Chapter 122: Counting the Cavalry
Five hundred black-clad iron horsemen stood quietly in front of the southern gate. People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, although there are only 500 people, but under the moonlight, they give people a sense of oppression by thousands of troops.
If you look closely, you will find that they are in a sharp attack formation at this time. At the front of this formation, the most elite knights act as arrows, and from front to back, the number gradually increases, and it looks like a sharp arrow. Once launched, as long as the arrows are strong enough, they can easily chisel through any infantry phalanx, and this formation also has extremely high requirements for the arrow knights, and generally the elite of the cavalry who use this formation. Moreover, this formation has the least area to withstand the attacks of the opponent's crossbowmen.
At this time, the arrow of this sharp arrow formation was the tall Scarface Rider of the Li family.
"Big brother, the situation is not right, didn't you say that the group of people in Chicheng County will open the door to welcome us in? Why do you look like you are facing a great enemy now? A knight behind the tall knight took two steps forward and said suspiciously.
As he said, the gate of Chicheng County was closed at this time, and the city was also quiet. The walls were lined with soldiers who were ready to fight, and their swords were unsheathed and arrows wound, all pointing at the knights under the city. The banner on the female wall was hunting, and the killing intent in the city was no weaker than that of the knights in the city.
"Do you know what order I received? Rushing into the city gates, the chickens and dogs were not left. The tall knight frowned, it seems that the other side has already been prepared, and today's task is probably hanging. If you don't open the city gate on the other side, you can't use your cavalry to attack the city, "I don't know what agreement they have, but I can be sure that our lord wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but obviously the people on the other side are not stupid." β
"What then? If we go back in this way, the Lord will surely punish us. His meansγγγγγγ The knight who came forward to inquire stopped talking.
"Here we are." The tall knight stared sharply at a female wall to the left of the tower, where a gaze made him extremely uncomfortable. Although there were four or five people standing there, his eyes were keenly catching the tallest figure in the middle. He could clearly feel the man staring at him, too. Without flinching, he raised his head and met the eye in the air.
He felt the coldness in the other party's gaze, and he felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and as long as he moved, he would receive a fatal blow from the other party. He even felt his body slowly begin to stiffen, and cold sweat quickly soaked through the armor. For the first time in his life, he felt an extremely strange emotional fear, and he wanted to turn his head and stop looking at those cold eyes, but the dignity of a warrior did not allow him to show weakness first.
Qin Forget stared at the knight below who was staring at him, and in the gray moonlight, he could only see the reflection on the other party's burly figure and black armor. But Qin Forget could know that the other party was definitely the elite of the elite, and from his gaze, Qin Forget felt bloody, brave, tenacious, resolute, ruthless and cruel. This is an excellent warrior, an indomitable warrior who dares to draw his sword and slash even if the enemy is a god.
The people in the city and the city all looked at their leaders in surprise, what happened to the boss? What are you looking at stupidly for so long?
"Owner, the knights below are the most elite I have ever seen, even compared to the Khitan cavalry in the north. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. Yang Xuan took a step closer to Qin Wang, his face full of solemnity.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we resist the city, they won't be able to attack it." Qin Wangxian retracted his gaze and glanced at the young army and county soldiers on the city wall, full of confidence.
Huang Ling's subordinates are so elite, it seems that he has to reassess its strength.
As soon as Qin Forget retracted his gaze, the tall knight felt it
Jue was relieved, "Let's go back." He no longer hesitated, and took the lead in turning the horse's head and walking back.
"Big brother, how do you know if you can't attack it if you don't try?" The third child shouted quickly.
"It's useless to have him there." The tall knight grabbed his horse's belly and trotted into the darkness. The rest of the cavalry turned their horses in an orderly manner to follow, leaving only the third child to stay in place, looking dazed.
The cavalry came abruptly and went quickly. When the last knight also disappeared into the darkness, the young soldiers and county soldiers in the city realized that they had scared off an elite cavalry, and soon the city erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
Qin Forget smiled and looked at the excited crowd, "Brothers, you scared off a cavalry!" He shouted at his brothers.
"See? Just now, that cavalry slaughtered the Li family and the Zhuangzi outside the Wang family. Qin Forget still looked at the direction in which the cavalry disappeared, this was the first time he had seen a cavalry in formation, the momentum was so powerful, it would be great if he also had a cavalry like this.
"They, who are they?" Yin Xian kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Wang's two families were uprooted like this, and even the two heads of the family fell in the banquet hall, how could he not be afraid?
"Yin Xian, you don't need to know that when the sun rises tomorrow, you will still be your county order, and Wang Ming will still be his master book." Qin Forget patted Yin Xian's shoulder, and when he saw his body, he couldn't help but tremble a few times, so he could only stop. "It's just that it's time for you to write a report to Huang Jia. Basically, the Li and Wang families plotted to rebel, but fortunately, you found out in time, and united Dongzhuang and Qinjiacun to suppress the rebellion. It's just that I didn't expect that these two families knew that they were deeply responsible, and they resisted to the end and were all suppressed by us. You, understand? β
Yin Xian raised his head and looked at Qin Forget in astonishment, not knowing what Qin Forget wanted to do.
"Qin γγγγγγ Village Chief Qin, Huang Ling ordered us to be killed, is such a letter useful? Yin Xian had the courage to ask Qin Wang.
"It seems that Lord Yin is really scared, I still don't understand this. There has to be a plausible reason for such a big thing this time, right? Otherwise, Huang Ling or the Huang family would not be able to explain to the imperial court. Although behind the Huang family is the right minister Wenman, don't forget, there is also a left minister Li Chengan watching from the side. We all need a fig leaf. Looking at the mud-like appearance, the disdain on Qin Wang's face couldn't help but be exposed any longer.
"Yin Xian, I hate you very much, even more than I hate Huang Ling." Qin Forget said bluntly, "You have attacked Qinjia Village many times, and you also want to use the vicious plan to blockade Qinjia Village, and I planned to teach you a hard lesson when I first heard the news. β
When Yin Xian heard this, he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction in his heart, "Yin Xian doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and I ask Lord Qin not to worry about villains." He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Qin Forget didn't pull him either, "But I've shed too much blood today, and I don't want to kill anymore." As I said just now, we all need a fig leaf now, and for us, as long as you are still the commander of Chicheng County, then Dong Zhuang and I will not be exposed to the eyes of the world. Until now, I haven't seen your ability, Yin Xian, if you don't want to be this puppet county commander for the rest of your life, do you know how to do it? β
"Yin Xian knows that Yin Xian will only look forward to the adults, and I will do whatever the adults want me to do." Yin Xian hurriedly replied, and also changed his name to Lord Qin Wang.
Qin Forget shook his head, "It's not enough, you have to show your ability, it's impossible to give a waste to such an important position as the Chicheng County Order." Just like Wang Ming, why don't I kill him, because he is very capable and bold enough, I need such a person. β
Yin Xian pondered for a moment, "
Rest assured, Yin Xian knows what to do. He affirmed.
"Very good, as long as you are sincere and sincere to me, I will not treat you badly. Neither you nor your family will be subjected to any harassment. Don't worry, Su Dingnan has already sent someone to pass the word, he didn't do anything to your family, they are all fine. β
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, General Su! Yin Xian was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
"Don't thank me, I gave him the order to kill your whole family, but he relented at the time." Qin Wang said lightly, "I still want to punish him, but he actually didn't obey the order." β
After saying this, Yin Xian's cold sweat flowed out again, and he was even more grateful to Su Dingnan in his heart.
"Yin Xian, you have always been Huang Ling's confidant, how much do you know about him?" Looking at the direction in which the cavalry disappeared, Qin Forget suddenly asked.
"My lord, what does this mean?" Yin Xian looked at Qin Forget in puzzlement.
"Still don't understand?" Qin Forget glanced at Yin Xian, "When he was in Chicheng, I always thought he was just a greedy and tyrannical waste, but now I feel that I can't see through him. Especially a series of things during this time, which seems to come from his handwriting? And this cavalry, have you seen it? Whether it's from the Golden Mountain or Huangling, do you know? β
"I think it's strange for my lord to say that." Hearing Qin Forget say this, Yin Xian thought about it carefully and found a lot of suspicious things, "That Huang Ling has changed a lot, such an elite army is definitely not from the Golden Mountain." I have been to Yunzhou City several times, and I have never heard that Yunzhou has decent cavalry, let alone such an elite one. But it's even more impossible to say that it's Huang Ling, I've been by his side for so many years, and I know exactly how many hairs he has on his buttocks. β
"So what do you mean, this cavalry fell from the sky?" Qin Forget asked dissatisfiedly.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Qin Wang's tone, Yin Xian was so frightened that he trembled again, "I remember, Huang Ling looted a lot of goods from Chicheng every year, but in fact, no one knew where he used it. It's impossible to say that they were all sent to the Huang family, I have been by his side for seven or eight years, and I have never seen a large amount of goods shipped to the Huang family. Could it be that he secretly raised these cavalrymen with these goods? β
"What do you think? This is 500 cavalry, not 500 chickens, hidden everywhere. How could Akagi hide five hundred cavalry in a big place? Yang Xuan glared at Yin Xian and said mockingly.
"Yes, yes, that's what Lord Yang said." was sneered at by Yang Xuan like this, Yin Xian hurriedly accompanied him.
"That's the problem, Huang Lingneng quietly hid five hundred elite cavalry, this is the most terrifying. I just don't know if the Huang family knows about it. Qin Forget frowned, and always felt that Huang Ling was not so simple.
"I must know, Huang Ling is a member of the Huang family, and he can't hide it if he wants to." Yang Xuan said without thinking.
"I can't see, just a Chicheng County Order, the Huang family will arrange five hundred cavalry for Huang Ling? That's five hundred cavalry, and it's one of the few in the entire Dayan. Even in the Golden Mountain, it is a treasure, how can it be given to Huang Ling, a distant relative of the Huang family. Qin Forget shook his head and said affirmatively.
"What does the owner mean that Huang Ling quietly cultivated his own power and wanted to eat inside and out? Can't you? Yang Xuan looked at Qin Forget in surprise.
"I'm not sure, I'm just guessing, don't talk about it to any of you. Yang Xuan, send someone to investigate, I think Huang Ling must have a secret on him, maybe we can use it. Qin Forget commanded.
"Okay owner, I've made a note of it." Yang Xuan nodded and agreed.
