Liang Taishou's tone was a little more angry, and he said loudly: "It is obvious before and after the incident that the official army has fallen into the anti-thief scheme, and the other party is treating the other party with precision. If this were not the case, the real combat power of the thieves would simply not be enough to deal with the officers and soldiers. If you don't do it now, when the scale of the thief army grows, then you will sit back and wait to die! ”

was repeatedly opposed by Liang Taishou, Hu Feng was also angry, and snorted: "Even so, it is a dignified duel, but according to the Imperial City Division, it only took half an hour before and after two thousand officers and soldiers, and the whole army was defeated, if it weren't for the strong anti-thief combat power, where would the means come to eliminate two thousand officers and soldiers in such a short time?" ”

"It must be a trick used by the thief......"

"Otherwise, 2,000 elite officers and soldiers will not be able to defeat a group of homeless people!"

The faction led by Liang Taishou and supported the continued dispatch of troops, and the conservatives led by Hu Feng argued with each other in the Taishou Mansion, and each seemed to have their own reasons.

Liang Taishou's face was gloomy, and he finally couldn't help but slam the table and let out a bang. If he had held great power in the past, how would this group of local officials and nobles dare to contradict him. Successive mistakes in decision-making and a great reduction in prestige have caused the current predicament.

The entire Taishou Mansion immediately fell silent.

"I've made up my mind."

After these four words were spoken, Liang Taishou seemed to have suddenly aged several years, slowly sat back in place, and said in a tone full of frustration and gloom: "After Nanyang Mansion lost two thousand officers and soldiers, it was no longer able to suppress the rebellion in the entire mansion. Now recruit the members of the militia and be sure to defend Nanyang City. In addition, I immediately sent someone with my documents to report to the county town, and asked my lord to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Listening to Liang Taishou's words, both Hu Feng and Cao Wei stood up in unison.

Everyone knows that Liang Taishou and the county guard Lan Bowen do not deal with each other, because Lan Bowen is a royalist faction, and he looks down on each other by virtue of the power of the queen's faction, and even wrote a book to criticize him. If the news of the rebellion reaches Ansan County, Lan Bowen has an excellent handle, and he will inevitably report to the empire and attack the other party.

Liang Taishou and Hu Feng and other officials have a good relationship with this Taishou, even if they put aside the possibility of being implicated, they don't want him to step down.

"I know your concerns, but I can't do it if I don't report it. This gang of thieves always needs to be pacified by a large army, not to mention ...... "Liang Taishou."

He closed his eyes bitterly and sighed: "Even if we don't report it, the news can't be hidden." Lan Bowen can be on top, and he still has a set of skills. Maybe you've got the news now, but you're just pretending not to know, waiting to see our jokes. ”

The officials in the Taishou Mansion suddenly fell into silence, and it was difficult to persuade them anymore.

"Alright, let's all go down, and do as we were told. I just hope that the thief's movements can be slower, so that the official can keep the city. Liang Taishou whispered as he slowly got up and staggered away from the back hall. Only Hufeng and them were left speechless, and only after half a ring did they burst into discussion, and they withdrew from the Taishou Mansion in twos and threes.

Everyone knows that the owner of this mansion is afraid that it won't be long before he will be replaced.

In the fluctuation of people's hearts, Nanyang Fucheng spent a difficult day.

The rumors of the battle of Sixian have completely spread in the city. Coupled with the fact that the Black Flag secret agents secretly fueled the flames and desperately spread rumors, the panic in Nanyang Mansion had reached an extreme, forcing the government to carry out comprehensive martial law during the day.

But such a move only restored calm to Nanyang City on the surface, and did not alleviate the panic in the hearts of the civilians in the slightest.

Finally, when it was almost dark, a large group of people appeared on the official road at the end of the horizon. There were good-eyed officers and soldiers on the city wall, and they quickly recognized the banner that came to fight. That familiar flag made him can't help but shout out with joy.

"It's cavalry! Xiao Qianhu has returned with troops! ”

The sound spread, and the entire city of Nanyang City was boiling.

As the distance gradually closed, more and more guards saw the identity of the comer. The familiar uniform leather armor of the military flag, coupled with the queue that could barely be maintained between the marches, was undoubtedly the cavalry of the Empire.

The dark clouds that had shrouded everyone's hearts for more than a day, and the sense of tension and fear quickly dispersed.

Once the cavalry army led by Xiao Qianhu arrives, won't it be easy to pacify these rebels?

Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the city garrison, or those ordinary militia groups that assisted in the defense, they all talked excitedly. But soon someone realized that something was wrong and was surprised: "Why are so few people coming?" ”

Xiao Daocheng led more than 1,000 cavalry to leave Nanyang Mansion, and the good news came that 100,000 homeless people were leveled at a small price in a few steps. There were at least eight or nine hundred people when they came back, but no matter how you look at them, there were less than five hundred officers and soldiers. Where is the Great Army? How is it that half of the cavalry is missing?

Almost immediately, the lively atmosphere on the city's head re-condensed as if it had been blown by a cold snap. Some people try to find a reason to convince everyone and convince themselves: "Maybe this is just the first army to play the front, and the army is behind." ”

At this time, the cavalry troops commanded by Zhang Wuwu were wearing the uniform of the officials and soldiers of Nanyang City, armor and weapons, and they couldn't see any difference in appearance, and most of these disguised officers and soldiers were Zhang Wuwu's veterans, these veterans were originally former imperial soldiers, and they were naturally very similar in disguise, whether it was their appearance or the unique murderous aura of the soldiers.

Zhang Wuwu barely gathered 300 cavalry, and the other 200 could only be selected from Zhou Ping's team, but most of Zhou Ping's troops did not know how to ride, so Zhao Gong thought about using ropes to tie his legs on both sides of his abdomen, and then selected 200 warriors to serve as cavalry.

What catches your eye is a city wall that is more than ten meters high, with a wide moat, and the river water has been introduced, about 20 meters high, and the suspension bridge lies on the moat, which shows that it did take some work.

The gates were now open, and a few people were coming in and out.

"Go ahead, slow down, not too fast." Zhang Wuwu said slowly.

"No!"

So the group of people stepped forward without hurry, and soon appeared within 200 meters in front of the city gate.

The city guards looked intently and saw that it was the unified military uniform of Nanyang Mansion City, so they all stood up, and some people even couldn't help cheering, and now there were a group of elite troops in Nanyang Mansion City.

The speed of the horses was so fast, even if they were not in a hurry, they arrived in front of the city gate in ten seconds.

"No, this is not Xiao Qianhu's cavalry, some of them actually tied their legs to the belly of the horse!" The captain of the gatekeeper was suddenly very alarmed, and shouted loudly: "Quick, close the gates, and you can't let them in." ”

However, it was already too late at this time, and now there were only more than 500 soldiers in Nanyang City, and there was only a team of soldiers at the city gate, so how could they have time to close the door.

Zhang Wuwu laughed fiercely, rode up fiercely, and only heard the neighing of the horse, and he had already rushed into the city gate.
