328: Righteous Status
The county guard in the clouds, it's a little strange...... Xiao Sheng secretly felt strange in his heart, and at the same time he was even more vigilant?.?? He shook his head and said, "Don't say that this king is here for the time being. It's up to you to come forward first, and see what the county guard in the clouds means. ”
Yan Fulong nodded and said, "The subordinates obey the order." He turned to face the city and shouted loudly: "The person who came is the county guard of Yunzhong County? Why don't you see the banner? Now is an extraordinary time, in order to beware of the fierce ancient thieves coming to defraud the city, please forgive me for not opening the door." If the county keeper has anything to say, please say it under the castle. ”
When he heard that Wuchuan County refused to open the door, the messenger was furious and shouted at the city gate: "Oh! Otherwise, you can't afford to offend the county keeper. ”
Yan Fulong couldn't bear the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I am Yan Fulong, the county governor of Wuchuan County. Go back and tell the county keeper that he really can't open the door at will. Please forgive me for offending Lord Gunjo. After all the fierce ancient barbarians were wiped out, Zai personally came to the door to ask for guilt. The county guard wants to kill or chop, and there is no complaint below. ”
The messenger was so angry that he waved his horsewhip and shouted: "How can this be true, how can it be justified! A little county lieutenant is so rude? On the contrary, it is really the opposite! Looking at your face, most of you have already colluded with the fierce ancient thieves, and you want to surrender and sacrifice the city, yes or no? The hateful spy will send you to prison and punish you when the county guard arrives, and the whole family will be beheaded."
Seeing that the other party couldn't help but say anything, he kept splashing buckets of dirty water. Even if Yan Fulong's temper was good, he couldn't help it. He opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, snatched a stiff bow from a soldier next to him, and opened the string and arrow.
I only heard a small and urgent sound of "sigh~", and the wolf's tooth arrow, worthy of its name, went like a meteor, shooting through the sky. It was so fast that the arrows and the air rubbed against each other, creating a blazing heat. Not only was the entire arrow wrapped in a large mass of flames, but the stainless steel arrow was burned red. `
In the midst of the lightning, the Wolf's Tooth Rocket was impartial, grazing the nose of the courier's horse and shooting it into the dirt. The whole long arrow sank straight into the ground, leaving no trace. The horses were startled and ached, and immediately screamed and neighed, and stood with their hooves raised.
The messenger was unguarded and was thrown off his horse on the spot. But his feet were still hanging in the stirrups, and he couldn't untie them suddenly. He tried to shake off the stirrup, but the horse did not stop, and dragged the messenger to the ground, and ran away to the middle of the group of men and horses in the distance.
The messenger was terrified, dancing, screaming, and struggling, and comical in his might. Above the city, all the soldiers of the Wuchuan New Army couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw this scene, mocking this clown to their heart's content.
Not long after, the large group of people and horses had already hugged the ground and came to the county seat of Wuchuan. Xiao Sheng put on a soldier's coat and mingled in the crowd, looking down and watching.
I saw this large group of people, about 1,000 people. One by one, the helmets were armoured, and the swords and guns were unsheathed. In addition, their crotch mounts have two horns, which is a rare dragon horse in the world. At first glance, it is really majestic and murderous!
This kind of dragon horse is a specialty of the Zulong Mountains on the northwest border of Dahao. Legend has it that the heavenly dragon came to the mortal world and was born from the union with the mortal horse. This kind of horse can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night. Climbing mountains and wading through water, such as walking on flat ground. Even if he runs for three days and three nights without rest, he is still calm and relaxed. At the same time, he does not eat forage, and eats raw meat, which is infinitely powerful. Even if it is a lion and a tiger, it can't beat it, and it is definitely the best among horses.
A dragon horse is already worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, and it will always have a price. Even the dignitaries and nobles in Luojing City may not be able to have a dragon horse like this. If you want to talk about the cavalry of the formation, in the whole world, there is only the chariot and cavalry general He Qianli of the Great Wall, and there is a dragon horse cavalry of about 800 people under his command.
He Qianli regarded this cavalry as if he were his own treasure. ?.?? 'C?o?m is not at the moment of life and death of the army, and will never let the dragoon cavalry fight. In the past, the defenders of the Rock Great Wall fought several times with the Menggu Kingdom, as long as the dragon horse cavalry was dispatched at the critical moment, it would definitely be victorious, and there was no exception.
But at this moment, a group of thousands of dragoon cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him? What is going on? The county guard of Yunzhong County, although he is also a member of the party. But how could he have so much money to afford a thousand dragon horses?
Xiao Sheng was puzzled, and suddenly, he saw the large group of dragon horse cavalry, and at the same time divided to the left and right, making way for a wide road. More than a dozen personal guards, including the messenger just now, surrounded by a civil official with a face like a crown of jade and a bookish atmosphere, walked out of it.
The messenger had a bruised nose and swollen face, and his eyes flickered with hatred. He said loudly: "Lord County Shou, this is the county seat of Wuchuan County. Yan Fulong, the county lieutenant in the city, colluded with the fierce ancient thieves and wanted to commit treason, which is really a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven. I beg your lord to give an order, besiege the city and catch the thief, and make an example of the canonical punishment. ”
This messenger actually opened his mouth, slandered and slandered in front of him, and indiscriminately charged Yan Fulong. When the many Wuchuan new troops on the city wall heard this, they were all furious. It's just that after a period of strict training, all the soldiers have understood the truth of military orders, so they don't dare to shout and shout. But a strong anger had already sprung up in the city, thick as substance.
Yan Fulong also held back his anger and saluted the city with his fists clenched. Lang said loudly: "The person who came is the county guard of Yunzhong County, Lord Yun is dead, and Yan Fulong, the county lieutenant of Xiawuchuan County, is in armor, and he can't pay full salutes, please forgive me." In the lower official position, he had no chance to meet with Master Yun in the past. Therefore, if you don't know Zunyan, please forgive your sins. Please show your seal to prove your identity. ”
The civil official was expressionless and waved his hand casually. Immediately, one of the soldiers stepped forward and carefully took out a package from his bosom. Once opened, hold it high.
The fourteen princes on the city wall, together with Yan Fulong, looked at it carefully. I saw that inside the package, it turned out to be an official seal the size of a fist, carved from jade. On the button is a wild goose carved like a head.
The Dahao Dynasty stipulated that the official seals of civil and military officials were each engraved with an image to distinguish them. The hierarchy is strict and cannot be transgressed.
Birds used by civil officials include first-grade cranes, second-grade golden pheasants, third-grade peacocks, fourth-grade geese, fifth-grade white pheasants, sixth-grade herons, seventh-grade mandarin ducks, eighth-grade yellow orioles, and ninth-grade quails.
The generals use beasts, the first unicorn, the second lion, the third tiger, the fourth leopard, the fifth bear, the sixth biao, the seventh rhino, the eighth ox, and the ninth horse.
The county guard is a civil official, and he belongs to the party of the four products. Therefore, his official seal is carved with wild geese. As a prince, Xiao Sheng is naturally accustomed to seeing official seals at all levels. At this moment, he knew that this official seal was genuine, and there was no counterfeit at all. In other words, this civil official is indeed the county guard of Yunzhong County, Yun died.
Yan Fulong turned his head to look at the Fourteenth Prince, and saw that the Fourteenth Prince nodded slightly, and there was no doubt in his heart. He bowed and said loudly, "See Lord Commander." I don't know what the adults are here for?"
The county guard was killed, and waved his hand casually. The pro-soldiers immediately put away the official seal again and retreated. The county code said slowly: "The fierce ancient thieves invaded, and the two counties of Suigui and Jiuye were breached, and the people of Li were miserable and in dire straits. As an official of the imperial court and shepherding one side, how can this official be afraid to avoid retreating in this autumn of critical survival? For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in northern Xinjiang, he has no choice but to stand up. ”
A high-sounding official tone, Yan Fulong was inexplicable to hear. had no choice but to arch his hand again, and also said in an official tone: "The adults are full of patriotism and love for the people, do not avoid hardships and dangers, and come forward." The lowly position is very respectful. ”
Jun Shouyun nodded and said lightly: "If the force is divided, it will be scattered, and if the force is gathered, it will be strong." Although there are many soldiers and horses in our northern Xinjiang, they are doing their own thing, like a plate of scattered sand. If you continue like this, you will only be defeated by the Fierce Ancient Thieves.
This official had no choice but to temporarily take charge of the overall situation, gather all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in northern Xinjiang, and then reorganize and prepare to fight to the death with the fierce ancient thieves. Therefore, Lieutenant Yan, you immediately open the city gate, count all the soldiers and horses in the city, and offer them together with the money and food books of the whole city. ”
"Eh, do you want to collect soldiers, horses, money and grain from Wuchuan County?" Suddenly hearing these words, Yan Fulong subconsciously resisted.
In the whole northern Xinjiang, the three counties of Suigui, Jiuye and Yunzhong are the richest, and the county guards all belong to the four grades. And the rest of the counties, because of the relatively barren, the county guard only has five grades. In other words, now this Yunzhong County Shouyun is the person with the highest official position in Northern Xinjiang. It stands to reason that he is indeed qualified to gather soldiers and horses from all over the country and incorporate them into the unified dispatch under his command.
However, Yan Fulong had already entered the Fourteenth Prince's Sect. Psychologically, he only identified himself as a retainer of the Fourteenth Prince. And the 10,000 elite soldiers newly trained in Wuchuan County are also equivalent to the palace guards of the fourteenth prince.
Not to mention, in order to train this pro-army, the Fourteenth Prince has taken out a large number of precious pills, as well as providing cultivation methods and battle array martial arts. All of them add up to an astronomical amount of money. This county keeper casually ran over and said a few official words, and he wanted to take the army away? It's a joke!
Yan Fulong's eyebrows were furrowed, and without thinking, he immediately refused: "Lord County Guard, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders." Wuchuan County is located on the front line, and the fierce ancient thieves may be killed at any time. Another 200,000 refugees from all over the city gathered. If we don't have soldiers and horses, we can't resist it at all, then wouldn't it be a man-made sword, and I would be a fish? ”
Yun Jun Shou showed a hint of annoyance between his eyebrows. Shouted: "Words of ignorance. This officer took over the soldiers and horses in your city, and did not abandon you. The 200,000 people in your city can move to Yunzhong County, and they will be sheltered. Besides, a few days ago, there was an explosion in Suigui County, and the fierce ancient thieves suffered heavy casualties, so how could they have the ability to kill Wuchuan County? ”
There was a pause. Yun Junshou spoke sharply and scolded: "Supporting the army and respecting oneself and resisting the official is a capital crime! Yan Fulong immediately opened the city to offer soldiers and horses, grain and grass. Otherwise, this official will punish you for a crime of rebellion and exterminate the Nine Clans! At that time, even if you go all over the Dahao Dynasty, and even if the founding ancestor is resurrected, he will still not be able to save you. ”
