The commander of the Dongxiang Defense Army who was guarding the city gate today led ten of his men to guard the city gate. They are constantly searching for passing business travelers and villagers who intend to go to the city to exchange goods.
It was his turn to be on duty today, which happened to be a day with a lot of business travel. They can extract more money from it. Toll taxes, city entry fees, and various other taxes can make them rich pockets.
While he was counting money in his hand, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He quickly looked up and saw 100 cavalry coming from the direction of the county town.
Look at those cavalrymen. They are all wearing armor, wearing bronze masks, white tassel helmets on their heads, iron bows on their backs, and lances in their hands. It was rolling all the way, and a huge force rushed towards me.
He was so shocked that he, who had never been outside the county and had seen the world, felt frightened in his heart. I don’t know where the military masters came from. Although they are both in the army, their equipment is obviously different from theirs, and their murderous aura is also different.
The equipment they carry is something that not even the 100-man city guard commander here can afford to wear. But they all had it, and he didn't believe it even if they said they weren't brought by important people.
He quickly dispersed the passers-by around him and pulled them to kneel on both sides of the roadside, so as not to bump into the nobles and cause him to suffer with them.
Then he quickly said that the next person would inform all the adults in the village to come and greet him, and by the way, he could find out which side it was from. The pomp was so grand that even the county governor couldn't compare with it!
In the blink of an eye, several cavalrymen had arrived at the city gate. He did not stop, but opened his mouth to scold the people at the city gate, and let the way to let the big shots behind him enter the city.
They entered the city gate all the way to the streets of the city, and asked everyone who was looking curiously to go back to their houses and were not allowed to be together.
They stood on both sides and guarded the road. Be vigilant and prevent all possible dangers.
Gradually, Zhong Yu, surrounded by a group of cavalry, came to the city gate. 20 horsemen were assigned to patrol around the door to prevent anyone from trying to escape.
A guard knight next to him came to the leader of the city gate guards and said to him:
"Quickly inform many officials in the city and ask them to come to greet you."
When the chief heard this, he quickly nodded and bowed and said, "I'll go and report it right now. Sir, please wait a moment. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Zhong Yu just stood at the city gate, looking forward. Looking at the streets in the small city from a distance, several people wearing official uniforms or gorgeous brocade robes ran towards them in a panic.
Running wildly all the way, there were bumps and bumps along the way, but no one dared to fall behind the others.
After hearing the report from the four men and seeing the cavalrymen dressed in majestic clothes outside, they knew that a big shot was here, most likely a figure at the state pastoral level.
They are not those unsophisticated soldiers at the city gate who have seen the prefect. They deeply understand that even a prefect does not have such majesty, then only the Zhou Mu or the general above the prefect. Only then can we have such a guard of honor.
Now looking at how aggressive this group of people is, it seems that they have come to this very remote town for some urgent matter. They didn't dare to neglect, for fear that someone in their own city would reveal some serious trouble and provoke this group of people.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw a man surrounded by all the cavalry and closely protected. He forgot to glance at it in a hurry, kowtowed to the ground, and said hurriedly:
"I didn't know that your Excellency came all the way and missed your welcome. I hope you will forgive me. I didn't know that it was appropriate for you to come here. I will handle it properly."
"Hmph! I know you guys are late, but you still dare to do this."
Zhong Yu snorted coldly, showing disdain. Then he shouted to the surrounding cavalry.
"Left and right, take down these criminals who have committed heinous crimes for me, and let them be punished."
As soon as someone's bell fell, more than ten knights went to capture the five or six officials of the small town. Seeing that the main characters had been taken down, Zhong Yu turned his head and looked at the city gate guards.
"We are the cavalry under the command of the Governor of Jingzhou. A few days ago, our beloved son went here to play, but he disappeared."
"I heard someone said that your lord's young master disappeared here, so your lord specially sent us to check. However, outside a mountain forest in Dongxiang, I heard from the mountain people that a few days ago, the young master and several servants were encountered by a gangster. Damn, I did some research and found out that the person the mountain man was talking about was actually my young master."
"Therefore, I came here specifically to take these people back to make amends to the governor. If you don't want to cause trouble, you should quickly take my people to the military camp to control the situation."
Several officials who originally planned to ask the soldiers to resist together turned pale when they heard what Zhong Yu said.
Even the few soldiers were trembling with fear, their hands and feet were cold, and they did not dare to have the slightest objection.
That was the son of the governor. The governor was responsible for supervising a state, and his words were directly transmitted to the emperor. The power can even directly mobilize the soldiers and horses of a state, which is an army of tens of thousands.
The overwhelming crowd came together, and I couldn't even see the edge. Thinking of what might happen to me in the future, I felt an unknown sadness in my heart.
"Yes, I will lead your heavenly soldiers to the military camp." After hearing what Zhong Yu said, the soldiers had no choice but to betray their colleagues in order to save their own lives.
Ta-ta-ta-ta, with the sound of horse hooves, more than twenty cavalry followed the commander to the military camp to control the situation.
Then, Zhong Yu's remaining cavalry roamed around, preventing the people everywhere from taking the opportunity to escape.
"My fellow villagers, it was not my intention to encounter this unreasonable disaster. But I am afraid that you will have to stay here for a while, and I will send troops to take over this place. And you must also bear witness when the governor asks about it." The voice said. As soon as it fell, there were wailing sounds and cries of injustice one after another.
After explaining his intentions, Zhong Yu didn't care about the civilians. He just asked the cavalry around him to take good care of them. If anyone dares to escape, you can kill them without mercy.
After waiting for a while, the more than 20 cavalrymen responded to the report according to the previous report. All the resistance forces in the city have been brought under control, and now Dongxiang City is in their own hands.
Hearing this sentence, Zhong Yu laughed a few times, and finally said wildly:
"You idiots, I am nothing, what about the cavalry under the governor's command? I am a rebel, no! Calling a rebel is too much, but I have never been a subject of the Khan Dynasty. I am from the Great Royal Kingdom. Emperor, you will also be my subjects from now on."
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.
There were still a few people in the crowd who wanted to resist, but they were killed by a crossbow arrow from the cavalry around them. Seeing the fate of these leading men, the others immediately did not dare to act rashly.
After taking Dongxiang City, clean the battlefield when it's time to clean it, and appease the villagers when it's time to appease the villagers. He dealt with countless things at once, but he finally brought this small town completely under his rule.
Zhong Yu also looked at other rural pavilions in Fangling County.
This is the second additional chapter today, there will be another chapter later. The author's annual leave is gone today. I hope everyone can have a happy annual leave and have a good Spring Festival.
