Rezwan is one of the southern trading towns of Khazar province, which developed due to the flourishing of trade and decayed due to the decline of trade.

The recent turmoil in Persia, when the most powerful governor of Khorasan in the north was killed by his niece, plunged the whole north into chaos, the number of caravans plummeted, and Rezwan, as a commercial town, inevitably fell into depression.

"When is a day like this going to be a head?" A captain of the garrison who was in charge of guarding the city gates lamented in his heart.

In previous years, even in winter, at least one or two caravans would appear every month, and with his position, he could more or less get some oil and water, just like now, there have been no large caravans for more than a month.

The captain of the garrison was secretly saddened when he suddenly heard the excited shouts of the sentry.

"A large group of men and horses have been found in the east, and it looks like a caravan!"

The captain of the garrison climbed the watchtower excitedly, looked to the east, and sure enough, he saw a team of men and horses, the team was very large, there were more than 100 pack horses and camels combined, and more than 10 carts full of goods were also escorted.

"What a caravan!" The captain of the garrison had not seen a much larger caravan, he had once encountered a super caravan of more than a thousand camels, and the camels were carrying gorgeous silk and fine porcelain from the Tang Kingdom.

However, the captain of the garrison did not meet the caravan in Rezwan, but in the city of Tus, and the large caravans did not pay attention to remote and poor places like Rezwan, and even in Tus were not the main target of the caravan, they were targeting the wealthier cities in the south and west.

The scale of the caravan in front of him was already the largest the garrison captain had seen in recent years.

The caravan approached the city in a hurry, and several guys dressed as merchants rode away from the brigade and came to the city gate.

"This isn't Geitak, where did you come from, I haven't seen you get rich for a year, and the caravan has become so big!" The captain of the garrison recognized the identity of the man who was the leader, a caravan leader who often came to Rezwan to trade, and would come to Rezwan to trade once or twice a year, but the size of the other caravan was not so large before.

"Haha, I also want to, but unfortunately the caravan behind is not mine alone, but several together, now the trade route is not smooth, and it is safer for everyone to be together. These are all merchants from Gilholtz, and they have a lot of backlog of goods recently. Geetak pointed to the group behind him, and then put the customs clearance paperwork and the small leather bag containing the entrance tax into the hanging basket that had been put down at the head of the city.

The captain of the garrison listened to Gitak's words and nodded secretly, these days there is also a large backlog of goods from the steppe people in the city of Rezwan. At the same time, he also carefully observed the people behind Gitak, and did recognize a few businessmen from Gilholtz, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

After briefly checking some paperwork and secretly deducting some of the excess taxes, the captain of the garrison shouted to the soldiers guarding the door

"Open the gates and let them in!"

The soldiers at the gate of the city had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and they knew that the captain of the garrison was greedy for money, but they didn't care, they would be responsible for inspecting the goods for a while, and the captain of the garrison would not care if they took the opportunity to take some benefits.

No one noticed a few birds of prey hovering over the city gates.

"The gates are open, and they have begun to enter the city!" Pan Xiaogu's raptor beside him suddenly opened his eyes and shouted excitedly.

"Blow the trumpet! Assault of the whole army! ”

When the trumpeter heard the order, he immediately blew a horn made of buffalo horns.

Woo~

The low sound of the horn spread far away, and the soldiers who had been waiting on horseback heard the sound of the horn and immediately urged their horses under their crotches to rush towards the city of Rezwan.

Of course, the captain of the garrison also heard the sound of a horn in the distance, and before he could figure out what was happening, the caravan that had already entered the city suddenly attacked, and a big man wrapped in a face scarf cut his throat with a knife, if it wasn't for his subconscious retreat, maybe this knife could have cut off his head.

However, his throat was broken, and the captain of the garrison was no longer alive, but before he died, he saw more things, he saw Gitak and a few other merchants hiding in a corner with their heads in their hands, he saw the tightly wrapped men tear off their cloaks, revealing the armor hidden underneath, and hunted down his men everywhere, and he saw the curtain of the cart lifted, and it was not the goods inside, but the soldiers with heavy crossbows......

What the captain of the garrison could not see was that more soldiers were rushing towards the city gates, and he could not see what the town he was guarding looked like after more than two hours had completely fallen......

"My lord, the first and second battalions of the infantry have entered the city, and the cavalry has bypassed Rezwan and completely blocked the surrounding roads." With the raptor beast warrior broadcasting the battlefield situation in real time, Pan Xiaogu has a more accurate grasp of the battlefield situation and is more handy in command.

"How's the City Lord's Mansion in Rezwan?" Pan Xiaogu is now more and more fond of decapitation tactics, and for these medieval armies, just getting rid of the head of the army can often break the will to fight of the entire army.

The Beast Warrior closed his eyes and 'observed' for a moment, then spoke

"The assault force has already stormed the courtyard where the city lord is, and the two sides are fighting fiercely."

Pan Xiaogu nodded, the composition of the assault force is the inheritor squad + the Zhichong Mansion Guard mode, the day before yesterday they relied on this combination to kill the peak strength of the Mansion Guard Gilholtz City Lord, according to the intelligence, this person's strength should be the strongest one in the vicinity, this result gave Pan Xiaogu confidence, so today he was temporarily organized into a commando team specializing in decapitation operations, and the only thing he is worried about now is to escape from the target.

Pan Xiaogu couldn't intervene on the side of the decapitation operation, so he turned his attention back to the battle in other directions.

"How's the minions doing?"

The servant army was forcibly recruited by Pan Xiaogu from Gilholtz City, and he could have attacked Rezwan yesterday, but it was because he had to form a servant army that he was delayed for a day.

Pan Xiaogu didn't have much hope for the combat effectiveness of the servant army for the time being, and the main reason for organizing them was not to worry about leaving these young men in Gilholz City, otherwise as soon as they left on the front foot, the gang on the back foot might rebel, after all, it was impossible for him to leave too many people to defend the occupied town.

Pan Xiaogu organized a total of more than 3,000 servant troops, almost all the young and strong men in Gilholtz City, most of them have families, Pan Xiaogu gathered their family members together under house arrest, as hostages to force these people to fight, and at the same time, in order to prevent them from being in tandem, the servant army only has a 100-person unit, and each team of the Tang Army is equipped with a servant army of 100 people, and in each 100-person team, a strict armor protection and continuous sitting system is implemented to suppress these people, and when there are soldiers from other places, He would also mix people from different tribes in different places to make sure they didn't join each other.

In the next step, Pan Xiaogu is ready to buy some people in the servant army, and those who are active in fighting in everything or willing to cooperate with the Tang army are in the ranks of bribery, and Pan Xiaogu will gradually improve the treatment of these people, and allow them to divide the spoils, and gradually select suitable people as grassroots officers of the servant army.

Pan Xiaogu is ready to build the Hu servant army into an important auxiliary force to make up for the shortcomings of his current lack of troops.
