In the dark night, Rivading was as quiet as ever, at the south gate of Rivadine, under the bright bonfire at the head of the city, the new commander of the Tenth Banner, Salon, stood straight at the mouth of the suspension bridge at the south gate, his turbid one-eyed eyes were shining in the dark night, and the bloodthirsty double knives were crossed on his back, like a mountain, standing in the cold wind of late autumn.
The 10th Banner Regiment belongs to the headquarters of the regiment, under the jurisdiction of three combat brigades, the number of 6,000 people, is the first unit equipped with horizontal spears and improved infantry crossbows, is the newly formed Satamor Guards Regiment of the most effective flag regiment, most of them are veterans, because some time ago in the rest, so did not participate in the southern campaign.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the depths of the darkness, and in the firelight, the fat man rode his war horse onto the suspension bridge outside the city
"Legion Commander, Commander of the Tenth Banner Saron reports to you!" As the captain of the old guard, Saron prefers to call the fat man the Legion Commander. The fat man stopped the horse's hooves in front of Salon, and the horsewhip touched Salon's shoulder, and as a salute, he said in a stern voice, "Old friend, don't come unharmed, do you know why I transferred you back to Zhivadin so urgently?"
"Please forgive your subordinates for being stupid, your subordinates really don't understand!" Salon's face was full of doubts, and he was also confused about the order he suddenly received this time, the southern campaign had ended, but his own lord seemed to be still in a combat state, and this time he issued the highest level of red-shirted chicken feathers, which was an emergency order that was only used in wartime
The fat man got off his horse and handed the whip to the guards beside him, and Zoro hurriedly followed, and in the silent night, only the sound of stones rubbing under his feet was heard,
"I received a report from Caesar Solon of the Northern Legion, the noble private army that was driven out of Kyoto, and during this time appeared in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, the will of many nobles in Kyoto is wavering, for these capricious villains, we must clean up, before again, we must first pull out the power of the private army nobles"
"Your Excellency, just command," Salon said with a resolute face, "As long as the Lord gives an order, there will be a sea of swords and guns in front of me, and I will never flinch!"
"Very good! All I want is your words!" the fat man nodded with satisfaction, his voice paused, and his eyes with meaning rolled around Salon's body, looking at Salon's heart, the fat man generally said this, there will be absolutely no good thing, Salon has the feeling of falling into the pit
"I came to you this time to prepare for the Tenth Banner Regiment to be stationed in the Pohulaban area, and I want to completely solve the hidden danger of the private army nobles"
"Pohulaban!" Salon's face was stunned, he felt a chill behind him, and his face was embarrassed, "Isn't it the base camp of the nobles of the private army? With the strength of one of my banner regiments, I am only afraid of ......"
"What's the matter, you Ssalon is also afraid!" the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Yes, you are right! A flag regiment is indeed too few, but if a large army presses it, I am afraid that the nobles of the private army will continue to flee, which will leave a lot of hidden dangers to Samor's overall plan!"
"You take a look at this first!" the fat man took out a map from his bosom and handed it to the puzzled Salon, "This is the map of the Pohulaban sent by the Northern Legion, which marks the location of the four flag regiments of the noble private army, it is a bit too difficult for you to deal with four, but if you only need to deal with two of them, the tenth banner regiment should not have a problem"
"Dealing with two flag regiments?" Salon looked at the map with an ugly face, although his own flag regiment has strong combat effectiveness, but after all, there are only 6,000 people, and one flag regiment of the private army is full of tens of thousands.
6,000 against 20,000, Salon couldn't help but feel bitter for a while, "This battle is really not fought by people!" Salon muttered to himself, "Your Excellency is not playing with me, these four flag regiments are stationed according to the main road, firmly blocking the northern passage in a quadrangular shape, and it will only take half a day to support each other, I am afraid that if I meet the enemy, I will be surrounded by a swarm of reinforcements, not to mention that there is an elite light cavalry regiment inside"
"I will arrange this matter" The fat man's face was slightly angry, so frightened that Ssalon didn't dare to speak, and respectfully took the horsewhip from the guard's hand and handed it to the fat man, "You just need to follow the order to drive the troops to the northern border and wait for the attack order!"
"Remember, this battle is about suddenness, if you want to come back alive, you must be quick with your hands and feet" The fat man turned over his horse, looked at the sullen Salon, and instructed, I will give them a fatal blow when the nobles of the private army think of it the most! Occupy the Pohulaban and open the gate to the north of the kingdom, it's all up to you!"
In the early morning of late autumn, the fog in the city is like a flowing white belt, from three o'clock in the morning, the busy outer city of Zhivading has already been noisy and shaking, the unloading carriages, the arriving merchant ships, bundles of goods are hoisted from the merchant ships, the carriages transporting goods have been lined up at the trading post outside the city, the large trading post outside the city has been expanded three times, still unable to meet the needs of the merchants, many merchants and goods have chosen to spend the night in the small town on the outskirts of Zhivadin
The six stone bridges outside the city were full of crowded carriages, and only on the seventh Samoel military passage, you could occasionally see military horse teams coming and going, but it was the Samoriel military passage, even if it was empty, absolutely no one dared to step on that stone bridge.
The congested road made Jones Nelly and Ronsqui Moll look melancholy, the morning fiery red sun had risen to the clouds, this morning, the fat man promised to give himself a surprise, but his carriage was awkwardly blocked at the city gate, even if it was difficult to move forward, he could only wait for the carriage in front of him to move slowly
Anxiety and frustration clogged Jones Nelly's chest, and her eyes occasionally looked at the slow-moving elders outside
"You have to know how many carriages there are in the morning, I won't stay at Krrysk Manor last night" Ronskiss Moll couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Jones Nelly's frown, even a blind man could see it
"It's nothing! I didn't expect Zhivadine's morning to be so lively" Jones Nelly had an embarrassed smile on her face, although she had been to Zhivading several times, but it was the first time she really encountered Zhivadin's "traffic jam" in the morning, she used to live in the inner city with less crowds, and she never thought the outer city would be so lively,
Jones Nelly was secretly anxious in her heart, but she still said stubbornly, "That dead fat man has always liked to deceive people, and this time letting him wait for us alone in the business alliance can be regarded as punishment for his lies!"
There was a sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, and Jones Nelly saw the two guards that the fat man had left for her yesterday appear on the trade road behind.
"Honorable Miss!" the two guards saluted Jones Nelly with embarrassed faces, their hair wet from the morning dew because they were in such a hurry
"I'm so sorry that the servants of the Chrisk family forgot to wake us up and let the two noble ladies go on the road first!
It turned out that last night, Jones Nelly and Ronskiss More did not rest in Zhivading City, but rested at the Crisker Manor outside the city, and set off from the Criske Manor before dawn in the early morning, because it was too early, so they did not let the servants wake up the two guards, who knew that they would be blocked at the city gate
"It's nothing! I told the servants not to disturb your rest!" Jones Nelly was full of apologies, and the two guards hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, looked at the long queue in the congestion, and knew that they had encountered a traffic jam in Zhivadin, and they were secretly lucky, if they hadn't encountered the traffic jam, and found that there were no guards to follow, the Governor would definitely not spare himself.
"Please come with us!" the guard waved to the coachman, motioning for the carriage to follow him to the empty seventh lane,
Seeing a carriage with an unfamiliar coat of arms break away from the long queue and drive towards the seventh lane of special significance, many merchants showed strange smiles.
This kind of foreign carriage that does not understand the rules can be seen almost every day, every time it is arrogant to go, and then driven back by the Satsuma Castle Guard like a dog, and then honestly re-ranked at the back, which has become a frequent queue of merchants for fun, seeing that the carriage is about to open the seventh lane, and some people even open a gambling plate,
"One to two, I bet that idiot will be kicked out by the city guards if he doesn't even have a minute!"
Everyone likes to watch others eat deflated, especially those who are arrogant and think they are nobler than others
The carriage drove slowly up the stone bridge, and Jones Nelly noticed that there was a quiet outside the window, and curiously gently opened the curtains, startled by the scene outside,
Time seemed to stand still, and countless heads poked out of the hundreds of carriages on the other six passages at the same time, and even the city guards who were inspecting stopped what they were doing, and everyone twisted their heads like this, looking at their carriages stupidly, as if they saw something rare
Jones Nelly felt the terrible silence beside the carriage, the empty stone bridge passed under the wheels, the crowded car queue had disappeared, and there was no carriage in front of her, left and right,
This strange phenomenon made Jones Nelly's scalp tingle, and the carriage suddenly shook, and the wheels drove up the bridge deck, and a stone bridge pier slid past Jones Nelly's eyes, carved with the symbol of the flying Sator Falcon, and on one side of the pier, you could see dry black blood
"The Seventh Passage!" Jones Nelly was shocked by the stone pier in front of her, and suddenly knew why so many people were watching her carriage, this was the Seventh Passage!
There were once foreign nobles who did not understand the rules and were beheaded by the Samori army on this special passage, and the Samori people did not wash the blood from the bridge piers, just to warn others that if they want to take this road with the stone pier as a line, they will have to pay the price of blood!
"Cousin Jones, what's wrong with you? what's going on outside?" looked at Jones Nelly's suddenly white face and asked in surprise,
The carriage stopped suddenly, and before Jones Neely could answer, the voice of the city guards came from outside, "Stop now! This is the Samoel military passage, please show your identification"
Through the curtain of the carriage, Lonskimor saw a group of heavily armed city guards outside, blocking in front of the carriage, dense spears forming a wall of spears, and the two rows of crossbowmen in the back half-crouched to aim, the frightened Lonskimor turned pale and cried
"What's going on, how did we get here!"
"This is the carriage of the Governor's Palace" The guards who led the way had cold eyes, looked at the captain of the city guard who was waiting for him, took out the guard token from his arms and handed it over, "This is the collaborator of the adults, it is the guest of honor of Samori, you get out of the way immediately! If something goes wrong, be careful of the orders of the Governor's Palace!"
"Governor's Palace!" The captain of the city guard felt his scalp tingle, and a cold sweat broke out, only to realize that the two people in front of him were obviously Satamo's guards, although they were dressed differently, but the sword representing the guards hung on his waist, and the fierce blood on his body could be felt even from a meter away
There is only one person who can enter and exit the seventh passage in Samour, and that is the Governor, and even the head of the flag is not qualified to ride through the seventh passage in a carriage, is it ...... The sweat on the head of the city guard only fell, but his body was as cold as ice, and his face was hesitant and he hurriedly waved to the city guards behind him
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in the way of adults!"
The city guards hurriedly got out of the way and respectfully let the carriage pass.
"Didn't you, did you!" everyone outside the city craned their necks and waited to see the joke, one by one, watching the carriage in disbelief, slowly disappearing into the city lanes of the seventh passage
