Chapter 3 5 The Capture of the City
After dark, the city of Essras is no longer as calm as it used to be.
In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in the residence of the Viscount of White Muolos, and the fire was quite fierce. White Muolos fled from the mansion in a hurry, while gathering private troops and regular troops to drive the slaves in the mansion to fight the fire, and at the same time sent another group of people to urgently garrison the slaves' gathering area to prevent slave riots. Although White Muolos was brutal, he was quite methodical. He noticed that there was not only one place where the fire started and concluded that it had been deliberately set on fire. And the first object of his suspicion was naturally the slaves who were abused by him all the time. When Pikuru's men came to report that their commander had not returned, the uneasiness in Baimuolus's heart rose sharply, could it be that Pikuru had been killed by the slaves?
"Immediately send thirty more men to guard the city gates, in case something happens!" White Muolos realized that the situation might be more complicated than he thought.
However, he was one step slower after all, and just as he gave the order, the ten soldiers guarding the gate were attacked by several unknown people. The opponent acted quickly and ruthlessly, and dealt with ten soldiers in just half a minute. Then the men opened the gates of the city, and a large number of men poured in from outside the city. This group of people is naturally the special force commanded by Li Tianhao.
After entering the city, Li Tianhao asked Tatar to lead some people to guard the city gate, while the rest went straight to the official residence of Viscount Bai Muolos. The thirty soldiers who came to reinforce became the appetizer of this large army on the way. The soldiers, who were busy fighting the fire, were attacked from behind by 400 men led by Jimda, and they immediately became a mess. White Muolos struggled to reorganize his troops in an attempt to get them back in array, but the slaves who were fighting the fire scattered in a hurry, making the scene even more chaotic. White Muolos immediately sent men to the slave enclaves to recall the troops there, while reorganizing the collapsed subordinates and launching a counterattack. Just as he was shouting and commanding his troops, a masked rider leaped out of the wall of fire, wielding his twin swords straight at White Muolus!
His guards noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Unfortunately, their level was so far from that of the sword-wielding rider that their futile resistance came to an end in only a moment. Seeing that he was already alone, Bai Muolos hurriedly blocked the rider's first wave of slashes with the scimitar in his hand, and at the same time scolded: "Who are you! Dare ・・・・・・"
Before the words fell, Bai Muolus only felt that his gaze rolled rapidly, and then fell to the ground! He was amazed to find that he saw a headless corpse on his horse! That, isn't that his own body?
At the moment when White Muolos shouted loudly, the masked rider's twin knives had already cut off his head. Bai Muolos was too careless, originally his martial arts didn't stop there, but the opponent's almost harsh sword technique didn't give him room to play at all! Such a heroic martial skill amazed all the men of Viscount White Muolos! They didn't even have time to catch up, and their commander was in a different place! Seeing that the Viscount was dead, everyone's courage disappeared without a trace in an instant, and no one wanted to take the credit for avenging the Lord Viscount from the hands of this terrible opponent in front of him.
"Viscount White Muolos has been defeated in Lower Muller! Whoever surrenders will not die! Kill all those who resist! Riding his horse and scooping up the head of White Muolus, the masked rider shouted loudly. The sound suddenly spread like a long leg, and it spread to every corner of the fire. Almost all of the soldiers of White Muolos stopped in place at that moment, and then lowered their weapons, and the few recalcitrant ones who were the few who resisted quickly fell under the swords of Jimda and the others.
After receiving an urgent order from the Viscount of White Muolus, the troops who hurried to support were intercepted by the men and horses led by Li Tianhao on the way. The short encounter almost became a one-sided situation, and in just one face, the centurion Liddell, the leader of the team, was pierced in the throat by Li Tianhao's fast sword! All the soldiers retreated in exclamation, while Li Tianhao's army, which was inferior in numbers, pressed forward step by step - the advantage in numbers in the narrow street battle did not play a big role. However, this was just the beginning, and just as the soldiers were overwhelmed by the death of their commander, a rain of arrows came from the rooftops around them! The surrounding houses have been occupied by the Einsatzgruppen led by Woolley, and the entire army has been semi-encircled! The morale that had already been shaken was even more severely hit at this time.
At this time, news came of the death of Viscount White Muolos. Li Tianhao's army roared with joy, while the officials and troops were even more chaotic. Li Tianhao took the opportunity to shout loudly: "We are here to fight the slave owner Bai Muolus and liberate the slaves in this city!" Now that White Muolos is dead, do you need to fight for such a tyrannical ruler, all the slave-turned-soldiers? Mercenaries, your employer is dead, and no one will pay your commission if you fight again, so surrender quickly! Officers and soldiers, if you are determined to die, you can attack us, if you still believe that the slave soldiers will fight alongside you! ”
Li Tianhao's remarks, threats and incitement, provocation and righteousness are mixed together, and they are a reality that touches everyone's hearts. The officers and soldiers who had been making a lot of noise suddenly fell silent. Soon, one spear was thrown to the ground, followed by a second, a third, and the surrenderers increased exponentially, and in just a few minutes, the troops all laid down their weapons.
Li Tianhao, who was sitting on the horse, watched this scene, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Everything was as he expected, the brutal rule of White Muolos had long been strong, except for a very small number of officers, there was probably no one in the city of Essras who wanted Viscount White Muolos to continue to live, as long as he broke through the seemingly impossible walls, everything would be as smooth as the destruction of the decay. The hearts of the people of Ashrath fell before its strong walls.
At the end of 799 A.D., the city of Essras, an important city in the mountains of the country of Yakee, changed its owner overnight.
This incident did not attract the attention of the world at the time, and at best it was just the unconspiracy of a group of bandits. According to historical records, this is the first performance of the character Li Tianhao on the stage of Yaki Country. Most viewers didn't even know the actor's name at the time, but the scene still attracted the attention of some important people in the Yaki country.
