Yanzhou.
This is a city in the northeast of Xia Kingdom, and it is also the most prosperous state in the northeast of Xia Kingdom.
Because it is rich in green salt, more than 50% of the table salt in Xia Kingdom is produced here, hence the name "Salt State".
Yanzhou not only produces salt, but also produces horses, because salt is an essential element for horses.
There are salt and horses, one is daily necessities and the other is a means of travel. It is difficult to imagine such a place not being prosperous. This was the capital of Huangzhou in those days.
If this place wasn't too close to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a great possibility that Xia's capital would be located here.
Yanzhou City is built on a vast grassland. The city wall is tall and thick, like a giant steel beast crawling there, ancient and vicissitudes of life.
To the west of the city is the salt lake rich in green salt. The lake water meanders to the west and surrounds most of Yanzhou City.
Four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
The red sun has turned to the west, and the dazzling sunlight embellishes this centuries-old ancient city like a shining golden gem on the grassland.
The city gate is wide open, and pedestrians are coming in and out. They are all businessmen traveling north and south.
Either driving a group of horses, or using large carts to drag Qingyan, there was an endless stream.
Suddenly, a large group of people appeared from the east.
All of them were dressed in black, with a piece of black cloth covering their faces, like Yin soldiers coming out of hell.
"Brothers, ahead is Yanzhou City, which is also my Yancheng County of Great Zhou. It has been lost to the enemy for a hundred years, and the people of Great Zhou inside have almost forgotten their surnames. Therefore, after entering, those who dare to resist, Kill without mercy!"
It was Wang Cheng who spoke. He was also dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face. He continued: "But please listen to me clearly. Our purpose this time is not to kill people. After entering the city, give me Set the whole house on fire and make sure everyone within a hundred miles can see the fire!"
His voice was not loud, but with the help of telekinesis, his voice reached everyone's ears clearly.
"yes!"
Seeing that everyone understood the military intention this time, Wang Cheng stopped talking nonsense and shouted "kill"!
The next moment, Qing Lei bolted out, followed by others on horseback.
In addition to the horses that everyone got off, there was actually a horse on the left and right sides of everyone.
I remember that Jianwei Zhonglang had to scrape Zhu Bangguo's pants out to collect 3,000 war horses. After not seeing each other for a few days, they were all one man and three horses.
Because there were horses for transportation, even if they traveled hundreds of miles, the speed of the horses would not slow down.
A total of six thousand war horses galloped together, and the ground made a "dong-dong" sound, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the people in the city, so many people climbed up the tower to look here.
"Who are these people? They are so dark that you can't even see their faces. Are they a group of robbers?"
"How can there be thousands of robbers? It's more like our Black Hawk Army in Daxia. Our Black Hawk Army also wears black clothes."
"When you said that, I remembered it. I heard that one of our Black Hawks crossed the border. It might be them."
"Hey! Looking at their momentum, they must have won another battle. They can't wait to come back to spread the news."
…
A group of people were all watching the excitement, because after hearing the noise, Wang Cheng and others were still several miles away from them and could not see their true faces at all.
It wasn't until Wang Cheng and others were only a hundred or ten meters away from them that the people who boarded the tower finally saw that something was wrong.
Just now they all thought that this group of people was the Black Hawk Army, but they knew the uniforms of the Black Hawk Army clearly, and no one covered their faces.
"Who are they? Are they really robbers who came to fight Qiu Feng?"
"Don't care who they are! Hurry up and order the defenders to close the city gate!"
…
At this moment, there was no need for anyone to convey the order. The soldiers under the city tower quickly closed the city gate.
But at this moment, a shout of "kill" rang in the ears of several guards. Even though they were dozens of meters away, the powerful sound wave still caused their ears to be temporarily deafened.
"not good!"
Although the guards still didn't know the identity of this group of people, the word "kill" already explained their intention.
At this time, the captain who was responsible for guarding the city gate finally arrived here after hearing the noise.
He quickly rushed to the top of the city tower and ordered the defenders to fire arrows immediately.
"call out!"
At this moment, a black light flashed in front of his eyes, really as fast as light, and it hit his eyebrows instantly.
A wisp of blood spurted out, his eyes widened, his face still maintained the same expression as before, and he fell to the ground on his back.
All the guards on the tower were dumbfounded and even forgot to shoot their arrows.
What happened just now?
With a "whoosh" sound, a sword penetrated the head of the captain of the city gate, and then the flying sword turned around and flew back.
At the same time, Wang Cheng led the first row of cavalry less than twenty meters away from the city gate.
"kill!"
He shouted loudly, threw out the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand, and headed straight for the city gate.
The spear turned into a golden light and hit the city gate with a "bang".
The tiger-headed Zhan golden gun weighing over a thousand kilograms was so powerful when thrown with a huge force of over ten thousand kilograms. The solid city gate was shot through on the spot, and the cracks spread around like a spider web.
The several guards who had almost closed the city gate all looked shocked. After being stunned for a moment, they turned around and ran away.
At the same time, Wang Cheng rode Qing Lei to the bottom of the city, jumped up from the horse with a "whoosh", and kicked hard towards the city gate with both feet.
"boom!!"
The city gate that was already full of cracks could no longer hold up, and instantly fell apart and turned into pieces.
Wang Cheng "bathed" the fragments of the city gate and rushed into the city.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Pengfei swung two sledgehammers and knocked down another shaky door.
The city gate is completely open.
The knights following behind felt like they were living in a dream. They originally thought they would have to go through a fight to get in, but who could have imagined that it would be so fast.
Don't take it too easy!
Wang Cheng's body flashed, and he was already back on the horse. He raised the tiger-headed golden gun and shouted: "Gao Shang, Zhuang Zhen, you two teams control the city tower. The others follow me and fight in!"
"yes!"
At that moment, the two young team leaders each led fifty people to attack the tower, and the others followed Wang Cheng and rushed into the city.
Such a loud movement frightened the residents and pedestrians at the East City Gate, and they all ran as fast as rabbits.
"The robbers are coming! Run!"
"Quick! Get the reinforcements!"
…
The streets instantly became chaotic.
The imagined encounter and interception did not appear. Wang Cheng led a group of cavalry as if they were in a deserted land.
"Fire rockets!"
After receiving the order, the people who were ready fired burning bows and arrows at the two rows of houses.
"Boohoo!"
Rockets shot into houses. Most of these houses were wooden structures, many of which had been preserved for hundreds of years. When they encountered bows and arrows dipped in kerosene, they immediately burned down.
Wang Cheng slowed down and let as many rockets as possible shoot into the house.
The houses on both sides of the street are all shops, and the materials are all of excellent quality. Except for the wooden structures on the houses, the walls are mainly made of masonry. If the fire is small, it is likely to be extinguished.
Fortunately, they had a lot of manpower, and they could fire two thousand rockets at a time. In just a few moments, hundreds of houses in the east part of the city were already on fire.
When such a big fire started, everyone in Yanzhou City knew that something was going on.
No matter it was people living in the farthest west of the city, or people living in the south or north of the city, they were all attracted by the fire.
"Son of a bitch! Who dares to set fire to our place without taking care of what's exposed in his crotch!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Call the master, copy the guy, and kill all those bastards!"
…
Although Yanzhou City is a large economic city famous for its "commerce", it is also because of this reason that there are more than 100,000 people living in this city, and there are naturally many warriors.
After Wang Cheng and his party burned down more than 500 houses, they finally encountered an obstacle.
The Xia soldiers in the city began to quickly gather in this direction, and in just a few moments, hundreds of them had arrived.
Wang Cheng quickly made a gesture, and hundreds of people immediately appeared behind him and aimed their rockets at these people.
"put!"
Following his order, hundreds of rockets fired at the group of people on the opposite side.
This group of guards was obviously well prepared, with shields in each hand, so they immediately raised their shields to resist.
"Bang bang bang!"
The rocket hit the shield and failed to penetrate it, but caused the shield to burn.
Wang Cheng frowned when he saw this. It was impossible to expect these rockets to burn him to death.
He clamped his legs together, and Qing Lei turned into a stream of light, carrying him and rushing to the opposite side.
"Boohoo!"
The knights behind were still firing arrows to cover Wang Cheng.
In a moment, Wang Cheng came closer and stabbed forward with a tiger-headed golden spear.
"boom!"
The tiger-headed golden spear easily pierced the shield and penetrated the body of the man below without any hindrance.
Wang Cheng shouted loudly and used his strength to lift the man and his shield into the air.
"kill!"
Wang Cheng flicked his hand and threw the soldier away, hitting the guards in front with a "bang".
It was like a huge stone being thrown into a pond, and many guards were knocked away on the spot.
"boom!"
Wang Cheng took the opportunity to rush into the crowd, stabbing or chopping with the tiger-headed golden spear in his hand.
Wherever it passed, people flew and shields were shattered, and there was no enemy at all!
Zhu Pengfei and other knights who followed also rushed over and killed everyone they met.
There were fierce generals rushing in front and horse archers behind to suppress them. How could the hundreds of people gathered by Xia State be able to stop them.
Within a few moments, hundreds of Xia soldiers were killed to pieces, and the remaining uninjured people rolled and crawled around, fleeing in all directions.
Xia Ren, who was originally waiting and thinking about taking action, hurriedly hid.
Even Xia Bing couldn't stop them, so how could they, ordinary people with some strength, stop them?
There were more than two thousand cavalry, all armed with strong bows and crossbows. Unless a large number of heavy shield bearers or cavalry were sent to counterattack, who could stop them?
The street ahead is smooth again.
Wang Cheng rushed at the front, followed closely by a group of knights, who continued to shoot rockets at the houses on both sides.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the sky and instantly turned into a bright three-meter sword.
"Master of martial arts!"
