Chapter 375: Into the City
In front of the north gate of the new Chang'an, the Apocalypse Guard was waiting for it, and the first row was nearly a hundred Apocalypse Chariots, wiping a new armor and a cold and shining crossbow bed, which made people feel chills when they looked at it from afar.
Behind this torrent of steel are all cavalry, the average one person and four horses of the Apocalypse Guard is more than surplus, and the soldiers equipped with the Black Phoenix Continuous Shooting Crossbow, the Moon Chasing Sniper Crossbow, the steel saber and the stainless steel round shield are cavalry on their horses, and the infantry when they dismount, which can adapt to almost all war environments.
Behind the cavalry were dozens of artillery pieces, calibrated and ready to fire, aiming at the new Chang'an City a mile away.
Since most of the people were pulled by Xu Rui to become cavalry, the artillery unit was seriously understaffed, and there were only two people operating each artillery, and the firing rate dropped by seventy, but it was enough to make a show.
Xu Rui and a group of major generals were just behind the Apocalypse Chariot, before the cavalry, looking at the magnificent new Chang'an City in front of them, and there were already a number of wealthy families waiting at the gate of the city, ready to dedicate the Xiongcheng behind them and the entire Xichuan to its new master.
"Marshal, no ambush soldiers have been found within thirty miles of the city."
Cao Siyuan, who set off with the scouts three days in advance, had just joined the team and said aloud beside Xu Rui.
Xu Rui nodded and did not speak.
Zhang Zuofeng and Guo Shengbao glanced at each other and asked Xu Rui in a low voice: "Dashuai, do you think there may be ambushes in the city?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head, but still didn't speak.
Zhang Zuofeng wanted to ask again, but Lin Shaodong on the side said with a smile: "Don't ask, the handsome man was because he fled too quickly and lost face, and now of course he has to show off in front of these old and young people in Xichuan." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Xu Rui glanced at Lin Shaodong angrily, and said angrily: "Ideas and words, how can this be a show?" Ben Shuai obviously wants to use the strict military appearance of the Apocalypse Guard to deter those young people who are about to move! ”
Everyone snickered in their hearts, and secretly muttered to themselves Although our handsome man is always smiling, this heart is really not big, I am afraid that those wealthy families will have to bear it after entering the city.
Thinking about it, everyone hurriedly pretended to be suddenly bright, and nodded again and again, Xu Rui naturally didn't know what everyone was muttering, seeing that everyone was happy and surrendering, his eyebrows raised proudly, and finally said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go to the city!" ”
At the sound of an order, countless complicated whistles suddenly sounded in the Apocalypse Guard, and the whole team was like a huge bull, moving quickly, except for the artillery that entered the position, whether it was a chariot or a cavalry, all of them were neatly aligned, like a person, without the slightest disconnection.
The wealthy families in front of the city gate knew that Xu Rui was going to enter the city today, and they had already assembled in New Chang'an three days in advance, and after some open and secret fighting, they finally selected one hundred and eight "big men" with heads and faces as "representatives of liberation" to welcome Xu Rui into the city.
These people got up before dawn, and when the sun just rose, they went out of the city to wait, and waited until the third pole of the sun to wait for the apocalypse.
However, what is puzzling is that when the Apocalypse Guard came outside the city, he did not rush into the city, but set up a position, looking like he could attack at any time.
This immediately frightened a group of "Liberation Representatives", and hurriedly elected a respected family master, trying to "clear up the misunderstanding" with the Apocalypse Guard, but before the master could go to the front of the battle, he was frightened back by a sharp arrow shot at his feet.
The power of life and death is in the hands of Xu Rui, and everyone doesn't know what Xu Rui is paying attention to, neither advancing nor retreating, so they have to wait in place in embarrassment, and an invisible pressure instantly envelops everyone.
This is just the beginning, as time goes by, everyone's hearts become more and more bottomless, the pressure is like an ever-increasing magic code on the scale, more and more, when these pressures accumulate to a certain extent, their awe and fear of the Apocalypse will also increase sharply.
And just when everyone was about to be crushed by that invisible pressure, the Apocalypse Guard finally moved, and the soldiers set up the guard of honor, and a thunderous cry came from the loudspeaker.
"The Holy Lord has sent the Minister of Heaven Patrol to enter the city!"
As soon as these words came out, the "representatives of the liberation" immediately breathed a sigh of relief, re-fought with surprise, and greeted them in small steps.
The steel torrent of the Apocalypse Chariot slowly parted to both sides, Xu Rui jumped out immediately, and behind him was the murderous Apocalypse Warrior, as if there was an aura of contempt blocking everyone's footsteps, and they could only look up to him.
"After a few months, I didn't expect to meet you here again, everyone has always been good?"
Xu Rui stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed his hand to everyone slightly.
All the "representatives of the liberation" knelt down in unison and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Xu Rui bowed his hand to the north, and then bowed his hand to everyone, which was regarded as a return for Emperor Hongwei.
Everyone hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then shouted in unison: "I've seen Lord Qincha!" ”
Xu Rui nodded and took it, and a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen suddenly walked out of the "Representative of Recovery", and went straight to Xu Rui's war horse and hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Zhang Youlin, I have seen Lord Qincha, and the grass people represent the thirty-sixth family of Xichuan, and welcome your lord back to the city!" ”
Xu Rui carefully looked at the person in front of him, and saw that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and a tall figure, and at first glance he was an outstanding figure among the children of the family.
"Zhang Youlin, if I'm not mistaken, when this official first arrived in Xichuan, you were a scholar in Xichuan, and we met at the reception banquet."
Xu Rui said to Zhang Youlin with a smile.
Zhang Youlin didn't expect Xu Rui to remember himself, and immediately said with joy: "The adult is well-read and memorized, and he never forgets it, and he says that the score is not bad." ”
Xu Rui nodded, and said: "If you can be the representative, it means that the current new Chang'an is afraid that it has been pocketed by your Zhang family, right?" ”
Zhang Youlin said with a righteous face: "Lord Qiyu, the Cui family has the ambition of treason and prodigal son, and the Zhang family has no choice but to endure humiliation and lurk inside the enemy. ”
"Well said!"
Xu Rui laughed when he heard this, and the "representatives of the liberation" looked at each other a few times, and they all laughed with Xu Rui's rhythm, looking from a distance as if a group of crazy people had entered the wrong set.
"Come here!"
After laughing, Xu Rui beckoned to Zhang Youlin, Zhang Youlin was stunned for a moment, and took a step forward slightly.
"Tsk!"
Xu Rui smashed his mouth and said, "Come here, get closer!" ”
Zhang Youlin was stunned again, then overjoyed, and directly leaned his head to Xu Rui's side.
For a moment when he turned his head sideways, he clearly saw that the "Liberation Representatives" behind him were all looking at him, and the jealousy and envy in his eyes fell on him together.
Lord Qincha asked him to get closer, there must be something private to say to him, such an intimate act is enough to prove that the adults look at him differently, but this time, the status of the Zhang family in the family will definitely rise rapidly, if you can hold this thigh tightly, maybe you will soon be able to replace the Cui family.
Zhang Youlin was thinking about it, but he heard Xu Rui suddenly whisper in his ear: "You said that this handsome man is well-read and has a strong memory, and he will never forget it, which is true."
Therefore, Ben Shuai naturally remembers that after the Cui family's incident, your Zhang family, as a vassal, took the initiative to contribute, and won Cui Huanchen's trust, otherwise, Cui Huanchen would not have left such an important position as the deputy commander of the new Chang'an.
You can't fight for this convenience, and after the defeat of the Cui family, you will gather family forces to raise a big counterattack, kill all your original masters, and loot the Cui family's property and rights, and take the new Chang'an for yourself.
Poor Cui Huanchen prides himself on being wise, but he can't even see through the people around him, which is really embarrassing...... Right? ”
Xu Rui finished saying this heart-wrenching sentence with a smile, but the expression on his face was very kind, as if he was encouraging Zhang Youlin.
Zhang Youlin was like being struck by lightning, covered in cold sweat, and finally with a smiling face, he didn't let the "representatives of the liberation" not far away see the clues.
After Xu Rui said this, he was about to beat the horse and leave, Zhang Youlin came back to his senses, grabbed Xu Rui's horse reins and said: "My lord, the criminal officer knows that he is guilty, and he only asks the adult to raise his noble hand, and the criminal officer is willing to give all the things he has taken to the adult!" ”
Xu Rui glanced at him, gently snatched the reins of the horse, the smile on his face remained unchanged at all, but he didn't say a word, and walked towards the city gate with his men and horses swaggering.
Zhang Youlin looked at Xu Rui's back, his forehead was already in cold sweat, it was obviously a hot summer, but he felt like falling into an ice cave.
