Chapter 110 Thousands of Cavalry Confuses the South of the River
It was the same Dahua cavalry, but it was a little different from the ordinary Dahua cavalry. In Shipei Town, hundreds of cavalry came, and the horsemen were tied with a narrow-blade finger guard sabre that was not Dahua's standard, but everyone was not equipped with a longbow or cavalry crossbow with Dahua basic configuration. However, some cavalrymen hung a strange steel gun on their shoulders. Muskets were already very common in Dahua. However, this kind of gun barrel was not long and the support was very strange, with a square bottom, which made people see the difference at a glance. Moreover, any cavalry with steel guns also carried a leather shoulder bag. Experienced would guess that this should be an ammunition bag containing gunpowder jars and projectiles.
One hundred cavalry is not too many, even though the outfit is a bit strange, it is not too special. However, after a while, another hundred cavalry whistled by, and more than a dozen waves passed, which was quite extraordinary. Many people began to talk curiously, and some even started betting on the roadside, betting on how many teams would pass today, or what they were going to do. In this Jiangnan area, near Yingtian Prefecture, what happened to make these Dahua cavalry mobilize such a large number of troops.
Zhuo Bufan was in the last group, and the president Bai Bing and deputy commander Xing Tianhu were with him. Zhou Tong was naturally there, and Xiao Shitou was also with him. Xiao Shitou is now the leader of the squad, and he led the direct communication squad of the Dragon Knight to be responsible for the upload and delivery of the command center. According to his words, he can now find a butt ball to kick.
These more than two thousand iron cavalry suddenly appeared like foreign tourists. From Xuzhou City, Fengyang Prefecture to Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, the Jiangnan and North Pass, quickly attracted the attention of all parties.
Luzhou Prefecture first learned the news. However, since it was a Dahua cavalry, and although he was patrolling the highway, he did not make any extraordinary moves. The governor of Luzhou Song Jian comforted the local departments that he urgently reported, but at the same time he was a little annoyed. As a local official, he still didn't know where the troops belonged and what they were going to do. No one gave him a message. The local health department was absolutely impossible. It was good that those agricultural reclamation soldiers could fill their stomachs, so they didn't have the spirit. Then it was the troops of Yingtian Prefecture garrison, and they didn't hear any war. It was probably just a daily drill. Thinking of the bureaucrats in Yingtian Prefecture, Song Jian was so angry that those people were even more capable than the princes and nobles of Shuntian Prefecture. So he didn't care about them, as long as he stopped making trouble on his own territory.
The left-behind ministers in Yingtian Prefecture are the whole team. They are backups of the capital, but in fact they are just like the emperor. These individuals are all the crooked melons, pears, dates, and thorns that the emperor doesn't like. But these left-behind ministers don't think so. They discuss things every day, and they are all very well-known. Of course, what they can discuss is just some trivial matters in Yingtian Prefecture. However, the topic of this day has some meaning, and a fierce cavalry comes out.
Now, I don’t know which piece of troops it is around Yingtian Prefecture. The left-behind ministers discussed for a while but had no conclusion. They wanted to check it out. Unfortunately, there was no military force in the backup capital. It would be good if Yingtian Prefecture Guard could manage the public security in the city. As for the nearby provinces, the government departments were nominally managed by local governments, but the power to mobilize and use was usually in the hands of the provincial governor or vassal kings. Yingtian Prefecture did not have any military power.
As for the local governments, the ones who are most afraid of fighting are those who usually hold hoes to serve in the army. If there is no military order, as long as they don’t fight into their own camp, who will care about these bird affairs?
In this way, the local government office looked at the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War looked at the Ministry of War. How could the Ministry of War know about your affairs thousands of miles away? Zhuo Bufan's soldiers and horses were naturally rampant and unobstructed.
The search has entered the second day. Early on that day, just as dawn, Zhuo Bufan was riding his horse on the Jiangnan area covered with paddy fields and ditches. Behind him were Xiao Shitou and a personal guard composed of hundreds of veterans. Bai Bing and Xing Tianhu had separated from him and personally led the first and second battalions to search. Zhuo Bufan was anxious to bite people, so how dare everyone be neglected.
Racing his horse to a small hill, Zhuo Bufan looked at the fields and villages in the morning mist in front of him, feeling anxious. He knew that a net of nearly a hundred miles was now cast around him, but he also knew that it was too few to find three people in this densely populated Jiangnan area. After a trip to Yanmen Pass in Shanxi, he was completely disappointed with the administration of Dahua. The people could only seek blessings for themselves. Something was so changeable. It was better to kowtow in the temple than to rely on the government. It was because of this that he was so anxious. If it were a prosperous era, or an era where at least the administration was normal, he would always find it. However, in this place, the government could smuggle food and grass, and the troops guarding the gates could sell humans. Waiting for death was to die.
The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and a fast horse rushed to the distance. In the distance, another horse was rushing towards him.
This is the notification every half day of the first and second battalions. With a hint of hope, Zhuo Bufan saw the horses of the battalion jumped off the horse and bowed to report: "Report to the general, the battalion has turned to the northern line, and no discovery has occurred." A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. Zhuo Bufan sighed: "I understand, I confess to General, and proceed as planned. Camp in Baitou Mountain, Fengyang Prefecture tonight." The horses bowed and saluted, and then jumped away. At the same time, the horses of the second battalion had already arrived, but they did not find anything.
Looking at the two riders who were leaving, Zhuo Bufan sighed. He had searched for a small half of the range he had designated. More than two thousand people had searched for nearly two days, but he still did not find the whereabouts of Fu Wansheng's master and Zhuo Er. Zhou Tong behind him also looked anxious and whispered: "Young Master, it's all my fault, that sweating medicine..." As a senior bodyguard, it's really embarrassing to fall into this despicable trick in the world. It doesn't matter if he is embarrassed. He tried his best to rescue the young master, which is considered to be atonement for his sins. However, now he lost his future mistress, and there is Zhuo Er. Zhuo Bufan's feelings for Fu Wansheng are unknown, but he can still not know the way. Now he is naturally extremely regretful.
Zhuo Bufan waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about the past. I just want to know now that the journey south of Fengyang is calm and there is money there. Zhuo Er should have arrived. Where can this girl go? Let's go to the town below." Zhuo Bufan now has no ordinary and relaxed usual, because no matter how he looks, Fu Wansheng and his party must have encountered some changes. This makes these three living people evaporated like the world.
More than a hundred cavalrymen were like wind blowing fallen leaves, whistling down the hills, and rushed into the small town at the foot of the mountain unstoppable.
