Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 22

The three hundredth household, the city.

As soon as the city gate opened, a team was seen coming from a distance.

All of them are cavalry, and all of them are tall horses.

Dust evaporates under the sunshine.

The guards at the city gate suddenly became nervous, closed the gate hastily, and pulled up the drawbridge.

At the top of the city, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping.

At the gate of the city, there was originally a group of refugees gathered, which looked like hundreds of people.

They all scattered one after another and fled far away.

"What's going on here? Seeing us coming, why did you close the gate of the city? Did there happen to be bandits?"

When Niu Dali mentioned the bandits, his eyes were bright, he stood upright with his feet on the stirrups, and looked around.

"I'm afraid it's not that there are bandits. They're guarding against us." Zhao Cheng smiled.

He came to claim credit this time and brought Zhao Fei and ten pier soldiers with him.

On the other side of Huoludun, Zhao Chunfa and other five supervisors remained.

Zhao Chunfa and others have also experienced the flames of war, and they are considered veteran players.

There are also dozens of long-term workers, each wearing chain mail and machetes...

This combat power is enough to instantly kill most of the hundred households.

So Zhao Cheng was absolutely relieved to let them stay behind.

Bringing enough men is also to play a demonstration role.

This time, it wasn't just ten pier soldiers who were traveling together.

There are also several long-term workers driving four Sharmas.

Every two Sharmas pull a four-wheeled cart.

Don't underestimate the four-wheeled vehicle, the technical content is very high.

How to link the four wheels at the same time, and how to turn... This alone makes it hard for many craftsmen to die.

These two four-wheeled carriages were both freight carts, one carrying a dozen corpses, and the other carrying a cart of grain.

"Who is under the city? Don't get any closer! If you get any closer, I'm going to shoot an arrow!"

As soon as he approached the city gate, someone shouted from the top of the city.

"Hey! Is this the Baihusuo? It's so useless! We didn't do anything to scare them like this?" Some pier soldiers mocked.

Everyone has a bit of contempt.

In the past, in their eyes, where the hundred households were located, it was high above them.

They were all in awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Now... Seeing the other party's fear and fear of them, the awe in my heart disappeared immediately.

Zhao Cheng was amused when he saw this.

This is exactly what he wanted to achieve.

His soldiers must not be in awe of the imperial army.

Don't say it's just the soldiers of Baihusuo, even facing the general soldiers of Xuanfu Town, or even facing the emperor...you must be able to stand upright and lift the gun in your hand.

Based on what Zhao Cheng has done, it will be a matter of time before he becomes an enemy of the imperial court.

Now the foundation has to be laid little by little.

Zhao Cheng signaled, and Liu Fei rode forward.

Liu Fei didn't collect at night, so he knew how to ride and shoot.

Even according to the booklet registered by the imperial court, he should be equipped with a war horse.

It's just that Qiangdi Huodun is far away from the northern line, and there is not much pressure on combat readiness, so he was corrupted by the above.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, military households were very serious about eating empty wages, not only eating empty wages from people, but also eating empty wages from horses...

In the past few days, after Liu Fei got this Budyonny horse, he liked it very much. Except for walking practice time, he almost grew it on the horse's back.

Even when she was sleeping, she wished she could ride a horse to sleep...

His riding skills are very good.

Now, on the one hand, it is to show off in front of Zhao Cheng.

On the other hand, it is also to give Zhao Xiaoqi a long face and show off in front of people like Baihusuo.

Therefore, the horse galloped over at an extremely fast speed, and only when it reached the base of the city did it suddenly rein in the reins.

Howling!
The war horse neighed, and its front hooves flew into the air.

Liu Fei was wearing a brand new mandarin duck battle robe, with a machete on his back, and the stirrups and saddles were all very exquisite.Next to the horse's belly, there is a firecracker.

This time, it was so beautiful that the scalp tingled.

So handsome!
Liu Fei pointed at the top of the wall with the whip in his hand.

"Listen in the city, we are Qiangdi Huludun Zhao Xiaoqi and his party, who have made meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, and here we come to ask for credit for Lord Baihu! Open the gate of the city quickly!"

Liu Fei's voice was loud and full of energy.

At the top of the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city whispered and discussed.

Finally, a small flag officer stood up.

He was wearing a tattered mandarin duck battle jacket, which could no longer be seen from his original appearance.

This is still the little flag officer!

"Under the city, you say it's Zhao Xiaoqi from Qiangdihuodun? Are you kidding us? Can Qiangdihuodun have such awe and prestige as you?"

"Lao Yang! It's me! Liu Fei! I used to accompany Mr. Wang to the city, don't you know me?" Liu Fei called out to the little flag officer.

There was another commotion in the city.

"It's Liu Fei! Oh my god! Why is Liu Fei dressed so decently?"

"The one in the back is Zhao Cheng! Two days ago, Zhao Cheng just went to seek the little banner officer, I saw it!"

"The one in the back is also from Qiangdihuodun. I forgot what it's called! My daughter-in-law is from Qiangdi. I saw it when I went back to my mother's house. I know someone, but I don't know her name!"

"It is said that Zhao Xiaoqi from Huoludun in Qiangdi is rich, and he rode a big horse when he entered the city last time. How come everyone in Qiangdi is so rich?"

"What kind of horse are they? This is too tall!"

"There seems to be a dead body in the carriage!"

"..."

People talked a lot, but no one opened the door.

"Liu Fei, wait a minute! I don't dare to open the city gate for you without permission. I'll go and ask Zhang Baihu for instructions. This is my duty, so don't blame me!"

The little flag officer spoke very politely.

The main reason is that Liu Fei looks too imposing now.

Someone turned to report.

After about an incense stick, Zhang Wei came.

With a few servants and some strong men.

"Did we scare Mr. Baihu like this? It seems Mr. Baihu is not so scary!" Niu said, scratching the back of his head vigorously.

"Hahaha!" All the piers burst into laughter.

Even the two grooms who drove the four-wheeled carriage were quite proud.

"So many people? I'm afraid it's a scam! They said they beat the bandits. Could it be that they were beaten by the bandits and pretended to be them to scam the city?" Zhang Wei was very cautious.

As a member of his family, he thinks a lot about greed for life and fear of death.

"Li Gaoyi, you have been to Qiangdi! Look, is it them?" Zhang Wei pulled Li Gaoyi over.

Li Gaoyi built a pergola with his hands, squinted his eyes, looked carefully, and nodded:

"It's Zhao Cheng! You can't be wrong! This tall horse belongs to them! It's just that I didn't expect that they had so many of them. Moreover, the two ends at the back are so tall!"

"Are they really here to ask for credit? Li Gaoyi, let's put a hanging basket down first, you go and have a look." Zhang Wei waved his hand.

Li Gaoyi's face froze.

This Zhang Baihu is really greedy for life and afraid of death!
Moreover, isn't this taking his life for nothing?

In case the other party is not someone from Qiangdihuodun, but a bandit pretending to be...

Li Gaoyi went down, can he survive?

But he eats Zhang Wei's food and dare not be disobedient.
