Chapter 136: Punching the card

Hu Feng was surrounded by the iron armor of Futu all over his body at this time, looking down on the entire battlefield like an emperor, he held a big flag in his hand, the flagpole made of stainless steel was hung with the banner of the coarse cloth of Huangzhou, and the huge tiger head was dyed with the blood of a strange beast called Elong, which could never fade, and the totem of the Rouran Department of Huangzhou was now the military flag of Xuanjing, the sect leader of the Muyun Regiment!

The Futu Iron Riders pulled out an iron rod two feet long from behind them, and pressed the upper bracket with their fingers, the mechanism began to activate, the iron rod elongated, and instantly turned into an iron spear more than a zhang long, and the huge spearhead was carved with strange patterns, which only the most knowledgeable weapon masters in Kyushu could recognize, these patterns are the natural patterns left by the craftsmen of the You tribe when they smelted metal with a special flame, and the pinnacle of alchemy weapons!

The first row of spear-wielding Futu iron horsemen charged unscrupulously in the sentry post, they did not need to aim at the enemy at all, they only needed to hold their iron spears, pick up the wooden barricades that stood in the way, and gallop back and forth on the battlefield, the steel fortress formed by the Futu iron armor ensured that no weapons and enemies could hurt them.

The flesh and blood of the Simiao County Sergeants were splattered under the trampling of the Futu Iron Cavalry, and they had no means to launch a counterattack under the iron hooves of such Hell Cavalry.

After the charge of the first row of cavalry, the formation of the defenders in the outpost had been completely disrupted, and the second row of Futu Iron Cavalry drew their heavy swords at their waists, waving, galloping, and roaring and rushed up to slash the survivors of the enemy.

And behind them, there is a platoon of cavalry, they are armed with light crossbows, in the rear to shoot the scattered enemy, although their hand crossbows are not as good as the fire crossbow given to Xuanjing at night, but on the battlefield in Kyushu, I am afraid that there is no more hand crossbow of the army, which can compare to the lethality of the continuous fast crossbow of the Futu Iron Cavalry!

The battlefield did not last long, and Hu Feng did not give the order to kill everything, Xuan Jing had already said that no matter whether the war was just or not, but the soldiers on the battlefield were innocent, and they could only unconditionally obey the orders of the generals, because these were all of a soldier!

In the same way, as a soldier, you must respect your enemies, soldiers, and use them as a last resort!

Lan Xiao rode on a horse, and the long sword in his hand constantly commanded the soldiers to step forward to block the enemy, but he also knew in his own heart that all this was in vain, and there was no national cavalry in Kyushu that could resist the enemy in front of him.

His own soldiers retreated to his side and shouted, "General, retreat, before the enemy is ready to kill them all!" ”

Lan Xiao said angrily: "You have been blessed in the General's Mansion for many years, isn't it just for this day? ”

The soldier wiped the blood on his face, which was the blood of his companions, and said with a crying voice: "General! We are defeated! If the general doesn't leave now, all the people will die in vain today! ”

After that, the pro-soldier glanced back at Lan Xiao one last time, pulled a war horse from the side, slashed it on the horse's buttocks, and rushed forward without looking back, still shouting loudly: "General, go quickly!" Revenge for the brothers......"

……

When the New Year's cannon sounded, many people in Simiao County did not fall asleep, Lan Xiao finally fled back to Simiao County with a wound, but Sun Qingping was kneeling in the hall at this time, wearing a court dress, to greet the father-in-law in the county king's mansion, and they brought the dishes given by the county king this year, which is a great honor for a courtier.

In addition to Sun Qingping in charge of the soldiers and horses of the county, he also depends on the strength of his brother Sun Qingfang's Yaowanggu, after all, Yaowanggu increases the price of grain every year, and the silver taels offered to the county's palace are almost the same as the annual tax revenue of Simiao County.

No one will get along with money, even in Simiao County, everything belongs to the county king, but the county king still can't stop his greedy heart, those white flowers and gold swaying things, only in his own treasury, is the county king's greatest wish.

It's just that the king of the county seems to have forgotten one thing, within a county, the people don't know that there is a king, and the king doesn't know that there are people, I'm afraid that he, the king of the county, will come to an end.

In the east of the Dian country, there is a county named Houjin, the founding of the country is only more than 200 years old, the ancestors are a group of herdsmen on the border of the country, love to keep pigtails like pigtails on their heads, after they established the county, let all the people in the county city, have braids on the back of their heads, and also claim that "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head!" ”

These people have been powerful and blessed in the Houjin County for more than 200 years, and the cities of the Dian Kingdom have no contacts, and they have always claimed that they have gone to the heavenly kingdom to go to the court, and the envoys of Simiao County who went to ask for trade were actually asked by the king of the other county to kneel on both knees to salute, and later after negotiation, they knelt down on one knee to present the letter of the king of the county.

Rao is so, Simiao County's trade request, was still rejected by the Houjin State, so twenty years ago, the Dianwang Court issued a conquest order, including Simiao County, eight counties and states took the lead in sending troops, attacking Houjin County, at that time the eight counties of the coalition army was only more than 20,000 people, in the face of more than 500,000 defenders in Houjin County, it was like a bamboo, and finally smashed the Houjin County Palace, and pulled the Empress Dowager out of the phoenix bed, let the coalition army ****.

The people in the city celebrated and even helped the coalition army enter the city, but in just twenty years, those perverse monarchs have not found out, and history is sometimes strikingly similar.

……

On the first day of the new year, Xuan Jing slept lazily in the room, and slept a little too late yesterday, until the second half of the night, after Bai Lie came back to report the battle report, Xuan Jing went back to the room to rest.

Everything went smoothly, and even Hu Feng caught an officer surnamed Ding and some personal soldiers from the county king's mansion, these people were crucial chess pieces for Xuan Jing.

Because the trade of medicinal materials in the whole territory of the Dian Kingdom is a tax rate uniformly set by the royal court, of which the royal court extracts thirty percent of the tax, and the remaining seventy percent is the county king of the county.

In the past, Simiao County increased the price of grain, but it was just a private act of the Red Scorpion Gang assigned by Yaowanggu, and it had nothing to do with the County King's Mansion, but this time, the County King's Mansion directly sent troops to increase the tax rate on medicinal materials, but it violated the dignity of the Dianwang Court.

Xuan Jing knew in his heart that although the entire county of Dianguo now had the behavior of privately collecting high taxes on medicinal materials, no county dared to send officers and soldiers to guard the official roads like Simiao County, and set up checkpoints to exploit medicinal material merchants.
