Cheng Yutian did not immediately send troops after hearing this. He had already said before that he already had his own ideas.
He actually has many choices now. If the Tian and Yu families are allowed to kill their only son, the direct line of the Ma family will be completely wiped out, which is not a bad thing for him. Then he will find a way to suppress it.
Tian and Yu's family are actually okay.
However, the youngest son of the Ma family is now two years old and is actually very easy to control. I am controlling the army in his name, but in fact I still have more than ten years to infiltrate and turn the Ma family army into the Cheng family army.
After thinking about it again, Cheng Yutian still favored the two-year-old. After all, he was a general under Ma Yixiong. The act of standing up to protect the general's grandson at this time was quite beneficial to his reputation. As for the two-year-old
My son, it shouldn't be difficult to find a time for him to "pass away due to illness" later.
Relying on his reputation to control the army is the best way now, but he still needs to rely on the Ma family's reputation.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yutian had already made a decision. So he quickly gathered his troops and went to put down the rebellion.
Of course, it doesn't take too many people to gather. A thousand regular troops are completely enough. He naturally knows what a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps the soldiers of Tian Yu's family are. These miscellaneous soldiers are not enough to defeat their regular troops.
When Cheng Yutian and his people rushed to the city lord's mansion, the situation was already quite dangerous.
At this time, some of the elite guards in the City Lord's Mansion had actually been taken out and sent away. The entire City Lord's Mansion's defense was quite empty.
Moreover, the Tian and Yu families not only launched a sudden rebellion, but also had internal support. Aren't these two concubines supporting the rebellion inside?
If some veterans under Ma Yixiong hadn't desperately protected the family head and quickly sent dead soldiers to break out to find Cheng Yutian, the city lord's palace would have fallen. By then, if the two-year-old child died and the direct blood line was cut off, who would really inherit the Ma family?
The only ones who can do it are these bastards.
If Cheng Yutian doesn't come to support, it is estimated that the Tian and Yu families will be able to settle the matter soon. By then, Cheng Yutian can't say that he has killed all of Ma Yixiong's bloodline.
However, the plot of the Tian and Yu families was broken off the moment Cheng Yutian arrived. The addition of a thousand regular troops immediately reversed the situation of the battle. It was obvious that the mixed soldiers composed of a bunch of servants could not be the opponent of the regular army.
However, Cheng Yutian still somewhat overestimated the current combat effectiveness of his troops. In normal times, it would be very easy for a thousand troops to annihilate the miscellaneous army composed of these servants, but in the current situation, this group of regular troops just
Only then was my courage broken.
At present, the morale of these soldiers can only be said to be barely able to fight. Of course, no matter how poor the combat effectiveness is, it is obviously enough to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers, but the speed and efficiency of annihilation are quite low.
In terms of morale, the miscellaneous troops on the Tian Yu family's side were actually not much better.
Because it was a rebellion in itself, they themselves felt very guilty. When they saw the regular army troops on the opposite side appearing, the two families were already frightened.
At this time, Cheng Yutian and his troops had directly repelled the troops attacking the city lord's palace. When the heads of the Tian and Yu families saw this situation, they were already shaken.
Naturally, they also knew the result of the failure of the rebellion. For the current plan, they had to do it without stopping and fight to the end. But looking at the regular army troops in front of them, they felt frightened and did not think they could succeed at all.
The only way left is to run away.
It's obvious that we can't stay in Yongjincheng any longer. Should we stay in the city and wait for the Ma family to settle their accounts in the future? It's absolutely impossible to spare them.
So the only plan for now is to escape from the city first. They don't have any escape route, because they are famous local gentry and tycoons. The Tian and Yu families actually have power and industry in this area. They can't get along in Yongjin City.
Find another place to lurk secretly, and you will still have a chance to fight back later.
In short, as soon as the people of Tian and Yu's families were gathered together, they quickly ran out. So they quickly left some people behind, and most of them rushed directly towards the east gate, because the east gate is closest to the city lord's palace.
There is a main road in the past. At this time, before the people inside have reacted, rush out of the city.
Cheng Yutian really didn't react, because at this time, neither he nor the Tian Yu family expected that there would be danger from the outside.
The troops who had escaped before had told them the specific situation of Linton's troops. There were about 2,000 troops at the beginning, but now it is estimated to be more than 1,000, all of them cavalry, without any baggage or supplies.
So do you think this force poses a threat to Yongjin City?
Although 60,000 troops were lost, there are still thousands of troops in Yongjin City. Please tell me how more than 1,000 cavalry can attack the city.
In Cheng Yutian's opinion, the most that these 1,000 troops could do was to loot the surrounding villages and towns. Even if they really wanted to attack the city, they would have to wait for the reinforcements from Tianfeng City to arrive before attacking the city.
It still takes a long time to prepare, at least now Cheng Yutian doesn't take it seriously at all.
What Cheng Yutian didn't know was that the troops he had completely ignored at this time had already arrived at the gates of Yongjin City.
"Uh..." When they saw the solid walls and wide gates of Yongjin City, Linton's generals were all confused.
This is indeed an important frontier town with more than 60,000 troops stationed. The terrain and city defense can only be described as exaggerated.
According to Dong Ping's idea, if he was given 10,000 people to defend the city, and a hundred thousand troops came to attack, he could defend it for more than half a year. This city wall is so exaggerated that I feel panicked just looking at it.
So how to fight this thing? The generals also subconsciously looked towards Linton.
"Yeah, yeah, yes, it seems to be a fortified city." Linton nodded with satisfaction. This is a good platform for showing off.
"Inform everyone and prepare to attack the city." Linton gave the order directly after admiring the magnificent city.
"Really...attack the city now?" Dong Ping looked at Linton in surprise. Is this a joke? Are you really attacking the city? How can you attack the city? You can't fly up on horseback.
"Just fight with me. What nonsense." Linton looked at Dong Ping's expression and was even quite satisfied. After all, ordinary people can fight, so why should he come? Do you know the value of the word "turning the tide"?
The city gate in front of him looked majestic, but for Linton, it was just a matter of punching him. After entering, if the opponent dared to start a street fight, Linton would teach them how to behave with a meteorite.
The next second, without waiting for Dong Ping's answer, Linton directly hit the horse and rushed towards the city gate in front. Although Dong Ping and others looked confused, Linton had already gone up after all. Out of blind trust
, they can only keep up.
But just before Linton was about to show off his might and turn the tide, the closed door in front suddenly clicked and opened a crack by itself.
