Chapter 92: Breakthrough
Freshly dressed and angry horses, Xiao Yan specially dressed up the 500 cavalry with armor and bright guns. It's really like a tiger and a horse like a dragon.
The shadow of the mutiny is still there. Although many soldiers and horses from other places have entered the city in recent days, they are all gray. Although people are not decadent, they are not so ostentatious.
When the officers and soldiers defending the city were puzzled, the whirlwind-like group of people had arrived in front of them. With a neat horse hiss, the soldier and horse had neatly stopped under the city, just a few feet away from the gate.
The cavalry's movements were neat, like infantry. At that time, it was really not there. Suddenly, the guards guarding the city and several people who entered and left the city looked sideways, and they all speculated about where the soldiers and horses were.
The leader of the city was a seven-grade gate leader. Seeing this, he did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly trotted out of the city and came to the front.
Everyone who guards the city knows, especially the gate guard of the capital. There are more than eight shallow kings in these places. Maybe any immortals once they offend, they can't handle it by themselves.
The gate leader came in front of him and looked up at the cavalry. Without a flag, he could not distinguish the army, so he had to ask, but his words were very respectful: "If you dare to ask the officer where the soldiers and horses are, the court has an order to have a transfer of the Ministry of War if there are more than 100 people."
"Xiao Yan and Yue Lin were at the front. Looking at the respectful gate leader under the horse, they did not embarrass him. Seeing that the head of the city was about 40 years old, they said with a smile, "This big brother, I am Xiao Yan, the commander of the Jiankang garrison."
"All commanding Xiao Yan." The leader of the city was thrilled. Fortunately, he had a long look. With a thousand people to recover Xiao Yan, his name was unknown. So he was more respectful: "General Xiao's name has been heard for a long time, but he still needs the order of the Ministry of War."
Xiao Yan was stunned. Although the gate leader was respectful, he did not mean to let Xiao Yan in.
When Xiao Yan was meditating.
"But the general's reputation is far-reaching, and the small one can pass it on to the boss." The gate leader said.
Xiao Yan nodded, and the gate leader said, "Sorry, please wait a moment." He hurried back and ran to the gate, but his movements were light.
Xiao Yan turned to Yue Lin and said, "I didn't expect a city gate leader to be good."
Yue Lin was also a general. She has been in the barracks for a long time. Most of the martial arts husbands have been in contact with him. She has a good vision. She nodded and said, "The pace is vigorous. She should be from the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, but..." Yue Lin paused for a moment and said, "Why are you guarding the door?"
Xiao Yan didn't answer to look at Ma Rouji on this side.
Ma Rouji smiled brightly: "I don't know him either. He should be some non-commissioned soldiers in the forbidden army. He was arranged here when he was a little older."
"Interesting." Xiao Yan answered a sentence inexplicably.
"The general is optimistic about this person. I'll ask someone." Ma Rouji saw Xiao Yan's thoughts.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded.
The door leader also moved quickly. He came back soon. His face was slightly red. He could see that he was running back and forth all the way, but he was not out of breath, but his forehead was slightly sweaty. Xiao Yan sighed secretly, "There are still some talents in the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, but it's a pity that the court did not act."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan accepted it, took the lead in saying something, turned around and got off the horse and came to the gate leader.
The gate leader didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so kind. He hurriedly said, "General Xiao is polite. The duty of humble position is." The words are still respectful, but they are never arrogant or humble: "The general still needs to wait for a moment, and Commander Wu will come in a moment."
Xiao Yan heard that it was nothing. After Xiao Yan dismantated, Ma Rouji also followed him, but he did not come forward. At this time, when he heard the gate leader say about Commander Wu, his eyes couldn't help restrained and asked, "That Commander Wu?"
When the leader of the city gate heard Ma Rouji's question, he looked at it in a blink of an eye and said, "Wu Zhan, the former commander of the palace guard."
Ma Rouji knew that the gate leader recognized him and ignored him. Hearing him say that Wu Zhan was shocked, and then he stood quietly behind Xiao Yan without saying anything.
Xiao Yan knew that there must be a reason why Ma Rouji had this question, and he also vaguely knew that the guards in the palace had collusion with Miao Fu. He said with a smile, "Brother, go ahead. We'll wait here." Say hello to Ma Rouji to get on the horse.
Seeing that the gate leader looked back hesitantly and walked towards the gate, Ma Rouji turned sideways to Xiao Yan and said something softly. Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Seeing that Xiao Yan did not say anything, Ma Rouji did not say much, but waited as quietly as Xiao Yan.
Wu Zhan arrived quickly. After a while, there was a crisp horseshoe sound in the city. The three of them rushed out of the city. As soon as they came out of the gate, they stopped in front of Xiao Yan. Quietly looked at the troops in front of him.
After Miao and Liu escaped, Wu Zhan was shocked, especially when he fell from the palace to the outer city. He always felt that a disaster was coming, but there was self-comfort. Maybe the emperor didn't find it. Today, when I was patrolling the city, I had to report that someone was going to bring troops into the city, so I came out to have a look.
"The court regulations show that no more than 50 foreign generals can enter Beijing at most. It's really difficult for generals the subordinates to lead such a large number of horses!" Wu Zhan said first when he saw that Xiao Yan didn't say anything.
After listening to Ma Rouji's words, Xiao Yan wanted to find trouble and couldn't help snorting coldly: "Then get out of the way. I'm responsible for everything."
Wu Zhan was stunned. Why did this man do this? The two behind him shouted, "Bold, even today's General Liu should be respectful when he enters the city. This is under the feet of the emperor. Are you going to rebel?"
"Where did this come from?" Xiao Yan was looking for fault and stretched out his hand.
Although Wu Zhan has been careful these days, after staying with the emperor for a long time, his arrogance has only been restrained, but it is not without it. He felt that his words were polite. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was so arrogant that he directly accused himself of being a dog, and he couldn't help but be angry.
His face turned pale and said coldly, "The last general is ordered to act. The general is going to enter the city. Please take out the order of the army, otherwise it will be difficult to obey."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and was about to enter the city. This is also what he has heard of Xiao Yan's reputation, otherwise he would have scolded loudly.
Xiao Yan was originally here to find fault. Seeing that Wu Zhan didn't take fault and wanted to leave, he thought that there could be such a good thing. With a wave of his horse, more than 500 people rushed into the city like lightning. Wu Zhan and the two attendants were shocked and almost fell off their horses. A group of gate guards and Wu Zhan came back to their senses and watched the gallop. Xiao Yan, who went, didn't know what was wrong. Wu Zhan's face turned red, and his chest was full of anger.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Chasing!" The horse ran in the direction of Xiao Yan's far away.
