Chapter 1383 Capture of Bright Moon City

Originally, according to the lord's intention, he wanted to show off and coerce the main hall. After all, the main hall only had [-] cavalry, but the lord had [-] cavalry.

But the lord did not expect that these six hundred cavalry would arouse the jealousy of other city lords belonging to the same camp.

As a result, with the support of these city lords, the hall directly asked the lord for two hundred cavalry, which made the lord agree or refuse.

Although the city lords are doing their own thing, they still belong to the same lord under the same banner in name, and blatant disobedience to orders may attract all the city lords of the same force to crusade.

In the end, just when the news of the young master's death came, the master used this reason to hurry back.

But the matter was not over yet, as the hall sent envoys to express their condolences, there was also an order to recover the two hundred war horses.

The southeast peninsula is short of horses, and the two neighboring countries are even more short of horses.

The powerful attack power of the cavalry makes war horses an important armament, which cannot be bought with money in the southeast peninsula. It is conceivable how important two hundred war horses are to a force. How difficult it is to choose between a hundred war horses.

"Oh, it seems that we have to hand over the horse." City Lord Mingyue said with a sigh.

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, and Phil knew that the lord's decision was right.

However, when he thought that he exchanged the shipbuilder for war horses for nothing, and got the reward of two thousand stones of land for his meritorious deeds, he couldn't help but trembled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Zhao Hu still has thousands more horses, we may be able to buy another two hundred horses from him."

City Lord Mingyue frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Didn't he say that he could only take out two hundred horses? Now that you ask him for it, is he still willing to give out the horses?"

"He has so many war horses, so it shouldn't be a problem to give two hundred more. Doesn't he need a shipwright? We have brought out a batch of excellent shipwrights, and he will definitely not refuse. As long as the price is right, calling him a traitor is fine." No problem," Phil said.

City Lord Mingyue frowned when he heard this: "Excellent shipwrights? This is an important basis for guaranteeing our interests, and I heard that he plans to build a shipyard. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give him these excellent shipwrights."

"My lord, we can raise the price. An excellent shipwright is exchanged for a war horse. A mere two hundred shipwrights cannot pose a threat to us. Moreover, he is only a major lord, and he will leave the territory after a while. His territory is the largest. Just to earn some money for him, there is no need to be afraid that he will build warships," Feier said.

City Lord Mingyue nodded and said, "Well, that's good. When he comes, go talk to him. If you don't want a shipbuilder, you can exchange it for gold coins. You can tell him, two thousand gold coins for a war horse."

Feier took the order immediately, neither of them thought that Zhao Hu would threaten him, the great thing was to earn a little gold coins from him.

Because they all know that the imperial army did not order to go to war without authorization, which is a capital crime.

Just when the Lord Mingyue asked how the reception was going, a servant rushed in impolitely and shouted: "My lord, urgent report! The rogues living in the dock took advantage of the fire and looted the dock. They also started to attack us in an organized way. The Fang army urgently needs reinforcements!"

City Lord Mingyue immediately jumped up and shouted: "These damned untouchables! How dare they pick this time to rebel! Do you want me to lose face? Come on! Send me five thousand troops to kill those untouchables at the dock!"

Fei Er hurriedly dissuaded him: "My lord, with the addition of the 2000 troops who went to put out the fire, there are only more than [-] troops left in our city, and the defense in the city will be weakened by half. Why don't we call in mercenaries?"

City Lord Mingyue stared at Feier coldly and said, "Help mercenaries? It's such a trivial matter to exterminate these untouchables who are taking advantage of the fire, that mercenaries are actually dispatched?
"If I do this, what will Major Zhao Hu think of me when he sees it? How will the other city lords talk about me? They will definitely think that my direct troops are too weak to deal with the rogues! If they have such a Misunderstanding, what do you think is going to happen next?" After speaking, the voice of the city lord was so cold that it could freeze.

Fell broke out in a cold sweat. What kind of consequences would a power's direct troops be weak?The same forces will immediately carve you up, and the foreign forces will immediately invade.

We cannot show weakness on the southeast peninsula.

In the past, there was a fool who didn't know who he listened to. He wanted the surrounding enemies to fight each other, but he hid in the dark and took the opportunity to develop. He instructed the army directly under him to show weakness on purpose, but he didn't expect that the moment he showed weakness, the enemies in all directions would immediately attack him. Putting the target on him, they all swarmed over, even the rogues and enfeoffed retainers in the territory often rebelled.

Although everyone found that the information did not match after the battle with the idiot's army, the territorial system of the southeast peninsula decided that once the war broke out, the truce would not be decided by the monarch, so everyone was desperately fighting.

In this way, although the army directly under the idiot was actually very strong, no matter how powerful the army was, it could not withstand such repeated attacks, so it goes without saying that the idiot was killed and his territory was annexed.

Therefore, on the southeast peninsula, you can flaunt your power or look at no one, but you can’t show weakness to the enemy, because everyone is bullying and fearing hard. Once people misunderstand you as a soft persimmon, you will be in trouble. If you are pinched too much or for a long time, you will become a soft and rotten persimmon.

Thinking of this, Feier immediately knelt down and kowtowed in panic: "My lord, I was nervous about the safety of the city and didn't notice this. I'm going to die. I'm willing to atone for my sins and lead the army to destroy those untouchables!"

Now Feier was yelling at himself in his heart: "Damn it, why are you so stupid, you only think about the safety of the city and don't want the regular army to dispatch, but you didn't expect that it would make people feel weak! It's miserable now, and it was hard to build before. The impression will be greatly reduced, I am afraid that there will be no chance to lead soldiers to atone for their sins."

Sure enough, City Lord Mingyue refused: "No need, you are still in charge of the banquet, and other people will be responsible for the extermination of those untouchables."

Hearing the cold tone of the lord of Mingyue, Feier could only obey with a sigh in his heart. Alas, it seems that it will take him a long time to recover the impression in the heart of the lord.

The other vassals present gloated over their misfortune. Although they did not dare to add insult to injury, it was a pleasure to see the status of the first vassal decline.

After receiving the order, the [-] regular army of Mingyue City rushed to the pier aggressively and fully armed, and the city gate was much more tightly guarded. This made Moder's men lurking near the city gate very anxious, worried that they would not be able to complete the task. At the same time as the mission, they sent someone to quickly send back the information about the enemy's reinforcements.

In the chaotic pier, Moder was leading a group of men to command the bandits, excitedly beheading the [-]-odd regular army.

This regular army was very unlucky, they had received orders to put out the fire, and they did not carry spears, bows and arrows at all except a saber, and just when they were about to put out the fire, dense swarms of rogues with bamboo spears suddenly appeared on the left, right and back.

Before Ming Yuebing, who belonged to the guard, could react, he was pierced by a bamboo spear.

The rogue who killed the Mingyue soldiers didn't bother to care about the others, and immediately dropped the bamboo spear, grabbed the soldier's saber, and shouted: "I have a gold coin!" while raising the knife and rushing towards the other Mingyue soldiers.

The actions of these rogues made the blood boil of the rogues behind, and they all shouted: "Gold coins! Gold coins!" and launched a forgetful attack.

Although the Mingyue soldiers were well-trained, they were ambushed unprepared for the first time, and there was a fire on one side, and the bandits on three sides were as dense as a tide.

Although there is a big difference in physique and weapons between the Rogue and the Bright Moon Soldiers, when it comes to the level of ferocity, they are still stronger than the Rogue who has nothing but life to fight for.

Moreover, because the rogues have an absolute advantage in numbers, and stimulated by money and status, their morale is boiling.

The outcome of the battle is self-evident, it's just a matter of time.

Seeing how excited the rogues were, Maud, who was hiding behind, proudly said to his subordinates: "How about it, I'm still smart, right?
"One gold coin is exchanged for a weapon of a Mingyue City soldier, and the officer's is doubled. I don't need to waste my time, these guys all risk their lives to launch an attack. Soldiers use gold coins to buy them, and the bosses use their retainers to buy them. It's really wise."

"Boss is really wise. The subordinates never thought of it. It's amazing that boss can think of this way to improve morale." Mod's subordinates immediately flattered him.

While enjoying the flattery, Maude laughed at himself secretly: "What a wise man, didn't you remember the reason why the city offered rewards to buy imperial weapons when you attacked the lord.

"However, Mingyue City is too stingy. The imperial weapon only costs one silver coin, but now I only get one gold coin! I am so generous, so I am the only one who is suitable to be the new city lord here!" Get proud.

At any time, there will be unpleasant situations. No, one of the subordinates suddenly asked: "Boss, there are thousands of people here, that is, thousands of weapons. Boss, do you have so many gold coins?"

The sound of flattery disappeared immediately, and Maud glared at the subordinate and shouted: "Idiot! I am working for the lord, and the money is of course given by the lord!"

The subordinate didn't wink and continued to ask: "Uh, what if the lord disagrees?"

"It's only a few thousand gold coins. My lord is so rich and generous, how can you disagree?"

Maude didn't think about this at all, and answered his subordinates' questions very easily.

In fact, it was true, as long as a few thousand gold coins were paid out, thousands of enemy troops could be eliminated. Anyone would agree to such a good thing.
