The sturdy prairie wolves drove straight in and surrounded the imperial capital of the Far Eastern Empire. After the news spread, it also caused great panic.
The people in the imperial capital were panic-stricken. They were still cheering a few days ago, celebrating the victory of the frontline army.
However, they didn't expect that now the enemy was approaching the city. Facing those fierce and violent prairie wolf cavalry, they were full of fear, worried that they would be killed, and worried that their hard-earned family fortune would be taken away.
The common people packed up their belongings and tried to escape the imperial capital, but now all the gates of the imperial capital have been closed and heavily guarded.
Outside the imperial capital, wolves were galloping freely, filling the people trapped in the imperial capital with despair, and there were countless people who cried and wailed bitterly.
"Severely punish Li Changqing!"
"Catch the traitor Li Changqing!"
"Li Changqing should be late for leading wolves into the house!"
The civil and military officials were also frightened by the sudden change, and directed all their anger at Li Changqing, the acting commander of the third field army.
Emperor Chen Ziang handed over the elite troops to Li Changqing to defend against the attack of wolf cavalry on the periphery, but he failed the emperor's trust and retreated all the way to the imperial capital.
Most importantly, Li Changqing and the others retreated so quickly that the officials in the imperial capital had no time to run for their lives.
Now those officials are not only in deep danger themselves, but their family members are also facing the threat of life.
Under such circumstances, the anger in their hearts can be imagined, and all kinds of impeachment papers against Li Changqing flew to the palace like snowflakes.
At the same time, the order of the various government offices was gone. Some officials who were in a state of panic all day long went home to hide, while others took off their official uniforms, pretended to be ordinary people, and tried to find an opportunity to leave the city.
The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, facing the risk of the imperial capital being breached at any time, no one is willing to risk his life.
The formerly bustling imperial city is now filled with despair, gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, and the order of many blocks has also begun to appear chaotic.
Some idlers on weekdays tried to take advantage of the panic at all levels of government offices to smash up shops and loot property.
These fishers in troubled waters deliberately created chaos to take advantage of the opportunity. Several houses were set ablaze, and billowing thick smoke shot straight into the sky.
"The enemy hasn't entered the city yet! The imperial capital still belongs to my Far East!"
"Whoever dares to make a mistake, no matter who it is, arrest it! I will take care of it if something happens!"
Facing the risk of the order in the east and west of the city getting out of control, Liu Yongnian, who is the head of government affairs in the imperial capital, was also very angry, and immediately ordered the yamen servants who belonged to the government to dispatch quickly to stabilize the order.
However, the yamen servants are all equipped with red and white sticks, which have no deterrent effect on those who want to take the opportunity to make trouble and cause chaos.
Seeing that these government officials came over soon, those who smashed and looted scattered, and when these government officials quickly went to other places to maintain order, they appeared again.
These yamen servants quickly became firefighters, running around, but it was of no help to the stability of the order. Many blocks were smashed into a mess, and many people were even killed.
Facing the situation in the city becoming more and more out of control, Liu Yongnian, Chief of Political Affairs of the Imperial Capital, also felt a little powerless.
Just when Liu Yongnian, the chief executive officer of the imperial capital, was about to go to the palace to see Chen Zi'ang in person, hoping to dispatch troops to suppress the chaos in the city, Lu Quan, the new director of the imperial guard Ma Si, came to the door.
After Zhao Hong, the Chief of the Imperial Guards' Ma Si, was transferred to the head of the Guards, Lu Quan, who was born in the Zhanzheng College and had a great military exploits, was transferred from the field army to replace Zhao Hong.
"Master Liu, I am here to assist you in maintaining order in the imperial capital by order of His Majesty."
Chen Ziang already knew about the chaos in the imperial capital, so he ordered Lu Quan, the chief of the imperial guard Ma Si, to lead his troops to assist.
Lu Quan's imperial capital soldier Ma Si has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and they are the backbone of the imperial capital.
Now as Li Changqing's army retreated into the imperial capital, the city defense was taken over by the third field army, so Lu Quan's troops were transferred into the city to help maintain order and serve as a reserve team.
Seeing Lu Quan visit the door, Liu Yongnian, Chief of Political Affairs of the Imperial Capital, who was in a state of desperation, seemed to have grasped at straws, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
"Director Lu, with the assistance of your garrison Ma Si, the imperial capital will not be chaotic. Liu will take the place of the imperial capital.""People, hereby thank the brother of Ma Si, the guard. " Liu Yongnian thanked Lu Quan with a deep bow.
"Master Liu, get up quickly, I can't be such a big gift." Lu Quan said hastily.
"The so-called use of troops for a thousand days and a short period of time. We have received the grace of the emperor on weekdays. Now when the empire is in crisis, let alone maintain order, even if it is to fight the enemy, it is our duty."
With the tens of thousands of elite guards of the imperial capital led by Lu Quan, Ma Si, on the streets, those hooligans who were playing catch-and-seek with the government officials were also stunned.
From their point of view, the enemy is overwhelming the country with heavy troops, the army is now a mud bodhisattva, and it is difficult to defend themselves when crossing the river. It is estimated that there are not enough troops to guard the city wall, so they have no time to pay attention to them.
Those yamen servants who are not equipped with weapons are simply ignored by them, which is why they are unscrupulous.
Seeing these swords unsheathed now, and the murderous imperial guards driving onto the streets, they didn't turn their heads.
Seeing those gangsters besieging the yamen servants and robbing large and small bags of money and cloth, the soldiers of Ma Si, the imperial guards, also had murderous intent in their eyes.
"Kill without mercy!"
A banner battalion commander who led the team couldn't understand these hooligans who took the opportunity to make trouble, and immediately ordered coldly.
"kill!"
The imperial guard Ma Sigong guards the imperial capital, and each soldier is an elite selected from various field troops.
Don't look at their inconspicuousness on weekdays, it's because they don't have the opportunity to show themselves.
Now to deal with these hooligans with short knives and sticks, for them, it is easy to catch.
Those ruffians robbed a lot of money, so naturally they didn't want to let it go easily. Facing the soldiers who rushed up, they knew they couldn't beat them, so they turned around and ran away.
They were familiar with the imperial capital, and they ran towards the narrow alleys to avoid being chased by the guards.
However, these garrison soldiers Masi's troops are all well-trained soldiers. Under the orders of the officers, they interspersed and outflanked in an organized way.
Soon, those local ruffians who took the opportunity to make trouble were blocked and surrounded, and there was no escape at all.
"We were wrong."
"We dare not again."
"Give these things back to you, please spare us"
Seeing the heavily armed garrison soldiers all around, the gangsters who were blocked also looked at each other, and the compromised ones began to beg for mercy.
"Fire the arrow!"
For these gangsters who smashed, smashed and looted, the guards and horses were not as easy-talking as the government officials and the police, so they directly dealt with it.
A row of crossbow bolts whizzed out, and those local gangsters who had been arrogant and domineering just now looting, smashing and setting fire everywhere fell into a pool of blood, howling.
One after another corpses were dragged out of the dark alleys and courtyards and thrown on the messy streets. In just two hours, thousands of hooligans who beat, smashed and set fires everywhere were executed on the spot.
The soldiers of Masi, the guard of the imperial capital, also began to impose martial law in the imperial capital. At every intersection, the streets were guarded by soldiers in solid armor. The order of the briefly chaotic imperial capital was quickly restored. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
