The arrival of 8,000 Iron Futu made the Yizhou City Guards feel as if they were facing a great enemy.
All the soldiers removed the cloth covering their weapons, revealing their sharp weapons.
The soldiers followed the instructions of the twelve young generals and got into a defensive formation.
The archer drew his bow and aimed at the sky.
Once the general gave the order, an overwhelming rain of arrows would fall.
Commander Zhao of the city guards came to Qin Huaiyu. He cupped his hands and bowed, asking,
"General Qin, unidentified troops are approaching Yizhou. Please report to the Governor!”
Qin Huaiyu nodded and arranged for his personal guards to ride a fast horse to the Governor's Office.
He would follow his brothers to guard the city gates.
Tie Futu's background was unknown, but one could tell from the heavy armor he wore.
These guys were not easy to deal with.
After a long journey, Tie Futu was closer to Yizhou City.
All the soldiers looked over. This time, they could see even more clearly.
These cavalrymen were wearing tight heavy armor, and even the horses were wrapped in skirt armor.
The scales on the armor shone coldly under the sunlight.
Commander Zhao judged based on his many years of experience in fighting enemies.
These armors were not something that ordinary weapons could cut through!
At the very least, the current weapons and equipment of the city guards would not be able to cause any damage to it.
Even the carefully crafted weapons in the hands of the twelve young generals were unable to break through his defense.
If he wanted to defeat the enemy, he could only use siege equipment.
However, both siege chariots and huge ballistae were scarce.
There were only a few dozen of them in the Great Tang, and they were all used by the front-line army of more than one hundred thousand soldiers.
In Yizhou City, there was not a single weapon used to attack a city.
If a fight really broke out later, not to mention all 8,000 Iron Pagodas.
Just the 2,000 cavalrymen leading the charge was not enough for the 10,000 city guards.
There was no other way. This was the difference in equipment!
The 8,000-strong Iron Pagoda continued to press down on the city gate.
As the commander of the city guards, Zhao Yu 'an rode his horse forward and shouted,
"This is the territory of Yizhou.!”
In response to Commander Zhao's question, a heavy-armored cavalryman walked out of the Iron Pagoda.
He rode his horse forward and replied loudly,"
"I have received the orders of the King of Shu to rush to Yizhou to protect the imperial power!”
This person's voice was rough and loud, and his voice could actually echo outside the empty city gate of Yizhou.
Hearing this, all the soldiers present were stunned.
The twelve young generals looked at each other, all of them puzzled.
Cheng Chumo came to Qin Huaiyu's side and asked suspiciously,"
"Brother Qin, didn't that person say 'by the order of the King of Shu'?”
Qin Huaiyu stood at the forefront of the army and heard everything clearly.
There was absolutely no mistake. The general was referring to His Highness the King of Shu.
Just as everyone was feeling astonished and shocked.
The personal guard who had gone to report rushed back.
He said in a panic,
"General, His Highness said that these soldiers are the Iron Futu he transferred to Yizhou!”
Tie Futu?
So this army was called Iron Futu!
Just like its name, it was like a pagoda made of iron.
With His Highness's proof, everyone believed Tie Futu's identity.
Commander Zhao ordered the soldiers to split into two sides and give way to the city gate of Yizhou.
The eight thousand iron pagodas entered the city gate and people heard them.
With every step Tie Futu took, there would be a clanging sound of armor colliding.
After entering the city, most of the troops entered the drill ground.
A cavalryman broke away from Tie Futu's formation and joined forces with Qin Huaiyu.
He took off his helmet and revealed his face.
The twelve young generals saw that this heavy armored cavalryman actually had the face of a woman.
This person's eyebrows were delicate and his skin was smooth.
Her big eyes were like clear water.
The deep eye sockets and long eyelashes made the cavalry look exotic.
Because the cavalry was too delicate and pretty, the twelve generals could not tell whether they were male or female.
The cavalryman glanced at the twelve men, then tightened his reins and headed straight for the Governor's Mansion.
Seeing this, the twelve people didn't delay and rode their horses forward.
Thus, such a scene appeared in Yizhou City.
A handsome cavalryman in heavy armor was running in front.
The twelve generals of the Viceroy rode their horses in pursuit.
The commoners on the streets were curious. What was going on?
The scouts planted by the three families on the streets saw the appearance of the cavalry.
Immediately, he used a pen to quickly draw the image and secretly sent it to the three great families.
The head of the Zhang family in Yizhou frowned as he looked at the portrait of the cavalry that had just been sent over.
The soldiers in the portrait were wearing heavy armor, and even the horses were wearing skirts.
This was the first time he had seen an army with such equipment.
Zhang Lin couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. What kind of army was this?
Could it be the Qiang people?
However, the Qiang people mostly made rattan armor, so it was impossible for them to use iron to make armor.
Then where did this army come from?
Zhang Lin was not the only one who could not understand.
The other two families in Yizhou were also confused.
The three Patriarchs agreed that they should report the appearance of a mysterious force in Yizhou to Hou Junji!
Although Tie Futu's cavalry general wore heavy armor, his riding speed was extremely fast.
He broke through the wind ahead, and no matter how hard the twelve generals chased after him, they could not catch up.
Yuchi Baolin looked at the warhorse that was already panting heavily and asked suspiciously,"
"This fellow is really strange. Including the skirt and armor on the horse, just the armor alone weighs more than a hundred pounds! He really didn't know what his horse was fed. How could it run so fast?”
Cheng Chumo also echoed,
"If a cavalry general is so powerful, then the entire Tie Futu must be extraordinary. He really didn't know when His Highness had trained this mysterious troop.”
Luo Tong smiled and said,
"Who cares when Your Highness trains? I only know that His Highness is unfathomable!”
Qin Huaiyu also agreed.
"Second brother is right. Usually, I only feel that Your Highness is hiding his strength. We know very little about Your Highness. I'm afraid that Your Highness has more powers that we don't know about!”
The young generals sighed in their hearts.
"Choosing to follow His Highness back then was truly the wisest choice!”
