Chapter 209 Zhao Yuntian’s deployment
Helianborg, which was once again submerged in the night, was still as brightly lit as before, while the streets that used to be lively became extremely deserted at this time. The day and night that just passed was a frightening day for every citizen of Tiexin Village.
Fortunately, these iron armored guards did not cause much harm to the ordinary people in the village, except for wiping out a few stubbornly resisting family forces. For the first time, the grain depot in the south of the village was opened to distribute food to the people.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart. After the people got over the initial period of fear, they began to try to observe their new ruler. The villagers did not dare to discuss it in public and only dared to talk quietly in private.
"I'm talking about his third aunt. I heard that these people in Yinren Village are all cannibals without spitting out their bones!"
"Hey, can you tell me something reliable?"
"Don't believe it, look at the food they distributed to us. What do they do with so many men? And I heard from our neighbor Liu that her little boy, four and five, haven't been home for several days! These two How can a living person just disappear without saying a word?"
"Yes! I've also heard that those for Lord Helianbao..."
"Keep your voice down!"
"None of the servants who followed the previous one to protect the courtyard have come back. No one alive or dead!"
"Are these people really cannibals?"
…
Helianbao, Xuanwu Hall.
Zhao Yuntian sat at the top and looked at the people standing in the hall. After a day of recovery yesterday, the tall, thin middle-aged man's injuries were basically unharmed. After all, Mrs. Lu's really powerful shot was blocked by Li Chengtao.
"Mr. Zhao, all the resistance forces in Tiexin Village have been eliminated. According to the list you provided, we deployed control at the same time and did not let anyone go." Bai Mei, with a delicate face, said calmly.
The middle-aged man nodded and asked in a deep voice: "What obstacles have you encountered?"
"There are some obstacles, but they don't constitute a threat. It's just..." The woman pondered for a moment and continued: "Just following your instructions, we only killed the heads of these powerful families and did not attack the young women and children. What to do with these people?"
The remaining person in the hall also looked at the middle-aged man. Zhao Yuntian frowned and sighed: "Temporarily imprison the women and children in the backyard of Helian Fort. Later, they will be sent to Yinren Village together with the female relatives of Helian Fort. They are no longer suitable to live here."
Bai Mei nodded and said no more. The pale eagle-eyed man at the side thought for a while and asked: "What should we do next?"
"Can you count the number of our warriors?" the tall, thin middle-aged man said softly.
Ying quickly calculated and explained: "After clearing Helianborg the day before yesterday, our side had a total of 142 iron-clad guards participating in the battle. Excluding the 21 injured, there were still 121. After that, Captain Poisonous Bee took eighty people to the northern border to pursue Helian Tiexin. We currently have forty-one guard Tieyi who can still fight."
The tall, thin middle-aged man frowned and said, "Were there just two teams?"
The eagle-eyed man continued: "Lord Venomous Bee took away four of the iron-clad squads, but fortunately you have about thirty people from the former Tiexin Village intelligence team, plus the people who surrendered in this battle. There are also nearly fifty servants.”
Zhao Yuntian nodded, but he knew that with the current situation, he could only wait for news from Yinren Village. Although he has more than 120 people on hand, the only ones who can really be put to important use are the two detachments of guard Tieyi and more than 30 intelligence team members.
The tall, thin middle-aged man needs these people to stabilize the situation in Tiexin Village. Even though everything was calm on the surface at this time, what really worried him was the two thousand cavalry from Ji Rentu.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the eagle on the side, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately lead a detachment of armored guards and stationed in the Queshan Camp. Whether you use homing pigeons or peregrine falcons, you must contact the poisonous bees. There are people on the northern border. If you have any news, please report it immediately!"
"promise!"
The eagle-eyed man bowed in response, then turned around and exited the Xuanwu Hall.
"Bai Mei, you lead the remaining twenty guard Tieyi and members of the intelligence team, together with the more than fifty surrendered warriors, to continue to maintain order in Tiexin Village."
The delicate woman frowned and did not agree immediately.
Zhao Yuntian obviously saw the woman's doubts and explained: "Whether Tiexin Village is stable or not has a huge bearing! If you want to stabilize the people, you must first stabilize your mind!"
Bai Mei nodded thoughtfully, bowed and retreated from Xuanwu Hall.
The tall, thin middle-aged man looked alone at the empty Xuanwu Hall and the warriors patrolling back and forth outside the hall. Zhao Yuntian murmured to himself: "Ji Rentu, haha, you still have to try it before you know the depth!"
………………Dividing line………………
Zhu Wen looked at his black-armored soldiers and the black horses under their crotches. In the dark night, the iron cavalry that comes and goes like the wind has unimaginable destructive power.
"Sir, the scouts from ahead are reporting that the camp in the north of Tiexin Village is empty." The black-armored scout reported in a low voice.
Apparently, after sneaking into the border of Tiexin Village, General Zhu Qi rushed to the camp to find out what was going on.
The cavalryman wearing silver armor muttered for a moment:
"It seems that the other party has withdrawn its troops. General Ji must have missed the target."
Zhu Wen thought about it again and immediately ordered: "Continue southward and try to reach Queshan before dawn."
"Sir, Queshan is where the main camp of Tiexin Village is located. Do we want to use cavalry to attack the camp?" the soldier in black armor asked doubtfully.
The man in silver armor smiled slightly and said, "This is enemy territory. Whether we attack the camp or not depends on the situation. Our main purpose is to harass and attack the lone troops. If we do it here, Tiexin Village will have no time to take care of itself. Naturally, the pressure from the general will be It will be much smaller.”
There was no need for the young cavalry commander to say much, as a group of cavalrymen followed the man in silver armor towards Que Mountain. When riding horses at night, they can only choose to advance on official roads. Even smaller forest roads cannot guarantee the smooth passage of cavalry at night.
But there is only one official road leading to Queshan Camp. This official road was built with money from Luoye City back then. Starting from Luoye City, it first passed near the camp in the north of Tiexin Village, and then went all the way south to Queshan Mountain. There is also an official road that converges here, which is the official road built from Liangchengang in Yinren Village.
The two official roads meet at the foot of Queshan Mountain and then merge into one official road, leading directly to Tiexin Village.
Zhu Wen led the cavalry and roared along the official road. After walking for about half an hour, they had already traveled sixty miles. Zhu Wen looked at the water leakage he brought with him and saw that he would be able to reach Queshan Mountain around midnight in more than an hour.
The speed of the troops gradually slowed down. These black-armored men were all veterans of horseback riding. Although the horses could still run, it was more conducive to advance in a relaxed and relaxed manner.
Just when the man in silver armor was about to slightly adjust the formation of his troops, black shadows suddenly appeared behind their team. This discovery really surprised the man.
Zhu Wen immediately turned his horse around, preparing to shout to everyone to prepare for an attack. However, a strong wind came from behind his head. Zhu Wen immediately raised his gun to block it, but the gun barrel still bounced away with great force. The knight in silver armor felt a chill on his shoulders, a string of sparks flashed from the silver armor on his shoulders, and a trace of blood appeared on his left shoulder.
