Chapter 1388 Capture of Bright Moon City (6)

The messenger who came to report was sweating profusely and carefully reminded: "My lord, besides his twenty warships, the young master also brought more than 100 warships."

"More than 100 warships? Which faction?" The city lord immediately asked nervously.

"I don't know, these warships are not flying flags, and they are all hand-to-hand ships."

"Melee combat boats? If the Mingyue navy can be defeated by melee combat boats, then why have my Mingyue navy flaunted their power for so many years? Will my warships let the melee combat boats approach? They have fed fish all the military knowledge they have learned for so many years? " Mingyue City roared angrily.

"My lord, according to our observations, we saw that the sailors put up a welcome formation and even issued a welcome sign, but they were unprepared for the enemy's attack. As the enemy approached, the entire army was wiped out." Said tremblingly.

"My navy is gone just like that?" The city lord murmured in disbelief, then sat down rudely and said, "Are you sure it's my rebellious son colluding with foreign enemies?"

Beads of sweat dripped from his confidant, and he said hesitantly: "My lord, we just saw the young master's warship, but we are not sure if the young master is colluding...

"Uh, yes, my lord, those hand-to-hand ships are all from the Augustus Empire!" The confidant suddenly changed the subject, and he didn't dare to say that the young master colluded with outsiders. Still less involved.

As for why the young master conspired against him?It's very simple, the lord has no feelings for the young master who was born as an illegitimate son, and the young master is a rebellious person, and outsiders can do anything with a little provocation. Let's see how many people have been harmed by the illegitimate son after he got the position of young master , you will know.

"August Empire? Hundred warships?"

The city lord immediately became nervous. If the Augustus Empire wanted to attack the southeast peninsula, let alone himself and his lord, even the entire southeast peninsula would not be able to contend.

However, the city lord soon realized that this was impossible. The two countries Ultraman and Wirth would never open a battlefield on the southeast peninsula.

Thinking of this, the city lord had a flash of inspiration: "Damn it! Hundreds of warships, wouldn't they be the sea ships captured by Major Zhao Hu? That's right! That guy must be upset that I raised the price of the goods and colluded with that traitor Rebellion! That's it!"

The city lord cheered up again and asked his cronies: "You said they didn't occupy the military port, but went straight to the civilian dock?"

"Yes, my lord." The confidant nodded hurriedly.

"Hmph, it seems that the fire at the common people's pier and the rebellion of the untouchables are also the fault of that traitor, but he and Major Zhao Hu can't mobilize many troops. up.

"Come here, order all the cavalry to set off to eliminate the rebellion at the dock! Issue a summoning order! Order the affiliated nobles to immediately organize all troops to assemble in Mingyue City, and order all retainers to immediately lead troops to Mingyue City to listen to the order according to the scale of ten stones in the territory!
"Let them equip their private soldiers better! There are still those who haven't arrived before dark, their territories will be deprived, and the whole family will be reduced to pariahs! At the same time, contact me with the nearby mercenary leader..."

Speaking of this, the city lord suddenly shook his head: "Forget it, we don't need mercenaries." He thought it was just a civil war, and the main force of the rebel army were untouchables, so there was no need for mercenaries.

Although this mercenary has a large number of people and strong combat effectiveness, it is not so easy to use. First, the price is very expensive. Second, once I use the mercenary, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the surrounding forces and even break out of war, so it is better to use it or not. .

"Yes, my servant will deliver the order now!"

The confidant immediately ran out excitedly. He is very excited now. The military rewards are the most generous in the southeast peninsula, but most of the city lords are used to using their own banners, that is, the troops directly under them. Unless there is a big war, they will not Use the retainers and the private soldiers of the wealthy family.

But in the event of a big war, the retainers and the private soldiers of the rich family can only become cannon fodder. The opportunity to kill the untouchables to gain military merit like this is a great thing to get promoted, get rich, and increase the territory.

As a group of messengers rushed out of the city, the entire territory of Mingyue City immediately boiled.

At the civilian pier, the battle between the Mingyue Army and the rogues is still fierce. Facing the desperate attacks of the rogues, even though the Mingyue Army is well-equipped and well-organized, it has suffered a lot of losses. At least the dense formation of spearmen was blown away. several layers.

The rogues who attacked the Mingyue Army also paid a higher price. Compared with the dense crowd just now, it was almost half the number. .

Just when the rogues had lost their confidence and were about to stop resisting and let the Mingyue Army slaughter them, suddenly there were shouts from the little bosses behind them.

"Brothers, hold on! Our reinforcements are here! It's cavalry! Everyone look for the right time to dodge!"

Hearing this shout and the sound of horseshoes behind them, the rogues immediately burst into flames and rushed towards the Mingyue Army in a spirited manner.

In a state of frenzy, they didn't pay attention to the words behind the little bosses at all, allowing the little bosses to jump anxiously behind and shout.

As the cavalry got closer, the little bosses had no choice but to give up shouting, and at the same time nodded to each other in agreement, and then quickly hid on both sides.

They were a bit knowledgeable, knowing that as long as the cavalry lost their impact, they would be slaughtered by the infantry, so even if the cavalry rushed directly to the team and killed those unlucky ones, they would admit it.

Anyway, it's not just you who dies.

Lao Dao, the leader of the cavalry, saw that the gangsters did not give way at all, but were entangled with the Mingyue Army, so he didn't think too much about it, so he directly drew his bow and shot an arrow. Now this distance is enough for him to shoot ten arrows.

The action of the centurion, Lao Dao, was an order, and the cavalry behind immediately followed suit.

The cavalry from the back is slightly lower than the servants. Although the cavalry from the militia cannot shoot directly, the distance to the enemy is not far. They directly use projectiles to throw the arrows over the heads of the crowd in front.

The fanatical rogues obviously didn't expect an attack from behind. The first one who fell to the ground with an arrow in his back was the rogue who surrounded the back and squeezed forward desperately, followed by the rogue who was shot in the head and shoulder and fell down screaming.

Since Zhao Hu's cavalry came along the street, all the arrows shot in one direction, and each attack created a gap in the dense crowd of rogues. A passage full of dead bodies.

Originally, this gap would be filled soon, but the rogues who were awakened by the attack from behind, and the little bosses took the opportunity to shout, let them understand that those brothers died in vain, and immediately made them lean to the sides in a hurry .

The cavalry drew back their bows, the servants drew their sabers, and the other cavalry took up their spears and began to charge.

Compared with the cavalry from the grasslands, these imperial cavalry are more suitable for charging with cavalry guns.

Of course, this is mainly because the imperial cavalry is not good at cavalry and archery. Unlike the prairie cavalry who are far better at bows and arrows, they can only use long spears that are farther than the saber's attack range.

The cavalry showed no mercy, they rode their horses and trampled the corpses on the ground into meat paste. Their only target was the Mingyue Army who were still maintaining their attacking formation due to the sudden dispersal of bandits ahead.

Before the Mingyue Army could react, dozens of horses from the vanguard of the cavalry directly slammed into the Mingyue Army's spear formation, and the powerful impact immediately dispersed the entire formation.

The dozens of cavalrymen jumped off their horses at the moment when their horses collided with their spears. Those who were unlucky hit the weapons directly and died, while those who were lucky jumped up and slashed wildly after knocking down people.

Although dozens of horses were lost, the long spears that threatened the cavalry had been destroyed, and the following cavalry did not make much action, but just grasped their sabers and cavalry guns—the weapons would automatically move to the side due to the speed of the horses. The enemy was hacked and stabbed to death.

The long snake formation composed of thousands of cavalry broke through the spear formation of the Mingyue Army and broke into the joint formation of swordsmen and archers.

Those rogue leaders are not fools, when they saw that the enemy army was overwhelmed, they immediately drew their knives and shouted: "Quick!

Follow the cavalry to kill the enemy!Make contributions!The bounty is at hand! "

Although the rogues who had moved out of the way were a little annoyed that the cavalrymen shot and killed their companions, after hearing the shout of the little boss, they rushed up immediately with red eyes.

The joining of these rogues greatly relieved the cavalry who had lost their horses. Otherwise, no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to support them for long. After all, they were surrounded by enemies.

Moder and the others who stayed behind did not wait long, and soon, Zhao Hu's infantry in a state of rapid march appeared in front of them.

Maude whispered to the leaders: "The one riding the horse in the middle is my master, please be more respectful later."

The bosses nodded their heads like chickens eating rice. They just took a peek and then lowered their heads. They didn't even know which of the dozens of cavalrymen was Zhao Hu.

"How long has the cavalry passed?" Zhao Hu stopped with his personal guards and asked Maud.

The infantry did not stop, but continued to run forward under the leadership of Juan.

Juan is full of energy and excitement at the same time, because he is the first imperial soldier to set foot on foreign land among so many garrison divisions in the empire, and he is an imperial hero who expanded the empire!Although such deeds cannot be recorded by the empire, it is very satisfying to imagine it.

Looking at the situation now, it would be good to follow this major. How long has it been since he went to the southeast peninsula to fight? I wonder if he will go to the Liberty League to fight in the future?Hehe, I'm willing to bully a kid like Southeast Peninsula, but if I want to trouble the giant, I'd better be a deserter.

Hearing Zhao Hu's question, the leaders who bowed their heads and stood in a few rows immediately took a peek at Zhao Hu, and thought to themselves: "So the master I want to rely on is so young."
