Zhaohan was shocked. The Huaiyang army had really attacked and reached here.
Zhao Yi's eyes also widened. She had just met Ying Xuan in despair, and she just had the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect to be saved!
The county captain not far away raised his hands and said hello, but Ying Xuan didn't see the county guard.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Zhaohan.
"Where are the other members of your Zhao clan?"
Hearing Ying Xuan's voice, Zhao Han came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.
"I'm not lying to you! There is indeed no one left alive in our Zhao family, they have all been killed by those beasts!"
Ying Xuan glanced at him and said nothing more when he saw his firm face.
"Then lead the way! Let me see how capable those Yue people are!"
Seeing that Ying Xuan did not investigate carefully, Zhao Han hurriedly lowered his head and moved forward. In order to prevent his wound from worsening, Zhang Han asked someone to lead him a horse.
Before Ying Xuan walked out of the courtyard, he raised his head and glanced at the roof.
The thirty Imperial Guards immediately left a few of them where they were, and after everyone moved eastward, they quietly returned to the main hall of the Zhao Family Courtyard.
…
The big guy is annoyed at the moment.
After the team gathered, he came back again to follow Chang Lin.
I wanted to ask about the arrest of the wife, but I just rushed all the way and didn't see a single daughter-in-law.
But unexpectedly, there was a follower behind him.
When I was resting not far from the city gate, I came over to chat with him with a shy face.
Now they are on the move again, still talking non-stop.
What do you mean by giving yourself the position of a thousand generals and how much salary you have!
Even though I said I was no longer interested, I still tried to persuade him.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone around him was a little afraid of him, even the big guys would want to kick him.
Fortunately, when the big guy finally couldn't stand it anymore, Chang Lin saw it.
"We are all soldiers personally summoned by the imperial censor! The imperial censor once said that if you violate military orders, you will be killed without mercy!"
"If you do this, you will drive two cows to death!"
"Why don't you go directly to the censor and tell him? If the censor agrees, Erniu will definitely go with you!"
The Sheriff's smile froze on his face!
"A person from the imperial censor?"
Chang Lin and Er Niu nodded together.
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, I would have wasted my breath!"
The county guard turned around angrily and left, leaving the helpless two cows behind.
Chang Lin was a little happy, from this he could see the status of the censor.
This is the head of a county. Even the censor should not have such a strong intimidation force to make him turn around and leave as soon as he hears his name.
Either this censor has a very high status, or he is a person with real power.
Now it seems that it should be the latter. Maybe after he rescues his family, he can still serve under the censor, which will be a great opportunity.
The county lieutenant looked at the returning county guard and asked seriously.
"How about it, can you win me over?"
The Sheriff shook his head angrily.
"What the hell, he's from the censor!"
"Why do you think the censor can do anything?"
"He brought a total of two hundred people! He said he brought food back with him!"
"Say he's entering the city! He's entering the city!"
"Speak of taking the city gate! The city gate is broken!"
"Good guy! The Chosen One?"
As soon as these words came out, the county lieutenant who originally wanted to laugh secretly coughed twice.
"You can't say this nonsense!"
"Be careful if someone listens to you, your life will be in danger!"
"The one who is ordered by heaven is the one in the Purple Gold Palace. If you say this, not only will you be unlucky, but the censor will also be tricked to death!"
The county guard also reacted and hurriedly kept silent.
"Hey, don't you want to catch me? Why are you so kind to remind me!"
The county lieutenant rolled his eyes.
"I'm catching you to prevent you from using your official position to pressure me in the future! I'm not trying to trick you to death!"
The county guard laughed and didn't care. Who would know about the joke if they didn't tell it.
At this time, he was in the corner of the courtyard separated by a wall.
A pair of eyes suddenly opened, and he took out a pen to write down in the bright moonlight.
"The young master broke his longevity in one night, which is unprecedented!"
“The governor of Huaiyang exclaimed that he is the chosen one!”
After recording, he looked up and sighed.
"It seems that this person is also full of wisdom and can guess the truth so accurately!"
"I have to move around more in the future!"
Sigouzai felt that he had found the same kind, and waved his arms excitedly.
"Listen to his corner!"
…
Ying Xuan walked in the middle of the team.
I just ordered to continue the attack to the east, and it went surprisingly well.
The governor and lieutenant didn't say a word.
Then the casualties and remaining troops were counted.
The Huaiyang army's prime minister and captain hurriedly accepted the order, leaving Ying Xuan a little confused.
"What happened to them?"
Zhang Han whispered back.
"Your decisive commanding ability is admired by everyone, and they are convinced!"
Ying Xuan frowned. If it was ten days ago, he would have danced with excitement after hearing such words.
But now for some reason, there is no fluctuation in my heart.
It didn't take the Prime Minister long to sort out the damage to the Huaiyang army.
"Report to the Censor! More than 10,000 yuan was damaged at the gate of the Huaiyang Army."
"More than 4,000 people were lost after entering the city."
"There are now fifteen thousand men left, but thousands more wounded!"
"The real intact combat strength is less than 10,000!"
Ying Xuan nodded and frowned. The casualties were greater than expected, but he did not stop the attack because of this.
The soldiers still have the momentum to break the city, and they can still fight at this time.
Once a long period of rest occurs, the wounded's negative emotions will spread, and their combat effectiveness will not be reduced at all.
Looking around, there were many wounded who had not injured their legs. They gritted their teeth and endured the pain and followed the army eastward.
Ying Xuan didn't speak. He felt that his blood seemed to be getting colder and colder.
But turning around and looking to the east, those people couldn't wait any longer!
"The arrow clusters are not enough. The crossbow arrows carried by the army are almost exhausted. Even though many arrow bodies were recovered, most of the arrow clusters were damaged.
"I'm afraid that the crossbow phalanx will lose its effectiveness next!"
Cheng's words really made everyone anxious.
The powerful crossbow has always been a huge advantage of the Qin army. Once this long-range suppression power is lost, the next battle will be even more difficult.
Ying Xuan frowned, wondering what to do.
Zhaohan said hurriedly next to him.
"Jing's family has been making arrows for the rebels. I do know the location of the crossbow workshop, and it's not in the east of the city! I just don't know how many are left!"
Ying Xuan's eyes lit up. All the arrows made by Qin were of the same standard. Even if the Jing family made them privately, they would not specialize in making other models.
This siege was so rapid that it had only lasted three hours. The opponent had no time to evacuate. There would definitely be a lot of arrows clustered around.
He ordered the army to eat where they were.
The carriages that were robbed along the way were brought in, and the money inside was rewarded and asked to be distributed by the county guard.
He led a hundred people and Zhaohan towards the north of the city.
The county guard looked at the treasures in several large boxes and blinked in confusion.
What is the identity of the censor? He doesn't seem to be interested in money at all.
But this approach does attract people's hearts.
The soldiers all around who saw this scene were whispering.
"With such a big heart, it is worthy of being able to achieve the position of censor at such a young age!"
"Indeed, for someone who is so capable but doesn't like money, he will definitely be a powerful person in the future."
When Zhang Han heard these words before leaving, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.
Although he didn't know why Ying Xuan became generous.
But he clearly remembered how this man would argue hard for his gold even when facing His Majesty in the Purple Gold Palace!
…
Zhaohan sat on the first carriage, looking at the lifeless Shouchun City under the night, trembling in his heart.
A few months ago, this was a huge city full of vitality, but now it has become like this.
"How are the other two tribes doing now?"
Ying Xuan asked.
Zhaohan replied respectfully.
"Those people first controlled the county guards through the Qu family branch, and then began to infiltrate the three clans."
"In fact, not long after the rebellion, the three tribes basically lost control of Shouchun City."
"The Qu family branch has become the puppet of those Yue people. The Jing family still has some self-control, but their private soldiers have also been transferred away. Apart from the few members of their own family around them, they don't have much ability to resist!"
Ying Xuan nodded.
It seems that there is no need to worry about the other three tribes, as long as we catch that guy, we can take care of him!
It didn't take long before they arrived at the place.
A cluttered yard is littered with scattered farm equipment.
Zhaohan stepped forward to lead the way.
"It's just a cover!"
He opened a room in the courtyard.
Then he ordered the soldiers to push open several cabinets with back panels.
The bright firelight shone out, and Ying Xuan's eyes suddenly widened.
The room was actually an empty semi-underground space.
Many of the stoves inside were not extinguished.
What's even stranger is that there is a man standing motionless in front of the fire with his back to everyone.
