Chapter 365: The Punishment of Doing the Same
The City Lord's Mansion was wiped out in just half an hour from the moment the gate was broken, and then swept all the way under the leadership of the Eagle Helmet Knight.
The Demon Dragoon itself has a backbone who has worked in the inner guard, and the street battles are handy, and those flying sand warriors hidden behind the eaves of the house are no opponents at all.
Lan Tianyu followed all the way, and he finally saw the strength of this legendary army, strong attacks, storms, street battles to consolidate the occupied area, every strategic purpose was perfect, and the flying sand army rampant in the Western Regions was like mud in front of them.
At this moment, Yang Jue swept all the way from the streets and alleys with the Yuan Fang brothers and the sergeants led by Yu Deshui on the east gate of the road, as long as they encountered the rebels, they would not let go of any of them and kill them directly on the spot, and shouted at the same time
"The army entered the city, and the people closed their houses. ”
Half of the riots in the city were brewing, and half were suppressed as soon as they formed.
There are not many Flying Sand troops who can withdraw from the City Lord's Mansion, and those who withdraw are also scattered in all directions. As the middle-aged bearded man said, their journey was too smooth, and they experienced very few defeats, so the retreat became a rout, and even the morale of the troops assembled with the other city gates was affected by the rout.
Coupled with the high moon and wind, although the rumored enemy is only 2,000 people, the momentum seems to be far more than those points.
The guards of several city gates were a little frightened, and they couldn't see where the leader was. Second, they couldn't see where the enemy was, and could only hear shouts of killing from afar.
The middle-aged bearded man was very embarrassed, he fled in all directions with his guards and the routs, and followed by Zhou Zhe who was chasing in the air and Wei Lan who jumped all the way on the roof of the high wall, and a red light flashed from time to time to take away the lives of the flying sand warriors.
Can't be exposed, don't look back, run all the way.
I have to say that the middle-aged bearded man who mastered the essence of the old robbers was very thorough, and he kept his head under the essence and went all the way to the west of the city, only walking in the shadows, quietly, and ran to the garrison general in the west of the city in a daze.
When the garrison general saw the beard and appearance, he was so frightened that the three souls came out of the seven holes. He had ever seen the leader so embarrassed, his chest was full of blood, and his face was even more pale and bloodless.
"Protect me, leave Haven, inform the other teams, and evacuate immediately. The Daishin army is coming. ”
Rather than wasting their numbers in night and street battles, which they are not good at, it is better to retreat.
It seems that the practice of being timid as a mouse is actually to preserve strength. The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was broken open, and the well-coordinated attack of Dasheng's army made him understand that there was absolutely no chance of winning a frontal battle with Dasheng's army, whether it was the quality of the soldiers or the equipment, it was worthless to go to a hard encounter in a completely crushed situation.
The news spread quickly, and the garrisons of the various cities, after receiving the order, began to scatter through the gates, and some of them looted for their personal wealth, and then threw torches at the gates of the houses.
The flames rose, the shouts were everywhere, the people were howling, and this sheltered city was even more than the day, and it became a hell on earth. But fortunately, the captains' practices were in place, and those who were set on fire to the house were organized and forcibly pulled to put out the fire. This is the wartime rule that they have laid down, and property can be burned, but combatants cannot consume physical strength and personnel here.
Seeing that the fire cut off the pursuit route, Wang Rui was also helpless, so he could only order to stop the pursuit, and instead eliminate the rebellious army and people in the city, capture those who could be captured alive, and cut down all those who could not be captured alive.
Zhou Zhe led Wei Lanxin to a broken city wall in the west of the city that was broken and set on fire.
Outside the city, there was a noise, it was the sound of horses' hooves going away, the moon was dark and the wind was high, suitable for a strong attack, but it was also not suitable for pursuit, it was too dark, and he was not familiar with the terrain, and the leader of the flying sand was mixed in the sergeant and couldn't tell who was who in the distance.
"Let him run away. Wei Lan shot an arrow angrily, and after a while, there was a miserable howl.
Xin Chai put away the dagger and looked helplessly at the city.
Haven City, in one day, changed hands for the second time.
By daybreak, the whole city had settled down, and the fire had been extinguished, but the green smoke that rose testified to the chaos of the middle of the night.
On both sides of the street, groups of sergeants in demon dragon armor beat their shields and did the work of reassuring the people
"The army entered the city, and the people closed their houses. ”
On the ground, there were traces of blood that had not yet dried up, and those captured prisoners were disarmed and gathered together, the forbidden spirit ring was not enough at all, and they were directly trapped in a long line, escorted by the sergeants, and gathered in the central square, waiting to be disposed of. It used to be the place where the city lord gave orders, just like every county in Dasheng, there was always a high platform for the county commanders to give orders to inform the people to say things.
Zhou Zhe's backbones still have different opinions on the disposal of these captives and the chaotic people, and Yang Jue and the others feel that they should be killed, because they are the culprits responsible for the current situation in Haven City, and it is the proper intention to show the public.
But Wang Rui has a different idea
"It is not a crime to follow the customs of the locals, and it is not a crime to plunder in the Western Regions. ”
Killing is nothing more than a one-shot killing, and not killing seems to have nothing to lose for them.
Raiding in the Western Regions is indeed not guilty, it is almost a daily hunting behavior, and in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, it is no different from going out to hunt wild meat. In this way, they killed a group of people because of the fire robbery, and after that, their group of people who came from the Great Sheng will become incompatible with the entire Western Regions, and Haven City is a very important oasis supply point to the east of the Western Regions.
Yang Jue understands it, and Zhou Zhe also understands it, Zhou Zhe is just a pity that he didn't bring his boss Shengnan, otherwise she would definitely give the best advice.
"You can not kill, but you have to do it according to the failure of the raid. Wang Rui made a suggestion again, and this time, everyone unanimously approved it.
The result of the failure of the plunder is to be beaten and thrown out, and the valuable things on the body must be left behind, which is the rule of the people of the Western Regions.
The order was given, so Liu Maosheng carried it out, in addition to the confiscated weapons, as well as the belongings on his body, and then, the gang knocked these people out of Haven City.
The people of the Western Regions just watched the excitement, and then some merchants came forward to talk about buying their goods and weapons.
Liu Maosheng was a little uncomfortable at first, isn't this an obvious buying and selling of stolen goods?
Wang Rui patted him on the shoulder and said
"Do as the locals do. ”
And Lan Tianyu was dragged to be a consultant, after all, he was more good at dealing with merchants in the Western Regions.
As for Badan, he followed Zhou Zhe and Yang Jue in a hurry, like a fart who couldn't get rid of him, and he didn't leave greatness in three sentences
"Great Marquis Zhongyong, are you going to be the lord of this Haven City?"
"It's not. ”
"Great Dragoon Commander, do you need a tax collector in charge of purchasing?"
Zhou Zhe was speechless.
"Great conqueror, you don't need a faithful recorder to keep track of all that you are great. ”
Zhou Zhe turned his head, his eyes looked at the annoying Ba Dan, this move, scared Ba Dan a little unrelenting, last night, he was trembling and following the back of the team scared enough. Zhou Zhe, what is he going to do?
What Zhou Zhe saw was Badan's clothes, and along the way, as Zhou Zhe's guide and consultant, he was a little cold. I don't know how long I wore that dress, and I couldn't tell the color of the black. Moreover, the last paragraph of Badan's touched him. In order for him to convince those who oppose Flying Sand City, he needs a suitable person, Badan, who seems to be good.
Lan Tian Yu also seems to be good, but Lan Tian Yu already has other uses in mind, for example, the leading big brother of the Western Regions.
And Badan, with a smooth mouth and a philistine, understands what the people in the Western Regions at the bottom think, and it seems appropriate for him to be a lobbyist.
"Suo'e, bring the money, go to the city and buy him a few good clothes, and the servants who should buy them have also bought them for him, and now Badan is the liaison officer of Haven City. That's what it's called, right?"
Liaison officers, like envoys, diplomats.
As soon as he heard that he had a title, Ba Dan rubbed his hands
"Great... ”
"Okay, okay!" Suo E couldn't listen anymore, and pulled Ba Dan out of the door. It's not that he doesn't know how to pat horses, it's just that he knows Hou Ye's temperament, such a fleshy horse, and the horse's butt that he commands to pat is inflamed.
Yang Juexiao watched the two leave and muttered
"It's really a living treasure! Little junior brother, sometimes I really admire you, what kind of person can always come in handy in your hands. ”
Zhou Zhe spread his hands narcissistically: "That's, I'm Yang Jue's brother." ”
"Haha!" burst out of laughter in the City Lord's Mansion.
It didn't seem too strange for the people of the Western Regions to change hands twice a day for the city lord, even if they shouted last night that the fire was as bright as day. Soon after the captives and raiders were disposed of, the doors were opened to do what they had to do.
Zhou Zhe didn't bother to take care of the city, but gave the position of the city lord to Lan Tianyu
"This city, I sent you, you used him as a dowry to marry Yilan, or keep it for yourself, just let me give you the reward for sending us to the Ten Thousand Demon Caves, what do you think?"
As soon as Lan Tian Yu heard Zhou Zhe's statement, his surprised face couldn't calm down, and when he went to announce his declaration of becoming the city lord of Haven City, he went to find Yilan, as for what he said, no one knew, but at night, everyone also heard that Lan Tianyu would marry Yilan one day.
When Zhou Zhe heard it, he was really an efficient person, although Lan Tianyu was a hot-blooded young man, he was not a person who robbed and coerced, it was normal for beautiful women and handsome men to spend a full moon, and he said to Wang Rui with disdain
"Your three media and six hires have become long-distance travels, and you have been on the road, you are just too procrastinating. ”
Then he turned to Yuan Yuan
"Don't follow him. ”
saw Liu Maosheng snapping his fingers, Zhou Zhe was curious
"Liu Dabeard, what are you doing?"
Liu Maosheng was taken aback, thinking that he had a task, so he hurriedly stood up straight. Shi Yan said with a smile
"He's counting his wife is now a few months pregnant. ”
Everyone laughed, and Zhou Zhe laughed
"Learn from others, you see, how fast Liu Maosheng moves. ”
Zhou Zhe now has a supply point, and after seeing the combat power of Feisha City, his mood is relaxed, dozens of light and serious wounded have been released, no one has reduced the number of soldiers, and even the sergeants no longer have any worries. There is no attrition, and the weapons used by those soldiers in Flying Sand City can break through the demon dragon armor is called hell. How can someone wipe the neck and hurt the vital point when it is properly cooperated?
They were relaxed, and when Lan Tian Yu announced that he would be the lord of Haven City and would marry Princess Yilan, the entire people of Haven City were also relaxed, and even lit a bonfire on the street to cheer Lan Tian Yu's greatness.
Wang Rui shook his head when he heard this, the strange thoughts of the people in the Western Regions were really incomprehensible.
Everyone can be relaxed, but Wang Rui is the only one who can't, he doesn't guard the city gate, but he is responsible for the intelligence on the way to escape from the flying sand soldiers, everything doesn't seem so optimistic.
