Chapter 548: 【殃 和 城门】

Chapter 548 [The Gate and the City Gate]
Hasting smiled, but let Xia say nothing, and did not answer.
The caravan went all the way east, going south first, and then east. Although it is not a war zone along the way, it is also a place for warlords to segregate. The more you go southeast, the atmosphere becomes more tense. The towns and cities along the way, the local warlord's army, the more closely guarded. However, although the investigation was strict, it still did not cause real obstruction to this caravan.
The old Adelaide quietly explained to Charlie: "If there is a chaos today, if the warlords in these places want to continue their secession, they will need the support of the chambers of commerce on the mainland. At least, the military materials, equipment, grain, and other strategies Reserves would not have been possible without the help of the major chambers of commerce in the world, so the warlords in these places, although harsh and harsh, would not dare to go too far if they encountered the teams of these first-class big business groups. Embarrassing others. "
After a pause, whispered: "So we small families, if we want to survive in this troubled time, we can only rely on these large business groups, and pay some partners for money, and ask for peace."
Just like this, about ten days later, this day has entered the eastern area of ​​the Byzantine Empire and arrived in the important town of Covist military district in the eastern empire. This time, the caravan finally encountered the iron plate. Even if the leader of the top chamber of commerce came forward, the other party refused to buy it.
I saw the team stopped, just in front of it, but it was a small town. This town was between two hillsides, but it was a "angle city". The city was built between the mountains. The gap looks like a checkpoint when viewed from a distance.
The team stopped outside the city, and saw that the gates were half-open and half-closed. The soldiers under the city were fully armed, like the enemy, the leader of the business group in front, and the military management under the gate. After a long negotiation, the other party just shook his head again and again. I saw that the leader stuffed a heavy bag into the officer's hand. The officer turned out, although he looked slightly better, but still shook his head. Although his attitude was much more friendly, he still refused to let it go.
Even if the leader of the caravan pointed at his own firm's trade name and said something soft and hard, the other party's attitude remained the same.
Xia Ya and others watched the excitement from behind, and saw Daddy Ad squeezed back from the front, with a sweat in his face, and kept sighing and shaking his head: "Fuck, it's so unlucky! Say it is the front In order to fight, they have been blocked from passing. Good words are talked about, and money is not useful ... It seems that going out this time is not good, I'm afraid I have to pay a lot.
When Xia listened, he and Hasting glanced at each other, both reading a hint of surprise from each other's eyes.
fight?
What battles can be fought here?
※※※ You must know that this is the eastern part of the empire, and it is still not far from the eastern part of the empire. It can be regarded as the only "land of peace" in the entire Byzantine Empire.
Where is the battle in the Eastern Empire?
It is far away from the capital of the south, Oscaria. The battle for the defense of the capital of Oscaria never affected this place.
And the Odin invasion in the north was far from hitting this place.
In the Great Southern Rebellion that followed, the Duke of Minas rebelled southward, but it was far south.
In the eastern part of the empire, there are only a few large-scale second-ranking warlords' military district governors. The forces say that they are big or small, but they are just shouting in the red round table.
Several warlord forces in the vicinity are speaking of a red round table and a party, and there is no major hatred between each other, especially in today's season, knowing that everyone has a way to live ... to fight? Who fights who?
Charlie and Hastings, one is the empire's number one champion today, and the other is the enemy's number one general who has been trying to worship Byzantine Empire for half his life. He is naturally well aware of the current situation. When he heard the news, he immediately felt wrong. Already.
It stands to reason that there should never be any war in the east.
At this moment the caravan has stopped, and the merchants at the back of the team saw that the road was blocked, and they sent their men to inquire about the news, and that Adelaide was no exception. After a while, the people in front of the survey came back to report. Dad, when he heard it, turned pale, sighed and kept crying. He cried, "I lost my money, this time It's a home! "
You should know that this time when he traveled for business, he took less than half of his family's property and put it on these trucks. The toll plus the cost of the goods, plus the security deposit for joining the caravan was already a huge burden— —If you arrive in the Holy City safely and make a profit from the transaction, you will naturally make a lot of money, but now you are blocked halfway, you must not go forward. If you go back to Kalan City, the freight and partner security for this trip are naturally All of them were thrown into the water, and so many cars were held in my hand, where could they be digested?
Of the forces of the Byzantine Empire, very few were able to develop cavalry of this size.
And when the cavalry ran closer, people were able to see their banner and dress, and it was even more surprising.
It is the uniform of the Byzantine Empire Central Army!
The cavalry is a double horse or even a three horse, this configuration can be called a luxury. The cavalry's outfit is also a black-striped cavalry armor that can only be configured by the Central Army, a small left-handed shield, a right-handed rifle, and a common saber hanging on the saddle.
Central Army, this is standard equipment for the cavalry of the Central Army of the Byzantine Empire!
Seeing the eastern part of the Empire, which was already under the control of the warlords, suddenly a large group of cavalry of the Central Army appeared, and everyone was shocked.
But there was no surprise on his face, but it was only a bit weird, but it was our Uncle Charia.
※ ※ ※ This cavalry is still far away, the city defense has slammed the warning horn frantically, and the army on the city wall is tensely assembled.
And the caravan under the city has stopped. At this moment, they are only a few hundred meters away from the city wall. This distance is not close or far away. It is impossible to enter the city and leave.
If the two sides fight, the first caravan to suffer is this caravan!
Both the merchants and the mercenaries have instantly understood this principle. Many people have become pale, and only those mercenaries are still holding their arms barely, but each one obviously has not much original spirit.
That cavalry from afar, Lao Yuan also found such a strange team under the city-such a caravan formed a fence under the city with a carriage, which is naturally extremely eye-catching.
The cavalry team saw from a distance, and soon came a number of bugles. Xia Ya heard the natural recognition that it was the command of the cavalry march of the Imperial Central Army. After a short while, the cavalry slowed down and stopped at After a long distance, after rebuilding the team, he stared at the caravan under the city.
The scene was weird. I guess the cavalry probably did not expect such a weird situation.
They stormed the city and did not expect to come here. There was actually such a caravan stationed outside the city.
And here in the caravan, half of the leaders of the leading merchants were already fainted. Seeing that the cavalry stopped, the leader of the chamber of commerce did not dare to make any response from his men. This situation is delicate. If there is any action on your own side that causes the other party to misunderstand for hostility, then it is suicide!
Don't look at yourself there are hundreds of young men with weapons here, but when encountering this kind of regular Central Army cavalry, in case the opponent takes his own sword, this miscellaneous brand Wuhe encounters professional elites, and they can be in a moment. Clean up this person!
Fortunately, the main house of the caravan, since the big chamber of commerce is a giant holding the flag of the Holy City, the leader sent naturally to lead the team is not mediocre, and soon made the most correct response: send someone to their own The commercial flag hung high. Immediately opened the enclosure, and rode out of the horse in person, long distance raised his hands, signaled that he had no weapons, and approached the cavalry team opposite.
He also knew the rules. He took the initiative to turn over and get off the horse from the cavalry team, and walked up and down. The two cavalry greeted him and searched him up and down ~ EbookFREE.me ~. The team, the leader of the caravan, was taken to a big figure surrounded by the cavalry, and kneeled down to tell something.
After a while, he was released, and Yuan Yuan waved his hands high at the place. Here at the caravan, several head figures staying at the place were relieved when they saw his gestures.
It's safe now.
The cavalry separated from a squadron and soon forced the siege of the caravan, so they drove away quickly from the station, away from the city defense, while the cavalry team stood by and watched at all times. Relax.
Charlie in the team looked at it and whispered a smile: "It's okay, we didn't use us as cannon fodder, we still have a conscience. It seems that we will start playing."
Hastings listened, opened his eyes and glanced at the cavalry not far away, sneered, and then closed his eyes again. He is the warrior of Odin. He is an invincible general and does not know how many elite Byzantine empires have been destroyed. Among the empire ’s Central Army, it can be said that all but the Rhoderian cavalry of the past are all his Hess Ting's men defeated!
Although this Central Army cavalry is majestic, where will it be seen by Hastings?
