LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65 Just Kill Them
Hanyang City is the core of the northern border.
Therefore, the city wall is eighty meters high and twelve meters wide, enough to accommodate three carriages passing side by side.
There is a defender every ten meters on the city wall, as is the wall facing the city.
In this way, everything inside and outside the city can be clearly detected.
Moreover, special watchtowers are set up at the four corners of the four walls of Hanyang City.
Through the watchtower, you can clearly see the situation 10,000 meters away, and you can also issue an early warning if an enemy invades.
Lu Fan paced and inspected at the North City Gate while listening to Qin Qiong and Xia Houwei introduce the general situation of the defenders.
With the introduction of the two people, he also gained some understanding of this information.
There are two armies in Hanyang City, namely the guards guarding the city wall and the patrol guards.
Because of the special geographical location of the northern border, the three major city guard armies, including Hanyang City, are composed of the reserves of the Zhenbei Army.
There are 3,200 guards in Hanyang City, evenly distributed on the four walls.
There are 800 people on each city wall, and the 800 people are divided into two groups to guard the city wall in rotation.
"If there is an enemy attack on the city, most of the guards will mobilize to the wall under attack..."
Listening to Qin Qiong's extremely detailed introduction, Lu Fan nodded slightly and said, "How many patrol guards are there?"
"Back to my lord, there were originally 1,200 patrol guards, but now there are less than half left."
"Less than half?" Lu Fan suddenly frowned, "What about the other half?"
The guard army is responsible for external affairs, while the patrol guards are responsible for internal affairs. Both are very important.
But now Qin Qiong said that less than half of the patrol guards were left.
"My lord, the members of the patrol guards mainly come from the four major families, and they are equivalent to the guards of the four major families.
Before we came to Hanyang City, patrol guards were basically distributed in the four major urban areas..."
After Qin Qiong briefly told the story, Lu Fan immediately understood the reason, and his eyes became extremely cold.
After all, the previous county guard was too incompetent and colluded with the four major families.
If the Tianwu Dynasty from Mobei came to attack, Hanyang City might not be able to resist it with such a decayed city.
"snort……"
But now the Wang family and the Li family have been destroyed, leaving only the Sun family and the Zhao family.
Although Sun Shenghu and Zhao Tiansheng surrendered to him before, those two guys are dead now.
It is not yet certain what the attitude of the Sun family and the Zhao family is.
While Lu Fan was thinking this, the sentry towers on both sides of the northern city wall sounded the horns of enemy invasion at the same time.
Woo woo woo...
The low sound of the horn echoed in the dark night-shrouded Hanyang City, causing all the common monks in the city to panic.
"What's going on? Did the Mobei Barbarians come over?"
"An enemy is coming to kill you. What should you do? You must hold on to the North City Gate!"
At this moment, the common monks who did not know the situation were all frightened and went out to inquire for information.
On the wall of the North City Gate, Lu Fan stood on the edge of the wall and looked into the distance.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, one can clearly see densely packed figures heading towards the front.
At the front were clearly galloping cavalry, approximately two thousand in number, and at the rear were infantry.
It's just that their formation is disorganized, looking like cattle and horses charging forward haphazardly.
Looking at the more than 10,000 disorganized rebels, Lu Fan couldn't help but shake his head.
Even a person who doesn't understand military strategy can tell that these guys are a mob, not to mention the generals behind them.
Xia Houwei laughed directly: "It's really ridiculous that such a mob dares to rebel."
Just now they thought they were a little disappointed that they couldn't fight.
But after seeing that the long-awaited rebels turned out to be such a rabble, their disappointment suddenly disappeared.
There is nothing to be happy about even if you win against such a rabble.
Under the gaze of Lu Fan and others, more than 10,000 rebels arrived in a chaotic manner hundreds of meters away.
next moment.
Among the rebels hundreds of meters away, a middle-aged man galloped to the city on horseback, waving the broad knife in his hand and shouting:
"People above listen and immediately open the city gate and surrender obediently. Otherwise, your heads will fall to the ground after the city is breached."
Seeing the middle-aged man shouting in the city, Xia Houwei immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"A little fourth-level Condensation Realm dares to shout, Lord, let me kill him."
Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng also had fierce glints in their eyes.
Although this guy was just an ant, his arrogant attitude and words made them feel murderous.
Looking at Xia Houwei who asked for a fight, Lu Fan smiled lightly and said: "Why bother with a bunch of rabble? Just kill them."
Originally, he had some expectations for these rebels.
After all, the stronger the rebels are, the greater their reputation will be after the Golden Fire Cavalry kills them.
But I didn't expect that it was really a bunch of rabble, so there was no need to waste time.
After finishing his words, Lu Fan went directly to the edge of the city wall facing the city and said to Qin Qiong:
"Have someone open the city gate!"
"promise!"
After Qin Qiong bowed and saluted, he immediately shouted: "Open the city gate!"
The fifty guards responsible for opening and closing the city gate did not hesitate at all after hearing the order and immediately opened the city gate mechanism.
Click, click, click...
Along with the sound of the mechanism running, the thick city gate more than ten meters high rumbled open.
The middle-aged man who was shouting outside the city saw that the city gate was really opened, and thought it was done by the insiders.
He immediately waved his sword and shouted excitedly: "Listen to my order, and kill into the city together!"
"Kill!"
Amid the chaotic shouts and killings, more than 10,000 rebels rushed towards the opened city gate without any rules.
The middle-aged man who rode his horse and waved his sword and shouted was the first to rush to the wide-open city gate.
However, when he saw the situation inside the city gate clearly, his face turned extremely pale.
"Quick... run!"
Before the last word was completely shouted out, a sharp arrow flew out from the wide-open city gate.
Puff!
The black sharp arrow went straight into his forehead, and a stream of blood mixed with the black sharp arrow flew out.
Plop...
This fourth-level cultivator of the Condensation Realm was dead before he could make a move, and his body fell under the horse.
The frightened horse neighed and turned around and ran away.
As the horse ran away in fear, a deafening shout of killing broke out from the city gate.
"Kill!"
The moment the shout of killing fell, dense horse hoof sounds rang out one after another, and the golden torrent rushed out from the wide-open city gate.
The 10,000 rebels rushing towards the city gate had not yet reacted to the shock of their general being shot and killed by sharp arrows.
When they saw the golden torrent galloping out on horseback, they were so scared that they turned around and fled, and they didn't even have the courage to fight with it.
"Don't run away... Don't run away..."
One of the middle-aged men in armor waved his long sword and shouted loudly, and killed two fleeing rebels.
However, at this moment, these rebels were directly frightened by the rushing golden fire cavalry, and they became deserters before fighting.
Looking at the middle-aged man who waved his sword to prevent the rebels from escaping.
Lü Chuan, who led a thousand golden fire cavalry to rush out, sneered.
He jumped directly from the horse's back and stepped into the air to kill the rebel general...
