Please note: they are not biological sisters, you understand.
"My second sister is the Prime Minister's daughter, who can enter and exit the imperial court!"
"My third s...
As the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and government troops gave chase, Jing Zhe also flew off the city wall.
Nearly two hundred grenades exploded, killing hundreds of yaks and nearly a thousand heavy cavalrymen. As for the wounded, the number was even greater.
This was a significant blow to the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment. If we could seize this opportunity to reach some kind of cooperation with them…
With that in mind, Jing Zhe scanned the area around the foremost corpses, mainly searching for Qian Jiang's body.
Apart from Chamu, who was the first to die, there were nine remaining commanders. Jing Zhe called the commander who had previously surrendered to the front of the formation alone. When all the grenades exploded, he made a point of watching, and the commander survived.
As for the remaining eight generals, after searching them by their unique black armor, Jing Zhe found the bodies of five of them, indicating that three remained.
After searching these people for a while, they found three martial arts manuals belonging to Wang Fujun and others, and also found the Western Frontier Imperial Seal on the body of the Thousand General who had been shouting the loudest earlier.
Jing Zhe smiled, stuffed the things into his clothes, and then followed.
More than a thousand heavy cavalrymen died, and apart from the two or three hundred that died, most of the remaining yaks were wounded and had empty backs. They followed the fleeing heavy cavalry regiment and fell to the very back of the column.
Jing Zhe shouted from behind, "We only accept yaks!"
It is said that one should not pursue a desperate enemy. Although the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment is like a stray dog, it still has more than 8,000 men. If we really push them to the brink and they counterattack, the losses will be heavy and it will be a losing proposition.
Upon hearing this, the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and the government troops all rushed towards the unclaimed yaks, and in no time, they had intercepted four or five hundred yaks.
"President Jing, should we continue the pursuit?"
At this moment, Wang De came over and asked.
Since the city gates opened, Liu Jinghong has been standing on the city wall, showing no intention of coming down, as if he had voluntarily handed over all decision-making power to Jing Zhe, which is why Wang De sought his opinion.
Watching the heavy cavalry flee, kicking up clouds of dust, Jing Zhe shook his head and said, "No need. Just take these four or five hundred yaks back and let my fifth sister distribute them!"
"Yes, President Jing!"
He glanced at Jing Zhe again and asked curiously, "President Jing, aren't you planning to return to the city with us?"
"No, you all go back first, I have things to do!"
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he pushed off the ground with both feet and shot towards the heavy cavalry formation like a cannonball. Wang De and the crowd below were dumbfounded. Only the disciples of the sects who had participated in the martial arts tournament were not surprised by this.
...
Before long, Jing Zhe flew over the heavy cavalry regiment.
The heavy cavalry regiment now saw Jing Zhe as if he were a raging flood, and had no intention of fighting. They all hurriedly fled, but unfortunately, no matter how fast their yaks were, they could not match Jing Zhe's lightness skill.
Jing Zhe located the positions of the other three commanders in the air and then took out a grenade.
Ignite, aim, launch.
Ignite, aim, launch.
Ignite, aim, launch…
After three consecutive loud explosions, three thousand-man generals were killed instantly. The heavy cavalry regiment didn't even have time to look at their bodies. Chaos ensued. Some were thrown off the backs of the yaks and trampled by the yaks, resulting in either death or serious injury. The scene was horrific.
Jing Zhe remained suspended in the air, neither too close nor too far. Although he made no further moves, the fear he instilled in the heavy cavalry regiment grew stronger and stronger. Finally, the last remaining centurion could no longer hold on and stopped: When will this end?
"Young Master Jing... what exactly do you want?"
Qianjiang said in a hoarse voice.
"Make them all stop."
"Stop!"
Qianjiang's hoarse voice, combined with his raucous roar, was stretched into an extremely sharp sound, instantly echoing across the grassland.
This time, when they came out of Kadian, not only did King Huyan Lie follow, but also all the generals and ten thousand-man generals. In an instant, only one thousand-man general remained, who was the highest commander of all the heavy cavalry regiments.
So when the commander shouted, the heavy cavalry who heard it, though terrified, all stopped, and pulled those around them who hadn't heard the order to stop as well.
The principle of "capture the king first" is probably the same.
Seeing all the heavy cavalry regiments finally stop, Jing Zhe sighed with emotion.
Then he asked, "What's your name?"
“Kadan…”
"Kadin, Kadan, just one character different from your capital, what a fine name! With a name like that, you deserve to succeed!"
"..."
"How about you become king?"
"..."
Kadan was filled with trepidation, and upon hearing this, he was completely stunned.
Did they call me over just so I could become the king?
This happiness came too suddenly!
Seeing his hesitation, Jing Zhe shouted loudly to the heavy cavalry regiment behind him, "How about choosing Kadan as your new king?"
"..."
"If a king cannot be chosen today, then none of you need to go back; stay here!"
Jing Zhe said in a cold voice.
In the eyes of the heavy cavalry regiment, Jing Zhe is now like a demon.
Although the idea of "drawing heavenly lightning into the earth" is somewhat eerie, everyone witnessed his ability to "strike whoever he wants," something they had never seen before.
People are always filled with fear of the unknown, and they firmly believed that Jing Zhe could really keep them all, just like he could keep those thousand generals and the dead cavalrymen...
After a few seconds of reaction, he finally shouted, "We are willing to elect Kadan Qianjiang as the Great King of the Western Frontier!"
"Kadan, Your Majesty!"
"Kadan, Your Majesty!"
"..."
Then, shouts echoed across the grassland.
Jing Zhe smiled with satisfaction.
Kadan was so moved that he cried.
Happiness came too suddenly.
What was initially thought to be a tragedy turned out to be a comedy for him.
"This is the Imperial Seal of the Western Frontier. Now that King Kadan has won over the people, let King Kadan keep this Imperial Seal!"
Jing Zhe took out the imperial seal and handed it to him.
Kadan's mind went blank; he stood there with his hands outstretched, lost in thought.
The situation in Kadan now is very different from that in Chamu back then.
When Chamu was "appointed" as king by Jing Zhe, he still had nine generals with the same rank as him, who would certainly not submit to him.
Now, apart from Kadan, the other nine generals have all been killed by Jing Zhe in order to ensure the stability of Kadan's throne.
Furthermore, even though Kadan was a thousand-man general, he was still the highest-ranking officer in the heavy cavalry regiment, and the remaining cavalrymen still obeyed him.
Therefore, it is reasonable to elect him as king.
"this…"
Kadan accepted the imperial seal, his entire demeanor and status seemingly transformed, and he attempted to communicate with Jing Zhe using his new identity: "Young Master Jing, is there anything... is there that I can help you with?"
"..."
