Occupy Yang Zhou City, Seize the House
"Envoy Du, bad news! The Black Tiger Navy has entered the city!"
Soon, the governor of Yangzhou received the news.
The process of Zhang Xun leading his men into the city was also very simple. A few old pirates took advantage of the darkness and directly climbed over the city wall. After taking care of the few bad guys occupying the city wall, they opened the city gate.
Zhang Xun's 600 warriors entered Yangzhou City.
Dumu was shocked and did not bother to chase after the Manichaeans who were already in chaos. He hurriedly gathered the soldiers.
This Zhang Xun was the greatest threat to the local officials along the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty these days.
The Yuezhou Navy was destroyed by him. Now that he came to Yangzhou City, didn't that mean that State Duke Lu and the others didn't stop Zhang Xun?
He was luring the tiger away from the mountain!
The main target was Yangzhou City?
When Du Mu thought of Viceroy Cui Liang's miscalculation, he could only sigh inwardly.
Ta Ta Ta!
When the orderly footsteps sounded.
Du Mu's pupils constricted.
A group of soldiers wearing half-body armor lined up neatly and ran along the street toward the Governor's Office.
Du Mu was knowledgeable.
To be able to line up in such a neat formation, they were definitely elites!
In a battle formation, individual strength was not of much use. The main thing was to rely on tight formation, strict discipline, and high morale.
Such an army was the most terrifying.
"Elite! It's comparable to the elites of the Northern Yamen's Imperial Army!"
Du Mu was shocked.
Not to mention that his 1,000 weak soldiers had already fought for a while. Although they were chasing after the Manichaean demons and were only defeated in the battle, their stamina was still exhausted. Even if he had just pulled out 1,000 soldiers, they might not be able to block it.
"Collect! Gather the soldiers!"
Du Mu hurriedly shouted,
It was just that it was not easy for him to gather his troops in such a short period of time.
By the time the Black Tiger Navy arrived, Du Mu only had less than 500 people with him.
"First row! Squat!"
"Second row! Raise!"
"Third row! Fight!"
The Black Tiger Navy did not hold back.
Zhang Xun's training was extremely strict. Otherwise, there would not be such an elite army.
Almost in an instant, the first row of sword-shield hands placed their shields on the ground, and the second row of spearmen placed their spears on their shields.
Kakaka!
In the back row, two hundred strong crossbows were already raised.
"Shoot!"
At this moment, the two teams were less than thirty steps away from each other, so there was no need to practice archery.
Tight!
The two hundred crossbow bolts shot out almost at the same time!!
The sharp crossbow bolts seemed to form a moving wall of death as they slammed into the five hundred Yangzhou defenders!!
Screams immediately rang out.
Less than 30 units away, the sharp arrowheads pierced through the armor of the Tang army effortlessly and pierced into their bodies!
The distance was too close, and many arrows directly pierced through the people.
Almost instantly, more than a hundred casualties appeared.
What was worse was that after the Black Tiger Navy shot the arrows, they immediately lined up in an orderly formation and pressed forward.
The timing was just right.
The five hundred Yangzhou Navy was defeated by the Black Tiger Navy in a single exchange…
Even Du Mu, the governor of Yangzhou, was dumbstruck as he looked at everything in disbelief.
Yang Zhou City was actually occupied by a group of pirates just like that.
If his subordinates had not reacted quickly enough to carry Magistrate Dumudu and run away, he would have been captured by the Black and Gray Navy.，
Yangzhou City fell into complete chaos.
"Take control of the Governor's Office.”
Zhang Xun looked at the sky, which was already beginning to brighten.
There was not much time left. Cheng Yaojin could lead his troops back at any time. If they did not hurry up and were blocked by Cheng Yaojin in Yangzhou, it would be bad.
The Governor of Yangzhou, Cui Liang, was indeed greedy.
Soon, the hall was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry from Cui Liang's treasury.
"Don't count it yet. Take away all the valuable things first!!!”
Zhang Xun looked at the finances in the room.
He really didn't have the time to count them.
He lured the Yangzhou garrison away from the mountain and transferred them to Changshu County. However, Changshu County was not far from here. If Cheng Yaojin reacted, the cavalry could rush over in two hours.
He did not have much time.
" Go, occupy the official workshop!!"
Zhang Xun ordered.
The official workshop in Yangzhou City was occupied by the Black Tiger Navy.
All the craftsmen in the workshop were called up at dawn. Whether they were old masters or apprentices, they were all gathered together and prepared to go to the flowing ball.
The equipment and raw materials in the workshop.
All the valuable things were packed up.
A few temples in Yangzhou City were also occupied by the Black Tiger Navy and forced to give money. In this era, temples often played the role of banks. The monks were very rich, not much less than in the future.
In this era, the bigger temples were actually financial institutions. They had plenty of copper coins in their hands and specialized in lending money to earn interest.
On the streets, more than half of the wealthy merchants would borrow money from the temples in Yangzhou.
However, Zhang Xun didn't ask for much, only a few hundred thousand--he didn't plan to empty these temples and Taoist temples.
A financial crisis was not what Zhang Xun wanted. After all, he still had to trade with the wealthy merchants of the Great Tang to obtain resources and earn profits.
Things didn't have to be done too harshly.
