Chapter 14: Rebellion

After Zhou Yunfeng took the genius of the He family He Qianxing into his hands, he ordered the weapons to be returned to the city guards, and let He Chong continue to command, and let him order someone to replace the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion guarding the four gates.

Now that the people of the He family have been scared, Zhou Yunfeng will now return the weapons and the city gate to them, and they can't afford to turn over the big Lang, and they don't dare to say it.

After the Qinglong Army of the Four Gates withdrew, Zhou Yunfeng ordered the army to pack up and leave the city and withdraw from Yuanyang City from the south gate of Yuanyang City, and the Qinglong Army also lost almost a thousand people in this battle.

There are dead people in every big battle, and there are not many people brought out by Zhou Yunfeng, so he must replenish the source of troops on the way, otherwise his more than 30,000 people will be wiped out sooner or later.

Before entering the city, Zhou Yunfeng ordered Zhou Yunlong's three captains to count the casualties of both sides immediately after taking Yuanyang City, and check the information of the remaining soldiers of the city guards.

For those who have no relatives, or whose relatives are not in Yuanyang City, the soldiers will focus on interrogation, and then select a part of them to supplement the army.

All Zhou Yunfeng needed was cavalry, but even if all the horses in the city guard army were transferred, plus the horses vacated in the Qinglong Army due to the sacrifice of soldiers, it would not be enough for the more than 4,000 people selected.

If Zhou Yunfeng wanted to, it would be no problem to force out a thousand horses from He, Wu, and Xu, but Zhou Yunfeng didn't do it, he didn't want to force them too much, and besides, he also wanted to leave a little cavalry strength for Yuanyang City.

Therefore, Zhou Yunfeng selected 3,500 people out of the more than 4,000 people, and fortunately, there were more than 100 batches of war horses in the city guards, so although some of the war horses were killed in the battle, they were almost enough.

In this way, after a major battle, Yuanyang City was captured, and the army not only did not decrease, but increased by 2,500 people.

There was still an hour before dawn, and Zhou Yunfeng took the remaining members of the Fengyun mercenary group to the south city gate, followed by the seven martial emperors of the He, Wu, and Xu families.

"City Lord He, no matter what method you use, the four gates of Yuanyang City will be closed for five days, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Captain!" said He Jun, bowing.

"This is your first mission to submit to my Tianyun Empire, if something goes wrong, I will lead the army back!" Zhou Yunfeng said lightly.

"Rest assured, Captain He, He Jun will definitely complete the task successfully!" Hearing Zhou Yunfeng say that he would come back, He Jun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said.

"The head of this regiment believes in you!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"There will be a period in the future!" Zhou Yunfeng hugged his fist to He Yongchang and the others who were seeing off at the south gate.

"The head of the regiment cherishes all the way!" everyone said respectfully.

"Let's go!" Zhou Yunfeng glanced at these people meaningfully, and then ordered

An hour before dawn, Ho Jun ordered all the corpses to be disposed of and all blood to be washed away.

After dawn, it was as if nothing had happened except the cleaned streets.

And just as the city gate was about to be opened, an order from the city lord's mansion suddenly came: The city lord's mansion lost a heavy treasure last night, the four gates were closed, and the thieves were arrested! No one was allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who trespassed on them would be punished as thieves and be killed on the spot!

I have to say that He Jun has been the city lord for many years, and he has not been in vain, so he can find such a good excuse, so he not only found a reason to close the four gates, but also gave an explanation for what happened last night, and also reduced everyone's suspicions, effectively preserving the face of the city lord's mansion.

After all, compared to being submitted, being stolen still has a lot more face!

"See the regiment commander!" a mercenary of the Fengyun Mercenary Regiment bowed to Zhou Yunfeng.

"How's it going?" Zhou Yunfeng asked.

"Back to the head of the group, his subordinates stayed outside the city until noon, and many people had gathered outside Yuanyang City, but the four gates of Yuanyang City were still not opened, and a notice was posted outside the city!" said the mercenary group.

"What notice?" Zhou Yunfeng asked curiously.

"A notice to close the city gates, the notice says that the city lord's mansion lost a heavy treasure last night, and the four gates are closed, and the thieves are caught! No one is allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who trespasses will be punished as thieves and killed on the spot!" the mercenary group replied truthfully.

"I know what to say! You've worked hard, go down and rest first!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"Third brother, this He Jun is really an old fritter in the officialdom, this kind of excuse can be come up, it's really shameless!" Zhou Yunlong said with a smile.

"Isn't this exactly what we need?" said Zhou Yunfeng with a smile.

Now that Zhou Yunfeng led the army to fight the wolf cavalry battalion, and the ninth squad of the dragon tooth has sent the detailed news and distribution map of Yuanchang City, Zhou Yunhu has led the assault battalion to set off again an hour ago, but this time it is Yuanchang City that is going to infiltrate.

"That's right! the longer the news is closed, the better it will be for us!" Long Hao nodded.

They knew that they wouldn't be able to hide the matter of bypassing the Snake King City for long, but the longer they hid it, the more advantageous it would be, and they could take more cities by sneak attack.

"It's impossible to hide it for a long time, there are five cities away from Snake King City, four of which belong to Tianwu Province, if the reinforcements of the Congyun Empire want to support Snake King City, no matter which direction they come from, they must pass through one of these five cities, so as long as we can hide it for five days, we can surprise attack these five cities. This not only cut off the reinforcements of the Viper Legion, but also cut off the retreat of the Viper Legion, once this matter was transmitted to the Snake King City, the result can be imagined. Zhou Yunfeng shook his head and smiled.

"Yun Feng, I don't think this He Jun is very reliable!" Long Hao thought for a while and said.

"He is indeed unreliable, the three major families of Yuanyang City are unreliable, but they don't dare to betray us now, of course, there is a premise for this, that is, we can't defeat the battle. As long as we can keep winning, they will not dare to betray us. Zhou Yunfeng paused for a moment and sighed: "We are now short of troops, so we can only rule the captured cities in this way, not only Yuanyang City, but also the cities captured in the future will also be done in accordance with this method, unless the empire sends reinforcements to defend the cities we captured, there is no other way,." ”

Because Zhou Yunfeng attacked the city in the middle of the night every time, he had already led people to leave at dawn, and the news was closed better, so for five consecutive days, Zhou Yunfeng was like a bamboo, going to the next city every night, and connecting five cities in five days.

These five cities are Yuanyang City, Yuanchang City, Yonghe City, Yuansheng City, and Yuandu City in the order of conquering.

Among these five cities, Yuanyang City, Yuanchang City, Yuansheng City, and Yuandu City, plus Snake King City are the five counties of Tianwu Province that fell into the Congyun Empire, and these five counties are also the five counties that the Tianyun Empire promised to the Zhou family.

The Snake King City was originally not to teach the Snake King City, but called the Yuanyue City, and after the Viper Legion occupied the Yuanyue City, the name was changed to the Snake King City, and since then it has also become the lair of the Viper Legion.

Although the strength of Yuanyang City is not the weakest in the five cities, it is also ranked fourth, the strongest Yonghe City, although Yonghe City is also dominated by the three major families, but none of the three major families is under the He family in Yuanyang City, and there are 35,000 guards in Yuanyang City, including as many as 5,000 light cavalry.

Fortunately, Zhou Yunfeng was a night raid, and the Blue Dragon Legion was the main battle legion, and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the city guards, but even so, the battle lasted for a full hour before it ended.

If you pay a lot, you will get a big harvest, and in this city alone, Zhou Yunfeng has added more than 7,000 people.

Zhou Yunfeng used the same method as Yuanyang City to constantly subdue the power of the ruling families in the other four cities, and the strength of Zhou Yunfeng's troops was also increasing, and now it was no longer the 30,000 people when he went out on the expedition, but more than 47,000 people.

Coupled with the more than 2,000 people of the Fengyun Mercenary Group, the total number of the entire army has exceeded 50,000.

With such a force, coupled with the strength of the Fengyun Mercenary Group, Zhou Yunfeng was completely confident to fight head-on with an integrated division.

Of course, the more cities captured, not only the soldiers around Zhou Yunfeng will increase, but also one more talented hostage.

Zhou Yunfeng did not lose his words, and when he had spare time, he would also give them advice, of course, not without reservation.

Since five days have passed, the news should have been obtained by someone with a heart, so Zhou Yunfeng no longer had the idea of continuing the sneak attack, so when Zhou Yunfeng left the Yuan Capital City, it was not before dawn, but when it was close to noon, he left the Yuan Capital City with the army.

However, almost two hours after the army left Yundu City, Zhou Yunfeng received a bad news, that is, Yonghe City may have turned back.

In addition to the Yuan Capital City, the other four cities, when Zhou Yunfeng left, he would order the city gate to be closed for five days, but the gate of Yonghe City was opened today, which means that the gate of Yonghe City was only closed for two days.

This phenomenon can only explain one reason, that is, there has been an accident in Yonghe City, and there is only one possibility for a change, that is, the city lord of Yonghe City has betrayed them.

"Third brother, what now?" Zhou Yunlong asked with an ugly face.

Long Hao, Bai Shan, Zhou Yunhu and other generals also looked at Zhou Yunfeng with nervous expressions, they had been worried that something would happen, but now something happened.

"What are you nervous about, I'm just afraid that he won't betray!" Zhou Yunfeng said indifferently.

"What?"

This made everyone confused, they didn't know what Zhou Yunfeng meant, they thought that Zhou Yunfeng was confused.

"There are inherent drawbacks to using this method, but if a nail appears, then things will be much easier!" Zhou Yunfeng explained when he saw that they didn't understand.

"Yun Feng, are you trying to make an example of chickens and monkeys?" Long Hao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

"That's right! I'm just going to kill chickens and monkeys, cut off the luck of the other four city lords, and at the same time set up a template for future city lords!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

At this time, Zhou Yunfeng no longer had a smile on his face, replaced by a murderous aura on his face
