I really can't control myself

Cheng Yutian did not immediately send troops after hearing this. He had already said before that he already had his own ideas.

He actually had many choices now. If the Tian and Yu families were allowed to kill their only son, the Ma family's direct lineage would be completely wiped out, which wouldn't be too bad for him. When the time comes, it will actually be okay to find a way to suppress the Tian Yu family.

However, the Ma family's youngest son is now two years old and is actually very easy to control. Although he controls the army in his name, he still has more than ten years to infiltrate and turn the Ma Family Army into the Cheng Family Army.

After thinking about it again, Cheng Yutian still favored the two-year-old child. After all, he was a general under Ma Yixiong. The act of standing up to protect the general's grandson at this time was quite beneficial to his reputation. As for the two-year-old child, it shouldn't be difficult to find a time for him to "pass away due to illness" later.

Relying on his reputation to control the army is the best way now, but he still needs to rely on the Ma family's reputation.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yutian had already made a decision. So he quickly gathered his troops and went to quell the rebellion.

Of course, it doesn't take too many people to gather. A thousand regular troops are completely enough. He naturally knew what a bunch of rotten soldiers the Tian and Yu families were. These miscellaneous soldiers were simply not enough to fight against their regular army.

When Cheng Yutian and his people rushed to the city lord's mansion, the situation was already quite dangerous.

At this time, some of the elite guards in the city lord's mansion had actually been taken out and sent away. The entire City Lord's Mansion was completely guarded.

Moreover, the Tian Yu family not only launched a sudden rebellion, but also had internal support. Aren't these two concubines supporting it inside?

If it weren't for some veterans under Ma Yixiong who desperately protected the family leader and quickly sent dead soldiers to break out to find Cheng Yutian, the city lord's mansion would have fallen. When the two-year-old child dies and the direct bloodline is cut off, the only ones who will inherit the Ma family will really be these bastards.

If Cheng Yutian doesn't come to support, it is estimated that the Tian and Yu families will soon settle the matter. By then, Cheng Yutian can't say that he has killed all of Ma Yixiong's bloodline.

It's just that the Tian and Yu families' schemes were ended the moment Cheng Yutian arrived. The addition of a thousand regular troops immediately turned the tide of the battle. It was obvious that a miscellaneous soldier composed of servants could not be the opponent of the regular army.

However, Cheng Yutian still somewhat overestimated the current combat effectiveness of his troops. In normal times, it would be very easy for a thousand troops to annihilate the motley army composed of these servants, but in the current situation, this group of regular troops had just been broken.

The current morale of these soldiers can only be said to be barely able to fight. Of course, no matter how poor the combat effectiveness is, it is obviously enough to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers, but the speed and efficiency of annihilation are quite low.

In terms of morale, the miscellaneous troops on the Tian Yu family's side were actually not much better.

Because it was a rebellion in itself, they themselves felt very guilty. At this time, seeing the regular army troops appearing on the opposite side, the two families were already frightened.

At this time, Cheng Yutian and his troops had directly repelled the troops attacking the city lord's palace. When the heads of the Tian and Yu families saw this situation, they were already shaken.

Naturally, they also knew the result of the failure of the rebellion. For the current plan, we have to do one thing without stopping and go straight to the end. But looking at the regular army troops in front of them, they felt frightened and did not think they could succeed at all.

The only way left was to run away.

Obviously I can't stay in Yongjincheng any longer. Do I want to stay in the city and wait for the Ma family to settle their scores in the future? It is absolutely impossible to spare them.

So the only plan for now is to escape from the city first. It's not like they have no escape route, because they are well-known local gentry and tycoons, and the Tian and Yu families actually have power and property in this area. Yongjin City couldn't survive, so they found a different place to lurk secretly, and there would still be a chance to fight back later.

In short, as soon as the people from Tian and Yu's families were gathered together, they quickly ran out before talking. So they quickly left some people behind, and most of them rushed directly towards the east gate, because the east gate is closest to the city lord's palace, and there is a main road in the past. At this time, the people inside have not reacted. , rush out of the city quickly.

Cheng Yutian really didn't react, because at this time, neither he nor the Tian Yu family expected that there would be danger from the outside.

The troops who had escaped before had told them the specific situation of Linton's troops. There were about 2,000 troops at the beginning, but now it is estimated to be more than 1,000, all of them cavalry, without any baggage or supplies.

So do you think this force poses a threat to Yongjin City?

Although 60,000 troops were lost, there are still thousands of troops in Yongjin City. Tell me how more than 1,000 cavalry can attack the city.

In Cheng Yutian's view, the most that these 1,000 troops could do was loot the surrounding villages and towns. Even if they really want to attack the city, they have to wait for the reinforcements from Tianfeng City to arrive before attacking the city.

It still takes a long time to prepare, at least now Cheng Yutian doesn't take it seriously at all.

What Cheng Yutian didn't know was that the troops he had completely ignored at this time had already arrived at the gates of Yongjin City.

"Uh..." Linton's generals were confused when they saw the solid walls and wide gates of Yongjin City.

This is indeed an important frontier town with more than 60,000 troops stationed. The terrain and city defense can only be described as exaggerated.

According to Dong Ping's idea, if he was given 10,000 people to defend the city, and an army of 100,000 people came to attack, he could defend it for more than half a year. This city wall is so exaggerated that I feel panicked just looking at it.

So how do you fight this thing? The generals also looked towards Linton subconsciously.

"Yeah, yeah, yes, it seems to be a fortified city." Linton nodded with satisfaction. This is a good platform for showing off.

"Inform everyone to prepare to attack the city." Linton ordered directly after admiring the magnificent city.

"Really...attacking the city now?" Dong Ping looked at Linton in surprise. Is this a joke? Is he really attacking the city? How to attack this? You can't just fly up on horseback.

"Just confront me. What nonsense." Linton looked at Dong Ping's expression and was even quite satisfied. After all, ordinary people can fight, so why should he come? Do you know the value of the words "turning the tide"?

The city gate in front of him looked majestic, but for Linton, it was just a matter of punching him. After entering, if the opponent dared to start a street fight, Linton would teach them how to behave with a meteorite.

The next second, before Dong Ping could answer, Linton immediately jumped on his horse and rushed towards the city gate in front. Although Dong Ping and others looked confused, Linton had already gone up after all. Out of blind trust, they could only keep up.

But just before Linton was about to show off his power and turn the tide, the closed door in front suddenly clicked and opened a crack by itself.
