Chapter 581 Unparalleled Cavalry (Part 1)
Zhou Weiqing learned from Crescent Moon City officials that after Crecy occupied the entire Tiangong Empire, he increased the tax burden significantly, causing complaints from civilians and merchants. , but under high pressure, there is no way to resist. This is also an important reason why Xianyue City seemed relatively calm after learning about the Tiangong Empire's counterattack.
As Zhou Weiqing promulgated these orders, the civilians in Xianyue City gradually calmed down and finally dared to go out. Qiu Wuji of the Wushuang Division left an excellent impression on them. .
By the time the Cressy Empire received the news and reinforcements arrived, it was already three days later. In three days, although Zhou Weiqing could not completely control the entire city, he at least managed to restore the city to normal operation. Of course, this was only within the city. The city gates were still closed and no one was allowed to leave the city.
The City Lord's Mansion has now become Zhou Weiqing's temporary official residence. As for Princess Difuya, Zhou Weiqing has left it to Xiao Yan to take care of her. As long as this woman does not interfere with his actions, he will not bother to care.
"Commander, a division of the Cressy Empire has been stationed 30 kilometers outside the south gate of Crescent Moon City, and may attack the city at any time." Kou Rui brought the latest news.
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: "I understand, Kou Rui, take a few brothers out and investigate carefully to see if the other party really has only one division coming."
"Yes." Kou Rui led His life is gone.
At this time, in this meeting hall, in addition to Zhou Weiqing, Shangguan Xue'er, Tian'er, Lin Tianao, Lei Zi, Wu Wu, Ma Qun and several Zhou Weiqing people headed by Yan Zhexi The top students in the class gather here.
Zhou Weiqing looked at Yan Zhexi, "Zhexi, what do you think of the current situation?"
Yan Zhexi said: "Judging from the current situation, the Cressy Empire should come to help. There is only one division. After all, the total strength of Crecy is only ten divisions, and they have to be dispersed. Our attack must be very unexpected to them, and due to the news blockade. In time, they should not know how many troops we have here, so there is no need to worry about other reinforcements. What we have to do now is to wait for the arrival of the Feili Empire's supply troops. Captain, should we start? Recruiting? Although our army is extremely powerful, it only has 700 people. If the enemy attacks from multiple directions, it will be very difficult for us to resist once the troops are divided. I suggest recruiting mainly unparalleled warriors to lead the new troops. Carry out city-wide defense."
Listening to Zhexi's clear and coherent words, Zhou Weiqing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your suggestion is very good, but the current people's sentiment is not suitable for recruiting troops. I am definitely not as good as you in commanding the army, but you should pay attention to one thing, that is the public sentiment. To put it simply, if you are a civilian now and suddenly your city is captured by a group of soldiers, even if these soldiers originally belong to this city. Yes, will you be willing to join the army without being sure that they have a future and can always protect the safety of this city? The enemy's reinforcements are coming, and it is time for us to give confidence to the civilians of Crescent Moon City."
Listening to Zhou Weiqing's words, Yan Zhexi nodded thoughtfully, "Captain, what should we do?" In terms of academics, even Zhou Weiqing couldn't compare to him, but after all, he had never really embarked on a career On the battlefield, what is most needed is actual combat experience, to test and integrate what you have learned through actual combat.
Zhou Weiqing said confidently: "Leizi, take people to invite two hundred civilian representatives to come out. If they can't be invited, they will be captured. Take them to the top of the city to watch the battle, but remember not to hurt them. "It's best to have these civilian representatives from all walks of life. Crows and horses, it's time for you to show your strength. If I let you lead two squadrons to attack the opponent's entire division, do you dare?"
Ma Qun laughed and said: "Boss, can our two squadrons share more of what we grabbed this time?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said: "Okay, you two squadrons will be divided into 40%, and the rest will belong to the remaining 500 brothers. I want you to bring out the morale of our unparalleled division and go on a rampage. You two will be able to direct what you do." But remember, you must not rush into the opponent's camp in case there is an ambush. At the same time, you must save your strength to rush back. I will let the archers cover you in this battle to show our prestige and defeat the enemy. "
Ma Qun patted his chest and said, "Boss, leave it to us. Since our unparalleled cavalry was formed, we haven't faced any tough battles, isn't it just a division? It's impossible, but killing seven into seven is not a big problem."
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and prepare."
The horses and crows strode away, Zhou Weiqing looked at the others with a smile and said: "Let's go, brothers, follow me to the top of the city."
Yan Zhexi couldn't help it anymore, "Captain , Are you going to let Ma Qun and the others go into battle? The other party has a division!"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "No matter how many ants there are, they can't kill the elephant, even though we have an unparalleled division. The total strength of the army is currently less than the number of an integrated division, but I have never noticed these miscellaneous fish like Cressy. Just wait and see, this time on the top of the city, you will witness it with your own eyes. The fighting power of the double cavalry. I will make the Cressi people fear our unrivaled division." Zhou Weiqing said the last sentence firmly. He really hated the Cressi people. They invaded his home and forced his father to commit suicide. As his cultivation deepened, Zhou Weiqing became more and more aware of the cost of the move his father used. Perhaps, he would be able to lift the seal in the future, but as the releaser of the fatal seal, even Long Shiya was not sure he could keep Marshal Zhou alive.
This is also one of the important reasons why Zhou Weiqing made good friends with the Tianxie Cult. The core of the Tianxie Cult has the attribute of life. With Tian'er's divine attribute, he might be able to save his father's life at that time, but If you want to help your father take good care of his body, you also need the assistance of life attributes. Even if this was the only reason, Zhou Weiqing would never turn against the Tianxie Cult.
Zhou Weiqing himself is not an ambitious person. He can even be said to be lazy. His achievements today are actually more due to the pressure from various aspects, especially the destruction of the Tiangong Empire. It had a huge impact on him.
Lei Zi's work efficiency is still very high. When Zhou Weiqing allowed him to use violent methods, his first group of five hundred ruffians were released and the task was exceeded in a short period of time. Not long after Zhou Weiqing and others boarded the city, At least three to four hundred people were captured by Lei Zi and his men and brought to the top of the city.
“Boss, the mission is accomplished.” Lei Zi chuckled and approached Zhou Weiqing.
Zhou Weiqing glanced at him and said: "You have more than 200 people, right? Let the brothers come to the top of the city, one of them is responsible for you to bring these people, and make sure they open their eyes to see After everything happened outside the city, tell them who is from our Wushuang Division and be prepared to respond to Ma Qun and others at any time."
Lei Zi said with some displeasure: "Boss, why don't you let us go! Isn't there just one division? Let them fly a kite to death."
Zhou Weiqing said: "Flying a kite does not have a strong visual impact. What's more, if something happens to you, do you expect the speed of the heavy cavalry to rescue you? "
"Yes."
Yan Zhexi has been following Zhou Weiqing, looking at the enemy troops stationed in the distance, and murmured: "Captain, if we really have enough combat power to proactively attack the enemy, we can indeed avoid being attacked by the enemy from multiple directions. Embarrassing."
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Yes, that's my purpose. We won't need to be so embarrassed when our army arrives."
Yan Zhexi said: "The recruitment has been completed. The Tiangong Empire is indeed what the people want. Although many people are still skeptical, there are still some people who have recognized our identity and are willing to help us fight against the Crexi Empire. Some even came to join the army on their own initiative, which is why I mentioned the recruitment to you before.”
Zhou Weiqing said: "There is no rush to recruit troops. We will wait until the situation here is completely stable. I want every resident of Xianyue City to know that not only is the Tiangong Empire back, but it has also brought a powerful army. Cressy's army cannot compete. Only when they have enough confidence and truly recognize us will Crescent Moon City have cohesion. The time of return has been much earlier than I expected. I am not anxious at all and will take my time. This is the best strategy.”
It didn’t take long, and all the preparations were in place. Five hundred unparalleled archers gathered on the city wall and lined up. The civilians who were brought up had no idea what they were going to do. Feeling uneasy and even physically trembling, he was guarded by these archers wearing titanium alloy armor.
“Call the horses and crows to form an array outside the city.”
The city gate opened, and two hundred unparalleled cavalry rushed out of the city. A small city like Xianyue City does not have a moat, and naturally there is no suspension bridge. The civilians on the top of the city watched the majestic bodies appear one by one. Outside the city, they couldn't help but feel a little dazed. They had stood for a long time and naturally saw the Crecy Empire army stationed in the distance. Those soldiers wearing heavy armor were too strong, they were just like steel sculptures. , and their war horses, how come they have wings! It was so huge that even the war horses were covered with armor. Is this a heavy cavalry? That's not right.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing’s voice sounded on the top of the city.
