Chapter 227: Searching Through the Imperial Capital (Part II)
The six armies of the Son of Heaven have 12,500 men per army, one general, every five people are a small team, a captain, 20 squads are a large team, 100 commanders, and 10 teams are battalions and 1,000 commanders. The remaining 500 people are scouts, specially used to spy on the military and deliver news.
On the top of Huishan, the 12,500-strong Tianwei army was arranged in an inexplicable battle formation, neatly aligned, all wearing armor and helmets, and wielding swords. The jet-black metallic glow was incomparably symmetrical with the surrounding snow, as if the entire world was split in two.
"See the general!"
When Yu Qingwu stepped on Huishan, 12,500 people knelt on one knee in unison, shouting and shouting overwhelmingly, as if they were about to collapse the sky, and the sound spread out, so that the snow on the branches of the surrounding trees trembled, and then fell one after another. The big bull who was following Yu Qingwu was unexpectedly shouted like this, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.
This is the Tianwei Army, one of the most elite troops of the Great Xia Dynasty! The momentum is like a rainbow and sonorous like iron, and it is not at all comparable to those defenders in other cities, and even the Xuzhou Army, which was stationed in Guangqi at the beginning, is slightly inferior to the Tianwei Army.
Being in the school field, there are all the hot-blooded warriors who are kneeling on the ground, and the blood in Yu Qingwu's heart is also ignited, and there is only a feeling of galloping blood and wanting to roar to the sky. He glanced around at the camp tents and training props around him, then took a step forward, glanced at the thirteen people kneeling in the front, waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
"General Xie!" everyone thanked again in unison, and then got up neatly, without a trace of delay.
Yu Qingwu nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Niangniang was assassinated by an assassin this morning, and His Majesty sent a special Tianwei army to arrest the assassin in the whole city, have you ever prepared?"
Wow!
Everyone stood up like javelins, and said in unison amid the sound of armor fighting: "Please give the order of the general!"
Hearing the words of the Tianwei Army, Yu Qingwu was stunned, he originally thought that these warriors who had made great achievements in battle would not listen to the words of his little-known hairy boy, and he might not disobey the yang and the yin, and even openly refuse his orders. In order to prevent this from happening, he even went back to the palace to put on his armor and bring the general seal. Who knew that his worries were unnecessary, and these people did not have the slightest intention of disobedience.
In fact, Yu Qingwu missed one point: the so-called soldiers, especially those who have received strict and systematic training, obey the orders of the generals is their duty. The Tianwei Army is known as one of the most elite troops, and they are even more likely to obey the general's orders. Perhaps at the beginning, when they learned that the general of the Tianwei Army appointed by His Majesty was a hairy boy who was less than twenty years old, they would feel a little uncomfortable, but they would not say that they disobeyed the king's order or the general's order.
Later, Yu Qingwu showed his skills in Guangqi Lake, and when the matter of destroying the carp essence that caused trouble in Guangqi Lake spread throughout the imperial capital, their contempt for Yu Qingwu in their hearts disappeared invisibly. They are soldiers, and the most admired by soldiers is the strong, Yu Qingwu can kill demons, and he has also learned the Tao in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and he is completely qualified to be their general!
Although he wondered why the Tianwei Army accepted himself so easily, it was obviously not the time to think about this at this time, Yu Qingwu immediately said in a loud voice: "The first task of my Tianwei Army this time is not to take people, but to find things. Look for a tent with a built-in desk with a straw man with a lamp on each of his head and feet, and this tent is most likely hidden in the courtyard of a house, or even an underground secret room. ”
"The Tianwei army has a total of 12,500 people, and it is scattered in a unit of 100 people, if you find a similar camp, notify this king as soon as possible, do you hear clearly?"
"The last general and others will obey the general's order!" everyone responded in unison, although they didn't quite understand why Yu Qingwu would give such an order, but no one asked for the specific reason.
Seeing that there was no problem with everyone, Yu Qingwu immediately ordered: "Pass on the king's order, the whole army will open the southern city, search from house to house, and you can't let go of any place!" After speaking, he took the lead and went down to Huishan and went straight to the south gate.
"Yes!" all the soldiers replied in unison, and followed with uniform steps.
The big bull who followed Yu Qingwu looked back at the huge crowd behind him from time to time, and said in a low voice: "Master and son, these people are so arrogant, I feel that with them, even if there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops in front, they have to give way!"
Yu Qingwu smiled and didn't say anything. He heard that the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven was a forbidden army trained by Taishi Tao, and before defending the imperial capital, he followed Taishi to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. Who was Yan Tao? That was the Taishi of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he had never been defeated since he led the army out on the march, so he was revered by the world as the 'god of war', and how could the forbidden army he trained single-handedly be able to compete with ordinary troops? Some people said that no matter which army the six armies of the Son of Heaven were, they could defeat 100,000 troops, and if the six armies were sent out together, they could sweep through any clan!
Perhaps this statement is a bit exaggerated, but on the other hand, it also shows the strength of the six armies of the Son of Heaven.
After the Wei army entered the south city gate that day, there was no longer the prosperity of the past in the south city, in fact, not only the south city, but also the rest of the east city, the west city, and the north city, after Xia Luqi issued an order to arrest the assassins in the whole city, whether it was ordinary people or the families of officials, eight or nine times out of ten they returned home, first checked at home to see if there were any unidentified people hidden, so as not to be found when the Tianwei army came to search, then there was no way to tell.
The number of people on the street has dropped sharply, which also saves some effort in the investigation, Yu Qingwu immediately raised his hand and waved, and said: "Every 100 people are scattered in a team, and they will search from house to house! Remember, don't destroy the people's homes, lest you damage the prestige of Your Majesty!"
"Yes!"
The twelve centurions nodded in response, and then each assigned a task to the centurions under them, and the centurions led the team to take charge of the search. In a short time, a full 12,500 men were divided into 125 teams, and each of them spread out and searched each household.
When everyone dispersed, knocked on the door of each house, and entered it to search, Yu Qingwu and Da Niu did not rest, and entered one house to search. After a stick of incense, the two of them, who had searched fruitlessly, left the house and happened to run into a patrol of Weilong troops. When those people saw that it was Yu Qingwu, they immediately saluted.
One of the leaders clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Your Highness, the search task is heavy, and there are not too many pedestrians in the city today, so why don't you join the ranks of the Tianwei Army to search with many colleagues!"
The imperial capital is too big, just a southern city, even if the Tianwei army is all dispatched, don't think about searching it in a day or two. The centurion of the Weilong Army was also kind, after all, there were not too many pedestrians in the city at this time, and their patrol task was not so heavy.
Yu Qingwu shook his head and said: "The Weilong Army has the task of the Weilong Army, it is better not to be mixed with the Tianwei Army, while the Tianwei Army is searching from house to house, if the assassin runs to the street, it will have to rely on the Weilong Army!"
"This ......" The centurion of the Weilong Army hesitated, and finally nodded and said: "In this case, the last general and the others will retire first!" After speaking, he waved his hand to the people behind him, and the group immediately continued to cruise.
At this time, a young man in a python robe walked on the empty street, he walked with great momentum, and at a glance he knew that Lu Dao had supreme cultivation. Hearing the footsteps, Yu Qingwu followed the prestige, who was the python-robed young man who came towards him not Qiu Lin?
"Yo, I said that there are few people on the streets of Nancheng, it turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Fuyao led the Tianwei Army to search for assassins in the whole city!" Qiu Lin, who approached, smiled strangely, looked around and said, "I wanted to come out and have some fun, but I didn't expect it to be all in vain." ”
Yu Qingwu clasped his arms in his hands, looked at Qiu Lin with half-squinted eyes, and said: "Most of the people in the southern city go back to their homes to check if there is anything wrong with them, although the Qiu Mansion is in the northern city, but in a few days, the king of Japan will search the northern city, doesn't General Qiu go back to the mansion to check it first?"
"Hey!" Qiu Lin chuckled, looked at Yu Qingwu and said, "Your Highness is too worried, although the Qiu Mansion is not a Longtan Tiger's Den, it is not something that a young person can enter." If that assassin really dares to hide in the enemy's mansion, without working for His Highness, it will be enough for his subordinates to capture him in front of His Majesty!"
"General Qiu's words should not be too full, it is better to go back to the mansion to check first, lest there is something really unusual in the Qiu Mansion when the time comes, and the sin is that of the Nine Clans!" Yu Qingwu glanced at the Qilin with deep meaning, and then walked away with the silent bull.
Seeing Yu Qingwu and Da Niu leaving, Qiu Lin's eyes burned, and he recalled Yu Qingwu's words in his heart, and said with an evil smile: "Boy, aren't you in charge of arresting the assassin this time? I want to see if the assassin is hiding in your mansion, Xia Lugui's elm head will still value you so much!"
After the words fell, he swaggered towards the northern city.
When night fell, the Tianwei Army, which had searched for five hours in a row, only searched one-third of Nancheng, and it would take a whole day to search Nancheng at this speed.
The winter night was exceptionally dark, and today's search of the whole city by the mighty army did not make the city as bright as in the past, and the people went to bed early. In the silent street, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, and he was like a ghost, shuttling between the alleys and leaping on the rooftops, landing silently.
After a while, the man in black stopped in front of a big mansion, which was magnificent, and a pair of large stone lions in front of the door were lifelike and mighty. In the quiet night, the door of the house was wide open, and the man in black moved his eyes up to the door plaque, only to see the four gilded characters of the book friend 'Fuyao Wangfu' on the plaque.
Seeing this, the man in black smiled in a low voice, shook his body, and turned into an afterimage over the high wall and entered this well-known mansion in the imperial capital.
Yu Qingwu, who led the search of the Tianwei Army, did not know that a mysterious man in black broke into his mansion at this time, and with the progress of the search, after dawn, he would search the vicinity of the Fuyao Palace, and he was appointed by Xia Luqi as the person in charge of the search of the whole city, and he must set an example and search his mansion......
