Shuangxi Town belongs to Baishan County and is located on the east bank of the Anya River, across the river from Manyun Valley.

It is a quiet agricultural town with only 22 permanent households.

Tonight, this tranquility is destined to be trampled to pieces by iron hoofs.

A detachment of cavalry quietly approached the town and broke into action after dark.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, and the mayor and his wife were so frightened that they fell off the bed.

Regardless of his wife's obstruction, the old mayor rushed out of the room to ring the bell.

He was barefoot and just ran onto the street when he heard the sound of cracking in the air from behind.

He turned around in fear, only to see a sharp blade coming towards him.

The old mayor fell into the dust.

"The army is fighting the chaos! It has nothing to do with you and others!" Andre shook off the blood on his knife with a sullen face, and sternly warned the townspeople behind the doors and windows: "Get out of the house! You will die!"

The small town was almost overwhelmed by the sound of hooves, and the townspeople did not know how many cavalry came.

If someone breaks into their home, burns, kills, robs, and rapes, they may have the will to fight to the death.

But the people who came just occupied the street, and their momentum was extremely terrifying. They really couldn't muster the courage to fight.

Seeing that no one dared to take to the streets anymore, Andre just sheathed his sword.

His right arm was a bit inflexible and it took several attempts to get it right.

A captain of ten rushed to his side, saluted and reported: "Sir, the defenders have surrendered."

Lieutenant Cellini uttered one word coldly: "Burn."

"The warehouses are all empty."

"Burn whatever you have."

The ten captains saluted again and rode away.

Andre chose to raid Shuangxi Town because it was the place where the supplies of the Baishan County army were accumulated.

He crossed the river much earlier than the enemy.

While the garrison in Baishan County was still gathering its forces, Winters had already gathered his war horses and those who could ride on them, and handed them over to Andre to lead them across the river by boat from the upper reaches of the Anya River.

As soon as it was confirmed that the Baishan County army had entered Tiefeng County, Andrea Cellini, the war dog, released his bridle on his own.

However, the gains from the raid in Shuangxi Town were very limited.

There was nothing in the warehouse, and all the baggage had been taken away by the garrison officer of Baishan County, leaving only a ten-man team to guard it.

Seeing the cavalry approaching, the eight defenders simply handed over their weapons and surrendered.

"Centurion!" Another centurion came galloping over, shouting from a distance of more than ten meters: "What is written on the paper, we can't understand it!"

"What are you calling?"

His old subordinate shut his mouth and handed a roll of paper to the centurion with both hands.

Andre took the scroll and looked at it under the moonlight.

His right arm trembled slightly unconsciously, making it difficult for him to see the small words on the paper clearly.

The dim moonlight made my eyes tired even more.

Andre was distracted by what he saw. He threw the paper roll back to his subordinates, held down his right arm and said angrily: "What the hell! Take all the paper with writing on it away from me!"

The ten captains saluted and rode away.

Andre's left hand grasped his right arm tightly, so hard that his fingers turned white.

…

Winters only has two requirements for Andre, and he can do the rest by himself.

First, don’t damage people’s property. Burning down the houses of farmers and townspeople will not hurt the Baishan County garrison.

Second, it is necessary to collect the archives, land deeds, files and residence reports kept by various towns in Baeksan County at any time.

Therefore, after seizing the supply warehouse, Andre's cavalry immediately broke open the town hall door.

Then they were in trouble because no one could read...

Fortunately, Lieutenant Cellini has a simple and crude solution.

Don’t know how to read? Take away all the paper with words on it.

…

The nightmare cavalry roared in and flew away, like a brief but waking nightmare.

A corpse was left in Shuangxi Town, as well as a burning warehouse, town office and security office.

When the sound of horse hooves completely disappeared, the townspeople walked out of their homes in fear.

They gathered around the mayor's body and mourned for this old man who had always done his duty.

For Shuangxi Town, tonight's disaster is over.

But for Baishan County, this ravage is far from over.

Winters originally had a hundred cavalry, but Andre eliminated most of them without saying a word, leaving only forty-six cavalry, less than a detachment.

But each of these forty-six riders is equipped with a war horse and four servant horses.

In order to facilitate access to water for irrigation, the settlements on both sides of the river were close to the river and were densely distributed, which saved Lieutenant Cellini a lot of trouble.

Andrea Cellini's cavalry was like a devastating wind, sweeping through eleven villages and towns on the east bank of the Anya River overnight.

…

That night, the bald colonel learned that Baishan County had been attacked.

The fire on the other side of the river was soaring into the sky, and I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to.

But Gesa did not give any orders, and the messenger who woke him up was severely reprimanded.

After scolding the orderly, the colonel fell back on the bed.

The soldiers of Baishan County also continued to sleep soundly in houses and tents until dawn.

Early the next morning, as soon as the wake-up call sounded, Captain Hudson sent a briefing to Colonel Gesar.

The briefing was thrown on the table by Gesar, and he went to the back of the room to urinate.

"It's a small town, and there's no place to take a bath." Mr. Colonel walked back, yawning and pacing, and complained to his subordinates: "If I don't take a bath, my whole body hurts."

Captain Hudson disagreed: "The Anya River is right next to it. You can just go and wash in the river."

"You have to use hot water to take a bath!" Colonel Gesa was furious, his scalp was squeezed out with wrinkles: "Can cold water be called a bath?"

"Okay, yes, you are right." Captain Hudson responded perfunctorily. He handed the briefing to the colonel: "The rebels have gained considerable momentum."

But one night, the east bank of the Anya River was filled with flames.

Villages and towns, large and small, have either been raided by rebel cavalry, or traces of rebel cavalry have been found around them.

"This little bastard has all the fighting methods of the Hart Barbarian." Colonel Gesar scanned the briefing at a glance, threw it on the table, stretched his waist, and asked: "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"White bread, red soup, boiled eggs." Captain Hudson spoke quickly, and he asked: "No matter if he can really do it? Send a few people back, but you shouldn't let the rebels do whatever they want."

"I'm asking the big head soldier what he eats for breakfast?"

"Thick bread, mixed vegetable soup."

"That's not bad."

"Really don't care about him?" Captain Hudson asked again.

"Why do you care?" Colonel Gesa wiped his face with a towel dipped in water and then wiped his scalp as a wash.

"The rebels are looting our villages and towns!"

"Let him grab it." Colonel Geza sneered: "Although twenty or thirty villages are in emergency at the same time, it is actually just a small group of cavalry. I don't even have a few cavalry on hand, so how many rebels can there be?"

"Even if there are only thirty cavalry, no village or town can stop it."

Geza sat down with his golden sword and signaled to Hudson to bring breakfast: "This is where the rebels are stupid. They use the fighting methods of the Hurd barbarians, but they are not the Hurd barbarians. The barbarians kill people, burn villages, and rob

With the little cavalry the rebels have, if they dare to do this, the militiamen in the villages and towns will be able to wipe them all out."

"You mean, let him snatch it?"

"Let him rob! The more he robs, the less likely he is to occupy Baishan County. The rebels will not occupy Baishan County, so what are we afraid of him?"

Captain Hudson sighed: "You are the garrison officer, you have the final say."

The captain turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have a question." Colonel Gesar raised his chin and asked, "The report says that the rebel Bud and the rebel Mason have been deprived of their military rights?"

"That's right." Captain Hudson nodded expressionlessly.

"The traitor Cellini is dead?"

"Presumed death."
