On the Xia Kingdom's official road, more than a thousand cavalry roared past.
Looking at the vaguely visible city in the distance, Xiao Cheng raised his hand slightly and sat down on his horse. The more than a thousand carefully selected elite cavalry behind him also reacted quickly and immediately stopped their horses, showing off their superb riding skills.
A general rode his horse close to Xiao Cheng, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, Fengzhou is ahead of us! Most of the supplies of the Xia Kingdom's southwest frontier army rely on the Yangtze River. And Fengzhou is a transit place. As long as we capture this city, we can cut off its supplies."
Xiao Cheng looked around and looked at the common people and merchants hiding far away on the official road. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go into the city!"
The general who just spoke was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the more than a thousand cavalrymen behind him, looked embarrassed, and lowered his voice:
"Now? Your Majesty, we have more than a thousand people on hand right now..."
Before Xiao Cheng could say anything, another general couldn't help but speak and said:
"Diao Wenxuan, are you confused? We are wearing Xia Jun's armor!"
The general named Diao Wenxuan suddenly remembered it, smiled sheepishly, and said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't react for a moment!"
Xiao Cheng waved his hand, looked at the common people's caravan hiding far away from him on the official road, and said:
"We are marching on the official road with great fanfare. We can't hide our whereabouts at all. If we don't enter the city at this time, it will arouse people's suspicion! While Fengzhou City doesn't react, we will rush in directly and burn down the Xia army's hoards here.
of food and supplies!”
Upon hearing this, several generals immediately raised their hands and shouted in unison:
"yes!"
Having made up their mind, everyone made some repairs, then immediately rode their horses and galloped towards the gate of Fengzhou City.
At the gate of Fengzhou City, the city defenders who had been working for most of the day were still sticking to their posts and performing their duties with great vigor.
The common people and merchants who were interrogated were also very understanding and considerate. They did not need to say anything from the soldiers guarding the city. In addition to paying the poll tax for entering the city, they also consciously handed over the soldiers' tea money.
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city looked at the billowing dust rising in the distance and couldn't help but feel excited. They ran to the city guarding uncle and said excitedly:
"My lord, my lord! Look, it seems like big business is coming."
Uncle Dub squinted his eyes and saw billowing dust and huge formations in the distance.
Fengzhou is an important water transportation center in the northwest, with the Yangtze River connecting directly to the south of the Yangtze River. It is the most prosperous state city in the northwest, and merchants and caravans are common.
Seeing such a big movement at this time, everyone didn't think about going anywhere else. They just thought that someone else's large caravan was coming.
Although most of these caravans have some backgrounds, they are always willing to spend a small amount of money to eliminate troubles such as the city defenders.
In the eyes of these soldiers, this is just big business!
Uncle Dub rolled his eyes, couldn't help but look happy, coughed dryly, and said:
"Oh, these caravans are a little too much! Such a huge smoke and dust will choke other people! No, we have to ask the people for more money as compensation!"
Hearing this, the soldiers on the side suddenly lit up their eyes and said with joy on their faces:
"Your Excellency is so wise!"
Seeing that the big business was coming, the soldiers were unwilling to spend their energy on these ordinary people who could barely squeeze out a few pennies. They let everyone go without saying a word and emptied the city gate.
When Diao Wenxuan saw the city gate being cleared from afar, he suddenly beamed with joy and laughed:
"It is indeed God who helps His Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng's eyes were sharp, and with a thought in his mind, little golden lights shone in the sight that ordinary people could not see, covering the more than a thousand cavalry.
A line of small characters suddenly appeared.
[Exclusive combat method - Breaking the Cauldron, takes effect! It consumes 3,327 taels of silver, lasts for 15 days, and the damage bonus to the enemy is 88 (110*0.8)%]
The solemn and violent atmosphere of the military formation rose up. The sound of the clatter of horse hooves shook people's hearts.
City Gate Dub's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and murmured:
"Something's wrong...I'm going, it's the cavalry!"
These words immediately startled the soldiers around him, and they said in a panic:
"cavalry?"
"The Yun Kingdom cavalry came in?"
"What? The front line was defeated, and Yun Guo invaded?"
"The army of the Yun State has arrived in Fengzhou? Then wouldn't all the counties in the southwest have fallen?"
"Have all the southwest counties fallen? It's over, the Xia Kingdom is going to fall!"
Uncle Dub couldn't help hissing, looking at the panicked subordinates around him who had already spread rumors, he couldn't help but curse:
"Who the hell did you learn from? It's the cavalry, but judging by the armor, it's our Xia Army!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly became quiet, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"Hey, let's just say that a few days ago, we were saying that our Daxia border army had won consecutive battles and almost occupied the northern border of Yun Kingdom!"
"It scared me to death! Hey, why are there still cavalry coming to Fengzhou at this time?"
"Yeah, the superiors didn't tell us in advance!"
Uncle Dub also felt something was wrong. He hesitated for a while and said:
"No, if we let people in like this, the captain has no way to explain, so we need to lock him up first..."
The horse was galloping. It was already very fast. Before Du Bo could order his men to close the city gate, the sound of roaring horse hooves could already be heard.
"Dare I ask this general..." Dub stepped forward and shouted.
But before he could finish speaking, a spear shot straight towards him like a dragon emerging from the sea, making a harsh sound as it pierced through the air.
Dub was shocked, his eyes widened, and just as he was about to reach out and draw his sword to resist, he was pierced by a swift spear in the chest. The force of the spear did not stop, and the spear flew backwards with Dub's body, and directly nailed him.
On top of the city wall behind you.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw that their uncle was dead in an instant, they were stunned for a moment, then screamed, dropped their weapons, and fled in all directions.
Diao Wenxuan took the lead. When he reached the city gate, he stretched out his right hand and casually took off the spear nailed to the city wall.
Iron hooves stamped together, and in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand cavalry rushed into the city.
Fengzhou City was so ruined!
Because everyone was wearing Xia army uniforms, even though more than a thousand cavalry attacked the city at this time, the people in the city did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. They just subconsciously got out of the way, hid aside, and looked at them curiously.
Looking at this group of cavalry who suddenly broke into the city.
Xiao Cheng stopped his horse, looked around the city, pointed at the bustling dock in the north of the city, and said sternly:
"Diao Wenxuan!"
"The end is here!" Diao Wenxuan said with a ferocious face, holding a blood-stained spear.
"Lead two hundred cavalry and burn the dock!"
"Yes! Hahaha, it's fun to fight with His Majesty! I, Diao Wenxuan, have never fought such an easy battle!" Diao Wenxuan laughed evilly, and immediately led two hundred cavalry towards the north dock of the city.
