Two hundred and eighty-sixth chapter [The Night of Fei Xue] (seven)(1/2)
Chapter 286 [Night of Snow on Scarlet Snow] (Seven)!
The horse's hooves are urgent!
On the long street, the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau had already set up a long blockade line. And just outside this blockade line, the sound of horse hooves came from the distance of the long street. Then, a group of clearly-armored cavalry drove straight in, galloping past the crowded imperial capital behind the blockade line!
The cavalry armor of Thunder Whip, the lightning-like whip-shaped badge on the chest is particularly eye-catching
The general of the Second Division of Thunder Whip is directly under the cavalry regiment, which is a light cavalry. The cavalry did not have long weapons such as cavalry rifles on their saddles, but the sabers in their hands were shining, which still made the people of the imperial capital along the way unable to open their eyes.
The one who gallops at the forefront of the team is Aker = Rollin.
The middle-aged general of the Luolin family, with a serious and solemn face, was riding his horse, and the cold wind blew on the ends of his hair, and the snow fell on his shoulders was already thicker, but Aker's eyes never changed, but his legs tightly clamped the horse's belly and raised the whip hard!
In any case, there must be no slight mistakes in everything tonight!
Aker frowned, and when the cavalry team rushed to a square closest to the port of the Imperial Capital Pier, he ordered the team to stop.
Aker quickly conveyed the order:
"Murray, you lead the first brigade to block the dock and take over the water gate! From now on, the boards are not allowed to go into the water. If something goes wrong, you jump down and fill in the Lancang Canal!"
"Shake! The second team is handed over to you. You are responsible for putting martial law in the six neighborhoods and setting up military restricted areas!"
"Sir? Six blocks? The second team has only four hundred people..."
"Hmph, I was ordered to take over the city defense, and the public security office will naturally be controlled by us. You can take over the address and accept the patrol team that takes over the public security office! No matter what you do, I only have one result: before dawn, your area will be safe! No matter what happens, no chaos is allowed!"
"Guli! I will give you the third team to you and you will be responsible for patrolling south along Triumph Street. All the sixteen blocks to the south are handed over to you! There are wealthy families there. I just need to take people there to patrol back and forth, just make sure that nothing goes wrong! If something goes wrong, someone dares to trespass or tries to make trouble, you can let go and kill people! Do you understand?!"
"Okay, the Fourth and Fifth Team, and the Cavalry Battalion of the Personal Guards, all follow me! We're going to do a big fight tonight!!"
This direct cavalry regiment is Aker's direct confidant, and he shouted when he heard this! Although many people were also a little nervous and speculated: Foreign troops were transferred into the imperial capital to take over the city defense, such a big change clearly shows that something big will happen!
What's more, General Aker's order was very firm, and he even told them bluntly that if there was a chaos, someone could kill someone else!
God! This is the imperial capital!! The imperial capital!!
However, if you can enter the most elite Thunder Whip Legion, the empire's most elite, you can be selected into the direct cavalry regiment of the division general. There is no soft-skinned person, and each of them is carefully selected elite! Another soldier led by Aker, the general gave the order in this murderous tone, and everyone seemed to have forgotten everything!
The army of tigers and wolves has such a momentum!
What's more, although the situation seems to be very evil tonight, his main general, General Aker, is a noble family who is in the same reign as the country! Moreover, the Second Division of Thunder Whip is a division that His Majesty the Emperor served when he was young, and has always been very close to the emperor.
In addition, this time the Second Division of Thunder Whip went to Beijing to serve the king, which was also the order and summoned by His Majesty the Emperor! Entering the city to take over the city defense is also the emperor's intention and order!
Since this is what the emperor wants to do, everyone is just to be the sharp steel knife in His Majesty’s hand!
Anyway, everyone is on Your Majesty’s side! In the Roland Empire, Your Majesty is the rule of law! What Your Majesty wants to do is right, why bother to think too much? As a warrior, serving Your Majesty is your duty!
As for why the martial law is strictly in the imperial capital tonight, why the city defense is taken over, and even if we have to start a murder tonight - as long as it is His Majesty's order, everyone will ride a horse and swing a sword to slash!
Aker led a large group of people to go east from Shuitu Gate in the west of the city, but when he was walking past Victory Square, he suddenly saw a faint light of fire at the end of the long street.
The firelight is particularly eye-catching under the night sky.
Many pedestrians from the imperial capital have discovered abnormalities, and some people have stopped to look at the fire in the distance.
For a moment, the road became a little crowded. Aker and his people were blocked in Victory Square. Looking at the fire in the distance, Aker's face became ugly.
"General, that direction seems to be Dongyuan!"
The cavalry under his command turned around and reported.
After hearing this, Aker's face seemed to become increasingly ugly.
At this moment, suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded from the southeast of the square. A group of soldiers from the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau, wearing light leather armor, rushed out of the crowd with shields and swords.
There were about a hundred soldiers from this group of security stations. They rushed past the crowd and came to Aker and others. The two groups of people almost collided.
Aker sat on the horse and immediately shouted loudly: "Who is in front of you!!"
The soldiers from the security station saw the group of cavalry wearing Thunder Whip armor and immediately rushed up. The armor that Aker obviously wore was a senior general of the empire, and an infantry captain in the leadership quickly saluted.
"This general, we are from the patrol team in the south of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau. I heard that something happened in the east of the city, and now the patrol team in the public security bureau is ordered to rush to the east of the city!"
"East of the city?" Aker's face was gloomy: "What happened?"
"Reporting to the Lord, it seems that something happened in Dongyuan!" The infantry captain's face was also a little strange, but he still gritted his teeth and answered: "The brothers of the Chengdong Public Security Team sent a warning message, saying that it was those, those..."
"Those things, tell me quickly! I'll kill you after delaying military information!" Aker shouted with his eyebrows raised.
"Sir... Someone in the East Garden treacherously rebelled! I heard that those guys, under the banner of the royal family, attacked the houses everywhere, robbed the patrols, robbed weapons, and set fire everywhere! Our city-east patrol team has already started to fight with them. I heard that even the Earl Villa's mansion has been burned. Now the internal police of the public security office has been sent out, and the patrol teams of the public security office in the city are rushing there! Sir, that..."
Aker seemed to have a shock, and a complex expression appeared on his face, and finally took a deep breath!
Dongyuan! It's Dongyuan!!
It's those guys!!
The Dongyuan of the imperial capital was historically a place where powerful people gathered.
At least more than a hundred years ago, this place was once the most precious area in the entire imperial capital. Because most of the people living here were royal families or wealthy families with relatives to the royal family.
But since Du Wei married the queen and gave birth to a child to inherit the throne, the throne was equivalent to turning from the Augustine family to the descendant of Tulips, and the identities of these "traditional royal families" in Dongyuan have become embarrassing.
This embarrassment lasted for 140 years.
These people are the ones who are known as the "real Augustine".
Tonight, before the New Year celebration, most of the powerful people in the imperial capital gathered in the palace. At this time of year, there will be grand and lively in the square and Triumph Street at the gate of the palace, fireworks party, and the emperor climbed to the city gate to enjoy the people, as well as guards of honor for the imperial guards, and various lanterns and decorations.
So on this night of each year, most of the public security and army in the imperial capital concentrate their strength around the palace, especially more than 70% of the troops in the public security center will be distributed near the palace and Triumph Street.
As for Dongyuan, who has gradually lost power, who has the ability to pay attention to these "real Augustines"?
Tonight, two of the three security patrol teams near Dongyuan were transferred to Triumph Street. No one felt that there was any problem with this arrangement.
But just when it was just dark at night, something big happened!
The first thing that happened was Nanke = Grand Duke Augustine's mansion.
It was just dark, and Nanko = The house of Augustine suddenly became chaotic. According to tradition, the grand duke had already gone to the palace with other nobles to attend the New Year dinner.
The originally quiet Grand Duke's Mansion suddenly heard a shout of killing!
A hundred people from the Grand Duke's Mansion rushed out. They were dressed in different clothes, as well as guards, servants, and even cook gardeners. There were more than a hundred of these guys, everyone holding sharp blades, long swords, short swords, shields, and crossbows. There were even more than a dozen cavalrymen in front of them.
The group of people rushed out of the mansion and came to the main road in Dongyuan. They shouted the slogans of "Long Live the Restoration of the Country" and "Long Live Augustine", rushed towards the pedestrians on the street, and then almost killed them when they saw people! There were also people behind holding torches to set fire everywhere!
In just a moment, a street was alarmed.
Originally, there were three imperial security guard patrols at the entrances of the three blocks of Dongyuan area. However, because the task of the New Year celebration in the palace was heavy tonight, except for the one left behind, the rest were transferred to Triumph Street.
Dongyuan has serious shortage of staff!
Although the patrol team left behind quickly responded, when the 50-person patrol team arrived at the scene, they were facing a scene that made their scalp numb!
The streets were crowded with a large number of "rebellious parties". Almost all of these guys came from the traditional "royal" families living in the East Garden, Nanko = the Augustine Grand Duke, Duzel = the Augustine Earl's family, Ilia = the Augustine Marquis...
These guards, servants, kitchen gardeners and other people gathered together, and nearly a thousand people were gathered together!
The entire street was already tormented. These people shouted slogans and had weapons in their hands to attack the residences of other Dongyuan noble families. In addition to smashing, smashing and looting, they also threatened many gangsters and unemployed people on the streets who were unknown to the truth. There were also some servants from other noble families who were beaten and looted by their own families. After their master fled, they simply took off their coats and smuggled into the crowd, taking advantage of the situation.
For a time, the number of people in the entire Dongyuan was almost two or three thousand people.
A major street in the entire Dongyuan has become a mess!
The other noble mansions, because the owners had already gone to the palace to attend a banquet, the elite guards of the house also followed the owners. Those who stayed at home were all housekeepers and managers, and they were unable to make the decision. When they encountered such a big mess, they were quickly lost by the rushing thieves.
There were walls everywhere on the entire East Garden, people set fire everywhere, and some thieves rushed into the homes of wealthy and nobles in the chaos and raped the maids.
There were crying, scolding and screaming everywhere in the East Garden. How big is the dozens of fires soaring into the sky, and the streets are filled with riots holding weapons or shields, and roaring with red eyes.
Faced with this scene, this patrol team of only fifty people could not resist even if everyone immediately exploded.
Such a small amount of people was like a drop in the bucket. The patrol of fifty people was quickly destroyed by the rebels. All weapons and shields were snatched away, some soldiers were killed and injured, and some escaped.
Huge riots began to spread toward the area outside Dongyuan!
Originally, places like the imperial capital were naturally a set of measures to prevent and respond to riots.
But tonight is the New Year celebration, and most of the military power of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau was placed near the palace. The military strength of the Dongyuan was weak. Originally, other noble families there also had their own private military generals, and they had at least some self-protection when encountering chaos. But at the New Year celebration dinner, the hosts all went to the palace to attend the banquet. There was no one in charge at home and no leader in the family. How could they resist these premeditated riots?!
The most important thing is that even if the military power of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau was transferred away, the Imperial Capital had its own urgent measures. Once such a similar emergency occurred, the nearby city gate and the royal guards stationed at the city gate would immediately come over to quell the riots.
But today... the imperial capital has changed its defense!!
The Royal City Guards had gathered all their troops, gave up their city defense, and were ordered to go out of the city to station. Although the Second Division of Thunder Whip, which replaced the Royal City Guards, may be better than the Royal City Guards in terms of the elite level and combat effectiveness of the army.
But after all, Thunder Whip is a "foreign army" and is not familiar with the situation of the imperial capital. He has no idea about various emergency measures for the imperial capital, and naturally he does not understand this set of emergency measures for the imperial capital.
Therefore, after something happened, the Second Division of Thunder Whip, which replaced the Royal City Guards stationed in the Imperial Capital City Defense, seemed particularly slow to react.
When an emergency report was sent to the nearby city gate, the army that had just taken over the city defense, the Thunder Whip, didn't even know what they should do. Some officers even refused the request for help from the public security office. Xuancheng and others received the order to protect the city walls and gates and other fortifications. As for whether to provide assistance to the public security office, they had to report it to the superiors.
The public security office was even more messy. For the New Year celebration, the patrol team of the public security office organized by 8,000 troops had already walked in various blocks near the palace. At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in Dongyuan. There was no time to react for a while, and I could not concentrate my efforts to quell the riot.
As a result, in the chaos, the headquarters of the Public Security Bureau could only do its best to send all the messengers to all parts of the city, and asked the messengers to take the warrants and issue emergency orders to all the public security bureau patrols they encountered along the way, so that they could immediately go to Dongyuan to quell the riots after seeing the order.
But unexpectedly, this incident made a bad thing!
There were about two or three thousand rioters gathered in Dongyuan. After these guys attacked the various noble families in Dongyuan in an organized and premeditated manner, they turned into snowballs that were getting bigger and bigger!
The patrol teams of the public security stations in the imperial capital are all organized into teams of fifty people!
To be continued...
