, the villain will take the lord's heavenly soldiers to the barracks." After hearing Zhong Yu's words, those soldiers had no choice but to betray their colleagues in order to save their own lives.
Da da da, with the sound of horseshoes, more than 20 riders followed the chief to the barracks to control the situation.
Then, Zhong Yu's remaining cavalry roamed around, preventing the people everywhere from fleeing.
"Fellow folks, it's not my intention to encounter an unwarranted disaster. It's just that I'm afraid you will stay here for a while, and I will send troops to take over here. And you also want to be a witness when the governor asks about it." Voice As soon as it fell, there were wailing and grievances one after another.
After talking about his intentions, Zhong Yu didn't care about those civilians anymore, he just told the cavalry around them to take good care of them, if anyone dares to escape, then you can shoot them to death.
After waiting for a while, according to the previous report, the more than 20 cavalrymen answered the report. All the resistance forces in the city have been brought under control, and now Dongxiang City is under their control.
Hearing this sentence, Zhong Yu laughed a few times, and finally said wildly:
"You idiots, I'm nothing, what about the cavalry under Lord Inspector? I'm a rebel, no! It's a bit too much to say a rebel, I've never been a citizen of the Khan Dynasty. I'm from the Great Yu Kingdom Emperor, and you will be my subjects in the future."
After the officials in Dongxiang City heard this, their faces became even paler, and this time there was not even a trace of blood left.
In the crowd, there were still a few people who wanted to resist, but they were directly shot to death by the cavalry around them with a crossbow arrow. Seeing the end of these elites, the others did not dare to act rashly.
After taking Dongxiang City, the battlefield should be cleaned up, and the villagers should be appeased. He dealt with countless things at once, but he finally brought this small town under his own rule.
And Zhong Yu also looked at Fangling County and other village pavilions.
