Chapter 575 - Solidified
Chapter 575 – Solidified
Swallow Mountain was actually a section of the Mount Cang Man. At the north of the Fanggu, the Lian Yun Sect was located on top of the Yan Mountain.
That year, the Army prepared to reorganize the Zaocang to cheer the businesses that lost money every year. Zhuang Feifei was selected from the hundreds of people present. At that time, the Military Department’s Elder Shang Shu was one of the strongest among all the people, and only after seeing did he learn to ignore men and women, and keep Zhuang Feifei here. Zhuang Feifei brought a few apprentices with him to Yan Shan to search for treasures, but in the end, they were robbed by people from Lian Yun Sect.
Then, the Great Master fell in love with her at first sight. He did not even hesitate to make an appointment for the imperial court that she had agreed to.
However, this is not the beginning of a good story. If one didn’t think about it carefully, this was definitely a story of a man with a light fur and a swift horse, and a beautiful female lead. However, this was jusragic story to turn around.
Think about it, if the Great Master had not set his eyes on Zhuang Feifei, what would have been the outcome for Zhuang Feifei? The fellow was killed, but what about her? If one was so beautiful, one could imagine their end.
Later on, the Great Master brought five thousand elite soldiers down the mountain, and these five thousand elite soldiers were directly incorporated into the light cavalry of the Ministry of War. But the people who didn’t go down the mountain? Without the boss’ restraint, the remaining people became more and more violent. Afterwards, they split up. A portion of them left with their weapons and horses. The Second Manager, Shi Xiao, did not control them well. He was noalented person with leadership skills. Other than throwing a plate and throwing a bowl, he did not have the ability to vent his anger.
Those who had led the troops to pursue and split up had been ambushed and suffered heavy casualties.
Shi Xiao vented his anger on the people around him in a fit of rage. At least a dozen villages had been razed to the ground. Actually, was Shi Xiao really that respectful towards the Great Master? If this was the case, he would have long ago followed the Great Master down the mountain.
After the Great Master had left, Lian Yun Zhai’s words would be his. Was it not good to be the local tyrant than to submit to the imperial government? For Shi Xiao, the Great Master’s departure was a golden opportunity. If he had followed his orders, he would have become the big boss a long time ago. However, there was still an expert within the Cloud Stronghold who advised him not to becomead. That kind of person could win over people’s hearts.
A few days ago, when he heard that most of the Fanggu’s troops had left for the Southern Wilderness, Shi Xiao’s thoughts came to life. To the mounted bandits of the Lian Yun Sect, although the Lian Yun Sect which was easy to defend and hard to attack was good, it could not compare to the capital of the great swallow. If he could capture Fanggu in one go, then he would not only want to be a boss, he could also be a king or even be an emperor and play.
In this world, which man didn’t have an emperor’s dream?
From the Lianyun Stronghold to the Fanggu, even if he rode light all day and all night, he would still need more than ten days to get there. The Great Master had only passed away for three days, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they had not really come for the Great Master.
However, there was no lack of people who did not think in this world. When the high-ranking officers of the city gate heard that the people of the Lian Yun Sect came to mourn, and that everyone was wearing white, he actually opened the city gate.
Everything was going according to Shi Xiao’s plan, but he didn’t expect to run into such a killing star.
Chaos soldiers were out of control, and Shi Xiao was the leader of an unknown army. The moment he gave the order to start killing, the bandits immediately rushed out, rushing everywhere.
From one end of the street to the other, An Zheng killed countless people. However, there were also many bandits who rushed into other alleys and even into the homes of the commoners.
An Zheng walked forward and saw that there waouse with an open door. As An Zheng walked in with large strides, a horse bandit suddenly flashed out of the door and chopped towards An Zheng’s shoulder. An Zheng raised his hand and grabbed the long blade just in time. Then, he seized the long blade and hacked down, slicing the horse bandit’s head and anus in half with a pu sound.
This sabre was only of the mortal rank. It had already broken several parts of a person with a single sabre. When An Zheng entered the house, the three bandits did not even turn their heads around, and were still crazily ripping apart the clothes of the mistress of the house. As for the male owner, he had already been chopped into pieces and collapsed in a pool of blood.
An Zheng’s blade swept out, and three heads fell to the ground, blood spraying out, splashing all over the lady’s body. The smooth and naked body was splattered with blood-red, giving off a sorrowful and beautiful feeling. His figure was extremely good. He was struggling desperately when the three heads suddenly flew up, causing her to scream out in fear. When he looked over, he saw a man in black clothing standing in front of his.
An Zheng picked uiece of clothing from the ground with his long blade and turned his head without looking at her: “Put it on, follow behind me.”
The woman did not know why, but she did not think of resisting, and quickly put on her clothes and followed An Zheng out. She had no shoes on her feet and no clothes on her lower body. Fortunately, her top was long enough to cover her ample bottom, but her pair of long, white legs were still full of temptation.
On the street in front, a bandit kicks oveasserby. Just as he was about to stab him with his sword, a powerful force came from behind … An Zheng pushed forward with his neck, and the person’s body flew out like a cannonball, their head heavily smashed into the wall, causing thousands of trees to fall and flowers to bloom on the ground.
“Follow me.”
An Zheng helped the man, who looked a little old, up. The old man grunted and then saw the woman behind An Zheng. He was silent for a moment before he took off his robe and handed it to the girl, who quickly thanked him.
An Zheng started killing from the street once again. Inside the house, there were horse bandits that would go inside the house to kill, and if there were any on the street, they would kill them. Because he was worried that the people who were saved by the horse bandits would once again encounter danger, he got them to follow behind him as he needed to save one more person. Gradually, after An Zheng killed his way through three streets, there were already thousands of people behind him.
At this time, the few well-trained city guards in the Fanggu began to counterattack. ‘s one hundred heavy cavalry soldiers, who were originally guarding the army headquarters and the armory, were the main force in strangling the horse bandits. On the main street, these hundred Tie Liuhuo’s heavy weapons were divided into several rows, and then swept forward. Although it was not as good as charging and killing enemies on the plains, there was still a certain somberness to it as he continued forward like this.
The bandits became more and more dispersed, but the fierceness in their characters couldn’t change. Just like a wolf on the prairie... It was said that the Forest Wolves were the greediest species in the world. Hungry wolves would completely disregard all risks and attack the horse team. Even though they knew that the bow and scimitar in the hands of the herdsmen were not to be trifled with, they would still crazily charge forward to eat the meat.
The people on the prairie said that the wolves would never let go of anything they were biting. He saw with his own eyes the prairie wolf bite the horse’s belly and run wildly in pain, trampling on the wolf’s lower body. Even so, the wolf refused to let go, and in the end the wolf and the horse died together.
This was what these bandits were like at the beginning. Right now, An Zheng had shattered their big dream, leaving them with greed. As long as it was a woman, they would humiliate her.
The procession behind An Zheng grew larger and larger. It looked magnificent, but those were all victims. The more people behind An Zheng, the more vicious the bandits would be.
In the streets and alleys, people were fighting everywhere.
The young men finally realized that they were beginning to pick up anything that could be turned into weapons and fight the horse bandits. They didn’t dare to fight back at the beginning, but they gradually reached a certain scale. They were full of vigor, just habitual fear. They were heroes the moment they picked up their weapons.
The war lasted from noon to evening and the next day.
There must have been other mounted gangsters who had slipped through the net. They had thrown their weapons and horses and taken off their bloodied clothes so that they could blend into the crowd. Those who were still resisting were all beaten to death, this was the second time in the history of the Fanggu that the entire city was sleepless. The last time was just when the and the Eternal State Overlord’s allied forces had almost attacked Pangu.
In a overturned tea shop, An Zheng sat on a chair and stared blankly into space.
He looked around, the streets were filled with corpses, almost ten thousand horse bandits had used up all their resources in Fanggu, he did not know how many people had been harmed. The city’s garrison troops continued their investigation, but there were no longer any mounted gangsters around.
General Wang Ming found An Zheng and turned pale. He was only twenty-five years old, and was the nephew of the Military Chief, Wang Kaitai. Currently, in the Fanggu, Wang Ying held the highest military position, and was responsible for the safety of Fanggu with less than three thousand soldiers. However, of the three thousand defenders, two thousand were recruited as new troops and had not undergone much formal training.
They had been defeated in the chaotic battle yesterday. If not for An Zheng turning the tide alone, the horse bandits might have already killed all of the defending troops. Even if the hundred Tie Liuhuo soldiers were even braver, their numbers were still too small.
“Country …” Prince Fu. ”
Wang Ying looked at An Zheng, his mouth trembling: “This lowly subordinate is guilty.”
“Who was on duty at the city gate yesterday?”
“It’s Du Zhongwu.”
“Where is he?”
“I’ll call him over immediately.”
Not long after, Du Zhongwu who was covered in blood came over, and upon seeing An Zheng, he kneeled down.
He raised his head to look at An Zheng, opened his mouth wide but in the end, no words came out.
“Find a place to commit suicide, I will give you the reputation of dying in battle. But even so, I still want to take your military position, your past honor, and everything that belongs to the military. ”
“Subordinate …” “I know.”
“I’ll take care of your family.”
An Zheng waved his hand, “Send the order down, let everyone in the army know of this matter. If it didn’t hurt, no one would remember. I remember that I gave each of you at least three increments. This money is not for you to enjoy. From the day you join the army, you should understand what the duty of a soldier is. Maybe you think this is unfair? Why do you think you want to protect someone else? Why do you want to fight and kill them? Is that silver really enough to buy your lives? ”
“Not enough, everyone’s life is priceless.”
An Zheng raised his hand and pointed in the distance: “How many people died in the city? Together, they are more important than your life. ”
Du Zhongwu stood up and bowed deeply, “This lowly subordinate is guilty of a death sentence, but this lowly subordinate does not dare to die before the thieves die, so this lowly subordinate requests foeam of people to search through the city. When the bandits are cleared, this lowly subordinate will … This humble servant shall die. ”
An Zheng acknowledged, “Go.”
Then, An Zheng looked at Wang Ziying: “Your servants aren’t right, you don’t know how to control them. After everything has gone wrong, you’re even more confused than your subordinates, meaning that you don’t have the ability to be this general. Take off the armor on yourself, then go to the Southern Wilderness and find your uncle Wang Kaitai and start working as a soldier. ”
“Subordinate …” “As you command!”
Wang Ying wiped away her tears and walked away, not even daring to look back.
An Zheng heaved a long sigh, and when he stood up, he saw the funeral procession with all of them covered in blood. From yesterday to today, the funeral was a failure. The dead did not send them away, but it was unknown just how many people were saved.
