The rebellion in Ice Rock City is ahead of schedule.
The rebellion, which was originally planned to launch in the evening, broke out near noon.
The reason is also very simple, even ridiculous—
The slaves were unbearably hungry.
These hungry slaves with green eyes want them to strictly follow the plan, it is simply a dream.
Looking at the granary right in front of them, the slaves couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed up, throwing the plans of the leaders out of the blue.
As the shouts of killing sounded, the slaves who had gathered in several other granaries in the city did nothing but tore off their disguised masks and rushed to grab the grain.
Grab food, not release food.
The slaves without order made the word "snatching food" full of blood.
Countless hungry slaves rushed into the granary like crazy, trying to get some food out.
However, the slaves who came out carrying the food would be immediately surrounded and robbed by the companions who rushed in behind, and finally their own people would fight without thinking.
Countless slaves fell, and countless slaves squeezed in again.
Hysterical emotions overwhelmed their minds, and there was no need for the city defense army to be dispatched. The granary became a battlefield for slaves to kill each other, and no one could safely grab food from it.
The precious grain was scattered on the ground like this, trampled wantonly by the slaves, even stained with blood.
Seeing that the granary could not rush in, some clever slaves turned their heads and killed the civilians' homes.
As a result, the screams of men and the cries of women and children followed.
These slaves formed gangs and wandered around the city, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, as if they were venting the anger accumulated in the past.
The city defense army was dispatched urgently under the leadership of the Shire knights.
However, at this time, Ice Rock City is indeed in the weakest state. Originally, the army of the Angelet family suffered heavy losses in the troll war at the beginning of the year, and most of the veterans were taken to Silvermoon City by Rego Knights to support Colin. , and Baron Raymond led a group of troops to suppress the rebellion in Ice Lake Town a few days ago.
Now there are less than 2,000 regular soldiers in the hands of the Shire knights, and they are all recruits. In addition, there are 3,000 reserves.
But at this time, whether it is a recruit or a reserve soldier, they must go to the battlefield, otherwise Bingyan City will definitely be destroyed in the slave riot.
Fortunately, although the slaves are numerous and powerful, they have the ability to organize... Forget it, they are not organized at all, they are just a group of lunatics who just want to grab food.
The Shire knights first arranged heavy troops to guard the Red Castle, then sent troops to occupy the four city gates, locked the slave rebels in the city, and finally sent a small group of troops to the city to maintain order. All rebels who made trouble in the city were killed.
However, he deliberately did not send a single soldier to several granaries in the city.
Because the Shire knights understood that these granaries were the key points of the rebel army. Once troops were sent there, it would be a chaotic bloody battle, and the city defense army, which was already worrying about its combat effectiveness, would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, after discussing with Steward Aemon, the Shire knight decided to give up the granary and stabilize the situation in the city first.
As for the food that was wasted, they had no choice but to give up at this time.
However, Butler Aemon told him that Viscount Angelet was already on his way back, and he had also brought back a large amount of grain from Silvermoon City, so if the grain in the city is wasted, it should be wasted.
The Shire Knight's strategy proved to be very successful. By the evening, the situation in Ice Rock City had basically stabilized, and the rebels scattered in the city had been basically wiped out, leaving only a few granaries in chaos.
But at this moment, a faint muffled sound began to be heard, and the ground trembled slightly.
Of course, the Shire knights are all too familiar with this. This is a sign that the cavalry army is coming!
He immediately rushed to the top of the city, looking towards the east of the city.
There was a piece of smoke and dust that did not fall for a long time, and then, a black line appeared on the horizon and spread rapidly.
Under the reflection of Xiaguang, it looks like a magic soldier descending from the sky.
The eyes of the Shire knight turned red in an instant, because he saw the black flag that haunted him, as well as the extremely familiar black armor and black war horse—
Black Cavalry!
"Open the city gate!"
The Shire knight roared and ordered.
Amidst the creaking sound, the East City Gate opened immediately.
In a blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Black Cavalry rushed into Ice Rock City through the open gate.
…
"Cavalry, the cavalry is coming!"
The slaves at the granary were still scrambling for food, but the shouts and rumbling horseshoes that followed made them terrified.
"Kneel down and surrender, disarm but don't kill!"
The cavalry lined up in five rows and galloped on the wide streets of Ice Rock City without any scruples. Anyone who blocked their way was knocked to the ground and crushed into mud.
At this time, no one can stop their charging pace, even if there may be innocent passers-by who have not had time to dodge, they cannot slow down their speed.
The slaves who were extremely vicious just now when they were robbing the food, now withered when they met the real elite army.
Before the black cavalry army rushed to the granary, the slaves gathered in it dispersed and ran for their lives in all directions.
There are also a few who are not afraid of death, and even rushed towards the black cavalry with simple weapons, but their fate is needless to say.
As if stabbing a hornet's nest, the slaves fled in all directions amid bursts of exclamation.
It's a pity that they couldn't escape the pursuit of the cavalry.
With a bang, dozens of figures were knocked out by the galloping horses, blood was sprayed in the air, and an unknown number of bones were broken.
Teams of black cavalry were like a sharp knife cut into butter, and the speed did not slow down at all, just trampling past the crowd of slaves.
The cavalry on horseback bent down skillfully, swung their knives, and with the help of horsepower, they easily cut off rows of heads.
Countless blood sprayed into the air and then spilled onto the ground.
Hundreds of cavalry galloped through the street in front of the granary like a wind, leaving blood red everywhere.
This is undoubtedly a massacre.
The rebellious slave army looked so weak and ridiculous in front of such an elite black cavalry army.
A single charge killed them all, and the surviving slaves scattered, not even having the courage to look back, and fled in all directions as if desperately.
But it's a pity that they will encounter the mopping up squad of the Black Cavalry Army elsewhere.
At this time, if one looked down from a high altitude, the black cavalry squads were like black dragons, shuttling back and forth on the streets of Bingyan City, scouring the slave army to pieces and flying flesh and blood.
…
When Colin led the main force of the Black Cavalry to Ice Rock City, he found that the rebellion in the city had been basically cleared up by the vanguard.
Steward Aemon and the Shire knights were already waiting outside the east gate to welcome him.
"Master Viscount, welcome home!"
Ke Lin laughed, and lightly pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and said loudly:
"walk home!"
