Chapter 130 Arriving at Capital City
Seeing Commander Yuan being defeated by an enemy general with one move, the suppressed Dufu City cavalry became more awe-struck.
"kill!"
Zhong Limei did not stop after dealing with Yuan's commander. He waved his silver spear and led the cavalry to continue sprinting and penetrate the enemy.
At the same time, 20,000 infantrymen arrived in Dufucheng. When the infantry captain saw that 5,000 cavalrymen suppressed his 8,000 cavalrymen, his pupils shrank and he roared.
"Raise your shield!"
The large metal shields were erected by a tall and burly soldier, and they were slammed to the ground. The metal shields were like fish scales, reflecting sparkling cold light in the setting sun.
Under the command of the captain, there were thousands of shield soldiers who followed the five thousand soldiers quickly through the dense forest and rushed to the rear of the enemy cavalry, hoping to outflank the enemy cavalry one after another and reduce the charging range of the enemy cavalry.
Seeing the arrival of their own infantry, the Dufucheng cavalry finally regained their combat effectiveness and resisted the enemy cavalry, hoping to break out of the encirclement of the enemy cavalry.
However, under the leadership of Zhong Lizhen, he attacked suddenly from the left to the right. All the organized enemy cavalry were scattered, and each enemy cavalry was cut off their horses. They were dripping with blood, and the battlefield was extremely chaotic.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The infantry marched in neat steps and slowly approached the battlefield under the command of the captain.
Only the Dufu City cavalry rushes back, and only the enemy cavalry is left in the encirclement. They can use shield restrictions to slowly strangle them.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Thousands of shield soldiers finally went around to the back, put up their shields, blocked the way back, and approached the battlefield step by step.
"kill!"
When Zhongli Mei saw the enemy soldiers surrounding him, his stern face did not change at all. He waved his silver spear, like a thunderbolt across the sky. Zhongli Mei clamped his horse's belly, and a burst of shocking aura erupted from his body. Then he took the lead, leading the cavalry forward. The shield soldiers swept away!
First, a thousand cavalry followed Zhong Lizhen and charged, and then the fighting cavalry joined in one after another. Thousands of cavalry were like snowballs, getting bigger and bigger, and their momentum became more and more terrifying. The ground shook and the ground shook violently. Shake up.
Boom!
Facing the enemy's cavalry attack, the infantry colonel felt tremendous pressure.
"Block!"
There were several soldiers supporting a thick shield behind it, and the spearmen and axemen behind them raised their weapons high!
"Boom!"
Zhong Lizhen's eyes were cold and stern as he charged, his horse leaped high and stepped hard towards the shield!
It was like a meteorite falling from the sky and hitting the shield array heavily. There were only bursts of screams. The shield soldiers in front were directly trampled through, and several soldiers were directly knocked away. At the same time, hooks, axes, and spears , Yue, hundreds of attacks swarmed in from all directions, but they were all blocked by the majestic shield of Gangqi outside Zhongli Wei's body.
Boom!
When Zhong Lizhen opened a hole, the surging cavalry behind him had arrived.
The famous iron cavalry changed like a tide, from the original trapezoidal array to a sharp arrow formation with greater charging power and ability to break formations.
The densely packed cavalry surged in like crucian carp crossing a river. The enemy defense lines following Zhongli Mei were penetrated one after another by them. Almost no one could stop the cavalry.
The enemy army was in chaos for a moment.
"Block!" "Block!"
The enemy captain is commanding the infantry like crazy, don't be scattered by the enemy cavalry, they still have a chance!
However!
After fighting until now, the other five thousand cavalry hidden by Zhongli Mei finally appeared!
Waves of deafening shouts of killing came from afar, but in the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Wei Qiang came flying over with murderous aura, and their momentum was extremely astonishing.
Boom!
With a loud rumbling sound and the roar of horses!
Before most of the enemy troops outflanking them in the front could even react, the cavalry led by Wei Qiang were like sharp knives, running through thunder and lightning, fiercely charging in behind them.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The collision between the iron cavalry and the human body caused the enemy in front to be defeated in an instant!
When the captain who was still holding on to command saw thousands of cavalry rushing towards him, his pupils shrank!
And the cavalry!
Seeing the dazzling silver enemy general on the battlefield, he finally understood that the enemy general deliberately lured them out of the city!
When both teams of cavalry merge,
Boom!
Like a flash flood, the mighty cavalry caused a violent turmoil, raging on the battlefield, and screams echoed through the void.
Boom!
When Zhongli Mei killed the infantry captain with one shot, the remaining time was to harvest.
The battlefield was in chaos.
In the end, the battle ended after half an hour. Many infantrymen fled towards the mountains and forests without pursuing them.
Zhong Lizhen ordered the cavalry to quickly count the number of people. More than a thousand cavalry were killed and more than 300 were seriously injured, but 8,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry were eliminated.
After leaving hundreds of cavalrymen to take care of the seriously injured cavalry, Zhongli Mei led nearly 8,000 cavalrymen and quickly rushed to Dufu City. Zhongli Mei was running with a look of anxiety in his eyes, because His Highness was in Dufu City!
In the ruins of the capital city, most of the officials had already learned that the King of Chu had sent troops to the capital city. Seeing that Meng Cheng did not hesitate to ask Commander Yuan to intercept and kill him, their eyes kept fluctuating. Some of them sighed, but they remained silent. Silent.
Layers after layers of people gradually gathered around the ruins. Seeing the huge Meng family turned into ruins, some were shocked and some showed joy. If it weren't for seeing that Magistrate Meng was still alive, some people would have died. Laughed.
The Meng family controls the capital city, but there are always some playboys who bully men and dominate women, making the people hate them.
At this moment, a fierce shout suddenly came from behind the people:
"King Chu!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here!"
In the center of the ruins of the Meng family, Meng Cheng, surrounded by officials, narrowed his eyes and looked up instantly.
And so do the surrounding officials!
King Chu is here?
How can it be!
They also got news last night that King Chu was holding a banquet. How could they come to Lingyuan Capital City today.
However, the people who surrounded him separated a road, and saw Li Yuan dressed in luxurious clothes, coupled with Li Yuan's jade tree-like appearance, and an indescribable noble aura, being densely supported by the people.
Waves of calls from His Royal Highness King Chu resounded through the sky, mixed with the screams of many girls.
Among other things, the intelligence organization established by Nangong Xiyue not only promoted Li Yuan's wonderful deeds, but also spread his portrait to Lingzhou, at least letting the people of Lingzhou know Li Yuan's face.
When these officials saw Li Yuan actually appearing in front of them, they all looked shocked. The King of Chu was really here!
When Meng Cheng saw a kind-faced old man behind Li Yuan, the hatred in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Li Yuan walked through the crowd and came to the officials in Dufu City. He looked around at everyone and finally looked at Meng Cheng.
"Prefect Meng, don't you recognize me?"
Most of the officials immediately lowered their heads and looked at Meng Cheng cautiously from the corner of their eyes.
"Meng Cheng pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"
Facing Li Yuan's gaze and surrounded by people, Meng Cheng had to bow respectfully even though he was filled with hatred for Li Yuan at the moment.
"Meet His Highness the King of Chu!"
The moment after Meng Cheng saluted, the officials saluted one after another.
"Meet His Highness the King of Chu!"
Officers, soldiers, patrolmen, and ordinary people saluted at the same time.
As if they knew about the arrival of His Royal Highness King Chu, dense crowds of people kept coming from all directions.
I saw Li Mu behind Li Yuan stretching out a hand, and the surging true energy in his body poured out of his palm, blooming with yellow light. In front of the gate of the ruins of Meng Mansion, pieces of residual stone were quickly rolled up and embedded in the ground, forming a high platform.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, motioning for everyone to get up and walk up the stone stairs to the high platform.
Looking around, he saw some people among the people showing expectant and praying eyes. Li Yuan, who became the center of focus, looked down and said to everyone:
"This time when I came to Lingyuan Mansion, I received many unjust accusations from the people. There seems to be many injustices in Lingyuan Mansion.
Therefore, as soon as I returned to Lingzhou, I came to Lingyuan Mansion non-stop to sit down for the suffering people.
This king only wants to do one thing in Lingyuan Mansion, and that is justice!
If any of the common people feel that an official in the city is corrupt and bending the law, or if any official thinks that an official is deceiving the superiors and deceiving subordinates and acting arbitrarily, they can come and report to the king.
I will take it seriously, and I will punish anyone who investigates the actions of an official! "
Li Yuan's firm and resolute voice echoed in the ears of the people.
When they heard that Li Yuan had just returned to Lingzhou, he came to Lingyuan Mansion non-stop just to redress the grievances of the people. Many people were moved.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is so righteous!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is benevolent and righteous!"
The dense and turbulent crowd looked at Li Yuan with admiration.
When the officials close to Meng Cheng saw this scene, they felt flustered in their hearts. They understood why King Chu came here.
If the Meng family was still there, they wouldn't be worried, but now only Meng Cheng is left in the Meng family, which is as big as theirs in their eyes.
And when the King of Chu arrived in the capital city, the officials who were originally dissatisfied with them and those who were suppressed and bullied by them would not seize the opportunity.
When they looked at the officials, they found that they were all looking at Li Yuan with piercing eyes, and their eyes looking down at them were full of coldness.
Suddenly, a soldier hurried over and shouted anxiously:
"No, something bad has happened. Commander Yuan led eight thousand cavalry outside the city and was wiped out. The army was defeated. There were nearly eight thousand cavalry rushing over outside the city."
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the soldiers' words stirred up waves like a stone. Not only did the people panic, but the officials also trembled physically and mentally.
Meng Cheng's face was ashen, and his final comeback point was gone.
Seeing the commotion below, Li Yuan smiled lightly and said loudly:
"Don't be nervous, everyone. The cavalry outside the city are my personal guards. Commander Yuan of Lingyuan Mansion committed a heinous crime. He wanted to prevent me from entering the city and deliberately led the generals to attack my personal guards. Now they have all been wiped out!"
"Wow!"
Another burst of shouting!
"Who is the city gate guard? Tell him that when my personal guards enter the capital city, they will not be intercepted!"
"yes."
The soldier looked at the respected King of Chu above and ran back quickly.
Commander Yuan is dead and Li Yuan is in the city again. As long as the city gate guard is not stupid, he will not intercept him.
Officials who were dissatisfied with the Meng family and bullied them once again had full confidence in Li Yuan.
"Your Highness, King Chu, the common people have a grievance!"
"Your Majesty, King Chu, the common people have been wronged!"
"Please, Your Highness, make the decision for us!"
At this time, a large number of ordinary people came out from below, kneeling on the ground and shouting grievances.
The two leaders were Zhou Wanting and Zhou Qiong.
The people behind them were all organized by them, and they were all people oppressed by the Meng family.
Li Yuan frowned and his face became serious when he saw so many people coming out to redress their grievances.
"Who are you and what grievances do you have!"
Zhou Wanting was seen crying bitterly, pointing at Meng Cheng with hatred on her face and saying:
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the daughter of the people wants to sue Magistrate Meng Cheng. The daughter of the people is named Zhou. She was originally from the Zhou family, a big family in the capital city. Because our Zhou family got a treasure map, Meng Cheng became greedy and asked us to hand it over. Treasure map, the treasure map was obtained by our Zhou family after all the hardships, how can we hand it over!
"Then the Meng family wiped out thousands of members of our Zhou family overnight, and only my brother and I escaped."
"Please, Your Highness, make the decision for us!"
Zhou Qiong's face was full of hatred, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely.
When the densely packed people around heard their grievances, they looked at the faces of Zhou Wanting and Zhou Qiong and exclaimed:
"It's really the eldest lady of the Zhou family and Mr. Zhou!"
"After the Zhou family was wiped out, we were still wondering what caused the Zhou family to be wiped out overnight!"
One person pointed at Zhou Wanting and sighed:
"I still remember the response from the government was that it was unknown and the investigation was continuing."
"Mo Dan, it turns out it was the prefect who did it. No wonder we still can't investigate it now."
Then the people behind Zhou Wanting and Zhou Qiong complained one after another, suing Meng Cheng and the officials close to him one by one. When they presented the evidence one by one, the officials they sued turned pale. The people learned that they had done Such an outrageous thing happened, and his face became increasingly angry.
"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"
The ground shook, and three thousand iron-blooded cavalry full of evil spirits quickly came here, led by Zhong Lizei.
The smell of blood left on the battlefield made the surrounding people fearful and avoid them, making way for them.
Holding out his silver armor and wearing a menacing look, Zhongli Mei dismounted his horse and strode forward, reporting to Li Yuan:
"Your Highness, Commander Yuan of the capital city has been executed. In order not to disturb the people, there are still five thousand cavalry waiting outside the city gate."
"very good!"
Li Yuan, who had been quietly listening to the people's grievances, saw Zhong Lizhen arriving. He finally looked at Meng Cheng and other officials and said coldly to them:
"Meng Cheng, what they told is the truth, you are guilty!"
boom!
Zhong Lizhen's eyes flashed, and the evil energy of the three thousand cavalry behind him erupted, covering them instantly.
When he learned that Commander Yuan had been defeated, Meng Cheng knew he was finished.
Meng Cheng looked at Li Yuan with hatred in his eyes, pointed at Li Yuan above and said angrily:
"Li Yuan, don't be complacent. Someone will avenge my Meng family. If you kill me, Meng..."
"Bold,"
Zhong Lizhen let out an angry cry, and flashed the silver spear in his hand. A cold light passed over Meng Cheng, and his huge head took off instantly.
Boom!
Meng Cheng's head fell to the ground, and blood sprayed on the officials behind him. Their faces were pale and they did not dare to move at all, lowering their heads tremblingly.
Meng Cheng dared to scold Li Yuan because everyone in the Meng family was dead, but there were still family members behind them...
I heard that the King of Chu has always been kind, if possible he could let them leave the incense.
