Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters break the city(1/2)
There are only tens of thousands of old, weak and disabled soldiers in Yanyang County, and Mo Zizai went there in person. It is hard to say whether the soldiers dared to rebel with Wang Qianjun, so Mo Zizai was more than enough to bring only two thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry.
After leaving Yang Yanzhang behind, Mo Zizai took Tang Weilu, Zhou Qi, and two thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry soldiers to the nearby city for a brief rest for a day, and then continued to rush to Yanyang County immediately.
The Red Blood Dragon Test in the Bone Forging Realm is not only fast, but also has amazing durability. The Guard Army marched for several days and was completed in just over a day with the full strength of the Red Blood Dragon Test.
The first county entering Yanyang County from the Great Zhou Dynasty was Funing County. The guards of this county saw a large group of cavalry coming from a distance, and did not dare to neglect them. They hurriedly closed the city gate and invited the county magistrate Han Yichao to the city wall.
"What's the situation? Where did the cavalry come from in Yanyang County?"
Han Yichao was slightly frightened. Before, Xiao Yanbing's army had gone out of Funing County, so he knew the current situation in Yanyang County, so he was a little worried at this time that the cavalry that was present would not be the army of the court.
But it shouldn't be true. Xiao Yanbing's army had just set off. Even if the court wanted to liquidate, it should defeat Xiao Yanbing's army first, and shouldn't come to Yanyang County first.
Just when Han Yichao was worried, Mo Zizai had already arrived under the city wall with the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry.
After the army stopped, Zhou Qi jumped out of the horse, stood in front of the formation, shook his hand suddenly at the top of the city. A token seemed to be a sharp arrow, and was nailed to the top of the city.
"The King of Zizai is here, so he can't open the city gate."
Hearing Yang Yanzhang's words, Han Yichao's heart suddenly stopped. He was really afraid of anything he was. Unexpectedly, it was really a large army of the court, and Mo Zizai personally led it. I heard that this prince was not a good man.
After the masters in the county government deducted the token from the top of the city, Han Yichao trembled and took the token over. After careful confirmation, he found that it was indeed the identity token of King Zizai, and he felt like he was lost.
"What should I do...What should I do..."
Han Yichao kept saying this, his body trembled like a sieve. As an official of Wang Qianjun, Wang Qianjun now traitorized the country and surrendered to the enemy, and he also had some contact with the enemy generals, and even entertained Xiao Yanbing. If this matter is pursued, it would be too small to say that he was afraid of death, and he would lose his head. To put it too big, he would be to surrender to the enemy and sell the country, and his whole family would have to lose his head.
And now, Mo Zizai, who is famous for his cruelty, can he still have it when he settles it?
Thinking of the scene where his whole family was beheaded, Han Yichao, the seventh-rank magistrate, was almost scared to pee.
Until the sound of Yang Yanzhang urging him again came from the city, he could have come back to his senses a little and said tremblingly: "Yi...Yishan, you...you...you...you...you can open it for the prince..."
"Sir, don't worry."
Han Yichao's master Zhu Yishan looked at Han Yichao who was in vain and planned to let him open the city gate for Mo Zizai, and quickly spoke up and said, "I think this city gate... cannot be opened!"
"Hmm? Ah!"
Han Yichao was stunned at first, and when he reacted, he exclaimed, "Then the real King of Freedom is here. Are you impatient when you don't let him in?"
"The real King of Freedom? Who knows?"
Zhu Yishan sneered, took Mo Zizai's identity token from Han Yichao's hand, and put it into his arms. Then he spread his empty hands and said, "Now, there are only a few people in this city who can tell the authenticity of this token."
"Now, the Lord said that this token is fake, and the King of Freedom below is fake."
"How can this be done?"
Han Yichao said in a panic: "I deliberately deny the identity of the prince. This is to kill the nine clans!"
"Sir, do you have any choice?"
Zhu Yishan seemed particularly calm at this time. He looked at Han Yichao and said lightly: "The Lord is deeply involved with the county magistrate. Now the county magistrate is treason and surrenders to the enemy. In addition, the Lord has provided food and supplies to the enemy some time ago. Do you think even if you let King Zizai enter the city, he will let you go?"
After saying this, Han Yichao's face was obviously moved, while Zhu Yishan struck while the iron was hot, saying, "Sir, since you already have a choice, don't be swaying."
"The army of Zheng State went straight to the capital, which was definitely not so easy to solve. This small cavalry is likely to be the remaining soldiers who were defeated under General Xiao Yanbing. They have nowhere to go, so they came to Yanyang County. Lord must not be confused at this time!"
"We have a city wall to rely on. If we don't let them enter the city, we will not be able to do anything to rely on the cavalry. At most, we will leave in a few days. After they leave, it will not be too late for us to wait and see what will happen."
"Even if Xiao Yanbing's army is really defeated by then, it will be better if the lord takes his family to escape than if he is killed by Mo Zizai when he opens the city gate now?"
"this……"
After Zhu Yishan said this, Han Yichao was instantly moved. After thinking carefully for a while, he felt that what Zhu Yishan said was very reasonable. Anyway, he would die if he opened the city gate. If that was the case, it would be better to fight.
At that moment, he made a decision immediately and said, "Let the soldiers be careful, the thieves in the city are bold and dare to pretend to be the King of Freedom. Never let them in."
"Sir, wise."
Zhu Yishan heard Han Yichao say this, and a smile appeared on his face. After slapping Han Yichao's flattery, he took two steps forward, came to the trunk, and shouted to Mo Zizai and others below: "You are so brave, you dare to use a fake token to pretend to be the identity of King Zizai."
"I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise when the imperial army arrives, you will definitely not be buried."
Hearing this, Zhou Qi's face darkened and shouted fiercely, "So brave!"
"You dare to deny your identity as a prince. I think you are tired of living!"
"Okay, Zhou Qi, come back."
Mo Zizai called back Zhou Qi with anger. He looked at the officials on the city, and he didn't have much surprise about their choice.
After all, I am notorious and am afraid that I will kill them after entering the city, so I dare not open the city gate, which is understandable.
But they really thought that if they didn't open the city gate, they wouldn't be able to enter the city themselves.
The city walls of Funing County were built just to prevent bandits, so they were only four or five meters high in total. As for the city gate, it was even simpler. They were made of hard wood like Mo Zizai's ancient life.
There is no problem with being on guard against ordinary troops, but being on guard against Red Flame Dragon Cavalry is simply a dream.
Looking at the tall city gate, Mo Zizai smiled on his face. Yang Yanzhang had been obsessed with it before, and wanted to break the city gate alone, but he didn't encounter any chance. Unexpectedly, he was not here this time, but he caught up.
"Red Flame Dragon Knight, Arrange, Charge!"
Mo Zizai shouted loudly, the Red Flame Dragon Rider was lined up behind him. After the formation was set, he took the Red Flame Dragon Rider and rushed directly towards the gate of Funing City.
"Are they crazy?"
Seeing Mo Zizai and his friends charge towards the city gate, Han Yichao and Zhu Yishan, who were standing on the city wall, were stunned. Even if they had iron armor behind them, they were still physical bodies under the iron armor. They just crashed into the city gate. Could it be that they were going to commit suicide?
Just as they were wondering whether to let the soldiers on the city wall shoot arrows to stop them, they heard a deafening sound suddenly sounding under the city wall. They felt a faint swaying above the city head.
“What’s the situation?”
Just when this idea arose in the minds of the two of them, Mo Zizai, who was in the city gate, also had this idea blank look on his face. Didn’t the script he had agreed to break the city gate by himself? Why didn’t the city gate break before he could do it?
"Kill!"
A sweet shout came from Mo Zizai. Tang Weilu was waving the giant sword in her hand excitedly and rushed forward, while shouting for killing her mouth.
Just now, when she saw Mo Zizai about to smash the city gate, she felt itchy for a moment and couldn't help but slap it. As a result, the city gate, which was more than ten centimeters thick, was slashed into pieces by her knife.
"Why are you still robbing me of my life..."
Looking at Tang Weilu who was rushing to the front, Mo Zizai followed her with some disappointment. No need to ask, the one who broke the city gate in front of him just now must be Tang Weilu who didn't run away.
Thinking of this, Mo Zizai gently slapped Chi Yan under his crotch and complained: "Idiot, don't you run very fast? Why are you overtaken by Xiao Lu?"
"Well~"
Chi Yan sniffed disdainfully. You stupid bipedal beast knows nothing. Your wife is riding under her butt. Can I surpass it?
"Forget it, just be happy."
Mo Zizai didn't understand Chi Yan's beast words, so he gently activated Chi Yan and followed Tang Weilu with the Chi Yan Dragon Knight to avoid any accidents.
Funing County was not a big county, with only one or two thousand soldiers stationed. After the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry broke the city gate like a god descending to earth, no one dared to attack the soldiers in the city, no matter how the county magistrate Han Yichao urged and threatened them.
Seeing that no one dared to attack them, Mo Zizai, with more than a hundred soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, got off the horse and stepped onto the city wall.
After Mo Zizai stepped onto the city wall, the soldiers, Han Yichao and Zhu Yishan all fell to the ground in an instant.
"Who is in charge here?"
Mo Zizai didn't let them get up, but asked with interest: "Also, who said just now that my token was fake?"
"Come on, stand up and tell me where is the fake?"
"The king... the prince forgives his crime."
Han Yichao was really scared this time, and a pile of water had already appeared on the hem of the official uniform. He replied in a trembling voice: "Han Yichao, the magistrate of Xiaguan Funing County, has seen King Zizai."
"Oh, you are the county magistrate."
Mo Zizai nodded with some clarity, and then said, "Just now, you said that my token is fake, right? I have used this token for several years. This is the first time someone said it is fake. Lord Han is really different."
"Come on, tell me, where is it fake? I can't tell you, I will kill you!"
"Prince, please spare me!!!"
Hearing Mo Zizai's murderous words, Han Yichao kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "The servant was obsessed with the wits for a while and did not recognize the prince's token. I hope the prince will spare his life!"
Han Yichao's voice was distorted. After kowtowing for a while, he seemed to remember something. He quickly stood up and pointed at Zhu Yishan and said, "Your Majesty, it's him, he bewitched the officials and asked them to say that the prince's token is fake."
"It's all done by him, it has nothing to do with the officials!"
Zhu Yishan, who was pointed at by Han Yichao, no longer had the calmness he had just now, and quickly refused: "Prince, Caomin is just a master. This matter has nothing to do with me, he did it, it has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing the two of them shirk each other, Mo Zizai felt a little funny and was too lazy to intimidate the two little people anymore. He shook his head and said, "Drag them both down and chop them down."
"Prince, please..."
The two of them wanted to beg for mercy, so the four soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry walked over, pinched their throats, dragged them away, and then executed them directly.
After solving these two people, Mo Zizai learned about the situation in Funing County and then cut off the county magistrate, leaving a county magistrate who was not very involved with the county magistrate, who was in charge of the overall situation in Funing County, waiting for the court to send a new county magistrate to come.
From breaking the city to appointing an acting county magistrate, Mo Zizai was useless for an hour. After dealing with Funing County, he did not delay at all and rushed to Antong City, the county city of Yanyang County. After all, if it was too late, when the county magistrate Wang Qianjun received the news, he might have fled for fear of punishment.
As the culprit who caused the fall of Yanyang County so quickly, Mo Zizai obviously could not let him go.
Except for Funing County, Mo Zizai did not enter any city again. When he encountered the city, he passed by directly around the city. In just over an hour, he had already taken the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to the county city of Yanyang County, Antong City.
"Oh, this is the news."
