It was a fairly successful raid, but the victors were not happy. Surrounded by the guards, the president led Luo Minghai to wander on the battlefield full of corpses, his face was blue, and he asked in a low voice: "What about people?" ”

The person who was questioned shuddered and replied in a low voice: "My lord, we have conducted a rigorous search. He was not found in Dillin's carriage, nor among the deceased......"

"Nonsense!" Luo Minghai said in a low voice, his face as black as charcoal: "Find!" ”

The subordinates didn't dare to snort, and quickly turned around and left. A loud shout came from far and near: "Search carefully!" Every corpse must be inspected, beware of Di Lin's fraudulent death! Jǐngcha and the soldiers carried lanterns and rummaged through the bloody corpses, identifying the faces and clothes of each corpse.

"Your Excellency!" Deputy Commander Lindy walked quickly in front of Luo Minghai: "The attack is complete, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." My lord, if you miss a blow, stay away, we should withdraw! ”

"Get out!" Luo Minghai didn't turn his head to look at Lin Di at all, and a word popped out from between his teeth. His eyes wandered blankly on the battlefield strewn with corpses, looking here and there, as if he was expecting to suddenly find Di Lin somewhere.

Lindy's face turned pale suddenly, and his handsome face was horribly distorted. He gasped and breathed for a while before he held back his anger and whispered, "My lord, I am here on the orders of His Highness!" ”

Luo Minghai turned around and stared at Lin Di viciously with red eyes, so angry that his eyes erupted.

Lindy stood up straight, staring at him without flinching, her eyes determined. He told Luo Minghai silently: "Although my official position is lower than yours, I am now the supervisor personally appointed by the commander-in-chief!" If I am to give in, there is no way! ”

The two sides confronted each other viciously for a while, and in the end, Luo Minghai looked away first. He said hoarsely: "When I left the Governor's Mansion, Di Lin did get into that car. Now that he doesn't see anyone, he must have been hiding, and it's likely that he pretended to be dead and hid in the corpse! Now, as soon as we withdraw, we will be completely abandoned, Lord Lindy, we must not do that! ”

Lindy's anger subsided slightly, thinking that what Luo Minghai said was not unreasonable-but looking at the mountain-like corpses, Lindy also hesitated: tonight's battle is won, but it is also a miserable victory. All 107 of the inspector's office guards were killed, but the number of casualties on their own side was no less than 150. More than 100 corpses were scattered on the two or three hundred meters long street, and it was impossible to sort out and identify all these corpses in an hour.

"My lord, half an hour!" Lindy said resolutely: "You only have half an hour to search!" After half an hour, the Inspectorate came, and when the time came, we were the ones who were going to escape! ”

Widening his bloodshot eyes, Luo Minghai only said one word: "Okay!" ”

In the next half an hour, everyone who is familiar with Luo Minghai can be shocked to break their glasses. In order to save time, the dignified family president led the corpse movers with his subordinates regardless of his identity. Ignoring the bloodstains on the ground, the smoky blood, the minced flesh everywhere, and even the intestines and stinking filth that had been spilled all over the ground, he rolled up his sleeves and searched through the corpses one after another, identifying them, and making them stink all over his body.

The subordinates were surprised and admired, the tragic scene of the sea of broken corpses and blood in front of them, [M.] Even veterans who had fought in the war would have nightmares when they saw it, but this civilian official who had been on the battlefield could work so calmly, this determination was really amazing.

"It's not!"

"It's not!"

"It's not!"

The subordinates admired, but Luo Minghai's own mood became more and more irritable. He examined one corpse after another himself, and the thick blood was so thick that he wanted to vomit, his eyes were so bright red that he was dizzy, and his chest was blocked with iron like an uncomfortable block. But Luo Minghai can't take care of these now. Like a gambler who has lost his entire family fortune, he just shouted with blood-red eyes: "Next! ”

"Your Excellency, you've seen all the corpses."

Luo Minghai raised his head, his eyes were blank: "Have you seen them all?" No, there must still be! He staggered to his feet and looked around, but his gaze was unfocused, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

The wind was blowing, and the plane trees were swaying by the wind, making a sparse sound. None of the Assassins spoke, and everyone watched their leader in silence. Everyone knew that the operation had been a complete failure.

With a look of pity in her eyes, Lindy said, "My lord, the time has passed. It's time for us to retreat. We still have a chance. ”

"Still a chance?" Luo Minghai sneered and staggered closer. After staring at Lindy for a while, he suddenly burst into hysterical laughter, pointed at Lindy's nose and said word by word, "You idiot! You don't even understand what kind of person you're dealing with! Will Dilling give us a second chance? You got kicked in the head by a horse, right? ”

In an instant, Lindy's face turned iron-blue. His face twisted, anger welling up in his eyes, and his fists clenched and clenched. His expression was so terrifying that the soldiers immediately gathered and stared at him nervously, for fear that he was about to punch Luo Minghai's smiling face.

Lindy clenched his teeth, his hands clenched, his nails already digging into his flesh, and the sharp pain that pierced his heart made him sober. Controlling himself with a high degree of restraint, he said word by word: "My lord, you should be sober!" ”

"I'm calm!" Luo Minghai smiled: "It's you who can't see through!" Dilin escaped, we're finished! Idiot! ”

"And His Royal Highness the Governor......"

"Chief...... Hahaha......" Luo Minghai laughed hysterically. The officer boy in front of him was proud, but his knowledge was still too shallow. When it comes to his understanding of Zichuan Shenxing, he is a hundred times deeper than him.

If the assassination is successful, Sterling will definitely cry and shout that he will punish himself severely, and Shikawa Xiu will also hide in the demon den and shout a few threatening words - but after a while, the matter will eventually pass. After all, it is impossible for Sterling to rebel for the sake of death, and Shikawa Xiu will not raise troops for his eldest brother to kill him. In order to appease everyone's anger, the chief will pretend to punish himself severely, and maybe even remove himself from prison in anger - but as long as the turmoil calms down, he will still be the president of the family.

Now, the assassination attempt has failed, and the two sides are in a pattern of endless death. Di Lin will take revenge, he will definitely take revenge, and he can also unite the two brothers to act together. Di Lin and Sterling are both strong generals who control heavy troops, coupled with Zichuan Xiu in the Far East, in the face of such heavy pressure, the chief will definitely not hesitate to throw out the "Jiān thief Luo Minghai and his accomplice Lindy who deliberately murdered the important ministers of the family" to feed the wolves. Pity the ambitious young man in front of him, full of thoughts about making steady progress, but he doesn't know that there is already a dead end ahead.

Seeing Luo Minghai laughing wildly for no reason, Lindy was puzzled. He guessed: "This person, can't he be crazy?" At first, he was still worried about Luo Minghai's identity, but tonight he was offended many times, and his patience reached the limit, and he was no longer interested in perfunctory the other party.

"The lower official still has something to do, and he is out of company."

Lin Di hurriedly saluted, and led his subordinates to turn around and leave, until he walked far away, and when he turned around, he saw that Luo Minghai was still standing in place and looking at him, sneering, and not making a sound, that look like an idiot made Lin Di very uncomfortable.

"Crazy, what a madman!"

Lindy muttered as she quickened her pace to leave. Isn't it just an assassination failure? Look at his dejected appearance, no avail! The sky didn't fall......

Suddenly, Lindy stopped abruptly: a low humming sound could be heard in the distance, and the ground shook slightly. He looked at the snowy horizon in disbelief and looked at his subordinates: "You guys...... Do you hear something? ”

The subordinates pricked up their ears, and someone whispered, "It seems to be the sound of soldiers and horses...... It's cavalry, right? ”

"Haha, it can't be!" Lin Di flatly denied: "Dì Dū is Huanggi, Daya West Road Street is close to Zhōng Yāng Street, who dares to be so bold and raise troops here late at night?" Unless they want to rebel! ”

Lindy was sure, but his heart became more and more suspicious, the vibrations and hooves sounded more and more clearly, and suddenly, one of his subordinates exclaimed: "My lord, look! ”

At the end of the snowy long street, there were dots of bright spots, which were rapidly increasing, converging into a shining ribbon of light, which was clearly a cavalry army rushing towards with torches! The hooves roared, the torches were shining and dazzling, the people were like tigers, the horses were like dragons, the team did not rush close, a strong aura of long-term battle jīng sharp had come to the face, the banner in front of the team jumped into view, and the cross pattern of the sword and shield revealed a murderous aura in the firelight!

Lindy shouted, "It's the cavalry of the Gendarme!" He immediately turned and ran: "Run!" ”

The streets shouted: "The Inspectorate is here!" ”

But it's too late. As the Assassins saw the cavalry, the cavalry saw them. The cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the ranks let out a terrible roar: "Revenge! Kill, kill, kill! ”

There was no shortage of masters among Luo Minghai's subordinates, but the rabble hastily formed for the purpose of assassination faced the military police cavalry who cooperated tacitly, and the result was not difficult to imagine. The Assassins were crushed by their crossbows before they could withstand the first round of attacks, and then they were completely defeated and fled in disarray.

The gendarmes rode their horses and sabers in high arms, chasing the fleeing Assassins everywhere, and the Assassins were so frightened that they threw away their weapons in order to run as fast as they could. Everyone knows that a two-legged person can't outrun a four-legged war horse, in order to avoid pursuit, some people hide in private houses, some people lie on the ground and paint their faces with blood and pretend to be dead corpses, and some people climb over the wall to drill dog holes. In order to escape, anyone thought of any idea.

But only a few lucky people can really escape their lives. Like a violent storm, the cavalry quickly approached and caught up with the fleeing crowd. Before the men and horses arrived, a rain of arrows greeted them, and they poured the fleeing killers on the spot, and then the horses' hooves trampled them fiercely, trampling them into a pulp.

The streets were filled with screams and cries begging for mercy, and many of the Assassins, seeing that they could not escape, quickly knelt down and raised their weapons, shouting, "I am an officer of the ×× Division!" Spare your life! But the gendarmes' answer was a slash of the saber.

Half an hour ago, Luo Minghai and his subordinates were still majestic killers, and they never expected that retribution would come so quickly. Most of the more than 300 people who participated in the assassination were caught up by the cavalry during the escape, hacked to death by sabers or crossbows, or even trampled to death by horses' hooves.

The sound of fighting and fighting sounded again on the long street in the middle of the night. The residents shuddered and closed the doors, peeking through the cracks in the windows to watch the brutal fighting. Since the siege of the city by the demon army, Dì Dū City has not had such a large-scale battle in a long time - no, it should be said to be an out-and-out battle.

Not without resistance. Under the eaves of the street corner, the soldiers of the undead battalion surrounded Lindy, grouped together like hedgehogs, leaning against the houses to resist the onslaught of the cavalry, which was the standard formation of infantry against cavalry. Lindy didn't expect this to fend off the cavalry, he just hoped to delay their demise, and maybe at the last minute, the chief would send someone to save them? With such an ethereal hope, the soldiers of the undead battalion repelled two charges of the cavalry, killing two of the cavalry who rushed up.

But in the end, Lindy couldn't wait for reinforcements from the chief. Seeing that the assault had failed, the gendarmes immediately adjusted their tactics. The cavalry of the Supervision Department are all equipped with light crossbows, and although they are not as good as the weathered jīng riding skills, it is not difficult for them to ride shè on the march. A troop of cavalry swept by, accompanied by a dense rain of arrows, a scream resounded in the array of the soldiers of the undead battalion, and the waves of cavalry seemed to be endless, one after the other. When the seventh cavalry swept over, there were no more people standing under the eaves, and dense arrows had covered the body.

Lindy Redcoat, the star of the family's new generation of famous generals, was killed by ** arrow, and his accomplice, Luo Minghai, the commander-in-chief of the assassination operation, also did not escape. At the last moment of his life, the president of the Zichuan family chose dignity. Instead of climbing the wall and drilling dog holes like his subordinates, he led a few of his own soldiers to meet the surging cavalry under the big plane tree.

The president's courage was commendable, but the outcome was no different. Because he was not wearing clothes to identify himself, the cavalry did not know that he had just done such a feat as eliminating the family president, so he only made a whistle and went to chase the other escapees.

The hoofs of horses roared, black cavalry poured through the streets like cháo water, and the gendarmes looked stern, sabers at their waists and light crossbows in one hand. On their rushing cháo's heads, there were brief fights and screams.

Surrounded by a large group of guards carrying torches, Dilin appeared. He rode on horseback, surveying the entire battlefield, looking at the corpses on the ground with imperceptible worry in his eyes.

The battle was soon over. The cavalrymen rushed back from all over the place in twos and threes, and the unsheathed swords were stained with blood. With the sound of hooves, an officer rushed over, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly in front of Di Lin: "My lord, all the escaped assassins have been eliminated. ”

Di Lin leaned over and asked, "Are there any survivors of the brothers?" ”

The officer bowed his head: "I'm sorry, my lord. We have found their remains, and all one hundred and seven brothers have died in the line of duty, and none of them have survived. Luo Minghai gathered the corpses together for investigation, which also made it easier for the gendarmes to count the dead.

Di Lin sighed, lowered his head, took off the cavalry helmet on his head, and slowly held it to his chest.

For those subordinates who died in the line of duty, he had a sense of shame that was difficult to express. Before the Assassins could attack, he secretly left the convoy alone, leaving all the guards behind to serve as bait to attract attacks—neither as a human nor an official, and Dilin did not consider himself to be at fault. It was the duty of the guards to sacrifice their lives to defend the lives of their commanders, and only if they escaped alive could they have a chance to avenge them.

But for some reason, looking at the guard's dead eyes, Di Lin still felt very uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Di Lin gave the order: "The second team is responsible for taking inventory of the battlefield, and the first and third teams are responsible for the outer Jǐng rings – act now!" ”

"Yes!" The gendarmes responded with a bang and scattered in all directions.

The red-clothed flag Ben Gopla approached, and his face was very strange. He made a gesture to signal the guards to avoid it, and then whispered to Di Lin, "My lord, tonight's ...... It's weird. ”

Glancing at Gopra, Di Lin was expressionless: "Hmm." ”

As the head of the Supervision Department, Di Lin undertakes important responsibilities such as internal security, political security, supervision of civil and military officials, military justice system, and intelligence reconnaissance. His enemies include the big gangs in China, the ambitious aristocratic families, the remnants of the demon clan, the spies of the Lin family and the Liufeng family, the degenerate family officials of Fǔ Bài, etc., and even Gopra can't tell how many enemies the adult has, and he can't remember how many assassinations he has encountered. Hidden arrows, poisoning, stabbing, ambushes, these kinds of things are just commonplace, once or twice a week.

However, on the streets of Dì Dū, hundreds of bandits dressed as Jǐng ambushed the convoy besieging the Inspector General, killing more than 100 of the guards. Such an incident is really incredible, and it is the first time that Gopra has encountered it. This is beyond the scope of assassination, it is simply a skirmish. Gopra couldn't have imagined that those hostile elements who were still alive in the soul of Yīn had such strength.

"My lord, the gangsters and those foreign thieves...... It's okay to engage in sabotage and get some poison, they don't have the strength and courage to do such a big scene. ”

"You're right." Di Lin's eyes flickered, and he sneered: "Luo Minghai must have a share, as for whether there is someone behind it...... There is no evidence yet. ”

Gopra's heart shuddered. After following Di Lin for a long time, he already knew the habits of his superiors. The more critical the moment, the more calm Di Lin became, and the more important the matter, the more the inspector general understated. "No evidence yet", in the dictionary of the inspector general, means very sure. Evidence is like public opinion, justice, and the like, and it always appears according to need.

The president is already the first courtier of the family, and the person who can direct him behind his back, Gopra, involuntarily raised his head and looked to the east, and the dark direction was where the family governor's mansion was located.

The work of the gendarmes is no different from what Luo Minghai did just now, only more efficient. The soldiers dragged back the scattered corpses of the Assassins on their horses, one by one, and laid them out in the middle of the street. Clothes and bodies of the deceased are examined, looking for identifying documents and tattoos on their bodies – many military units and domestic gangsters tattoo special patterns on their skin as markings. During the examination, the crisp clanging of silver coins continued to ring, and a lot of money was found on the deceased, and some even filled pockets of silver coins. It is easy to speculate that this is a death squad that has been fed with silver before leaving.

Di Lin rode on horseback, watching his subordinates fiddling with the corpses with an indifferent expression, silent. Most of the corpses, he just glanced at them and walked away. But in front of a corpse, he stopped, a shocked expression on his face.

Seeing that the adult stopped, the officer who was inspecting got up and reported: "My lord, this person has no documents or money on him. He was about fifty years old, his clothes were of a more expensive grade, and he did not have a cocoon on his hand to hold a weapon. Most of the other deceased were men in their prime, only he was older. We suspect that he is the one who does not participate in the hands-on command. We will focus on this person and try to find out his identity as soon as possible. ”

"No need, I know him." Di Lin shook his head slightly, brushed away the hair that was scattered to his forehead, and said very calmly: "His name is Luo Minghai." ”

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The president of the family was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide with anger, half of his face covered by blood, and he was holding a discounted sword in his hand, and his angry expression perfectly illustrated the meaning of "death without turning a blind eye".

After staring at the dead man's angry eyes for a while, Di Lin looked away and said sharply: "Speed up, speed up the inspection!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Di Lin's face sèyīn Shen: Luo Minghai wants to kill himself, this is a well-known thing in Dì Dū. But he didn't expect him to be so stupid that he would personally go to the scene to command, but he was killed instead!

"I'm in trouble!" Di Lin looked up and looked at the cloudy sky after the snow, and his mood was gloomy.

The generals crowded around him, their faces equally gloomy. There was panic in someone's eyes. Although it is a defensive counterattack, no one knows what the consequences will be if you kill the president of the family.

Di Lin looked at the person next to him: "Gopra, you say, what should I do?" ”

Gopra was solemn: "My lord, it depends on the situation. According to de jure theory, the president led a team to assassinate the adults first, and also killed more than 100 of our brothers, and the Supervision Office took action to suppress it, and we are not only innocent but also meritorious! ”

"Exactly, exactly!" The officers agreed: "We did nothing wrong!" ”

"But if it is...... What about the chief behind his back? ”

All the voices fell silent for a moment, the faces of the soldiers turned pale, and some of them chattered their teeth.

The family is invincible and irresistible.

The chief, that is a symbol of the family's strength and authority, he has a powerful strength that ordinary people can't imagine.

The soldiers are officers of the Ombudsman's Office, but they are first and foremost subjects of the family. From childhood, they have been nurtured with this belief and believe in it. The officers had a deep-rooted sense of obedience to the regime of their homeland, and they never even dared to dream of confronting the commander-in-chief—it was as impossible as rebelling against the gods, who could pinch themselves to death like ants with one finger.

Seeing that his subordinates were like ashes, Di Lin said slowly: "The matter may not be what the chief intended, don't rush to a conclusion first." Keep checking back! ”

Although everyone secretly prayed in their hearts that the assassination had nothing to do with the chief, it seemed that there really was a god of fate, and his main task was to listen to the wishes of all beings and then arrange the opposite path.

"Lord Qiyu, we are in a dead person...... Found this. ”

Presented was a document with the words "Military Officer's ID" written on the black sè wallet: "Military officer ID." "The cover was already soaked with blood. Someone carefully opened the cover and read out the contents: "Commander of the First Division of the Praetorian Guard, Red-clothed Banner Book, Lindy." ”

For a moment, the officers felt the sky spinning, the earth crumbling under their feet, and their feet were empty. In the street, where hundreds of people gathered, there was no sound at all. Snow was scattered in the air, and the cold wind mixed with snow fell on the stern faces of the soldiers. The soldiers pressed their sabers and carried light crossbows on their backs, and the killing machines rippling in the air were colder than the wind and snow.

All eyes were on Di Lin, and at this moment, this young man with a long body and a tall body was all the hope for everyone.

Di Lin stood on the long street, his figure was gloomy and lonely, and the figure under the cloak was so thin and haggard. At that moment, the endless burden seemed to crush him.

Gopra looked at Di Lin steadily, it was difficult for him to describe Di Lin at this moment, and for the first time, something different appeared on his cold and arrogant face like a snow peak. What is that? Suffering? Lose? Lonesome? Frail? It seems to be both, and it doesn't seem to be either.

At this moment, he is no longer an invincible general, no longer the inspector general who is known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, and no longer the strong and rational leader that everyone is familiar with, standing there is just an abandoned child, his eyes are full of fear and helplessness.

"Are you sure it's him?" Di Lin's words were not loud, and his tone was not heavy. But everyone felt that every word seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight, so heavy that people took their breath.

Several of the officers present stepped forward to look at Lindy's body, and then came back silently, their faces sank and they didn't say a word. So, everyone knows that the person lying there is indeed the young general who has been in the limelight recently and is quite appreciated by His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief.

"I'm sure it's him."

Di Lin let out a long sigh. In the midst of his sighs, he seemed to expel all his weakness and hesitation from his body with his breath. Once the enemy is confirmed, the strong, confident and powerful Inspector General is resurrected again!

He looked at the generals around him one after another silently, his eyes were deep and solemn, containing deep meaning. When he looked at Gopra, he paused and asked silently with his eyes.

The bone-chilling cold snap rushed towards him, Gopra shivered, he understood what Di Lin meant, his heart throbbed, he knew that this was a matter of life and death, he could no longer be a snake and a mouse, if he didn't make a choice in time, he would not survive until dawn.

He immediately stood up, waved his arms and shouted, "Brethren, I have something to say!" In the past few years, how many battles have we fought and how much blood has been shed for the country? Without us, DìDū would have been taken down by the demons! Now, the family wants to attack the adult for no reason, and wants to kill a meritorious person like the adult, and my brother Pula is the first to disagree! Brethren, for so many years, the adults have not treated us badly, and we have enjoyed many blessings and created many iniquities! We are tied to the adults on the same rope. If you fall, we won't end well! Today it's an adult, tomorrow it's our turn! ”

It would be nice to have the first person in the lead, and the officers were inflamed with great indignation: "Yes, I don't accept it either!" ”

"Why! Reason with the chief and ask him what the hell! ”

"Our upper senators will sue him! He did nothing wrong and deposed him! ”

"Shut up! One by one nonsense, is it the other way around? Di Lin's voice was colder than the cold wind in the middle of the night, and he squinted at his subordinates: "As a family courtier, do you want to rebel and rebel?" ”

The audience immediately fell silent, and the generals were dumbfounded. Everyone looked at Di Lin strangely, and no one understood what the Inspector General had in mind.

Gopra coughed dryly, stood up with his head held high, and said, "My lord, naturally we don't want to rebel!" But the Supervision Department has contributed to the country, but His Royal Highness the Commander-General wants to kill us for no reason, this is ** life! We are loyal, but we don't want to die! ”

The smile flashed in Di Lin's eyes, and he still had a straight face: "The king is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die?" If Your Highness really insists on killing me, you ......" He paused and slowly looked over the crowd.

Gopra gritted her teeth and roared: "Faint king's ** life, we are reversed!" ”

"We're the opposite!"

"We're the opposite!"

The howling wind carried the snow and slammed down on the standing crowd, and the men in black coats looked grim, and the fluctuations of excitement spread in the crowd, and people's hearts were colder than the howling wind. Countless whispering voices gradually gathered together, and the aftermath of that earth-shattering sentence shook everyone's hearts.

Someone finally shouted this sentence.

The god of Dilin was stern, and he looked at his subordinates with a majestic gaze, and he responded with the same determined gaze. Standing there were men who had been following them since the Far East, a group of outlaws, who had fought for their country, spilled blood, burned and plundered, and committed heinous crimes. Their iniquity and their deeds are too great to be seen in the world. Except for the terrifying group of the "Iron and Blood Military Regiment", although the world is big, there is nowhere for them to hide. Everyone here has done too much evil in their hands, and once someone is abandoned by this group, in an instant, they will be devoured by the sea of enemies, and their bones will be gone.

"Brothers," Di Lin's clear voice echoed and hovered in the wind and snow, shocking: "We are all loyal courtiers who are loyal to our family, we have fought for the country, shed blood and sacrificed, and have made many meritorious achievements!" But His Royal Highness the Governor was deceived by the evil of Jiān, and he forgot who was the one who laid the foundation for the family in the Far East? Who was it, when the demons invaded and the evil waves were rampant, that they blocked the army of the demons and held DìDū? ”

"We!" A dull roar was like a thunderclap, rolling over the crowd.

"Now, His Highness the Commander-in-Chief has been deceived by the evil spirits around him, and he has forgotten our meritorious service to the country, and instead of rewarding him, he has imposed a punishment for no reason! We are not guilty, and we resolutely do not obey! At this time, it is the sacred duty of our Inspectorate to take resolute action to rescue His Highness the Chief-General from the hands of those evil villains who surrounded him! Di Lin swung his fist fiercely, as if he wanted to knock down the evil villain: "We must act immediately!" There is only one way out, to force His Highness to correct his mistakes and restore the right path! We—soldiers! ”

Gopra stood up and shouted, "Brothers, my life is up to me! No one wants to take our lives! ”

A round of cheers and applause responded to him, and the men wrapped in black coats boiled with blood, and countless voices let out a violent roar: "Soldier! ”

"There is no choice but to fight!"

Three hundred years ago, the first head of the family, Zichuan Yun, roared at the head of the Dì Dū wall: "I, the Zichuan clan, will be here! Three hundred years later, another unborn hero made a voice that shook the continent in DìDū: "There is no choice but to admonish the soldiers!" ”

At that time, even the two major disasters of the Liufeng family's invasion and the demon invasion could not shake it, and the rule of the Zichuan family was considered by the world to be consolidated, unbreakable and would last forever, at this moment, no one, including the leaders and participants, could have imagined that it was in the middle of the night of December 30, 785, on the street of Dì Dū Daya West Road, that a group of desperate family officers and soldiers would have such a terrible power. It completely subverted the three-hundred-year-old ruling foundation of the Zichuan family.

The ** of the three heroes that will forever be recorded in the annals of history has kicked off. In the next rìzi, the Zichuan family shook the world.

According to the records of the family's military affairs office, at the end of 785, the number of troops in Dì Dū Castle was not very large. Because the family had just finished the brutal Great Patriotic War, and there were no strong enemies watching at the moment, there were no heavy troops stationed in Dì Dū Castle - of course, this definition of "heavy soldiers" was for cities in general. As the capital of a continental power, no matter how empty it is, Dì Dū's military strength is not comparable to that of ordinary cities.

As a family that started out of rebellion, the Zichuan family has a long history and tradition of being wary of those who hold heavy military generals. The strength of the Capital Military Region must not be unified by one person, and this is an unpassed secret that the chief of the family has personally told him from generation to generation. Thus, as always, in order to defend the peace and harmony of the family's capital region with an iron fist, and thus rule the entire empire, it was generally customary for successive commanders to divide the Dì Dū garrison into three main divisions.

Part 1: The Zhōng Yāng Army, as always, they are the pride of the Zichuan family with a long history and glorious tradition. Although this army played an inglorious role in Yang Minghua's rebellion, then in the hands of Sterling, they washed away their disgrace with their brilliant achievements in the Far East and Payi. During the Great Patriotic War, the officers and men of the Zhōng Yāng army fought bravely in Dì Dū, withstood the terrible pressure of the Demon God Emperor, and laid the foundation for a complete victory in the Great War. Now, the current corps commander of the Zhōng Yāng army is His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning, the future heir of the family, but His Royal Highness Ning is the one who is about to take over as the commander-in-chief, and there are many affairs, so in fact, the affairs of the rì Chang are mainly in charge of His Excellency Qin Lu, the deputy commander of the army.

The normal establishment of the Zhōng Yāng Army was 150,000 men, including ten infantry divisions and ten cavalry divisions, which was the establishment of a large military region. They were responsible not only for the defense and security of Dì Dū Castle, but also for the defense of Zhōng Yāng around Dì Dū and the southeastern provinces. However, in the Great Patriotic War, the Zhōng Yāng Army supported most of the backbone and main force to the newly organized Southeast Front Army, and after the war, not only did the seconded troops not return, but because they wanted to launch a crusade against the Demon Kingdom, the expeditionary force transferred a part of the Jīng Rui from the Zhōng Yāng Army, and the attrition of the Zhōng Yāng Army during the Battle of DìDū was also quite serious - although Qin Lu wrote reports to the Military Affairs Department and the General Chief several times, It was believed that the shortage of Zhōng Yāng troops was already quite serious, to the point where it was difficult to afford to defend the security of the capital region, and that it was necessary to urgently replenish the Zhōng Yāng army with soldiers and skilled officers, but these reports were handed over as if they had been swallowed up by a bottomless black hole, and there was never any reply.

The reason is simple, the family has no money.

In the aftermath of the war, the family had to cut military spending to rebuild the civilian population. Although the Far East's Shikawa showed Dú Lì, he had not yet shown hostility towards his family, and at present, Dì Dū was not under imminent threat, and there was no urgent need to replenish the Zhōng Yāng army. Moreover, Stirling led the family expeditionary force that had just returned to be stationed in Dak City, and the expeditionary army of 150,000 jīng rui was enough to deter all restless enemies.

Therefore, Your Excellency Qin Lu, I have wronged you, and the difficulties will be overcome for the time being, and you will continue to lead the Zhōng Yāng army that lacks manpower to hold on a little longer!

Therefore, on the night of December 30, 785, the Zhōng Yāng Army, which claimed to have an army of 150,000 troops, actually had only four infantry divisions remaining in Dì Dū City, and all of them were infantry divisions with a serious shortage of personnel, with a total strength of only more than 25,000 men. The rest of the troops were either stationed in Dì Dū's surrounding provinces, or they didn't exist at all, and were just an empty sequence on the documents of the Military Affairs Office.

Although the strength of the Zhōng Yāng army was severely weakened, not a single person surnamed Zichuan was so worried that he could not sleep at night. Because the Zhōng Yāng army was only part of the military force stationed in Dì Dū. There is another person who is tasked with defending the head of the family, that is, the Praetorian Guard Legion, known as the "Royal Forest Army". They are responsible for the security of the Governor's Mansion and the surrounding area. Compared with the incomplete DìDū Zhōng Yāng Army, the treatment of the Praetorian Guard was much better, the establishment of 10,000 people and two divisions was kept full at any time, the selection of soldiers was subject to strict political review, and the officers and soldiers were all from DìDū native people, most of them were from family officials or aristocratic families, and the treatment was also the most superior among the family legions, and the generals under the command were the most trusted generals of the commander-in-chief. Therefore, regardless of the combat effectiveness, the loyalty of this army of the Son of Heaven is the highest, and under their escort, the commander-in-chief can rest easy.

As for the third main armed force in Dì Dū, it is the gendarmerie under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman. This unit is not under the jurisdiction of the Military Service, but is under the command of the Inspectorate, but they also belong to the family armed forces and are registered with the Military Service. According to the figures reported by the Ombudsman, the gendarmerie unit stationed in Dì Dū should have three divisions, including two cavalry divisions and one infantry division, with a total strength of 20,000 men – but in reality, the Ombudsman has never been the same except for weather forecasts.

For the Military Service, the actual strength of the Inspectorate in Dì Dū has always been a mystery. Because the transfer of the gendarmerie unit does not have to be approved by the Military Affairs Department, and the funding, establishment and recruitment system of the gendarmerie unit are also self-contained, theoretically speaking, as long as Di Lin can afford to raise it, he can recruit more than 500,000 troops to squat in his own camp - of course, such a large scale is impossible, but if Di Lin in the name of training new recruits or troop rotation, the number of the troop is **, under the pretext of the rotation of troops from other provinces in Beijing, he can expand the number of troops by two or three times without being noticed by the outside world at all. In fact, he did the same, but more subtly and covertly. Nominally, the gendarmerie unit stationed in Dì Dū had only three divisions, but in reality there were seven divisions with more than 50,000 troops and very good equipment.
